    The BBC are slavering at the mouth over the possibility of some British soldiers being hauled up for not treating some bloodthirsty ISIS murderous terrorists very nicely…

    This constant quest to belittle Britain by what is supposed to be our national broadcaster is disgusting.

    Happy New year to all.

    I wish nothing but good things for all those who follow their conscience and common sense instead of being obsessed by their own ideology and driven by intolerance of those who do not agree with it.

    I have a strong sense that the ignorant masses are finally waking up to what the extremely dangerous hypocrites the Leftists actually are. It always amazes me at how long it take for the worm to turn for things like this.

    I also have a feeling it could be an eventful year when those cretins who voted for Starmer realise what they have done. When things reach a head but he still refuses to resign, things could get very ugly.

    But that is for tomorrow. Today we celebrate still being here for the start of another year.

      John inflation, insolvencies in the hospitality sector and a roaring government defecit will bring the idiot to heel but not without much pain all around. Sadly Starmer is just a symptom and we need to restore Parliamentary democracy. The narrative which has driven the transfer of power to the unelected has been orchestrated by the bBC. For years I have said that you can either have the bBC or democracy but not both. Time for a change.

    Happy New Year to everyone on here. Trump will improve America bur we are in danger here so we must hope thay things will get better.

    There is an old robot called Starmer
    Who is known as the Farmer Harmer
    To no-one’s surprise
    He tells loads of lies
    So we hope he’ll soon suffer his karma

    I must join in and wish everyone who writes here, a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

    As mentioned above by Loobs, I never listen to or watch the Beeboid Leftery, but I do look at their website occasionally, and of course, follow any links that chums here put up, just so I can have it confirmed that they are indeed a bunch of wrong-headed people up there in the Wireless Snivel Service, and they should really be taken to task, but that’ll never happen with such a weak ‘gummint’ as TTK’s…

    And another positive for this year, is that I’ve been invited to a chum’s house for drinks at lunchtime today! What could be a better way to start the year!

          Fedup it begs the question of how the Labour Party will replace Starmer. Given their righteous stance on every ism they should ban white males, straight or gay, from contesting. The really good outcome will be that the best potential leader may not be elected. It happens the whole time in the UK as we are ‘diversified’ into a mental straight jacket and the Labour Party need to feel the consequences. The margin between success and failure is very small.

    Let’s hope that our poor , much abused country has a better year in 2025 than in 2024.
    I’ve been looking at a lot of the political commentators and their reviews of last year and forecasts for this one. One thing that stands out is just how many of them seem unable , or more likely unwilling , to read the writing on the wall.
    The enormous numbers joining Reform has taken many commentators by complete surprise. It’s as though they hadn’t noticed the growing disillusionment and discontent amongst the British people with the LibLabCon Globalist Uniparty. Some are still trying to play down the growing presence of Reform and hoping that politics will carry on unchanged.
    Somehow they have convinced themselves , or are at least trying to convince their readers and listeners , that theUK is immune to the anti Globalist tide that swept Trump back into the White House, kicked Rutter out of Holland, that is close to unseating Macron and Trudeau and will probably see the AfD taking second place in the forthcoming German elections.
    I hope and believe that politics is changing , that we are seeing ordinary people asserting their power at the ballot box , that the era of the Globalists is coming to an end.
    History tells us that elites never give up power without a struggle so we can look forward to increased censorship , more propaganda, increased use of repression by the state against any opposition or dissent, increased use of lawfare to pull down political opponents .
    But history also tells us that elites seldom hold on to power once the first breach in their defensive wall is made. I suspect that President Trump’s second term may well be that first breach.

      Double – I agree – the approach that many conventional commentators take is that the ‘blue Labour Party ‘ is still alive – and in the case of the Telegraph punters in the comments section put them right with terms like ‘never vote Tory again – vote reform ‘ being quite common ….

      The group think is quite strong and there is a deep denial that right minded people vote reform …. And if they get their structure right they might break the 2 party ( uni party ) dictatorship …

    Same old biased, leftist, woke BBC.

    At 7 am, Amol ‘Mumbler’ Rajan gleefully announces a ‘bonus’. An extra guest presenter feature with Floella Benjamin. An excerpt was carefully chosen by the editorial team.

    I kid you not. Within 5 seconds the words ‘people of colour’ came out of the radio.

Her friend has presented with the same, and both have had a covid booster (she lives with an elderly relative). The medics said that they are seeing an increasing amount of this in people who’ve had the booster!

    Accused in court over Christmas Day double murder
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyv89j4gggo

    This is a terrible story by some absolute animal which on another day would be a big story about violence towards women and how evil men are.

    Yet once again a brief, basic facts only report from your impartial and definitely not racially biased BBC. They don’t to care one bit about this story.

    Perhaps this ‘artists impression’ of the man who did it which I found elsewhere tells us why:
    caa6d2a6edb6e99968bb7701da2356b1Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzM1NzM0MzIw-2.78594339.jpg?crop=8:5,smart&quality=75&auto=webp&width=500
    Clearly the BBC do not have any New Years resolutions to stop their illegal racist discrimination to protect BAME and preserve them as ‘victims’.

    Happy New Year to all !.

    Recent Channel deaths. There’s an interesting youtube video which reveals more information. The video features the three recent migrant deaths which we now know is four. What’s not been on the news is that an estimated 48 migrants went into the water from one boat in this incident and the boat actually continued its crossing regardless. The boat was obviously overloaded. What isn’t in the video but might be a possibility is that a bunch of boarders who hadn’t paid jumped on the boat and were thrown off. Our so called Government is doing nothing, the French Government are doing nothing despite being paid a tidy sum by us.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my New Year’s Eve, lounging on the sofa, drinking gallons of tea and trawling through my old diaries. Blimey, the things I used to get up to…

    The telly didn’t go on until about midnight and I tuned into (I think) the regular Jools Holland show. Someone (or something) appeared on stage, like the ghost of Christmas past. I knew that I recognised this strange apparition, but I couldn’t place him.

    The creature was emaciated, looked ancient, had unkempt white hair and a straggly white beard. It looked like a strange cross between old man Steptoe and an aging Catweazle. And then it struck me….Bob Bleedin’ Geldof. FFS, he looked AWFUL!

    Thankfully the sound was muted and I had Vaughan Williams massaging my ears, while this ghastly creature, like a sack of animated bones, jigged about. He appeared to be absolutely furious about something…but then he always did. It was so weird I had to chuckle.

    So, the old Boomtown Prat is still alive (just) and kicking. There’s hope for all of us…

    Happy New Year.

      Thank you Jeff for a good giggle at the start of the year. Your description of Geldoff was spot-on. In fact I had to check if he was still alive. Holland’s end of year show can be hit or miss but sure as hell beats Andy Stewarts White Heather Club !

    What a wonderful inspiring New Year’s speech from our TTK great leader. He begins – “We must look forward with hope” ​ ..……. Sorry! I’m really TRYING to begin the year with optimism.
    (This man is really off another planet – or I am! He tells a lie in every sentence of his speech.)

    However the statement ‘We must look forward with HOPE’ should be followed, as it’s all we have.

      Elon Reeve Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa. He is of British and Dutch ancestry with South African and US citizenship as well as being a subject of the Crown (King Charles III) under his Canadian citizenship. In 1990, he entered Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He was awarded the Royal Aeronautical Society Gold Medal in 2012 and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2018. In November 2024, he wrote that Britain was “going full Stalin”. In response, the authoritarian criminal left-wing establishment including the BBC, OFCOM, TNI and former East German Communists in Germany, now regard him as a “Far-Right” free speech absolutist, who recently has been criticised for supporting democracy in Germany and other states under Stalinist and EU rule.

    Should be interesting to find out the identity of the attacker….

    ‘The identity of the driver or possible motive(s) has not been made public by local police.’

    FBI doing its best to shut down speculation that it is a terrorist attack….though what else the driver was trying to achieve is hard to think of given the timing, the method, the shooting and the explosives they had….regardless of identity it would be difficult to claim ‘terror’ was not an objective…unless it is another of Mark Mardell’s ‘senseless tragedies’…maybe he/she was just a very angry person….

    ‘Special agent Althea Duncan is speaking now. She has taken over the case on behalf of the FBI.

    “This is not a terrorist event,” she says. This contradicts the mayor, who earlier described it as such.

    There are “improvised explosive devices” found on scene, and they are working to find out if they are “viable” devices.

    She stresses that the public should stay away from the area, “until we can figure out what is going on”.’

    You can’t help thinking the cover-up is underway…ala Southport here…..comments, just about all, reflect this….

    ‘i’m guessing Muslim as they still haven’t released the defendant’s identity…if it has been a Trump supporting patriot his name would be All over the news….God bless all involved.’

    Of course this could all be wrong and it’s an islamophobic, ex-Muslim born-again-Christian who voted Trump and wants to build a wall….the BBC’s North America editor is hoping it is.

    Another Welsh born boy with no links to terrorism, nothing to do with the usual terrorists, nothing to do with Ricin and probably has some mental issues.

    At least that’s what I’m thinking about this New Orleans car which drove into a crowd.

    The best way to handle this is to keep everything secret (unless it can be proven that it’s a far right car that drove into the crowd)
    It’s not as if it would start speculation leading to who knows what.

    Of course, people are getting wise to all the governments handling of these terrorism attacks and know how to interpret the bits of news that they allow us to know about.
    Nobody believes a word that governments say now.

    Well, regarding the horrendous events unfolding in New Orleans, at least the Americans have pretty swiftly ascertained that this was “a terrorist event”. I don’t think we’re sure who the terrorists are yet, but it’s a start…

    If you contrast and compare the “terrorist incidents” we endure in Blighty, it’s quite telling.

    Firstly, we would have the police obfuscating with, “We’re still conducting our inquiries.” This can go on for months. Then the mainstream media would, in one voice, ask us “not to jump to conclusions”…”let the police do their job”…and my personal favourite, “We don’t want to play into the hands of the far right”. That would never do!

    Because of the endless obfuscation by our own elite, ordinary people would sometimes post rather heated and inappropriate comments on social media and Keir Starmer and his storm troopers would come down on them like a ton of bricks.

    Our media spend more time criticising ordinary people who react to acts of terrorism than they ever do to the terrorist act itself. That seems to be conveniently forgotten.

    Anyone might think our media is bent…

        It’s been a big story in Nigeria. Vigilantes handed a goat to Kwara state police, which was then apparently paraded it in front of local reporters, accused of being a man who had attempted to steal a Mazda 323 belonging to Henrietta Ayijesu. Upon capture, the man had transformed himself into a goat. Now the Nigerian national police are denying everything. A spokesman said: “Of course goats can’t commit crime.”

    TWatO Watch (from yesterday) #1 – pro-Palestinian BBC at their worst …

    The UN has decided. Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza. I think I have decided that the UN is complicit with the enemies of Israel (Fatah, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iran) and the UN should be scrapped. The UN is meant to be a peacemaker, not sh1t thrower or stirrer. I remember UN Secretary Generals of old, people like Dag Hammersjkold who I constantly heard about on BBC Radio News on the Home Service in my childhood (long after my parents vicariously obtained a TV by having a grandparent move in with us), long before the decline of the BBC into bias. Dag Hammersjkold constantly sought to bring peace to various conflicts around the globe and there were a lot of them in the 1950s and 1960s; Congo, Nigeria, Ghana, Cyprus and Aden (present day Yemen).

    I admit that I am biased in favour of Israel. It is one of the factors that attracted me to this web-site that it supported Israel. The UN has decided that Israel has committed a war crime by attacking hospitals in Gaza. The UN claims that Israel’s claims that hospitals are used as Hamas command posts is ‘sketchy’ a BBC phrase used by Jonny Dymond. Maybe Marianna should be sprung into place to BBC Verify that a Gazan hospital Doctor and director of medicine was a full Colonel in Hamas?

    Babies are dying from the cold. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd0ep0j83p7o The UN claims that Israel is pushing the hospital system to collapse. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c77jy3epm25o. Maybe the UN could intervene to stop Hamas attacks on Israel. Oh, stupid me! I forgot that the UN appears to approve Hamas attacks on Israel via its UNRWA organisation. The UN appears to be blind to the fact that Hamas may be looting food lorries and making money from selling food to starving Palestinians. The UN claims that blankets are held up from reaching cold Palestinians by Israeli ‘red tape’. Maybe BBC Verify could fact-check that?

    • Emmanuel Goldstein says:

      If the Hospitals were simply Hospitals then the Israelis could just walk in, no need to attack.

      If they were being used by the terrorists then they are a legitimate target.

      The Israelis have absolutely no reason to attack a Hospital with all the bad press that goes with it so it follows that there IS a terrorist presence there which needs to be sorted.

      How can grown ups not understand this. I’m sure they all know the Hospitals (Schools etc) are being used by the terrorists but their hate for Jews is all consuming.

      If you were to be ‘dropped’ into one of the Countries in the middle east the only one you can feel safe in is Israel.

            There’s an extraordinary amount of image mirroring being used (or applied) to online content – particularly on YouTube – I’ve seen some weird stuff there, noticed it first on, of all things – Beatles videos.

            Check any writing ….

            I didn’t think it worth commenting on, now I do…. paranoia has me now looking at hands ….

        Not difficult to imagine that photos are being suppressed – give it 48 hours…. there were a lot of people there.

    New Orleans terrorist
    Shamsud Din Jabbar – linked to Islamic State.

    BBC will be adding “mental health problems / lone wolf” to future reports with zero justification.

      Harry – I see that this is all over the internet – but as I write this the BBC TV news is repeating what it has been putting out all day …
      The BBC will be desperate to swerve the name – maybe they’ll go to the TTK Madeira Toboggan incident being reported on YouTube …. TTK and family allegedly a jumped lots of British tourists ….. lol ….

        530 BBC1 news, no mention of suspects name. On BBC news channel, same reports, name appears on screen banner fleetingly. Maybe get Sir Sadiq to comment.

        well, the guy’s promo video didn’t last long ….

        He was an estate agent – brief biography – mundane sounding military service overseas, seemed pretty normal – one has to wonder why the wiring started sparking…

      One thing I am absolutely certain of is that when some mass-murder like this takes place, the BBC staff are all hoping it was the far-right so they can use it in headlines for a week.

      They don’t care much who died or how.

    When I last checked, the BBC were repeating the FBI line (or lie?) that the New Orleans killing was not an act of terrorism (which immediately led me to suspect that it was an act of terrorism).

    Tousi seems to know otherwise.

    It seems the attacker’s name is Shamsud Din Jabbar, which doesn’t sound very Louisiana, or old French, or even Welsh to me.

    But hey, I’m no expert.

        “Why is the FBI using Orwellian language?” Because, like police forces here, their first priority is not to protect the public or catch terrorists, but to deflect suspicion away from islamists and dampen down speculation. (Speculation which, 9 times out of 10, later turns out to have been correct. See Southport, etc.)
        Hopefully Trump will change all that.

        Meanwhile from just a couple of months ago:

        Far-right extremist jailed for terrorist offences
        https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0en8jg9r29o

        How many did this man murder ?.
        ‘He had been found guilty of terror offences, after police seized books, masks and memorabilia of an extreme right-wing nature, as well as a 3D-printed firearm from his home in August 2023.’

        Didn’t even leave his house.

        Let’s see what headline the BBC consider appropriate for this man.

        I confidently predict the words Muslim, Islam and Terrorist will not be included. Despite what he did being a thousand times worse.

    One thing that we can be certain of is that after Jan 20th there will be no cover up of the identity, beliefs or motive of the New Orleans attacker.
    Compare and contrast with the Southport attacker . Not of course with those protesters who were arrested, thrown in jail , found guilty by a TTK Kangaroo court without proper representation and then given extremely harsh sentences.
    Obviously TTK has zero regard for due process.

      This old adage applies… “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

      Lessons to be learned eh? Begin by scrapping the Telly Tax.

    Very sad to see that the bad driving we see from time to time in Europe, usually by people of certain religious beliefs, has spread across to New Orleans.

    I suppose the perpetrator’s name and the suggestions he carried an IS flag and was wearing a suicide vest may be relevant but I am confident the impartial BBC will want to be absolutely 100% sure of the facts before announcing anything at all.

    ‘Shamsud Din Jabbar’…curious name for a Mexican nationalist….Times must have got that wrong somehow….I guess not all Muslims are terrorists but most terrorists still are Muslim…even if they’re islamophobic ones….and even if the BBC tries to assert that the Far-Right is the biggest threat we face.

    Perhaps they’ll blame Trump…his desire to stop Muslim immigration must surely have inflamed feelings…just as the Tory government’s desire to control immigration led to the riots this summer…..says Asian Labour politician…

    ‘Tory focus on immigration helped stoke riots, equalities committee chair says’
    ‘The Conservative government’s relentless focus on small boat crossings and delays processing asylum claims played a role in stoking August’s UK riots, the chair of the Commons equalities committee has said.

    The Labour MP Sarah Owen, whose committee has launched an inquiry into improving community cohesion after the unrest, warned that Reform UK MPs were also making the task of strengthening communities more urgent.

    “With a lot of the Reform MPs, their tone, their rhetoric, the language that they use – they know they’re whistling to that particular tune. They know that,” she told the Guardian.’

    Very much the type of narrative the BBC uses to silence people.
