    It is a curious thing that women have been erased from the NHS it seems….millions of women erased in order not to ‘offend’ women who want to be called ‘men’…but still get pregnant and give birth.

    Apparently all women, those who produce the babies, should now be called ‘birthing people’ or ‘birthing persons’ as a couple of NHS nurses referred to women on R4 today with no comment…then again this is the BBC that still slips in the term ‘assigned at birth’ for the sex/gender.

    The patriarchy at work! Millions of women being erased and insulted so as not to offend a tiny few who want to be men. The BBC is insistent on calling trans women [even rapists] ‘she’ but do they call trans-men who are up the duff ‘he’ as they give birth?

    You may have noticed the BBC is still quietly pushing the trans propaganda and trying to ‘normalise’ what has always been a very fringe, if not ‘freakish’, lifestyle choice. It is slipping into programmes about one subject Trans people and issues just as they try to insert something about climate change into just about every programme. A programme about school exams suddenly became about how trans pupils coped with school and their life.

    Some think Cass altered everything and won the war…it didn’t….they continue behind the scenes and will reassert themselves, with the help of the likes of the BBC, in no time at all.

    Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook comes out in support of “Free Speech” saying that he regrets giving in to pressure from the Biden administration to censor content on Facebook.

    This comes after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump criticised the Biden administration for trying to influence the election by trying to force social media to censor content critical of government lies and propaganda.

    Elon Musk of X, Chris Pavlovski of Rumble and Pavel Durov of Telegram also support “Free Speech”

    Robert Kennedy Jr said “The need to protect free speech has never been more urgent.”

    ‘File on 4’ goes deep into the riots…

    ‘Mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers came under attack during the riots that swept across the country earlier this month. The courts have been tough on violent disorder, but File on 4 examines how tackling the possible root causes may require an even stronger effort. Tensions over immigration are still simmering, particularly in areas that have long been in economic decline. ‘

    Listening to the first few words of the intro you might have thought this was going to be a measured, even-handed exploration of the causes of the riots….but you’d be wrong…it soon descended into the usual BBC pro-immigration and ignorant racists narrative.

    Perhaps no coincidence Yvette Cooper has been demanding a more positive narrative about immigration…yes, we need to talk about it…but only to say how great immigration is….in other words business as usual.

    File on 4 obliged as it told us how misunderstood the migrants and immgration were…they aren’t the problem, the problem is we don’t provide migrants with enough houses and resources and so dangerous ‘myths’ are propagated on social media and riots ensue. Apparently all issues with migrants, such as them chasing girls around and fencing being out up around schools are just myths…not true at all. This is the BBC that tried to deny hundreds of women were sexually assaulted in Cologne by migrants…the BBC, lol, tried to blame the Far-Right.

    Talk TV’s Alex Phillips can confirm the problem from her own experience..

    Yep….the problem is ignorance and racism not floods of migrants swamping communities and hijacking resources.

    The BBC…ever ready to educate and inform….with ‘Their Truth’.

      Here’s some f@cking facts Channel 4:

      “The atmosphere was uninhibited, aggressive. Fireworks were pointed at people, passers-by harassed, cellphones and wallets were stolen. The police were surprised and overwhelmed; there were too few officers on duty.

      The situation soon escalated completely. It came to especially “abominable” scenes as German Chancellor Angela Merkel would later describe it. Packs of men were hunting down women, cornering many of them. There were sexual assaults, rapes.”

      2015–16 New Year’s Eve sexual assaults in Germany

      During the 2015–2016 celebrations of New Year’s Eve in Germany, approximately 1,200 women were reported to have been sexually assaulted, especially in the city of Cologne. In many of the incidents, while these women were in public spaces, they were surrounded and assaulted by large groups of men who were identified by officials as Arab or North African men.[11][12][13][14] The Federal Criminal Police Office confirmed in July 2016 that 1,200 women had been sexually assaulted on that night.[1]

      By 4 January 2016, German media reports stated that, in Cologne, the perpetrators had mostly been described by the victims and witnesses as being “North African”, “Arab”, “dark-skinned”, and “foreign”. On 5 January 2016, the German government and the Cologne police speculated that the attacks might have been organized.[15][16][17] However, by 21 January, the government of North Rhine-Westphalia declared that there were no indications of premeditated organized attacks,[18] and on 11 February, the new Cologne police chief stated the same. Instead, the Cologne police chief suggested that the perpetrators had come from countries where such sexual assaults by groups of men against women are common.[19] That suggestion was confirmed in a Federal Criminal Police Office report in June 2016, which also identified five more factors contributing to the occurrence of the attacks: group pressure, absence of police intervention, frustrations of migrants, disinhibition caused by alcohol and/or drug use, and disinhibition due to lack of social ties with indigenous German society.[20]

        New Year’s Eve in Cologne: 5 years after the mass assaults
        Ralf Bosen
        12/31/2020 December 31, 2020

        On New Year’s Eve 2015, hundreds of women were mobbed and sexually assaulted during celebrations in the western German city of Cologne. German politics and society were forever changed.

        The atmosphere was uninhibited, aggressive. Fireworks were pointed at people, passers-by harassed, cellphones and wallets were stolen. The police were surprised and overwhelmed; there were too few officers on duty.

        The situation soon escalated completely. It came to especially “abominable” scenes as German Chancellor Angela Merkel would later describe it. Packs of men were hunting down women, cornering many of them. There were sexual assaults, rapes.”

      JAY SAY … Some were doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, while others were threatened with guns, made to watch “brutally violent rapes” and warned they would be next if they told anyone.

      In just over a third of cases, the victims were previously known to social services because of child protection and neglect issues.

      Prof Jay wrote in her report: “By far the majority of perpetrators were described as ‘Asian’ by victims, yet throughout the entire period, councillors did not engage directly with the Pakistani-heritage community to discuss how best they could jointly address the issue.

      “Some councillors seemed to think it was a one-off problem, which they hoped would go away.”

    “I’m a dietitian who ate ultra-processed food for a month to prove it’s not so bad – the results were shocking.

    She found eating this way helped gave her more energy, helped her stay full for longer, and generally, she said on Instagram, ‘feel a whole hell of a lot better’.

    She noted on an recap of the diet that a ‘noticeable gap’ had appeared in the leash she wears around her waist to walk her dog during the month, suggesting she had even lost weight.

    These results are likely evidence that she hadn’t been eating enough calories before starting the diet, Ms Wilson said. Eating these pre-packaged foods actually gave her the amount of calories she needed to go about her day with energy, she suggested.

    In her eyes, it’s important to consider that there are many ways to use processed foods, and that making them seem all bad makes it harder for people to get the cost-effective nutrition that some processed foods afford.

    She added: ‘Both experiences are real. The public deserves to hear more than one version of a story,’ Ms Wilson said. ”

    “Bertie is a member of the Drones Club, and most of his friends and fellow Drones members depicted in the stories attended one or both of these institutions with him. It was at Oxford that he first began celebrating the night of the annual Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge. Though ordinarily he drinks in moderation, Bertie says he is “rather apt to let myself go a bit” on Boat Race night, typically drinking more than usual and making mischief with his old school friends. Specifically, Bertie and others tend to celebrate the occasion by stealing a policeman’s helmet, though they often get arrested as a result. London magistrates are aware of this tradition and tend to be lenient towards Bertie when he appears in court the morning after the Boat Race, generally only imposing a fine of five pounds; while this would have constituted a significant amount of money for many people at the time, Bertie has no trouble paying it. “

    “Pakistani Armed Groups Obtain U.S. Weapons Left Behind In Afghanistan.

    The Taliban seized the arms following the fall of the Western-backed Afghan government during the chaotic U.S. withdrawal, giving the hard-line Islamist group a vast war chest.

    Since the Taliban takeover, some of the American military gear and weapons have turned up in neighboring Pakistan, where they have been used by armed groups, according to experts and security officials.

    Observers say the influx of U.S. weapons has boosted the military capabilities of the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militant group and ethnic Baluch separatist groups that are waging insurgencies against the government in Pakistan, which has witnessed a surge in violence over the past two years.”

    A man who threw items towards Reform UK leader Nigel Farage during his general election campaign has been handed a suspended prison sentence.
    Josh Greally, from Chesterfield, was filmed throwing objects while Mr Farage was travelling on an open-top bus in Barnsley on 11 June.
    Barnsley Magistrates’ Court heard Greally, 28, had gone to the town as part of a planned protest against Mr Farage.
    Greally, who had previously pleaded guilty to a charge of using threatening, abusive, insulting words and behaviour with intent to cause fear, was given a six-week prison sentence suspended for 12 months.

    “Starmer plots OUTDOOR smoking ban: Leaked plans reveal PM’s aim to stop people lighting up in pub gardens, near football grounds and in children’s parks – sparking fears for hospitality sector and ‘nanny state’ accusations

    Smoking in nightclub smoking areas and restaurant terraces could be banned. Shisha bars could also be axed, with some pavements made smoke-free zones.

    But the King’s Speech made no mention of an outdoor ban.

    Brits will still be allowed to smoke in their own homes and large open spaces, like streets and parks.

    But other locations are said to be grey areas and still under discussion – including beaches and enclosed, popular parks.

    The report also mentions vape-free zones, although it is unclear whether the ban could also include e-cigarettes.

    The shock move is expected to spark fury towards Starmer’s party – with criticism of ‘nanny state’ politics and memos from the Business Department already warning the hospitality sector could be hit.

    Slamming the move, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage predicted: ‘It will be the end of pubs.'”

    I didn’t think it possible to hate this man any more and then:

    “This incendiary idea wasn’t in Labour’s manifesto, nor the King’s Speech.

    And we know why. The Tories ­dismissed it four years ago because “banning outdoor smoking would lead to significant closures and job losses”.We never thought any Government would care so little for personal freedom, not to mention livelihoods and the economy, to ban smoking outdoors.

    That this new law could even engulf vaping, the most effective anti-smoking pastime ever, shows how absurd it is.

    The health concerns the Government has swallowed sound utterly spurious. How many of us get cancer from a whiff of second-hand smoke in a pub garden?

    For our pubs, though, it IS a death knell.

    Labour’s Business Department made the same objection but was overruled.

    Again and again the Government says economic growth is its No1 priority.

    Again and again it makes ideological decisions all but designed to destroy it.”

      Meera Solanki, 29, was attacked in a Birmingham bar after confronting a man who told Mandy Huang, 28, to “take your f**king coronavirus and take it back home”.
      West Midlands Police have launched an investigation into the assault, one of a string of reported racist attacks across in the country linked to coronavirus.

      Ms Solanki, a trainee lawyer, was celebrating her birthday when her attacker began to harass her friends. After continually bothering and attempting to spit at the group, the man allegedly began shouting racist slurs at Ms Huang.

      “I was shocked and angry so I shouted for him to stop and tried to push him away,” Ms Solanki told the Sunday Mercury. “He punched me in the head, I hit the pavement and was knocked unconcious.”

      She was taken by ambulance to Heartlands Hospital where she spent six hours while being treated for concussion, the local newspaper reported. She was not able to work for a week after the attack.”

      According to my calculations Andy, this government has decided to stop the winter fuel payments to pensioners, to fund the feckless lifestyle of the laziest dross who decide to contribute nothing to their communities and our country by never working for a living.

      The actual sums involved are that paying the idle feral dregs of society to do nothing, costs almost exactly ONE HUNDRED TIMES MORE than the winter fuel payments per annum.

      Two tier taxing in action yet again, with the work-shy getting preference over the most vulnerable citizens in our society…

      Starmer and Reeves are turning into the most rotten ministers this country has ever seen! Older more statesmen-like Labour politicians like Attlee or Gaitskell must be spinning in their graves!

        There is a printer company somewhere in the UK that is always used by socialist worker w*nkers to print their standard corex posters with wooden batons.

        The posters are then handed out en-masse to the welfare occupants of free coach trips for any rent-a-commie protest.

        I would give my eye teeth to see a comedy sketch with the owner of this company refusing to hand over his wooden batons to some OAPs wanting to burn them to keep warm this winter.

    In a week when our BBC scratches around, desperate to unearth some disability-related tales purporting to be vaguely news worthy… Paralympics innit…!

    Tanni Grey-Thompson forced to ‘crawl off’ train… ‘It’s exhausting’ – Tanni Grey-Thompson on travelling as a disabled passenger (BBC)

    Disabled woman uses bed built for her when she was 8… after she was unable to get funding… from their council (BBC)

    Then suddenly… apparently out of nowhere… actual news drops… like manna from heaven…

    Man in wheelchair stabbed to death in east London (BBC)

    What are the chances of that? – As absurdist comic Harry Hill used to say. Actually, a stabbing, in London, these days… is a pretty damned regular occurence.

    Two men, aged 28 and 21, have been arrested and remain in custody at an east London police station, the Met said in a statement… Det Ch Supt James Conway said… “I am grateful for the patience of the local residents of Clapton” (BBC)

    What, none of the usual reassurance for the disabled community from our cops?

    “Our thoughts are with the family of the victim at this difficult time. The public can expect to see continued and significant police activity in the local area as we continue with our rigorous investigation.” (BBC) – in other words you might be met with the unusual sight of a few uniformed plod milling about on foot in the area… for a short while at least.

    In other Olympic news: Sir Ben Ainslie has been robbed of his Rolex watch at knifepoint in Barcelona… The most successful Olympic sailor of all time was threatened with a knife by a group who took his Rolex, worth €20,000 (£16,858), on Saturday night, newspaper La Vanguardia reported. (A debut hereabouts – by proxy in the BBC report – for Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia)

    Luckily, our Sir Ben is 100% on-message: Sir Ben said in a statement: “Barcelona is a fantastic host city for the America’s Cup. The team has felt welcomed and is enjoying our stay in this vibrant city. Like in all big cities, you can be affected by opportunistic crime” (BBC)

    Vibrant, eh? That’s become somewhat of a synonym for crime these days.

    And as our very own Mayor ‘Maybe It’s Because I’m A Londoner’ Sadiq Khan is wont to say: Sadiq Khan says terror attacks are ‘part and parcel of life in a big city’ (The Standard, March 2017)

    The gynaeceum that is BBC news staff like the Labour-supporting Daily Mirror as their top pick for their online newspaper frontpage line-up this morning. And why wouldn’t they?

    The Mirror goes with: Brexit Reset

    There’s not quite such a positive spin from the junior poundshop Graun which is the ‘i’ newspaper: Starmer must give way on youth migration to get softer Brexit, EU sources claim

    Can anyone explain the EU’s obsession with exporting their unemployment? Perhaps I’ve just answered my own question.

    Whereas talk of open borders conjures imaginings of sexy jobs in Paris, Rome and Berlin – perhaps even vibrant Barcelona – for a generation of our kids, in contrast for the globalist big corporate-minded FT it’s more a matter of unskilled cheap labour: Starmer seeks Europe ‘reset’… The joint declaration by London and Berlin made mention of “increased people-to-people contacts”… intended to foster a “closer relationship” on the economy, defence and educational and cultural “exchanges” – all vague in the extreme and with scant detail but read a tentative return to free movement, a block to any post-Brexit hopes of regulatory divergence and the European army.

    Scantily clad Demi Moore is your pin-up on the cover of the Mirror: Moore the merrier… Demi on her new film about ageing… see page 3 – shades of the old blokey tabloid Sun page 3 there.

    The OG Sun goes with: Kaia’s a model daughter… Cindy’s £144m mini-me & the catwalk heiresses – as their frontpage glamour puss pic – for those celeb uninititated hereabouts that’s Cindy Crawford’s catwalk model daughter Kaia Gerber

    Don’t imagine the celeb pin-up pic (with added granddad nostalgia twist) is the sole preserve of the red top tabloids…

    Beetlejuice chic… Jenna Ortega attends the premier of her new film… wearing a dress similar to that worn by Winona Ryder in the original 1988 film. (Telegraph); The next big thing: Jenna Ortega dazzles in Venice (the ever-excitable Daily Mail)

    Meanwhile, in the woke corner…

    Performers at the opening ceremony for the Paralympics last night – as pictured in the Guardian you’ll notice wheelchair dancers actually looking somewhat less diverse and gender-fluid right-on than the performers we recall at the mainstream Olympics opening event.

    Chorlton and the Wheelies was an animated children’s television series that ran in 1976 to 1978 on ITV. The show followed the adventures of Chorlton, an anthropomorphic “happiness dragon”, in “Wheelie World” (where people moved on wheels instead of legs). (Thank you Wiki)

    Just for some balance against all these girlie glamour pin-ups for the dads today let’s bow out with some hardcore feminism care of the left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper…

    ‘I have no pension, my husband’s is huge – I feel trapped with him for life’ – Calm down, luv. Where to even begin uncorking the complex sentiments of that would-be whine aunt?

    RE Pinnochio Starmer and “freedom of movement” from Germany:

    “increased people-to-people contacts”

    You could put it that way, from previous post above:

    Cologne New Years Eve:

    “In many of the incidents, while these women were in public spaces, they were surrounded and assaulted by large groups of men who were identified by officials as Arab or North African men.

    The situation soon escalated completely. It came to especially “abominable” scenes as German Chancellor Angela Merkel would later describe it. Packs of men were hunting down women, cornering many of them. There were sexual assaults, rapes.”

    How vibrant is that ?

    The Notting Hill mob being so utterly and unreservedly outvibranted must be rather envious, only a bronze medal this year, although stabbings shows future promise.

      An MP has been criticised for downplaying the Cologne sex attacks by comparing them to harassment of women during a typical night out in Birmingham.

      Hundreds of women in the German city were subjected to sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve, 2015.

      Jess Phillips, Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, said it was akin to “heckling” on Birmingham’s Broad Street.

      Mrs Phillips made her comments on Thursday’s BBC Question Time.

      She was speaking during a debate about how many refugees should be allowed into Britain, in which an audience member suggested events in Cologne – said to have been carried out by migrants – proved mass immigration did not work.

        If I was the family of one of the victims I would have smacked her in the mouth:

        ““Sexual crimes took place on a huge scale,” said the police president, Wolfgang Albers. “The crimes were committed by a group of people who from appearance were largely from the north African or Arab world.”

        One investigator told the Kölner Express: “The female victims were so badly pushed about, they had heavy bruises on their breasts and behinds.”

        He said one of the victims had been raped. A volunteer policewoman was among those said to have been sexually assaulted.

        One of the victims, identified only as Katja L, told the Kölner Express: “When we came out of the station, we were very surprised by the group we met, which was made up only of foreign men … We walked through the group of men, there was a tunnel through them, we walked through … I was groped everywhere. It was a nightmare. Although we shouted and hit them, they men didn’t stop. I was horrified and I think I was touched around 100 times over the 200 metres.”

        “Michelle told the BBC News how she and her friends became surrounded by between 20 and 30 men, who were speaking a foreign language.

        “They grabbed our arms… pushed our clothes away, and tried to get between our legs or I don’t know where. ”

        “One woman, whose identity has been protected, told German television how gangs of men assaulted her in the crowd.

        “All of a sudden these men around us began groping us,” she said. “They touched our behinds and grabbed between our legs. They touched us everywhere.”

        “Once victim, named as Busra, spoke of a sense of lawlessness outside the station, where the attackers felt they could do as they pleased.

        “They felt like they were in power and that they could do anything with the women who were out in the street partying,” she said.

        “They touched us everywhere. It was truly terrible.”

        “Muriel described through tears how she was sexually assaulted by a large group of men.

        “We were fondled, I was touched between my legs. My friends also were fondled,” she said.
        “There were quite a big group of people, maybe 30 or 40. ”

      Yup.
      I was waiting for one of these cases to prove beyond any doubt that we live in a society infested by the Left and has extreme bias against anyone right-wing and white.

      6 weeks suspended for throwing lumps of concrete at a politician during an election campaign. Which is far more serious than throwing something at some police – which got them 2 years + in jail.

      I don’t condone either, but there is something very very wrong with our ‘establishment’ and the justice system now. It’s been creeping up on us for years but this highlights just how extreme it is now.

      I fully expect Starmer told judges to be very severe on those Right-Wing people. But the same problem lets him do that and we are never told. It’s fascism in it’s purest form. The suppression of opposition.

    ‘I stole to order’ says prolific ex-shoplifter
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czdpvd41z7mo

    By some bizarre rift in the the world of logic, I see the BBC have made this the top story in the world today.

    That alone was enough for me to take a look. Because I was 100% certain it would not just be a story about some crack-head thief.

    And sure enough, it’s not about him at all. They are actually making him out to be the victim:

    First we get:
    ‘Ross, 39, told the BBC he had been clean of drugs for five months and was “ashamed” of his actions, which he blamed on the “desperation” of his addiction.’
    No he isn’t BBC. He would do the same again tomorrow without conscience.

    Then after lots of waffle telling us how much money it costs to counter shoplifting, we get:
    ‘Ross called for more support for people with drug and mental health issues, adding: “If I would have got help, it might have been a different life.”‘
    Got that ?. It’s not his fault.
    Then:
    ‘Despite his convictions dating back as far as 2006, he said he was never offered drug treatment beyond a methadone prescription and voluntarily attending Narcotic Anonymous meetings.’
    So he was offered treatment then.
    ‘A psychiatric report read out at his most recent court appearance said he was “highly likely” to have ADHD which, along with along with a “severely traumatic” early childhood, led to addiction.’
    Then:
    ‘In Leeds, the wait for an ADHD assessment is at least three years’

    22 convictions. Never sent to prison. Tell that to the protestors jailed for more than a year just for what they said.

    The entire tone of this ridiculous article is that Ross is a poor victim and it’s not his fault. It’s because we don;t give enough taxpayers money to fund all the people needed to take all the responsibilities of life for him.

    How very ‘socialist’ of you BBC. Who takes care of all the others who didn’t take crack+ heroin and didn’t go shoplifting ?.

    Ross is a piece of sh*t. The BBC treat him like a decent person who society didn’t take care of. There is no limit to what these idiots will do to make ‘victims’ they can then write their empathy about.

    What Ross doesn’t realise is the BBC don’t actually care about him one bit. They won’t bat an eyelid if he dies of a drug overdose tomorrow. He’s served his purpose and another BBC idiot is secretly excited about their next incestuous awards ceremony.

    Two tier – from the DT
    STARTS man berated three women “prostitutes” for not wearing traditional Asian dress and putting on make-up, then violently attacked them, a court heard.

    Muhammad Hassan, 26, assaulted the victims after spotting them at a petrol station in Bradford.

    In a 51-second attack captured on CCTV, Hassan grabbed the driver and slammed her head on to the dashboard of her vehicle.

    He then grabbed another woman’s hair and punched her in the head before hitting the third woman.

    Hassan, from Bradford, was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for two years.

    Ayman Khokhar, prosecuting, told Bradford Crown Court Hassan knew the three women.

    The group had stopped for fuel at the Prince of Wales Service Station on Harrogate Road while on their way to a dinner on May 25.

    Hassan pulled up alongside the women and appeared to be “refuelling his car slowly on purpose”, the court heard.

    The women decided to wait until he had left before getting out of their vehicle as Hassan had previously objected to their non-traditional dress and make-up.

    He called them “slags” and “prostitutes” and demanded that they dress conservatively, the court heard.

    After paying for his fuel, Hassan marched to the women’s car and punched and pushed them before driving off while the women called 999.

    The victims suffered swelling, bruises, red marks and scratches.

    Hassan remained silent during a police interview but later admitted affray.

    ‘Extremely abusive and violent incident’

    Mr Khokhar said: “In broad daylight, he has attacked three females at a petrol station. The offence appears to be motivated by sexist attitudes towards women.”

    Mitigating, Fuad Arshad said his client believed the women “played some role in how a marriage ended” but accepted his actions were “unjustified”.

    Judge Colin Burn said: “Whatever the motivation was for this, it’s still utterly inadequate to justify the violence that you perpetrated against [the victims] when they were sitting in a car effectively cowering from you.

    “The three people on the receiving end of your violence were women who were in a vulnerable situation.

    “This was an extremely abusive, controlling and violent incident.”

    The sentence handed down included 35 rehabilitation activities, 180 hours of unpaid work, electronic tagging for four months and £500 costs.ENDS

    And the BBC are part of this religious cult: (they even sponsor it, promote it and feature it daily, hourly, weekly…, every BBC channel they own (worldwide). the same ‘green’ message. Repeated day after day.

    BBC not mentioned here specifically in the film – but clearly they are very much part of the religious cult ‘net zero’ (that we recognise as BBC specific and a Labour led induction feed). In the film -that will inevitably lead to war and collapse of western culture is hard to ignore.. China /Soviet structure still intact…. and the BBC will not exist as ‘British’- but then it never was…since its been taken over… along with all our cultural institutions… by the insidious cult of ‘net zero’ cultural climate change. Fear and loathing…everything must change to appease the new lords and gods they have created. It’s all out war.

      Scientism is everywhere you look around you in our degenerate world. It’s not just religious leaders who spin yarns and create cults. Hellenistic pagans and those who call themselves ‘rational’ scientists do too. The story of evolution is part of it. It’s no less a narrative than the story of creation found in many ancient texts. It’s so lacking in evidence they had to use a hoax to try and get people into believing it.
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man
      Since society is so controlled they succeeded for decades in getting away with this.
      Part of the grand delusion is to convince you their story is true.
      ‘He who tells the stories rules society’ – Plato, their hero.
      This is why you have climate science ‘imbeciles’ convincing you they are doing real science.

      They are not, but people fail to go beyond this point. If climate science is BS, what else is?
      Well if you start digging you begin to find almost all of it.
      “The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, so that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.”
      You cannot run away from the truth. Not Starmer, not Milliband, not even Klaus.
      Given what has been transpiring in the world over the last few decades I would sooner put my trust in the truth and not trust any Kill Gates paid for ‘scientist’.

    URGENT…ADVICE NEEDED..

    Brave Mr Starmer who is tackling so much for us…but despite putting so many of his pals and cheerleaders into top civil service jobs , somehow he is getting so many basic facts wrong…yes.wrong , because he could nt possibly be misleading us deliberately could he?

    His trip to Germany, it is said,( the BBC are trumpeting this as a good thing) is to boost trade and a new “agreement” is to be signed……BUT. there wont be any mention of trade because germany cannot do any deals with GB .. only Brussells can do that, its the whole point of the EU. Only the Union can cut a deal.

    Oh dear , poor old Keir, made to look a clown and a liar, if only he had a lawyer or some such person, obviously a barrister would be best , someone who could advise him on the basics…wait a minute , isn’t he a lawyer of sorts……surely some mistake.something stinks here.

      Starmer sounding out the Franco German Reich on thr conditions for rejoining the EU – trade first then full membership . Can they get it done by 2029? Can they do it without a referendum ? Or a fixed ‘referendum ‘ using the Obama method …
