    World at one
    They interviewed a ‘pollster ‘ a full on Marxist who claimed the British people liked to be controlled . They like banns . Thr smoking thing will be popular … and he claimed that the programme often gave time to libertarians …. That was the moment my wireless went out the window ….

    I think the word ‘freedom ‘ should be banned – along with the concept ….

      SOON COMRADE … SOON … Arabs believe economy is weak under democracy
      Published
      6 July 2022
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-62001426

      Arabs are losing faith in democracy to deliver economic stability across the Middle East and North Africa, according to a major new survey.

      Nearly 23,000 people were interviewed across nine countries and the Palestinian territories for BBC News Arabic by the Arab Barometer network.

      Most agreed with the statement that an economy is weak under a democracy.

      Can’t think of many who view polls as anything other than a tool to feed credulous or complicit total BS data to serve as grist to their #prasnews propaganda efforts.

      The BBC will be one such.

    I notice that TTK wants free movement for the under 30’s as part of this deal with Germany.

    I was going to say that’s just the start and it would be extended once it’s up and running.

    I’ve just seen in the Sun that it’s now under 35’s so it’s being extended before it even happens. The end result would be making free movement for everybody (no borders)

    Everything he (TTK) is doing is horrendous for most normal people. When anybody asks when the boats will be stopping his followers say he’s only been in government for what is it, 9 weeks or so yet he has managed to get lots of spiteful things done like robbing pensioners and locking up Facebook posters.

    I think he will be the worst PM ever and this Labour government also the worst ever.

    It took them a while, but finally the BBC have addressed the questions surrounding the Lucy Letby conviction.

    However, they (as expected) are slyly trying to say she’s obviously guilty.

    However, if you read their own article, in summary it is this…(with some paraphrasing and bullshit detection and removal.)

    Loads of experts are saying her conviction is bollocks. Even the academic whose paper the prosecution used to convict Letby. He’s now saying ‘Bollocks. That’s not what I meant. Stop twisting what I said. I’ll speak for her defence now.’

    Experts on air embolism and isulin overdoses have explanations. The jury weren’t told she wasn’t on duty for at least five deaths. Nobody ever saw her doing anything dodgy. There was leaking sewerage in the roof which could have caused any number of medical emergencies in babies.

    I’m not saying she is innocent btw.

    Just that the ‘unbiased’ BBC shouldn’t be so obviously against her possible innocence.

    Imagine if she was innocent? Imagine going through that?

    Hopefully the evidence will be heard in full and these experts allowed to speak and any jury/panel not have important information ommited and told that such information was left out at the first trial.

    But the BBC will be doing all they can to keep her in jail, even if they find evidence of her innocence (imo).

      No one was able to “prove” anything against her, which by any metric, is truly terrifying if, like me you were arrested and investigated for 6 months on the words, NOTHING more, just the words, of someone else.

      Just for clarification, if a partner is on a marriage visa and the relationship breaks down they are required to return back to their home country, UNLESS they can get a successful police prosecution against you, then they can stay.

      I was lucky, this person was not. Different agendas at play but the same : not justice driven.

      I still suffer from the experience, God only knows what this person is going through.

      Home Office police comment to me: “We get a lot of that” so goodness knows how many more are suffering from false accusations.

        Indeed. The evidence of ‘she was the only one on duty all the time’ isn’t true for quite a few more incidents.

        I do have a family member who is a nurse and she says it scares a few nurses. As in they could be scapegoated and locked up forever. But she did say that she might have done it etc.

        Let’s see.

        I still think she’s become a political pawn and is screwed (evil honky).

            The most unpopular Primeminister EVER and all achieved within two months.

            He has vilified the real working class with their opinions on immigration with political trials and instant jail with no bail for those NOT involved in violence or disorder.

            He has proven himself a liar over and over again with his manifesto promises and pledges proven to be bullshit.

            He has decided to (probably) enact anti smoking legislation.

            He continues to blame the previous administration for any actions he takes, despite all economic data being available to his party before the election.

    So Starmer is considering banning smoking in pub outside spaces.

    Other than the fact that this will almost certainly kill off most of the side street locals, I would like to know why a bunch of elite anti-smokers have suddenly gained the absolute right to do this nazi shit out of nowhere.

    My suggestion is that pubs are given the option. If they want to keep smoking areas they simply put up a big notice at the door saying they have one. That way any nimby type could F off somewhere else if they didn’t like it while smokers could continue in.

    But of course we all know this isn’t about protecting non-smokers, it’s about punishing smokers which seems to be Starmers preferred course of action.

      I saw a big cat running across a field just outside Knebworth, whilst on a train to London.

      Funnily enough, I later found the following, the other side of those woods was:

      How one man’s crusade from a ramshackle sanctuary in Welwyn Garden City is helping the endangered cats of the Himalayas

      So it’s crucial Terry’s long-term plans for the Sikkim reserve go ahead. But he’s never prepared to compromise, and that means keeping his Welwyn centre private – viewers will be disappointed to learn that members of the public cannot pay to visit. But one visitor does drop by every February when the females are in heat.

      Amazingly, Terry says it’s another big cat. ‘We’ve seen leopard tracks outside the cages three years running,’ he says. ‘Somewhere around here, probably hunting rabbits and lambs, there’s a leopard – not one of ours!’

    We can learn a lot from watching how the BBC (and the Left in general) try to protect these people and hide the stories of their atrocities, terrorism and violence to preserve them as ‘victims’ for use as weapons against the Right. It takes a special kind of ideological monster to do that.

    Stabbing of the day report:

    Chilling moment boy, 17, stalks schoolgirl Holly Newton, 15, before stabbing her to death down an alley.

    The obsessed teenager left her with 36 injuries after stabbing her 12 times, slashing her 19 times, and causing five ‘defensive’ injuries in a frenzy which snapped the knife.

    He also stabbed her boyfriend, a 16-year-old boy, before members of the public tried to intervene.

      Zephir -every one of those cases where the murderer is granted secrecy of identity really cheeses me . There should be a public price to pay – including the kids ‘Family – if there is one .
      There should be a burden to publish unless the defence proves harm by doing so .

      The judge should have to explain the reason why identity was withheld . That should be the case in every trial of a 10 year old or older …
      The victim deserves it .

      “What’s going on in Brazil is very simple. Alexandre de Moraes, a judge, is a tyrant who knows he is above the law. He can do anything he wants, to anyone and anything, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it because the media and the establishment are completely under his thumb.

      Brazil is not a free country and he means to silence anyone — namely Elon Musk — who challenges him. All that’s left now is for the people to rise up over this tyranny, or live beneath it.”

    @ Tomo

    Venezuela, as deified by Corbyn and his acolytes (remind anyone of somewhere else closer to home ?):

    “The Nicolás Maduro government and its security forces are responsible for extrajudicial executions and short-term forced disappearances and have jailed opponents, prosecuted civilians in military courts, tortured detainees, and cracked down on protesters. They used a state of emergency implemented in response to Covid-19 as a pretext to intensify their control over the population. The lack of judicial independence contributed to impunity for these crimes. Judicial authorities have participated or been complicit in the abuses.

    A United Nations Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) identified patterns of violations and crimes that were part of a widespread and systematic course of conduct that it concluded amounted to crimes against humanity. In November 2021, International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan announced his decision to open an investigation into possible crimes against humanity committed in Venezuela.

    Venezuela is facing a severe humanitarian emergency, with millions unable to access basic healthcare and adequate nutrition.”

      Maduro had a sing-along regular weekend TV program when he replaced Hugo Chavez as El Presidente – it were proper bizarre.

      Can you imagine TTK gurning sternly at the lens and tickling the ivories weekly late Sunday afternoon like a strange reincarnation of Les Dawson?

      Those refusing to join in will be jailed.

    Now it’s claimed an American patriot missile got the American F16.

    “An F-16 in Ukraine was shot down by a Patriot complex of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, claims Maryana Bezuglaya, citing her own sources.

    The Rada deputy stated that this happened due to a lack of coordination between units. According to her, the reports indicate that the pilot lost control.”
