    Pertinently, locally – it would seem GPs need some kind of “check ride” system for competency and some publicly viewable metric of how much they’re doing for the money.

      If only a fight was allowed.

      Maybe we can arrange it for charity? Put it on pay per view?

      Have you seen the difference to how, in general ,lefties and righties look?

      In the left corner, you’ve got those strange looking, effeminate, bearded, bespectacled soy faced males in eternal Friendzones, trying to get a mad, obese, gobby, pink haired, face pierced harpie to let them have a go on their fanny.

      In the right corner, you’ve got men who go to the gym regularly and are in good shape. They are masculine. The women are infinitely better looking and in much better shape.

      It’d be a fucking bloodbath.

      Not that I’d condone or want such a thing – unless permitted with proceeds going to a charity of TTK’s choice, of course.

    ” I am thrilled to bits for Wing , Wang, Wong winning
    the gold medal ” I can’t imagine any other NATIONAL
    broadcaster
    country covering the Olympics who seem so pleased
    that somebody from another country has won a gold
    medal. Just more proof that the BRITISH broadcasting
    corporation is nothing more than an oxymoron.

    BBC website “Starmer will be judged on how he tackles root causes of riots”. Despite the smooth words, the Government is most certainly not addressing the root cause of the disturbances. Even with the present demographics, never mind more non-stop immigration, this country WILL be a muslim-majority country by 2050. The indigenous people don’t want to live under an Islamic regime. I do not want my great granddaughters to have to cover their heads (Iran, not even an Arabic country!). I do not want them to be able to marry a much older man when aged 9 (Iraq proposal). Perhaps Starmer can tell me which of the 53 present-day Muslim-majority countries he sees as a paradigm for us. Stupid thing to say. They will never address the concerns of the white population.

      Theresa May has really good speech …

      As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’

      https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/home-secretary-speech-on-an-immigration-system-that-works-in-the-national-interest

      2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012

    That police chief saying he’ll look into going after people abroad is making Britain an even bigger laughing stock internationally than it already is.

    Is it me, or are the ‘leaders’ of various institutions getting high on power since Keir Jong Un (aka TTK) got in?

    If there was an election tomorrow, I think Reform would sweep up in quite a few of those poor northern towns.

    British Pravda are saying that our Dear Leader will be judged on how he tackles the root causes of riots.

    I think there will be a report. And I can save everyone the time and money by giving you my prediction of the findings (I think I’m still allowed to make predictions, but if not I’ll see you in the gulag).

    The findings will be, ‘It’s all whitey’s fault. They need ‘reeducation’. In fact, we will force this on them in their schools and workplaces (even more than it already is,). They need to know about their ‘white privilege’.

    I hope to be proved wrong and ‘local community leaders’ come out and apologise for the industrial rape of white girls over decades, and that they will be actively teaching their young males to not do this. And that they will hand over known ‘groomers’ (child rapists) to authorities. In addition, that the government apologises for neglecting the local white working class communities for years and they will be creating lots of affordable housing and jobs for them.

    But I think we’re more likely to see Elvis Presley and Queen Victoria presenting This Morning in the nude than that.

    I hope to be proved wrong.

      uh my starting point when it comes to
      the consideration of any issue relating

      that the second most precious thing in
      life is the right to express yourself
      freely
      the most precious thing in life I think
      is food in your mouth
      and the third most precious is a roof
      over your head

      slot is free expression just below the
      need to sustain life itself

      A student who called a mounted policeman’s horse “gay” will not be prosecuted, it has been revealed.
      But police have stood by their decision to take Sam Brown to court for making “homophobic comments” despite the Crown Prosecution Service dropping the case.

      Mr Brown, 21, a student at Oxford University, had said to an officer: “Excuse me, do you realise your horse is gay?”

      Police took the case to court after Mr Brown refused to pay a £80 fine.

    According to the National Institutes of Health, obesity and overweight together are the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States, close behind tobacco use (3). An estimated 300,000 deaths per year are due to the obesity epidemic (57).

    That attack triggered a massive Israeli military offensive against Gaza and the current war. More than 39,790 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli campaign, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry.

                Others, like David Wood, accept the core historical elements of islam, but expose what he considers to be its many horrors.

    Recklessly I read the article, wondering if the words ‘immigration’ or ‘asylum seekers’ would appear at regular intervals.

    How stupid was I ? Of course not. The root cause of the riots is apparently poverty, lack of investment, and lack of opportunities in the places where the riots took place.

    As an exercise in deliberately avoiding the huge elephant in the room, it’s right up there. The BBC ‘on message’ as ever.

    Meet the men promising to protect English mosques facing threats
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1k3npmm7n8o

    Apallingly lop-sided article making out the Muslims are the peaceful ones.

    But of course that’s what you get when you appoint a Muslim as the religion editor of the British Broacasting Corporation in a Christian country.

    It’s clear the BBC WANT to split the country into factions. Is it just the usual leftist hatred and spite or do they have a bigger plan ?.

    ‘Jonathan Munro, Deputy Director of BBC News and Head of News Content, says: “Aleem has always been an exceptionally thoughtful reporter and analyst with journalistic drive and a strong vision for reaching new audiences’

    Those audiences of course being all the Muslim countries.

    The BBC no longer represent the people who are forced to fund them in any way. They are now an activist organisation who are trying to spread their own ideology across the world. Why on Earth should the people they hate be forced to fund them to do it ?.

    Woman prosecuted for retweeting what was claimed to be the identity of the person who stabbed the kids at the dance school.

    Will the BBC be prosecuted for the many, many dangerously false news stories it has broadcast to the world…especially given its high status, reputation and trust level?

    For instance the baseless report that an Israeli missile had hit a hospital in Gaza…killing hundreds…and completely destroying the hospital. All three of those ‘facts’ were false.

    The BBC’s reporting led to crucial diplomatic negotiations being stopped, led to fury around the world against Israel and an undoubted rise in anti-Semitism against Jews everywhere.

    The BBC’s reporters who made the claims are still employed and still reporting…Jeremy Bowen is actually proud of his fake report and says he has no regrets. Why is he still in a job and, by current eagerness to prosecute those who promote hate however unintentionally [and you might question the ‘unintentional’ in the case of the BBC], why has the BBC not been prosecuted for ‘stirring up hate’ against Jews and Israel? Why is a woman with probably 10 followers on Twitter prosecuted when the BBC, with many millions of ‘followers’ not?

    And of course it still goes on as the BBC promotes the Hamas narrative that Israel bombed a ‘school’ and killed 100 innocent people…the BBC reporting Hamas’ words…’an horrific crime…a massacre…a dangerous escalation…killing people at prayer…’

    None of that can be proved, the BBC has no idea if any of it is true and yet they broadcast it as if it is…with the slightest qualification that this comes from Hamas…whilst knowing that this won’t effect at all the willngness of people to believe the lies.

    What they reported in the way they did was no different to the hospital report. They had no real facts other than there was some sort of Israeli strike but had absolutely no evidence of what effect that had and what and who the casualties were.

    Report and be damned seems to be the BBC modus operandi….well…where Israel is concerned.

    If Starmer & Co were really concerned about hate speech they should closely examine the BBC’s output especially given how it effects Jews in this country and how their own Mayor in London facilitates the anti-Semitic Hamas marches.

    And if they were to investigate the organisers of the marches as the BBC is so intent on doing with the riots they’d find they were actually organised by Hamas itself and its useful idiot allies here in the UK.

    Curious how there’s absolutely no outrage or concern about them…no Spring time for the Muslim Hitlers.

      pug, the gent presenting a programme from Liverpool (R4 1.30-2.00 p.m.) appeared to be oblivious to the fact that the BBC can produce fake news and did just the morning after the terrible stabbings in Southport. The BBC said in the News on TOADY that the perpetrator had been brought to the UK aged 6 by his parents who were from Rwanda. Another poster on here has said that that is correct and my ears & brain were not imagining it. It later turned out that the perpetrator was born in Wales and eventually moved to Southport with his family.

      You know you can trust cannot trust the BBC.

    Lol…a BBC ‘indepth’ report….

    ‘Starmer will be judged on how he tackles root causes of riots’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5ykr900my8o

    You’d be hard pushed to find any real discussion here of what the real causes of unrest are….the dire consequences that we all know that arise from massive uncontrolled immigration.

    This is about it…

    ‘For now the government has avoided discussing immigration, again for fear of suggesting any of the unrest was justified.

    But in time they are likely to remind voters that the prime minister believes many people do have legitimate concerns about legal and illegal migration.’

    No exploration of why immigration is such a problematic issue..what those ‘legitimate concerns’ might be….from economic, social and cultural to the destruction of Britain and its identity and history….as the white, British population of London has gone from around 98% in the ’60’s to around 38% now. Of course it will be interesting to see how they define ‘legitimate’ as Welby declares the rioters were all racists…thus their concerns won’t be of interest at all.

    ‘Shapeshifters’
    ‘Writer and adventurer Blair Braverman dives deep under the surface of the ocean, in search of a more fluid, expansive and communal way to live. In short, she discovers that the ocean is queer…shapeshifters stretch the limits of our imaginations, tiny creatures teach us how to live in community, and where we can uncover new possibilities for how life can work on our planet.’

    Sooo…we’re supposed to take lessons on how to live from animals eh? OK….say a pack animal like a lion…..lives in a patriarchal tribe where the females do most of the work, they piss and defecate where they like, they eat meat, and they are very tribal and territorial…they kill foreign lions that enter their territory. Sounds good.

    It is bizarre that a supposedly serious science programme should try and equate humans and human behaviour and societies with some primitive sea creature. To suggest that because this creature can change sex and lives happily in its ‘society’ is a lesson for all is assinine and beyond childish. The issues in our society are many and complex…and real…and in no way compare with the simplistic lives of these sea creatures.

    This is just gaslighting us…telling us there are no issues…we can all live happily if we just believe….we can have that happy clappy diverse utopia…you just have to shut your eyes and wish.

    But maybe sticking to the domestic front – will anything – anything – in Britain improve ? It’s hard to see . The prediction that the reds will blame the blues for everything will run for the duration of the parliament

      You really really don’t want to try and predict the future….it’s not good…if you’re white, straight and non-Muslim.

Neither of them is a palatable choice and either will destroy, what’s left of, our society and make the world a much worse place….looking at countries which have been colonised and conquered by Islam you have to admit such a future would not be good….unlike those where Europeans colonised which prospered and grew with few exceptions.

      Those in authority either don’t understand Islam or do and are too afraid to tackle it…or worse they actually welcome it and wish to promote its ascendancy and supremacy.

        The support of Muslims by the Left is one of the key indicators to me of what complete and utter hypocrites they are. BAME are simply useful tools to be used in the ideological war against the Right.

        The astute observer will notice how the BBC don’t give a shit when any of them are murdered by their own kind. It only makes the headlines when whitey did it. The same goes for blacks.

        Once you realise that truth, you realise these people are lowest form of scum you can imagine.

          They’re brown (mostly).

          You’re bang on with how British Pravda cover murders. On the rare occasion it’s white on black- you never hear the end of it.

          Look at the difference to how the murders of Stephen Lawrence and to untold amounts of black/brown on white killings.

          Stephen Lawrence was what, thirty years ago or so? Why are they still going on about it? The guilty are in prison aren’t they? It’s almost as if they keep needing to remind everyone how evil whitey is by focusing so much on this, admittedly awful murder.

          But how about the 15 year old white lad from Scotland, Kris Donald, for example. I suggest not looking that up on Wikipedia if (like most people) you’re not aware of it, it’s grim.

          How many BBC dramas or documentary series have we seen about that? Where’s his mother’s life peerage?

          It’s the lying by omission that really annoys me. If the perp is non white (and the crime is particularly grim) the BBC will call the perp ‘man’ in the headline and/or if named in the article, there will be no photo. Not for quite a while anyway.

          If he’s white? You’ll know what he looks like, his full name and address and how many spots he has on his arse within a few hours of arrest or the wanted notice goes out.

          It’s a piss take and it’s anti white.

    Oh dear….when they decide to talk about immigration what will they say? Will they agree with the population that there are huge problems or will they try to spin it and tell us we are all wrong? Guess now.

    ‘Dame Margaret Hodge says Labour too frightened to talk about immigration’

    ‘Dame Margaret Hodge, who stood down at the election after 30 years as an MP, said Labour ignored voters’ concerns at its peril.

    She urged the party to work towards a new, positive discourse about immigration, focusing on the “richness” that foreign nationals bring to the UK.

    If you’re a politician, you have a voice. We need to use that voice to develop a new discourse about immigration – you lead rather than follow.’

    So basically the same as before…importing millions and gas-lighting us on how it’s so good for us….and of course the BBC will be there to promote that message on loop….Labour will ‘address’ the issues by spinning the line that there are no issues…you’re all mistaken…it’s all wonderful.

    And then they wonder why people get absolutely furious and frustrated when they are once again ignored and marginalised.

    In multicultural countries like the US – there is a unifying constitution – but the UK has nothing to unify it now that its’ history had been rubbished – along with so much else .

    Do they realise that these laws which they are welcoming in could then be used against them the same way as the right are being targeted now.

    Would those saying refugees welcome or no borders be arrested for treason when the borders are operated as they should be?

    Would those advocating violence against Nigel be arrested?

    Basically, all the things happening against the right could easily be turned against the left.

    The thing is, us on the right are far less vindictive and are more easy going so I doubt if much would happen.

    Jordan Peterson: The radical Left is guilt-tripping the West into oblivion. r Jordan Peterson discusses how to win the culture war, with insights from Soviet and Nazi dissidents who stood up against tyranny and compares their struggles with clampdowns on free speech today. He sits down with The Telegraph’s Steven Edginton in a wide-ranging discussion from why Britain was a miracle for the world to if he is addicted to Twitter:

    On the culture wars:

    “The right lacks vision. They play a rearguard game. They don’t have a compelling story to tell young people. And because they’re conscientious, conservatives are conscientious, it’s easy to hoist them on the petard of guilt. And the psychopathic narcissists of the radical left are unbelievably good at that.”

    On the personal versus the political:

    “I think you have to get your psychological house in order before you can be even remotely effective politically in the fundamental sense. Otherwise, you’re just a tool of ideology or your own ego.”

    On Britain:

    “English common law is a complete bloody miracle … what a phenomenal accomplishment. And so, yes, I think that makes Britain singular and worthy of tremendous admiration … It’s a country that’s suffering from far too much guilt at the moment.”

    On Twitter:

    “Twitter isn’t optional, it’s how I sample the culture. Is it a biased sample? Probably.”

    On slavery:

    “It was the British who decided hands down that slavery was wrong and then did something about it. And that is documented historical reality.”

    On the EU and France:

    “A lot of the centralising tendency that’s characteristic of the EU can be laid at the foot of the same spirit that motivated the French, the French revolutionaries … I see the French Revolution in itself as a reflection of something deeper, which is the continuing manifestation of the spirit of Cain.”

    Well, if true (and I think they may be right for once) then why did Starmer excuse genuine (and far worse) riots and attacks on police in Britain, over the death of a foreign criminal (George Floyd) on a different continent?

    It’s because, in my opinion (yes, I am allowed one!) one group of protesters was white and the other wasn’t (in general apart from non black lefties like him).

    Northumbria Police said the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested on Friday morning as part of a round of early-morning raids across the region.

    He appeared at South Tyneside Youth Court on Saturday where he admitted one charge of violent disorder and the burglary of a business, after stealing from a vape shop. He will next appear at the court on Thursday.
    Separately, a 15-year-old boy from Toxteth was charged with burglary in relation to disorder which took place in Liverpool city centre on August 3. The boy was remanded in custody to appear at Merseyside Youth Court later today.”

    “Chief Constable Chris Haward, the NPCC lead for serious and organised crime, said the ‘abhorrent’ violence did not take place ‘spontaneously’.

    ‘It was the result of dozens of so-called influencers, exploiting the outpouring of grief from the tragic loss of three young girls in Southport,’ he said.

    ‘They knowingly spread misinformation, stoked the flames of hatred and division and incited violence from the comfort of their own homes, causing chaos on other people’s doorsteps.’

    Mr Haward added: ‘Anyone who has been a part of this appalling behaviour should be aware that we have specialist officers from the regional organised crime unit network monitoring content and working at pace to identify you.

    ‘Online crimes have real-world consequences, and you will be dealt with in the same way as those physically present and inflicting the violence.’”
