    As if we didn’t already know, British law is perverted…

    Regarding Judge Jeremy Richardson, the man who sentenced the patriotic grandfather, Peter Lynch, to two years and eight months.

    Lynch’s “crime” was essentially shouting abuse at police officers after the horrendous murder of the three kids in Southport. Remember this “offence” happened in Rotherham, where the Muslim rape gangs have been running rampant, but have been protected by the police, the Labour Party and the media for generations. I’ve no doubt Peter Lynch’s “blood was up.” Who could blame him? Not I…

    On the other hand, this same judge was in a rather more caring and sympathetic mood when he spared a predatory paedophile from going to prison after the culprit had been found guilty of stalking two schoolgirls aged just thirteen and also assaulting a disabled woman. “It would be cruel to send you to prison, you couldn’t cope.”

    So essentially, the paedo gets off scot free and the worried grandfather is sent into a Muzzie dominated nick where he “takes his own life.” Everybody knew his life would be made hell. Didn’t that gloating creep from Sky News say as much?

    Not only are our judiciary doing their level best not to send paedos to prison, even when they are there, Keir Starmer is now releasing them, FFS…

    Is it any wonder that people are taking the law into their own hands?

    Oh dear. The BBC are all in a tizz.

    One day after the BBC race-baiters stirred it up over the acquittal of the cop over the killing of Chris Kaba it is revealed that he was a key member of one of London’s most notorious criminal gangs, and shot someone in a nightclub only days before.. The car he was driving, an Audi. Q8 (how many can afford one of those btw) was linked to three other firearm offences. It is revealed the Kaba family did not want the judge to order the release of the above information. The BBC main news reported this.

    But back on BBC Londonistan, the tone is different. They are still backing Kaba to the hilt. ‘Justice for Chris’, vigils, and sorrowful coverage of the Kaba family members are all given top billing. . Maxing out on the BAME victimhood narrative.

    A total disgrace from the pro BAME far from impartial disgraceful BBC.

    Following on from the previous thread and the Guardian report about the Kaba death from 2022, the paper reports about ‘community pressure’ which generated the suspension and presumably the prosecution. The CPS would have been in full knowledge of the facts behind the case. The evidence which was withheld until after the case suggests that the CPS were not logical in their decision to prosecute. However potentially there is an unpalatable logic. If the new evidence is correct, then those applying the ‘public pressure’ have had their day in court and lost and the CPS are working on the basis that the legal action avoids another George Floyd moment. It of course traduces the rights of the policeman who should not stand the mental effort of a show trial, albeit he is not on show. Hardly a healthy sign for society but then that is where we are.

    Any apologies for the standard third rate emotional reporting by the Guardian – I doubt it.

    “Last week Chris Kaba, a 24-year-old aspiring architect and soon-to-be father, was shot dead by Metropolitan police officers in Streatham, south London. On Monday it was announced that the officer who fired at Chris Kaba – who was unarmed – had been suspended from duty. While the suspension is welcome, the fact that it took a full week after the incident and was as a result of public pressure, only gives more weight to the community’s concerns.”

        After watching everything they have done, my opinion of BLM now is that they are about 25% ‘decent’ people who want to stop racism in the places where it is a real issue and 75% anti-white racist thugs.

        Note how much they have been dropped by the MSM theses days since they finally cottoned on that they were supporting a racist organisation.

        They took so long because it suited them to support them due to their own leftist ant-right,anti-white agenda. In other words they were being complete hypocrites. A description which fits TTK right down to the ground.

    Sewage action edition

    You join us on a morning when Labour confirms its status as trades union for the public sector – mainly focused on improving the benefits accruing to the upper reaches of said public sector of course

    Public sector to be spared from budget tax raid on pensions… whereas private sector staff face lower wages and less money in retirement… The chancellor is expected to announce plans to impose national insurance on employers’ pension contributions… However the Treasury will reinburse public sector employers… This will cost the government an estimated £5 billion and means that the tax will fall entirely on businesses and, ultimately, private sector workers (Times)

    In other words – two-tier Sir Keir’s two-tier tax system

    The left-leaning junior pound shop Guardian that is the ‘i’ newpaper exhibits a severe case of that common mental block that can’t figure out that 70 million people suddenly taking to the khazi has put somewhat of a strain on our national sewage system: Sewage action, at last: toothless water watchdog faces axe in new Labour plan… Environment Secretary pays tribute to readers and i’s ‘tireless campaigning for clean rivers’ (‘i’)

    New New Labour new plan?

    One can’t help but recall TV comedy’s Blackadder and his dopey sidekick Baldrick – he of the cunning plans….

    Ministers consider non-profit water firms… could be banned from making profits (Guardian)

    Nationalisation ruled out as Government says it wants to attract private investment into sector (‘i’)

    How’s that going to work then? Private firms are supposed to ‘invest’ in a non-profit enterprise? There’s some magical thinking going on there.

    Biden asks voters to ‘politically lock up’ Trump
    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cpdqw2yd00dt

    The ULTIMATE in leftist projection from the fake President:

    ‘He repeated his attack that Trump is a threat to democracy, saying he wants “to eliminate, actually physically eliminate, shoot, kill, someone who he believes to be a threat to him”.’

    Perhaps a ‘without providing any evidence’ would fit here BBC – though I’ve never known you use it against the Left. All the evidence I have seen points to the exact opposite.

    ‘Biden then continued: “I know this sounds bizarre. I know if I said this five years ago you’d lock me up. We gotta lock him up.””
    After a pause, he added, “politically lock him up”.’

    Unfortunately the BBC don’t distinguish between the two types of locking up. The inference is that ‘Political Locking-Up’ is OK’. That would be just jailing him without any charge I presume.

    Just imagine how differently these far-Left cretins would have written that article if it was Trump saying it about Joe or the cackling idiot.

    Lost due to thread change, but significant I think. Labour party to be sued for electoral interference :

    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….

    A prime example of why Farage would be mistaken to call for proportional representation

    Soft right & leftists will always tend to gang up together against proper conservatives

    Austria far right shunned for coalition despite winning election… – despite the fact that the far-right Freedom Party won the general election last month. (Our BBC with a fine example of the journalistic ‘despite’)

    As the BBC throws a bit shade: The anti-immigrant, Russia-friendly Freedom Party came top in the election in September with almost 29% of the vote and its leader, Herbert Kickl, said he should lead the next government.

    “The parliamentary election on 29 September is not a race in which the party that crosses the finish line first automatically gets to form the government,” the 80-year-old president said in a televised address.

    “If a party wants to govern alone, it must clear the 50% hurdle. It is not sufficient to reach 10, 20 or 30%.”

      Aside from the deleted social media post the obvious elephant in the room were the historic comments of the Foreign Secretary about Trump being a nazi etc etc.

      Not one mention of this small issue. It was also an obvious question to ask Mr Reed but no, nothing to see here.

      Do the bBC think that by fitting the facts to the narrative by omission Trump will act differently. Of course he will not. Narrative never put a loaf of bread on the table and the British need to learn this very quickly.

    “Public sector workers’ golden pension pots ‘will be spared’ Chancellor’s £15BILLION national insurance raid in Budget – leaving private sector firms and staff to bear the whole burden.

    Chancellor Rachel Reeves is planning a huge move to impose NICs on employers’ contributions to retirement funds in the crucial package next Wednesday – despite complaints it is a ‘straightforward breach’ of Labour’s manifesto.

    However, it the burden will seemingly be borne entirely by the private sector, with Ms Reeves pumping an extra £5billion into NHS and other budgets to avoid cuts to headcount or wages.

    State workers still have pension incomes guaranteed to be a proportion of their salaries and index-linked – something that has almost entirely disappeared elsewhere in the economy. ”

    BBC late to the party again: “Is the system letting down people who were harmed by Covid vaccines?”

    They are pushing the line that — despite increasing numbers of emerging injuries — the Oxford/AZ vaccine saved 6m lives in its first year. This number comes from data company Airfinity, who have based it on an Imperial College study. Imperial’s dreadful predictive modelling at the start of Covid was contradicted by empirical evidence. It was also full of bugs and non-replicable output, and was only released for public scrutiny after Microsoft software engineers tried to clean it up.

    The BBC health editor now says “there is nothing in life that is free of risk. That includes vaccines.” Remind me again who the conspiracy theorists are? Astonishing whitewashing of the last 4yrs by the BBC.

      We , well at least I, tend to regard the TDS label as just a put down , a swipe, at people who we think hold unjustifiable and silly political views. We may be underestimating the reality and seriousness and impact of the illness on those we apply the label to.
      There is piece on the Neil Oliver show when he is interviewing an American political commentator , seemingly one of the very few neutral and objective ones that are left, who is genuinely worried about TDS sufferers.
      He know plenty of them and says that they cannot be reasoned with or calmed down and that many are in such a state that when Trump wins they are capable of anything.( I supposed that he meant assassination attempts or self immolation outside the WH , or murdering their whole family because they can’t live in a Trumpian hell)
      Somehow the media barrage of the last eight years has given them serious mental issues, they are genuinely deranged. Basically he worries that post election there maybe hundreds, thousands of these lunatics roaming American streets.
      I suppose that if you are subjected to day after day of exposure to the Trump bashing on the media you are brainwashed by it.

Supposedly to prevent the anychess from being over run by the shitters and vomiters that can’t or won’t wash their hands after going to the toilet. It will be initially aimed at the over 60’s.

    2.This Kaba crap. According,again to the teletext the verdict hasselt the black community traumatised!

    As the government calls for the Kaba Judgement to be respected the BBC puts this on the frontpage…

    Why is the BBC still giving credibilty and airtime to race grfiters intent on stirring up trouble? It’s a headline that clearly indicates that the judgement is somehow unacceptable and illegitimate.

    The BBC feeds the anger and disorder and division when it should be calling out these people rather than giving them a platform for their hate speech.

    And it was notable that Mark Easton today claimed that ‘from the start it looked like a case where an unarmed black man was killed by a white police officer.’

    No….from the start it was apparent what happened…there were eyewitnesses who stated clearly that Kaba refused to stop, rammed the police and was subsequently shot….using the car [which we knew then had been flagged as used in a firearms event days before] as a weapon….and on top of that Kaba’s criminal history was available for all to see…the Telegraph published it the day after the shooting….it is not a ‘new revelation’ as the BBC pronounced yesterday that Kaba was a dangerous gangster.

      Atlas, good idea.

      I was thinking about something similar yesterday. Because of Peter Lynch, I was wondering if it was possible to find the names of the other protesters who were fast-tracked into prison.

      I have no idea where to begin to look. The names and the prisons where they are being held so that we could write to them for moral support. It would be little comfort to them I’m sure, just a small gesture to let them know they are not forgotten.

        Atlas and Lucy,
        Excellent idea . I would like to join in if the names and prison addresses or family homes can be found. Crowd funding for Christmas present for any dependants may also be possible.

        It would also cock a snook at the totalitarian government and show resistance was growing.

    But a South African pumping in millions to Trump so he can deregulate any limits on his businesses, and the daily bribery of voters to sign up to his schemes, all fine. And as for wholesale Russian interference …. Really not a problem.

    This human stain is now restored to BBC QT duty.

    Musk is a naturalized American citizen; if someone implied a foreign-born Labour MP like Afzal Khan was really just “Pakistani” you would probably report them to the police for hate speech.

    Not directly BBC but then not unrelated either.

    Waiting with a friend at hospital for an oncology appointment and injections ( enough said). Said friend paid 37 years of NI contributions and waited 3 months to see the consultant.

    An elderly patient, male, BAME, , possibly Pakistan heritage, blind, with a white stick and unable to speak English, came along the corridor, guided by a friend/ relative and a nurse.y

    Now call me callous and racist but I’d love to know why this person is here and what he has contributed to the British economy. Apart obviously from giving the Far Left a huge orgasm.

      Piers Morgan to Sadiq Khan: Where Are The 400 Known Jihadists In London?
      Posted By Tim Hains
      On Date June 7, 2017

      Mayor of London Sadiq Kahn said that there are more than 200 known “jihadists” loose in the city who have returned from Syria, in an interview with Piers Morgan on Wednesday’s edition of ‘Good Morning Britain.’

      PIERS MORGAN: Where are they?

      CO-HOST: How can you let people back into the UK who have actually fought, potentially against our troops, how are we letting them back in without knowing exactly where they are and what they’re up to?

      MAYOR SADIQ KHAN: THat’s why it doesn’t make sense to be cutting resources–

      CO-HOST: But you’re the mayor!

      KHAN: I can’t follow 400 people.

      MORGAN: Why can’t you?

      KHAN: We need resources for the police and the experts.

      MORGAN: Why can’t instruct the police right now and say every one of those people who have come back from a warzone who are in London, I want them followed.

      KHAN: The Met Police budget… comes from the central government, and has been shrunk and reduced…

      PIERS MORGAN: What could be a bigger priority than people coming back from a Syrian battlefield with the intent to harm British citizens? Why’s it not the number one priority? Why are these people allowed to just come back in in the first place and then the London mayor does not have a clue to where any of them are?

      No disrespect to you but where are they?

    Play the Labour Lottery for the chance to win £1,000 every week and help Labour rebuild its election fund.
    Aug 2, 2024

    https://labour.org.uk/updates/members-updates/the-labour-lottery/

    Here’s why you should get in on the action:

    Win up to £1,000 every week: save or spend, you’ve got the chance to win first prize every single week.

    Help Labour rebuild it’s war chest: a well-organised, well-funded campaign. That’s how we won this general election, and it’s a cornerstone of how we plan to win the next one. The Labour Lottery will be pivotal to this effort.
    ** LORD ALLI HAS 10000000 TICKETS ALREADY

    A decade of national renewal: we’re already making preparations for the next general election, so we can deliver the decade of national renewal that our country needs. Labour Lottery proceeds go straight into our election funds.

    This afternoon in the supermarket I came across two incredibly obese women, using the trollies as walking sticks. They were wearing identical clothes. Weird.
    Then I thought about the billions about to be spent by the anychess and hence by the taxpayer on anti obesity injections. Someone has been chastised btw for daring to suggest this might force some people back to work and hence such treatment is economic not purely healthcare. Cretinous lefties. But I digress.
    Because think of the dieting industry. Low cal food. Dieting clubs. Slimming World, Weightwatchers. All private businesses existing on their own supply/demand, success/ fail criteria. And about to be put out of business, and people put out of jobs, by state sponsored and taxpayer funded NHS bought drugs.
    If that is not unfair competition, I don’t know what is.

    I was with two friends today drinking coffee. Both have votes in the vote for a new leader. We were bewailing the state of the UK when one added ‘yes, and the state of the world if Trump gets a second term’. I was open mouthed, as the other immediately agreed. How to approach a response. My answer was to suggest that however bad, he was still better than Kamala.

    I never watch the BBC. This constant hate of Trump, I could believe there might be subliminal messaging on the BBC. Otherwise where does this group think come from?

      I experience the same Debs. The vitriol against Trump I find unprecedented; particularly amongst my own age group. Once I start offering another perception it’s then I realised how (and it grieves me to say this) how dense and one dimensional thinking my mates have.

        Debs and Briss. I have the same problem with some of my mates.
        I just put this question to them and they are usually stumped for an answer.
        ‘Can you tell me any policy that Donald Trump ordered whilst he was president that were not in the international or American public interest?
        Usually met with silence. I follow this up by informing them that they suffer from Trump derangement syndrome….. More silence.

          It affects a few people down here to!

          A lovely old friend, in her nineties and walking a mile a day, started chatting about President Trump for some reason and said, ‘I assume you don’t like him’, to which I had to tell her straight, that it wasn’t the case!

          She looked somewhat perplexed, and asked why, and all I had to explain was that I disliked the Clintons, the Pelosis, the Obamas and the Bidens much more than a few Republicans, and somehow she continued her walk even more than somewhat perplexed…

          She’s a dear old soul, and we’re all very fond of her, but somehow, this rabid belief in BBC anti-Trump dross does still infest the lives for some people!

      It’s unfortunate that this mental defective still gets noticed . I thought it look at wiki – Elon must went to Canada aged 18 and got Canadian citizenship because his mother was / is Canadian ….
      I don’t know when he got US citizenship – but Campbell shows the difference between the far left and decent people . X allows him to comment – even against the owner of the company … Campbell would cancel and probably kill anyone who he disapproves of . Nut job .

    Just said similar to @BBCNews and will do so shortly on @BBCWorldatOne … a non story straight out of the Trump campaign divert and distract playbook. Diverting among other things from the fact his ex chief of staff has warned he is a fascist.

      Briss,

      From The Mail (When Capes was a policeman)

      He had been sent out to arrest a man for non-payment of a fine.

      ‘I knocked on his front door and he didn’t answer, so I looked through the window and the front room was full of the most beautiful birds – I’d always loved birds. When he eventually opened the door, I asked if I could come in and have a look.

      ‘So we sat down and had a cup of tea and had a lovely chat about budgerigars. I did eventually remember to arrest him,’ he told the Mail in 2009.

      ‘But he was very good about it and started me off with my first three pairs of budgerigars. I’ve never looked back.’

    A comment on Aslseelt’s ‘sewage action’ post near the top of this thread.

    Even illegal asylum seekers and off-the-books immigrants need to have a s*** from time to time. Thus the total amount of sewage is closely linked to the actual population. The difference between the population figure arising from sewage production and the ‘official’ population from census returns, local voter registration, HMRC data, and school numbers etc etc etc gives the number of illegals pretty accurately. Might it also explain why we get so much sewage overflow into our rivers? It might not just be heavy rain ( due of course to climate change – hahaha) but the unplanned high sewage levels.

    An inconvenient (get it?) truth unlikely to feature on BBC verify any time soon.
