Jews in Germany in 1939 were taxed extremely heavily to get permission to leave Germany.
After Wednesday’s budget, i feel in a similar situation, only it is to get permission to meet my maker.
Well done Deborah you have a first place. You beat me to it! I hope that you do not go off to meet your maker any time soon.
I’m not intending to, but a bit of good news on the MSM would do us all a lot of good.
For some people – all saints today – Saturday – all souls .. but some how I think the likes of Starmer ( lawyer ) doesn’t have one …
Rsoul?
Debs, agreed! How about Starmer and Reeves both resign?
Snuffy !! Where’ve you been ?? You’ve been missed.
Brissles my dear old thing, well cricket is being played somewhere in the world, although for England’s men it is not proper cricket ie. Test Matches.
Only by you! 🙂 I had nearly a month of no internet access with continual phone calls from my ISP in various offices around the world, then visits from engineers and eventually BT had to get involved. Then I saw the light, just as I went out for essential supplies, burning steadily on my router.
Bluebottle type thinks: Hello everybody, will I get deaded by the internet or does it mean I have a live connection after all. Extra thinks: I know, I will try after I get home. Teeee heee. My internet is not deaded anymore!
catchup lnk to page 5 of the Midweek Thread
Some good posts there
And worth checking before you spend ages typing in something someone has already posted.
You’re right, Stew – there was some great banter last evening!
For the early part, I was at my desk, because the dog was terrified by the bloody fireworks again, and hiding underneath…
Good analogy Debs.
(Replying to your opening gambit )
BBC to buy The Guardian? which is facing an escalating backlash over the proposed deal, which would see the Observer pass from the £1.3bn Scott Trust endowment into the hands of Tortoise Media, a digital venture founded by former BBC News boss James Harding.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/11/01/guardian-bosses-concessions-save-observer-sale-rebellion/
Yes the BBC ‘luvvies’ like a hard up. That is if they can ‘wang’ an advantage, and they do have a problem as the whole Guardian ‘Newspaper group’ has long term falling sales, if not the worst sales of ALL the UK newspapers in this country bar one, (FT has fewer sales). Basically its about to fold.
https://pressgazette.co.uk/news/abc-analysis-june-2021-circulation-subscription-newsstand/
Unlike the BBC, thanks to ‘the unique way in which the BBC is funded’, can afford to pay its main recruitment portal. Almost all BBC ‘ads’ end up in the back pages of the Guardian. BBC hates to feature Recruitment Ads on its own channels! And The Guardian journalists ONLY hope of ‘making BIG money’ is working for the BBC someday (A dream they all share). Its a ‘symbiotic relationship’ for the BBC, but the Guardian is losing money big time,- so they need someone with BIG, deep pockets. Can the cash-strapped BBC afford it? They have not had a TV license increase for at least, three months.! They may have to ask SOROS or GATES for some ‘extra’ cash. OK James Harding can call it ‘Tortoise Media’, but its the same cloak of the left controlling the news feed, they want ‘control’, even if it means they have to raise the TV license again. Cash strapped, as they are…, not that they are short of a few bob themselves, you understand… its just to make a profit on the side, you know from the recruitment Ads.
Philip_2, the BBC are currently pleading poverty and will axe Market Data from their web-site from the end of November: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgl0zprpjeo.
I tend to look at it every weekday as it provides essential information (less than it did a few years ago – eg. no real commodity prices except oil and gas) which begs the question: why does everything get worse about the BBC? And when will Tim Davie resign?
Meanwhile in the People’s Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire…..
For 50 years, Sandford Road in Doncaster has been a dual carriageway and rather nice too. A wide grass verge with trees separates the road from the pavement.
But this is not good enough for the modern day eco-fanatics.
One lane on each carriageway has been made into a wide cycle lane. A new raised kerb in what was the middle of the road separates the cycle lane from the remaining road lane. Another kerb separates the road lane from the central reservation. The bus stops are part of the road lane. If a bus stops, so does all the traffic behind for as long as it takes. No overtaking is possible. Any broken down vehicles now block the road entirely, making it impassable.
I drove, incredulously, up and down this road last week. I never saw a single cyclist.
Does this achieve anything other than provide jobs for virtue-signalling, unelected, job secure, council traffic officials?
It does nothing for anybody else. Except perhaps Justin Rowlatt.
Fcku Red Nose Day.
I’m proposing an annual Red Noose Day.
At lamposts next to cycle lanes.
And pride flagpoles.
Sluff
This is ‘Malicious Design’ I am convinced with so many examples to see that this is about wasting fuel. If the bus stops then just think of all the fuel wasted in all the cars behind. 80% of fuel cost is tax. Kerching kerching. In addition look at all the time wasted, this should be called ‘Time Theft’. To a sociopathic planner this must all be very satisfying and has nothing whatsoever to do with saving the planet.
Watermelons. Not green they’re red!
You’re right, Atlas!
Just peering at Google maps, there’s even a feeder road on one side, running parallel to the main carriageways, and ample spaces for building bus laybys as well!
What happens when the rubbish lorries take over once a week too? And presumably a cop car on blues and twos will be driving all over the kerbs to get there before closing time!
This is utterly crazy design, and a total waste of tax-payers’ money!
Presumably, Sluffy, the commune at the council will be asking for more government funding from the green money tree, to satisfy the box-ticking!
The commune at the council built itself a magnificent brand new office block about seven years ago. It is surrounded by traffic free pavements. A litter sweeper regularly goes around keeping it clean. All that’s missing is a ‘no riff raff’ sign to keep actual residents away.

They cannot tolerate X and Elon Musk and wage continual war against him via their pet marxists at the bbc and other media, even threatening legal action, they fine GB News wherever they can, and are desperate to stop unapproved opinions on social media, trying to limit free speech via jail sentences and further laws.
And the bbc continues to say and print whatever it likes with impunity, including allowing hate speech and threats of violence against right wing politicians parading as “comedy”, despite numerous complaints, for which they NEVER apologise or admit wrongdoing.
That’s where the Left’s new catchphrase ‘by any means necessary’ inevitably leads. One small step at a time.
It’s been as clear as day to me for a few years now : we are witnessing the rise of the new Nazis. I really am concerned about what they will do if Trump wins by a margin big enough that they can’t cheat.
Kim Jong Un was China’s ally – until he became the ‘comrade from hell’
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c207gzprr33o
This totally misleading headline is another excellent example of how the BBC make totally unfounded assertions to make you think in line with their own political agenda.
For this headline to be true, the statement MUST have come from China somewhere. So I looked and had to scroll a long way down to discover it is from a complete nobody ‘Research Fellow’ in Leeds called Aidan Foster.
What’s next BBC ? – big, damning headlines from an activist you spoke to at the coffee machine ?.
Totally ridiculous. They are presenting quotes by suitable nobodies as fact a lot these days. Especially from places like Gaza. It’s what you do to cheat when you can’t prove what you want to say.
What desperate BBC activist was instructed to write this by someone on the third floor do I hear you ask ?.
This one:
The entire story is obviously to attack North Korea because they are now fighting in Ukraine. The BBC are slurring something so the dirty label sticks for other stories. This is what they do for Trump, Farage, Boris and anything else which they want to turn people against.
The rebel painter who ushered in a new era of Indian art
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c87x85ynw49o
And from absolutely nowhere the BBC decide we need to be told about this story which nobody at all is interested in. It’s to keep the non-white article ratio up while the BBC activists – driven by spite – giggle to themselves at getting away with pushing another such article in front of racist whitey.
Don’t bother reading it. All you need to know is he churned out crap like this:
In a report by her:
Meanwhile much less important stories – like murder – go unreported by the BBC:
Sussex Road, Harrow stabbing: Javan Lee charged with murder
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/man-charged-murder-man-stabbed-sussex-road-harrow-met-police-b1191563.html
No pictures of anyone so you can be sure they are black. A consequence of the racist society we now live in. Not because of the black people of course, but because of racist white left-wing activists.
I’ve heard a few BBC taking head types and ‘leaders’ saying claims of a two tier police and justice system are ‘dangerous’ or even a ‘conspiracy theory’.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2064lve0neo
Well, tell me how a labour MP is caught bang to rights on video, punching a man in the face and then attacking him while he was down, a week ago today and he’s still not been arrested (interviewed under caution only) or even charged by the CPS?
You’d have to be a retard of monumental proportions not to think we have a two tiered system.
Our bought and paid for ‘leaders’, including those within our institutions, are a complete and utter disgrace.
They ALL need to go.
Where’s Chris Brown the Labour MP
What’s the story ?
Nick Brown I meant
Stew:
Not an MP any more. The story has died, we will never know.
It’s the same with Starmer’s “big secret”
It’s as if it’s vanished
Jay Beecher says the Sun has the info but is afraid to releaase it
“Harry Cole said months ago the media are fully aware of all the details but there is still Court action on this banning them from publishing even Brown who is no longer an MP or member of the Party isn’t saying anything?”
Analysis of Politics Joe reporting
He concludes this London liberal media outfit are twisters who are full of hate for the working class.
In case you missed it – Tommy Robinson has been moved to the wing of a cat B prison which is infested with Muslims ….
Apart from setting him up to be killed I reckon the prison service can wipe all those emails sent to belmarsh supporting him.
When the state finally kills him I wonder what the reaction will be ?
The state will want to destroy his support using TTK approved judges firing out those 2 year prison sentences – any demos will be ruthlessly suppressed – peaceful or otherwise …
Welcome to a foreign soviet Britain
He keeps the same number:
A2084CG
HMP Woodhill,
V2 Tattenhoe St,
Milton Keynes
MK4 4DA
Atlas – thanks – im sure the state will log anyone writing to him or e mails – right t 77 brigade ? – if he survives I suppose they’ll move him again in a week or two to keep him demoralised ….
It’s a Shame he allowed himself to be manoeuvred into a prison sentence …. He can’t have intended it …
I will send a postcard. In principle now that stamps are bar-coded they could get the CCTV footage of when you bought the stamps at the post office.
We are all Tommy now.
CPS.
Does that mean ‘Courts Pleasing Starmer’?
Saturday sees the announcement of the new leader of the dead blue Labour Party … why bother ?
Actually I do think it matters Fed. If Badenoch wins it will be business as usual with a few gobbets of red meat thrown to the Tory base to stop more of them deserting to Reform . She is a Globalist supported by the likes of Gove. Like all Globalists She will be much more against Reform than she will be against Labour. She may well turn TTK into mince meat but she will still be a Globalist.
Jenrick might be more willing to take on the One Nation Globalists for control of the Tories and be willing to form an alliance with Reform. Of course he may well not be able to defeat the One Nation mob or to get control of the party and so open the door to forming an alliance with Reform.
But at least his failure should lay to rest any residual hopes that the Tories are salvageable as a right wing anti Globalist party and convince more of the Tory base that their party is dead and that Reform is the only option.
Whichever you look at it the best thing for Reform is that Jenrick becomes Tory leader.
Double – interesting – up until the budget i took the view that the conservative ‘brand ‘ was dead ( hence calling it the dead party ) .
However in 2028/9 we could be in the reverse position from the 2024 election when it is ‘anyone but labour ‘
I can’t see Reform being strong and organised enough to be viable in parliament alone . I would still vote Reform though – even though it’s not Right enough for me …. But then I am way out of my time ….
I think the blues are still in denial for what they’ve done to us and deserve damnation
Not sure DT. Reform are a symptom of the blue marxists but the reality of the situation is that there is not enough time to deliver a new platform before labour implodes.
I have been absolutely shocked at how poor a party can be despite 14 years to prepare.
The budget of the 20% demonstrates that they are an interest group not a political party, and will deliver inflation and then recession.
Despite their majority the longer they stay in office after 2026 the more damage that will be inflicted onto UK society.
There needs to be a credible opposition with a plan to dismantle the current establishment and return value to the ballot box. The next government has three years in which to develop this plan. With the best will in the world Reform will not achieve that – not for a desire but for not having the structures.
The real risk is that this government will impoverish the UK and the next government will be a coalition of marxists, lib dems, greens and labour (in that order of daftness); I can point you to many local authorities that have gone down that route.
Just a lateral thought but it would be interesting if a character such as Elon Musk became involved in UK politics.
Non – I reckon you hit it with the next government being a rabble coalition …
“Is Britain ready for a foreign Prime Minister?”
Seems “our” Kemi Badenough obtained British citizenship by default.
One of the usual stories about Nigerian pregnant females fleeing to the wide open arms of the NHS when the time is right or a difficult pregnancy is predicted. Child becomes a British Citizen on birth. The mothers normally can then flee the NHS (without paying for their ‘treatment’) and the UK back to Nigeria.
All good fun.
All MPs from the uniparty are bought and paid for.
The rhetoric will be the sort of stuff to make the left go apoplectic, but in reality, it’ll just be globalism as usual and the MPs lining their pockets ‘consulting’ with big corporations and various NGO’s.
100k up for ‘speeches’ after retiring as an MP. Who on Earth would pay that? We’re supposed to believe it’s for no reason other than to hear their views? Nonsense!
It’s pretty obvious to me what’s going on here.
Lammy has ‘claimed’ £3m in expenses in recent years.
£3 million!
Plenty of others all on the take too.
I’d lock the lot of them up. And that key would never see the light of day either.
They do not give a toss about anything but their own bank balances and juicy nest eggs on retirement.
Fed, according to the i newspaper, the Conservatives are ahead of Labour for the first time since whenever, only 1% though. TTK is at his most unpopular since the Reeve’s Budget Bullocks (© The Sun newspaper). I think the best thing for Labour but not the BBC is for TTK & Reeves to resign.
Choppy waters ahead!

Glad your Wi-Fi has recovered ..i noticed a couple of people – including Farage suggesting that the reds will run out of money and have to go to the IMF in a couple of years
– based on what others have said after the budget – that the reds didn’t raise enough and will have to do it again in 25/26 or 26/27 … i now think that is ever closer ..
It’s a bit sad that I hope the economy is further wrecked in order to get rid of the reds ,
However … non licence – suggested that next time there will be a red green liberal regime god help us
Fed, think you are right on Labour running out of our money. Think inflation will increase and interest rates will have to increase as well; mortgages will become increasingly expensive and all those houses that Ange was planning to sell will be unsold and possibly housebuilders going bankrupt as well.
As I posted earlier, there are choppy waters ahead. Minibrain’s plan to get the cost of energy down will fail completely thanks to Contracts for Difference.

After what reeve has done in this budget – i wonder how people are going to react when she hikes taxes again next time and the time after ?
The cost UK borrowing is only going up – together with That £120 billion a year using tax money to service the debt …. and going up,…
Dude has to get back on QT soon, surely?

Less than a week ago, a donor to Trump, speaking as a warm-up act at a Trump rally, suggested Kamala Harris is a prostitute. Not only has there been very little media discussion, let alone condemnation, of his specific remark regarding her ‘pimp handlers’ but Trump hasn’t been asked about it at all.
It’s insane. And makes me feel like I am losing my mind.
#ccbgb With a few historical tidbits added.
Oh, and Mehdi…. ‘Losing’?
Let’s see :
“StopAntisemitism wrote that “Qatari mouthpiece and anti-Israel propaganda machine Mehdi Hasan leaves MSNBC after the network dumps his show.”
“The host of MSNBC’s “The Mehdi Hasan Show” tweeted a libelous claim on Saturday about a supposed Israel Defense Forces sniper injuring a Palestinian boy, reported the media watchdog group CAMERA.”
“how Hasan introduced his guest: “Congressman Levin joins me now. Thank you for coming on the show. Let me get right to it. You are Jewish. Why is a pro-Israel lobby group using a super PAC and dark money to try and defeat you in a Democratic primary?”
“No reasonable observer would ever accuse Mehdi Hasan of providing thoughtful, balanced, and insightful discussions on the newsworthy subjects of the day, especially when the subject has anything to do with Jews. On June 4th, that happened to be the antisemitic screed at the City University of New York School of Law’s commencement ceremony, in which the speaker, Fatima Mohammed, called on her audience to use their rage to “fight against…Zionism around the world” and railed against “investors.” The speech was widely criticized and condemned by Jewish groups, university officials, and political leaders.
Once again upholding his reputation, the MSNBC host rode to Mohammed’s defense. The result was nine minutes of Hasan and his guests enthusiastically embracing willful blindness, legal nonsense, and material omissions.”
“A simple search of Hasan’s Twitter account returns example after example of Hasan playing this game, whereby he tweets about an offensive statement by political opponents and asks variations of “imagine how big a story this would be if Ilhan Omar had done this.” He resorts to this playbook again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and ag-, well, you get the point.
It’s almost as if Hasan is uninterested in condemning anti-Semitism unless it can advance his partisan interests, or unless he can use the incident to depict his colleague Ilhan Omar as a victim.”
“Hasan’s lame attempts to cast Omar’s repeated employment of classic anti-Semitic tropes as merely “criticism of Israel,” alongside his constant efforts to politicize anti-Semitism, serve as a reminder that bigotry, including anti-Semitism, must be combatted because it is morally reprehensible, not because it is politically convenient.”
People are going to get terrorised – but it’s not what you think edition.
Ban the guys
As alt-media dissident professor Ed Dutton, aka The Jolly Heretic, discerns “Girl Communism” in the strategy of Starmer’s government – collectivism, extreme harm avoidance and a nannying indiscriminate equity…
And in a seasonal observation that mainstream-disapproved commentator Simon Webb, aka History Debunked, observes how in his opinion: guys, bonfires and even fireworks are being banned on Guy Fawkes Night…
Meanwhile, the gynaeceum that is BBC news reports: ‘Sometimes I can’t cope with Mum’s firework death’…”People are going to get terrorised tonight…” This is what teenager Kai Cooper asked the man running a fireworks shop” (BBC)
Well, we can’t have people being terrorised – not in this day and age, eh Keir Starmer?
Firefighter warning ahead of Bonfire weekend… Firefighters have warned people against setting off their own fireworks (BBC)
Fireworks cause blaze on coastal path cliff edge… The fire service noted that it is illegal to set off fireworks, including sparklers, in a public place (BBC)
‘Consequences Cards’ issued ahead of Bonfire Night… The cards are being handed out by youth workers, police officers and firefighters… Advice cards outlining the law over the use of fireworks and the penalties for ignoring it are being handed out in Bradford ahead of Bonfire Night. (BBC)
Liverpool: Officer loses hearing as firework thrown at him (BBC)
Officer injured as riot police called to Edinburgh fireworks disorder (BBC)
Remember folks, it’s not a conspiracy theory, if it’s true.
Gynaeceum that is BBC news staff, you say Mr AsI..?
Extraordinarily, the top pick of the BBC online print press line-up today is the ever-excitable Daily Mail – one supposes the BBC needs to massage their balance figures every now and again. They can’t have the title count machine coming up Guardian day in day out. Three lemons in a row.
Royal World Exclusive… Charles cuts off Andrew’s… – calm down dears…
Charles cuts off Andrew’s financial lifeline (Daily Mail)
King cuts off Duke of York… £1 million a year allowance (Telegraph) – so not all that world exclusive was it?
Girl Communism… Gynaeceum… what is all this malarkey?
Heidi Klum at 51… The joys of a (much) older husband (the formerly serious Times)
Vagina myths busted (Guardian)
Moving quickly on… Extreme harm avoidance, you say?
Caitlin Moran… My mission to save the hedgehogs (the formerly serious Times)
Paris Fury – nope, in this instance it’s not the immigrant Banlieues up in flames again.
Mind you: France shooting injures five and sparks mass brawl… A drug trafficking-related shooting in the western French city of Poitiers escalated into a brawl on Thursday night, potentially involving up to 600 people, French authorities say. (BBC) – 600 people you say? French people – armed with baguettes and lobbing the odd croissant, presumably? Ooh La La! Sacre bleu!
Many French cities are plagued by drug gangs who often operate in the low-income, high-rise housing estates on the outskirts of the historic city centres. (France 24)
The shootout erupted in front of a Poitiers restaurant, reportedly the ‘L’Othentik’ kebab shop… – Kebab shop!!! I think Raymond Blanc just commited harakiri with his own spatula…!
‘L’Othentik’ kebab shop, overnight after shots were ‘fired from a passing car injuring a number of people’, the minister said… Cops said that between 400 and 600 people were involved in the violence that escalated in the aftermath of the shootout, which reportedly came ‘against a backdrop of tensions between the Maghreb and Guadeloupean communities.’ (Daily Mail) – the latter specifics about the parties involved are not reported by BBC or indeed many other news outlets which simply mimic the BBC report.
And there we were thinking the Battle of Poitiers was fought in 1356 between a French army commanded by King John II and an Anglo-Gascon force under Edward, the Black Prince
On a positive Francophile note: Dress for a party like a French woman (Telegraph)
But we digressed somewhat.
Paris Fury: I hid the loss of our baby from Tyson… Fighter’s brave wife tells of family sorrow (Mirror)
To complete and round-up this look at our female-oriented papers – Vanessa Feltz is all over the frontpage of the Express dubbed Express’s Vanessa
And: Reeves in row over plan to cut funds for slavery museum (‘i’) – oh dear, how sad, never mind.
But of course the BBC’s downright obsession with the US election goes on unabated: Harris campaigns with Cardi B in Wisconsin as Trump hosts rally in the battleground state – Kamala celebrates with yet another feamle celeb endorsement there – as The Donald simply holds another rally.
Donald Trump hosted a duelling rally in the city of Milwaukee, where our correspondent reports technical issues (BBC) – they just can’t help themselves adding the snarky remark.

Proud to be one of the 237 media professionals and others, including 101 of the BBC’s own staff, to have signed this letter
#ccbgb
It would be more effective if they all resigned as a matter of principle. The trouble is that the stonking salaries and pensions paid for ‘talent’ by the bBC trumps (haha) principle.
Rivkah (Jewish for Rebecca) missed out the word ‘anti-‘ from before Israel in the letter. Perhaps that is why CCBGB? Dem grate Bibbycee usually run with the excuse that ‘foreign journalists’ are not allowed into Gaza by the Israeli authorities. Certainly not if the bias is going to be even more plentiful!
R4 now the constant agenda pushing that being white British is an inferior thing.
Blurb “Phil Wang, who says he wouldn’t be a comedian if he wasn’t of mixed heritage, Malaysian and British, his latest Netflix special opens on the subject of reheating rice and how in the west we’re afraid to do that…so what does his dual heritage allow him to do
A question we could also put to Chitra Soundar, the award-winning children’s writer, who grew up in India, and whose books have inspired the new BBC animated sitcom Nikhil & Jay which is about two Indian/British dual heritage brothers.”
Nihal is one of the presenters
The other presenter is Nikki Bedi
“Nikhila Bedi ( /ˈbeɪdi/; née Moolgaoker; 9 September 1966) is a British television and radio presenter, born to an Indian father of Maharashtrian origin and an English mother. She was married to food stylist Sunil Vijayakar before her second marriage to Kabir Bedi from 1992 to 2005; she retained her married name after their divorce.[2][3] She describes herself as Indo-Anglian”
Switched to BBC local radio : The guest is the organiser of Hull Gay Pride ..the presenter loves it.
This scheme should really be pushed IMHO i.e. Buses4Wimmin:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqlvwpe931zo
Because then they can pay for them. All public spaces to become man-free. The only acceptable male-spaces are prisons. Dont get me started on the hate-male posters above public urinals. They are enough to make your prostate spontaneously implode. Which brings me to my new campaign idea:
Hedges4Men
WOman at the front? Men at the back!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqlvwpe931zo
a_s at the risk of my prostate imploding there is one big void in the sexual equality act and it is this: how are the government going to deliver the act during a period of conflict. Will conscription be on a 50:50 basis? how are they going to deliver equality of outcomes?
One suspects that they will revert to the Ukrainian and Russian approach and just conscript men (a sexist characteristic of the war never mentioned by the bBC). Sadly for the UK they may find that this will not work in the future; men are not that thick (despite the UK education system). Just speculation of course because I can recall no discussion of the matter.
n-l p, I remember at the start of the Ukraine concflict while Bojo was still PM, the MSM, including dem grate Bibbycee, were desperate to show females fighting on behalf of Ukraine, especially if they were ‘fit looking’. 😉 🙂
Mark Easton, 6pm News 21/10/2024 your ‘Home Editor’ stated that,
“George Floyd, an unarmed black man was shot dead by police in Minneapolis, in 2020” ?
#1 He wasn’t shot
#2 He was comparing the case to Chris Kaba
failing to mention that Kaba was ARMED with a car pointing at officers
Aug 1 sweeping comment by @BBCMarkEaston on Midnight News
“Research suggests there’s no link between violent crime and the number of asylum seekers or foreign workers in a population.”
DOH ..Manchester Arena bombing etc .
Link to “Research suggests”?
Oh I’m sure plenty of links like that are around.
Academia is a joke. You know the outcome of almost any ‘social science’ paper before you start reading it.
Muh socio economics muh white privilege muh institutional racism muh more ‘research’ (they mean money) is needed.
There is plenty of real data about though (but not for long!) The FBI’s own crime statistics, for example.
Studies were done decades ago and gave some startling conclusions on IQ/certain groups and its links to violent crime.
All ‘debunked’ now of course.
The result being that we now have a situation where it will forever be ‘whitey’s’ fault and more cash, jobs and power will need to be removed from whitey. Nothing will ever be enough.
Because academia is too cowardly to look at and research certain topics with absolute honesty.
Anti white hatred doesn’t stop until we are either all dead/reduced to slavery or academia starts being honest.

“House left teetering on clifftop after rockfall”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn8grjjrk7lo
So it’s now swaying back and forth, hanging half over the cliff edge ?
“The property, near Sidmouth, in Devon, is now only 40ft (12m) from the 400ft (121m) drop over the edge.”
Actually the exact same distance it was before the rockfall, which was a little up the coast.
Retarded BBC ‘journalists’
Looks to me there were two rockfalls
The huge one in your photo
and a smallers one in the back garden of the house taking out the coastal path
… see the light band of sandy rock about the swathe of pinkish rock
Looking at the webshite I see that criticism and implications of the Rachel Thieves budget is now relegated to the newspaper review section. That is it is covered on the front pages of various newspapers…….but not by the BBC itself.
Don’t want to be negative about our Labour government, do we?
The BBC has plenty of anarchist Marxist news editors.
However ,have we now got a COMMUNIST government?

I work part-time at Tesco. Logged into staff website to see if any additional shifts so I can afford to heat AND eat. As usual there’s a few general messages about the company :
– an update on Tesco Bank.
– from waste to plate.
Both quite interesting items. Then….
– Celebrating Black owned businesses.
Capital B of course. Talks about partnering with more black (sorry Black) owned businesses. Which means exactly the same as fewer white (White ? ) businesses. Or brown for that matter. Then making Tesco a welcoming place for Black customers. How do their needs differ from mine ? How are they currently made unwelcome. Do we charge them more for the same items ? Are they banned from the toilets ?
This is Tesco – supposedly a hard-faced, profit driven success story. Why can’t just one aspect of my life be exempt from this nonsense. Racist nonsense at that.
Oh and the final Tesco colleague (!) update ?
– Happy Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas !
Back to bed…..
If Tesco based their annual Sales Budget on blacks walking through the door, they’d be bust soon. That’s what dedicating everything to the 3.5 / 4% of lthe population would do for the mighty Tesco. A lesson not learnt…….yet.
I’ve mentioned before that younger brother is a Labour Councillor (always the rebel) in a majority led Council, and speaking to him yesterday it seems there is major dissent amongst the worker bees. The reaction to the suits, specs and freebies scandal was a united “what the f… is going on ?” and couldn’t believe what was coming to light and unfolding every day.
I long since gave up on Labour, but I do feel sorry (for those of any party) like my brother who believe in their concept, and go out canvassing in all weathers, and do “their bit” for the party, only to see those they’re rooting for let the troops down so badly – in effect spitting in their eye.
My brother realises his time is up and is embarrassed to discuss it. Starmer & Co have already wrecked the country but also the moral of their boots on the ground.
BBC: Folks create unrest after diversity slaughters children’ = far right riots’/’racist thugs’ with no sympathy for those given ridiculous, politically motivated sentences.
Also BBC: Labour politicians punch people in the face and then continue the assault while the victim is on the floor or call for a mob they have influence over to ‘slit the throats’ of political rivals= crickets and zero condemnation of their actions.

Badenoch goes on to give thanks to her predecessor, Rishi Sunak, as well as her fellow leadership candidates.
She says the task ahead is “tough but simple”. First, hold the Labour government to account and second, prepare for government with a “clear plan”.
The new Conservative leader says Prime Minister Keir Starmer is “discovering all too late the perils of not having a plan”.

It would have been unthinkable a few years ago. The Conservative Party have chosen a young black woman who was born & brought up in Nigeria as their new leader. This is not how @KemiBadenoch wants to be seen or defined – nor should it be – but it is no less significant for that.

Erm……
“Although a British citizen and born in the UK, during her parliamentary maiden speech Badenoch stated that she was “to all intents and purposes a first-generation immigrant”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemi_Badenoch
GW, you would have thought that the overpaid planktons in the bBC would have had a bit of lateral thought on this topic of female and black.
Starmer is dead meat. The indiscipline of labour over the trotters in the trough has been woeful and sits at his door. He was slow on the riots and then displayed his Eastern European appetite to smash criticism off the streets (and on his own voting troops). He has now allowed the treasurer of the student union to splash the cash on his voter base in a way which is going to cripple the British public. His days are very numbered and he will have to be replaced.
The interest group of which he is leader has decried the Tories for being racist and misogynist, yet the labour interest group have only ever been led by a white male.
It is unacceptable that the next labour leader is anything other than a non-white female. Toenails and the bBC should be analysing the importance of this change in articles and starting to prepare for the impact on the labour interest group. This is simple journalism but they cannot even get an article out because it does not sit with 40 or 50 years of third rate prejudicial narrative.
Odd…that page doesn’t exist anymore…..must have fact-checked himself.
So it’s finally happened. When Powell warned of the blacks having the whip hand over the whites who could of imagined it would be his own Conservative party that would finally put that plan into action. I feel ashamed to be English right now. How far this country fallen. Vote Reform. Vote Reform. Vote Reform. They may not be perfect but they are the only hope we have left.
Simon Webb on the double standard
.. Protesters are not allowed to SPECULATE about motives of Islamists
– Starmer is allowed to SPECULATE about motives of protesters, and label far right, thugs
#ItsOKwhenWeDoIt
..if we are asked NOTto speculate about such a case then this means that a member of some ethnic minority has been arrested
– if we are specifically urged not to speculate about the motivation of a murder or assault this usually means that it has been committed by an islamist
nor will anybody be shocked or amazed to see that the prime minister is not encouraged to follow the same informal rules as the rest of us
Following the affair in Southport the usual advice about not speculating was swiftly issued
on the very day of the attack the Mersyside Police Commissioner Emily SPL said
” I would urge people to be careful about what they share online and not to speculate about this incident”
..Note that we are not supposed to try and guess let alone say out loud why somebody had taken it into his head to kill those three little girls and attempt to murder 10 others
Some people of course did speculate and were sent to prison for doing so for guessing about.. the motivation of the young man arrested for the crime
There followed disorder and some lowkey rioting
for which people were arrested
In other words people were arrested
some for speculating about the motivation of the man arrested for the murders
.. others for violent disorder.
The there was no question now of urging people not to speculate about their motivation
The rules changed abruptlyand it was now fine to speculate as much as one pleased publicly
Not only on social media but also in an address to the Nation on Sunday August the 4th before anybody had been convicted of anything
Andrew Norfolk told the BBC on the 10th anniversary of the Jay Report that he had “absolutely no idea” it would name 1,400 girls as victims before the figure was announced at a bombshell press conference.
Mr Norfolk had been putting pressure on Rotherham Council and South Yorkshire Police to answer questions about child sexual exploitation by predominantly Asian men since he started receiving tip-offs in 2011.
His subsequent investigation for The Times had “seismic” ramifications and led to a major inquiry.

Another argument for pleading not guilty – waiting for the smoke to clear.
Shame we don’t have journalists to look into the circumstances, that led to so many being railroaded Into pleading guilty and choosing the 5 min kangaroo court.
Yep – never plead guilty – and just remember the system is a game for everyone apart from the accused …
One hopes for a judicial reckoning for Starmer one day.

Last night on GBNews was a report of a 13 year old girl in East Yorkshire who was attacked by 6 other young people. I wondered how she was this morning. I searched on line this morning, nothing… only last night’s reports. I thought I most likely would get an update from GB News. I added GB News to my google search. I did have a space between ‘GB’ and News. I got results for the BBC, the Guardian, Sky before GB News. And the report from the latter was of a stabbing in Dagenham 7 days ago.
The GB news report I saw referred to police going in and out of a local hotel, with the suggestion that the police were setting up an enquiry desk there. What most people wouldn’t know is that the hotel had become one that was housing newly arrived people. I don’t know if it still is. But the GBNews report has disappeared from Google. Just weird.
And I still don’t have an update on the young girl’s wellbeing.
Funny how in GB News world there is no news in any county south of the Midlands. Nothing happens in Gloucedter, Devon or Somerset or Hampshire or Kent or Essex… but Yorkshire or Lancashire and we know anytime anyone sneezes !
“You can always tell a Yorkshire man, but you can’t tell him much..”
AFAIK The migrants were moved out of the Humber Bridge Hotel some months ago
I passed it last year and did see them
I passed a couple of months ago and saw no sign of them
No doubt they’ve all got nice houses now. Paid for.
Deborah,
The less we hear about an attack or murder or the longer it takes for the name of any suspects to be released , the more likely it is that the ‘authorities’ are withholding information because they deem it too sensitive to be released without extensive prior preparation of the public.
This modus operandi has been in place for years and has no credibility left . Any delay in releasing information just rouses public suspicion and attempts at ‘ preparing the public’ are increasingly ridiculed. Attempts to hide behind the sub judiciary tag is becoming a damning indictment of the authorities and public trust sinks lower by the day.
Sooner or later the public will fully realise that danger that the elite has placed us all in by the decades long policy of mass immigration and cultural enrichment and then the anger and need for retribution will be uncontainable.

“An Eritrean man is on trial in Germany after allegedly impregnating his 12-year-old daughter while they lived together at a refugee shelter last year.
The disturbing discovery was made in July 2023 after the young girl was taken to hospital with abdominal pains, where she was found to be five months pregnant.
DNA samples were taken from over 50 male residents of the migrant accommodation center to try and find the culprit, but it was when the child’s father refused that suspicions were raised. “

An item on Palestinian demonstrations marking Nakba Day referred to “thousands of Palestinians leaving their homes” following the declaration of the State of Israel. Two listeners complained that this gave a misleading impression of the scale of Palestinian displacement and the extent to which it was the result of coercion. The complaint was partly upheld.

Nothing’s changed…heard the BBC use similarly misleading phrasing the other day…we were given no idea that the Pals were told to leave by the Arab armies who wanted a clear-fire zone to wipe out the Jews.
The ‘Nakba’ was self-inflicted…if they had succeeded in wiping the Jews out they would have moved back and we wouldn’t have heard a word about it…apart from the celebrations of a ‘famous victory’.

‘BBC newsroom is ‘out of control’, says former director of television in report on anti-Semitic bias’
‘The BBC newsroom is “out of control”, its former director of television has said, as the corporation faces fresh accusations of bias over its reporting of the Middle East conflict.
Danny Cohen said the BBC’s reporting had anti-Israeli overtones which were contributing to a sense of unsafety felt by many Jewish people in the UK.
In a report into the broadcaster’s recent coverage of the conflict, Mr Cohen points out that an Iranian propagandist was given airtime despite the corporation upholding complaints about a previous appearance he made.
Mohammed Marandi, who has served in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, has appeared on the BBC twice since the broadcaster admitted a “lapse in editorial standards” over another interview with him a month ago in which he accused Israel of genocide and of “ethnosupremacism”.
The BBC also devoted 40 minutes to a live broadcast of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei giving a speech, and gave a platform to a woman who has repeatedly glorified the murder of Jewish people.
Mr Cohen said the BBC had done little to address its reporting despite previous criticism.
“Very serious problems of bias continue in the BBC’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war,” he said.
“The scale and consistency of the issues suggests that the BBC newsroom is out of control. It is very hard to otherwise understand why the corporation continues to make so many errors.
“The BBC should understand that the bias in their reporting is contributing to an atmosphere in this country in which many Jewish people feel unsafe.”
At the end of September, Mr Cohen produced a report on the BBC’s reporting of the conflict that was endorsed by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Jewish Leadership Council and the Community Security Trust. The three Jewish organisations demanded an independent inquiry into what Sir Ephraim Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi, described as a failure to ensure impartial coverage of the war.
‘Lapse in editorial standards’
Now Mr Cohen has written an update to his report, in which he says the BBC has continued to portray Israel as the aggressor, to parrot Hamas lines about casualty figures without qualification and to give airtime to guests with extreme antisemitic views.
Mr Marandi, whose father is the Supreme Leader of Iran’s personal doctor, appeared on the BBC twice on Oct 1 – the day after Mr Cohen’s original report came out – when he described Israel as a “genocidal regime” which was responsible for a “Holocaust” in Gaza.
The BBC responded to complaints at the time by admitting he had not been challenged enough on his views, which amounted to “a lapse in our usual editorial standards”.
However, he was interviewed by Jeremy Bowen on Radio 4 on Oct 26, and the next day he appeared on the BBC News Channel where he made fresh accusations of genocide.
Mr Cohen said: “It is hard to believe this would be happening if the interviewee had made racist remarks about any other minority community within the UK. The only explanation can be a lack of management grip or a willingness by BBC journalists to give platforms to anti-Semites.”
The BBC said in response that Mr Marandi: “Was in Tehran during the Israeli attack on the city and is someone with an insight into the thinking of the Iranian leadership. The programme described him accurately and used a short clip of him to give listeners an understanding of the view from Iran.”
40 minutes of airtime
Mr Cohen’s report also questioned why the BBC News Channel devoted 40 minutes to a live speech by the Ayatollah Khamenei in which he praised the “logical and legal” Oct 7 terrorist attack.
The BBC has said it was “important and editorially relevant” to hear from key players including the Ayatollah, but Mr Cohen said it was difficult to imagine the BBC giving 40 minutes of airtime to a speech by Vladimir Putin to give context to the war in Ukraine.
The BBC responded by saying that reporting what someone has said “isn’t the same as endorsing their views and we’re sure our audiences appreciate this”.
The Cohen report also questions why the BBC failed to tell BBC News Channel viewers on Oct 1 this year that Andreas Kreig, who said Hezbollah had “played it fairly rationally”, previously worked for the armed forces of Qatar, a country that supports Hamas.
The corporation called Dr Kreig “an academic who was analysing the military strategies of those involved in the conflict and we would encourage people to watch the interview in its entirety”.
‘A range of accounts’
In a documentary titled Life and Death in Gaza, broadcast on Oct 15, one of the most prominent voices was Aya Ashour, who has celebrated the murder of Jews in social media posts, including in March 2022 when she responded to the murder of five Israeli civilians in a terrorist attack by saying: “Glory to the weapon. Glory to the rebels.”
A BBC spokesman said: “The conflict arouses great passions and the way contributors have chosen to post their views on social media in the past does not of itself disqualify them from giving eye-witness testimony within the editorial control of our programme makers.
“The BBC is not allowed access into Gaza, but we use a range of accounts from eyewitnesses and cross reference these against official statements and footage, including from the Israeli Defence Forces.”
‘
The BBC blitzed us with horrified comment about a comedian who slagged off Puerto Rico at a Trump rally…oddly not at all concerned about a Labour MP calling Badenoch a coconut, a house negro, an uncle tom and a blackface white supremacist….from the Telegraph….
‘A Labour MP shared a social media post accusing Kemi Badenoch of representing “white supremacy in blackface” just before the new Tory party leader was elected.
Dawn Butler appeared to endorse comments which also referred to Mrs Badenoch’s election as a “victory for racism”.
The MP for Brent East has since undone the repost and it is no longer on her profile on X (formerly Twitter).
The post Ms Butler shared came from Nels Abbey, a London-based Nigerian journalist, and was titled ‘Warning: Seven rules for surviving a Kemi Badenoch victory’.
It read: “Today the most prominent member of white supremacy’s black collaborator class (in Britain) is likely to be made leader of the Conservative Party.”
It went on: “Here are some handy tips for surviving the immediate surge of Badenochism (i.e. white supremacy in blackface).
“Don’t allow yourself to be gaslit. Of course, a victory for Badenoch is an obvious, unprecedented and once inconceivable victory for racism…
“Don’t get arrested… The police don’t do nuance, and they conveniently refuse to understand black and brown intra-communal language or forms of critique, satire or compliment e.g. coconut, Uncle Tom, Aunt Kemi, house negro, choc ice etc.”’
Remarkable that electing a black woman is a ‘victory for racism’….just shows you cannot win.
Less remarkable that the BBC doesn’t report Butler’s agreement with and promotion of these ideas which are highly offensive and racist.
