    So Starmer is worried that the conflict in the Middle East will , in his words, light the touchpaper in the UK.

    This is a clear admission that the forty year long social engineering experiment of mass immigration and multiculturalism of millions of Muslims has been a total failure.
    He tacitly admits that we are now threatened by violent unrest at home caused by a conflict two thousand miles away which is stirring up our Muslim enrichers.
    The vast majority of Brits have been warning that this was the inevitable outcome of this experiment but successive governments have ignored those warnings , ridiculed and ostracised those who made them and have now started to use state suppression of any form of anti immigration protest. Indeed the fools are still importing Muslims by the boatload.
    Our political and chattering classes aided and abetted by the MSM , particularly the BBC, have created a nightmare for all of us . A nightmare which will last for generations.

      1985 … I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police,

      more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country.

    So tomorrow marks the first anniversary of when the terrorists of Hamas raped, tortured and butchered hundreds of innocent Israeli men, women and children.

    Muslims should lower their heads in shame for what they did. The day should be spent remembering the victims and what horrific deeds were done to them. It should be a global day of condemnation of terrorism.

    Thats what it SHOULD be. But I will guarantee the BBC devote 10 times as much column-space to the thousands of shameless, terrorist-supporting, racist protestors and do not say anything at all negative about them.

    And how many do you think will be imprisoned for hate-speech or incitement to terrorism with slogans such as ‘from the river to the sea’ which is a blatant demand for genocide ?. If just being at an anti-immigration protest gets you a year in jail, those people should get 3 years minimum.

    The problem is that the police daren’t arrest any of them because they risk igniting the mob. You can be sure plenty will be carrying knives – the Muslim weapon of choice. I wonder how many will be searched.

    It is all quite sickening to watch. It’s 100% institutional state racist bias. Under threat of violence. But done quite willingly by the BBC who are the biggest racists of all.

    Sunday new main squeeze edition

    Let’s just refamiliarise ourselves with how our liberal media went after the libertine pro-Brexit Tory Boris Johnson…

    Inside Boris Johnson’s grubby love life – tawdry affairs, furious ex wives and love child (Mirror, March 2024)

    Johnson’s former lover eyes a conspiracy… While Petronella Wyatt thinks Boris Johnson’s backers are delusional, fellow former mistress Jennifer Arcuri seems to think he’s been swapped (The New European, ‘Think without borders’)

    Boris Johnson: ‘Frightened’ neighbour defends recording partner row… Newspaper headlines: Papers focus on reports of Johnson row at home (BBC, 2019) – if only he’d thought to set up for a bit in a billionaire pal’s flat for a couple of weeks while they were ‘on a break’

    Public has right to know Boris Johnson fathered child during affair, court rules… attempt to hide paternity of child born after brief affair with mayor of London (Guardian, May 2013)

    Oh, so a Judge ruled the public has a right to know… interesting.

    Meanwhile, under a Labour-branded administration today, the Mail on Sunday goes after dishing the dirt on: Miranda’s marriage mystery… Revelation: Comedienne Miranda Hart – no right to privacy afforded there then.

    I hear our Laura K just suffered a brain fart: Kuenssberg ’embarrassed’ by Johnson message error… sharing notes with him which had been intended for her colleagues. (BBC)

    But what’s all of a sudden the matter with the rest of our intrepid Westminster press lobby? Have they all to a man retired to their fainting couch with a fit of the vapours at first sight of a solicitor’s letter?

    I’m reminded of that super song the band Squeeze released in 1979… I’m not thinking of Cool for Cats, which was good, but I think the really super one was called something like Up the Injunction?

    Anyway, let’s cease and desist that distinctly British New Wave Post-Punk Indie reminiscencing. These days World Music is de rigueur, apparently…

    ‘Huge moment’ as Bollywood music comes to Strictly (BBC) and; My mission is to take Tamil music global, says Sid Sriram (BBC) and; Aplifying Black Music and Culture (BBC Sounds Radio 1Xtra) – you get the picture.

    Why are vet bills so expensive? – muses the Sunday Times – let me explain… they seem rather costly because human medicine and treatment on the NHS is free at the point of access (to the world and his wife) and the costs are hidden from us in that great lump of general taxation. Billions of new NHS funding here, billions of NHS debt written off there, junior doc payrise here, GP shorter working hours there. And of course a lot of that government spending is borrowed cash.

    Reeves’s plans spell misery ‘mortgage misery’ Treasury analysis says borrowing to fund spending may increase rates by up to 1.25pc (Telegraph) – that’s taxation via your own home back door, so to speak.

    But the government can always squeeze a bit more tax out of us, right?

    The U.K. has ‘far more millionaires than it deserves’… Some 500,000 millionaires will leave the U.K. by 2028, according to UBS’s latest Global Wealth Report, equivalent to a 17% fall, leaving questions about the U.K. and London’s position as a haven for the global elite. That is the biggest relative fall in the millionaire population among the countries covered by UBS (Fortune ‘Get global perspectives and insights from CEOs on the biggest stories in business’)

    Doubts grow over Labour’s VAT plan for private schools… Treasury refuses to confirm January start… warnings from unions, tax experts and school leaders that meeting the deadline will cause administrative chaos and teacher job loses, and put pressure on the state sector (Observer)

    We begin to see how come the Treasury advised Sir Keir that the OAP Winter Fuel Allowance cut was the easiest quick fix option, if he insisted on rewarding the state sector which supports him, despite the inevitable crying and whinging.

      Why are vets bills so expensive ? all being bought up by venture capitalists and prices fixed.

      Like dentists, when your dentist has “investment opportunity” brochures instead of old Readers Digests in the waiting room you know there is an issue.

      And they would rather pull a tooth than treat it, with a variety of excuses each time to justify it.

      “UK watchdog plans formal investigation into vet pricing.
      Large chains could be squeezing out independent practices, says Competition and Markets Authority.

      The UK competition regulator is preparing to launch a formal investigation into the veterinary market after identifying “multiple concerns” in an initial review, including that pet owners may be overpaying for treatments and medicines.

      The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it wanted to move forward with a full review after an initial inquiry triggered an “unprecedented response” from 56,000 people, including customers and vet professionals, who raised a number of concerns about practices within the £2bn industry”

She was definitely not selling – and still hasn’t succumbed. Also it came to light at the time of pet insurance fees rising.

      Shakeel Begg Claimant
      – and –
      British Broadcasting Corporation Defendant

      Click to access shakeel-begg-v-bbc-judgment-final-20161028.pdf

      The Sunday Politics programme was hosted by the well-known journalist and
      broadcaster, Andrew Neil. It lasted an hour and was watched by over 838,000 people.
      It was subsequently viewed on iPlayer and YouTube. The programme opened with a
      roving reporter posing the question “Are mosques doing enough to counter
      extremism?”. The broadcast then switched to the studio where Mr Neil interviewed
      an invited studio guest from the Muslim Council of Britain, particularly on the subject
      of the treatment of women under Islam.

      The Claimant complains of the following words spoken by Mr Neil mid-way during
      that interview:
      “The East London Mosque, which you personally and the MCB closely
      associated with, it’s also the venue for a number of extremist speakers and
      speakers who espouse extremist positions. This year Shakeel Begg, he spoke
      there and hailed jihad as “the greatest of deeds”. In 2009 the mosque hosted
      a video presentation by somebody described by US security as an Al-Quaeda
      supporter. You had another speaker there who in the past had described
      Christians and Jews as “filth”. You’ve had a jihadist supporter of the Taliban
      there. Why do you do nothing to stop extremism, extremists like that, at this
      mosque with which you’re associated with.”
      4. The Claimant said that he came to learn of what had been said about him on the
      “Sunday Politics” programme from third parties and felt upset at having been
      portrayed in this way.

      The Claimant relied upon other speeches given by him which Mr Bennett submitted
      ‘balanced’ the speeches relied upon by the BBC. The Claimant relied in particular on
      an Eid Khutbah speech by the Claimant on 28th August 2013 in which he made, inter
      alia, the following ecumenical statement and reference to George Orwell exhorting
      the virtues of ‘speaking the truth’:
      “There was a time when our messenger, Moses, peace be upon
      him, was hated. There was a time when the messenger Jesus,
      peace be upon him, was hated. There was a time when our
      messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was
      hated. But today these prophets, these great men are loved by
      billions of people on earth.”
      “An English writer by the name of George Orwell, he said in a
      time of universal deceit to speak the truth is a revolutionary
      act. In a time of universal deceit to speak universal truth is a
      universal act for the Muslims, to stand up for justice, for the
      Muslims to stand up for their rights, for the Muslims to be
      proud is a revolutionary act and is part of steadfastness and
      that’s why the messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon
      him, said the greatest form of jihad is to speak the truth in front
      of a tyrant ruler
      ”.

    It would appear that there is more trouble in the BBC news department…..
    Just as the Nation slowly recovers from the shock and heartbreak over dear Huw Edwards and his “behaviour” , we learn that none other than everybody’s favourite Clive Myrie has had a “lapse” in his ability to concentrate..
    We can all breathe a sigh of relief , this involves on only tax.

    We are told he has had a memory lapse and forgot to declare some earnings. How very insensitive some people can be..poor Clive who has devoted much of his life to fighting racism, especially the type that has kept him downtrodden and unable to progress in his career, now the same racists are out to get him for not paying tax……..it makes my blood boil …poor Clive, one minute, looking utterly bewildered, on a roof in the pitch dark, somewhere near the Ukraine reporting on events actually in Ukraine ( for which he has never received an award, incidently ) and now the centre of some tax paying witch Hunt… cor blimey whatever next..The injustice of it all. Obviously he has had far too much on his mind for tax trivia, give the guy a break….

It could be like the man who let someone else pay for his spectacles; his clothes allowance doubled when he remembered. Still wonder how he managed to spend so much.

    Something I noticed while perusing the BBC News channel yesterday evening. It just seems odd to me…

    “A thirty-five-year-old man” (not much of a description!) has been arrested on suspicion of throwing acid into the face of a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl, causing her life changing injuries and also hospitalising a female teacher and a sixteen-year-old lad.

    Now, this is a quite horrific crime and the perpetrator shouldn’t be on our streets. I’m guessing that he shouldn’t even be in our bloody country, but the police, courts and media are being a tad coy.
    Whichever backward shithole he’s from, he’s clearly a bloody menace. However…he’s been released on bail…

    Perhaps this is standard procedure and what usually happens, but we all remember how quickly those rioters and Facebook posters were shoved through the courts. Double quick! Never mind if you’re an older woman caring for your disabled husband…you shouldn’t have written hurty words…

    Do not pass go, do not collect £200…straight to nick and no arguments.

    Meanwhile the unnamed thirty-five-year-old acid thrower could be living next door, sitting beside you on the bus or following your fourteen-year-old daughter home from school.

      Morgan McSweeney has been more central to the Starmer project than anyone else – he devised the strategy that won him the leadership and that won him the election.
      Appointment as Chief of Staff reflects that pre-eminence.

      Comments could be going better.

      At least he has ditched the raincoat.

          Trying to imagine how Starmer’s image can be polished up – as they say – you can’t polish a xxxx…. Maybe he ll announce another ridiculous policy – giving away gib or the falklands or killing the first born …. And not even 4 months into power yet ….
          They are addicted to freebies and that won’t go away …

    RESIGNED AND YET GOING NOWHERE……

    Shock news of Sue Grays resignation shocks the political world….but not very much…why? Because it’s business as before, a minor tweaking of the machinery.
    However , it might just indicate a level of disharmony in the seat of government . If only there were people close to the action , perhaps in the civil service who could leak the real story to ..ooh .maybe an editor of a newspaper that they happened to be married to , or even an ITV reporter who might sometimes read the news …How we long for the days of Tory Government when curious leaks from the cabinet office were a daily event. Why are the leakers so suddenly dry?

    All that aside, perhaps the question should be posed, after 100 days in power how’s this Government lark going ?

    Well, could do better some might say….. or , no surprise at all to most. How’s that massive majority, the wave of public support ( all 9 million votes high) Sue Gray moved and the Labour Govt looking tired …time for a major reshuffle to keep it all fresh eh!

      Just noticed the Met post (above) not only had replies disabled (figured that was fair enough if a bit daft when asking for public feedback) but has now disappeared.

      Never a good sign.

        Mr Jones also appeared to be applauded by a representative from human rights organisation Amnesty International in the footage.

        An Amnesty International UK spokesperson told LBC in response that the activist was “distracted” while clapping and didn’t hear what Mr Jones had said.

    A Muslim terrorist ha murdered a 25 year old Israeli border guard … who came from a terrorist family . I’m sure they’ll get a treatment appropriate to the circumstances – which I hope involves the use of a bulldozer to remove the family home .
    RIP
    Keep going IDF

    Religion: Sharia-based Iranian law states that the legal age for marriage is 13 for girls and 15 for boys, but marriages can still be carried out at a younger age with the consent of fathers and permission from court judges. This has enabled a culture whereby child marriage is considered somewhat socially acceptable.

    Sudan used to have a unique policy when it came to the legal marriage age. Muslim children were allowed to be legally married as soon as they hit puberty. Non-Muslim children, however, could only marry after they hit 13 if they were a girl, or 15 if they were a boy.12 Aug 2024

    “Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.[To Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati religious funeral practice of burning widows alive on her husband’s funeral pyre.]”

      I notice that Harris events are getting “oooge crowds” – weirdly they all seem woodenly/formulaically pumped out on X / MSM…

      I guess the Democrats are still smarting from Hilary getting camera phoned speechifying in a deserted Florida parking lot and Joe stumbling through a teleprompter in front of about 20 people from CNN / MSNBC who’re ignoring him.
