The latest in a long line of BBC sex offenders got a suspended sentence – sending out a sign that it’s okay to abuse . But what is it about the BBC that there are so many who don’t know the difference between right and wrong ? Or was that question just answered .?

The Labour government’s potential expat exit tax will drive foreign direct investment outside of the UK, according to Vanesha Kistoo, head of the French desk at Blick Rothenberg.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is being urged to introduce CGT exit charges on people when they are leaving the UK in the upcoming October Budget.

They way they say it, “Those with the broadest shoulders should pay a little bit more” sounds reasonable when they keep coming out with it.
Just like Communism sounds reasonable on paper.
Of course, they use this ‘pay just a little bit more” to say how they will pay for every one of their giveaways.
Do the pensioners have ‘broad shoulders’?
Those getting about £12,000 a year to live on paying ‘just a little bit more’ (WFP and probably a few more things like single occupancy, bus passes and anything else they can think of)

Over a decade has passed since the Westminster expenses scandal of 2009. It is widely regarded as one of the factors, together with the banking crisis and the absence of a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, which led to popular contempt for the political class, the growth of UKIP, and thus the outcome of the 2016 referendum.

Jack Straw, the minister in charge of the bill, added them to the list of public authorities in Schedule 1 to the Act, and is said to have regretted it ever since. Individual MPs and peers were not then – and are not now – regarded as public authorities. But the House authorities were subject to the Act, and since they administered the expenses system and held the information on MPs’ claims, it became disclosable.

As long as their pensions are safe, that’s all that matters.
The largest four schemes are for the civil service, armed forces, NHS and teachers. Public sector workers and their employers made £44bn in contributions, leaving a net cost of £1bn to the taxpayer, around £37 a household. This pension pay gap figure hit £10bn in 2019 – or £357 per household.
The UK net debt is now 100% of the output of the UK for 1 year – £13.7 billion borrowed last month against £10 billion last year …

” How ‘Ponzi scheme’ public sector pensions threaten to bankrupt Britain.
‘Scandalous’ system will rack up a multi-trillion pound bill that taxpayers will pay.
The public sector pension “Ponzi scheme” will blow a multi-trillion pound hole in Britain’s finances, a senior economist has warned.
Former Bank of England economist and author, Neil Record, said it was an “absolute scandal” that successive governments had failed to confront the “appalling situation” head on.
He warned that when the system finally becomes unaffordable, the Government will need to find money elsewhere to plug the pensions gap – at a cost to taxpayers of £50bn a year and rising.
In the meantime, the cost of paying all pensions promises made so far has swelled to £4.9 trillion – almost twice the national debt of around £2.7 trillion.
Analysis of government accounts for The Telegraph also reveals the true cost of funding the gold-plated retirement incomes that are guaranteed to rise in line with inflation.
NHS pensions currently cost taxpayers the equivalent of 82pc of salaries, more than six times what even the highest earning workers actually pay in.
It comes as some schools are also offering pay rises for staff willing to leave the generous Teachers’ Pension Scheme amid long term funding concerns.
Unions have defended the schemes and say they are “anything but excessive”.
Salary-linked pension schemes in the private sector must have enough assets to fund the projected amount they will pay out, known as their pension liabilities. They are regularly valued and if they’re not sufficiently funded, a recovery plan is required.
Public sector pensions, however, are exempt. It means that contributions made by employers and employees are not set aside, let alone invested in a fund to pay future pensions.
Instead, retirees are paid from current tax income. This has stored up a series of potential problems – which could one day threaten the entire system, Mr Record said.
The first is that contributions do not cover pensions payments. The Government spent £45bn on approximately 5.3 million pensions in 2022-23, according to the Treasury’s latest analysis. The largest four schemes are for the civil service, armed forces, NHS and teachers.”

The covid vaccine witch hunt continues as another dissenting doctor is punished
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/the-witch-hunt-continues/
“Dr White was an experienced General Practitioner who, like many others, found himself conflicted between his NHS practice expecting him to promote Covid-19 vaccines to his patients, while seeing increasing numbers of people with vaccine injuries. After much soul-searching he resigned from his post in February 2021. A few months later, in June 2021, he recorded a short face-to-camera video explaining why he had decided to quit, which he then posted on a social media site. Perhaps to his surprise, it was viewed by millions and within a few days had come to the attention of his employer, namely NHS England. They blocked him from any NHS work, a move which he legally challenged. A General Medical Council (GMC) investigation followed and his NHS suspension was reversed, but an Interim Orders Tribunal put conditions on his registration, namely that he must not use social media to express any medical opinion about the pandemic.”

Earlier posts are mentioning that the Covid originated ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ in the market beside the Wuhan Lab working on this very virus.
What are the chances of that.
Of all the markets in the world, the one to be blamed for this virus just happens to be beside the Lab working on this virus.
And they expect us to believe that.

Yes, although I have been to some of those markets in China, shocking, rivers of blood running across the concrete floor everywhere, cows heads in buckets, live fish in small plastic boxes flapping away in 6 inches of water, piles of offal on plastic tables….
I can well imagine the lab and the market together provided ideal conditions for any virus to rapidly propogate.
Especially if the lab workers fancied a cows head and offal sandwich for lunch at their desk.

Keir Starmer is once again feeling the heat for his time as Director of Public Prosecutions. Back in 2008, Fayed, the owner of Harrods, was quizzed by the Met Police after a 15-year-old girl accused him of assaulting her at his luxury store. Though in 2009, the CPS, headed by Starmer, dismissed the case as there were “no realistic prospect of conviction”.

Mainstream media headlines today are focused on Britain’s record national debt, which just surpassed £1 trillion, a figure that can only exponentially increase unless the entire mechanism of Government finance is overhauled. The truth however is much worse, factoring in all liabilities including state and public sector pensions, the real national debt is closer to £4.8 trillion, some £78,000 for every person in the UK.

Why UK can’t just return migrants to France, as Reform says
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyxeedx40d8o
So here it is : the titan-of-truth BBC Verify are going to answer my age old question of why we don’t just tow the migrants back to France, dump them on the shore then burn the boat. It would stop the crossings overnight and all their precious innocent-victim asylum-seekers (mostly young males who throw all ID into the sea and make up a story) would be safe on dry land.
And what do they tell me ?.
We can’t because we would have to ask France if they mind if we do it.
So either we’ve not asked France or we did and France said no. BBC verify don’t tell us which it is. And if the French said no, I wonder what all the money we are sending them is being spent on.
The even go as far as to infer it is an act of war if we even try.
So that’s it. The most pathetic excuse I have ever heard. And if it’s the best they can do, it shows there is no proper reason at all.
But of course they had no interest at all in presenting the full truth here. The whole purpose was to try and discredit something Reform said which is very popular with British people.

JC.
Don’t the French realise that if we could return them instead of collecting them, they would eventually get the message that they are wasting their time.
They will move on to somewhere else.
The dinghies would cease to be a problem as the hordes of ‘asylum seekers’ would leave northern France for somewhere easier to get to.
Problem solved.
You would think that they don’t want to stop them……..”don’t they”???
Cometh the hour, cometh the man, I think.
The uk needs someone in the mould of Viktor Orban in the PM job. Or Georgia Meloni. There’s something of the warrior about her.
The conversation would go along these lines :-
“We’re going to be sending chartered ferries across to you loaded up with these invaders”
“You can’t do that! European rights, fleeing war zones, they have landed in the uk now. It would be very naughty and not at all nice”.
“Very interesting, now piss off”.
We haven’t got a party with the balls to do this, but we need one. Something along the lines of the German AFD. We will get that only when the party appears and people vote for them. In the meantime we deserve the ones we elect.
Right now, I am watching the coaches from Hungary to Brussels with interest.
Absolutely : if they intercepted every boat and took everyone on it back to France – even if it was already on our beach – it would put all the people smugglers out of business overnight. No need to chase them down.
But they won’t even consider it and here we have ‘BBC Verify’ trying to infer it is impossible because we have to ask France first !. What nonsense.
Just take them back and dump them then sort out the paperwork later.
As far as I can tell, this is the BBC clone idiot reponsible for this rubbish. 100% another quota staff who the ‘proper’ BBC departments don’t want. There can’t be many Tamara Kovacevic’s in the UK.

‘In fact, Article 19 of UNCLOS says that if a “foreign ship” enters another country’s territorial waters it will “be considered to be prejudicial to the peace” if “it engages in the loading or unloading of any… person contrary to the immigration laws” of that country. ‘
But not about illegal migrnats breaking the law…then they’re ‘undocumented’ or ‘irregular’.

The hypocrisy of these murderous bastards is little short of astounding:
“Responding to news of the reported killing of senior Hezbollah operative Aqil, Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati accused Israel of giving ‘no weight to any humanitarian, legal or moral considerations.'”
“Don’t Forget, or Deny, Hezbollah’s Brutal Crimes.
Now, as then, Hezbollah denies, in the face of all evidence, responsibility for crimes we know it has committed around the world. Consider a few examples:
Despite growing suspicion of Hezbollah’s involvement in the Syrian conflict, Hezbollah denied the accusations in early 2011, assuring that it had no “military role in Arab countries.” Yet over time, Hezbollah increasingly struggled to conceal its on-the-ground support of the Assad regime. Most funerals for those killed in the fighting were quiet affairs, as Hezbollah tried to keep a lid on the extent of its activities in Syria, but news began to leak. In August 2012, two funerals were held for Hezbollah military commanders. According to Hezbollah newspapers, each had “died while performing his jihadi duty” in Syria. U.S. officials informed the UN Security Council in October 2012, “the truth is plain to see: Nasrallah’s fighters are now part of Assad’s killing machine.” Two months later, a UN report confirmed Hezbollah members were in Syria fighting on behalf of the Assad government.
In February 2016, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) implicated Hezbollah in a multi-million-dollar drug trafficking and money laundering network that spanned four continents. According to the DEA report, Hezbollah had relationships with South American drug cartels in a cocaine-smuggling network to Europe and the U.S. The proceeds funded a money laundering scheme known as the Black Market Peso Exchange and provided Hezbollah with “a revenue and weapons stream.”
The investigation’s implication of Hezbollah was met with the usual dismissal. “The criminal regimes are falsely accusing Hezbollah of corruption and money laundering in order to destabilize the party,” Nasrallah said in May.
Beyond Syria and transnational crime, Hezbollah continues to engage in — and deny any connection to — terrorist plots around the globe. Peruvian counterterrorism police arrested Mohammed Amadar, a Hezbollah operative, in late 2014. When Amadar was arrested, police found traces of TNT, detonators, and chemicals used to manufacture explosives in and around his Lima home. Intelligence indicated Amadar’s targets included places associated with Israelis and Jews in Peru. Hezbollah-linked Al-Manar news derided the case as “another Mossad manoeuver against Hezbollah,” saying that Amadar’s confession was coerced.
In June 2015, Cypriot officials indicted Hussein Bassam Abdallah, a dual Lebanese-Canadian citizen. Abdallah pled guilty to all eight charges against him — including participation in a terrorist group (read: Hezbollah), possessing explosives (8.2 tons of ammonium nitrate), and conspiracy to commit a crime. It was the second time in three years that a Cypriot court had sentenced a Hezbollah operative to prison for plotting an attack in Cyprus. Once again, Hezbollah denied involvement.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah’s support for terrorist groups in the Gulf region also continues unabated. In January, Bahraini authorities detained six members of a Hezbollah-linked terror cell blamed for the July 2015 explosion outside of a girls’ school in Sitra that killed two people. In February, the Yemeni government asserted evidence of “Hezbollah fighting alongside [Houthis] in attacks on Saudi Arabia’s border.” It should therefore not surprise that the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization for committing hostile acts within GCC member states’ borders. The Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation followed suit within weeks.
Hezbollah’s response? To deny the accusations and accuse the Saudis in turn of trying to “silence” Hezbollah because of its refusal to “be silent on the crimes the Saudis are committing in Yemen and elsewhere.”
Contrary to its denials, Hezbollah continues to engage in illicit activities around the world. This week, as we mark the anniversary of two of Hezbollah’s most spectacular attacks on opposite sides of the globe — from Bulgaria to Argentina — it is high time to a call spade a spade: Hezbollah is a social and political movement in Lebanon, but engages in terrorist, military, criminal activities there, and around the world. Its legitimate activities in Lebanon should not be a free pass for its illegitimate conduct.”
https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/dont-forget-or-deny-hezbollahs-brutal-crimes
Hezbollah, as we were told today in a long, unchallenged propaganda piece, is a ‘resistance movement’….resisting Jewish oppression and war crimes.
Odd how we hear that Israel’s actions are ‘escalating tensions and dangers’ by attacking Hezbollah…the same Hezbollah that has sent over 7,000 rockets into Israel since Oct 7 last year forcing 60,000 Israelis to flee their homes…but Hezbollah, as we heard on the BBC today, are not targeting, directly or indirectly, civilians…unlike the war criminal Israelis.
How many rockets do you need for it to become a dangerous escalation?
It’s a very one-sided portrayal of events that leads of course to the demonisation of Israel.
Only yesterday we had dramatist Peter Kosminsky on R4 telling us that the Jews had become Nazis treating Palestinians as the Nazis had treated the Jews….naturally forgetting that the Muslims have launched 3 wars against Israel and conducted a savage terrorist campaign against it for over 70 years…all intended to wipe out the Jews….erm…you know what…that sounds pretty Nazi to me. No push back from the BBC of course.

Always interesting what the BBC does and does not report.
They report this….
‘Australia strips officers’ medals for war crimes culture’
But fail to report this which was running at the same time….Australian SAS soldier falsely accused of war crimes and a media station, ABC, that faked its reports…..you might think the Spring would be all over it…but as always, especially where it is woke media that is faking the news, Spring isn’t interested….which is odd given the power, trust and influence the MSM has…but Spring would rather go after ‘right-wing’ small fry on social media….
‘Always interesting what the BBC does and does not report.’
The lie by omission.
The most dirty and ethically barren way to do it.
And what the BBC do the most.
The Guardian think that people voted Labour in proportion to the seats in HoC …?
I reckon most folk with half a brain have figured that ain’t the case – 80% didn’t vote for Starmer’s crew.

Misery on C4 news as it is reported that the IDF have killed the head of hezbollah terrorist operations ( it didn’t use the word terrorist of course ) and a few of his mates well have been zapped too with a bit of luck ..
I was thinking how Bowen would report it – it was a mistake – the IDF failed to get all its ‘ targets – hezbollah will be more powerful now – bad news of Jews …. Then he’d read out a Hamas press release ….
Labour acting like a charity shop – will no longer take free clothes – how inferior can they get …
Yes, like a charity shop, with many sentenced to community service working for them.
‘Our husbands didn’t go to war for Ukraine so we can sit around crying”
Small typo there BBC:
‘Our husbands didn’t go to war for American and EU global interests so we can sit around crying”
Now I’m not pro-Russia in any way. But I can spot the truth when it stares me in the face.
My compelling evidence for the above is that the West do not want to stop this war. If anyone tried, they sabotaged the effort with some kind of escalation.
We live in an age of propaganda Goebbels would be proud of.
“PM will no longer accept donations for clothes”

They make it sound like he was doing people a favour ..
I missed out – I was about to send him some socks 🧦.. gloves and what’s that thing that goes around the neck called..
Ask Winnie Mandela.
Watching the documentary about the Muslim rapist – Mohammed fayed – the real story now ( apart from digging him up ) would be to track those who covered up for him ….
But I suspect the msm won’t go near it again …
But these girls he went into the same room as fayed – under any circumstance … are just …. Can’t think of the word …
You could substitute jimmy Seville in this- and any one described as ‘larger than life ‘ really needs a good look …
Policing for Some but Not Others
The treatment meted out to Hatun Tash by the Metropolitan Police is very illustrative of current police practice.

My question is, at what level are such operational decisions made, or is it the case that senior officers merely turn a blind eye? And the Home Secretary, whoever he or she happens to be, surely cannot be to blame?
