    TOADY Watch #1 – Mishal Husain 0 : 5 Israeli female spokesperson

    Oh dear! Mishal desperately wanted the Israeli spokesperson to say “yes, Israel was behind the exploding papers” but the woman just would not go there. She was tough. I wonder if she knew she was up against a Muslim Beeboid? That’s the result as I scored it. 🙂

      The IDF spoke staff are easily up to turning over any BBC droid . I’m sure they have full files on each one for the day they become full enemies …

      I’m sure the bbc would love to get shut down in Israel to provide the false legitimacy they crave

      They know there is no easy solution under current circumstances so will ignore it – despite it being the number one concern …. Even when the next third world murders take place they’ll focus on ‘ thoughts and prayers ‘ pushing the media to scream the message against dissent – protest – and remind everyone of the political trials of a dictatorship ….underTTK …

    Well, the Labour Party conference is proving to be entertaining, if nothing else…

    Hecklers, people being evicted, lots of booing and the nurses’ union rejecting their pay deal…well, after what the doctors and rail workers got, who could blame them?

    And did you see that God awful speech given by the incredibly robotic Rachel Reeves? She seems to possess all the emotional nuance of an autistic Dalek.

    The arse licking BBC described her speech as “uplifting”, FFS!

    And tomorrow we’ve got Two Tier Keir.

    Bring the popcorn…

    I wonder how many times TTK has been refused service?

    The landlord of The Raven pub on Queen Street shouted at Sir Keir, telling him to leave the premises.

    Mr Humphris shouted at Sir Keir: “That man is not allowed in my pub.”

    He went on to add: “Get out of my pub, go on get out of my pub!”

      What she is saying is that she hates people having personal mobility and the mad-marxists will do everything they can to stop people having their own method of transport. This so that the comrades can be kettled into the WEF beloved 15-minute cities.

      The bus model just does not work for the major parts of the country where people live in villages.

      Having massive buses with one passenger on-board churning up small country roads is bonkers.

        Funnily enough I live in a rural area and a couple of weeks ago our bus services were stopped by the Council without notice. There were only a handful of buses per day, and most of the services had one, two or no passengers at all. There was nothing earlier than eight in the morning and later than seven in the evening. It has been replaced by an on-demand bus service which has to be booked with an App, theoretically a good idea but most of the potential users are OAP’s without smartphones. There appears to be a history of non appearance, the App not working etc.
        Most of these Utopian ideas for transport that the left wingers and Greenies dream are just that. Dreams.

          I live in the middle of nowhere, with the occasional bus. The buses are fine if I want to get somewhere, but no chance that there is a bus to get home without waiting a couple of hours.

          The council where I used to work, offered a travel plan. I explained I was part time, needed to get my son to school and wanted to be at home to prepare Mr D’s lunch. The council plan involved getting the bus at 10am but a bus home at 3.30 which wasn’t fitting with my work hours, never mind Mr D’s lunch. Their alternative was for me to get a moped, great on icy rural roads or the very busy main route where I would have been lucky to have survived the first week without being killed.

    Just a little thought experiment:

    Imagine, for a moment, if it was the Conservative party that had restricted the winter fuel allowance, or made it means tested…

    Could you picture the endless spit ridden howls of outrage from the far left, the purple haired pierced public protests around the country with socialist worker party placards ready made, the vicious and foul language and threats directed at the tories on social media, the bbc publishing endless stories about freezing pensioners for weeks on end and relentlessly gunning for the resignation of the minister responsible.

    Instead we have silence from the far left, and the biased far left bbc publishing stories about rich pensioners who don’t need the fuel allowance and defending the minister responsible.

      When folk think about Starmer it is worth considering the last words of Alexander Litvinenko:

      In his last statement he said about Putin:

      “…this may be the time to say one or two things to the person responsible for my present condition. You may succeed in silencing me but that silence comes at a price. You have shown yourself to be as barbaric and ruthless as your most hostile critics have claimed. You have shown yourself to have no respect for life, liberty or any civilised value. You have shown yourself to be unworthy of your office, to be unworthy of the trust of civilised men and women. You may succeed in silencing one man but the howl of protest from around the world will reverberate, Mr Putin, in your ears for the rest of your life. May God forgive you for what you have done, not only to me but to beloved Russia and its people.[48]”

    Talking to Andrew Marr, Thornberry managed to admit that murderous communist Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was a “divisive figure”, before heading into a praise-filled diatribe for the regime:

    “I went to to Cuba in the early 1990s when there was a great economic difficulties in that country and I found a country that was egalitarian with a fantastic health service… in my view it was a brave island that stood against a regime that for 50 years would not trade with it and would not let other countries trade with it too.”

    This video shows Christopher Hitchens (RIP) warning of the dual dangers of wokeness and islam, way back in 2009.

    RESIST IT WHILE YOU CAN

    The video ends with a chilling clip of Starmer and Khan having a cosy discussion on how they’re going to crack down on ‘islamophobia’ much more robustly. Khan is actually feeding Two-Tier Keir lines, feeding him suggestions about a ‘strategy’ based on his experience as a prosecutor.
    Starmer clearly in the pocket of the islamists.

    Gone are the days when the gynaeceum that is our BBC News staff were leary of the Times as being somewhat infra dig in comparison to their beloved Guardian and sadly representative of ‘The Tory Press’. Now the title, justifiably considered to be a ‘regime central’ mouthpiece, is happily a go-to pick for the top of the BBC’s online press frontcover line-up.

    The Handbags And Gladrags
    That your poor old granddad
    Had to freeze to buy you

    And here we are again, second day running with the Times in the BBC’stop spot as they go with: Labour to crack down on benefit fraudsters – naturally the embattled freebie specs and frocks, 2-tier Starmer, dropping like a stone in the polls, feels the dire need to strafe right a tad.

    Crack down on benefits, you say? How precisely will that manifest itself?

    One recalls an amusing remark made many years ago by the late lamented Mrs AsI. She sometimes had a way with words. Having been informed by her best female friend that the friend was about to become engaged to her live-in boyfriend Mrs AsI enquired would there be a ring? Was there a wedding date set? How about an engagment party? When the answer to all these questions came back no, Mrs AsI justifiably mused “Well then, how will this engagement manifest itself?”

    The left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper simply takes the Labourite sound-bite at face value and presents it as their headline: Reeves looks at cutting benefits to fund public spending – benefits are public spending and vice versa. That’s some riddle of the sphinx circular reasoning you have there Ms Reeves. Tory black hole public spending was too high so you cut the OAP’s winter fuel benefit so as to increase public spending? My brain begins to hurt.

    By the way, did you see the Chancellor handed her arse over the Lord Alli freebies by the normally soft touch Good Morning Britain couple, Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley? Blimey, it was like Paxman reincarnate times two versus a guilty school girl (with that gruff voice of hers from having just puffed 200 cigarettes before breakfast).

    Benefits cutbacks you say? Apparently she’s going to help us all back to work: Initiative will focus on helping more people get back into work (‘i’) – not her own civil servants of course: Rachel Reeves says she ‘sets an example’ by not working from home as Labour ‘ditches efforts to force civil servants back into the office’ (Daily Mail)

    The promises of new benefits just keep coming: Free primary school breakfast clubs to begin next year (‘i’)

    The circular argumentation of cutting benefits spending (whether it be by outright fraudsters or a tacit socialist admission of the existence of a lumpen class of malingerers needing ‘help’ back into work) all so as to increase benefits spending – that may bamboozle the foolish youthful readership of the ‘i’ but the formerly serious Times feels the need for an explanatory subheader to that headline soundbite – and it’s a corker: Starmer’s new law will let investigators access suspects’ bank details and seize property

    In fact the ci-devant Rishi Sunak Tory-branded administration was already about to put on the statute book ways and means for state agents to regularly take a peek at all benefits claiments’ (including state pensioners’) bank statements. Afterall, they might spy something taxable in there. And all the better for the medium-term Treasury plan to means test the state pension. The winter fuel allowance cut is just a toe in the water of slashling those universal benefits in favour of you having to apply for stuff. You’ll own nothing and be happy – remember folks, it’s not a conspiracy theory, if it’s true.

    Help me out with this one… what is the EU’s obsession with: Germany and France want post-Brexit migrant deal (Times) ? – there can only be one of two motives – either a desperate urge to export to us their unemployment – or some darker background population replacement plan – is there any other explanation?

    On a lighter note Mr AsI begins to note the Google machine pushing certain ‘news’ stories at him unsolicited.

    11 ‘Problematic’ Family Movies Still Worth Watching (and Discussing) With Your Kids (Life Hacker, ‘a federally registered trademark of Ziff Davis’) – Ziff Davis, you ask? Ziff Davis is a vertically focused digital media and internet company whose portfolio includes leading brands in technology, entertainment… blah blah blah…

    Problematic – now there was a time the word problematic might refer to the likes of the Times crossword.

    However, in Ziff Davis world it’s: Potentially offensive or upsetting content – in family movies… really?

    Many beloved kids’ favourites come under the American-orientated PC microscope for ‘learning and teaching moments’ including: The Lion King (1994); Transformers: The Movie (1986); Watership Down (1978); and The Harry Potter films (2001-2011)

    But the stand out colour still image at the top of the article is from Dumbo (1941)

    You guessed it: Before the launch of Disney’s streaming service, there were rumors that an offensive scene in Dumbo, in which a racially coded blackbird named Jim Crow (grimacing emoji) gives the titular elephant a feather so he can fly, would be excised. That wasn’t true; instead, as with The Lion King, the service added this statement in the animated film’s description: “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.” Instead of skipping over that screen [sic – scene] to get to the cute baby elephant, it’s worth talking to your kids about how normalized such tropes once were—and still are, in many cases, provided you understand how to spot them. (Life Hacker, as promoted, internationally and unsolicited by Google)

    That image from Dumbo is of course of one of the row of crows on a tree banch singing “When I See an Elephant Fly”

    Oddly reminiscent of our BBC’s own image this very morning: Bird on a wire and other winning photos… Helmetshrikes Preparing to Sleep, Sabi Sands Nature Reserve, South Africa by Gary Collyer…”We were on a safari, and returning to camp in Sabi Sands, South Africa, on a dark March evening… Then we heard chattering and fluttering high above us. When illuminated with the lamp on the vehicle, we saw these helmetshrikes huddling together against a night that was starting to turn colder.” (Photo credit Gary Collyer/Bird Photographer of the Year)

      AISI, I have to disappoint you. Gary Collyer did not win Bird Photographer of the Year. He did not even win the Comedy Category as he only got a third place Bronze Medal. I would have given him a Gold award and made him the Overall Winner as his image is ‘a wonderful bit of seeing’ as the Camera Club judges are wont to say.

      Instead that appears to have gone to ‘right-on-message’ image that is responsible for giving young people in the UK anxiety and mental health problems that we humans are destroying wildlife – as frequently stated the BBC – (which we are not as typified by the wildlife in my garden) the actual winner was taken by Patricia Homonylo (Bird Photographer of the Year) with a gold award. That seems incredibly close to a winning image years ago of a dead bird in black and white and then hand-coloured. Photographer’s name not remembered but a woman from North America with a freezer full of dead birds.

    Starmer will be powerless to stop this so we are about to witness a repeat of the disastrous 1960’s which ended up crushing the UK car manufacturing industry for one along with untold damage in many sectors including print and media. Imagine if you will a UK media forced to abide to the diktats of its Communist Union leaders over what it is allowed to print etc. I have seen this before via The National Graphical Association Union in my own career in graphic design where I was threatened that I could not use any printer for instance unless I joined the union.

    If Lynch succeeds in effectively handing over the political power in this country to him and his mates in the unions, the UK will rapidly become a European version of those hollowed out communist dictatorships in South America.

    “It’s just another U-turn from Labour. Before the election, they promised to do everything they could to “support pubs”. In their manifesto, they even rolled out a flashy “five-point plan” to stop closures and encourage pub ownership. Starmer himself was dropping hints about an alcohol duty freeze all in the aim of helping out the local boozers. Though with these new restrictions on the table, any chance of that support seems to have gone flat. A reminder of what our Chancellor Reeves once said (this June):

    “Brits love our locals. Let’s back our landlords to keep our pubs going. We want to save the British pub because I know what an important institution they are in so many communities.”

    This latest move will leave a bitter taste in Brits’ mouths…”

    order-order.com

    COMMENT “Why would they want pubs, the last bastions of community, sociability, and free speech?
    Whenever I go to a pub most of what I hear is criticism of the current government and most times quite sensible analysis of their attitudes to the public. Social media is something they can control, divert, or censor, but not pubs.”

    Cooper shifts now to immigration.

    She says recent disorder and violence will not silence a serious debate on immigration that has been missing “for too long”.

    Repeatedly calling the current government a “serious” one, she says net migration must come down and people must be trained here in the UK.

    She says the asylum system is in “chaos” while underlining the need to look at “criminal gangs” – a point Keir Starmer made repeatedly throughout the election campaign.

    Immigration is “important” she adds, but needs to be “properly managed and controlled” so that the system is “fair”.

    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/nov/13/jack-straw-labour-mistake-poles

    The comments emerged after Straw’s successor at the Home Office, David Blunkett, warned that an influx of Roma migrants into Britain could cause riots. Blunkett told the BBC that Roma groups from Slovakia who had settled in a district of Sheffield were behaving like they were living in a “downtrodden village or woodland”.

    Just look at what the far-Left activist idiot Bowen has put in his latest rant:
    Bowen: Israel believes it has weakened Hezbollah but escalation still carries risks
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2kdg7jwvz7o

    ‘Hezbollah started a limited but continuous campaign of rocket fire over the border, trying to tie down Israeli troops and damage Israeli property and people.’
    What ???.
    First things first Jeremy : they are not tying the army down at all with random rockets apart from to get themselves blown up and they don’t care one bit about damaging property. As their frequent terrorist attacks in Israel (which you do not report) prove. They want to kill Jews. Period.

    Not ‘damage’ you great turnip, kill. Blow to pieces. Hamas did not butcher 1500 innocent civilians in cold blood just because they wanted to ‘damage’ them. It was bloodthirsty, terrorist murder.

    And look at this he added himself:
    ‘Many Israelis also think Netanyahu is an appalling leader who tells lies and has abandoned the hostages in Gaza. So he is a very controversial character, but bolstered in the parliament by the right wingers who support him, he is politically secure.’

    How obvious can you get that Jeremy is prjected his own, personal biased opinion onto ‘Many Israelis’ !!!. You need to add a ‘without providing evidence’ to your reports these days BBC.

    And those people you casually label as ‘right wingers’ as if they are some kind of extremeists are actually the democratically elected government.

    There’s only one extremist in this picture Bowen. A far Left one who supports Islamic terrorists. What an embarassment he is : he’s clearly losing the plot. Even for the BBC.

    ‘World’s deadliest weapon’ explodes during testing in Russia
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/09/23/worlds-deadliest-weapon-explodes-during-russian-testing/

    We all know that we are being fed a huge amount of misinformation from our own MSM these days. They feel confident to do it now the whole industry has been infested by Left-Wing activists.

    But this seems so extreme, I’m not sure how they can confident people will believe it.

    The article lets you move a slider across the picture to see th ebefore and after. The point is to make us think Russia is not a nuclear threat after all.

    But look at the pictures : the ‘explosion’ has not only made a crater, it has blown away all the new concrete and tarmac, changed the appearance of some buildings and even cause a few more trees to grow. And all without any piles of debris.

    What am I missing here ?. It seems completely ridiculous. I notice the BBC have not reported it because I assume it’s so obvious as a lie, they know they can’t get away with it. All the other MSM have no such rules. But I’m a bit surprised to see it in the Telegraph – though all their comments on matters like this are the same spiteful schoolboy stuff we see from troll-farms.

      Afternoon Sluffie,

      I wouldn’t be sure of FGK. Knowing starmers views on “Can a man have a cervix?”, it could actually be a code for “female genital kier”. He certainly is one.

      I’ve noticed that ms. starmer is on the scenes more and more. I think TTK has seen how the Pres. / 1st lady public act works in the US and thinks that it puts him in that sort of company.

      Alternatively he has bought her to the front of the grid to keep Angie baby off the photo shoots. He kept her hidden away during the election campaign. One surefire way of losing the moslem vote is if they learn that starmer is married to a practicing Jewess, and that the family observe Shabbat within Downing Street.
      I sure hope the Russians don’t invade on a Saturday.

      On another political tack, if corbyn had been labour leader and won the election, would his first action have been to cut the winter fuel allowance? Then possibly single occupancy discount? Prescription charges next?

      For all corbyn’s faults, he is a true socialist. He would have gone for the rich, not try to emulate them.

    “The ‘2015 generation’ is described as highly motivated by experts. Many could have stayed in Lebanon and Turkey, but pushed themselves on to Germany to make a new life.”

    Highly motivated for what exactly? ‘Trust the experts’… ‘We can do this’… junk slogans pumped out by idiot politicians and media.

      1998 I was directly in touch with John Humphreys at the time and when he was interviewing Mandelson over the loan, which he denied, it all came down to timing. From recollection, Mandelson had claimed he did not own the house at the time (and he was legally correct). Back then the time taken when purchase v Land Registration difference dictated when, the latter, “ownership” (the “Registration Gap” in the conveyancing process) took place.
      I suggested to Humphreys the line of questioning to trap the Socialist with his massage of the truth. Humphreys didn’t believe me – even argues with me as to why I was wrong in the principle.
      After that, I said to myself ‘f**k you BBC’.

I had to keep reminding myself not to call him that to his face. I fear that in the offices at No10, the staff call the hostages ‘sausages’ as a derogatory term – and it just slipped out.

        And you may call me a conspiracy theorist – or just a plain cynic. I saw on Guido Starmer react to the heckeling. I could believe it was planned, with Starmer ready with his ready quip to show how quick on his feet he is.
