The election Post . Only the Reform Party promises to deal with the anti British BBC – please vote Reform -and if you are going to a voting station – take your own pen …
Wow, I am first.. Have not contributed for a while but read every post. Everyone beats me to it. Just vote for a party that promises to scrap the licence fee.
Good job GWF…. And in the news …. Boris returns for the funeral …. Heseltine dug up accusing Reform of being the black shirts – and badinock ? Telling the blues they’ll be lucky to exist after the election . Bury the tories
Surprised anyone would pay any attention to Heseltine after the horlicks he made of his policies when he was a minister in the old conservative party. However this nation under a Labour government will have a very unsure future ahead. Can’t get my head around the likes of Angela Rayner and Rachel Reese being in positions of real power-Still delighted the Reform party managed to get three seats.
We must have Proportional Representation next time, which will be much farer.
Several friends of mine complained about the way Nigel Farage was treated on Question Time. The audience was clearly selected to be hostile as the BBC on their own admission selected the audience and selected the questions they were asking.
Despite this clear bias, the generic reply set to each compliant was the same regards of the emphasis in the original complaint.
They say they could not predict the direction of the debate despite selecting the questions which is a clearly self contradictory statement
I visited the National Trust property Coughton Court in Warwickshire. Washing my hands in the gents toilet I was surprised to be addressed by a guy leaving. He gestured to the wall behind me and said something about the NT’s adopting such nonsense. I turned to look at the object of his outburst.
On the wall…of the gents toilet…two free tampax dispensers.
I thought the stats were something like 2 thirds of the medical mafia is some type of female . They find the life life balance attractive.
And they can moan about how hard done by they are
According to the pollsters the UK is about to go back to the 1970’s with a Labour government back in power, meanwhile the French are about to kick the lefties out and in the US it’s possible that we might see the return of sanity with Trump returned to power.
Ireland is going to implode, I have this suspicion that ain’t what they thought they were voting for.
IRELAND – Tears for Ireland, as the 200 year old fairy tree in Clonmel in Tipperary is about to be felled by workmen , against the wishes of millions …
It’s amazing how established laws can be overturned for ideological reasons.
I remember the program ‘Windfarm Wars’. It started with both sides talking about the environment, pollution etc and as it dragged on it became abundantly clear that every single person involved was motivated 100% by money. The electric company for the free subsidies and the locals for compensation. The farmer who owned the land instantly retired because he was offered so much cash.
At the end, the final verdict was ‘The windfarm would be refused by every measure of law. But there is a new law saying old laws don’t apply for this.’
So it was approved.
It dawned on me that the entire exercise and public enquiry was a complete and total waste of time and money.
I relectantly assume society has always been like this. One set of truths to keep the people subdued and a totally different set for the real world. And I expect it’s much, much worse today as we drift slowly towards 1984.
‘Windfarm Wars’ – I might have seen the same program – I recall a BBC effort to promote winndmills where one of their pro “experts” was quite the most aggressively censorious bullying green nitwit imaginable. Not open to debate / discussion at all – so much of a thug that I found myself balling my fists – ghastly item who presumed to order everyone around and police facts and language for his own gratification…. A real PoS.
The immigrants make their way north, having no desire to assimilate to French culture, but continuing to demand a First World standard of living, even as they flout laws, do not produce, and murder French citizens, such as factory bosses and shopkeepers, as well as the ordinary people who do not welcome them. They are also joined by the immigrants who already reside in Europe, as well as various left-wing and anarchist groups. Across the West, more and more migrants arrive and have children, rapidly growing to outnumber whites. In a matter of months, the white West has been overrun and pro-immigrant governments have been established, while the white people are ordered to share their houses and flats with the immigrants.
Interestingly, I was doing the Stepford Wife stroll with a trolley around my local Co-op today (so glamorous), when suddenly over the instore tannoy came a request from a young exuberant voice, asking me to sign a petition that the Co-op was instigating, demanding the in-coming government do more on climate change !! I almost dropped my half a dozen Golden Yolks !
There followed a few words from either a Co-op member or employee, I was still getting my head around this so couldn’t be sure. I asked a friendly staff member who was shelf stacking what the hell was that all about, she said she switches off from the muzak and announcements so wasn’t much help.
Have Just Stop Oil infiltrated the Co-op ? its like a comedy sketch written by Galton and Simpson, certainly my branch have all the characters they would need !
New development Co-op stores and feather spitting, ambush pricing go together in this neck of the woods – feels like motorway service areas or air-side at a UK airport.
“the caring, sharing shop you own” – is, these days, utterly farcical.
Our local Coop in a generally affluent rural Cheshire village always has a couple of Morning Star, the Communist newspaper, on the news stand. To the best of my knowledge not one has ever been sold, in years.
I would add that the Coop is a notably corrupt organisation.
Over in France there are riots against the National Rally ( or whatever) taking control .
The BBC asks how a political party that was anti semitic and collaborate with illegal occupiers can take over an important country .
Well you helped them do it BBC when Labour win on Thursday .
And sure enough it’s basically a whining piece attempting to discredit it’s bias and the Conservative members.
What disgust me most about this piece is that we have been watching the most absurd political persecution of Trump by Democrat district attorneys in conjunction with Democrat judges for months. They have been doing their utmost to remove him from the ballot paper and the BBC have not said anything whatsoever about it’s political motivation. All they have ever done is quote Trump saying it then dropped the subject completely.
I have never seen the BBC report how Trump has suddenly gone from nothing to 88 criminal charges – all of which I am willing to bet have been instigated by the democrats. 88 !!!. NEVER mentioned by the BBC. This is exactly what the MSM are supposed to do.
It’s clear to me the judges have made this decision because the Democrats have shown beyond doubt they cannot be trusted to act in a civilised manner and hence this unfortunate law is now necessary. I am 100% convinced that THAT is the reason they made this decision : to protect democracy, not end it.
And the BBC wiull never tell us any of that because THEY are part of the same problem.
In this article they go through the whole court in painstaking detail making as point of telling us Trump appointed 3 judges where Biden has only appointed one. They then spectacularly fail to tell us why. Do Presidents simply sack some to appoint their own ?. Or are there some kind of strict rules and it just happened like that ?. I’ll assume the latter because they BBC don’t go near it because they want to infer it was something underhand by Trump.
Thins are serious now because Trump has a very good chance of winning and the Democrats are running out of legal dirty ways to keep him out. They have invested everything. They are desperate – as the BBC are demonstrating. When people panic, they can do extreme things and this farce is not over yet.
And finally, let’s see the Judge which Biden appointed. I’m not making any comment on her ability or character : I’m saying Biden appointed her because she is a woman and she’s black.
And here are the two appointed by Obama:
Bit of a theme going on there. Are we supposed to believe they really were the best ones for the job ?.
I would love to see a history of their judgements and how often they went against the Democrat line. Of course the BBC won’t tell us that.
The article rambles on telling us the various ways the court could be reformed. But you can be 100% sure that if they had voted AGAINST Trump it would be a fair decision and the court would not have been questioned at all. THAT sums of the BBC and the Left to me.
If Trump is elected and starts the retribution for this attempted political takeover by the Left he will be doing it to PROTECT the democracy THEY have tried to destroy.
The BBC have made the art of lying without lying into an art form.
It’s woven into the entire article. An inflexion in one direction here, a suggestion there and the odd selective snippet given without context.
It all adds up in the unsuspecting readers mind without them even realising it.
Chief Justice Thomas was correct to suggest, obliquely, that Sotomayor’s dissenting judgement was deranged. From what I’ve read she certainly is no first class student of the US constitution.
Much better students of American constitutional law than she have been writing for some time that the legal attacks on Trump for insurrection and election denial are invalid.
Her ranting sounded more like a hysterical student activist than something a supreme court judge should say.
She publicly and totally disrepected the court and it’s authority. Whatever she thought, she should have gone along with the majority decision. Because that is exactly what democracy means.
Robert Barnes is good on SCOTUS detail at vivabarneslaw.
His talks on SCOTUS and the US Constitution are an entertaining masterclass. His rants about Amy Coney Barrett are epic – she’s in there via her social connections and not for her legal acumen…
Judges are allowed to dissent in their judgement. Thus it has always been since the court’s inception. If there were no dissenters, there would be no majority.
She cannot be ‘sacked’. She can be impeached. If justices were impeached and removed for dissenting, there wouldn’t be a judge on the bench.
Kik- as a law student when the House of Lords split on a big decision – say 4-1 we were always encouraged to read the dissenting judgement because it tende to be more ‘reasoned ‘ and detailed than the majority . This applies equally to the UK US jurisdictions .
But if the dissenting judgement was that of a loon – then a tick box loon it will always be . If the US judgement to were normally as reasoned as the UK – then the loon accusation would nt stand .. but polluting the bench with tick boxes might have put paid to that …
I thought conservative types were all for the rule of law. It seems the Trump cult of personality comes before those oft claimed principles and even belief in the fundamentals of democracy.
“I have never seen the BBC report how Trump has suddenly gone from nothing to 88 criminal charges ”
Because he’s a criminal and he’s now being charged with his crimes? It’s not very complicated.
“I am 100% convinced that THAT is the reason they made this decision : to protect democracy, not end it.”
100% convinced -based on zero evidence. Odd way of going about protecting democracy.
“And the BBC wiull never tell us any of that because THEY are part of the same problem.”
The BBC isn’t reporting your own personal, evidence free theories.
“In this article they go through the whole court in painstaking detail making as point of telling us Trump appointed 3 judges where Biden has only appointed one. They then spectacularly fail to tell us why. Do Presidents simply sack some to appoint their own ?. Or are there some kind of strict rules and it just happened like that ?. I’ll assume the latter because they BBC don’t go near it because they want to infer it was something underhand by Trump.”
Maybe you simply lack a basic knowledge of the subject? Justices are appointed for life by a President. Trump nominated three because three happened to die or retire during his term. This is explained in the article.
“And finally, let’s see the Judge which Biden appointed. I’m not making any comment on her ability or character : I’m saying Biden appointed her because she is a woman and she’s black.”
Biden stated his intention to keep his campaign promise to nominate a Black woman
“I would love to see a history of their judgements and how often they went against the Democrat line. Of course the BBC won’t tell us that.”
Your criticism of the BBC is that it hasn’t given you a history of each judge’s judgements throughout their career in the article? Eh, ok then.
Excuse me while I stop laughing at your response K.
‘Because he’s a criminal and he’s now being charged with his crimes.’
What a great reply. You sound like one of those spiteful idiots from the troll farm on a BBC HYS. No doubt you are one. Have you any idea just how stupid that retort is given the circumstances ?.
Did you see Joe proclaim how Trump would be stopped by every means possible right before it all happened ?.
Tell us K, would these charges have been brought if Trump was not running ?. Why did they wait so long do you think ?. What about that ridiculously large fine ?. Was it appropriate do you think ?. Or do you think it might have been – again – intended to damage his ability to campaign ?.
We won’t even mention all the overturned attempts by Democrats to stop Trump even running. In a real democracy, they would have been sacked for abuse of power.
‘Biden stated his intention to keep his campaign promise to nominate a Black woman’
So I was exactly right then ?. And you think it’s OK to put someone on the Supreme Court just for that reason do you ?. Can you not even see just how racist that is ?.
The point I made is how the BBC are quick enough to point out when Judges are Republicans (as they did here) when they don’t like the result of the vote but they don’t tell us anything if they are Democrats. They just pretend it’s due law and order.
Don’t you think it’s a concidence how the BBC suddenly see fit to start criticising the Supreme Court ?. Is that just chance as well ?.
And when someone says they are convinced of something, it is their personal opinion. They don’t have to give evidence. Saying ‘without providing evidence’ is just repeating the same moronic line the BBC use when they don’t like something someone said.
Your reply is just so weak on every level, I suggest you go somewhere where you won’t embarass yourself. Stick to HYS and maybe go look at Quora or Reddit where they have a lot of others like you who exist in groupthink where they are safe from being ridiculed.
Did Biden make Trump steal classified documents, or force him to attempt to overthrow the constitution and democracy? I thought you guys cared about those things?
‘Tell us K, would these charges have been brought if Trump was not running ?. Why did they wait so long do you think ?. What about that ridiculously large fine ?. Was it appropriate do you think ?. Or do you think it might have been – again – intended to damage his ability to campaign ?.’
In fairness, I cannot say for sure what would’ve happened in a different reality – but I suspect so, yes.
I’d say it very likely he would’ve still been charged in the documents case, and the Jan 6th cases. Maybe arguable in the NY case.
I can’t defend every errancy of the US legal system. However the documents case didn’t happen until after he’d left office, the only delays there have largely been those employed by Trump, a habit of a lifetime. I think there’s a stronger case that he is running to avoid prosecution than being prosecuted because he’s running.
The Jan 6th cases – Trump’s insurrection obviously took place at the fag end of his term, and it has been well established that a president could not be prosecuted while in office.
The wheels of justice can grind slowly. I would’ve preferred he’d been arrested immediately after inauguration and prosecutors be much more robust in prosecuting him. Instead if anything he’s been given special treatment, a flaw of the US justice system when dealing with those with wealth and privilege and a difference to the office.
The fine I assume you’re referring to is that of his civil case with E Jean Carroll? The fines he was given for repeatedly and flagrantly breaching his gag order in the New York hush money trial were trivially small.
I don’t know if $350m in damages was out of the ordinary for such as case, how other cases compare etc
The fines in US civil cases can often sound ridiculous. It can also be a bit ridiculous to sentence people to a life sentence plus a hundred+ years, but they’re not that unusual either.
Again though, the great majority of that fine was of his own making by repeatedly defaming and lying about Carroll. Should be nothing for a self-declared billionaire though. Maybe Jared could lend him a few dollars.
‘We won’t even mention all the overturned attempts by Democrats to stop Trump even running. In a real democracy, they would have been sacked for abuse of power.’
The US Constitution states that those who have engaged in insurrection are barred from office. It fails to provide guidance on how this should be established so opened it up to others to decide, such as the Colorado Supreme Court. The judges can’t be ‘sacked’. Political sacking of judges I don’t think would make a ‘real democracy’.
‘And you think it’s OK to put someone on the Supreme Court just for that reason do you ?. Can you not even see just how racist that is ?.’
I didn’t comment on the rights or wrongs of it, but no, I do not think its racist. She isn’t on the court simply because she’s a black woman. There are 20million black women in the US.
I’m a believer in colour-blindness in regard to race, but one can’t also ignore that justices and other high offices have been exclusively white men for a long time, and I’m ok with one being chosen in 2022 from a well qualified group if that provides representation. Republicans did not appear to object to her on this basis – not publicly anyway.
‘The point I made is how the BBC are quick enough to point out when Judges are Republicans (as they did here) when they don’t like the result of the vote but they don’t tell us anything if they are Democrats. They just pretend it’s due law and order.’
If that’s your point, then you’re wrong. The court is ideologically split, its decisions reflect that. It has a conservative majority – this is the current reality. This is explained in the article.
If it was liberal majority , and ruled – for example, that the 2nd amendment had been misread and did not support private gun ownership – you can be assured that if the vote was split on ideological grounds – it absolutely would be relevant and central to coverage. If you don’t accept that, I think you’re just not well informed on the subjects – either on the court or on journalism.
You yourself stated you thought it was a political decision by the court.
‘Don’t you think it’s a concidence how the BBC suddenly see fit to start criticising the Supreme Court ?. Is that just chance as well ?.’
I don’t see the BBC criticising the court in the article.
‘And when someone says they are convinced of something, it is their personal opinion. They don’t have to give evidence. Saying ‘without providing evidence’ is just repeating the same moronic line the BBC use when they don’t like something someone said.’
“It’s clear to me…..beyond doubt….I am 100% convinced”
That’s a little more than an opinion, You are 100% convinced on something you admittedly have no evidence for or cannot provide. If something is ‘clear’, it should be easy to demonstrate.
I’m sorry to break it to you but Trump claims lots of things ‘without providing evidence’. This is a nice way of saying he’s lying through his teeth. You can tell this because his mouth is moving.
‘Your reply is just so weak on every level, I suggest you go somewhere where you won’t embarass yourself. Stick to HYS and maybe go look at Quora or Reddit where they have a lot of others like you who exist in groupthink where they are safe from being ridiculed.’
I have never commented on HYS, Quora or Redditt. Accusing others of groupthink when you’re a denizen of this site – is more than a touch ironic. If you think you can ridicule me, go for it.
You on the other hand appear to support Trump. That right away makes you deserving of ridicule.
It’s clear now that BBC policy is for Biden to retire and someone else take over. And the reason is also clear : to stop Trump getting back in.
So much for ‘unbiased’.
They are doing it subtly like they always do (because they have to). But once they get an item on their agenda, it is like a hammer with some cloth tied around it. Thump, thump, thumb. Day after day.
( I noticed my typo but left it in as it reminds of when I am hammering 😂)
The regular reader will realise that they have stopped unconditionally supporting him and lying by omission for everything against him. Their lack of any reports for years about his mental decline is absolutely laughable. Particularly as it has been so widely reported on the rest of the internet. Even now they won’t call it dementia or going senile, they have very clearly been instructed to simply relate it to ‘age’. The very last thing they want is for him to take a cognitive test. And it’s another whopping lie by omission that they haven’t even mentioned that he won’t take one when Trump did as it is basically proof he is senile.
What always amuses me is how things like this crop up during these articles:
‘In his Tuesday statement, Rep Doggett, 77, said the debate solidified his decision to urge Mr Biden to step aside.’
‘”Instead of reassuring voters, the President failed to effectively defend his many accomplishments and expose Trump’s many lies,” said Rep Doggett’
Who the hell is ‘Rep Doggett’ ?. Never heard of him.
But of course the BBC have picked him because he says exactly what the BBC want to say – but it would expose their bias. This has become the BBC’s way of getting their agenda directly into the articles these days. It’s on my list as BBC ‘lies by quotation’.
And he very kindly said exactly what has been driving the entire BBC narrative:
‘He said too much is at stake to risk the president losing to Trump over fears about his age.’
Bingo. There it is. The rea
Hang in there Joe you nasty old bugger. And if they force you out, make sure you get Kamala in as your replacement. Prove you didn’t just choose her as vice president because you are another left-wing racist.
The other noteable thing about this article is how we have been observing at the BBC is how everyone else is far-right, but those on the Left are never identified as such:
‘Several have flocked to liberal-leaning network MSNBC to defend him.’
I noticed that in the Judges articles as well : it seems this is another directive for the BBC clones : use ‘liberal’ instead of ‘Left’. As usual, it appears simultaneously across different articles – so it proves there is a BBC ‘political’ team continually manipulating the narratives and instructing staff to follow them. Known as ‘commissars’ in their socialist world.
The BBC are certainly ramping up their political activism and working hard to cover it up with new tricks.

I beg to differ on your approach . It is Obama who makes the decisions – who chose him – who chose karmela . He owns the msm enabling the dementia cover up – the unconditional support – the hatred of president trump – and of course the huge operation to steal and cover up the election . That was a magnificent piece of planning
The same goes for the control of the federal agencies enabling rolling law suits used as a secondary weapon to destroy trump and his support
Obamas weakness is he hasn’t had president trump killed – yet . Yes I mean murdered .
But now that the msm has been given permission to question the viability of Biden – Obama has a time problem in deciding on a replacement and continuing to erode the standing of President Trump –
It maybe more difficult to control the factions of the democrats as well as ensuring that a compliant candidate is in place by the end of July ….
That’s why I reckon Mrs Obama is a good bet – and since it gives Barack an excuse to ‘return ‘ and endorse his wife it’s surely a win win for him . However – I’m not sure just how much Barack is ‘revered ‘ – is he a JFK ? Or did Americans have enough of him ?
I assume the mechanisms for fixing the vote are still in place so there’ll be no question of president trump being cheated again ..
Yes the jfk thing is a constant distraction from current day issues … and really should be filed under ‘channel 5’…
If president trump was killed – would the msm find ‘the truth ‘ ? The most likely method would be injecting cancer or a heart attack / stroke to ensure a never ending ambiguity …. public slaughter might have unintended consequences …
I’ve wondered that Fed and I’m quite certain they will treat it like they did Jan 06.
When the protestors take to the streets, they will be called insurrectionists and quickly jailed without bail. You can be sure they covertly have the Army on standby before they do it.
The bit which really bothers me is that I am 100% certain that the BBC and the MSM will go along with whatever fake cover story they put out and label anything else as a conspiracy theory.
When you have their kind of power, dissenters who cannot be suppressed will disappear and it won’t be reported.
This was unimaginable to me in the past – but now I see them for what they are.
Fair enough Fed, but in response I’ll pick a bit of yours:
‘That was a magnificent piece of planning’
I would say
‘That was a magnificent piece of suppression.’
The genius part was how they got the entire MSM to add the phrase ‘Trump falsely claimed ..’ to everything without them possibly being able to prove it was false.
It takes a special kind of ethic for a news organisation to do that.
JohnC
I admire what Obama did – I can only imagine the level of collusion and confidentiality involved – especially with the cover up . Everyone must have been ‘hand picked ‘ to do it and remain silent .
I do find it hard to believe that the msm – usually amoral and always after the ‘edge ‘ unified into one uncritical view with no dissent at all …
But then we punters are told we live in a democracy and there are ‘freedoms ‘- even a country with a solid constitution can be subverted using the very State itself …
Ours – of course – as we are about the see – is far easier to subvert – we – after all – have 77 brigade ( morning guys and gals )
Just imagine the level of confidence he has in the support of the MSM. It would have totally destroyed everything if they didn’t play ball and blew the whole thing wide open.
But none of them did. They all sang from exactly the same hymn sheet. That is the truly amazing thing.
Except Tucker Carlson – and they made him an object of hate. And just by chance he has been completely removed from the MSM ‘system’. But he refuses to be quiet : I am surprised they haven’t found something to jail him for like they did Belfield.
The BBC will never go near stories like this, but for me it sums up perfectly the gulf between the Leftists ideology and the real world.
London is basically what happens when the liberal multiculturalist agenda is pushed because of ideological theory. It received everything : special rules for non-whites, no racial profiling for stop-and-search or anything else despite statisical evidence of who is committing the crimes and we even have special rules for the media not to report anything negative against any minority – whatever they do.
And despite all these ‘special’ advantages to appease them, have these groups said ‘you know what, I like this culture and I think I will change myself to fit in.’ ?.
Nope. They have done EXACTLY what the people they originate from do. They see it as something to be taken advantage of and get even worse. They turn the streets into our own version of various other shitholes around the world.
And what is the response of the Left to this ?. They just label anyone who points it out as ‘racists’ and attempt to suppress their opinions. Aka fascism.
This principle of ideology-over-reality is why they destroy everything they try to change. It’s even worse over in the USA now.
GBNews are a bit naughty in that article with a line more worthy of the BBC:
‘Detective Peter Bleksley admitted that although Sheeran is right in his claims, he joked that it “makes him sick to his stomach” to be siding with the pop star.’
What he actually said is:
“It sickens me to the very pit of my stomach to say that Ed Sheeran is right.”
Not the same at all GB News.
I’ve noticed a few times that GB News depends 100% on the character of it’s presenters to keep flying the flag. I get the very distinct impression that many of those behind the scenes are from the mainstream media and are just working there because they need a job – but are lefties at heart.
The President of the USA had a bad debate because –
A he had a cold
B he had jet lag
C he just had a bad night
D he had a good debate he ‘answered all the questions ‘*
E none of the above .. it was because he has dexxxtia
* he got more ‘supporters ‘ because of his performance …
I had to sell my car because of the emirs ‘ ULEZ .it was a nice little diesel . Now I find out that the emir is to include electric cars in the ULEZ . I was thinking of buying one . But maybe he has a false agenda about cars .
Future looks awful .
You should have invested in a new set of number plates. It seems to work for members of the Welsh pretend parliament. But use better glue than she did.
An allegation suddenly coming up from THIRTY years ago.
Good God. Is there no lower limit to how dirty the Left – with full support of the BBC – are prepared to go to discredit their opponents ?.
Once again they repeat claims by somebody else without any other evidence whatsoever. This time it is ‘Vanity Fair’ magazine whose webiste has two main headlines : One about Trump asking ‘How do we avert disaster’ and another trashing Kennedy.
It’s gutter press of the highest level and the BBC see fit to use their own multi-billion resources (paid for through taxing the public) to give it a bigger audience.
This must be the dirtiest political campaign by the Democrats in human history. The Nazis truly are back : they have no ethics whatsoever.
I Guggled RFK because of this and amongst others, went to the Wiki page,something I rarely do because of Wiki’s Leftoid stance. I noticed that at the bottom of his page was a recording of his voice.
Being suspicious, I wondered if this was new and if it is nowadays provided to facilitate AI impersonation.
They do have ONE article about Reform on the election page. And it’s no surprise what it is:
‘Second candidate defects from Reform UK to Tories’
‘A Reform UK candidate has suspended her campaign and defected to the Conservatives because the “vast majority” of her fellow candidates are “racist, misogynistic and bigoted”.’
How nice of the Tories to accept ‘Georgie David’ but one wonders why she left it to such a critical moment.
But the BBC don’t care about that : they are part of the dirty tricks campaign themselves. As this headline proves.
Another story to simultaneously appear on dozens of news websites. What are the chances of that ?. Almost like it is coordinated …
She was probably a ‘sleeper’, put in there to try and make things difficult for Reform! She was only chosen a few weeks ago, so how she’s managed to get around the whole country in that time, well’, that’s awful lot of beeboid money spent on trains and hotels!
Are they all staunch Tories there, y’know, the really aristocratic wealthy elite, ready to create jobs, build businesses, farming etc?
Publicity stunt by the Tories, and another one to remember when they whinge and whine after tomorrow.
‘The policies have further destabilised the region and “put a target on America’s back”, they say in a joint statement.’
‘The former officials accuse the US government of clinging to a “failed policy” that has not only been devastating for the Palestinian people but has endangered Israelis, stifled free speech and undermined US credibility over its commitment to a rules-based international order.’
Amazing how the opinion of just a few gets to be the main story if it’s in line with the far-left BBC agenda.
What the BBC are ACTUALLY doing here – and have basically been saying all along – is saying that the kind of barbaric terrorism by Hamas is an acceptable way to get what you want and the USA are wrong to react like this in the fight to eradicate them.
There is no counter-argument that terrorism must be fought with zero tolerance to show others what happens if you do it.
It’s an absolutely appalling article.
I wonder if ‘Tom Bateman’ who wrote it thought of it himself or was instructed to come up with the article by the BBC commissars in charge.
Islamic terrorist put targets on Islamic followers around the world – breaking news.

He addressed the nation just after 7am in London, saying Brexit was now the “irrefutable, irresistible, unarguable decision of the British people” and promising those who lent their vote to the Tories in traditional Labour areas: “I will not let you down.”

Reform election candidate defectors
I notice Richard Tice is accusing the Tories of planting their people as Reform election candidates. Exactly what I said yesterday.
Dear GW. They take no notice of people who don’t vote, they do have to count people who spoil their ballot papers. A black marker pen and “none of the above” works as does a drawing of a pile of cow dung..
Do you notice that there is neither ‘coverage ‘ of this case – this Islamic vermin – nor anything about him ? I mean – he wanted to blow up a hospital – did he lack the imaginative horror of killing babies in maternity ? Or a primary school ?
Who was he ? Was he ‘British ? Family ? What are they ?how much benefits ? Why isn’t he dead ?

I know it’s been previously reported but I can’t get out of my mind the wonderful thought that if the 200,000 Glastonbury crowd were so keen to hear a speaker talk about mass open door immigration, then why did the organisers need to build miles of 10 feet high metal barriers around the festival site to keep out people who had no right to be there?
As well as the Super Fortress Fence, we also supply the festival with almost 20km of temporary roadways, 14km of additional fencing, eight bridges, crowd control barriers and pedestrian walkways. This vital equipment ensures the organisers, contractors, security and festival goers can move around the site safely.
I might have added that all those thousands of save the planet green eco warrior types at Glastonbury……….errrrr………..left thousands of tonnes of plastic waste, tents, blow-up mattresses and general detritus to be cleared up by others.
As any mountain walker knows, what you take on to the mountain you take off the mountain. You do not leave anything. Clearly not an essential for your average woke right-on festival goer.

Syrians attack Turkish troops after anti-migrant riots
Close
Turkey is reported to have closed its main border crossings into northwest Syria after its troops were attacked by Syrians angered by violence against their countrymen in Turkey.
Turkish police had earlier announced the arrest of nearly 500 people following attacks on Syrian properties and vehicles in several Turkish cities.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cv2g917x2p1o
So, it’s the last day of campaigning and I’m sitting here with my morning cuppa, wondering just what half-witted shenanigans Ed Davey is going to get up to. What else can this idiot possibly do?
He’s fallen off surfboards, toppled out of canoes, his podgy carcass has plopped down a water chute and done a bungee jump…and now, on the last day, his piece de resistance…
Mr Ed has done everything he possibly can to avoid any awkward questions about his involvement in the appalling post office scandal…and the useless bloody media, to their shame have, by and large, allowed him to get away with it.
This useless lump will lead a parliamentary party with perhaps 50 plus seats. He’s faced little to no scrutiny. “Oh, it’s the cuddly Lib-Dems… they’re harmless.”
While Reform have been harassed and hounded, Nigel Farage milk-shaked and had rocks lobbed at him, their canvassers covertly filmed by sleazy “journalists”, Mr Ed and his henchmen have been given a free ride.
Where is the scrutiny? Where are the tough questions? “Ooh, look it’s Ed. He’s trying to ride a unicycle while juggling. What a card.”
Does anyone, ANYONE actually know what the LibDems stand for?
They are still campaigning against the Tories. And getting a free ride. But the Tories are already toast, so what’s the game? Cosying up to Labour? Will Labour want to be cosied up to? Plotting to rejoin the saintly EU with SirKeer? Setting up a cosy deal for proportional representation? Do they agree with HS2? Apparently. Yet they won a bi-election in Bucks campaigning against it!
A worse bunch of incoherent chancers it is hard to imagine. Yet Tory voters apparently are going to vote Lib Dem? FFS. So why are the useless Tories not campaigning against them? A complete s***fest.
They’ll rock up to Strummer and Crayons by the weekend!
I’ve got a similar feeling to that of Binns Minor in the Jennings stories.
The boy was selling fossils at their school fete, and they were just big pebbles. When asked why he knew they were fossils, he explained that if he looks at them in a funny way, something tells him that there’s a fossil inside!
That’s absolutely true, I promise you, ‘wizard prang’!
If present candidates in this neck of the woods is is any measure – entitled busybodies with zero common sense and the occasional entitled bloke in a wig and lipstick,
That said , the last LibDem MP here was actually diligent and competent if a bit soppy.
The only thing I know for sure is that the ‘Dem’ part does not stand for ‘Democrats’.
They are just more intolerant Lefty hypocrites. The Liberals are the real nasty ones : far-Left who keep their feeling of hate suppressed and are mild-mannered, softly-spoken quiet people until they lose their temper. Then their true character comes out. Proper Jekyll and Hydes.

The ‘Divine Right of Kings’, Top down, Expert led vision where the politicians have a conviction and ‘persuade’ the electorate to alter their thinking to match the political ideal. Favoured in the continental, marxist and WEF worlds. The people live by the permission of their superiors. Promoted by current Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem and Green parties alike. Democrats in the US.
The ‘Wisdom of crowds’, populist or Darwinian system where a consensus is divined from the public and the political group who most closely matches this gains the most support. Favoured in the Anglo Saxon and Nordic traditions. The politicians have power by the consent of the people. Reform, SDP and other minor parties in the UK, Republicans in the US.
Reform isn’t doing well because it has persuaded people to follow their vision. It is popular because they have, by luck, common sense or research presented a vision reflecting what people want.
The unceasing anti Tory BBC tirade continued last night with a lament for the NHS. Of course, covid lockdowns and endless Doctors’ strikes and 650,000 population increase through mass immigration have had no effect whatever on waiting list times.
The whinge was for the inability to get to see a GP. Well, we can all understand that. The featured whinger was a grossly obese woman. The article then shifted to a GP. Who was also a grossly obese woman.
Was this a sort of black joke from the BBC? Are the editorial team clever enough? The obvious unspoken takeaway message was that people should be taking some level of personal responsibility for their health. But that concept is usually anathema to the collectivist BBC because it’s all the fault of the evil Tories, right?
Talk about confusing messaging.
It remains to be seen who the Welsh Labour government will now blame for their shortcomings with NHS(Wales). Up until now it has always been “The Westminster Tories don’t give us enough money”.

TOADY Watch #1 – have the BBC helped to undermine the Labour Party ‘SuperMajority’?
The BBC love an opportunity to attack the Conservative Party. Rishi Sunak appeared to have handed the BBC and its Leftist-leaning comrades another opportunity to go on the offensive against the Tories. Rishi Sunak, no doubt speaking from over two years experience of being Prime Minister said you cannot always go off duty at 6 p.m. on a Friday night as the sucker in charge of the Labour Party said as recently as yesterday.
The revelation that Sir Keir Starmer’s wife is Jewish might just cost Labour lots of pro-Palestinian youth votes and also the votes of Islamic Labour voters. Oooops! If that is not bad enough, the question in many Jewish minds as in mine will be “Is Sir Keir’s wife, Victoria, an observant Jewess” in that does she hold to the full tenets of the Jewish faith? Apparently not but I only have Wiki to inform me there. That may cost Labour more votes because not only the pro-Palestinian voters will be less inclined to vote for the Labour Party but many fully observant Jews including the Orthodox Jewish voters may be less inclined to vote for Labour now.
I hope the BBC keep up this line of attack for all of this day’s news broadcasts.
Brissles, except that in winter Shabat may start as early as 4pm so the sucker in charge of the Labour Party doesn’t know his Judaism from his Jerusalem. Aacchh, he’s only a ‘liberal’ anyway!
That may cost Labour more votes because not only the pro-Palestinian voters will be less inclined to vote for the Labour Party but many fully observant Jews including the Orthodox Jewish voters may be less inclined to vote for Labour now.
I think I read in the Jewish Chronicle that 60% of the Jewish Community (population 250,000 and traditionally left leaning), are likely to vote Conservative rather than the Muslim courting Labour Party.
It’s been obvious from the start that the cost of owning an electric vehicle would be increased through tax etc to match what it costs to run a ICE car.
They know what people will accept to pay for having a car so they will raise the price accordingly.
They did it with petrol : the price went up and up until protests started. Then it came down just a bit and has always stayed within that ballpark whatever the cost of oil.
The typical life span of a wind turbine is 20 years, with routine maintenance required every six months. Wind turbine power output is variable due to the fluctuation in wind speed; however, when coupled with an energy storage device, wind power can provide a steady power output.
‘Sir Keir Starmer says he’s “not worried in the slightest” by Boris Johnson’s intervention last night.’
‘He described Johnson as “Exhibit A” of the argument that Labour has been making, that the Tories are chaotic and divided.’
And the place I got it from is just repeating what they already reported further down the article. They are just keeping it up at the top.
Other ‘headlines’ are:
‘It is not normal for a politician to concede defeat’
(Some Tory said that Labour would win and the BBC have suddenly given him his 15 minutes of fame)
‘Labour tout their wares on branded Welsh cakes’
A feel good piece promoting Labour.
‘Starmer says voters still need convincing despite buoyant mood’
”Turn the page and start to rebuild with Labour’ – Starmer’
‘Starmer says Labour government would make a difference in Wales’
With a lovely picture of lovely Starmer smiling and happy.
‘Gordon Brown attacks Reform UK ahead of polling day’
Jesus H Christ – do the BBC not know how little respect Brown has ?.
”Change will only come if people vote for it’ – McFadden’
Pro-Labour soapbox again.
‘It’s not standard practice to concede defeat on election eve’
The same story as above : for some reason the BBC are running this again and again.
”We need to hold Labour to account after 14 damaging Conservative years”
I stopped there. It goes on and on. This is their last chance : they can’t report anything tomorrow.
It’s outrageous abuse of power and pure election interference by the BBC.
BBC plus other media are on the attack: “‘I am not a church boy’: RFK Jr responds to sex assault allegation”.
The charges are: 1) he once groped a babysitter and 2) joked with a friend about eating dog in Korea (a pic of him eating a BBQ’d carcass has emerged, which he says was actually goat in South America). The Vanity Fair hack who interviewed him said the photo showed RFK was “simultaneously mocking Korean culture, reveling in animal cruelty, and needlessly risking his reputation and that of his family”.
That’s the best they can do. A mountain of dodgy evidence on Biden including taking showers with his own daughter, but this is what outrages the liberal media.

Most provocative was Mark Steyn, who cited an International Monetary Fund prediction that China will be the world’s dominant economic power by around 2015. What’s more, Steyn seemed to believe this.
Coren, as host, offered no substantial opinion but probed Steyn who, in his unique way, predicted America was evolving from “a nation of aircraft carriers to a nation of debt carriers.” By its interest payments alone to China, the U.S. will be “covering the entire cost of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.”

Several friends of mine complained about the way Nigel Farage was treated on Question Time. The audience was clearly selected to be hostile as the BBC on their own admission selected the audience and selected the questions they were asking.
Despite this clear bias, the generic reply set to each compliant was the same regards of the emphasis in the original complaint.
They say they could not predict the direction of the debate despite selecting the questions which is a clearly self contradictory statement

It’s amazing how established laws can be overturned for ideological reasons.
I remember the program ‘Windfarm Wars’. It started with both sides talking about the environment, pollution etc and as it dragged on it became abundantly clear that every single person involved was motivated 100% by money. The electric company for the free subsidies and the locals for compensation. The farmer who owned the land instantly retired because he was offered so much cash.
At the end, the final verdict was ‘The windfarm would be refused by every measure of law. But there is a new law saying old laws don’t apply for this.’
So it was approved.
It dawned on me that the entire exercise and public enquiry was a complete and total waste of time and money.
I relectantly assume society has always been like this. One set of truths to keep the people subdued and a totally different set for the real world. And I expect it’s much, much worse today as we drift slowly towards 1984.

The immigrants make their way north, having no desire to assimilate to French culture, but continuing to demand a First World standard of living, even as they flout laws, do not produce, and murder French citizens, such as factory bosses and shopkeepers, as well as the ordinary people who do not welcome them. They are also joined by the immigrants who already reside in Europe, as well as various left-wing and anarchist groups. Across the West, more and more migrants arrive and have children, rapidly growing to outnumber whites. In a matter of months, the white West has been overrun and pro-immigrant governments have been established, while the white people are ordered to share their houses and flats with the immigrants.

Interestingly, I was doing the Stepford Wife stroll with a trolley around my local Co-op today (so glamorous), when suddenly over the instore tannoy came a request from a young exuberant voice, asking me to sign a petition that the Co-op was instigating, demanding the in-coming government do more on climate change !! I almost dropped my half a dozen Golden Yolks !
There followed a few words from either a Co-op member or employee, I was still getting my head around this so couldn’t be sure. I asked a friendly staff member who was shelf stacking what the hell was that all about, she said she switches off from the muzak and announcements so wasn’t much help.

Just went to the BBC to check if they are running another story on the Supreme Court decision and sure enough:
‘How the Supreme Court became a political battlefield’
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crg4rz6zedyo
And sure enough it’s basically a whining piece attempting to discredit it’s bias and the Conservative members.
What disgust me most about this piece is that we have been watching the most absurd political persecution of Trump by Democrat district attorneys in conjunction with Democrat judges for months. They have been doing their utmost to remove him from the ballot paper and the BBC have not said anything whatsoever about it’s political motivation. All they have ever done is quote Trump saying it then dropped the subject completely.
I have never seen the BBC report how Trump has suddenly gone from nothing to 88 criminal charges – all of which I am willing to bet have been instigated by the democrats. 88 !!!. NEVER mentioned by the BBC. This is exactly what the MSM are supposed to do.
It’s clear to me the judges have made this decision because the Democrats have shown beyond doubt they cannot be trusted to act in a civilised manner and hence this unfortunate law is now necessary. I am 100% convinced that THAT is the reason they made this decision : to protect democracy, not end it.
And the BBC wiull never tell us any of that because THEY are part of the same problem.
In this article they go through the whole court in painstaking detail making as point of telling us Trump appointed 3 judges where Biden has only appointed one. They then spectacularly fail to tell us why. Do Presidents simply sack some to appoint their own ?. Or are there some kind of strict rules and it just happened like that ?. I’ll assume the latter because they BBC don’t go near it because they want to infer it was something underhand by Trump.
Thins are serious now because Trump has a very good chance of winning and the Democrats are running out of legal dirty ways to keep him out. They have invested everything. They are desperate – as the BBC are demonstrating. When people panic, they can do extreme things and this farce is not over yet.
And finally, let’s see the Judge which Biden appointed. I’m not making any comment on her ability or character : I’m saying Biden appointed her because she is a woman and she’s black.
And here are the two appointed by Obama:
Bit of a theme going on there. Are we supposed to believe they really were the best ones for the job ?.
I would love to see a history of their judgements and how often they went against the Democrat line. Of course the BBC won’t tell us that.
The article rambles on telling us the various ways the court could be reformed. But you can be 100% sure that if they had voted AGAINST Trump it would be a fair decision and the court would not have been questioned at all. THAT sums of the BBC and the Left to me.
If Trump is elected and starts the retribution for this attempted political takeover by the Left he will be doing it to PROTECT the democracy THEY have tried to destroy.

Chief Justice Thomas was correct to suggest, obliquely, that Sotomayor’s dissenting judgement was deranged. From what I’ve read she certainly is no first class student of the US constitution.

She publicly and totally disrepected the court and it’s authority. Whatever she thought, she should have gone along with the majority decision. Because that is exactly what democracy means.
She should be sacked.

Robert Barnes is good on SCOTUS detail at vivabarneslaw.
His talks on SCOTUS and the US Constitution are an entertaining masterclass. His rants about Amy Coney Barrett are epic – she’s in there via her social connections and not for her legal acumen…

Judges are allowed to dissent in their judgement. Thus it has always been since the court’s inception. If there were no dissenters, there would be no majority.
She cannot be ‘sacked’. She can be impeached. If justices were impeached and removed for dissenting, there wouldn’t be a judge on the bench.

Kik- as a law student when the House of Lords split on a big decision – say 4-1 we were always encouraged to read the dissenting judgement because it tende to be more ‘reasoned ‘ and detailed than the majority . This applies equally to the UK US jurisdictions .
But if the dissenting judgement was that of a loon – then a tick box loon it will always be . If the US judgement to were normally as reasoned as the UK – then the loon accusation would nt stand .. but polluting the bench with tick boxes might have put paid to that …

“I have never seen the BBC report how Trump has suddenly gone from nothing to 88 criminal charges ”
Because he’s a criminal and he’s now being charged with his crimes? It’s not very complicated.
“I am 100% convinced that THAT is the reason they made this decision : to protect democracy, not end it.”
100% convinced -based on zero evidence. Odd way of going about protecting democracy.
“And the BBC wiull never tell us any of that because THEY are part of the same problem.”
The BBC isn’t reporting your own personal, evidence free theories.
“In this article they go through the whole court in painstaking detail making as point of telling us Trump appointed 3 judges where Biden has only appointed one. They then spectacularly fail to tell us why. Do Presidents simply sack some to appoint their own ?. Or are there some kind of strict rules and it just happened like that ?. I’ll assume the latter because they BBC don’t go near it because they want to infer it was something underhand by Trump.”
Maybe you simply lack a basic knowledge of the subject? Justices are appointed for life by a President. Trump nominated three because three happened to die or retire during his term. This is explained in the article.
“And finally, let’s see the Judge which Biden appointed. I’m not making any comment on her ability or character : I’m saying Biden appointed her because she is a woman and she’s black.”
Biden stated his intention to keep his campaign promise to nominate a Black woman
“I would love to see a history of their judgements and how often they went against the Democrat line. Of course the BBC won’t tell us that.”
Your criticism of the BBC is that it hasn’t given you a history of each judge’s judgements throughout their career in the article? Eh, ok then.

Excuse me while I stop laughing at your response K.

What a great reply. You sound like one of those spiteful idiots from the troll farm on a BBC HYS. No doubt you are one. Have you any idea just how stupid that retort is given the circumstances ?.
Did you see Joe proclaim how Trump would be stopped by every means possible right before it all happened ?.
Tell us K, would these charges have been brought if Trump was not running ?. Why did they wait so long do you think ?. What about that ridiculously large fine ?. Was it appropriate do you think ?. Or do you think it might have been – again – intended to damage his ability to campaign ?.
We won’t even mention all the overturned attempts by Democrats to stop Trump even running. In a real democracy, they would have been sacked for abuse of power.
‘Biden stated his intention to keep his campaign promise to nominate a Black woman’
So I was exactly right then ?. And you think it’s OK to put someone on the Supreme Court just for that reason do you ?. Can you not even see just how racist that is ?.
The point I made is how the BBC are quick enough to point out when Judges are Republicans (as they did here) when they don’t like the result of the vote but they don’t tell us anything if they are Democrats. They just pretend it’s due law and order.
Don’t you think it’s a concidence how the BBC suddenly see fit to start criticising the Supreme Court ?. Is that just chance as well ?.
And when someone says they are convinced of something, it is their personal opinion. They don’t have to give evidence. Saying ‘without providing evidence’ is just repeating the same moronic line the BBC use when they don’t like something someone said.
Your reply is just so weak on every level, I suggest you go somewhere where you won’t embarass yourself. Stick to HYS and maybe go look at Quora or Reddit where they have a lot of others like you who exist in groupthink where they are safe from being ridiculed.

Did Biden make Trump steal classified documents, or force him to attempt to overthrow the constitution and democracy? I thought you guys cared about those things?
‘Tell us K, would these charges have been brought if Trump was not running ?. Why did they wait so long do you think ?. What about that ridiculously large fine ?. Was it appropriate do you think ?. Or do you think it might have been – again – intended to damage his ability to campaign ?.’
In fairness, I cannot say for sure what would’ve happened in a different reality – but I suspect so, yes.
I’d say it very likely he would’ve still been charged in the documents case, and the Jan 6th cases. Maybe arguable in the NY case.
I can’t defend every errancy of the US legal system. However the documents case didn’t happen until after he’d left office, the only delays there have largely been those employed by Trump, a habit of a lifetime. I think there’s a stronger case that he is running to avoid prosecution than being prosecuted because he’s running.
The Jan 6th cases – Trump’s insurrection obviously took place at the fag end of his term, and it has been well established that a president could not be prosecuted while in office.
The wheels of justice can grind slowly. I would’ve preferred he’d been arrested immediately after inauguration and prosecutors be much more robust in prosecuting him. Instead if anything he’s been given special treatment, a flaw of the US justice system when dealing with those with wealth and privilege and a difference to the office.
The fine I assume you’re referring to is that of his civil case with E Jean Carroll? The fines he was given for repeatedly and flagrantly breaching his gag order in the New York hush money trial were trivially small.
I don’t know if $350m in damages was out of the ordinary for such as case, how other cases compare etc
The fines in US civil cases can often sound ridiculous. It can also be a bit ridiculous to sentence people to a life sentence plus a hundred+ years, but they’re not that unusual either.
Again though, the great majority of that fine was of his own making by repeatedly defaming and lying about Carroll. Should be nothing for a self-declared billionaire though. Maybe Jared could lend him a few dollars.
‘We won’t even mention all the overturned attempts by Democrats to stop Trump even running. In a real democracy, they would have been sacked for abuse of power.’
The US Constitution states that those who have engaged in insurrection are barred from office. It fails to provide guidance on how this should be established so opened it up to others to decide, such as the Colorado Supreme Court. The judges can’t be ‘sacked’. Political sacking of judges I don’t think would make a ‘real democracy’.
‘And you think it’s OK to put someone on the Supreme Court just for that reason do you ?. Can you not even see just how racist that is ?.’
I didn’t comment on the rights or wrongs of it, but no, I do not think its racist. She isn’t on the court simply because she’s a black woman. There are 20million black women in the US.
I’m a believer in colour-blindness in regard to race, but one can’t also ignore that justices and other high offices have been exclusively white men for a long time, and I’m ok with one being chosen in 2022 from a well qualified group if that provides representation. Republicans did not appear to object to her on this basis – not publicly anyway.
‘The point I made is how the BBC are quick enough to point out when Judges are Republicans (as they did here) when they don’t like the result of the vote but they don’t tell us anything if they are Democrats. They just pretend it’s due law and order.’
If that’s your point, then you’re wrong. The court is ideologically split, its decisions reflect that. It has a conservative majority – this is the current reality. This is explained in the article.
If it was liberal majority , and ruled – for example, that the 2nd amendment had been misread and did not support private gun ownership – you can be assured that if the vote was split on ideological grounds – it absolutely would be relevant and central to coverage. If you don’t accept that, I think you’re just not well informed on the subjects – either on the court or on journalism.
You yourself stated you thought it was a political decision by the court.
‘Don’t you think it’s a concidence how the BBC suddenly see fit to start criticising the Supreme Court ?. Is that just chance as well ?.’
I don’t see the BBC criticising the court in the article.
‘And when someone says they are convinced of something, it is their personal opinion. They don’t have to give evidence. Saying ‘without providing evidence’ is just repeating the same moronic line the BBC use when they don’t like something someone said.’
“It’s clear to me…..beyond doubt….I am 100% convinced”
That’s a little more than an opinion, You are 100% convinced on something you admittedly have no evidence for or cannot provide. If something is ‘clear’, it should be easy to demonstrate.
I’m sorry to break it to you but Trump claims lots of things ‘without providing evidence’. This is a nice way of saying he’s lying through his teeth. You can tell this because his mouth is moving.
‘Your reply is just so weak on every level, I suggest you go somewhere where you won’t embarass yourself. Stick to HYS and maybe go look at Quora or Reddit where they have a lot of others like you who exist in groupthink where they are safe from being ridiculed.’
I have never commented on HYS, Quora or Redditt. Accusing others of groupthink when you’re a denizen of this site – is more than a touch ironic. If you think you can ridicule me, go for it.

Biden blames jet lag and travel for poor debate performance
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4ngx67qle6o
It’s clear now that BBC policy is for Biden to retire and someone else take over. And the reason is also clear : to stop Trump getting back in.
So much for ‘unbiased’.
They are doing it subtly like they always do (because they have to). But once they get an item on their agenda, it is like a hammer with some cloth tied around it. Thump, thump, thumb. Day after day.
( I noticed my typo but left it in as it reminds of when I am hammering 😂)
The regular reader will realise that they have stopped unconditionally supporting him and lying by omission for everything against him. Their lack of any reports for years about his mental decline is absolutely laughable. Particularly as it has been so widely reported on the rest of the internet. Even now they won’t call it dementia or going senile, they have very clearly been instructed to simply relate it to ‘age’. The very last thing they want is for him to take a cognitive test. And it’s another whopping lie by omission that they haven’t even mentioned that he won’t take one when Trump did as it is basically proof he is senile.
What always amuses me is how things like this crop up during these articles:
‘In his Tuesday statement, Rep Doggett, 77, said the debate solidified his decision to urge Mr Biden to step aside.’
‘”Instead of reassuring voters, the President failed to effectively defend his many accomplishments and expose Trump’s many lies,” said Rep Doggett’
Who the hell is ‘Rep Doggett’ ?. Never heard of him.
But of course the BBC have picked him because he says exactly what the BBC want to say – but it would expose their bias. This has become the BBC’s way of getting their agenda directly into the articles these days. It’s on my list as BBC ‘lies by quotation’.
And he very kindly said exactly what has been driving the entire BBC narrative:
‘He said too much is at stake to risk the president losing to Trump over fears about his age.’
Bingo. There it is. The rea
Hang in there Joe you nasty old bugger. And if they force you out, make sure you get Kamala in as your replacement. Prove you didn’t just choose her as vice president because you are another left-wing racist.
The other noteable thing about this article is how we have been observing at the BBC is how everyone else is far-right, but those on the Left are never identified as such:
‘Several have flocked to liberal-leaning network MSNBC to defend him.’
I noticed that in the Judges articles as well : it seems this is another directive for the BBC clones : use ‘liberal’ instead of ‘Left’. As usual, it appears simultaneously across different articles – so it proves there is a BBC ‘political’ team continually manipulating the narratives and instructing staff to follow them. Known as ‘commissars’ in their socialist world.
The BBC are certainly ramping up their political activism and working hard to cover it up with new tricks.

I beg to differ on your approach . It is Obama who makes the decisions – who chose him – who chose karmela . He owns the msm enabling the dementia cover up – the unconditional support – the hatred of president trump – and of course the huge operation to steal and cover up the election . That was a magnificent piece of planning
The same goes for the control of the federal agencies enabling rolling law suits used as a secondary weapon to destroy trump and his support
Obamas weakness is he hasn’t had president trump killed – yet . Yes I mean murdered .
But now that the msm has been given permission to question the viability of Biden – Obama has a time problem in deciding on a replacement and continuing to erode the standing of President Trump –
It maybe more difficult to control the factions of the democrats as well as ensuring that a compliant candidate is in place by the end of July ….
That’s why I reckon Mrs Obama is a good bet – and since it gives Barack an excuse to ‘return ‘ and endorse his wife it’s surely a win win for him . However – I’m not sure just how much Barack is ‘revered ‘ – is he a JFK ? Or did Americans have enough of him ?
I assume the mechanisms for fixing the vote are still in place so there’ll be no question of president trump being cheated again ..

I’ve wondered that Fed and I’m quite certain they will treat it like they did Jan 06.
When the protestors take to the streets, they will be called insurrectionists and quickly jailed without bail. You can be sure they covertly have the Army on standby before they do it.
The bit which really bothers me is that I am 100% certain that the BBC and the MSM will go along with whatever fake cover story they put out and label anything else as a conspiracy theory.
When you have their kind of power, dissenters who cannot be suppressed will disappear and it won’t be reported.
This was unimaginable to me in the past – but now I see them for what they are.

It takes a special kind of ethic for a news organisation to do that.

I admire what Obama did – I can only imagine the level of collusion and confidentiality involved – especially with the cover up . Everyone must have been ‘hand picked ‘ to do it and remain silent .
I do find it hard to believe that the msm – usually amoral and always after the ‘edge ‘ unified into one uncritical view with no dissent at all …
But then we punters are told we live in a democracy and there are ‘freedoms ‘- even a country with a solid constitution can be subverted using the very State itself …
Ours – of course – as we are about the see – is far easier to subvert – we – after all – have 77 brigade ( morning guys and gals )

Ed Sheeran backed by ex-police detective over ‘lawless London’ claims: ‘It’s never been in a worse state!’
https://www.gbnews.com/news/ed-sheeran-backed-lawless-london-claims-police-detective
The BBC will never go near stories like this, but for me it sums up perfectly the gulf between the Leftists ideology and the real world.
London is basically what happens when the liberal multiculturalist agenda is pushed because of ideological theory. It received everything : special rules for non-whites, no racial profiling for stop-and-search or anything else despite statisical evidence of who is committing the crimes and we even have special rules for the media not to report anything negative against any minority – whatever they do.
And despite all these ‘special’ advantages to appease them, have these groups said ‘you know what, I like this culture and I think I will change myself to fit in.’ ?.
Nope. They have done EXACTLY what the people they originate from do. They see it as something to be taken advantage of and get even worse. They turn the streets into our own version of various other shitholes around the world.
And what is the response of the Left to this ?. They just label anyone who points it out as ‘racists’ and attempt to suppress their opinions. Aka fascism.
This principle of ideology-over-reality is why they destroy everything they try to change. It’s even worse over in the USA now.
GBNews are a bit naughty in that article with a line more worthy of the BBC:
‘Detective Peter Bleksley admitted that although Sheeran is right in his claims, he joked that it “makes him sick to his stomach” to be siding with the pop star.’
What he actually said is:
“It sickens me to the very pit of my stomach to say that Ed Sheeran is right.”
Not the same at all GB News.
I’ve noticed a few times that GB News depends 100% on the character of it’s presenters to keep flying the flag. I get the very distinct impression that many of those behind the scenes are from the mainstream media and are just working there because they need a job – but are lefties at heart.

‘I am not a church boy’: RFK Jr responds to sex assault allegation

An allegation suddenly coming up from THIRTY years ago.
Good God. Is there no lower limit to how dirty the Left – with full support of the BBC – are prepared to go to discredit their opponents ?.
Once again they repeat claims by somebody else without any other evidence whatsoever. This time it is ‘Vanity Fair’ magazine whose webiste has two main headlines : One about Trump asking ‘How do we avert disaster’ and another trashing Kennedy.
It’s gutter press of the highest level and the BBC see fit to use their own multi-billion resources (paid for through taxing the public) to give it a bigger audience.
This must be the dirtiest political campaign by the Democrats in human history. The Nazis truly are back : they have no ethics whatsoever.

Ex-officials say Gaza policy has put US at risk
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c725wxky293o
‘The policies have further destabilised the region and “put a target on America’s back”, they say in a joint statement.’
‘The former officials accuse the US government of clinging to a “failed policy” that has not only been devastating for the Palestinian people but has endangered Israelis, stifled free speech and undermined US credibility over its commitment to a rules-based international order.’
Amazing how the opinion of just a few gets to be the main story if it’s in line with the far-left BBC agenda.
What the BBC are ACTUALLY doing here – and have basically been saying all along – is saying that the kind of barbaric terrorism by Hamas is an acceptable way to get what you want and the USA are wrong to react like this in the fight to eradicate them.
There is no counter-argument that terrorism must be fought with zero tolerance to show others what happens if you do it.
It’s an absolutely appalling article.
I wonder if ‘Tom Bateman’ who wrote it thought of it himself or was instructed to come up with the article by the BBC commissars in charge.

Giant anti-government protest rally grips Tel Aviv
https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c722pyj1zm1o
BBC: ‘Tens of thousands of Israelis have protested in Tel Aviv demanding a Gaza ceasefire deal and the return of hostages held by Hamas.’
Times Of Israel: ‘Tens of thousands of Israelis in dozens of locals participated in anti-government protests on Saturday night, demanding new elections and the return of hostages held in Gaza.’
Arab news: ‘Tens of thousands of protesters waving Israeli flags and chanting slogans against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government rallied in Tel Aviv Saturday, demanding new elections and the return of hostages held in Gaza.’
Reading around, it’s clear the prime reason for these protests is to try and force an election. Not demand a ceasefire. Oh dear BBC. Seems like you have made a slight edit in favour of the house again. Nobody else mentions they demand a ceasefire deal : did you just add it yourself ?.

I know it’s been previously reported but I can’t get out of my mind the wonderful thought that if the 200,000 Glastonbury crowd were so keen to hear a speaker talk about mass open door immigration, then why did the organisers need to build miles of 10 feet high metal barriers around the festival site to keep out people who had no right to be there?

As well as the Super Fortress Fence, we also supply the festival with almost 20km of temporary roadways, 14km of additional fencing, eight bridges, crowd control barriers and pedestrian walkways. This vital equipment ensures the organisers, contractors, security and festival goers can move around the site safely.

So, it’s the last day of campaigning and I’m sitting here with my morning cuppa, wondering just what half-witted shenanigans Ed Davey is going to get up to. What else can this idiot possibly do?
He’s fallen off surfboards, toppled out of canoes, his podgy carcass has plopped down a water chute and done a bungee jump…and now, on the last day, his piece de resistance…
Mr Ed has done everything he possibly can to avoid any awkward questions about his involvement in the appalling post office scandal…and the useless bloody media, to their shame have, by and large, allowed him to get away with it.
This useless lump will lead a parliamentary party with perhaps 50 plus seats. He’s faced little to no scrutiny. “Oh, it’s the cuddly Lib-Dems… they’re harmless.”
While Reform have been harassed and hounded, Nigel Farage milk-shaked and had rocks lobbed at him, their canvassers covertly filmed by sleazy “journalists”, Mr Ed and his henchmen have been given a free ride.
Where is the scrutiny? Where are the tough questions? “Ooh, look it’s Ed. He’s trying to ride a unicycle while juggling. What a card.”
Actually, I’d give dodgy Ed a free ride
A very long one off a short pier…

They are still campaigning against the Tories. And getting a free ride. But the Tories are already toast, so what’s the game? Cosying up to Labour? Will Labour want to be cosied up to? Plotting to rejoin the saintly EU with SirKeer? Setting up a cosy deal for proportional representation? Do they agree with HS2? Apparently. Yet they won a bi-election in Bucks campaigning against it!
A worse bunch of incoherent chancers it is hard to imagine. Yet Tory voters apparently are going to vote Lib Dem? FFS. So why are the useless Tories not campaigning against them? A complete s***fest.

There are two approaches to politics:
The ‘Divine Right of Kings’, Top down, Expert led vision where the politicians have a conviction and ‘persuade’ the electorate to alter their thinking to match the political ideal. Favoured in the continental, marxist and WEF worlds. The people live by the permission of their superiors. Promoted by current Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem and Green parties alike. Democrats in the US.
The ‘Wisdom of crowds’, populist or Darwinian system where a consensus is divined from the public and the political group who most closely matches this gains the most support. Favoured in the Anglo Saxon and Nordic traditions. The politicians have power by the consent of the people. Reform, SDP and other minor parties in the UK, Republicans in the US.
Reform isn’t doing well because it has persuaded people to follow their vision. It is popular because they have, by luck, common sense or research presented a vision reflecting what people want.

The unceasing anti Tory BBC tirade continued last night with a lament for the NHS. Of course, covid lockdowns and endless Doctors’ strikes and 650,000 population increase through mass immigration have had no effect whatever on waiting list times.
The whinge was for the inability to get to see a GP. Well, we can all understand that. The featured whinger was a grossly obese woman. The article then shifted to a GP. Who was also a grossly obese woman.
Was this a sort of black joke from the BBC? Are the editorial team clever enough? The obvious unspoken takeaway message was that people should be taking some level of personal responsibility for their health. But that concept is usually anathema to the collectivist BBC because it’s all the fault of the evil Tories, right?
Talk about confusing messaging.

TOADY Watch #1 – have the BBC helped to undermine the Labour Party ‘SuperMajority’?
The BBC love an opportunity to attack the Conservative Party. Rishi Sunak appeared to have handed the BBC and its Leftist-leaning comrades another opportunity to go on the offensive against the Tories. Rishi Sunak, no doubt speaking from over two years experience of being Prime Minister said you cannot always go off duty at 6 p.m. on a Friday night as the sucker in charge of the Labour Party said as recently as yesterday.
The revelation that Sir Keir Starmer’s wife is Jewish might just cost Labour lots of pro-Palestinian youth votes and also the votes of Islamic Labour voters. Oooops! If that is not bad enough, the question in many Jewish minds as in mine will be “Is Sir Keir’s wife, Victoria, an observant Jewess” in that does she hold to the full tenets of the Jewish faith? Apparently not but I only have Wiki to inform me there. That may cost Labour more votes because not only the pro-Palestinian voters will be less inclined to vote for the Labour Party but many fully observant Jews including the Orthodox Jewish voters may be less inclined to vote for Labour now.
I hope the BBC keep up this line of attack for all of this day’s news broadcasts.

It’s been obvious from the start that the cost of owning an electric vehicle would be increased through tax etc to match what it costs to run a ICE car.
They know what people will accept to pay for having a car so they will raise the price accordingly.
They did it with petrol : the price went up and up until protests started. Then it came down just a bit and has always stayed within that ballpark whatever the cost of oil.

How do they report Boris Johnsons speech ? – in this outrageous ‘live update’ feed which basically 100% Labour proaganda !.
‘Starmer dismisses Boris Johnson’s surprise speech’
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c7204p2r0dkt
‘Sir Keir Starmer says he’s “not worried in the slightest” by Boris Johnson’s intervention last night.’
‘He described Johnson as “Exhibit A” of the argument that Labour has been making, that the Tories are chaotic and divided.’
And the place I got it from is just repeating what they already reported further down the article. They are just keeping it up at the top.
Other ‘headlines’ are:
‘It is not normal for a politician to concede defeat’
(Some Tory said that Labour would win and the BBC have suddenly given him his 15 minutes of fame)
‘Labour tout their wares on branded Welsh cakes’
A feel good piece promoting Labour.
‘Starmer says voters still need convincing despite buoyant mood’
”Turn the page and start to rebuild with Labour’ – Starmer’
‘Starmer says Labour government would make a difference in Wales’
With a lovely picture of lovely Starmer smiling and happy.
‘Gordon Brown attacks Reform UK ahead of polling day’
Jesus H Christ – do the BBC not know how little respect Brown has ?.
”Change will only come if people vote for it’ – McFadden’
Pro-Labour soapbox again.
‘It’s not standard practice to concede defeat on election eve’
The same story as above : for some reason the BBC are running this again and again.
”We need to hold Labour to account after 14 damaging Conservative years”
I stopped there. It goes on and on. This is their last chance : they can’t report anything tomorrow.
It’s outrageous abuse of power and pure election interference by the BBC.

BBC plus other media are on the attack: “‘I am not a church boy’: RFK Jr responds to sex assault allegation”.
The charges are: 1) he once groped a babysitter and 2) joked with a friend about eating dog in Korea (a pic of him eating a BBQ’d carcass has emerged, which he says was actually goat in South America). The Vanity Fair hack who interviewed him said the photo showed RFK was “simultaneously mocking Korean culture, reveling in animal cruelty, and needlessly risking his reputation and that of his family”.
That’s the best they can do. A mountain of dodgy evidence on Biden including taking showers with his own daughter, but this is what outrages the liberal media.
