    I made my wife’s dream come true and we were married in a castle.

    But you wouldn’t have known it from the look on her face as we were bouncing around.

    I think she’s getting Alzheimers, she keeps saying she can’t remember what she ever saw in me.

    From Japan, of all places, we have to rely on a foreign news service 6000 miles away to tell the truth about the UK government and media lies including their “far right mantra”.

    The whole world knows what the bbc and others ignore about English protesters and muslim rape gangs in Britain:

    Modern Tokyo Times

    “Telford to Transparency:

    Three young girls were brutally stabbed to death in Southport, England. Other little children were also attacked and injured. However, since this incident, the government, police, and legacy media are intent on playing down the factors in this brutal murder of young little girls.

    The BBC reports, “Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, died after the attack at a Taylor Swift-themed event on Hart Street, Southport, on Monday.”

    Accordingly, anger spilled over because of the lack of information and transparency. In the past, the police to social services did little to help indigenous girls who were targeted by mainly Pakistani Muslim males from Rotherham to Telford (groomed and raped repeatedly in vast numbers).

    The Guardian reports (2022), “More than a thousand children in Telford were sexually exploited over decades amid the failure of authorities to investigate “emboldened offenders”, an independent inquiry into the scandal has concluded.”

    Spiked says (Inaya Folarin Iman), “One of the most worrying acknowledgements in the report is that it admits child sexual exploitation was not investigated in Telford because of a ‘nervousness about race’. This makes it clear, in no uncertain terms, that defending multiculturalism was prioritised over the safety of child victims of the most sickening crimes. It acknowledges that when it comes to the hierarchies of victimhood that are oh-so gleefully promoted by our cultural elites, vulnerable white working-class girls just don’t make the cut.”

    Since the brutal murder of three young girls in Southport (others injured), the same political establishment, the police, and legacy media appear determined to follow similarly. Hence, ordinary British nationals protested in Southport against the lack of information and transparency (so far).

    Violent scenes are not desired by anyone at such a tragic time. However, after so many internal events that betrayed the indigenous working class, a lack of trust exists in certain sections of the community. This can only be addressed when transparency is seen to be working.

    Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom condemned the protesters. He said they would “feel the full force of the law.”

    The same law did little until pressure increased in Oldham, Rochdale, Rotherham, Telford, and other cities and towns where mainly Muslim Pakistani men groomed (raped) indigenous working-class girls.

    Alex Goss (Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable) said, “There has been much speculation and hypothesis around the status of a 17-year-old male who is currently in police custody and some individuals are using this to bring violence and disorder to our streets.”

    The Home Secretary (Yvette Cooper) said the protesters were “thugs on the street.”

    However, the same media, police, and legacy media used milder and manipulative language concerning Oldham, Telford, Rochdale, Rotherham, and other cities and towns.

    Little is known about the killer of the three young girls (eight others were stabbed). However, it is presumed he is a foreign national based on the coverage (nobody fully knows).

    It isn’t believed to be religiously motivated – according to known information. On the contrary, the police and legacy media are stating “mental health.” However, little trust remains – and this is the problem.

    The usual “far-right mantra” is played by the political elites, the police, and legacy media.

    Yet, it is the political elites who turned a blind eye to grooming gangs (until it was too late to ignore) – to turning London into a 37% indigenous minority city and who invited radical Islam to spread throughout the United Kingdom while caring little about the consequences.

    The shocking event in Southport of three young girls being stabbed to death sums up much about modern Britain (from high crime to the lack of transparency that is pervasive). ”

        Yes, it is appalling, NonLP…

        I was even thinking this weekend how shallow the MSM is, especially the BBC, ITV etc, and of course, the daily rags, whereas there are some really punchy alternative news sites emerging every week, with the real answers to questions our tame state broadcaster is scared to publish!

        No wonder TTK wants to shut us all down!

        Luckily, there is even more bad news for the idiot Ed Miliband’s plans to bankrupt the country and it seems everywhere else, as I don’t see any of these new websites giving his crackpot plans anything more than two fingers!

        Long may the increase in some really serious comment continue, and the leftie rags and the rapidly diminishing beeboid-believers can see their public dwindle to a rump of gormless, lumpen stupidity!

    Went to a classical music concert this evening (Sunday).
    50 -55 players in the orchestra and every one of them was white!!!!!!!!!
    And so was 90+% of the audience.

    Clearly we are all racists.
    Or could it be that hardly any of the 650,000 nett immigrants annually among many others have any interest in culture as exemplified in the music of Brahms, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky?

    Better not mention it to the Welsh government.
    Or Sad Dick Khan come to that.

    Hey all you bigots, don’t forget that November is ISLAMOPHOBIA AWARENESS MONTH.

    Created in 2012 by the Muslim Council of Britain, apparently it backfired from the start as bloggers took it as an opportunity to remind everyone of Islamic terrorism and other horrors.

    Which might explain why this year the BBC seems to have gone quiet about it. Even they’re embarrassed.

      As happens so often with the Left, everything is based on a lie they forced down peoples throats.

      Peoples mistrust of Islam and dislike of the extreme misogyny, sexism and homophobia of their culture is not even remotely a ‘phobia’.

      ‘Islamophobia’ is an unpleasant, extreme sounding label conjured up by the Left to be used against the people THEY hate. It is a lie. The actual ‘label’ they should use is ‘anti-Islam’ but that’s not nasty enough for them.

          Doc,

          A phobia is an irrational fear. Fear of something that can and does cause harm is not a phobia.

          “Islamophobia” (however they spell it) is a hyperbolic neologism. Really quite juvenile, it should have been laughed out of use. But we tolerated it and It has now become a weapon of intimidation.

    Trump, Musk and new cabinet nominees celebrate at UFC
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgd1p8w4xlo

    The BBC activism is just relentless. Every single word of every single article is soaked in agenda now. I wonder how many people are involved with the weasel wording and trickery which goes on before something gets approved for the news page now.

    I saw this story elsewhere and checked how the BBC covered it. Just look at the reception from the crowd Trump got. The BBC would be wetting their panties if Biden or Harris was even a tenth as popular:

    What do the BBC do to try and hide it ?. They show a video – but they publish it with no sound !!!. What possible excuse could they have for not having it ??. It’s beyond ridiculous.

    Instead they describe what happened as : ‘Trump entered the arena to loud music and cheers.’. So is that loud music and loud cheers BBC – or loud music and just a few cheers ?.

    And when you think they can’t get any more petty and spiteful, they actually add this later in the article:
    ‘He usually receives a warm welcome from fans, though he received some boos at a UFC event in 2019’

    Unbelievable. Unfortunately there is no credit for this article for some reason so I can’t put up a picture of which BBC far-Left activist idiot churned it out.

      ‘Spring defended herself as a “brilliant reporter.” Antelava replied: “Telling me you are a brilliant reporter who exercises integrity and honesty when you have literally demonstrated the opposite was a terrible idea’.

      Amazing what the BBC is happy to brush under the carpet when it suits them. They invested a lot to promote Springster’s image as tackling online ‘disinformation’ when in fact her role is exclusively to target right-wing, white males.

      Having a proven liar as their ‘disinformation figurehead’ is highly amusing and tells us all we need to know about the BBC’s own integrity.

    A very short article considering how the BBC misandrists usually dig into a man who murdered a woman.

    It seems Biden wants to go out with a bang, as he gives the green light for Ukraine to use American missiles to strike Russia.
    Or perhaps he wants everyone else to go out with a bang as WW3 kicks off. Après moi, le déluge.
    Then again, maybe the annihilation of the planet is his way of getting back at Kamala. Hell hath no fury like a President scorned.
    Or he could just want to saddle Trump with an unwinnable war against an enraged Putin.

    Whatever the case: after Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iran/the Middle East, a weakened America and an emboldened China, the sooner the old psychopath is out, the better.

      I think one of the main reasons for this is that the Ukrainian ‘invasion’ of Russia at Kursk is on the verge of collapsing as Russia is massing troops to take it back. They want to hit them while they are assembling.

      They are some of Ukraine’s best units and once they are destroyed along with all the gains Russia are making along the front will effectively signal that the war is lost and they can’t keep covering it up.

      I also wonder how many ‘scorched earth’ policies are being put into place across the board to sabotage Trump. Maybe this is intended to make Russia so angry that they won’t negotiate.

      After they blew up the Nord stream pipeline to make sure nobody would negotiate with Putin if it was a bad winter and people were dying, I don’t put anything at all past these b@st@rds.

      I discovered the other day that the comedian Zelensky’s secret plan to end the war the BBC trumpeted a while back involved the USA and EU massing hundreds of cruise missiles and launching them in a big strike all over Russia. The man is a lunatic.

      The decision to deploy the US missiles against Russia is the biggest instance yet of the deranged mindset of the left in the USA. This would not be coming directly from Biden as he is unlikely to know the difference between a missile and a mistletoe.

      There are some seriously evil people inside the Democrat apparatus and this smacks of a desperate attempt to make the transition of power in the US as difficult and dangerous as possible.

      Maybe someone in the Dems has found a legality that halts any normal transition of power while a state of war exists and I truly believe they are sick enough to trigger a nuclear war to use that gambit.

    Lucy deleted a post earlier, due to technical issues, which is worth revisiting.

    It is about the UK becoming the laughing stock of the world.

    Have a look at the juxtaposition of these disparate headline:

    The Independent, 7 July 2024:

    “Once Britain was the laughing stock of Europe, derided as a ‘clown country’ – not any more.

    All the words that have been used to describe the UK in Europe recently are about to change. Everyone I have known for the best part of a decade – certainly since the referendum to leave the EU – would refer to the Britain of the last few years in terms that were either gently mocking or laughingly dismissive. Clown country. Boris the buffoon. Party island.

    That has all changed. The UK has been transformed overnight from the land of cheap entertainment to potentially the standard-bearer for serious mainstream politics to which many will turn and certainly envy. The pendulum has swung as far as a pendulum can swing, on both sides of the channel.”

    And, no more than a couple of months later, what has this mob actually achieved once given the keys ?

    The Telegraph 5 September :

    “Lammy is turning Britain into a global laughing stock.

    To alienate an important ally, as Foreign Secretary David Lammy has managed to do with Israel over his decision to suspend some arms export licences, might smack of rank incompetence. But to act in a way that leaves the US, this country’s most important strategic partner, also feeling aggrieved demonstrates that he is fast becoming a liability.

    Concerns were already being raised about Lammy’s erratic conduct prior to Labour winning its landslide victory, prompting speculation that Sir Keir Starmer would opt for a more credible figure, such as Douglas Alexander or Peter Mandelson, to represent UK interests on the world stage.

    Lammy’s childish musings on former US president Donald Trump, whom he memorably called a “neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath”, his historic opposition to maintaining the UK’s nuclear deterrent and his antipathy towards Benjamin Netanyuhu are hardly the acts of someone who will enhance Britain’s global standing.”

    New European, 5 August:

    “Our go-it-alone government is becoming an international laughing stock”

    In local crime reporting news: Brisbane Road, Ilford: Woman killed had domestic violence order (Ilford Recorder)

    Police have said they are searching for the husband of Harshita Brella after her body was found in the boot of a car… released a photo of Pankaj Lamba, who they believe has fled the country (BBC) – so this case is not all that ‘domestic’

    A neighbour at Harshita’s home in Corby told the Northampton Chronicle that the house the young woman lived in had been used as an HMO (house in multiple occupation), and at one point last year had 12 people living in it. The number of occupants has since reduced and the neighbour said she believed that the house had Bulgarian, Moldovan and Portuguese residents. (Daily Mail) – I say again, although our media would very much prefer us to concentrate on the ‘domestic violence’ angle this case appears to have scarcely anything domestically British about it.

    Meanwhile, overseas reporters are not quite so queasy as our own national and local press about naming one of their own – and naming and claiming him to be one of their own: Man hunt begins in UK for India-origin man Pankaj Lamba after his wife’s body is found in car boot (Times of India)

    Climate and tax deal imperilled by Trump win (FT) – keep up, Mr AsI – there’s always some new Project Fear on the horizon about Donald Trump or like it was about Brexit…

    The left-leaning junior Guardian that is the ‘i’ newspaper insists: Move as close as possible to EU in Brexit reset, business bosses urge Starmer (‘i’) – remind me… is the Labour Party supposed to work in the interests of the business bosses or for the people?

    Time for some calm down dears…

    Why I stopped boasting about my sex life Rebecca Reid (‘i’)
    Why I want a wife Lucy Mangan (‘i’)

    From lesbians to thespians

    And for balance – the chaps are in dire need of a calm down sir over at the formerly serious Times newspaper: ‘I was the thinking woman’s crumpet’ Charles Dance

    Moving further down market – but sticking with the female interest: I’m a Celeb’s back! ..And Danny’s got a snake in his McFly (The Sun)

        There was once a legal requirement for retailers to notify TV Licensing (i.e. Capita) when a set was sold, but it was abandoned some years ago. However, some retailers continued to do so on a voluntary basis – I seem some supermarkets falling in the latter category but may be mistaken. Given that television channels can now be watched on a wide variety of devices including laptops, Amazon Fire sticks and other streaming devices, many sold online on eBay etc, it would be difficult to enforce. However, the BBC misused the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (terrorism legislation) to spy on the internet activity of users in Northern Ireland, to determine if they were watching the crap they produce. That’s been going on for 20 years so they might well be up to all sorts of mischief these days.

    Carnage here in West Londonistan on Sunday.
    The 4 lane M25 near Heathrow was closed in both directions for the thick end of 7 hours after an accident.
    Does the anti-car government or even Sad Dick Khan have the remotest clue how many tens of thousands of lives are affected by this? Not just on the M25 but the gridlock on surrounding towns and villages. Not to mention the flights missed. Clearly not, as the police saunter round at leisure with their clipboards and tape measures. Perhaps Khan relishes the thought of diverted vehicles straying accidentally into the ULEZ zone generating extra income from the fines.

    Is there a contingency plan? On such a strategic asset you’d think there was a plan in someone’s bottom drawer to re-open as fast as possible. Convert one carriageway into a low speed two lane dual carriageway with traffic cones ( they have plenty of those)? Leave repairs until the middle of the night?
    Clearly they do not have one. Too busy staring at traffic cameras from the comfort of their warm, cosy, control rooms.

    Economic growth? Don’t make me laugh.

      Whilst I share your frustration, there were three reasons:

      1) Fuel spilt all over the place which had to be removed, it is very slippy.

      2) Space for the air ambulance to land and access for other emergency services

      3) possibility of fatality due to serious injuries requiring immediate on site investigation

      One thing I do not understand with all the spy cameras they put in new cars and their obsession with speed is why they never crack down on tailgating on motorways.

      All new cars sold in the Eeeehuww have cameras that recognise speed limits and then nanny will winge-and-wail at you from the dashboard if you speed. Why can’t they do the same if you drive too close?

      I think I have to be very greatful. Travelling from north London to south, my sat nav took us into Heathrow and I incurred a £5 setting down fee without dropping anyone off, gave up on the satnav, went back onto the M4/M25 and the M25 was wonderfully empty as we travelled south. We got to our memorial service with a little time to spare.

      As I understand it in Europe the aim is to reopen roads as quickly as possible. However much the police investigate, it doesn’t change the injuries of those in the hospital or a colder place.

    The BBC’s rhetoric over Biden potentially unleashing WW3 seems to be one of support for the whole thing.

    Not one mention of how this might just be a decision taken out if spite (“Ha! Deal with that, Trump!”)

    Leftists are very spiteful people. Just look at the women saying they’re not going to have sex (because men are evil for voting for Trump or something). Or people now refusing to speak to members of their family for not voting who they want them to vote for. We’re talking spiteful mutants (mostly women it seems) telling their kids’ grandparents that they’ll never see their grandchildren again.

    In some cases, they’ve murdered family members and/or killed themselves.

    Well now, these absolute psychos are putting everyone at risk of nuclear attack.

    Why now, Biden?

    Yeah. We know.

    I’d put them all (hysterical, entitled leftists) in padded cells.

    And lawyers, who, erm, for example errr, then become powerful politicians (just an example )who allow future child murderers to stay in the UK should be…oh look a squirrel.

    But if leftists hate themselves so much and want to die, they should just top themselves rather than causing a nuclear holocaust, the absolute maniacs.

    Labour has decided to blame journalists for the insane number of people sent on behalf of the UK to Baku for COP29. The Mail on Sunday tracked down that the UK delegation to COP29 in Baku comprised an eye-watering 470 people. The US sent 405, India 111, France 115, and Germany 325…

    Bridget Phillipson this morning blamed journalists for the high figure:

    “As I understand it that included a number of individuals including those who were attending to report on the on the conference, on the events that were taking place.”

    The vast majority – 354 – of the delegation was government officials and ministers.

    Think again BBC. Too hard for your small brains or unwillingness to accept reality? They come from Africa and through Libya to try to get to Italy or Spain and then on to France. Another organisation unwilling to face reality is the Labour Party in the UK. They think illegal immigrants come from Afghanistan and Viet Nam. Maybe a few do, but most come from Africa countries. Look at the photographic evidence, Labour Party!

    However, this particular muslim lady is perplexed. Just weeks after MI5 revealed that islamic terrorism is a very real and present danger, Islamophobia Awareness Month tells us there’s nothing to fear – indeed it’s a hate crime if you do.

      A sort of moral blackmail for a start: “Farage said that on Wednesday his Reform UK colleague Richard Tice was selected to ask a question of Starmer at Prime Minister’s Questions in the Commons. He wrote: “That morning, he received three panicked emails from the Commons authorities asking what the content of his question might be.

      “Then, an hour before PMQs began, he received a telephone call in which he was told not to ask anything about the man accused of the Southport attacks. This point was reinforced strenuously by the Speaker in the Commons just before PMQs began. Parliamentary Privilege was effectively withdrawn.

      Boston and Skegness MP Tice asked the Prime Minister whether he agreed that “it is important in incidents of terrorism that the authorities put out more information sooner in order to prevent an information gap.”

      Starmer replied that MPs “can either support the police in their difficult task or they can undermine the police in their difficult task. I know which side I am on.” Farage says that Starmer’s Government “has been very effective in using fear to shut down public debate that it considers inconvenient” adding that he cannot permanently dodge the questions that have arisen about the handling of the Southport attack.”

    “There is a joke doing the rounds in Washington right now. Starmer visits a poor town struggling with immigration in Leeds. He asks the locals “how can I help you?” They tell him they have two urgent problems. 1. They need more lighting. “Righto hang on a mo” he turns his back makes a call and two minutes later says “it will be fixed tomorrow, what’s the second issue?”
