Now that the initial shock of the victory of President Trump is subsiding – we can expect the Far Left Anti British BBC to go into full hostility to him – we’ve been here before .

    The simple fact is Trump was stitched up and hobbled last time by the Swamp, the Deep State, the Blob, the Establishment, whatever you call it. And he’s making damn sure it doesn’t happen again by bringing in his own people – outsiders who haven’t been corrupted by the system. In some cases mavericks and visionaries like Musk. Trump himself is a visionary who just might change the world.

      I agree that he will have his supporters in all key posts and that the Globalists won’t be able to run in him into the sand as they did last time. But I’m sure that the Globalists won’t give up so easily , they have too much to lose, their whole world wide project is imperilled by MAGA.
      The Achilles heel of the US is it enormous debt. Can the Globalists engineer a run on the dollar which will cause a recession in the country ( and elsewhere of course) which will be blamed on MAGA.

    My favourite story of the day is those mad COP bashes being taken over by oil companies to do deals – let’s hope the Baku bash will be the last one and that Trump pulls the US out of mad ‘climate ‘ deals .

    Radio Humberside this morning LOCAL news bulletin had a strange bit about RFK Jr being nominated for US Health Secretary
    #1 it’s nothing to do with our area
    But you can tell it really bothers the BBC staff, so they wanted to say something negative.

    They failed to mention the actual Trump statement

    @realDonaldTrump
    I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
    For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health.
    The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country.
    Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic,
    and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!

    UN climate talks ‘no longer fit for purpose’ say key experts

    ‘That came days after the BBC reported that a senior Azerbaijani official appeared to have used his role at COP to arrange a meeting to discuss potential fossil fuel deals.’

    The UN is no longer fit for purpose. It has become another nest of leftist parasites sucking at the teat of public money. It is now a complete farce.

    Like the BBC it should be burnt to the ground and something better built from the ashes.

    For some reason – one can’t presume to read the minds of the gynaeceum that is BBC news staff – the Daily Express frontpage is conspicuous by its absence from the BBC’s daily online round-up of the print press this morning. The FT taking top spot.

    By the by, the Express goes with the Labour-brnaded administration unfriendly: ‘Ridiculous’ £3k Budget hike for small shops – as their banner headline.

    Happy and glorious! Birthday delight for King – as their frontpage heart-on-sleeve last resort of the rogue pseudo-patriotic photo feature and: Biggest migration rise of any rich country – as a teaser.

    Also prominent on the cover of the daily that formerly would have had us: United with the people of Ukraine – in a suicidal european lives and economy destroying proxy war on behalf of the US military industrial complex – is the familiar face of former That’s Life TV presenter Esther Rantzen: ‘Mum wants people to have their dying wish’

    I’m oddly reminded of that WW2 propaganda slogan: Keep Mum – She’s Not so Dumb!

    There’s one for the teenagers.

    The reference there of course was to the popular contemporary notion of the apparently dumb blonde femme fatale seductress-type (you know, like Private Pike used to watch in the movies) (it was a different time) – and she might alert the U-boats to the location of the loose-tongued sailor’s convoy.

    I’m oddly reminded of Adam and Ants early track Deutscher Girls 1982

    Remember the curls
    Of the Deutscher girls
    Camp 49
    From down on the Rhine

    The stakes get higher
    As you dress sparsely
    So why did you have
    To be a Nazi?

    Not great art, admittedly. Mind you, the lyrics got censored to: So why did you have to be so nasty?

    Now Mr AsI wasn’t expecting this from new new Labour: Assisted dying law would hit other NHS care – Streeting… has ordered officials to look at the costs (BBC)

    If anything is ripe for being put out of its lingering painful and pointless misery it is of course our NHS – but I digress.

    Usually, the Labour line on any implementation of the globalist agenda is “Legalise it, we’ll subsidise it”

    So what’s going on here? Well, I’ll tell you. TTK Sir Keir is deeply unpopular and wears a personal (known to the Westminster press lobby) secret scandal (Lord Alli and Victoria Starmer’s Secrets-wise) like a suicide vest that might implode at any moment.

    Keep mum… and all that.

    So, one has surmise that our boy Wes is on manoeuvres, so to speak; putting up his little periscope like a predatory enemy sub cruising in Labour leadership waters, stalking tax and spend Reeves in particular.

    Things are now looking pretty desperate, economy-wise – even economics novices like our PM and Chancellor must sense it: UK economy barely grows in blow for government (BBC)

    Seems they’ve cracked the economy

    Reeves demands City watchdogs allow greater risk in push to promote growth (FT)

    And, all Starmer and Reeves had to do, politically – before their shoo-in electoral elevation to power was to not drop the Ming vase.

    One does so enjoy those little ironic juxtapositions – those serendipitous occurrences one oftentimes stumbles across…

    Prime frontpage ad space on the cover of the FT this morning is purchased by: Eskenazi, Clifford Street (dealer in Chinese art and artifacts) and the featured items of antique chinoiserie just happen to be: Blue and white porcelain from Yuan and early Ming dynasties

    If I was well-disposed towards the BBC, I’d advise: wake up and smell the coffee. Acknowledge that a revolution is taking place in the US and spreading here. Understand that the ‘legacy media’ are dying, and being replaced by Online news and views. Change, adapt, or die.

    But I’m not well-disposed towards the BBC, so I say: continue as you are, and get obliterated like CNN, MSNBC, and all the other woke, leftist propaganda outlets.

      She will tell an audience of City leaders and chief executives on Thursday that she will introduce a pensions bill next year aimed at pooling assets from the 86 separate local government pension schemes (LGPS) in England and Wales into eight funds, worth about £50bn, by 2030.

      Grouped together, the LGPS represents one of the world’s largest defined-benefit schemes, with 6.5 million members and £360bn in assets.”

      Unfortunately, Sukur is one of several imams to be convicted of child abuse offences in the UK, in recent months:

      Muhammad Asgar, a Quran teacher at Croydon Mosque & Islamic Centre, was convicted of attempted rape and four counts of sexual assault against two boys and sentenced to ten years imprisonment last month.
      Bradford mosque imam, Mohammed Ilyas Alibhai, was found guilty of three counts of sexual activity with a child and sentenced in February 2023 to one year in prison, given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for five years and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years.
      Yusuf Sacha, a trusted “community figurehead” from Batley, was convicted of 12 offences including rape, indecent assault and indecency with a child and sentenced in February 2023 to 15 years in prison. Detective Chief Inspector Ian Thornes pointed out that “in committing these awful offences he abused his status as a community figurehead and the trust that brought him in the most appalling way”.

    Various news sites today have reported this, it’s just getting totally absurd.

    “Child, 9, among kids investigated by cops for hate incidents after calling classmate a ‘r****d’”

    A nine-year-old child is among the youngsters being probed by police over hate incidents, it is understood. 
    Officers recorded incidents against the child, who called a fellow primary school pupil a ‘retard’, and against two schoolgirls who said another student smelled ‘like fish’. 

    Who is reporting these so called ‘hate incidents’ and why are police even getting involved? Kids have always called each other names – Fatty, Big gob, Smelly, Fat Arse, Stupid, Thicko, Dimwit. Nutter, Spotty … Not nice, but It’s just something kids do.

    I thought the BBC had finally caught up with the news and noted the furore around Allison Pearson and NCHIs as Nicky Campbell had a phone-in…ostensibly about policing in general, but most seemed to be about NCHIs…though oddly Allison Pearson only got a mention in passing….but the story seems to be completely absent from the website at least.

    We were graced with the presence of Policing Minister Dame Diana Johnson who didn’t add much to the discussion….however apparently she did say one thing that was newsworthy…whilst the BBC won’t report the Allison Pearson story despite the NCHIs being the main subject of discussion on Campbell’s phone-in it leapt on her [minimal] comments about zombie knives….which is a big BBC generated story. Sooo…the BBC News is really only interested in whipping up a story where it has an interest and not at all in stories about right-leaning journalists being hounded by a police state.

    Campbell also asked her about the Kaba case…one comment he made was that ‘No-one deserves to be shot’…hmmm well maybe someone trying to kill a police officer by ramming him with a car, a car that was involved in a ‘firearms incident’ the previous day and which the police may have believed still held a weapon inside, might ‘deserve’ to be shot.

      Tomo…he never hid it that well….and the anti-meat narrative is standard fare now on the BBC.

      Meat will be made so expensive that no-one can afford it and so many regulations introduced in regard to its farming that it will become impossible to produce meat economically and without a huge amount of hassle….petrol/diesel cars are a case in point as the government tries to make it impossible to make them.

      It is remarkable that the supposedly liberal BBC sees nothing wrong with this Stalinist approach where we eat what we are told to eat ‘for our own good and the health of the planet’.

      It’s a very dangerous slippery slope…but then this is the BBC which sees nothing wrong with ‘setting aside democracy’ in order to ‘save the planet’…if only we were more like China say so many of the loons at the BBC.

        It amazes me that none of the investigative journalists at the BBC have linked Bill Gates, the biggest American farm owner, reducing meat production there, with a visit just before the budget and the sudden appearance of a policy that will inevitably mean that small farms will have to eventually sell – to large companies. I have a feeling that there will be a few non-executive directors of some companies in the future who used to be politicians.

        well, yes, to anybody with a little more than passing familiarity with the topics Wod-Jah addressed and knowing his hand in the 28 Gate affair some years back – you see him as a mendacious PoS …

        The crafting of his pieces to camera / microphone were tailored to people watching the news on telly / radio looking for summaries of what’s going on in the world – the mendacity was top drawer, the insinuation and faux comparisons epic – and his influence over other correspondents evidenced by edits which wheeled out his recognizable, particular turns of phrase.

        So many of the BBC’s real shit stirrers lurk behind the curtains….

    Just think.
    Every boat stopped from arriving here means about 70 more houses available for the indigenous population.

    or

    Each boat stopped saves us about £300,000 every year.

    Trump is, we are led to believe, a Putin stooge and apologist because he thinks that it is time for Ukraine to negotiate a peace deal. The BBC assures us this means Trump is Putin’s puppet….never mind that Sir Alex Younger [ex head of MI6] said the same recently as did Lord Dannatt….but the BBC ignores their comments….Younger actually said it on the BBC but they seem to have forgotten that.

    Indeed the Democrats under Biden wanted such negotiations…but when do you hear the BBC admit that?

    ‘The Biden administration is privately encouraging Ukraine’s leaders to signal an openness to negotiate with Russia and drop their public refusal to engage in peace talks unless President Vladimir Putin is removed from power, according to people familiar with the discussions.’

    And today…google ‘Scholz Putin’….lots and lots of stories….just none on the BBC so far….a day old story….

    ‘Ukraine accused Olaf Scholz of opening a “Pandora’s box” after he held a phone call with Vladimir Putin in an effort to bring about an end to the war.

    The German chancellor spoke with Putin for the first time in two years amid signs that European leaders are softening on negotiations with the Kremlin.’

    Maybe the BBC is doing the usual….waiting for the ‘inconvenient’ news to get too big to ignore and give themselves time to fabricate their own spin so that Trump can still be made to look like he is the bad guy ‘abandoning’ Ukraine….and let’s not forget Germany has slashed funding for Ukraine…to little comment or approbation from the BBC.

      Pug
      Let’s get this straight.
      The Far Left BBC is trying to convince me that the (allegedly} Far Right President Trump is a stooge of the Russian Communist President Vladimir Putin.
      Well I know that Hitler made a short lived pact with Stalin but both of these men were Socialists which proves that Socialists cannot be trusted to keep their word so I am willing to give Donald Trump a fair crack of the whip.
      If he fails then I think The West is finished.

    lying sh@ts the lot of them, including at the bbc :

    “Rachel Reeves caught ‘lying’ on her CV as GDP growth takes big hit
    The Tories have laid into the Chancellor as online observers say row should be a resignation matter.”

    n October the Guido Fawkes website revealed that while she claimed she worked as an “economist” at the Bank of Scotland between 2006 and 2009, she in fact had a more mundane job working in a support unit managing administration, IT and planning matters.

    Today, just hours after she was dealt a blow by terrible economic growth figures Ms Reeves was caught quietly editing her LinkedIn CV to reflect her true role.

    On her social media account, the Halifax-based job has now been subtly edited from “economist” to “retail banking”.

      ‘Robert Jenrick quipped: “Reeves said she was an economist. Turns out she’s just economical with the truth.”’

      Oh heck…we may be shagged…

      ‘Rachel Reeves fightback to woo the City: I’ll ease banking regulations’

      Brown just before the Crash….

      ‘What about the Labour government who were in power in the period leading up to the crisis?

      “There they were sitting there deregulating. Gordon Brown went to the City of London in June 2007 and said we are entering a golden age of banking in the City of London. ‘

      ‘Addressing the bow-tied ranks of money-changers, he paid lavish homage to ‘your unique innovative skills, your courage and steadfastness’. They had his personal thanks ‘for the outstanding, the invaluable contribution you make to the prosperity of Britain’.

      ‘A new world order has been created,’ he proclaimed. Britain was ‘a new world leader’ thanks to ‘your efforts, ingenuity and creativity’. He congratulated himself for ‘resisting pressure’ to toughen up regulation of their activities. Everyone needed to follow the City’s ‘great example’, emulate this ‘high value-added, talent-driven industry’. ‘Britain needs more of the vigour, ingenuity and aspiration that you already demonstrate.’

      Thanks to their ‘remarkable achievements’, we had the huge privilege to live in ‘an era that history will record as the beginning of a new Golden Age’.’

    Conservative commentator Chris Rose blasted: “Instead of admitting that she lief, she has tried to alter the lie. This amateur needs to resign.”

    GB News commentator Lee Harris agreed, tweeting: “This is the person in charge of our economy, and she hasn’t got a sodding clue what she is doing.

    “If this was you or me, we would have been dismissed, but this is the Labour Party. They’re all frauds and liars!”
