    Look guys, just because a man with a muslim name and some others conspired to carry out an attack that bears all the hallmarks of an islamic terrorist attack, that does NOT mean it was.

    It could equally well have been a far-right, islamophobic Welshman.

    You are advised to stop speculating immediately, or Starmer / Khant will send their goons around, and a hanging judge will have you banged up by tomorrow.

    Further update: Ok, so some ISIS flags were found in the vehicle, so what? The inscription on those flags is open to interpretation, and can mean “let’s be nice to Infidels” according to language experts from the Met.

    Era of cheap Russian gas to EU ends as transit across Ukraine stops
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4glyjx9m71o

    Here we have a very confusing story.

    Firstly, I have been under the impression from the BBC that all gas from Russia was stopped because Russia deserves to die in the most horrible way possible. But clearly it wasn’t. A massive combination of lies-by-inference and lies-by omission from the BBC. Again.

    It rambles about about some contract, but what I see is this:

    ‘The Soviet-era pipeline enters Ukraine near the Russian village of Sudzha, which has been occupied by Ukrainian forces which have staged an incursion into areas of Russia’s Kursk region’

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that his country would not allow Russia to “earn additional billions on our blood”.
    Quite how they are earning it ‘on their blood’ I’m not sure. It’s just a pipe. But Zelensky has had a free pass at the BBC to say any nonsense he likes and not be questioned. I do not trust anything about that man.

    So in all the confusion of this article, it seems that as Ukraine have the area where this pipeline enters Ukraine, he has unilaterally decided to shut it off and let the EU suffer the consequences. In the middle of winter.

    The article makes no mention of what happens when Ukraine are ejected from Kursk – as they surely will be.

    All in all a bizarre piece from the BBC. And when they do that, it always means they are trying to prevent us all working out the real truth of what has happened. The lie by obfuscation.

    One thing for sure is that this one:
    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT9C676CKcQKtsKa1jkurVCWIJEir9qpncsPw&s
    Who is more at home writing about ‘art’ did not play any part in the intellectual content. That will be from the third-floor commissars in BBC head office.

      Despite the title, it says EU will still take Russian gas.

      “Russia can still send gas to Hungary, Turkey and Serbia through the TurkStream pipeline across the Black Sea.”
      So the EU is not cut off from Russian gas
      But I guess Turkey charges a transit fee

        A BBC spokesperson, Mr Saville-Edwards-Harris (pronouns he/she/it) writes:

    You have to laugh at the absolute rubbish the Leftists MSM – with the BBC leading the charge – feed us when something like this happens.

    From the BBC live report:
    ‘The pavement bollards on Bourbon Street, from Canal Street to St. Ann Street, which are partly-designed to keep pedestrians safe, were in the process of being upgraded when the attack occurred this morning.’

    Yes BBC. Safe from Islamic terrorist attacks.

    How many millions of bollards are spread across all the streets of major cities in the Western world now – with the sole purpose to guard against terrorist attacks such as this one by Muslims ?.

    And how many times have you seen that fact being reported by the MSM ?.

    Never in my experience. Meanwhile a far-right kid makes headline news being sent to prison because he downloaded something or printed something on his 3D printer.

    The USA has a chance to do something about this with the re-election of Trump. What can we do with this far-Left fascist in power ?. He would burn the country before he would resign. No matter what the people say.

      Of course the tragic victims are already yesterday’s news and, it seems, the perp.

      No, the issue is the lessons to be learned from the bits and bobs now required to stop death cult racers which, admitedly appear to be still proving tricky to perfect given the many and varied ways they can be circumvented.

      Our two just got back from NYE in London, and though my place of birth I let go a sigh of relief as they signalled they safe arrival back in the Shires, as yet untainted by the oversight of enobled mayoral types in armoured 4x4s.

      “Kemi Badenoch backs Elon Musk’s demand for a new probe into ‘rape gangs scandal’ after X owner claimed Keir Starmer allowed abusers to ‘exploit young girls without facing justice’.

      The X owner used the platform to allege that the Prime Minister allowed rape gangs to ‘exploit young girls without facing justice’ when he was England and Wales’ top prosecutor.

      He also alleged that Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips was refusing to investigate the gangs because it would lead back to the PM’s time as director of public prosecutions between 2008 and 2013.

      Mr Musk, who also shared his backing for far-right agitator Tommy Robinson, wrote that she ‘deserves to be in prison’, after she denied requests from Oldham Council to lead a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in the town.”

    Tens of thousands of victims…think about that…silence from the bbc etc

    “Last January a report found young girls were ‘left at the mercy’ of paedophile grooming gangs for years in Rochdale because of failings by senior police and council bosses.

    The damning 173-page review covers 2004 to 2013 and sets out multiple failed investigations by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) and apparent local authority indifference to the plight of hundreds of youngsters, mainly white girls from poor backgrounds, all identified as potential victims of abuse in Rochdale by Asian men.

    Successive police operations were launched, but these were insufficiently resourced to match the scale of the widespread organised exploitation within the area.

    The report follows reports by the same authors on grooming in Manchester and Oldham, which found authorities had again failed children, leaving them in the clutches of paedophiles.

    The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse, which published its final report in 2022, described the sexual abuse of children as an ‘epidemic that leaves tens of thousands of victims in its poisonous wake’.”

      And that’s just Rochdale. Multiply that by dozens for the whole country and the figure is astronomical.
      And it can’t be repeated too often that opinion formers like the BBC are DIRECTLY to blame for having created a mindset where it was verboten to notice what was going on, or report it, or take action, for fear of the dreaded accusation of racism and islamophobia.
      And nothing’s changed.

    A late Merry Christmas to all you good people on this site and nice to see it hasn’t been taken down (yet).

    Not solely BBC but an observation from the last few days… with right-wingers the language is that someone’s been radicalised by or drawn into far-right circles. Implying a shadowy, sinister underworld. Whereas I see the MSM’s go-to phrase now for terror attacks is that they’re “inspired by” various Islamic groups. Which suggests they’ve been roused by some sort of creative force or stirred into action by an inventive idea.

    It’s a far cry from the total destruction that always results, and I don’t think the double standard is accidental.

    It’s not just the likes of the BBC that despise Trump.
    Sadly, even the so-called right-wing press can barely hide their contempt.
    In today’s DT, its Associate Editor Gordon Rayner writes a piece dripping with disdain for Orange Man’s response to the New Orleans islamic terror attack.
    It’s peppered with words like ‘crass’ ‘distasteful’ ‘shameless opportunism’ and ‘populist’ (a dirty word for our elite grandees).

    Trump’s got one hell of an uphill struggle ahead, with not just the liberal left against him, but even the legacy conservative media.

    It’s just possible the exploding Tesla outside the Trump Hotel was an accident (but what are the odds?!); it’s also possible it was an islamic terror attack. But it’s also not impossible that it was a Deep State attack, or warning.

    A lot of very important people are very nervous about what Trump will do when in power, and what he and Musk will expose about the Deep State. They will stop at nothing to intimidate or eliminate them.

    I hope they have good security around them – private, not FBI.

    So the government refuses to hold an enquiry into the rape and torture gangs and says that it is up to councils to hold their own enquiries if the wish to.
    Usually local council election aren’t of great significance but if Reform pledge to hold such enquiries in any council ares that they win control of it will add a great deal of importance to the May elections.
    We all know that if the truth is ever allowed to come out a lot of establishment supporters , some probably very senior , will have a lot of questions to answer.
    Reform would show how necessary it is to overthrow the corrupt LibLabCon establishment and how dangerous it is have a large and growing Muslim population in our country.
    It would be enormously popular with the public and very uncomfortable for the establishment.
    I’m not sure if local councils are allowed to receive large donations from business to fund such enquiries , to employ the very best investigators and legal eagles , but if they are Elon Musk could fund them. He would get a huge return on his money in terms of busting open British politics and freeing the British people.

      Meanwhile, Wiltshire’s 19,172 sexual offences & 1,913 burglaries, no doubt have all been cleared up.”

        Thanks Stew

        I didn’t look very far for provenance on the fathead plod.

        Wiltshire police – seems like about one a month gets sacked for something sexual.

        – they actually suppress reporting in the local News quest papers

    From GBNews

    Where is all this headed?
    The signs are not good.
    Musk’s libertarian leanings and emphasis on free speech fundamentally clash with what he perceives as Starmer’s more regulatory and progressive policies.
    These ideological differences make reconciliation challenging since they reflect core beliefs about governance and societal structure.
    All this would be a headache for Starmer if it only existed in the online realm, but it’s about to cross over into a political one.
    With Musk playing a key role in the incoming Trump administration, his criticisms take on an international dimension, potentially affecting UK-US relations.
    Heading up the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency, Musk will advise Donald Trump on innovation and efficiency, aiming to reduce the federal budget by at least $2trillion (£1.5trillion).
    He aims to “clear the decks” of undue regulations and federal agencies, suggesting a massive overhaul in government operations.
    Contrast this with the Labour Party under Starmer, which seeks to strengthen the role of government in strategic sectors, such as infrastructure and public services. Starmer’s vision involves revitalising public services through investment rather than reduction, emphasising the role of government in setting national strategies and ensuring equitable growth.
    Musk’s philosophy leans towards libertarianism, emphasising free markets, minimal government intervention, and a belief that less regulation leads to more innovation and economic freedom.
    His comments about Starmer’s government being a “police state” indicate his discomfort with what he perceives as over-regulation.
    This extends to his absolutist approach to free speech.
    It would appear that Starmer and his close circle are hoping that Trump will come to his senses and Musk’s influence will wane once he gets down to business.
    When asked about Musk’s political ambitions, senior cabinet Senior Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden said: “Let’s see how that works out. In terms of specific outreach to him, not that I am aware of.”

      As I have written here before there really is going to be a political war between the US and TTK – which TTK stands no chance of winning on any front .

      Trump has all the cards – ranging from a real electoral mandate through to huge public support – TTK has neither .

      I just hope Trump uses is tools to bring down the current regime – which I submit has no true legitimacy ….

    No answers yet, but more and more questions about the connections between the New Orleans terrorist, the Las Vegas attacker, the second would-be Trump assassin and the US military installation at Fort Bragg. Curiouser and curiouser.

    Elon musk is speaking out more and more on X about the political repression in the UK . I bet TTK bans X this year – for community cohesion … I think mr musk is beyond the understanding of TTK – being bribed for a £2k pair of glasses ..

      Been dipping in on X this evening. There is a serious disturbance in The Farce. All the usually suspect are out on the platform they loathe, owned by the bloke they are utterly deranged about.

      Hundreds of the predictable weasels. This rather epitomises them.

      Notably, and encouragingly, they are all getting ratioed up the whazoo. Seems folk are pretty fed up with the whole sorry cabal of cover up apologists and their legal kapos.

      And TTK might not be jumping queue at the airport to get back.

        I mentioned to RatioWatch about how almost all tweets from UK Labour top figures like Miliband and Starmer etc, get routinely ratioed , unless they rope a lefty-bot army in.

    Irrespective of the reports of links or otherwise between the NOLA and Las Vegas car events…….

    I am struck by the issuing of key information about the perpetrators at high speed. We know who, what, how, why, when, background details etc.

    I can’t help thinking that if it had happened in the UK, all we would know by this same point would be that is was ‘a man’ and the BBC would have absolutely no idea what happened and why.

    It’s a pity that people’s comments from this morning were lost.
    In the past I have recovered missing such data , cos I have been lucky enough to have had the page open on another machine. so I rushed back to it, disconnected it from the internet so it didn’t overwrite the cached copy I had in an open tab . Then saved that open tab and rebuilt the webpage from that.

    Sometimes I find Google has visited the site that day so there is a cached copy on the Google server.
    However today we are unlucky .. neither Google nor Bing visited today so cache from them
    And the internet archive sites think we are so small , they rarely archive us.

    “We have no idea how many people are living in Britain.

    More recently, NHS records found there to be 63 million registered GP patients in England as of September 2024. Yet the population of England was 56 million in the 2021 census, and only 57 million in 2022, according to the Office for National Statistics. Even if you factor in net migration since then – 764,000 in 2022 and 685,000 in 2023 for the whole of the UK – that doesn’t add up. ”

    “In fact, everything is a mystery. In November last year, for example, ‘the Home Office admitted it does not know the whereabouts of more than 17,000 asylum seekers whose claims have been discontinued.’

    When Lee Anderson asked Home Office officials how many people arriving on small boats had been returned, they didn’t know either. ‘The big boss hasn’t got a clue’, he concluded.”
