    “Just six days before his death, Mr Kaba brazenly gunned down a rival in the middle of a crowded nightclub during a bloody feud for control of a profitable county lines drug network.

    Had he not been killed, Mr Kaba would have stood trial at the Old Bailey for the attempted murder of Mr Malutshi who miraculously survived the nightclub shooting on August 30, 2022.

    In a shocking attack captured on CCTV, the gangster started blasting at Brandon Malutshi chasing him outside the Oval Space Club in Hackney, with one of the bullets hitting him in the leg.”

    BBC news is including the ‘fact ‘ that the dead gangster was ‘unarmed ‘ still running the implication that he was wrongfully shot . In the 1pm the presenter couldn’t wait to take the side of the coloured folk – the third world imports bring violent third world ways …

    This Kabba fellow was into his ‘drill rap’. Whatever that is.

    Rap music is all very strange to me.

    Tracks 1 and 2 of a typical ‘rap’ album will feature ‘songs’ about killing cops, being a pimp, having sex with prostitutes, dealing drugs, doing drugs, looting and rioting and killing rival gang members in drive by shootings.

    Track 3 will be a ‘song’ about how the police often harass and stop them for being black and for no other reasons at all.

    I mean…is it just me?

            They’d have shit themselves and probably either have been beaten senseless or shot in the face.

    The Archbish of Cunterbury loves nothing more than abasing himself in the most obsequious way possible (except of course to his own traditionalist flock whom he despises). The old queen’s at it again, this time in Jamaica.
    The BBC loves nothing more than banging on about slavery.
    Verily, a match made in hell.
    “Archbishop Welby reveals slave owner ancestor”

    One can understand why Nietzsche despised Christianity, which he said promoted a “slave morality”.
    There does exist a more manly and muscular strain of Christianity, but you have to look hard for it.
    None of which matters as the C of E will soon be defunct and replaced by Islam.
    Now THERE’S a muscular religion.

      Vlad,
      The biggest reason for that is that most of the established Churches have preached a love ONLY gospel for too long. Jesus Christ is not one dimensional. “This Gospel of The Kingdom” (The whole integrated message) is rarely heard.

      They have presented the lamb but forgotten the lion. The suffering servant is remembered while the deliverer of God’s vengeance is overlooked.

      2000 years ago the religious establishment were looking for the lion only. They missed the lamb. Today they present the lamb only and might not even recognise The Lion of Judah in his glory.

      The god of Islam and all of it’s vile religious rituals have one fate, Under Jesus’ feet. There cannot be a merging of “faiths” The Christian message to Muslims is – “Repent!” Islam is a sin not a thing to be praised. We need not even tolerate it among us.

      Sorry to the late Queen but the royal Christmas messages have been false for years now. The Archbishop should have used his office to at least attempt to correct her.

    Comedy GOLD … “One convicted armed kidnapper, out early today, cheered “Big up Keir Starmer! I’m delighted… can’t believe they’re letting me out this soon,” as he posed in his shiny new £150,000 Bentley. Starmer’s response is to now condemn his own policy, claiming he “shares the public anger” over the early releases. You couldn’t make it up…”

      You’re right.

      On a similar theme, I saw a bit of Kamala’s appearance of Fox News.

      It was a disaster for her. She came across really poorly and as a bit of a dumbass who avoided answering questions, by just going on (and on) about Trump.

      At the end, she was asked why she hadn’t mentioned her policies during the chat. She then told viewers to go to wwwdot her name or whatever to see 80 pages of her policies.

      Just by chance, I then watched the great Norm Macdonald in his last performance (filmed at his home during Covid I think). Filmed in 2020 or 2021.

      In it, he took the mickey out of politicians who, after being asked to tell the public what they stand for ,tell everyone to go to ‘wwwdot their name dot com’ to read 50 pages of their policies.

      He said something like “Yeah. I’m not reading 50 pages of anything. Especially that. Because…you know…ahh…I only got one life. You know.”

      And then, Kamala actually does this (but worse…hers was 80 pages).

      Thick as fuck.

    Difference of £87B
    Debt interest is £109B
    Therefore if country didn’t have debt it would have an extra £22B to spend on public services.

    Interesting editorial in the guardian about the gangster case . The guardian implicitly suggests the jury got it wrong – and inconsistencies in the evidence of the cop infer guilt . The paper also plays the race card that 4 coloured men have been shot since 2005 – all apparently unarmed . My immediate response was ‘is that all ‘? Judging by the number of incidents involved coloured criminals using guns it might – should – be far more . Just testament to the effectiveness of police firearms training .

    The guardian – as always spouts about ‘community ‘ and accountability which translates into coloureds being less policedthan white people

    Bearing in mind the treatment of white protesters in recent demonstrations – and subsequent truly tragic suicides caused by brutal draconian sentences maybe the likes of the guardian look and support other victims of police / judicial brutality

    Sadiq Kahn before the trial:
    ‘young life cut short’, adding in 2022 that he understood ‘the grave concerns and impact of Chris’s death on black Londoners across our city and the anger, pain and fear it has caused – as well as the desire for justice and change’.

    After the trial:
    ‘There’s clearly still a wider lack of trust in the police, particularly within the black community, that needs to be addressed’, pledging he plans to ‘hold the Metropolitan Police to account to ensure any lessons are learnt’.

    What can be inferred from Kahn’s statement is that he maintains Martyn Blake and the Police were somehow to blame for Kaba’s death.

    What a disgrace Sadiq Kahn is. He should resign.

    Well, how embarrassing for a “British Government” and, of course the British people, under it’s socialist iron fist:

    “Donald Trump files complaint against Labour Party over ‘blatant foreign interference’ in the US election.

    Donald Trump put his relationship with Sir Keir Starmer under strain last night after accusing the ‘far-left’ Labour Party of ‘blatant foreign interference’ in the US election.

    Lawyers for the Republican presidential candidate have filed a complaint to the Federal Election Commission, accusing Labour of making ‘illegal foreign campaign contributions’ which was ‘accepted’ by Kamala Harris’s campaign.

    The comments come weeks after Mr Trump and Sir Keir held a two-hour dinner in New York, after which the former president said the Prime Minister was ‘very popular’.

    Mr Trump’s camp cited a now-deleted post on LinkedIn by Sofia Patel, Labour’s head of operations, which said 100 current and former staffers were going to be volunteering in battleground states such as North Carolina and Nevada.

    Rules about foreigners working in US elections are strict and state that they must volunteer and cannot receive any payment.

    Richard Grenell, former US Acting Director of National Intelligence and former ambassador to Germany under Trump, told Newsnight last night: ‘We don’t want to have any foreign interference in our elections… so I think this is a pretty open and shut case: don’t interfere in the American elections and you won’t be sued.”

    Elon Musk, the Tesla and X billionaire who has endorsed Mr Trump, said: ‘This is illegal.’ ”

    I seem to recall that accomodation would be provided, which to me seems to be a payment ? and probably travel costs too….

    “It also references a report in the Washington Post that suggested ‘strategists linked to Britain’s Labour Party have been offering advice to Kamala Harris about how to earn back disaffected voters and run a winning campaign from the centre left’.

    The complaint also mentioned reports that Morgan McSweeney, the PM’s chief of staff, and Matthew Doyle, Downing Street’s director of communications, met with Ms Harris’s team at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago over the summer.

    Mr Trump harked back to America’s Declaration of Independence from British rule in 1776 and said that the UK appeared to have ‘forgotten’ that the US wanted to be free .

    Help from Labour could amount to an ‘illegal foreign national contribution’, wrote Gary Lawkowski, deputy general counsel for the Trump campaign.

    That would be especially the case if ‘foreign nationals’ are ‘exercising direction’ over the Labour staffers as could well be the case, the document stated.

    Campaign co-manager Susie Wiles said in a statement that Americans will ‘once again reject the oppression of big government that we rejected in 1776’, another nod to America’s rejection of British rule.

    She said: ‘The Harris campaign’s acceptance and use of this illegal foreign assistance is just another feeble attempt in a long line of anti-American election interference’.

    In comments that will likely be embarrassing for Sir Keir, Ms Wiles added that the ‘far-left Labour Party has inspired Kamala’s dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric’.

    Just as I suspected, but could not prove, energy companies are lying to us, Scottish Power were trying this for years with me, until I changed supplier :

    “Your electricity meter is past its best before date: Power firms claim old models go off like veg.

    Energy suppliers are using a scare tactic to ‘trick’ households into getting a smart meter, Money Mail can reveal.

    Homes across the country have been receiving letters warning them that their old meter has passed its ‘best-before’ date – and comparing it to rotting food. Octopus Energy has been bombarding customers who do not have a smart meter with emails over the past two months, which read: ‘Your electricity meter has now reached the end of its certification period… We are required by law under the Electricity Act 1989 to get your meter replaced…’

    For those mystified by what this ‘certification period’ means, the Octopus website goes on to state: ‘Just like food, each electricity meter is given a ‘best-before’ date when manufactured.’

    But electrician Mike Redfern-Jones, of Denbigh, North Wales, who has been fitting energy meters for more than 30 years, says: ‘They are tricking people into switching by using food comparison scare tactics that make absolutely no sense.

    ‘We are not talking about a string of sausages or sliced bread, but a sturdy piece of equipment that can last for decades without any trouble.’
    He adds: ‘Traditional meters just never seem to go wrong. The only problem we have had is with the first generation of smart meters that have stopped working because the technology was rolled out before it was ready.’

    When asked whether old traditional meters have a best-before date, energy regulator Ofgem could not give a clear answer.

    Ms Bradford, a technical support manager, says she asked Octopus to provide evidence about why her old meter was supposedly out of date. The energy firm backed down and admitted she did not have to change the meter if she didn’t want to, she says.

    Ms Bradford adds: ‘Clearly, they are not trying to save us money – they just want to make more for themselves. We are being forced on to smart meters so that suppliers can read our hourly use to enable them to charge variable tariffs, with higher levies in busy times.'”

    The BBC refused to publish Kaba’s criminal past…others like the Standard and the Telegraph revealed it long ago….is the BBC’s approach dangerous? Hiding the truth allowed thousands of white girls to be raped and abused, hiding the truth led to wild rumours and riots this summer….could hiding the truth about Kaba have led to serious disorder ala 2011 as black acitivists and their media mouthpieces whip up the crowd as the family mouth the narrative they want to be heard…

    ‘Speaking to the BBC before the IOPC’s statement, father Prosper Kaba said: “For us, it is totally racist and criminal and we want all the community, especially the minority community, to see this as a racism case.”‘

    Maybe a more measured and truthful approach would have calmed things down…

    ‘ So concerned were the Metropolitan Police about the impact of the public being kept in the dark about Kaba’s background, that Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy wrote to the judge warning him it could result in civil unrest.

    DAC Cundy, who is responsible for local policing across London’s 32 boroughs, wrote: “Our assessment is that if the information in relation to Mr Kaba’s character is shared with the public, those who would seek to promote anti-police violence would gain less support and the overall likelihood of disorder and the risk to public safety would reduce.”

    He went on: “It is vital that members of the community are as well informed as is possible in relation to the circumstances of this case. Reporting on Mr Kaba’s character would be important in providing background to the case and alleviating community concerns that Mr Kaba was targeted by the police because of his ethnicity.’
