    It’s only a few weeks into Starmer’s term and I reckon it’s already over for him and Labour as far as a new term is concerned.

    While Labour won comfortably, they still needed the white working class to vote for them to win.

    Unless they flood us with 20 million more migrants over 5 years, they are finished.

    The white working class will never forgive labour for labelling the protesters, the vast of whom were peaceful, as ‘far right thugs’. He gave this blanket label to all of them.

    I bet loads of them had voted Labour!

    Not any more. And I think , like the Sun newspaper in Liverpool, they’re done.

    That’s if our Dear Leader is going to allow an election in 5 years time!

      Lazy – I’m not so sure …. People forget quickly – and 4 years is a long time into the future … however … I think things are going to get worse on every front
      I’d like to hope that Reform will grow and become the natural opposition but it has a long way to go .
      The blues – hopefully – are dead – there is no one capable of bringing them back – they are too dumb or corrupt to realise this – it’s a game to them – Cameron – Johnson – Sunak – just a game – with us as their victims . damn them …

      I’m fact, Labour won in most or all of the towns and cities that had unrest!

      Yes, some had high immigrant populations, but even Rotherham is (officially at least) over 80% white.

      That doesn’t look like he’s making excuses or believes it’s a PR disaster.

      Unless I’m missing something, which is possible.

      It just looks like he’s doubling down (“I’m not giving them any excuse and they can’t use immigration I’m not listening’ he seemed to say – in Minecraft.)

      Can’t see him apologising. He hasn’t called off the CPS or police chiefs from threatening everyone (examples- possible prison for just witnessing a riot or just for speculating or sharing incorrect information online in good faith.)

      Like who the fuck do they think they are?

      Yep…but the line they are preparing is that there is a problem with immigration…it’s you….you’re ignorant and bigoted. What we need is a much more positive spin on migration…how it is so beneficial for us economically and socially and culturally.

      That’s the ‘plan’ to deal with migration….tell us how good it is and then fling open the borders even more….and denounce anyone who dares ask questions as ‘Far-Right thugs’.

    I admit I did not watch any of the Paris Olympics. None at all including the opening or closing. So it was a surprise to hear (on LBC radio) that I needed a TV license to watch ‘Sports’ on TV.

    You may of heard that too. It was a brief radio Ad hat could have been ‘Sky TV’, – but the word license was used (not a subscription). And there was no mention of the word ‘BBC’ at all in the Ad. Just the mention If you watch Sports on TV you need a TV license

    This comes after many other radio shows on other Radio channels who claims that children and teens would never watch the BBC or pay for it. They might watch Sport, but probably on You Tube or Sky, maybe.

    This has got the BBC rattled. They spent big on attracting YOUTH radio channels and employing hundreds of ‘black and ethnic’ presenters that now lead all their bulletins with ‘the message’. And the kids are not listening. And yet many have chosen (or say) they vote Labour (for how long we’ll see). Its a conundrum for the BBC, who were struggling before Labour gave them all a pay rise. And no dunt another TEN YEARS TV License Charter to exploit whatever it can from its dwindling band of followers (most of them quite elderly or/and banged up in prioson watching ‘homes under the hammer’ for 19 hours per day. If in prison, I learn you do not have to pay a TV license!

    No matter. The BBC TV Ad states ‘Sport’, if you watch it, you have to pay the BBC.. or so they say…

    BBC Paris Olympics viewers warned of possible £1,520 fines as TV Licence ‘detector vans’ patrol streets
    The TV Licensing fleet of detector vans is out in force this weekend as the BBC Paris Olympics coverage begins.
    https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/uk-news/bbc-paris-olympics-viewers-warned-29626063

    And what is even more amazing is that the BBC are nit even paying for the privilege of ‘live streaming’ the Olympics either… It appears that they lost the low bid and can only stream ‘UK sports footage.

    This is from the Radio Times!

    Why does the BBC only have two live feeds at the Olympics 2024?

    ‘BBC is not the primary broadcaster of the Olympic Games in 2024 after Warner Bros. Discovery swooped in to clinch the TV rights to show the Games between 2018 and 2024, including Paris 2024.

    Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly paid $1.45 billion for the initial agreement which has now been extended to 2032, when the Games will take place Down Under in Brisbane.

    However, by UK law, several sporting events are protected and must be shown live on free-to-air TV. The Olympic Games is one of them. Therefore, BBC has been able to sub-licence the Games from Warner Bros. Discovery.’

    https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sport/olympics-2024-bbc-live-feeds/

    So basically the BBC does not have a ‘license’ and relies on another broadcaster for ‘clips’ and what it does ‘get’ it also get for ‘FREE’ and because of that, it cannot mention the word OLYMPICS in its Ads.

    Hence the rather odd Radio Ad stating that ‘if you watch Sports …’ trying to claim that ALL ‘SPORTS’ or even ALL ‘ live Sports’, need a TV license – which is of course totally untrue. The BBC does not itself have a license to show ‘Sports’ as a generic term, nor Olympics, to watch Sport. Its all a bit odd.

    And I am not even sure if the BBC paid for the LBC radio AD. But I am 99% certain it was the BBC. It had been repeated several times during the Olympics. And the youth won’t pay the BBC, but they might pay for the live ‘Sports’ tag – and no mention that all the TV license money goes straight to the BBC direct for its *STARS* – ‘and by ‘eck, there are a lot of ’em-‘ — (just ask, Huw Edwardes)!

    Do they never learn? Christopher Steele…a man who obtained ‘information’ from Russian intelligence officers and used it to try and bring down the US President and caused absolute chaos in the US political system…with collaborators in the Democrat Party, US media and the BBC.

    He’s back spreading more lies and disinformation….

    ‘There is “clear” Russian involvement in the far-right riots and security services will be looking closely at the instigators, a former head of the MI6 Russia desk has said.

    Christopher Steele, the ex-spy who compiled a notorious dossier on Donald Trump’s relationship with Russia, said that security officials would be “looking very carefully” at the people encouraging anti-immigration riots in the past fortnight.

    Steele said that the security services “will be looking very carefully at the instigators of these activities, including people like Tommy Robinson, even conceivably Nigel Farage, who incidentally said that we were being misinformed by the government about Southport”.’

    Who is he working for? The Russians or Starmer? Is there much difference given Starmer was a vocal advocate for Jeremy Corbyn to be PM…someone with close associations to Russia….and a starkly similar way of dealing with protests and people he doesn’t like as he weaponises the deaths of the three girls and subsequent riots to try and smear his opponents and shut down all opposition to his plan to flood Britain with migrants…funnily enough something Putin threatened to do knowing as he does the huge damage mass migration does to a country and the instability, division and distrust it causes.

    The BBC hasn’t reported it yet…they know it is rubbish as they did with the dodgy Trump Dossier…but won’t be long before they report on the reporting of it…’The Guardian says…..’ as they did with the dossier.

    The MSM ties itself ever closer to government and acts as its mouthpiece more and more. Be afraid, very afraid.

    Of course film has revealed the assailant to be a white chap and the heroic security guard, who probably saved the lives of both mother and daughter, to be a dusky bloke called Abdullah.

    Joint Statement from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy on the Middle East

    We, the leaders of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy discussed the situation in the Middle East. We expressed our full support for ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions and reach a ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza. We endorsed the joint call from President Biden, President Sisi of Egypt, and Amir Tamim of Qatar to renew talks later this week with an aim to concluding the deal as soon as possible, and stressed there is no further time to lose. All parties must live up to their responsibilities.

    In addition, unfettered delivery and distribution of aid is needed. We expressed our support for the defense of Israel against Iranian aggression and against attacks by Iran-backed terrorist groups. We called on Iran to stand down its ongoing threats of a military attack against Israel and discussed the serious consequences for regional security should such an attack take place.

    “A 12-year-old boy has admitted throwing a missile at a police van and taking part in two separate incidents of disorder in Manchester. The judge said the case was “very serious”. “He’s more involved in the violence and disorder than any other defendant I’ve seen coming through these courts, adult or child,” she added.

    He was remanded to local authority accommodation ahead of sentencing.

    At the same court, Lynden Parker, 26, pleaded guilty to violent disorder.

    He was remanded into custody and will be sentenced at Manchester Crown Court on 19 August.

    Laurence Dunkerley, 37, of Old Road, Failsworth, pleaded not guilty to a charge of violent disorder from the disturbances on 31 July.

    He was remanded into custody and will appear at Manchester Crown Court on 2 September for a plea and trial preparation hearing.

    Tracy Pearson, 53, and Michelle Jibson, 45, also pleaded guilty to violent disorder. Ms Kenyon told the court that the women, both of Kingsbridge Road, Manchester, had been “agitators” during the disturbances where items were thrown and racist abuse was directed towards the hotel.

    After being remanded into custody, Pearson shouted over the judge: “Don’t care. Freedom of speech is gone. Joke.”

    In the same court, Graham Brookes pleaded guilty to violent disorder.

    The 42-year-old was remanded into custody and will also be sentenced at Manchester Crown Court on 19 August.

    Thomas Ward, 35, of Colliery Street, Manchester, pleaded guilty to violent disorder and exposure at the same incident, having admitted throwing missiles and exposing his genitals at police.

    He was also remanded in custody to be sentenced at the same court on 19 August.”

    “Trump and Musk RECAP: Slurring Donald and giggling Elon shower each other with compliments in bizarre two-hour ramble that was overshadowed by technical failures.

    Listeners of former President Donald Trump’s Monday night interview with Elon Musk noticed that the ex-president seemed to be slurring his words or speaking with a slight lisp.

    It was unclear if Trump was misspeaking or if there was an audio quality issue after the conversation on X started off with several tech snafus.

    The left-leaning Huffington Post’s White House correspondent S.V. Date asked the Trump campaign why the ex-president appeared to be slurring his words.

    ‘Must be your s***ty hearing. Get your ears checked out,’ a spokesperson responded.”

    Sounds hilarious. Unfortunately there is no clip of her ‘performance’ to be found. No surprise there.

    It seems all ‘Bella’ does is force herself into ‘festivals’ like this one. Luckily the BBC have come to her rescue with free publicity.

    It’s another 100% typical, lengthy feminist BBC article focussed entirely on how difficult life is for women.

    ‘Living with suicidal thoughts every month was something Humphries had become used to.’

    I wonder if they will have a follow up article for the problems men have to face:

    From samaritans.org:
    ‘449 people died by suicide in 2021 – 359 males (80%) and 90 females (20%)’

    Of course they won’t. Because the BBC are stuffed with shameless, feminist activists who show their misandry every time they push articles like this on the front page while totally ignoring the troubles men have to live with.

    I see the Leicester Square stabbing story is now 5% about the heinous act itself and 95% about the brave Muslim who tackled him (along with several unnamed others who I presume are white). And this same narrative is appearing across dozens of websites so it’s gone out down the TNI propaganda chute.

    I also see elsewhere that he is being described by a black ‘street artist’ (who does ‘Darth Vader every day’) as a ‘skinny white male’. I wonder where he is from : they would have told us by now if he was English.

    This story is cleary getting the ‘hold back the details until it dies down’ treatment we have seen so many times before.

        I think the lesson the BBC are trying to subconsciously implant with this extreme attention they are giving to the Calocane story is that it’s not black people’s fault when they murder people. It’s whiteys fault for not stopping them.

        The BBC love to write things like this:
        In a joint statement, they added: “This report demonstrates gross, systemic failures in the mental health trust in their dealings with Calocane – from beginning to end.”

        But NEVER mention how the statement has been concocted by lawyers who are only interested in a compensation claim.

          “On 17 December 1992, Christopher Clunis stabbed Jonathan Zito to death at Finsbury Park station, London, England.[1][2]
          Christopher Clunis

          Christopher Clunis was born on 18 May 1963 in Jamaica.[2] He was treated as an inpatient at Jamaica’s Bellevue Hospital in 1986.[2] Soon thereafter Clunis moved to London, where from 1986 to 1992 he received psychiatric treatment at several hospitals.[2]
          Killing

          At between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. on 17 December 1992, in Finsbury Park Underground station in North London, England, Clunis used a knife to stab 27-year-old Jonathan Zito, who was a stranger to Clunis, three times in the face.[1] Zito was taken to Whittington Hospital, where he died two hours later. The fatal wound pierced his right upper eyelid and brain.
          Proceedings

          Clunis was arrested and taken to Holloway Road police station. At 3:45 p.m. on 18 December, he was charged with murder.[2] On 28 June 1993 at the Old Bailey, he admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.[2] He was ordered to be detained indefinitely in Rampton, a secure hospital in Nottingham.[1][2]”

    Self-appointed fact-checkers par excellence BBC Verify won’t be interested since these claims are on-message – as today’s Guardian frontpage goes with two big whoppers of misinformation intended to agitate their readership to action.

    Thought you’d heard the last of our Lucias and Cressidas of Just Stop Oil? Thought Insulate Britain had all buggered off on trust fund financed gap years? Or taken up red, white, green and black flags? Well, this agit prop headline by Ajit Niranjan is designed to bring them back out on the streets armed with the superglue…

    ‘Silent killer’ heatwaves in Europe claim 50,000 lives (Guardian) – false claims circulated so as to incite unfounded fear and hate, leading to civil disturbance, eh 2TK?

    Inflamed

    Climate alarm as hugh death toll from hottest year on record revealed… Hot weather inflamed by carbon pollution killed nearly 50,000… research has found… Doctors call heat a “silent killer” because it claims far more lives than people realise… Elisa Gallo, an environmental epidemiologist at ISGlobal and lead author of the study… published in Nature Medicine

    ISGlobal (Instituto de Salud Global de Barcelona): Heat Caused Over 47,000 Deaths in Europe in 2023, the Second Highest Burden of the Last Decade… Heat related mortality would have been 80% higher in absence of the adaptation observed during the present century… This is the estimate of a study… In a nutshell, researchers used temperature and mortality records from 823 regions in 35 European countries for the period 2015-2019 to fit epidemiological models to estimate heat related mortality in each European region over the entire year 2023 – in a nutshell… to fit models… to estimate… in other words, in a nutshell… bollocks.

    Don’t expect any research from this source to examine the stats on how many British pensioners pop their cloggs this coming winter due to Rachel Reeves having docked their winter fuel allowances.

    Meanwhile, other tech billionaires are decidedly out of favour over there at the Gruan

    Spread of far-right hate drives Labour MPs off X – claims the Guardian – and if that’s a true and valid statement that 400 Labour MPs have suddenly given up their precious Twitter accounts – then Bob’s my aunt and Fanny’s my Dutch uncle with a big Sir Keir-endorsed penis to boot.

    Labour MPs have been quitting X in alarm… – alarm again, so soon after climate alarm…

    …quitting X in alarm at the state of the site, with one saying Elon Musk has turned it into “a megaphone for foreign adversaries and far-right fringe groups” – oh the humanity!

    Concentrate now… our Eleni Courea, Guardian Political correspondent is about to substantiate her bold claim how that big Labour block in parliament has in righteous protest quit Twitter, boycotted X and divested itself of Mr Musk’s social media platform, en masse…

    Two Labour MPs are known to have told colleagues they were leaving the platform. One of them, Noah Law has disabled his account (Guardian)

    Hello, Marianna Spring, about this Guardian frontpage…?

    BBC News leading with the tragic slaughter of 3 souls in Nottingham – and the third world vermin who did it . This came about because of the frankly stupid concept of ‘care in the community ‘ .
    I write with no personal interest but one of my degrees is in common sense . If you have a monster like that killer he needed to be in a mental home – the sort the left got rid of.

    Instead the useless ‘care in the community ‘ allowed him to practice his violence repeatedly until the inevitable – probably with the vermin in Southport ….

      When I’ve worked Leicester Square for promotional events there were a troupe of insane homeless people lurking, maybe up to a dozen, most of whom are very clearly mental cases – much of their income seems to come from intimidating visitors. They are often much the worse for alcohol – sprawled in flower beds etc… A similar troupe lurk the western bank of the Thames outside Parliament.

      Police have little appetite for rounding them up unless there’s an incident – traders / al fresco eateries are wary.

    Man charged after girl stabbed in Leicester Square
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y3e6dl6wgo

    And here we have it. The most remarkably brief, basic facts only report from the BBC considering the nature of this horrific attack.

    His name ?
    Ioan Pintaru

    Sounds a lot like an East European immigrant to me.

    Another one to quickly go under the carpet. And whatever you do, don’t mention that such knife attacks by immigrants was the reason for all the riots. Just use the words ‘far-right’ and ‘mental issues’ a lot.

    I notice the original story has already gone from the BBC’s front page and this article does not even link to it. It’s basically vanished completely.

    This man got the 11 year old girl in a headlock then stabbed her in the face. And the BBC didn’t tell us that because want to bury it quickly.

    This story absolutely deserves to be linked to the recent riots as it is 100% relevant. The fact it isn’t – by anyone – shows what a fascist state we now live under. Anything which doesn’t fit the Leftist agenda is suppressed.

      The technique is getting pretty worn out now – as with every attack – more and more people notice the propaganda – obviously the large number of ‘unthinking ‘ will carry on the nodding dog act but I think the time is coming when the stabbings are not reported any more – unless involving an unapproved group – such as which British male ….

    That’s wilfully misleading Caroline.
    Read the judges sentencing remarks.
    Most of them had previous convictions, sacked their barristers and went out of their way to disrupt court proceedings.
    It’s a crap law but they went out of their way to performatively get those sentences.

    ‘Wilfully misleading’ is what now?

    Not a legal expert, but one thing I do know is the Shakespearean Ass profession values ‘respect’ more than a Compton gang.

    Which is why total scumbags get off if their lawyer crams them in a suit and they apologise to the court.

    Showing it is all performative farce was never going to play well.

    Especially as Don Rog is directing the mob from his cell like the geezer Dad in ‘The Gentlemen’.

      Maybe Donald Trump should also demand his extradition for “putting a target on his back” with Lammys racist and other defamatory and inflammatory remarks as the SNP one is alleging Musk did ?

      Interesting that calling out a lefty as racist is “putting a target on his back” but this is something the left have done time and time again eg. Farage WHO HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY ATTACKED after repeated left wing slanders and libels, and so many others.
