    TOADY Watch #1 – it looks like Reform have got away with it for the time being

    From Friday. TOADY just carried news of the family of the man who had his head stamped on by a PC at Manchester Airport calling for calm and for an end to demonstrations in the area. No mention of Lee Anderson’s shooting his mouth off. No mention of Lee Anderson’s sacking as Chief Whip of the Reform Party at Westminster.

    Farage appears to be not thinking strategically and appears weak.

    It could cost the Reform Party a lot of votes at the next General Election.

      This is psyops 101. Anyone associated with Reform can now be tarred with the same brush as the dimwit Anderson. The point is I attended marches in London and Manchester during the Covaids period where we witnessed similar attacks on innocent people. You didn’t see it on the BBC of course. The police are a disgrace and not on the side of the civilian population. The fact that pos Anderson can justify kicking someone in the head while they are defenceless should start waking people up to what Reform is all about. Controlled opposition.

        Innocent who? I thought three officers had been assaulted at the airport, including a female PC who suffered a broken nose.

          Observing from afar, the timeline being outside the remit of the journalistic community is no surprise.

            In Re the Manchester Airport policeman .

            If I’m attacked in a pub by someone dangerous and he slips and falls on the floor , I’m going to want him to stay down there .
            No niceties, no fair play, no rules , I’d drop a paving slab or big fire extinguisher on his head . I’d be worrying about the legal comebacks later .

            It would be an ugly scene .

                But if he does get up, particularly if he isn’t British, he might not say , ‘ Thanks old chap for not kicking the shit out of me when I was down just now. Can I buy you a drink and chat through our differences’ ?
                He might , and most third worlders do, think , ‘This chap is weak and I going to give him a good doing’ .

      Lee Anderson was saying what millions think. The conventional niceties of British society can’t cope with millions of third worlders who don’t want to share our cultural norms. They regard restraint as weakness.
      If we continue to treat them as we would expect Brits to be treated they will overwhelm us . Fire must be fought with fire.
      Of course there is zero chance of our idiotic authorities ever doing that and we will continue on our path to becoming a TWSH , third world shit hole.

        Double, sure but how does that help Reform win voters to their cause? Anderson shot his mouth off, possibly before he knew all the facts and could have expressed himself much better – after all, he is one of a handful of Reform MPs and is therefore something of a showcase for the Reform Party.

        It has impacted Nigel Farage now, because he as Leader appears to be weak and is obviously not thinking strategically and has no control over his MPs.

          A party which thinks like you do, says what it thinks and supports policies that you agree with , will attract your vote. If millions in the country feel threatened by mass immigration and the imposition of third world culture and behaviours on our society , then they will vote for a party which makes it very clear , in words of one syllable, that they will do what it takes to put Britain and its people first.

          Reform isn’t going to win votes by caving in to Muslim & Left wing aggression. The Conservatives fell apart by doing that.

          Putting Mr Anderson on the naughty step was a mistake IMO.
          That is what shows that Reform is weak. They will have to do better than this to keep my vote.

          Muslim aggression has been encouraged. Yet again.

            Lucy, I don’t think I’ll vote Reform but I could if they they offered a good manifesto at the next GE. I think they have lost one other poster’s vote on here by the chaotic organisation of a Reform Party event where our poster, sorry cannot remember name and cannot track down the post, had voted for the local candidate for Reform.

            Reform need good organisational skills, tight discipline over unwise comments and to be very strategic in their thinking. The whole of the Lefty world will be out to attack them and especially if they say one word that is racist or misogynistic. They will have an uphill struggle to survive.

    Great example of a classic biased BBC tactic on Toady today. – a leftie masquerading as an ‘independent expert’.

    One of the BBC favourites, Paul Johnson, director of the IFS, was talking about taxation.

    He kept using this phrase in terms , ‘there is a case to increase taxes on ( insert area, thus inheritance, pensions, capital)
    But he never once said ‘ there is case to LOWER taxes on ( Insert area).

    In other words, a clear apologist for big government and high taxes if ever there was one. Treated with reverential kid gloves by the biased, collectivist, statist, Far Left BBC.

    Depicting a headless Marie Antoinette was tasteless and gruesome. But the drag queen parody of the Last Supper was deliberately provocative, unnecessarily insulting. and irrelevant to sport. Mon dieu, it’s agenda, agenda, agenda all the time in every sphere of life with these mentally ill perverts and their woke promoters in the media.

      I mentioned yesterday Zelazek, this is all more than just left-wing activists : it is a deliberate effort by the Left to force division in society. They want people who are disgusted by it to stand up and say so – so the Left can call them racists/homphobics/misogynysts/Islamophobes or whatever and stoke up all the other left-inclined idiots (especially the naiive youngsters under 20) into hating the Right.

      I suspect they have a vague end-game where the Right are banished by a left-wing revolution and socialism will reign supreme and the world will be a loving place.

      Except of course history shows us quite the opposite. If they do get power but the people they hate will not disappear, that’s when they decide that they must help them disappear. Eventually the whole thing collapses in a heap of hate, fear and blood.

      And we begin the loop again. After a couple of generations – when it’s all forgotten – they start again. Like they have now. And we are not all that far away from another civil war. Where will it buckaroo first ? – the USA if Trump wins ?. In the EU ?.

      I won’t happen here in the UK. We now basically live under a new style of Fascism enabled by social media and the internet and spearheaded by the BBC. What they have done to the Tory party is evidence of that. The tipping point was when they got away with removing a PM – who won the election by a landslide – over something utterly trivial.

        Z, the Pope before the last 2 – Pope John Paul (the Polish one) declared France and Belgium to be a mission field for the RC church, in other words, he considered both countries to be well on the way to atheism. France has legislated that they are a secular nation and are proud of the fact!

        Northern Europe has an incredible history of Christianity leading to all sorts of improvements in science, engineering and prosperity together with the spread of the Christian Good News aound the world but now we see all that being thrown away.

        Nick Robinson is emitting CO2 again this morning and brodacsting on TOADY from Ipswich. There are residents and farmers protesting about the pylons that will be needed to connect the offshore wind farms to the National Grid. Nick interviewed a spokesman for the National Grid who mentioned 2030 a lot.

        I expect a World Government to be put in place in 2030 and it will not have a Conservative hue, rather the opposite. The ‘Olivet Discourse’ in the Bible is interesting: it is contained in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. Some of the prophecies were fulfilled almost immediately (ie.AD 70), some not so quickly and others are yet to be fulfilled.

          Up2snuff,

          You touch upon the fundamental problem at the root of all our troubles: Our loss of belief.

          I see it as a larger problem than just the indigenous European population turning away from the Christian religion. We seem to have lost confidence in Western Christian culture generally. Logic and scientific reasoning do not reign as they once did. When an academic can claim that e=mc² is a sexist equation, then the degeneracy is all too apparent.

          I keenly feel the problem personally. I regret to say that I have lost my Christian faith. In the Olivet Discourse, to which you refer, Jesus clearly expects all his prophecies to come to pass within the lifetime of his listeners (“this generation”). Some have obviously not, and the fact that some did come true, especially regarding the destruction of the temple in 70CE, suggests that the Gospel was written after that event. For that and many other similar reasons, I believe that most of the Bible is a fabrication and that Jesus is a purely literary creation.

          Yet I still have enormous respect for the Western tradition (which goes as far back as Ancient Greece) and which, I agree with you, is responsible for all our art, our science, our civilisation, and even our sense of ourselves. I still love and value our Christian heritage even if I’ve personally lost my religious faith. I hate to see it mocked by degenerates as it was in that awful ceremony.

          But there is a gap in our culture now. What is going to fill the vacuum once filled by Christianity? I don’t know. I hope it isn’t Islam. I don’t think there will ever be a revival of Christianity in Europe. I fear we will just descend into even greater decadence and eventual civilisational collapse.

          So I am now conscious of something important missing both in myself and in my culture. We need some new kind of faith in ourselves. Perhaps one based on reason and pride in our past. Because one thing I do know is that individuals and cultures only thrive when they have self-confidence.

            The Muslims have the discipline of their medieval false creed which puts them at an advantage – part of which is to destroy the non believers of course….

            Zelazek,

            In our day we have come to use the word ‘generation’ in a very narrow sense. People grouped in relation to time only. Not that we use ‘generation’ incorrectly but the word had more than one meaning in the Greek of Jesus’ day.

            We are all aware that usage and definitions change over time because we can see that in our own experience. Some meaning can be lost in translation from one language to another and 2000 years is a long time.

            In Jesus’ day, ‘Generation’ – was used for group of people but not always a group of people existing together at one time. Words can have 2 meanings but in this case we have dropped one.

            A ‘generation’ could mean – all the people of say, a century or one physical lifetime. (as we use it)
            A generation could also mean, one’s progeny, all the offspring descended from one man or one family.

            Here is the Greek word used by Jesus in Matthew 24 –
            γενεά (genea)

            The Greek lexicon definition;
            birth; hence, progeny; a generation of mankind, a generation, a step in a genealogy, a generation, an interval of time, an age; in NT- course of life, in respect of its events, interests, or character.

            Please don’t give up. Jesus spoke several times about his return, don’t throw in the towel over one verse.

            Sorry for going on a bit. (Not BBC!)
            I think I can dig up a link for a deeper study on the ‘generation’ if you would like it.

    We may not see Michael Johnson or even Rebecca
    Adlington being pundits on the BBC’S coverage of
    the Olympics again. At least Sir Chris Hoy didn’t have to
    sit through the over four hour bore fest.
    By the end of the ceremony both Johnson and Adlington
    could only just about control their feelings about what they just
    had to endure .
    If you turned on at around 22.20 after nearly 4 hours to
    hear Celine Dion sing and then see the lighting of the balloon.
    It would of given you some satisfaction. The only other
    salvation being if you fell asleep at 18.00 and woke up at 22.20.
    It wasn’t a question of “Singing in the rain.” More like being
    bored to tears in the rain. Anyway as Michael Johnson

      Probably the folk who won the lottery were those
      whose trains were cancelled due to the arson. And
      were fortunate not to get to the opening ceremony. From
      which they probably would of finished up with pneumonia.
      Also I didn’t see anybody on the Chinese boat taking enhancing

      fallen into a deep sleep by the time theit boat went by.

    When and why did the BBC become firm advocates of scrapping the two-child- only child benefit policy?
    They are trawling around looking for families with lots of children, often single mothers and living on other benefits. They were at it again today, applauding the SNP in Scotland where there is a special payment available from the third child onwards.

    The tone of voice and carefully selected examples of hardship leave the viewer in no doubt as to the bias of the Far Left BBC.

      The MAJOR beneficiaries of this are of course Muslims who breed like rabbits once they get here.

      ‘The share of families with three or more children varies from 14% in White British families to 41% in Pakistani families and 38% in Bangladeshi families.’
      https://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/news/childrens-commissioner-for-england-launches-preliminary-findings-of-the-family-review-at-policy-exchange/

      Imagine how many that will be if they realise they wil get paid for it. The displacement will accelerate rapidly.

      Perhaps a graph of how soon the Muslim population might reach critical mass (eg to have >50% of councils controlled by Muslims) would be in order by some academic to show the difference between having the cap and not having it.

      You won’t see that on the BBC or in any of the arguments of course.

      This is all about degrading and demoralising the working population. The bBC promote policies that impoverish working parents such that they cannot afford children, whilst spaffing welfare at idle non-working parents so they can afford more children.

      Once demoralisation and apathy have been achieved then the great reset can come in to ‘save the day’.

      What happened to the radar dish on top of the ‘detector vans’ ?.
      That statement alone is a complete lie. They can’t detect anything. There was once a rumour they could detect a CRT screen working but no chance with modern flatscreens.

      Plus they have no power to enter your home. So they can’t do anything except intimidate people. Especially old people living on their own.

      The BBC calling these ‘detector vans’ is a lie intended to be used with records of who doesn’t have a license to intimidate people on their doorstep. Why are they allowed to do it ?.

      People should be told to not even answer the door to these people. Not a chance on Earth they will ever get the search warrant they need to come in.

    I have to laugh at the blatant desperation by the MSM to cover up of who is behind the arson attacks in France.

    The BBC are desperately trying to infer it’s Russia but from everything I’ve seen around the net, the far-Left seem most likely followed by the Muslims.

    How dreadfully inconvenient. From recent experience, just imagine how many times we would have seen ‘far-Right’ in there if the BBC could link it to them.

    ‘Mr Darmanin said this month that 3,570 people had been barred from the Games, including people seen as security risks as well as “dozens of radical individuals close to Islamist, ultra-left and ultra-right circles”.’

    I wonder what the split is between those groups : 49%,49%,2% ?.

    Of course we don’t get any background information of why the French far-Left might be doing it or what else they have done. Instead it’s the usual BBC trick of focussing on after the event, not before it.

    I have often posted that intellectuals such as Douglas Murray rail against Wokism and the disintegration of western society brought about by thirty years of mass migration but that they are unwilling to support those such as Trump or Le Pen who are determined to actually do something about it.
    Well today I am pleased to say that Douglas has written in the Spectator an article which casts Trump in a positive light as a man of action who will indeed do something about it! No snide comments , no sneering at Trump’s rough edges just the realisation that when you desperately need a tough guy to clear the bandits out of the town you can’t be too choosy who you hire.
    At last the penny has dropped , writing brilliant articles or using logic and facts to make liberal globalists look like foolish children on TV debates , doesn’t , by itself, stop the Woke steam roller from crushing us. You need action and people who have the determination, courage and leadership to mobilise the millions of the silent majority against this madness. The intellectuals contribution is to provide ammunition , arguments and policy, and to cover the sheriff’s back whilst he get on with the job.
    Douglas has finally recognised that for all his faults Trump is the man to clean up the town.

    Once again, Russia is technically banned from appearing at the Olympic Games… Yet once again, Russian athletes will compete under a different name − a handful of them, at least… Russian and Belarusian flags, national anthems and uniforms will be absent from the Paris Games… Though Russia’s previous ban was for its state-sponsored doping efforts, this punishment was levied by the International Olympic Committee following its invasion of Ukraine (USA Today sports) – well, our trade and especially our energy sanctions have seriously backfired on us – so maybe if we threaten to take away our bat and ball until they promise to play nice?

    But who would want to ruin the plans of hundreds of thousands of French travellers and disrupt the start of the Olympic Games? – frets our BBC

    France has fallen victim in recent years to a wave of deadly jihadist attacks, but none resemble the acts of sabotage inflicted on the rail network. Friday’s incidents caused misery for hundreds of thousands of travellers, but no bloodshed. (BBC) – ooops, might have said a bit too much there… moving quickly on…

    Suspicion will inevitably fall on Russia… Only this week, a Russian was arrested in Paris on suspicion of planning to organise acts of “destabilisation, interference and spying” (BBC) – case closed then?

    Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said… 3,570 people had been barred from the Games, including people seen as security risks as well as “dozens of radical individuals close to Islamist, ultra-left and ultra-right circles” (BBC) – I thought we’d eventually get to a name-check for the ‘far-right’.

    …whoever was behind the sabotage knew exactly where to cause maximum disruption. Russia might not have that kind of reach in rural France (BBC)

    Gosh, pehaps it was the La Résistance… the Maquis?

    The head of state-owned rail company SNCF, Jean-Pierre Farandou, said the saboteurs had focused on intersections that would have caused the most serious impact. (BBC) – I’m surprised the railway chief didn’t blame the ‘wrong type’ of Frenchmen – as in wrong type of leaves, wrong type of snow, etc.

    Oh la la! The formerly serious newspaper of record, now female interest Times: Emily in Paris star Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu at 61… Oh la la! Men are scared of me

    Calm down luv. Calme-toi chérie

    Fun with flags

    Union japes… Flagbearers Helen Glover and Tom Daley lark about on Seine last night (Daily Mirror); … recreate the famous Titanic scene (Telegraph); Lady Gaga performs at the Olympic opening ceremony (FT) – all sounds a bit too gay for me, I’m afraid.

    Meanwhile, BBC favourite the Guardian, takes a day off from the hard job of topping the list of national press frontpages at our nationalised broadcaster’s online news site: Millions of public sector workers set for pay rise… Before the election, Reeves had refused to say whether public sector workers would get a pay rise… The cost of giving pay rises to public sector workers has not been fully budgeted for in current spending plans, but the money will have to be found…

    Britain conned! Massive tax raid on way (Daily Express)

    Let the games begin (Guardian) – indeed.

      Are those public sector pay rises just ways of recirculating money as more get tapped into the 40% band ?

      And – surely – it’s likely to be a disincentive to working longer hours as the income tax bites ?

      And then once the upper rate is hit tax free savings drop from £1000 to £500 … although I suspect isas and tax free savings are liking to take a kicking when reeve looks for money for red projects …

    Imagine…………….

    You are in a large local store early one morning. Cruising with your trolley, which you do, you spot the first black person amongst the floor staff.

    You do your shopping and head for the checkouts of which there are eight in total. One manned only. Joining that queue which is five or so deep and others form behind you. Tannoy: “We are opening till seven, please queue at till seven”. The race starts and I am ahead of about four others. I lay out my goods on the conveyor awaiting the arrival of a checkout assistant. One behind me does the same. Belt full. The black person arrives and heads directly to checkout EIGHT, passing those including me at seven. Alone, she keys her security code into checkout and sits there waiting for custom. The look of amazement behind me is a sight to behold. She glances at the rather long queue at seven and beckons them to reform at till eight………………

    Me, as defacto leader of this pack, (since I am first in queue seven). Says with loud voice, “NO – till seven it is”. She then quits eight and resumes opening up till seven.

    Can I be classed as a racist? (‘tune into next weeks exiting episode’).

    What is is with these black people, instinctively/intuitively going against the obvious ‘grain’.

      Being someone who notices everything – I’ve managed to ‘groom ‘ myself not to be attentive at checkouts . I’ve noticed they bring out the worst in too many people – so I make a conscious effort to use the queue time doing other stuff … for the avoidance of stress caused by so many factors ….

      This came after I observed a tracksuit traitor trash offer to fight an elderly man who must have said something like ‘queue jumper ‘ being 6’4” and at that time pretty fit I sort of intervened…. Trash didn’t want to fight me …. But that was the last time ….

    “And it wasn’t just the performances during the ceremony which saw technical gaffes. As the long line of boats filled with athletes made its way down the Seine, an embarrassing moment saw South Korea labelled North Korea by the announcers”

    “The error sparked displeased reactions in South Korea, a global cultural and technological powerhouse that is technically still at war with the nuclear-armed and impoverished North.

    South Korea’s sports ministry said in a statement it ‘expresses regret’ over the ‘announcement during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, where the South Korean delegation was introduced as the North Korean team’.

    Second vice sports minister Jang Mi-ran, a 2008 Olympic weightlifting champion, has asked for a meeting with IOC chief Thomas Bach to discuss the matter, it added.

    The sports ministry has also asked the foreign ministry to ‘deliver a strong protest to the French side’ over the issue, the statement said.

    South Korea’s National Olympic Committee plans to meet with the Paris Olympics Organising Committee and the IOC to voice their protest, request measures to prevent a recurrence, and send an official letter of protest under the name of the head of its delegation, the sports ministry said.”

      the cowardice of those ostensibly employed to preserve some semblance of public order is just epic.

      If you don’t set a sensible line and defend it robustly – annihilation is the end result with the final result being the survivors eating each other.

      Why no public debate on where the line should be ? – is it cowardice and self interest / incompetence of public employees – do the woke lefties (for it is them , no doubt) think that they will be in charge at the end?

    I was scooting through the bbc website earlier and turned to the “war in Ukraine” page. I’ve recently noticed something about it. There are no articles about the war in Ukraine.

    There is a big feature about the soon-to-be-shot -down F16s, with a nice picture of former president zelensky sitting top-gun style in a cockpit. Talk about not looking the part. If he wanted to look even more ridiculous he should have worn a pride t shirt.

    also :-
    zelensky – “Trump would be hard work”. The Donald won’t even take time to meet you, pal.
    “my 40 minutes with zelensky” – chris mason (Who he?)
    “Hungary stripped of eu meeting”
    “Fined for wearing yellow and blue shoes”

    You would expect the page to mention that Ukraine is losing an estimated 2000 troops a day on the front line; some barely into their teens.

    But no, and the Ukraine page is still pushing those bloody poofs.

    “Paris Olympics: Furious young Aussie says what most wouldn’t dare about opening ceremony stunt that mocked one of the West’s most sacred images.

    A young Australian has hit out at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony, declaring it disrespected 2.4 billion Christians and was a ‘sign the West has fallen’.

    Journalist and entrepreneur Carla Efstratiou took aim at a part of the ceremony which showed what appeared to be a nod to the iconic Leonardo da Vinci painting ‘The Last Supper’ but with people in drag costumes standing in for some positions.

    A furious Ms Efstratiou said the controversial scene proved how it has become acceptable to mock Christianity – but other religions are strictly off-limits for parody.

    ‘The West has officially fallen,’ Ms Efstratiou said in a video shared to social media.

    ‘Way to just insult 2.4 billion Christians around the world. Maybe I’m not artsy enough but all I see here is a mockery of Christianity.’

    ‘The Last Supper with Jesus and the 12 apostles and they seem to have recreated it very poorly with drag queens.’

    Ms Efstratiou claimed the organisers ‘would never dare do this about Islam’.”

    ‘altercation between passengers’ from Qatar Airways flight QR023, from Doha to Manchester, which arrived at 7.20pm.

    “The altercation may have taken place during the flight or afterwards in the T2 baggage hall” they said,. They are also probing a “violent disturbance involving members of the public in the T2 Starbucks” at at approximately 8.22pm

    This was then followed by “the assault of three police officers which occurred in the T2 car park pay point area at 8.28pm” they said. “This resulted in the three officers receiving head injuries, including a broken nose” they added.”

    Being not close to the ‘msm’ at the moment wouid I think that the TR demonstration was- peaceful – well conducted – and without the attendance of a single MP ? – and that the emirs ‘ religious police didn’t get stuck in as usual ….?
