Start the Week 15th July 2024

The 14th of July saw the attempted murder of President Trump after an onslaught of hate by the mass media – including the BBC. There might have been one shooter – but a lot of ‘journalists’ had their finger on the trigger . Nothing will change – the BBC will be unable to see its’ culpability . And a lot of the Far Left will be wishing President Trump had been killed .

    MORE LAWS – AND NO INTENTION OF IMPLEMENTING THE CURRENT LAWS!

    “Spiking is already a crime, covered by other pieces of legislation including the 1861 Offences against the Person Act.

    But Labour’s manifesto, alongside the Conservatives’, said creating a new, specific offence would help police better respond to incidents.”

    There’s one aspect of the attempted assassination against Trump that the BBC won’t touch with a barge pole.

    It’s that, for some time, the US Secret Service has been basing its recruitment policy on DEI considerations, rather than ability and merit.

    The head is a girlie called Kimberly Cheatle and, like our own Met, it’s full of wokesters from top to bottom.

    And, in the immortal words of Orange Man himself: “Everything woke turns to shit”.

    Indeed it does, Mr President, indeed it does.

    Well, move aside Nigel, we present:

    The racist Office for National Statistics……

    “The Office for National Statistics has today, Monday July 15, revealed that the number of people living in England and Wales shot up by 610,000 to 60.9 million between summer 2022 and summer 2023, the largest increase since 1948, 75 years ago, which was driven by a post-war baby boom at the time.

    Immigration to blame as population sees largest rise in 75 years

    The ONS put the the growth largely down to record levels of net migration – 622,000 for the year to June 2023.

    And immigration far outstripped the birth rate in the domestic population, down by 21,900 to 598,400 new births, while new deaths increased by 24,000 to 598,000.”

      Now, I don’t mind the BBC hiring according to DEI for their Mickey Mouse jobs but for real jobs, where lives are at stake – not so much.

    A little story about our NHS heroes.
    At the village fete on Saturday there was a tent which was a sort of health and well-being joint enterprise by the NHS and the local council. Well, OK.
    A man out front was trying to attract customers. Height, weight ( thus BMI), blood pressure, advice, and…cholesterol check.

    Aha, I thought. Been on Statins for a few years so be interested to know if my cholesterol level is under control.

    Alas. As someone already on medication, I was ineligible for the test.

    In other words this was not about health. It was about box-ticking, getting paid overtime, and getting in some minimum number of punters to make the initiative look sound. If it really been about health, then after several minutes of persuading me to take part, they would have shown they had my best interests at heart and given me a test.

    A damning insight into our nationalised health service.

    Trump classified documents case dismissed by Florida judge
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz5rpdrxevro

    Only thing of interest here by the BBC was this line:
    ‘The Trump-appointed Florida judge had recently indefinitely postponed the federal classified documents trial, saying there were significant questions over trial evidence.’

    Never any suggestion that all of these dozens and dozens of charges might be politically motivated and never any mention of who appointed the Judge if it were Biden or Obama.

    This is why I detest these leftist activists so much. They have infested the BBC because of the reach it gives them at public expense. Go join the Guardian where they have to survive on merit and whether people are prepared to pay them for it. I’m sure they visit the site regularly and just scroll past all the begging letters.

    Video of the assasin on the roof.

    If it suited the BBC’s agenda and they wanted to keep the story current, this would be a front-page, main story video inside a constantly updated ‘Live Update’ feed to keep it current. Instead they have this:

    https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c3g6k02k960o
    ‘This video has been removed for rights reasons.’

    It’s not even reported on any of the main topic pages. They have instantly buried it.

    They have more or less dropped the assasination attempt story completely. All those stories are now small subpanes.

    This is exactly how they demonstrate their bias.

    ‘His short, but forceful, address largely went off without a hitch, amid ongoing scrutiny following a number of high-profile verbal slips.’

    Just watch the video : Joe is focussed intently on the autocue and still manages to slur much of it. Perhaps that was worth a mention BBC.

    I can tell the BBC are in a muddle about Joe now. They want him to be replaced, but they are trying not to damage him too much just in case he does indeed stay in office.

    The one thing I am certain of is that their only motivation is to stop Trump. They would be very happy if Joe was assasinated. It would be fever pitch, front-page for at least a week and guarantee victory. They would make all Republicans into the devil himself. It would be the polar opposite of how they are reporting this attempt on Trump which has basically already been dropped and they are trying to divert attention to the convention.

    That would be a UN run school there BBC and you should have it in the headline because it’s extremely relevant to the story.

    And later in the article they play their usual trick of quoting someone else when they know 100% it;s a complete lie:

    Another resident said his family had been living at the school for six months because UN facilities were supposed to be safe.
    “There are no armed men and no reason to strike schools this way,” he added. “The dead and injured people are mainly women and children staying at this school.”
    Yet another Gazan who speaks very good Englsih and just happens to say exactly what the BBC want him to say for their agenda.
    I am 100% certain the BBC have written this ‘quote’ themselves. Probably very heavily edited from something more vague.
    I am also 100% certain that UN school has Hamas terrorists in it. And I’m also certain the BBC know it too.

    “even just after 48 hours you couldn’t wait, with your lies”

    Donald Trump Jr. spars with MSNBC reporter on convention floor: ‘I expect nothing less from you clowns’

    Donald Trump Jr. told an MSNBC reporter to “get out of here” during a tense on-air exchange at the Republican National Convention Monday after he was asked about the former president’s immigration policies.

    Trump Jr. and his brother Eric were approached for an interview by MSNBC’s Jacob Soboroff on the floor of the RNC convention in Milwaukee, Wisc., where their father, former President Trump, officially became the GOP nominee just two days after surviving an assassination attempt.

    Trump Jr., touted his father’s accomplishments during his four years in office before rejecting Soboroffs’ question about former President Trump being “a divisive figure.” Trump Jr. blamed the media for creating “divisiveness” around him.

    “They lied about Russia, Russia collusion, they said he was a traitor, they went after him in every which way possible,” Trump Jr. said. “If the media actually starts being an honest broker, talking about the things that he did, the prosperity he brought, the peace deals that he signed around the world rather than the disaster that we’re living right now, I think you’d do everyone in the country a big favor.”

    “It’s also worth reflecting that Americans’ view of the role of violence in their society has subtly changed. Traditionally, Americans viewed it as freedom’s collateral damage. When it comes to gun control, debate has centred on the question of whether liberty is worth the inevitable price in blood. Now, amid endless drug warfare and uncontrolled immigration, many conservatives have concluded that the whole liberal system is founded on depravity. That in a society lacking in tough laws or moral strictures, violence has become an end in itself.

    And Britain shares much in common with America. If anything, our economic decline is even more urgent because we are unable to spend well beyond our means to bankroll public services and defence. Frustration at the technocratic elite’s complacent attitude to chaos – from its inability to police the border to its “regretful” early release of drug dealers, burglars and muggers – is also growing.

    Like it or not, we are entering the era of “gangster conservatism”, defined by charismatic “change” leaders that are unapologetic about upsetting elites and breaking the rules. Sceptics can try to refine, guide and soften the impact, but they should not delude themselves. The world has changed. Trumpism may prove an unstoppable force.”

    Biden defends calling Trump a threat to democracy
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd1rzde0n4do

    Is there anything in this world which is more blatant, rank hypocrisy than Biden saying they are doing everything in their power to stop Trump standing in a free and fair election because they ‘want to protect democracy’ ?.

    And is there any greater example of disgusting double-standards than him not being charged with some kind of treason and incitement to murder by saying “time to put Trump in a bullseye” ?.

    It’s 100 times more clear than what Trump said on Jan 06. Where are these pathetic media activists demanding justice now ?.

    And will Marianna be bringing us tales of the internet scum who are celebrating this heinous act by the Democrats on social media ?. The ones saying it’s a shame the shooter missed.

    Of course she won’t. Because she is part of that same slime from the swamp. We’ll get to see what they are really like if Trump wins – both on social media and on the streets. Violent, nasty scum.

    And no surprise whatsoever to see what who wrote it looks like:

    “Insider reveals how Secret Service ‘really screwed up’ BEFORE Trump assassination bid and role women DEI hires played to put lives at risk.

    ‘It’s possible to have a tough female out there who doing her job, just like you have males out there who may not be capable of doing their jobs. It’s just that, during this particular event, there were questionable actions on the part of some agents, including some females agents, that raises one’s eyebrows.’

    He spoke of a roughly 5ft 5in female agent correctly ‘using her body to protect’ Trump from any further gunfire — but was just too short to be able to stop bullets hitting someone as tall as the former president.

    ‘It looked more like that he was protecting her than she was protecting him,’ said Gray.

    He also referred to widely-shared footage of a female agent as she struggled to holster her weapon after Trump had been bundled into a black vehicle.

    ‘It certainly was something that raised my eyebrows,’ said Gray, now an academic at the University of New Haven.

    ‘I am a former firearms instructor … and that shows to me that person lacked the skills to be out there at that time.'”

      The public hearing – which is not likely to be until next Tuesday !? Will cover up the failings . I reckon presidents trumps allies will be asked to ‘go easy ‘ on the Secret Service – which might well do a better job aiding and abetting the next murder attempt
      The Obama federal establishment will be doing anything to stop President Trump getting into the White House .
      If he does – which I doubt – the Obama democrats will continue to try and kill him as well as challenge the legitimacy of the vote .

      They will continue back to back law fare – with only the Supreme Court protecting mr trumps ‘ back – the rest of the judicial system is largely subverted …. As is happening here …

        “Important Note: Many fire and rescue services have changed the physical tests over the past few years and there now appears to be no set standard. Although at the time of writing this article, many have returned to the original tests as detailed above. Its also worthy to note that many fire and rescue services now carry out “Taster Days” which allow you to go along and have a go at some of the above tests.

      I don’t think the female agent was struggling to holster her pistol. It looks like she was using something called an “inside the waistband” holster. In trying to draw her pistol, she pulled the holster out with the gun in it. She was then trying to put the gun, in the holster, back inside the waistband of her trousers, before seeming to give up.

    Business as usual from the Uniparty: Starmer shelves legal restrictions on foreign workers… amid the biggest rise in the population for at least 75 years (Telegraph)

    Chinese-style therapeutic state technocracy, with a snobbish British paternalist twist: Labour’s new health advisor… [Paul] Corrigan, a verteran of the Blair government who has described himself as a Marxist, also said that Sir Keir Starmer should force every Whitehall department to take account of whether their policies make people healthier to stop a tidal wave of illness that would otherwise “overwhelm” the NHS (Telegraph)

    Gosh, now where have we heard that threat of an “overwhelmed” NHS deployed once before to justify all manner of nonsensical state dictats against our freedoms?

    Does the ever-excitable Daily Mail perhaps give us a clue as to the justification for our next medicalised clamp down: Now doctors told to lecture us on climate change… The Royal College of Physicians yesterday issued… ‘green toolkit’… tells doctors to use their status as ‘trusted members of the community’ to raise the topic in consultations and ‘repeat it often’

    In some positive psychological news, our previously afflicted Labour PM appears to be getting over his Trump Derangement Syndrome: Keir Starmer overruled his advisors… following assassination attempt… Personal call was new Prime Minister’s idea… British Ambassador is tasked with building links between Trump team and Labour Government (‘i’)

    It’s a pity the left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper just can’t seem to shake off its own over long lingering bout of hypochondriacal coronaphobia: Fears of covid spike after fall in jabs (‘i’)

    Alternatively to another medicalised threat, has the formerly peace-loving lefty Guardian pinpointed the next puffed-up emergency set to be unleashed upon us: UK faces defence threat from ‘deadly quartet’

    That’ll be Russia, China, Iran and North Korea

    You have to smile: George Robertson, a former Nato secretary general, said the UK had to be prepared to take on all four if necessary (Guardian) – one refers to that old playground taunt ‘you and who’s army?’

    Calm down dear

    Charli’s angels Why women are proud to be ‘brats’ this summer (Guardian)

    The mildly conservative Telegraph carries a rather more staid lifestyle fashion feature: Cardigans vs blazers

    Meanwhile, the tentative old Torygraph refers obliquely to the love that once upon a time dared not speak its name: Suitcase killing suspect lived with victims

    The inimitably fanciable Chrissie Hynde of rock band The Pretenders once warned us

    It’s a thin line between love and hate

    Our achingly right-on compliant BBC and police jointly and in collaboration beclown themselves with the wording of this report on the case: Evidence in the investigation so far has not pointed to a homophobic motive, the Met Police said, but it had been classified as a hate crime under national guidelines… “Officers have worked with the pan-London LGBTQ+ Independent Advisory Group (IAG) since the identity of the two victims and their sexuality was established. (BBC)

      Asiseeit – what ? Another defence review ? I wonder what was wrong with the last one ?

      As a civvy – I have to be careful writing about things military because certain readers take umbridge …. But I believe in saving taxpayers cash and don’t believe the UK has a place in the world now – and should look after itself first . So no ‘projecting power ‘ no getting involved in other peoples ‘ wars –

      No sending British boys to die for nothing – afgee –

      But no doubt the review will concentrate on diversity and green crap ..whilst the real threat to the UK is growing within …..

      What say you 77 brigade – or are you so lost as to think free thinkers on this site are a threat ?

    Our Marxist State Broadcaster, tongue in cheek, declared that, on appeal, the court has thrown out the charges against our hero for the documents he rightly and legally stored in Mar-a-Lago.

    Remember all the troops with guns? What a joke Biden and his rotten, corrupt, mob of gangsters is.

    Well, it seems that right thinking people, everywhere, are slowly rising above the Communist/Marxist threats to the Western World.

    After the BBC’s update on the Treason charges, they resumed their mantra about Biden’s poor state of mental health. As I pointed out yesterday, it is such a newsworthy item that the BBC cannot avoid it or file it away dishonestly in, “Regions”. Being the Marxists the BBC is, they automatically refer to Biden’s personal denials. That’s despite most if not all the US media accepting Bidens state of health.

    Will the BBC end its Marxist cover “with a bang”. Simply collapsing sometime overnight? I don’t think so, they are so devoted to the Far, far Left Marxist/Communist doctrine that the punishment they will receive over the years is currently like, ‘water of a ducks back’ but it is certainly eroding them. Long may that continue until the end.

      I thought it could not be possible that such an outrageous security error could a deliberate act by the secret service. It is just unthinkable.

      Then I learnt that building was supposed to be watched by state police. And the governor is an extremely fake looking Democrat who I would not trust one inch.

      That then opens up a whole new set of questions. All of which are not going to be asked. It was with some difficulty that I found out who IS the chief of police and it’s Christopher Paris who was indeed appointed by said governor just over a year ago.

      You’re overcomplicating it Fed.

      The lesson is: if you don’t want the Left to hate you so much they try to murder you, don’t disagree with them.

      Hence it’s Trumps own fault.

      We should have learned the lesson by now. Ideology allows you to murder and believe you are doing the right thing.

    2. Biden stored classified documents next to a dog bed

    3. Biden thought Obama was making a major mistake with Afghanistan surge

    4. Contrast drawn with evasive Trump

    5. It was reasonable for Biden to keep some classified diaries

    The report found that the president’s memory “appeared to have significant limitations”.

    Rayner’s “Devolution Revolution”, what will it mean?
    More money and power to the corrupt Socialist Metropolitan areas and their Mayors. I haven’t seen the proposals but wouldn’t be surprised if the Metropolitan areas are expanded to cover regions. eg Greater Londonistan becomes Greater Greater Londonistan to incorporate Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex etc. Greater Manchester to incorporate Cheshire and Lancashire, you get the idea. It will give the existing Metropolitan areas access to more money, road charging opportunities and building land. With the Metropolitan areas becoming radicalised Islamic mini states it will help spread the message.

      2021 ….

      Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),

      As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.

      Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.

      ‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

      CAS-4987700-SY1FTF : BBC NewsWatch says boredom with pro-Brexit march.

      CAS-4844672-N8FDYY: Update on the MP Expenses 2009 scandal in 2018.

      CAS-4939547-J71Z1V: Here’s hoping Ireland do the right thing G.Lineker.

      CAS-4937378-YKMWBJ: BBC not reporting ‘Day of Freedom’ March 06may2018.

      CAS-4906141-BFJQL0: I take offence that presenters promote their books.

      CAS-4892811-C820SC: I am offended that I have to pay the BBC TV Tax.

      CAS-4824332-633N1P: What happened in Italy was not covered …

      CAS-4933135-ZV3V7F: The omission is the most powerful form of lie …

      CAS-6005141-S1V9D1: Not seen a report on the UK Governments Covid19 

      Let me know how to go about resolving the issue of paying for something that wastes my time as I have to check each story rather than rely on its accuracy.

      Cheers,
      Mark
