      Labour’s shadow foreign secretary David Lammy has rejected calls to label former US President Donald Trump “racist”, insisting Labour would work with whoever occupies the White House.

      Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has urged Labour leaders to end a Republican charm offensive and call Mr Trump out as a “sexist” and “a homophobe.”

      David Lammy has previously called Mr Trump a “neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath”.

    Tata Motors is an Indian automotive manufacturer with headquarters in Mumbai and owned by the conglomerate Tata Group that’s involved in industries as diverse as steel, hospitality, and telecommunications. Below is a look at how Jaguar fits into the mix:

    Tata Motors purchased Jaguar Cars and Land Rover in 2008 and joined the Jaguar Land Rover Limited in 2013.
    Tata Motors also owns other automotive operations worldwide in both the commercial and passenger vehicle segment.
    Tata Motors belongs to Tata Group, which originally started in 1868 as a trading company. Previously, the Tata Group was known for milestones like India’s first hotel with electricity in 1907, Western India’s first hydro power plant, and the establishment of the Indian Institute of Science in 1911.

    The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) deleted a 2018 Children in Need promotional video from its website when it was revealed that the video featured the teenager accused of murdering three girls in Southport. The accused teenager who appeared in BBC’s promo video has been identified as Axel Rudakubana.

    In a now-deleted charity promotional video from 2018, Axel Rudakubana is shown leaving the Tardis dressed as Doctor Who, sporting a trench coat and tie that resembled Doctor Who’s star, David Tennant.

    Axel Rudakubana, then 11, reminds viewers in the video, “It’s that time of year again”, before offering tips on how to best raise money.

    UK police conducted a search at Rudakubana’s residence and uncovered a PDF titled ‘Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda Training Manual,’ which prompted the terror-related charge. Authorities also allege that Rudakubana produced the deadly toxin ricin, resulting in an additional charge for creating a biological weapon.

    The Prime Minister, Kier Starmer, is involved in an international incident, trying to get British Intelligence agencies to targeted Elon Musk for allowing free speech to individuals aware of the suspect’s links to Islam, despite its truth. Starmer imprisoned many of these individuals knowing the truth. These British people are still in prison as is the journalist Tommy Robinson who reported on another Labour Party ‘cover up’ involving Islam, in the north of England.

    The far left in all it’s bitter, nasty glory:

    After Clinton lost:

    “At the time, it was said that filing cabinets were glued shut, obscene messages left on answering machines and pornographic pictures placed on office printers.

    The presidential entourage was accused of smashing up crockery on Airforce One. Bill and Hillary Clinton themselves were in the frame for pilfering bedroom furniture.

    But nothing caught the public imagination like the claim that official keyboards were systematically disfigured to remove the letter ‘W’ – the middle initial of the incoming president and the name by which he was often known.

    ‘There are dozens, if not hundreds of keyboards with these missing keys,’ a White House source said at the time. ‘In some cases, the “W” keys have been taped on top of the doorways, which are 12 feet tall. In other cases, they were glued on with Superglue, right way up or upside down.’

    Today, recalling the furor, Clinton writes: ‘The first to hit were stories that, as we moved out of the White House, I had taken two large bedside tables from the master bedroom;

    ‘That the “W” key had been removed from typewriters and computers in the West Wing;

    ‘And that, on my flight to New York on the former Air Force One after President George W Bush’s inauguration, our passengers destroyed government plates and other utensils.’

    A year-long investigation by the General Accounting Committee later found Clinton’s staff had caused about $15000-worth of ‘damage, theft, vandalism and pranks’ although there were no prosecutions”

      The problem is that our ‘government’ wants to keep giving money to foreigners, particularly if they’re dark skinned it seems.

      Lammy wants reparations too. Yes, including for himself I think. Poor fella with his 100k+ salary, Harvard education ,gold plated 60k p.a. pension pot, millions from being a diversity ‘consultant’ and 3m and counting in expenses, despite being a London based MP.

      Don’t worry Dave. It’ll be worth living off scraps we honkies can find in the bins to know people like you ‘get justice’.

      I had ancestors in workhouses for the poor. Where is my compo?

      Oh, it only matters if you’re brown.Seems fair.

      Interesting facts.

      1. None of my ancestors owned slaves.

      2. Most slave owners were black. Ask Alex Scott for details.

      3. Slavery still exists among African and Asian communities (even in western countries) today.

      4. White British people were the first to end slavery and to force the end of slavery on other (mostly non white) nations who didn’t want to stop.

      Thanks to our idiots ‘in charge’, it looks like my future retirement will take place in a nuclear holocaust wasteland anyway, so they can beg for gibz all they want.

    The problem with ethnic minority presenters on the BBC.

    The BBC’s white presenters are bad enough as they grovel and prostrate themselves in atonement for being White and for the evils that Whiteness has brought to the world but slap on a bit of blackface and it gives a powerful twist to the hatred of Britain and its white population. It doesn’t take much to get the BBC’s ethnic minority presenters to reveal their true colour, so to speak, and the enormous chip on the shoulder about British history whether its racism since the 50’s or colonialism…and of course it’s all one-sided…no reflection on how the native population felt as their communities were ‘invaded’ with no say in it…no understanding that ‘racism’ would be a natural reaction to these completely alien people arriving suddenly…and no understanding that these arrivals were not planned for and there was no preparation of the local communities….thus racism was a result of that lack of planning and preparation.

    You can switch on the BBC and all too often there will be a Black or Asian complaining about their treatment in the decades past, complaining that even now they just can’t get on[always an unchallenged myth/lie] and of course let’s not forget slavery.

    A perfect example was on Woman’s Hour the other day when we had this…

    ”I Did Something Bad’ is the debut novel by Pyae Moe Thet War. It tells the story of journalist Khin Haymar assigned by Vogue to get a scoop on Tyler Tun, Hollywood’s hottest movie star in exchange for a top job. But along the way a man ends up dead.’

    The man who ends up dead is a white man…and we had the casual slur from presenter Anita Rani that ‘We know what happens when a white person is killed by someone with a brown skin….’.

    A very telling causal comment that tripped off her tongue because it’s the deeply held view based on long held prejudice….whites are always treated better and given special, preferential treatment.

    You can see that even educated, sophisticated Asians still cling on to beliefs and prejudices that are clearly deeply ingrained in their minds and become staple fare at the dinner table regardless of fact…much as Blacks are taught to believe that the world is against them…and that the police are out to kill them all.

    I’m confused.

    But Ed Milliband keeps telling us that renewable energy is so cheap and we’re always being told about the economic case for renewables over ‘expensive’ gas, as evidenced by the recent increase in the energy cap for high demand winter.

    Well, they can’t both be right !!!!!!!

    ‘Refused service yet again with my guide dog – I’m done speaking out’
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c87x2p535wqo

    So hot on the heels of that BBC bint who spent 2 years campaigning the police to arrest a phone heavy breather (and I am sure the majority of the time she spent was during work time), here we have another BBC narcissist who thinks also thinks the world revolves around him.

    The crux of the matter is that some restaurants don’t want him inside with his dog. I’m not saying in any way that it’s right for them to do that – but considering all the problems the rest of us have in life, it’s annoying but not something to get extremely worked up about.

    How does this ‘entitled’ BBC narcissist take it ?.
    ‘but online threats and increasing hostility towards disabled people mean I’m giving up on asking publicly for equality and respect.’
    Online threats ???. Increasing hostility ???. I think ‘without providing evidence’ fits this statement very well because I suspect any such responses have been due to his own angry and bitter activity.
    We get: ‘I visited the restaurant, which I have chosen not to name, but was told I couldn’t enter as people could have allergies.’. Followed by: ‘They later changed their reason – saying they simply had no space.’. So he is still there ‘later’ – obviously causing a scene and refusing to go away then.
    How did this affect him ?
    ‘It’s difficult to describe how this feels.’
    ‘I don’t think you can understand it unless you know what it is like to face daily discrimination.’
    ‘I compare the feeling to December 2022 when I was briefly robbed of my smartphone near the BBC building in central London.’
    What ???. Take your custom elsewhere then FFS.

    This article is absolutely chock full of self pity. Another example:
    ‘Put simply, leaving my house is hard. Very fatiguingly hard.
    I’ve been privileged to work with four wonderful guides – Brandy, Chipp, Sammy and now Shawn.
    They’ve been my life, my freedom and independence.
    That all feels ripped away from me when I’m refused service.’

    And just look at what else happened to him:
    ‘Two years ago, I was refused access to different branches of Tesco in London.’
    No explanation why of course. And if that’s the worst that has happened in 2 years, it’s clearly not a big issue.

    What’s clear to me after reading this outrageous empathy soaking is that the BBC’s ‘Sean’ is just the kind of tw@t nobody likes. Nothing to do with his disability. I bet he goes to the same restaurants regularly to be refused just so he can play the victim.

    ‘On other occasions, social media users have threatened to punch me, kill my guide dog and tell me I need to “be careful”. One user said my mother should be raped.’
    Why did they say that Sean ?. What did you post first ?.

    So despite Sean proclaiming ‘he’s done speaking out’, he’s written a lengthy BBC article doing just that.

    He’s the one from a couple of years ago with another ‘victim fest’:
    ‘Blind BBC News correspondent Sean Dilley defeats mugger who stole his phone’ as if life is just so unfair to blind people. Because nobody else gets their phone stolen right ?.
    That story clearly went out through the BBC’s TNI wire because it appeared on dozens of sites.

    If you believe this man, the streets are full of people venting hate at blind people. I don’t believe that for one second : I think they will get special consideration by 99.9% of people.

    No wonder he works for the BBC. He fits right in. Grade A activist tw@t. If it wasn’t about this, it would be about something else.

    I don’t say our media are Plato’s shadow puppets and we reside captive in his cave of decieved non-reality. But sometimes an apparently out of the blue headline story does make you think…

    Police cover-up claims (Daily Mirror) – not Yvette Cooper’s Home Office or PM Sir Keir mind you – this case in point was somewhat before their time…

    Top cop faces probe into Notts stabbings… Exclusive… Inquiry ordered after families say she tried to gag press… Allegations Chief Constable Kate Meynell (Daily Mirror) – naturally it was a Karen leading the plod.

    But. Hmmmm. I’m imagining First Officer Spock of the star ship Enterprise raising a Vulcan eyebrow and uttering his famed expression “Fascinating”

    This comes in light of the alleged Southport incident cover-up – of which we may not speak.

    Are Merseyside Police being lined up as the scape goats for whatever comes out about what was prevented from coming out over the Southport incident, we wonder? Is this why Notts police are now being so publically put under the truncheon?

    Nottingham families say NHS and police have ‘blood on their hands’ over killings (BBC, August 2024)

    What have our authorities learned from the Nottingham stabbings case?

    “a series of errors, omissions and misjudgements” by mental health services. In a statement, the victims’ families said the organisations involved “must bear a heavy burden of responsibility”. (BBC)

    Will there be improvements? No. The main lesson taken to heart is of course…

    Gotta keep the families of the victims on message.

    Don’t make that mistake again.

    The royal couple met privately with the families of the three victims, including six-year-old Bebe King, seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe and nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar, who were fatally stabbed in the attack on 29 July. The royals also met the children’s dance teacher. (Sky News)

    Kate Middleton invites children who survived the Southport stabbings to her Christmas carol concert after meeting them in private last month (Daily Mail)

    Time for a palate cleansing calm down dear – brought to us care of a simping would-be pussy- (growler?) whipped Andrew Rawnsley in the Observer: Many Labour MPs want more of their top team to emulate the gloves-off style of Angela Rayner – calm down dear

    It’s all a matter of style – or lack of it, one supposes.

    Personally, politically, I’m rather more: At home with the Rees-Moggs (Sunday Telegraph)

    It is a bug bear of your daily print press reviewer hereabouts that he notices the formerly patriotic Times frontpage too often resembles in style and content the cover of the Guardian

    Come the weekend and imagine his dismay at the Sunday Times dupicating the very same feature photo subject as employed by the Observer: Sprinkle of the North… Snow brought by Storm Bert fell on Anthony Gormley’s Angel of the North (Sunday Times); Snow Angel… Fun in the snow next to Anthony Gormley’s Angel of the North… as Storm Bert brings heavy snowfall (Observer)

    Both organs go with ‘Assisted Dying’ as lead story. About which the regime suddenly appears to be in two minds.

    Two thirds of country back assisted dying (Sunday Times) – 80% of us want immigration reduced to under 100,000 per year – but we certainly won’t be allowed to have that (Future Politics Reality Check, What voters really think about immigration)

    Palace spruce-up means no state visits until 2027 (Sunday Times) – just as well, Starmer has threatened to arrest half the world’s leaders he doesn’t like for war crimes, if they should ever turn up in Britain.

    Billions upon billions in aid to Africa over the years. Experts sent over to help set up modern infrastructure.

    Corrupt African leaders syphon of the gibz for themselves and their families.

    This results is poor infrastructure and the inability to manage the pollution of drinking water, rivers and the environment in general. Projects go ‘unfinished’ after funds ‘run out.’ Poor management of industrial waste and general pollution due to said leaders not using the gibz properly.

    So whose fault is this?

    Yes, it’s Auntie Doris’s in Cleethorpes somehow and nothing to do with Dear Leader Mkoobo in some African nuthouse, or our ‘leaders’ who keep giving them our cash, without wondering what they did with the last lot. All this while not commenting on these leaders and their families owning multiple mansions, helicopters and Lamborghinis.

    Nope.

    Pay up Doris!

    I’d check who’s holding those ‘pay up’ placards

    My bet is ‘NGOs’ who are definitely nothing to do with various African leaders and their families. I’d bet some of them are actual family members.

    Absolute farce, but TTK will pay up, once he’s left the Emirates Stadium hospitality suite. He was at the Arsenal again yesterday…who cares about a ruined economy, prison crisis that he caused and the tiny issue of Russia about to potentially declare war on the UK due to his stupidity?

    Hope you enjoyed the game though, Dear Leader!

    Gordon Brown gets the red carpet treatement as a deferential BBC presenter listens in awe to his views on assisted dying…he’s against it….the basis for his opinion is the death of his 11 day old baby daughter….sad but not at all a comparable situation to an older person making their own decision whereas Brown is talking about a very emotive situation of a parent with a dying child…a totally different scenario.

    One of the arguments against is the possibility of coercion…pressuring someone to take that route. Hmmmm…but they have no problem with ‘coercion’, ie just saying ‘no, you’re not allowed to go that route’, from the ‘no’ side.

    As for palliative care…how about that euphemistically named ‘care pathway’….ie starving someone to death and denying them fluids…how is that ‘caring’? And you may be able to drug them so that there is no pain [or not] but that doesn’t stop them knowing what is going on and suffering a very slow death whilst being kept in a ‘mummified state’.

    The other day, in the context I think of immigration across Europe, the biased BBC referenced yet again ‘the far right’.

    Which got me thinking about statistics and the normal distribution curve. On this, the ‘far’ ends represent say 2 or 3% of the total.

    But hang on. Across Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, not to mention Eastern Europe, and, as the BBC would have it, Reform in the UK, the ‘far right’ is polling 20, 25, 30%, and are the largest party in some elections.

    So the ‘far tight’ are in fact the mainstream centre-right. The Trump win has surely given us the confidence not to shrink away if we are labelled ‘far right’ but to stand up and challenge and instead to say ‘s** off’ or ‘so what, we are the majority’. It is the ‘far left’ who are in the real 2-3% category , they just wield more proportional influence thanks to their media chums at the BBC and elsewhere.

    And it’s not just immigration. Mr S junior put it simplistically and yet tremendously accurately when he said the other day that Trump gets the ‘blokes’ vote. And in my experience ‘blokes’ can be women too. People who have had quite enough of the left wing favourite BBC issues of BLM, transgender, Gaza, climate change drivel, and just want someone who speaks their kind of language about their kind of real interests. If Reform can tap into that we could have an interesting time.

    ‘Creepy’ Adeel Iqbal was reported by his colleagues after he made a series of ‘wholly inappropriate’ comments while at work.

    The student optometrist told one co-worker that one of his female patients was ‘horny’ and breached data protection requirements when he messaged a patient on various social media sites after obtaining her phone number.

    Mr Iqbal sent the patient a video of Syrian men holding weapons and she was so frightened by the interaction that she installed CCTV outside her house and reported him to the police, a General Optical Council (GOC) hearing was told.”

    It is howling a gale outside and our gween wind energy generation is at 19GW 57% of total generation. So it is not 100% wind generation.

    When the wind blows too much the large wind farm operators are paid a ‘constraint payment’ to stop producing energy. This because there is either too much generation or because one bit of the electricity network cannot handle the peak electricity.

    https://www.ref.org.uk/energy-data/notes-on-wind-farm-constraint-payments

    This constraint payment is therefore a double wamy because not only do we loose the energy that could be generated we also have to pay the wind farm generator too.

    Some of these deals with wind generators are not public so there seems to be no website which we can go to to see how much we are being ripped off when wind speeds are high due to these payments.

    Transparency surkeer?

      SSE, which operates Viking, promised that it would be Britain’s “most productive” onshore wind farm. But figures from the Renewable Energy Foundation (REF) show 62 per cent of its output has had to be discarded in its first month.

      The below data is likely only part of the story for wind constraint payments given the ‘secret’ agreements:

      This page lists 11 rows with total cost = £319,241,116; total MWh = 6,467,622; average price = £47/MWh and weighted average of £49/MWh.
      Data last updated : 17-Nov-24

      https://www.ref.org.uk/constraints/

      So the annual cost of constraint payments is likely to exceed what is being stolen from the farmers with the new £500M IHT ripoff taxes.
