    Gunmen kill at least 20 miners in Pakistan
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp39pd1kx24o

    The stand-out thing for this article is it’s brevity : 4 sentences. And it tells us nothing of the situation around it.

    So I did some online research and other news site who report actual news tell me that it is just the latest in a series of attacks against mining companies by a group called the ‘Balochistan Liberation Army’

    So I looked to find out who they are and even Wiki avoids a certain issue. All it tells me they are a “proscribed group” based on the Terrorism Act 2000. So a bit more googling and what do you know : they are Muslims. But the big thing I noticed is how difficult it is to find that out these days. It seems everybody that google tells me about do their very best to hide it.

    You can always rely on the BBC to stick to the very basic facts when a bit of journalistic investigation leads to a conslusion they don’t want to tell you about.

    AKA lying by omission. And now every leftist ‘news’ site is doing it.

      Islamabad and the Raj impersonators have been systematically pillaging Baloch assets since independence and the natives don’t like it.

      I’d wager that the mines have Chinese involvement with money going into the pockets of the crooks in government / establishment.

    @tomo,

    Yes your frustration is palpable, and I share that.

    I wonder, how someone who cannot string a lucid sentence together has thrived (careerwise) for her whole life whilst spouting this bullshit.

    How has she got away with it ?

    There is plenty around the internet to show she is an aggressive bully, making all her staff stand up when she walks in (yes, really) and will always blame someone else, often her staff, for her failures, and of course as a DEI hire she is almost bulletproof, as I have seen in so many incompetent and downright nasty DEI hires in local authorites, public bodies and elsewhere.

    So, certainly not the genial laughing person she allows herself to be in public, so many have now said she is a a nightmare behind the scenes in reality.

    (Why ‘General’ Kamala Harris lost over 90 percent of her staff as Vice President.
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13822019/kamala-harris-staff-bully-vice-president-replaced.html)

    I had to complain only yesterday about one who argued with me over the phone when I requested a replacement credit card that is no longer working and kept telling me I had used the wrong PIN, (the replacement never arrived after two weeks and a call yesterday revealed this one had just thrown my request in the bin and never ordered it) This happens time and again with customer services with a certain demographic, I have two phone calls I have to repeat today because of this also, and I now make it official complaints.

    Harris is an expert at repeating phrases that sound vaguely intellectual or philosophical and maybe beyond the understanding of us simple mortals, but which are really meaningless gibberish, most can spot this.

    Avoiding interviews, and a few days ago when pressed on policy matters and actual politics shows she has not a bloody clue.

    (VP Harris mocked for being ‘too scared’ to do interview without Walz: ‘She simply cannot be left unattended’

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/vp-harris-mocked-being-too-scared-do-interview-without-walz-she-simply-cannot-left-unattended)

    And of course a liar who knew Biden was incompetent and lied to the American people over and over about this. That in itself is enough to disqualify her in my opinion.

    And the far left just ignore the fact she is a useless idiot, and Biden also, the mantra is always deflection : what about Trump, he’s a criminal etc etc etc.

    And, on that matter, he has spent his whole life not in trouble with the law and as soon as he revealed he is standing for president, 91 charges have been levelled at him, YES 91 CHARGES ???).

    (Trump Now Faces 91 Felony Counts Following Fourth Indictment

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/daniellechemtob/2023/08/15/forbes-daily-trump-now-faces-91-felony-counts-following-fourth-indictment/)

    Go figure as they say…

    And, by the way who the hell is running that country ?? certainly not the apparent president, locked away never addressing the population ?

    That alone is an international scandal in and of itself which is also never addressed. One of the most powerful nations on earth who’s leader has disappeared……

      The comment that Elon musk made yesterday about the democrats ending democracy if they win probably has too much truth for most Americans – those whose minds are clouded by hatred for trump .

      The election result will show one big thing . If Harris wins – the fix of the election system by Obama is solid . And for the current version of America – it is over . The Chinese and Russians will be over the moon as they sit back and watch America self destruct… it just depends on how long china is willing to wait…..

      I think Harris will win – and there will be another attempt to kill trump …

      From John Gatto, it’s not just children that don’t want to know about the real working world anymore. Swap child for adults in the following article …

      The children I teach are indifferent to the adult world. This defies the experience of thousands of years. A close study of what big people were up to was always the most exciting occupation of youth, but nobody wants to grow up these days and who can blame them? Toys are us. … Time for a return to democracy, individuality, and family. I’ve said my piece. Thank you. {naturalchild.org – john gatto – jan1990}

    Frozen in the bloc edition

    Israeli tanks injure UN peacekeepers (Telegraph); UN says Israel deliberately fired on its peacekeepers… in Lebanon (Guardian)

    As one great TV comic character once said – Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

    I’m still laughing at the word ‘peacekeepers’ – what bloody peace have they been keeping then?

    Blah, blah, blah, “intenational law” : ‘grave violation of international law’ (Guardian) – when will these Guardianistas get it into their thick heads – there is no ‘international law’ without an international police force. If these UN so-called peacekeepers had been stopping Hezbollah from firing their rockets, then Israel would never have gone in to do the job.

    Our own local pro-mass-immigration regime in Westminster fires off its big gun: Princess returns to public duties (Telegraph); Kate tribute on surprize Royal Southport visit… We’re here for you (The Sun); Kate comforts families of stabbed girls (giveaway Metro); Kate dazzles on her first public visit since illness (Daily Mail)

    Not all that public though, was it? You won’t see any pics of a Southport streets Royal walkabout, I’m guessing.

    Smiling, caring, hugging Kate is back… visit to bereaved Southport attack families & 999 heroes (Mirror) – let me guess, the familes, plus select ambulance staff and cops were secretly whisked off (perhaps on some
    innocuous pretext) to some carefully vetted secure location to which the Royals popped in for a flying visit with their in-house photographer (pics then emailed off to the press), am I right?

    Afterall, it is imperative we keep those families and first responders sweet and on-message – we can’t have them going rogue and saying all sorts of off-message things that might create an alternative narrative to the one curated by the regime – what with the murder trial inevitably in the offing… eventually.

    I’m oddly reminded of that old BBC show Jim’ll Fix It

    How the kids on the show loved meeting their famous celebrity heroes – meetings for which Jim had fixed it – and one reflects how the children would have been like grateful compliant putty in Jim’s hands after he had fixed that little meeting with their heroes for them.

    Calm down dear…

    I’ve had a lover for ten years. These are the affair tricks I’ve learned that mean our spouses will never find out (Daily Mail) – that’s a bit of female interest feature fluff – we still wait to read a really tough press interview with Keir Starmer.

    Man up, man…

    The vet who can’t bear to put dying pets down (Telegraph)

    Meanwhile, the Daily Express campaigns hard for euthenasia for us humans.

    They do say trainee vets are those who couldn’t hack it as doctors.

    Good news on that Ukraine proxy war – we’re beating the Russians on every front… except the frontline fighting.

    Propaganda: Justice for Novichok victims ‘unlikely’ – Theresa May… did not know the perfume she was spraying herself with was a lethal nerve agent… Former Prime Minister Theresa May says… “will take some comfort” from the forthcoming independent inquiry into her death. (BBC)

    If, as Mr AsI posits, Princess Kate is the regime’s big gun – then rolling out Theresa May is akin to its plastic toy water pistol. Independent inquiry? Putin must be quaking in his Siberian snow boots.

    How’s them economic sanctions workin’ out fo’ yer?

    UK-linked firms suspected of busting Russia sanctions… The Treasury said it would take action where appropriate, but pointed to the complexity of the cases as a reason they take considerable time. (BBC)

    Keep telling yourselves we’re winning and keep throwing our money at the problem – that’ll do the trick

    US firm on helping Kyiv… G7 fundraising effort for Ukraine… in spite of EU’s failure to agree… Russia’s assets stay frozen in the bloc (FT)

    Roll over Moldova – that was a 2014 World Cup qualifier match-related headline Mr AsI reckons to be in his top ten headlines of all time.

    Moldova rolled-over… Tony Cottee, Graeme Sharp, Iain Dowie and Sean Dyche join Jeff Stelling to dissect England’s win in Moldova. (from the Sky Sports archives) – there’s one for the teenagers.

    To the contemporary FT: Brussels backs Moldova… EU has pledged €1.8bn in economic support ahead of a referendum on membership of the bloc called by the pro-western government… despite Russian efforts to derail it – perhaps if Brussels had been ponying up cash ofr us Brits we might have voted Remain

    And our dire western interest in nabbing this extra little square on the world map that is the great real life board game of Risk is…

    Roll Over, Moldova… Hugh Ryman [wine entrepreneur] figured it would be a piece of cake. Moldavia had broken off from the Soviet Union and, renamed Moldova, was open to doing business with the West. And it was wine country, reputedly one of the best regions of the former Soviet Union for fine wine: Moldava has 420,000 acres of grapevines, 100,000 more than California. But it is a poor country in need of cash, so goods and labor would be cheap… Reality, however, was a wake-up call. “I expected a lot more than we got,” he says with remorse… an entrepreneur from the Netherlands had flown in soon after Moldova declared its independence and had signed an exclusive agreement with the government to export wine. (Los Angeles Times, 1995) – you get the picture.

    Oh, did we remember point out we’re losing the actual war on the ground…

    Home invasion

    ‘Russians invaded my house and held a soldier captive there’… After Marina fled her home in Vuhledar, she was shocked to see a video of a Russian soldier in her house going through her things (BBC)

      Maybe Israel were saving the children?

      “The United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (“MINUSTAH”) was tainted by multiple scandals involving U.N. personnel engaged in sexual exploitation or abuse of Haitians, including Haitian children.[1][2][3] Most prominent of these was a child sexual abuse scandal involving the Sri Lankan UN peacekeepers, which emerged in 2007 following an investigation by the UN’s Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS). At least 134 Sri Lankan soldiers serving with the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti were accused of sexually abusing nine Haitian children from 2004 to 2007.[4][5]”

    I’m intrigued by some of yesterday’s reporting regarding the case of attempted murder by the failed asylum seeker, Brwa Shorsh…who pushed the young man onto the railway line of a tube train. I think it’s quite revealing.

    What we know about this attacker is that he harks from northern Iraq, was denied asylum in Germany, illegally entered Britian and has since then racked up a pretty impressive list of criminal convictions. This ain’t a nice geezer…

    There have been thirteen convictions and six prison sentences for crimes such as racially aggravated assault, attacking a police officer, threatening people with a bike chain and “public decency violations”…yes, I don’t know the details but I’m probably thinking along the same lines as you…

    In short, the bloke is an utter scumbag and shouldn’t be in our country.

    Yesterday he received a “life sentence” for attempted murder…but if you read the small print…this might mean he’s out in eight years. Oh joy.

    And how did the ever-honest BBC report this I hear you ask?

    “Man receives life sentence after pushing postman onto rail tracks”

    So, if Marianna Spring, the BBC fact checker, looks into this, she can honestly say that they have reported this case.

    Just not all of it…

    For the last few days the bbc have been bigging up, and seemingly taking pleasure in, the approaching tornado landfall in Florida. As an aside, why hurricane Milton? I’d expect whoever names these things to choose a more common name, say m0hammed?

    Climate change! worst storm in a thousand years! you are all going to die unless you give me more money!

    Unfortunately, and disappointingly for the bbc, it wasn’t like that. Twenty-ish people died and a heck of a lot of damage was suffered, but the whole event was typical for the time of year in that part of the world. Maybe kamala walked across the gulf and pushed the wind out of the way? That laugh would do it.

    Either way the cc lobby are quiet. Suddenly there’s no money to be made here. Ukraine is pretty much done, the presidents and their colleagues made a ton of money out of that and it only cost around a million lives. I’m sure they would do it again if the money were there. More kickbacks than you would see (Appropriately) in a field of asses.

      Cousin marriage
      and genetic disorders

      Click to access w36205-cousin-marriage-leaflet-final-082417.pdf

      In the UK, communities that have cousin marriage include
      those of Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Middle Eastern origin,
      some communities of Indian origin, Irish travellers and
      some refugee groups; and to a much lesser extent the
      White majority community as well. Of these communities,
      the Pakistani origin community has the greatest number of
      cousin couples.
      Bradford has a large Pakistani origin population. So, there
      are more cousin couples and therefore more children with
      recessive disorders in Bradford than most other UK cities.

    Fact is, we are seeing the decline of the Roman empire again with the fall of western civilization. It is not immediate but rather a long hard road downwards. I now accept this fate.

        For the sake of the Western World let us all hope that the election goes in favour of Capitalism and rejects Socialism which,after all, has failed to deliver for the common people whenever and wherever it has been attempted. In my humble opinion and I speak as an erstwhile dyed in the wool Labour voter, the reason it is doomed to failure is because it does not heed human nature. Here endeth my rant.

    2015 … “Consider this, I give this example. If immigration continues at the levels it has average over the last ten years. Britain will be adding 10 million people to it’s population in the next 20 years. That means building a new house roughly every seven minutes. Now, we currently have no leadership from the Liberal Democrats, Conservative or Labour Parties saying they are going to do anything to change that course. @5:56 … if any party wishing to get into power doesn’t address this they are committing political suicide….@10:30″ {youtube – Douglas Murray – oct2015}

      Real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, he is best known for his work with the YouTube collective Beta Squad and has presented shows on BBC Three.

        Very noticeable that a lot of old (don’t mean age) and regular posters seem to have melted away. I fast scroll through all the endless links, and wonder how so many cut and pastes can be posted every 2 or 3 minutes according to the time stamps anyway.

        Conversational comments with a dash of humour were joyous to read with some giving the best giggle of the day, but that element has gone and replaced with the same handful of posters who write lengthy prose which all take time to read – but who has the time ??

        Never mind, it was ever thus.

    Just back from Florida, sandwiched between two hurricanes. Things you won’t hear on the UK media.
    1. The US media is 100% pro-Israel. Even CNN/MSNBC/ABC are horrified by the Pally protest on October 7th.
    2. There were several commemorative October 7th programmes showing the utter barbarity – I had never seen any of this extremely distressing footage before. I believe any of this shown here would certainly sway opinion.
    3. In an emergency situation, card payments, E-whatever, electric cars, windmills, solar panels, wi-fi, are all useless. Cash, Petrol engines, and diesel generators are essential.
    4. No-one reports on how catastrophic salt water is to electric cars/bikes etc.
    5. Trump should win by a landslide. Anything else is a fix.
    6. Cheapest deodorant in Wal-Mart (own brand) was $9.
    7. All boxes of cereal $8.
    8. McDonalds breakfast meal – UK £4.59, US $10.99

        Seems a legitimate concern – wonder if INsurances cover it?

        “Saltwater poses an especially serious risk to electric vehicle batteries because salt conducts electricity. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been researching this phenomenon since EVs started catching fire following Hurricane Sandy in 2012, but quantifying the issue has proven challenging. Freshwater flooding in California hasn’t caused the same frequency of EV fires that Florida has seen in the wake of several hurricanes over the past decade, and researchers believe saltwater is to blame. According to the Associated Press:

        Electric vehicles with lithium ion batteries can catch fire if the batteries short circuit and start to heat up. Tom Barth with the National Transportation Safety Board said that if the heat starts to spread between different cells in the battery back it can cause a chain reaction called thermal runaway.”

    The UK Child Care Dumps:

    https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/the-horror-of-the-baby-rooms/

    In that piece I discussed the tragic case of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan, who was killed by a worker at Tiny Toes nursery. ‘Kate Roughley who was 37 strapped nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan face down to a beanbag at the Tiny Toes nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, on 9 May 2022.

    ‘Genevieve was left on the beanbag for 90 minutes and was seen struggling and coughing on CCTV footage. But Roughley did not check on her until she was ‘unresponsive and blue’. Jurors heard Genevieve, the daughter of barrister John Meehan and solicitor Katie Wheeler, died from asphyxiation . . .’ Lord have mercy.

    Struth the bBC even reported on this. You would think they may want to censor this given how ‘care-in-the-village’ is ‘bestist’. (c) Hillary Clintoon

    The Government is of course avoiding the real Pension issue, the Public Sector. The current model of Public Sector Pensions is surely unsustainable but we hear nothing about it from Liebour. Already, a huge portion of Taxs go to sustaining a lucrative Pension deals for Civil Servants, Teachers, Police etc. I think 40% of some Police budgets are funding Pensions. It’s set to overtake the entire GDP in a few years, what are the Government going to do about it? Import immigrants maybe?

      Flotsam – Do you have data on this?

      Found this …

      As the population ages, spending on healthcare, long-term (social) care, and pensions seem likely to continue rising. It could be that, for the first time in a long time, the defence budget needs to grow at the same time as the health budget. Without curtailing other areas of spending, or radically paring back the scope of what government does, it seems highly likely that overall government expenditure and the size of the state will increase over the next decade.

    BBC Question Time comes to the US
    the BBC’s flagship political debate programme heads to Pennsylvania on Thursday, 10 October

    it comes from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, presented by Fiona Bruce and featuring a local audience

    the panel includes the BBC’s Anthony Zurcher, former Trump campaign adviser Bryan Lanza and commentator Mehdi Hasan.

    —————–
    I watched the programme. It convinced me that Harris will win and her controllers will maintain the Presidency for the next 8 years. Audience, pro harris. Very articulate and confident Dem speakers. Entire programme devoted to Trump, his faults and warning to vote against him. Harris was scarcely mentioned. BBC delighted.

    There are 10 million ways the media can lie; here is but one of them.

    CNN do a report on the storms in Florida. Like the BBC, their agenda is to exaggerate all things climate-related.

    So they get their lying reporter (in this case Anderson Cooper, but they’re all liars) to stand up to his b***s in some sort of ditch while doing his segment. Meanwhile his camera crew are in just a few inches, barely covering their shoes.

    I probably have just missed this in the past. And I am sure
    many of you have noticed how the BBC reporters
    and presenters put on more emphasis on what they want
    you to believe is true. Even if it isn’t.
    You don’t need to be an Einstein to know where
    Sarah Smith’s personal opinions are relating to
    the US Presidential election. After telling us what a
    strident speech Trump was giving . She said ” JUST WATCH”
    As for Orla Guerin in Lebanon or porky Jeremy Bowen
    reporting from Jerusalem. Anybody with an IQ bigger
    than David Lammy’s will know where they stand on the
    Middle East conflict.

      I was utterly unsurprised QT got that odious little toad Hasan in as soon as they could.

      He was a QT fixture here for a while, until his rather dubious video posts started appearing, and then rattled around a few extreme leftie titles before sodding off to the USA to work for such as MSNBC.

      That is this MSNBC.

      I did @bbcquestiontime with a live audience including Trump voters in Philly this week. The Trump voters booed and laughed sarcastically at every official statistic mentioned from the stage: unemployment, inflation, even Border Patrol stats on border crossings. They don’t believe anything. It’s scary. And dangerous for the country.

      It’s BBC QT, Mehdi, any ful no it is rigged up the whazoo.

      He also quotes… well, hot diggidy dog… The Atlantic.

    Didn’t the bBC nab the wife of some Tory parish councillor during the ‘rioting’ and ‘pin it on’ the tory scum for comments made.

    A snippet from the Telegraph:
    “Labour MP’s husband ‘lied about serving in Royal Marines’
    Greg Brackenridge, a councillor, told voters he had been a commando but in fact never finished training, according to reports”

    Only an MP but put the name into the bBC search function and it does not register any hits. The f….ing organisation were quick enough to report on 2TK’s uncle’s military exploits why not this Walter Mitty. 2TR

      Labour’s Sureena Brackenridge the Wolverhampton MP is mentioned a few times on the BBC news website
      Her husband Greg Brackenridge has in the past been mentioned in passing in a few older news
      But nothing so far about this new story.

      “Childminder married to Tory councillor pleads guilty to stirring up racial hatred
      3 Sept 2024 — Lucy Connolly, of Northampton, told she faces substantial jail term over tweet calling for attacks on asylum hotels”

      AFAIK that was an inflammatory comment that few people saw and she deleted it within 2 hours.

      She was immediately punished by being remanded in custody
      2 Sept 2024 — Connolly is due to be sentenced next month, with a judge warning her she faces a “substantial” custodial sentence.
      … Strange there hasn’t been a sentence yet
