    From the BBC website today.

    “Abdelali Dallal is sentenced to eight years, but walks free today due to medical issues and will need to placed in a special jail, according to the judge.

    The 47-year-old is one of the few men who pleaded guilty, admitting he knew at the time that Gisèle Pelicot was given sleeping pills.”

    Oh so he’s one of the good ones then, BBC?

    and

    “Hassan Ouamou receives 12 years. The 30-year-old is currently on the run in Morocco. He has told investigators he has no intention of returning to France.”

    Funny how they suddenly don’t have a problem leaving Honkyland when they’re charged and sentenced for a crime.

      So hows that work in france?
      Roman Polanski lives there un-extraditable for his pedo rape in USA.
      So they don’t bother trying to get foreign criminals returned either?

        “For 31 years he lived as the world’s most celebrated fugitive, feted by his peers in the film industry while on the run from American police after admitting having sex with a child.

        But, it was revealed today, the past has finally caught up with Roman Polanski. The film director was arrested in Switzerland on Saturday on a decades-old warrant relating to the rape of a 13-year-old girl in 1977.

    Although I will say this.

    All these lefty (white) middle class feminists out on the streets of France today are hypocrites. I fully expect our own purple-haired man haters to do the same shortly.

    They’re only out because the main perpetrator and the vast majority of his accomplices are white males.

    Had the main guy been black or brown, not one of these harridans would be out on the streets today.

    The thing is, they’d say I was a misogynist for calling them out for this.

    But the fact is this (and it is something you can use against them.)

    If you ask them, “Do you think that the men guilty of this awful crime should be executed?”

    They will say no. The death penalty is evil etc.

    You can then point out that they would not do more about ‘smashing toxic masculinity’ than you would, so they can just stfu about it

    “Mentality, Paris effect & Malta sun – inside Fury’s revenge bid”

    This weekends heavyweight boxing world title fight rematch Fury v Usyk .

    “Fury – who was saved by the bell in the ninth round – did not make excuses for his performance in the aftermath of the split-decision points loss.”

    Says some clueless BBC diversity hire stani, Kal Sajad.
    Fury even started making excuses right in the ring – along the lines that the judges favoured Ukraine.
    And he wasn’t saved by the bell in the 9th.
    He was saved by the referee.
    Fury was seemingly one punch away from being put to sleep. When the ref jumped in, deeming him considered already knocked down, but held up by the ropes.
    Gives him a count, then the usually time to prove he’s fit to continue, starts the fight, then the bell goes.

    Fury started to look like the middle aged fat bloke he almost is in that fight.

    I’d like him to win, but he’s not the fighter he was 4 years ago.

    I think he’ll be stopped inside 8 rounds.

    My tips are legendarily terrible, so you can now fully expect Fury to hit Usyk with an upper cut in the first 5 seconds and knock him into row 17.

    Rachel from Accounts has ‘shelved ‘ some sort of pension review which was meant to be a ‘priority ‘ . I reckon it’s in preparation for accelerating the increase in pension age once the waspi women thing is out of the way …

    There may be some legal action on waspi which some might hope the Marxists lose – putting more pressure on an ever struggling treasury ….
    The budget tax increases are nothing like what the Marxists need to get anywhere near their manifesto fantasy ……

    The BBC economics types must be in some difficulty avoiding this truth – although they are used to being economic with the truth …

    “Under the Pensions Act 2007 the State Pension age for men and women will increase from 67 to 68 between 2044 and 2046. The Pensions Act 2014 provides for a regular review of the State Pension age, at least once every five years.”

    No way are they going to take 20 odd years to get it up to 68.
    Someone has to keep working to support the immigrants.
    This WASPI thing stinks of government manufactured protest, to misdirect.

      Eddy – if I recall – each added year to the State pension saves the treasury £3 billion … so it must be on the ‘to do list ‘ for Rachel from accounts …

      … and it’s one of those where people shrug their shoulders – unlike the mad winter fuel thing which hits fast and directly …

      Mouths like Alan sugar – who moaned about getting the money should be ashamed …

        Don’t forget that for every additional year you can oblige old people to keep working, the odds are higher that more of them will never make it to the age to draw the pension so it’s a win-win double whammy cash-saver for the Government.

    This is Jacqui Wakefield…

    She is a BBC “disinformation” reporter.
    Recently, she published an article, detailing how @StevenBartlett spreads “health misinformation”.
    In reality, she omitted a lot of key detail.
    This is how much of a shit show the BBC has become. Thread🧵

    Lovely smile, mind.

    A quick scan shows a lot of Graun, blue hair and booger snags. This is not optimal to approach open minded.

    Family’s £3,500 Lapland holiday dream shattered
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg3llqq41wo

    The holiday dream was shattered because it didn’t snow. That’s it.

    ‘A family who spent their life savings on a holiday to Lapland were left “stressed and disappointed” after the tour operator failed to cancel their trip due to a lack of snow.’

    Life savings on one holiday ?. Tut tut Federica, I think you just lied to try and spice up your pathetic article. Freerica also writes about LGBT so I suspect she is another quota-employee who has to be given something to do.

    A man attempting to murder two women can make the big story of the day when it suits the BBC’s agenda. It will come as no surprise that this one didn’t when you see who did it:

    Here we go again. Batshit bonkers Californian Gavin Newsom declares state of emergency in California over bird-flu:

    https://dailysceptic.org/2024/12/19/gavin-newsom-declares-state-of-emergency-over-california-bird-flu-outbreak/

    “It comes shortly after an individual in Louisiana was sent to hospital with bird flu, marking the U.S.’s first severe reaction to the H5N1 virus.”

    So that is one infection in the whole of the US. The bloke caught it from back-yard birds and he is not even dead. So why the emergency compared to fentanyl deaths / shooting deaths that actually happen in California?

    There is no sign at the moment of human-human transmission.

    P.S. Gavin H5N1 is a virus so medical masks are completely useless – you need FFP3 minimum.

    Ukraine shut down the canal in 2014 soon after Russia annexed Crimea. Russia restored the flow of water in March 2022 during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A 2015 study found that the canal had been providing 85% of Crimea’s water prior to the 2014 shutdown.

      HRW are a corrupt left-wing activist farce just like the UN.

      ‘HRW lists the left-of-center Ford Foundation as a partner1 and has received major funding from prominent left-of-center foundations, including the Open Society Foundations, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.’

      They only stand up for the rights of people on their ‘victims’ list. They don’t give a shit about anyone else. Which sums up the Left perfectly. The BBC are exactly the same.

    BBC’s Steve Rosenberg challenges Putin on his 25-year rule of Russia

    So once again a BBC ‘journalist’ asks a question which is not a question at all. It’s just a collection of leading, meaningless rhetoric which contains bullet points hiding a whole stack of inconvenient truths. I expect the whole question came from the commissars on the third floor propaganda dept here in the UK and poor Steve had to deliver it.

    And once agains the response makes him seem like a naive schoolboy.

    I enjoyed watching Trump do it to Sopel as well – but Sopel was so thick and arrogant, he didn’t even realise he should be embarassed.

    I don’t understand why anyone at all has dialogue with the BBC : they do it 100% in bad faith. Especially to any Tory politicians.

    Are they suppressing it?
    It’s not like they would do that is it?
    That would be like suppressing the Starmer farmer harmer granny freezing song which is probably being played on bbc radio stations all over the Land seeing as it’s number 1.

    Far left democrat lawfare now failing big time:

    “Trump cheers disqualification of ‘corrupt’ Fani Willis, says case is ‘entirely dead.’ ‘Everybody should receive an apology,’ President-elect Donald Trump told Fox News Digital.

    President-elect Trump reacted to the Georgia Court of Appeals decision to disqualify “corrupt” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her team, telling Fox News Digital that the case “is entirely dead” and that the “wonderful patriots who have been caught up in this for years” should “receive an apology.”

    The Georgia Court of Appeals on Thursday disqualified Willis and her team from prosecuting Trump and co-defendants in her election interference case.

    In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Trump said the “whole case has been a disgrace to justice.”

    “It was started by the Biden DOJ as an attack on his political opponent, Donald Trump,” he said, “They used anyone and anybody, and she has been disqualified, and her boyfriend has been disqualified, and they stole funds and went on trips.”

    Little doubt this one will be head hunted by the bbc:

    “A Tennessee college revealed that racist messages found written on campus were fabricated by a student in an apparent attempt to make Donald Trump supporters look bad.

    Rhodes College confirmed to Fox News Digital that a student had admitted to leaving the messages strewn about campus that were found over Thanksgiving break and were being investigated as a hate crime. Instead, it turned out to be yet another race hoax.

    “Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Campus Safety officers and the Memphis Police Department, the investigation into the hate crime that occurred recently on our campus has ended with the identification of the perpetrator and the conclusion this incident was fabricated. This individual has admitted responsibility,” the statement read.”

    On Dewbs they’ve been discussing the increasing use of Sharia Courts in the UK.

    Whlie I’m against this, I wouldn’t mind letting them handle the shoplifting criminals which our police and courts appear to be ignoring.

    Instead of the £200 (per shop) daily allowance to help yourself to without anything happening I would think a lot of shopkeepers would quite like the idea of the thieves being tried in Sharia Courts.
    There could be a lot of one arm bandits around after a year of Sharia shoplifting trials.

    More lying and double standards:

    “More Labour MPs join revolt over Waspi women as it emerges Chancellor Rachel Reeves campaigned for compensation alongside her MUM for those who suffered ‘injustice’
    Sir Keir, Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall – who ruled out a compensation package on Tuesday – are among the senior ministers who backed the Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) campaign when Labour was in opposition, including posing for pictures.

    And last night it was revealed that Ms Reeves once campaigned against the change in the state pension age – making it 65 for both sexes – with her mum.

    In 2016 she told a Parliamentary debate: ‘The women who are being forced to wait longer for their pension, and who have been hit twice—by the changes in 1995 and then again in 2011—have been done an injustice.

    ‘In 2011, as shadow Pensions Minister, I was proud to work with Age UK, USDAW and many women, including my mother, in calling on the Government to think again.’

    Richard Pinders link above which I repeat, shows some possibilites about who was involved:

    “Members of the SES serve in the key positions just below the top Presidential appointees. SES employees are the major link between these appointees and the rest of the Federal workforce. They operate and oversee nearly every government activity in approximately 75 Federal agencies. They are referred to as members by the Office of Personnel Management and are considered above “employee” designation. They are members of the SES, and don’t you forget that! Today’s SES runs the country.

    The SES even has its own flag (which has been largely removed from the government web pages since I last wrote about the SES in June of 2022). and their own non-profit agency called the Senior Executive Association (SEA), whose stated goal is to protect the rights of SES members – which lists both lobbying Congress and instituting legal action to protect SES member status. This non-profit acts like a union.

    SES members operate and oversee nearly every government activity in approximately 75 Federal agencies and serve in key positions just below the top Presidential appointees. Thus positioned, the SES bosses enforce political orthodoxy and fidelity to the deep state. They can act in this manner because their employment is virtually guaranteed. An SES employee’s job is so secure that an Agency Head cannot terminate an SES employee unless the Commissioner issues a certificate stating that the termination is in the public interest. Even then, the termination is subject to litigation.”

    “In 2019, UK’s Channel 4 aired an episode of Dispatches in which a source close to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein claimed that Peter Mandelson (while serving as a UK Cabinet Minister) made a phone call to Epstein in order to set up a meeting with Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan.”

    It found that Epstein appeared to “maintain a particularly close relationship with Prince Andrew the Duke of York and Lord Peter Mandelson, a senior member of the British government”.

    Economy doing badly due to the budget creating uncertainty and job losses and cuts in consumer spending….
    funny how the BBC hides the story away, a big story, in the business pages….

    ‘Interest rates held as Bank says economy doing worse’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd75yq1zlzqo

    The BBC takes its time to get to the budget whilst the Telegraph notes it in the first paragraph of its report…and of course it’s on the main news page…

    ‘The UK economy will fail to grow in the wake of the Budget, the Bank of England has warned, as companies respond to Rachel Reeves’s record tax raid by raising prices and slashing jobs.’

    BBC hides the story away and then hides what is responsible for the downturn away….if it had been a Tory budget would they be so quiet?

    Hundreds attend vigils ‘in tribute’ to Karen Cummings
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1wqgzleqddo

    ‘More than 600 people attended a vigil in Banbridge on Thursday evening.’
    ‘Banners bearing the names of 25 women killed in Northern Ireland since 2020 were held up.’
    ‘There were also candles, speeches and a minute’s silence.’

    ‘Ms Cummings, a children’s nurse, was found unconscious with a serious head injury in Laurel Heights in Banbridge, on Saturday evening.’
    Oddly we are given no other details whatsoever. There’s more to this story.

    Contrast this with the NHS worker who was assaulted in Londonistan and orally raped to death. A long, horrific way to be murdered.
    No vigil. No outrage and the story quickly disappeared.
    Why might that be ?.

    Suspects for the first murder: Glenn King and Kevin McGuigan.
    Convicted murderer for the second: Mohamed Iidow

    Sorry but I have nothing but contempt for the racist feminist misandrist hypocrites of this country who are suddenly outraged. Their ethics disgust me.
