    Trump to be interviewed by FBI in shooting investigation
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6p2kr9033go

    ‘Despite poring over mountains of evidence, investigators are yet to determine a motive to explain why Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on 13 July.’

    Perhaps now would be a good time for the BBC to reveal how the world has discovered Crook’s had a Grab account where he posted messages in support of Joe Biden.

    But they didn’t. They think it’s best we don’t know.

    And for no reason whatsoever apart from agenda, they BBC made a video for the article. Is it all about the Trump shooting as one would expect given the title of the article ?.
    Nope : it’s called ‘Relive a wild month in US politics in about two minutes’ and the last 30 seconds is an absolutely shameless promotion of Harris.

    The other thing which niggles me about this whole affair is how does a 20 year old kitchen worker not only know how to construct remote control explosive devices but also how to order them in pieces which do not arouse suspicion ?.

    Never mind this seemingly incredible streak of luck to get onto a roof with a clear shot at the President.

    As always, the activists at the BBC won’t go near it if they think they won’t like the answer.

    ‘Worst thing I’ve ever seen’ – witnesses describe Southport attack
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz7ez3nrr05o

    Amazing. All this lengthy article and not a single reference to the murderer.

    Which means only one thing in BBC land : 100% he is a Muslim.

    And isn’t it amazing how all these witnesses never ever say anything which allude to the ethnicity of the attacker. Either that or the BBC rewrite what they say and pretend they said that instead. Exactly like they do for the Muslims in Gaza.

    Just reading how we are being told the ‘ferocious stabbing’ and murder of all those children is ‘not terror related’.

    So I checked what that might mean according to the police. And I was quite surprised at what I found:

    Terrorism
    https://www.cps.gov.uk/crime-info/terrorism

    Terrorism is defined as:
    ‘the use or threat of one or more of the actions listed below, and where they are designed to influence the government, or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public. The use or threat must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.’

    So we’ll leave the child murderer for now until the inevitable details emerge – but we have already been told it’s not terrorism.

    Let’s look at another recent example from the BBC:
    ‘Extremist Ahmed Alid guilty of Hartlepool knife murder’
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tees-68899601

    ‘He later told police it was in protest against Israel and the Gaza conflict.’
    In what bizarre alternate reality does that not come under the heading ‘ purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.’ ?.

    Yet the BBC never label HIM as a terrorist. Because their view is that other people think he is a ‘freedom fighter’. Other Muslims that is.

    How is it that the Left consider that it is OK to ignore the written letter of the law when it suits THEIR agenda ?. It’s ridiculous and outrageous in equal measures. What is the point in having laws when the Left can selectively apply them to their ideological enemies but no themselves ?. And the BBC are the worst of all – they do it all the time with their racist and sexist discrimination.

    The other part which shows just how perverse our ‘laws’ have become is that for no reason whatsoever, the CPS gives us ‘some examples’ of terrorist organisations.

    One is ‘International Terrorism’ which they say includes all types of terrorist and a special mention for ‘Extreme Right Wing Terrorism’. No mention of ‘Islamic Terrorism’ as in the example above which is by far the most common type where it’s a Muslim trying to influence government policy (and succeeding shown by the fact we daren’t even call them terrorists now). Their example is:
    ‘Recent years have seen a rise in cases of extreme right wing terrorism in the UK.’
    What does that mean ?. 2 instead of 1 ?. 10 million instead of 1 million ?. It’s a worthless, purely political statement.
    ‘Extreme right wing terrorists promote messages of hate-filled prejudice which can encourage radicalisation among people motivated by race hate.’
    What ?. So they don’t actually do anything ?. And they don’t fit a single one of the ‘criteria’ list. It might be hate crime, but it isn’t terrorism.

    This article is quite shocking to read because it is not consistent and sensible. It is warped by the politics of fear to be lenient to the real terrorists and suppress everyone else. It’s an indicator of our path down the road to fascist state control.

    Thomas Mair was designated a terrorist because ‘the judge concluded that Mair wanted to advance white supremacy’. If he is a terrorist, so is EVERY Muslim who murders some innocent infidel in the name of Islam.

    And of course the recent attacks on the French railways qualifies as terrorism. But of course they are far-Left terrorists so they too are exempt.

    As I was looking around on Google, I found this document which reports all the ‘right wing terrorism’ from 1999 to 2022:

    Click to access report_extreme_right_wing_terrorism_in_the_uk_22-052-01-1.pdf

    There are many – but almost every single one is ‘possesion of material’. Glancing through, I only saw one actual ‘event’ of an attempted murder. They were all caught long before they actually did anything.

    What that tells me is that the white population is being very, very closely monitored for everything they do on the internet. It must be a massive operation but we never hear anything at all about it. Another sign of the fascist state we are turning into.

      The next step must surely be ‘non reporting ‘ of Islamic terrorism with only those directly affected knowing the truth .

      And the truth is the problem – when the state deceives us – leaves gaps in reports – uses the usual distractions ( flowers and candles ) then we fill in the gaps . The lieutenant colonel stabbed last week is an example – the 17 Year old Somali terrorist – yesterday will be another.

      Anyone reading site will learn the pattern quickly . Plod not saying who did it – and why – it is State policy to minimise the crimes of third world vermin and enable them to carry out the murders and rapes .
      And then they go on about crimes against women and children as though there is no connection . They think we are dumb . We are not . I just wish there was a real response …
      But any response is defined by some mad lefty language as a ‘hate crime ‘ … and the state – plod – is much happier going after ‘hate crime ‘ than Islamic /foreign terrorism

      This is only going to get worse .

    Two children dead and nine injured in dance workshop stabbing
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cql8j2j0304o

    “Police said the motivation for the attack was “unclear” but it was not being treated as terror-related.”

    These days we always have the line “not being treated as terror-related” – this is the norm now. I remember growing up as a kid and this wouldn’t even be considered, even if we had incidents like this back then. Sad times we live in, and wonder what the future holds

      “It was horrendous. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Mr Johnson said.

      “It’s like something from America, not like sunny Southport.”

      Lots of people jumping on the bandwagon:

      Merseyside’s Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell said she was “utterly shocked and devastated” to hear of the “truly appalling” incident.

      But the BBC make sure they slip this one into the middle:
      Steve Rotheram, mayor of Liverpool City Region, has urged the public not to spread “unconfirmed speculation and false information”.

      And not any hint or suggestion of the HUGE elephant in the room yet again. It’s like all these children were stabbed by a ghost.

      Lets see how much of our speculation is false Steve. You could stop it of course by releasing some details about who did it. Why don’t you ?. You certainly know.

    Just when you thought it could not get any more ridiculous, it seems the families of the victims of this bombing want to find our government responsible because they didn’t stop the IRA setting this bomb off.

    The reason is obvious : where’s there’s blame, there’s a claim.

    The politics of the regime is omitted by the BBC – it is far left . It it was right wing we d know about it right away . Just one of those examples of BBC bias by omission ,

    The BBC has to be careful about reporting stolen elections because it will go back to the stolen 2020 election in the USA . Something which Cannot Be Mentioned ..

    Pink-hued paper edition

    Like a stuck record on a gramophone (there’s one for the teenagers) the Guardian remains the gynaeceum that is BBC news staff’s top pick for their online frontpage line-up of our national titles.

    You know the way a dodgy tradesman, be it an electrician, a plumber, carpenter, or whatever, will come to your house to quote for some job of work and he’ll invariably tut meaningfully and remark: “Who worked on this last? Must have been a right cowboy! It’s going to cost you a fair bit to put right the mess he’s made of it”

    And so it is that: Reeves acts to plug £22bn hole ‘covered up’ by Tories (Guardian)

    As opportunist political narratives go – it’s a fairly good one. Kudos to the Labour spin doctor who came up with it.

    Tax rise hints as chancellor cuts winter fuel payment (Times) – sadly, a lot of people who really ought to have known better still voted for Labour. And frankly, they now deserve to get it ‘sooner, harder and for longer’ as Sir Keir would say.

    10 million to lose winter fuel allowance… Heating help axed for all but poorest pensioners… VAT on private school fees from January (‘i’) – neither of which will do anything much to fix broken Britian or our busted finances – but it seems as though we’re in for some rather tokenistic headline-grabbers from this lot. To please the base – as they say in the US

    UK in talks with Israel over partial ban on arms exports (‘i’)

    One wonders if any of those over here who are ‘partial’ to Hamas will be satisfied with that?

    Charges Ex-BBC man Huw Edwards – hints the Mirror – Ex… really? If he’s Ex then how come he’s still on the BBC payroll? Huw Edwards was the BBC’s best-paid journalist last year despite being suspended for nine months, the BBC’s annual report shows. Edwards earned £480,000 between March 2023 and April 2024, a pay rise of £40,000, making him the corporation’s third-highest-earning presenter (Telegraph)

    To be fair, although this news about the Welsh top newscaster, on our national broadcaster, doesn’t trouble the frontpage of the Guardian and gets tucked away at the foot of the Times on a par with the likes of the Latin American election results and some swimmer with the sniffles: Peaty has Covid – the Mirror, tabloid that it is, does get around to spelling out the charges in their gory detail with typically red top panache: Huw on child sex pic raps

    The left-leaning poundshop Guardian that is the ‘i’ newspaper is matter of fact: Courts – Huw Edwards charged over indecent images; the tablod par excellence that is the Star helpfully reminds us of his employer: BBC Huw’s indecency pics charge; but it’s the giveaway Metro which goes for the jugular: TV Huw kid porn charge – taking last place in the BBC’s press line-up – absolutely by chance (allegedly – as they say)

    See it, say it, sorted.

    In other news Britain gets more stabby than it used to be. The police “were shocked” (BBC), but are suitably fulsome with their: heartfelt condolences and sympathies (BBC) – which is the better part of their job these days, right? That and of course reassuring us: the incident was not currently being treated as terror-related (BBC) – now that there’s suddenly dozens of cops roaming around all over the place – can we get a reassurance for the community? Yes we can: Merseyside Police said it was not looking for anyone else in connection with the attack and that the “motivation for the incident remains unclear” (BBC)

    Can I just say – no more pictures of Olympic medal winners biting their medals – it’s getting really old and tired and we’re only up to about day three.

    Seems like a nice boy

    Tom Daley with Noah Williams kicked off a day of medal winning for Team GB (Telegraph)

    What a gay day! – as Larry Grayson used to say.

    Online dating companies are enjoying mixed fortunes. While shares in Grindr, with its pitch to gay and bisexual men, have doubled, Tinder owner Match has shed a fifth of its market value (FT) – whereas the pink-hued market paper dares offer no causational analysis of this trend, your very own Mr AsI will indeed venture his own two penn’orth. Never one to be frightened to go there.

    Common sense and world-weary experience suggest that although us guys tend to be rather business-like and forthright in terms of getting it on (so to speak), be they batting for the home or the away side – the other gender tend far too picky and many will go online merely for the fun of self-validation. Hence the gay hook-up app is going great guns while the straight site flops. Supply and demand and all that.

    (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction – as the pop poet Mick Jagger was once prone to lament

    JD Vance defends ‘childless cat ladies’ comment after backlash… I’m sorry, it’s true,” he added (BBC) – QED

    Look at the muck in here – well, we may as well go for the trifecta of old Larry Grayson catchphrases

    Would you swim in the Seine? …concerns about the safety of the water have not abated, and early on Tuesday organisers said the men’s event would be postponed by a day due to pollution levels (BBC)

    Shut that door!

    Rachel Reeves’s £22 billion fiscal “black hole”, which most folk knew about bar, strangely, her is almost 50% the result of the Chancellor agreeing to large public-sector pay rises, without any increased productivity conditions, which makes her ignorance of the the black hole even stranger.

    Originally from Cardiff they say.

    I wonder if, when reporting the death of John Lennon in New York they said he (Lennon) was originally from Los Angeles. He lived there during 73/74.

    Daniel Sandford, BBC. Reporting last night.

    “It is extremely rare and obviously we’ve had some very high-profile mass-stabbings which have been linked to terrorism and we’ve had some exceptionally distressing mass-stabbings.

    Most infamously of course, in Dunblane back in 1996 I believe that was. Where a significant number of primary school children were stabbed to death in a mass-stabbing. But this is not something that is in any way common and the number of mass-stabbings involving children on this scale -really the only one I can immediately think of is the Dunblane primary school incident in 1996.”
    *

    This is extremely shoddy journalism. The Dunblane shooting massacre becomes a mass-stabbing just to serve their purpose. As if no one remembers.

    This is intended to keep the viewer thinking about Irish terrorists. And leave the impression that these “extremely rare” incidents have been happening for a long time. A Desperate deflection technique. They don’t want us to think it might be a recently-arrived immigrant or a Muslim. If you do you are probably a racist.

    “incidents involving children” Involving them? Not violence against children? Were the children the attackers?

    Their agenda was monumentally exposed in their recent Manchester Airport news cover. Even that hasn’t embarrassed them enough to reign themselves in.

    They are untouchable and they know it.

    Unless I’m very much mistaken I thought all this pollution in our rivers was connected to brexit and the fact that we no longer had to abide by the EUs very strict rules on water quality.

    Well, imagine my surprise when l heard that the seine ( rhymes with sane..other incorrect pronunciations are available) was none too clean. A quick check of my schoolboy atlas confirmed what I suspected, no British rivers flow into the seine.. so how has this happened?

    Sorry I know I’m obsessed with Verify but just caught this: “BBC Verify analyses attacks on the French railway system”

    They appear to have expanded their “range of forensic and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) capabilities” to borrow some footage of cheesed-off train passengers from Twitter. And they include a pic of some maintenance vans on a road, which was posted by a French local authority on Facebook. They’ve geolocated the vans. Of course they have.

    That’s about the sum total of their ‘analysis’. Seriously, shut them down and give the cash to a donkey sanctuary instead.

    BAN TAYLOR SWIFT?

    “Taylor Swift says ‘horror washing over me continuously'”

    Taylor Swift has just released a tribute in a post on Instagram.

    “The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously and I’m just completely in shock,” she writes.

    “The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders.

    “These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”

    Only pensioners on benefits to receive winter fuel payment.

    Politicians tell us that the state pension is (now) a benefit.

    Therefore, all pensioners should receive winter fuel payments.

    I’ve just found out that 400,00 people from abroad come to take advantage of our NHS for private medical treatment. Why are these people (customers) not being heavily taxed ? Put the money accrued into countrywide public screening for our citizens.

    Personally, I would also place an additional financial tax on the Surgeons who are treating these overseas private patients ahead of our own citizens awaiting operations, many of whom are often in constant pain. I would name and shame them.

    I would place a residency of work order on any doctor trained or practising in this country. Somewhere between 5-10 years.

    Are you listening BBC, this is a public scandal. Why don’t you report this?

        Whatever possessions he owned I would sell and then donate the proceeds to the Lee Rigby Fund.

        In fact, I think crime would be greatly reduced if every Muslim who committed a religious based crime had their possessions taken by the state and handed to the Lee Rigby Fund.

        The jails would be emptied very quickly.

    The BBC narrative for the Southport atrocity is already playing out in classic textbook fashion… he’s 17 (he’s not)… he’s Welsh (he’s definitely not)…his parents are Rwandan (low % of Muslims) – the MSM take us for fools at every turn, dare we have the temerity to question the motive of this horrendous murderer, his likely faith, and his actual identity. Facebook and X have identified him as being on an M16 watchlist. The problem with watchlists is that’s all they are. They don’t prevent the inevitable.

    If the 8:00pm ‘protest’ in Southport goes ahead later, the reporting and hand-wringing will label it as ‘far-right’ as apposed to a local community wishing to get answers and support for having their world turned upside down by the abhorrent violence yesterday. The shock and anger in that community must be palatable.

    Hearts, flowers, tears, candles and vigils aren’t going to help those two families whose lives will never be the same again. The disbelief and horror of having your child murdered in broad daylight must be absolutely unimaginable. A barbaric act against Western values is the bottom line here. This was planned.

    When will the actual clash of cultures spill over into inevitable retribution and retaliation? Do ‘they’ really want a civil war in 2024? Who’s going to pick up the first pitch-fork?

    Put this 17 year old (with a full beard) in a room with the fathers of the children who were killed yesterday. Let’s see how that plays out.

    What has the UK become? It’s so saddening and ultimately maddening. And we have a Labour government who will do absolutely nothing in response.

      1985……………

      Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.

      I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police, more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country. The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

        I see that the BBC’s reporter is stationed outside Alder hay Hospital. He’s trying to obtain the names and details of the child causalities of the war. Why not the names of the likely muslim soldier? The hypocrisy.

        Lady Brooke also interviews the local Bishop. Sounded like an African and he: ‘We should all come together’. Yeah, let’s do that. A better mass target for the invading soldiers to stab I don’t wonder.

        As Morrissey sang in ‘Bonfire of Teenagers’:

        And the silly people sing: “Don’t Look Back in Anger”
        And the morons swing and say: “Don’t Look Back in Anger”
        I can assure you I will look back in anger ’till the day I die

        So, remember the slain children of Southport, Manchester and elsewhere. And always look back in anger, and with cold contempt and hatred, not just for the perpetrators of these outrages but especially for the politicians who have enabled it. Diversity: killing Britain, killing Britons.

          I’m with Morrissey on this. When someone decided “Don’t Look Back in Anger” should be used as a sort of theme tune for the Manchester bombing it boiled my piss. Of course we need to look back in anger. What else? Resignation? Acceptance? Submission to allah?

            Why has no one covered the Richard D. Hall case at the Royal Courts of Justice? The outcome of this case will be one of the most significant in recent times because if he is found guilty then justice in this country will have been well and truly extinguished. If a man is not even allowed to present evidence to defend himself before a group of his peers then you know you live in a police state.
