    “Congratulations to
    @realDonaldTrump
    on your victory.

    The UK has no greater friend than the US, with the special relationship being cherished on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 80 years.

    We look forward to working with you and
    @JDVance
    in the years ahead.”

      Always enjoy the lie of the ‘special relationship ‘ – perhaps the statue of Winston Churchill will be placed back in the Oval Office – although Britain hating Obama/ Biden would probably have melted it down ….
      There is no ‘special relationship ‘ there are just national interests which coincide – as evidenced by the US sitting on its ‘ hands from 1939 – 1941 …. And exploiting the UK economy through lend – lease …

      I find it endlessly amusing that the BBC are blaming Biden for the defeat because he didn’t quit soon enough.

      It’s gross hypocrisy on so many levels. If the BBC/MSM had called out his mental decay when we all knew it, he would have been long gone. And the BBC know as well as the rest of us that he didn’t quit at all. He was forced to quit by Obama and Pelosi in a very unpleasant situation where they threatened to impeach him as an idiot if he didn’t.

      Meanwhile the nasty old goat has been completely removed from the news by the BBC for one obvious reason : so he didn’t distract and upset Kamala’s campaign. Very, very clear bias to help her.

      And the other thing they are blaming is that she is a black woman. meaning what ? – she would have won if she wasn’t ?. What about the fact she had utterly failed in her previous attempts to get the ticket and is now known as the cackling idiot ?.

      The height of how disconnected the BBC have become was in an article by the poisonous, stage-3 TDS Madeline Halpert (the one on anti-depressants at 17) who actual presented a comment from someone who said Kamala should have won because she is a woman and it’s time for a woman President. Something Madeline obviously agrees with. She seems oblivious to just how utterly sexist and ridiculous that is as a reason to say someone should be President.

      But look on the bright side : the BBC have – and are still making – complete arses of themselves and showing everyone their real bias. Why are they writing so many articles about the loser FFS ?. She is finished. In the political dustbin.

    The far left globalists telling us what we can eat and now what we can or cannot drink: sweet satisfaction here:

    “Furious Amish in Pennsylvania get ‘revenge’ at the polls.

    America’s famously private Amish people are unreachable by phone or email and refuse to have TVs in their homes.

    But that didn’t stop members of the conservative Christian group turning out on polling day in a trend that appears to have helped Donald Trump win Pennsylvania.

    In Lancaster County, the heart of the state’s Amish community, one member reportedly rode his horse and cart through the roads carrying a billboard proclaiming: ‘Pray for God’s Mercy for Our Nation.’

    What sparked the voting rush? Government agents had stormed a local farm early in the year in a row over unpasteurised milk that left the Amish community absolutely enraged.

    Donald Trump Jr tweeted at the time: ‘Imagine what law enforcement could accomplish if they went after members of elite paedophile rings rather than farmers selling to their neighbours??’

    Pennsylvania’s traditionally private Amish community, which some estimate numbers around 100,000, then registered to vote in ‘unprecedented numbers’. Experts have said that the movement could won Mr Trump tens of thousands of new votes in the crucial swing state. ”

    Biden in 2022….

    “What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden told Democratic donors in the Washington suburb of Rockville. Calling out those he labeled as “extreme” Republicans, Biden said: “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”

    That attitude is at the heart of why the Democrats lost…not just deplorable garbage but Fascist deplorable garbage…but the BBC trundles on gaslighting us…Kamalla was too loyal to distance herself from Biden, she was too moderate but then went too hard on Trump, Harris didn’t explain her policies.

    One notable comment…

    ‘…the sit-down was quickly overshadowed by her response to a question on what she would have done differently from incumbent president, Joe Biden: “Not a thing comes to mind.”‘

    Oddly I don’t remember the BBC ever making a song and dance about this faux pas…the whole campaign was a very positive portrayal of Harris by the BBC…very upbeat and certain that she would win….abortion would win over the women and jokes about Puerto Rico and Latinos by a comedian would hand their votes to the Dems…and the BBC tacking on to every report that Trump incited Jan 6 and was a ‘convicted felon’…it was all over…except it wasn’t.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjr4l5j2v9do

    The US media backed the Democrats…you can see the highly aggressive and partisan tone that NBC took as it doubles down on Biden’s name-calling….

      Pug
      I’ve seen the rare interview where Harris was asked the ‘what different ‘ question – a number of times .

      It evidenced a number of things –

      1 she was no good without a script
      2 she was badly prepared and should have known certain questions
      3 she failed to distance from the old boy with dementia .Even though There was no affection for him ….

      Here s some other lessons for the democrats

      Lawfare doesn’t work
      Too much lawfare makes things worse
      If trump really had committed a real crime – they should have found that
      The values inside the blob are not the same as real life – however much the msm preach
      People see political trials for what they are and will ‘discount ‘ words like ‘criminal ‘and ‘felon’..
      People care about real things – gas prices – not ‘garbage ‘
      Woke is not a guarantee of virtue
      People really are not as thick as democrats think
      Money ($1 billion ? V $300 million won’t buy an election with a poor candidate
      A pig is sill a pig even when you put lipstick on it …

      There – I’ve done the democrat debrief –

      BTW – do you remember the msm script that all those court cases would destroy president trump ? BBC – shame

      And I think one of the many reasons people like us / me are celebrating is that if Obama had got his 4th term he’d have finished off the corruption of the voting process completely …. The US and other countries would be forever socialist states … frightening …

    Why do leftist hags not realise that quite a few people don’t share their views?

    I used to keep quiet if someone I barely knew said (like they did in 2016) “Can’t believe people voted for Brexit’ or “America is finished voting for that idiot for president.”

    I’d just smile and walk off or change the subject.

    Today though, a woman, white one from South Africa too – you’d think she’d know better, I barely know the woman. Has said about 3 sentences to me in her life.said, “I see America is in trouble.”

    I calmly replied, “Depends on how you see it.”

    The look on her stupid face was a mix of disgust and confusion.

    They literally think everyone thinks the same as them. Due to the social media bubbles, lefty censorship, the media etc.

      Possibly because their view of the world is not shaped or constrained by reality. Ultimately people fall into two categories: realists, who look at the world around them and the human condition and see the challenge of how to make the best of it and improve things where possible; utopians, who have a vision of how things should be or could be, unrestrained by reality or experience, and with only their imagination and ego to guide them in a state of perpetual delusion. Leftists, liberals, communists and other authoritarians are invariably utopians.

        Lysenkoism dominated Chinese science from 1949 until 1956, during which open discussion of alternative theories like classical Mendelian genetics were forbidden. Only in 1956 during a genetics symposium opponents of Lysenkoism were permitted to freely criticize it and argue for Mendelian genetics.[48] In the proceedings from the symposium, Tan Jiazhen is quoted as saying “Since [the] USSR started to criticize Lysenko, we have dared to criticize him too”.[48] For a while, both schools were permitted to coexist, although the influence of the Lysenkoists remained large for several years, contributing to the Great Famine through loss of yields.[48]

      Sweden has rejected plans to build 13 offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, citing security concerns.

      The farms were intended to be located off the Åland Islands in the north along the entire east coast down to Öresund. The government believes that building the projects in question in the Baltic Sea area would have unacceptable consequences for Sweden’s defence.

      Swedish Defence Minister Pål Jonson said at a press conference that the wind farms would make it harder to detect and shoot down missiles using Sweden’s Patriot batteries in case of a conflict.

    And no doubt, when Trump proves to be a huge success, His Lordship will declare that he knew it all along. He can spot a winner when he sees one.

    Recollections may vary, but not mine. I shall always remember that deep down you’re a beeboid hack, even if one day you jump on the Trump bandwagon when it becomes fashionable, like so many others in the commentariat.

    Commentators like Emily Mateless, James nO’Brain and practically everyone at the BBC are getting hysterical.
    In a sense they’re not wrong. Not because it’s the end of democracy, the beginning of tyranny or any of that cr*p.
    No, they’re angry and scared because in their bones they sense that their reign is coming to an end.

    For decades now, woke liberal lefties have occupied the public space, while defining and controlling the Overton Window of acceptable thought.
    They have been the self-styled ‘progressives’, the ‘liberals’, the good guys, the nice guys, the arbiters of morality and the opinion formers. In a Godless age, they have been the virtuous, the righteous, the Saved, maybe even the Saviours.

    But their hegemony over the intellectual space is now under mortal threat by – of all people – an uncouth yob who grabs pussy and guzzles Big Macs in the Oval Office. THE HORROR!
    And deep down they know their days are numbered. And deep down they’re sh*t scared, and that fear fuels their rage.

    They stand to lose everything they’ve built their careers on. More frighteningly, everything they’ve built their sense of self, and self-worth.
    They might have to admit to themselves that they’ve been wrong – wrong about everything.
    And they know that the Orange effect will ripple out across the pond and embolden our own Orange men and women to be more assertive.
    The dictatorship of the woke elite is starting to crumble; they sense it and they hate it.

      I’m torn between hoping that, for the good of the nation, Trump forgives and forgets all the insults he received from the British political class, or whether I want him to remember and make them pay dearly.

      Hopefully Farage will help smooth things over.

        At the very least, Lammy MUST go, he is a proven loose cannon. With those libellous comments about a duly elected US sitting President, this behaviour is not becoming of an MP, let alone a cabinet minister, and appointing a proven undiplomatic and abusive idiot like this to Foreign Secretary is just taking the piss.

        Any white working class person saying the things Lammy said on social media about an elected official would quite possibly be at risk of arrest for hate speech by this mob, if they decided to make an “example”.

        Allowing this person to represent the UK at the highest level around the world is a kick in the face for every citizen in this country. It clearly shows the arrogant contempt this mob have for all of us.

    TOADY Watch #2 – Faisal Islam has had to turn up for work, again, today!

    Bank of England decision day on Bank Rate/Interest Rates. Wide expectation of a cut from 5% to 4.75%. But, but …… inflation is on the rise after Labour’s disastrous Budget. I expect inflation to be 3% soon after both M&S and Sainsbury’s have said they will need to increase prices after the Employers’ National Insurance Increase. Then with farmers threatening a food production strike there could be a further increase in prices and also inflation if there is a sudden shortage of UK food on the shelves.

    The BBC website is carrying an article trying to explain why the pollsters failed to predict the outcome of the US election. It offers various explanations, some semi-plausible, others less so. But it avoids the elephant in the room: the polls intentionally get it wrong i.e. they lie. They consistently and systematically over-exaggerate left wing support and de-emphasise right wing support. The purpose here is to demoralise the right, to try and persuade them they are backing a lost cause. So, the average American who was planning to vote for Trump gets a constant barrage of the news reporting that ‘Harris is ahead’ and thinks ‘Well, nothing I can do so I won’t even bother voting’. Same thing here with Brexit.

    But as they are finding out, it’s backfiring on them…

      Ian I think it’s also a symptom / result of the constant smearing of Trump be the MSM / blob – which results in pollsters getting told what they want to hear …by a sizeable number in the sample ….

    Hidden away in bbc “local news”:

    “Man freed after appealing summer riots sentence.

    An 18-year-old man jailed for smashing a restaurant window during the summer riots is to be freed after successfully appealing his sentence.

    Dylan Willis, 18, who admitted violent disorder after repeatedly smashing a Middlesbrough restaurant window with a brick, had his 14 month sentence suspended for two years by Court of Appeal judges.

    The panel of three senior judges said Willis’ complex developmental and mental health background should have been taken into account.

    Appeals on behalf of three other men – part of the first attempts to challenge riot sentences – failed to have their sentences cut.

    Willis, from Hartlepool, will now be freed immediately from his young offenders’ institute.

    The panel of three senior judges said Willis’ health meant he should have received a suspended sentence, with up to 40 days of rehabilitation activity.

    The teenager, watching via a video link from HMP Holme House, appeared emotional as it was confirmed he would be freed.

    The judges said that they had reached the “difficult decision” of changing his term to a suspended sentence because of his specific background.

    Mr Justice Bennathan said that there had been clear evidence that Willis had ADHD and a low IQ.

    These factors, as well as his autism spectrum disorder, had all affected his decision making, he said. ”

    And another truly loathsome individual:

    “Outrage as Sadiq Khan refuses to apologise to Chris Kaba firearms officer. The London Mayor was pressed on whether he will say sorry during a fiery City Hall showdown today.

    Sadiq Khan has sparked outrage after he refused to apologise to the firearms officer involved in the Chris Kaba shooting, after he gave his sympathies to the dead gangster at the time.

    The London Mayor was pressed for an apology during a City Hall scrutiny session today, where his former mayoral rival Susan Hall demanded he say sorry.

    Mr Khan has since been accused of being “too sympathetic” towards Chris Kaba, calling him a “young life cut short”, and provoking further anger towards the police from minority groups in London.

    During the debate this afternoon, Tory assembly member Susan Hall told Mr Khan that he should have been more supportive of the police at the time, instead of pouring fuel on the fire of what was a crisis of confidence in the force.

    She questioned his initial response, including statements from London bodies that linked Chris Kaba’s shooting to “the fight against systematic racism”.
