    The Wolverhampton 12 year old machete killers
    I don’t want to know the kids names, but by suppressing CONTEXT the establishment are putting the public in danger the public
    To protect themselves the public should be allowed to know the context .
    The danger may well not come from illegals or migrant families, but we have a right to know.

    Island mourns Shawn Seesahai machete murder 4,000 miles away
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1534973nqlo

    Two 12-year-old boys have been sentenced for stabbing Shawn Seesahai to death with a machete in Wolverhampton. BBC News visited his family’s home in Anguilla and found an island in mourning.

    What ???. How much did that cost ?. It adds absolutely nothing to the story. It’s pure empathy.

    I contest that the taxpayers money would have been better spent for the BBC to research WHY this boy was repeatedly stabbed. I don’t believe for one second it was for no reason.

    And I’m also disgusted that the BBC make this boy the focus of the article instead of talking about what is REALLY important here : what has gone so drastically wrong in our society that these murders are being committed by 12 year olds.

    But of course we all know the answer to that. It’s the unchecked immigration of ‘enrichment’. The fact they ignore it shows just what shameless hypocrites they are. Some of this blood is on their hands.

      If the murderers and victim had come from Grimsby , they’d have used Twitter to report the story.

      When something happens in paradise, they usually send a whole bunch of freeloaders to ‘report’ on the story (Madeline McCann, the beach murders in Thailand etc.)

    I’ve been pondering all the largesse Lord Alli has bestowed on senior Labour politicians and the motivation behind it. A certain thought arose, so I checked his Wikipedia entry. It seems Lord Alli “is described as one of only a few openly gay Muslim politicians in the world.” You can read the biography for yourself, but I note “Alli’s work has focused on gay rights, youth and education.” Why is all this not a surprise?

    The other Monday when I switched on local radio there was a weekly 3 hour special prog for “The South Asian communities”
    That’s strange cos at the same time the BBC has an entire channel EXCLUSIVELY for south Asians

    “Conversation and music for South Asian communities with Arzu Dutta.”

    Even today BBC is still recruiting such staff

    Not BBC but you can’t help feeling it has BBC style.

    Last week I attended a talk and Q and A given by one Theresa May.

    The topic was ‘abuse of power’ . Somehow the issue of child sexual abuse came up. May said this in terms. ‘Abuse has been carried out by Anglicans, Catholics, other religions…..’.

    Get that. ‘Other religions’. But what other religions I wonder was she avoiding naming? Could it be the religion responsible for child sexual abuse in, say, Rotherham? Or Rochdale?

    How pathetic was May? Is there any wonder their natural supporters left them in droves at the election?

    Gobsmacking staggering avoidance of the glaringly obvious by a former PM. They don’t even realise that they are in a deep hole and they are keeping digging.

    Will the BBC push this like they did with Boris ?. Gather a story and release it with small, new headlines every day instead of in a single article ?. Or this one article going to disappear quickly ?.

    Are we witnessing the start of ‘Gear-Gate’ ?.

    I seriously doubt it. And I doubt this shallow, fascist dictator will last too long either.

      In all fairness, the BBC R4 really have a problem. ‘Juggling’ as the meaningless crap element broadcast increases. The crap is a symptom of the vast and increasing amount of “news” they cannot be fair and balanced in reporting / broadcast. We already know that in this category lies, muslims, blacks, Trump etc. Is there a mathematical formula to express this? I’m thinking like the inversely proportional sort i.e. well researched versus crap. Armed with a working formula we could assess the news they are WEF approved to broadcast.

    You know, I have noticed the difference between Left and Right is that the Left truly hate the Right. The comments I see on HYS and social media about Boris, Trump, JRM, Farage and others are awful. They are full of spite and hate of the worst kind.

    Whereas when we get some Lefty we strongly disagree with, the criticism is different. It’s harsh but it doesn’t have the same hate and spite in it.

    The reason I say this is because I’m starting to realise I dislike everything about Starmer himself. His voice irritates me and I can hardly bear to look at him. I can sense he is a truly dangerous man because he is pure far-Left agenda inside.

    If he had a strong character he might be another Hitler. Fortunately I think he is such shallow, pathetic man that he will not last long.

          It looks like a clear attempt to get the ‘right’ to retaliate when attacked (which they often are with impunity) so the likes of the BBC can then edit footage to show the ‘violence’ of the ‘far right’.

          It also gives a chance for traitorous politicians to massage the criminal statistics to show ‘whitey bad’ or even ‘whitey far right terrorist’.

    Alli : The story which just keeps on giving.

    Starmer told to distance himself from Lord Alli ‘immediately’ as links to BASHAR AL-ASSAD come to light
    https://www.gbnews.com/politics/politics-live-wes-streeting-used-lord-alli-s-ps18m-penthouse-for-labour-fundraiser-that-included-sir-ian-mckellen

    Sir Keir Starmer has been told to distance himself from controversial Labour donor Lord Alli “immediately” over his links to Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad.

    In 2013, just as the Cameron Government was blocked from bombing Putin ally Assad’s Syria, Lord Alli said in the Lords that not only had he been to the civil war-torn country on multiple occasions, he had “held talks” with its leader on several.

    The BBC are treating yet more corrupt behaviour from our disgrace of a PM as nothing to be bothered about.

    “The gifts – of £10,000 in October 2023 and £6,000 in February this year – were declared on time, but will now be re-categorised as donations in kind of clothing.
    The re-categorisation comes after Downing Street sought advice over the donations.
    Sir Keir has insisted he has always followed the rules.”

    Oh that’s fine then.

    The fact is that another brain dead labour MP (can’t remember which one, there are so many) revealed that the media get invited to quite a few expensive parties.

    So it seems we now have confirmation that the likes of the BBC are bought and paid for.

    The facts are these:

    1. Yes, the Tories did this sort of stuff. And guess what? It’s one of the many reasons they’re no longer in power. At least the Tories had the good sense to show remorse for taking bungs (that’s what this crap is, let’s be honest. ‘Gifts’ my arse. No such thing as a free lunch.)

    2. Labour MPs are grifting (yes, this is actual ‘grifting’ Cooper!) to a ridiculous extent, getting found out and then pretty much laughing at the struggling taxpayer. I’ve heard one saying they were simply ‘lucky’ to be given such donations. So that’s ok then? Another one saying 14k on her 40th was a ‘works thing’. One blaming his bung on his kids liking the evil Taylor Swift. One shrugging it off arrogantly as ‘tittle tattle’.

    These people are idiots with no self awareness.

    3. They are proud, not ashamed. Struggling, oppressed black man from a working class family in Tottenham, David Lammy, has had around 160k in donations in a year. 160k! 40k for ‘research and writing ‘.

    Sure.

    Do they think we’re thick?

    4. We need electoral reform to stop this sort of crap. A limit set on donations (let’s say 5k per MP per year). A reasonable limit also set on campaigning.

    On another topic, Yvette Cooper’s recent disgusting rant (again, a free pass from the BBC here) showed why women should not be in politics. Yes, Maggie etc. There are exceptions.

    But for the most part, you get hysterical, vindictive, blinkered lunatics like Cooper. Where was her similar rage at the blm riots (which were far more violent and destructive)? Why did she tar every protester as a violent, racist thug? She needs to sit down and have a nice cup of tea.

    I can’t say what I want to say about this demon, but it rhymes with she is a ducking pitch.

    Oh and Gary ‘what’s the problem ‘ Neville hopefully gets the welcome from football fans he deserves this weekend when pitchside.

    The absolute moron.

      Lazy – I think Rayner said something like – everyone gets ‘donations ‘ so it’s okay …

      It really is sad that if politicians ever had a true sense of right and wrong – they are able to bin that sense . Whether it be Tory corruption giving dodgy Covid contracts ( Michelle moan ) or now bribes disguised as donations by dodgy pakis whose origins of wealth need examination ….

      Maybe the donations need to be accompanied with their exact legitimate purpose – and proof that the purpose has been fulfilled .

      Same with expense clsims – whether it be moat cleaning or heating the stables or apple ear phones or whatever ….

      Someone on this site who has now disappeared once stupidly said if we paid politicians more we’d get better ones . I mean – really ?

      Apart from the venal nature ( give me I’m worth it ) of the politician I think people from modest backgrounds have their heads turned when exposures to extreme wealth – those able to buy whatever they want without thinking about the cost as they have so much rolling in every day – like wind farmers … Harrods owners … and the like

      It will never change – and the scrutiny will be restrained if it is the ‘approved ‘ like labour …..

      There’s no opposition able to challenge it because they are corrupt as well

      If there was an intelligent – decent government it might be ‘excusable ‘ but I can’t remember when we had one of those – apart from early maggie of course …

        Indeed.

        Rayner has had (I believe) over 100k in donations in the past year. This is on top of her hefty, with all expenses paid, salary.

        I don’t think they care. They have been either laughing about it to our faces or arrogantly shrugging it off in a ‘let them eat cake’ way.

      This is what left-wing politics does to everything in the world. It eventually destroys it. As the ‘Far-Right’ socialist Hitler demonstrated. Along with many others throughout history.

    For one brief scary moment I thought our media had found yet another #MeToo Mohamed Al-Fayed victim…

    Queen pinned to the bed by ghost (Daily Star)

    High class action

    I jest of course. Our Camilla may well have regularly shopped at Harrods – but this is an historic spectoral allegation about a spirit coming out of the old woodwork panels: Queen Camilla was pinned to her bed in a haunted Tudor mansion by a miserable old ghost… Son reveals terrifying attack at Tudor mansion… but Camilla scared spectre off with a few choice words

    Our jokey blokey Daily Star goes on to speculate ad lib about Camilla’s few choice words: “Oh do sod orf!” – there you go ladies, no need to wait twenty years to complain, that’s how one wards orf unwelcome sexual advances.

    By the way, thinking of the logic of that Grenfell Tower inquiry furore, where our authorities have forced all these poor innocent migrants – who they should have properly provided for and made comfortably welcome when they all arrived over here – instead let them down by shoving them into dangerous unsuitable overcrowded habitation – amounting to a national scandal… well, isn’t it a further national scandal that we force those royals of ours to live in a series of ghost-ridden haunted old palaces and mansions? Subjecting them to nightly spectoral visitations? I jest again of course.

    And of course the sexy scandal about our elites which we all would rather our media make a clean breast of this weekend is the one to which our Isabel Oakeshott has alluded concerning the ‘shape of Keir Starmer’s family’. And there we were thinking it was decidedly square. Apparently all the Westminster press lobby are perfectly aware of the inside track, so to speak, about the hidden secret enigma that lies behind Sir Keir hanging out at Lord Alli’s flat story. But they’re keeping mum.

    I’m oddly reminded of naughty satirist Daniel Bostock (hat-tip and a plug) and his rather spicy parody of the song Living Next Door to Alice popularised by Smokie. Our Daniel sang about Living Next Door to Ali

    Sally called, when she got the word
    She said “I suppose you’ve heard, our new neighbour is Ali”
    Well, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
    I could hardly believe my eyes
    As a big removal van rolled up onto next door’s drive

    Oh, I don’t know why he’s gonna need that chicken or that goat
    I guess he’s got his reasons but I just don’t wanna know
    For twenty four hours I’ve been living next door to Ali

    For twenty four hours, he’s been emptying the van
    Fifteen wives in burkas, a machete and koran
    Now I’ve gotta get used to living next door to Ali

    He groomed and befriended two kids in the park
    I heard them both shouting Allahu Akbar… with Ali

    He said good evening kuffir, I came over on a boat
    Now for twenty four hours I’ve been living next door to Ali

    Well Sally called back, and asked how I felt
    I said honey, he calls me infidel
    But I’m starting to get used to Ali
    Now Ali says I have to comply with Sharia
    Maybe not now but within a few years
    When all of my common law rights have disappeared

    The next day on the news they’re showing his photo
    He mowed down lots of people in a black Fiat Punto
    For only twenty four hours I’ve been living next door to Ali
    For twenty four hours he must have had it planned
    Now I’ll probably never see him ‘cos they’ve put him on remand
    Now I’ve gotta get used to not living next door to Ali

    The BBC have been giving far too much time recently to the vegan head of Forest Green Rovers to spout his vegan, lefty, Greta-esque utopian nonsense.

    Didn’t he donate £5m to the Labour Party?

    He wants all school meals to be vegan (the lunatic).

    He owns a vegan ‘food’ company.

    No conflict of interest here then.

    BBC practically giving him free advertising and not mentioning any potential conflict(s) of interest.

    If this nutcase gets his own way, we will all know why, won’t we?

    Kerchinnng and lots and of new outfits, watching football in executive boxes (big matches not shitty Forest Green Rovers) and taking your kids to front row/backstage pass pop concerts.

    We have the nerve to laugh at political corruption in Africa?

    British politics is no different.

    Oh, and if I wanted to go vegan I’d chew on a cardboard box (which is what most vegan ‘food’ tastes like.)

    Bowen somehow always manages to convey a complete contempt for Israel every word oozing with disdain and dislike, his reports always giving the impression that Israel is inherently wicked and evil.

    Today was no different as we learn that there has been a ‘tit-for-tat’ between Israel and Hezbollah and that Hezbollah ‘retaliated’ with some rockets yesterday and Israel was the one ‘escalating’.

    No…not tit-for-tat, not retaliation…Hezbollah started launching thousands of missiles and rockets on Oct 8…it launched a war against Israel. 8,000 missiles is not a mere irritation and an inconvenience to Israel.

    On a similar note one of the BBC’s finest in the US went to the Mid-West to rustle up some dirt on the election as Walz and Vance go head to head. Curiously it was almost all about how surprised the journo was that anyone there should consider Trump who had apparently let them down so badly….not least because he was a criminal and Jan 6…where he had ‘tried to hold on to power’…..really? Trump organised and directed the Jan 6 ‘insurrection’? Only in BBCWorld and the Democrat skunkworks.

    Not saying the BBC is anti-Trump but they are. Hope he gets in just to ‘rub their noses in it.’ lol….and however bad Trump is Harris will be ten times worse….she’s like a primary school teacher way out of her depth….very, very unconvincing whenever you hear her speak….I expect the Dems have another little bunker for her if she gets elected…just to keep her out of the way….damage limitation…then again judging by her effectiveness as ‘border czar’ any interference by her in running the country won’t be a problem.

One saying that Netanyahu was vile and his only reason for fighting Hizbollah was to save himself. Nobody reminded the guest about the 60,000 displaced Israelis, the crops deliberately destroyed by fire, or the murders initiated by the terrorists.

        The Left don’t actually give a dam about anyone at all unless they can be used in some way. Just look at Sasha Johnson and how quickly and totally her story was dropped when they discovered black men did it.

        I just found this channel 4 video about it. Every person they interview is as thick as shit. It does give more information about her and her vile views than we ever saw on the BBC.

        Further to Vlad’s nail-on-head post.
        On the way down the M6 yesterday (btw our road network for still the 5 th biggest economy in the world is truly appalling, transport policy having been hijacked by the climate anarchists).
        Around 1230 there was an extended discussion about …not sure exactly but trans and teenagers were to the fore.
        At one point it turns out that 1 in 7 trans teenagers are….something or other.
        Now given that about 3% of the population are gay, despite the relentless pro-gay hype, and maybe 5% of them are potentially trans, and then 1 in 7 of them are in a group of their own, the BBC fixation on minorities is becoming positively insane.

    Bowen: West left powerless as Israel claims its biggest victory yet against Hezbollah
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgn5xkp3rko

    The far-Left idiot is busy these days spinning his misleading propaganda and carefully chosen words to make Israel appear to be the ones who caused it.

    Firstly he repeats the video clip of the woman telling us Israel just bombed a school. They didn’t. This is another BBC trick : keep repeating the same story in multiple articles to make it seem much bigger and keep it current.

    Second, look at this:

    ‘Over the last eleven months there has been an ongoing tit-for-tat between both sides, though with more pressure from the Israelis.’

    At first glance, you think it means Israel are the aggressors. But spot the deliberate weasel words : ‘with more pressure from’. WTF does that mean ?.
    Jeremy has written that meaning the response has been more violent from the Israelis. What he doesn’t say is that their response is because Hezbollah are the aggressor for firing their terrorist, unguide rockets hoping to kill civilians.

    Another whopper from Jezzer. One of several very clear anti-semetic, terrorist-supporting journalists they have reporting on this conflict.

      “What the root of racism, what the root of sexism is. And sexism doesn’t come from women (says a man who says he’s a women). So of course it’s caused by men.” {youtube – Racism: Piers Morgan vs. Munroe Bergdorf – @2:50}

      – racism : prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.
      – sexism : prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.
      – indeed this is backed up with words … “LOUISE O’NEILL: It is impossible for women to be sexist towards men {irishexaminer jan2017}”, then it goes into different degrees of sexism “Women cannot be ‘as sexist as men’”

      “To cite the other person you just said that would *trigger you Sam Harris*, Mark Steyn said this the other day, *this is the conversation we will be having when the Mullahs nuke us*.Everyone will be discussing if someone is transgender despite the fact they’ve had no operation (ref Jack Monroe in UK)” – Douglas Murray when he’s angry, but he still makes sense.
