If this all seems odd, then consider how Britain actually records people who come in and out of the country. Until the pandemic, we did so by hiring people to stand around asking random travellers, as the BBC explained.
For 362 days a year, IPS staff leap in front of travellers at 19 airports, eight ports and the Channel Tunnel rail link. They ask them for a bit of their life story: where they’re from, why they’re in the UK and how long they might be staying.
Up to 800,000 people a year take part and about 250,000 of those results are put through the statistical mixer to come up with an estimate for the number of people either arriving to live in the UK, or leaving the UK for at least a year – the internationally-agreed definition of a long-term migrant.
But the IPS doesn’t cover all the ports, all of the time. In Dover there are up to 51 ferry arrivals a day – and the IPS only covers four days’ worth of them over an entire year. The nationwide sample works out at just over 1 per cent of Heathrow’s annual traffic of 78 million people.
‘Ignore whatever Home Secretaries and NGOs say about deportations: not only do we not look for overstayers, we often don’t know they exist. In the same time period 201,000 different people were picked up on exit checks who we didn’t know were actually here until they flew out.’
As one of the smartest Twitter accounts explains, Britain is unusual in:
‘not having an ID system. There is no central register of residents or citizens. People prove their identity through random documents (driving licences, utility bills), and businesses check against incomplete databases (especially credit rating agencies). The UK does not systematically collect data on people entering and leaving the country. Many regular border crossings aren’t centrally recorded. To be clear: unless you fly in, it’s perfectly possible to cross the British border undetected. This is particularly true of sea and rail. A Blair-era attempt to fix this (eBorders) was abandoned in 2014. The British government is simply uninterested in the problem.
On a statistical level, there is even more confusion. The Office for National Statistics uses an incredibly dated methodology to estimate net immigration: standing at the airport asking random travellers if they plan to stay in the UK… The ONS write at length defending their methods, but underlying it is the assumption that people will reply accurately to a letter from the government asking them to list everyone living at an address. Which in modern Britain just isn’t plausible. Housing and immigration policy give many people in the UK a strong incentive to misrepresent their residency, in a way that can only be picked up on anecdotally, or when forced into the open by a freak event.’
How is ‘today ‘ today ? I really can’t listen any more – the same approved tune .. im guessing they’ll role Andrew dilnott out to rage at the latest scheme to avoid dealing with social ( elderly ) care .
The term ‘social care ‘ sounds so ‘clinical’ doesn’t it ? But if you said ‘elderly care ‘ people might notice a bit more and demand proper cover .
So there is to be another ‘inquiry ‘ and that won’t report until 2028 ? Just in time to be buried at the next election . Start again – inquiry – reports in 2032? Just in time for the 2034? Election ….
“During the course of the inquest it transpired the two carers on duty were not native English speakers, one was Romanian and the other Indian.
One of the workers had not passed a Secure English Language Test, which is a requirement for a work visa, so was not qualified or permitted to work in the UK.”
Having witnessed ‘social care ‘ at first hand I know full well how those in need are treated – badly – and it will get worse as the country rapidly declines …
Social care.
Savings over £23,000. No state payments
Savings under £23,000. Partial state payments.
Savings under £13,000. Full state payments.
These rates have not been changed in years, make that decades.
As usual, anyone with the temerity to have held down a decent job, and saved for their retirement, gets taken to the cleaners. The feckless meanwhile, those who choose not to work or save, or dare I mention illegal asylum seekers and legal immigrants who do not even speak English, get the lot. And it’s all dressed up as a ‘caring’ society, helping ‘those most in need’.
It’s disgusting. The socialist redistribution of wealth gone mad.
BBC do not mention …

“Do you know a lot of New Yorkers who talk about wanting to leave New York but never do?”
“I think that New York is a model of of a new concentration camp where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves and the inmates are the guards. They have pride in this thing they built, and they built their own prison. So they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are guards and prisoners.”
The “therapeutic state” is a phrase coined by Thomas Szasz in 1963. The collaboration between psychiatry and government leads to what Szasz calls the therapeutic state, a system in which disapproved actions, thoughts, and emotions are repressed (“cured”) through pseudomedical interventions.

This morning’s left-leaning i news ‘weather’ report: ‘Stay inside’ warning as health agency warns of freezing snow
Wrong type of snow?
As opposed to some of that old-fashioned luke warm mild snow we used to get?
Mr AsI envisages a broader, less Soviet bolshevik, more akin to some NHS/BBC/Met Office version of our present theraputic State
Do not go out at night… or morning, NHS warns… warnings of a rise in deaths as temperatures drop below zero today (Telegraph) – but global warming is a bad thing, because…?
Remember how your old mum used to remind you not to venture out in January without your scarf and most importantly your winter vest on?
Thermal underwear is officially cool (Telegraph)
NHS and UK Health Security Agency urges people to… keep active and wear several layers of clothing (Telegraph) – nice to see multiple health agencies doubling up on the advice and in competition for our attention. We wouldn’t want to think there were a monopoly of official messaging. I’m guessing this stay at home advice comes from a public sector busy WFH on our behalf.
Blitz spirit
VE & VJ Day… 80 years on… Your country needs you… Call-out for WW2 vetreans to lead commemorations – enthuses the flagging Labour government-supporting Daily Mirror
Whereas: French-trained troops in Ukraine go Awol… About 1,700 soldiers from a unit equipped by the west and trained in France went absent without leave before even a shot was fired (Telegraph) – further comment from Mr AsI would seem superfluous.
Cold weather – any excuse for a lock down party . Those plod drones will be up filming criminals walking their dogs again … flatten the curve . Save their NHS –
Why ‘nudge’?
It is called ‘nudge’ after the book by Richard Thaler (who went on to win the Nobel prize in economics) and Cass Sunstein which set out how people are not the rational economic actors beloved of conventional economic theory – but can be influenced by “choice architecture” into making better choices in their own interests.
better choices in their own interests – better choices in WHOSE interest?
The 3rd day of 2025 is a bit early for the end of year award porn – but I have a strong contender for most deceitful news head line courtesy of the Guardian
‘Ministers plan biggest shake-up of adult social care in England for decades’
We really have gone gaga as a nation. The first cold snap of the winter. A few grains of snow. A frost. And the BBC and much of the MSM flood us with dire warnings about everything.
An even bigger potential crisis in the bloated NHS. Roads with ice on them. My goodness, how will we survive? I suppose it’s all part of the socialist wet dream of keeping us constantly under control and grateful to them for ‘looking after us’.

With all these lone wolves out driving rental cars I wonder how long it will be before *rental cars* legally have to be fitted with kill switches and GPS. Here is what is already happening:
“Spoke to someone this week He has a fleet of about 50 in Texas. He told me that over the last 2 months, he repo 7 cars. While the person is driving, he honks the horn. Wait for them to pull over and he Killswitch the car.
When the guest calls up , he tells them he is dispatching a tow truck right away to fix the issue”
The kill switch could be automatically activated if the vehicle entered a geo-fenced area or used excessive speed in a built-up area. Never imagined in a month of Sundays I would be pushing this idea!
As an alternative the car could play Val Doonican songs if it detected foul-play.
Another – I wasted my money and want compensation – story
Basically BBC feeling sorry for owners, who blindly bought something, but as usual not telling the story properly.
Joanne Horner-Bloomfield
spends £37.000 total on the static holiday park home in 2022
Couldn’t afford the increase in annual ground rent from
£2,795 to £4,100 (2024)
So ends up selling it for £5000 after a year.
‘She added: “It just broke my heart. I’m devastated that at 65 years of age I’m reduced to using a food bank.’
Story doesn’t make sense, £5000 buys a lot of food…
‘…worked as a carer before ill health forced her to stop, and does not yet receive a pension’
So the story is she can’t access benefits? Or what
BBC doesn’t bother telling us.
“The Richardsons said a Tattershall Lakes salesperson assured them they would make enough income from hiring out their caravan to cover their monthly finance repayments of £1,269.”
“We had months where we were taking £1,200 in rental costs, but we would only receive £200 of that because of linen charges, [visitor] passes, cleaning fees,” said Mr Richardson, 46.
Mr Musk reposted an article in The Daily Telegraph by shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick in which he says the ‘grooming gangs’ should be renamed ‘torture rape gangs’.
He wrote that Mr Musk’s comments had shamed ‘the establishment by taking more interest in bringing these rape gangs to justice in one evening than most of the British establishment has for decades’.
Pol POT PLANT – we are heading to year Ed Miliband zero!
“The new rulers of **Cambodia call 1975** “Year Zero”, the dawn of an age in which there will be

** no hate either in 2025 or you will be arrested!
Even when news organizations, like the BBC, use guidelines similar to the AP’s standard, they come under attack for not using the word “terrorist” when describing activities like the Hamas attacks in Israel. In reporting about the criticism, the BBC wrote, “Veteran BBC foreign correspondent John Simpson said, ‘calling someone a terrorist means you’re taking sides.”’ The article continued,
A BBC spokesperson said, “We always take our use of language very seriously. Anyone watching or listening to our coverage will hear the word ‘terrorist’ used many times – we attribute it to those who are using it, for example, the UK Government.”
Avoid phrases that might illicit admiration for the attacker such as “mastermind behind the attack” or calling an attack “sophisticated.”
I never felt an old guy in Qatar sending young druggies to Israel to kill babies and rape women were either.

I heard that clegg was being fired because the adults are now back in charge – and recall that clegg is the reason why our nuclear power stations were never replaced … he did a merkel .
But I also mused about the actual responsibility of named politicians – some stuff comes out under the 30 year rule – such as papers from a couple of days ago proving Blair was warned that unrestricted EU immigration would be ‘bad ‘.
But now I wonder about all those policy decisions that have dragged Britain into the third world …..
Fed, “I heard that clegg was being fired” – really. That is not the BBC’s view. They think Nick Clegg is leaving Meta because he wants to spend more time with his garden. Don’t think he was going to be fired, I could be wrong, of course, but the BBC article says Clegg will be handing over to his successore “before moving on to “new adventures”.”
BBC treading carefully not to upset its’ approved Marxist party with the ‘care inquiry ‘. It’s very simple . It will cost . But the reds don’t want to pay – and know that lots of old people will die by the time their report is done and the reds are thrown out of office ….
Mum of twins sadly loses one (they were premature births at just 26 weeks): “‘I would encourage everyone to get their child vaccinated if possible and I’d like to see it made mandatory, as it could save a life,’ Ms Hughes said.”
The only other agencies carrying this story — Yahoo and the Irish Sun — make no mention of the mother calling for mandatory vaccines. Which rather suggests BBC editorial and/or UKHSA have inserted some propaganda and left out relevant medical details. (Also not on the BBC: mum reporting that they had problems with their lungs, their immune systems, and that the doctors don’t know why his heart stopped.)
UK career (I wouldn’t ever call them professional) politicians of all stripes are just in thrall to and terrified of the MSM extruded lefty rent a mob. That’s why so many of them resent Trump + (GFY, BBC) Musk.

Bezos’s behemoth is taking the piss – hugely. Looking at a box with half a dozen fake chips in it – all were advertised by Amazon as genuine – it’s not a car boot sale…
“The bins were then loaded on to lorries, with electrical goods taken to a waste management site and the remainder to a recycling centre. An ex-employee told ITV that workers in the warehouse had a target to destroy 130,000 items a week.”
Similar investigations in France and Germany have found evidence of the practice in other Amazon warehouses. The GMB union, which is concerned about worker safety in its depots, said the online retailer was a “greedy, profit-driven company that would always put profits before the planet”.
“misjudged and certainly misinformed”, Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said.
There have been numerous investigations into the systematic rape of girls and young women by organised gangs, including in Rotherham, Cornwall, Derbyshire and Bristol.
“It doesn’t need more consultation, it does not need more research or discussion, it just needs to be done.”
“It is growing (gang r*pe culture), there’s no doubt about that. A large amount of the growth in my view is about raised awareness.” – Cressida Dick @1:40 {youtube}
Just reading that and if it had suited them, the BBC would have put ‘Without providing evidence’ next to that quote.
That article is one big crock of BBC inference and obfuscation to make you think Musk is wrong by hitting you with lots of statements inferring he is wrong but not actually proving it. Because he is right. It’s all part of the BBC’s new MDS – a side effect of TDS.
Hi JohnC – Most people will just see the title of the article and move on – that is where the power is “Musk ‘misinformed’ on grooming gangs, says Streeting”
So the story is “Musk ‘misinformed’” rather than “UK Gov do nothing”

All part of the strategy to undermine Trump and Reform. I suspect they have had many meetings about how they can do it.

Oh my aching sides …. “Labour has been careful not to comment too widely on the matter while Siddiq herself has only penned a small article on her low-profile local activities over Christmas.

Siddiq has been a Labour party member since she was 16. But she also worked for a time within the Awami League’s EU and UK “lobbying unit and election strategy team”, according to a Labour blog post that has since been deleted.
“Victims who were preyed upon and raped by grooming gangs demand public inquiry – as Elon Musk pours more fuel on spat with Keir Starmer over scandal.
Sarah Wilson was groomed and raped by paedophiles in Rotherham for five years from the age of 11 – with one attack taking place in a school playground.
She wrote on X: ‘Jess Phillips needs to hang her head in shame!!! Anyone who denies an independent investigation has a lot to hide.’
Sammy Woodhouse was just 14 when she met her rapist, Arshid Hussain, who was jailed for 35 years in 2016. Hussain, known in Rotherham as Mad Ash, was reportedly contacted by the council about care proceedings.
She told LBC: ‘We have report, after report, after report telling us the same thing. We know what’s happening in this country because people like myself have been giving thousands of interviews to the mainstream media telling you about it.
‘What’s not happening is action – there’s not enough paedophiles being taken through the courts and when they are they’re walking free. There’s no professionals being held to account.'”
I am sure many on here would love to have the power to give certain sneaky politicians a well needed long overdue hefty kick up the jacksie, I know would.
Therefore if nothing else to see them flounder and rage under Musk’s very direct pull no punches comments feels bloody good to me!
“One of the things that has changed is that we do now recognise what grooming is.
“The important thing that has been changing in the past 12 months is that communities know that they have got a key part to play in making sure we identify those responsible
“We’re committed to doing everything we can to bring these people to justice and we are bringing people to justice.”
Jess Phillips says she sought medical attention at Birmingham hospital for trouble breathing, was seen by Palestinian doctor who apparently prioritized her due to her political views
HA HA HAHA !
Describing the scene at the hospital, Phillips was quoted as saying she had “genuinely seen better facilities, health facilities, in war zones [and] in developing countries around the world.”
Grooming Gangs: WATCH Shocking Moment Councillor SILENCED Over Revealing Exploitation Figures..

An opinion piece, and I can’t disagree. But you’ll never hear it from the bbc mob feeling the weight of Starmers balls on their collective tongues:
“Labour has declared war on Britain – and it’s winning!
I’ve seen some bad governments in my time, but Keir Starmer’s Labour is on a different level. It seems to be on a mission to destroy the UK.
Britons are famously cynical about their politicians but most of us assume they’re broadly trying to do their best for the country.
Not this lot.
The only way I can sensibly explain Keir Starmer’s strategy is to assume Labour is working to destroy us. Then it all fits into place.
Take Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. His energy policy is like a death ray aimed at the UK economy.
For decades, Treasury coffers have been boosted by North Sea oil and gas revenues. Without them, we’d be even poorer than we already are.
So what does Miliband do?
Ban new oil and gas drilling. This will blow a hole in the UK’s bottom line, costing us billions and destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Any oil and gas companies daft enough to remain will be annihilated by windfall taxes. Donald Trump is watching and can’t believe his eyes.
Could you imagine Trump doing that to the US? He wouldn’t, because he wants to make America great again, whereas Labour is working to make the UK even grimmer.
If you wanted to sabotage an economy, what better way than making it dependent on foreign imports and unreliable renewables?
Double agent Miliband couldn’t think of one. Otherwise he’d be doing it.
Then there’s Rachel Reeves. If this was a James Bond movie, I’d be convinced she was secretly in the pay of Spectre.
How else could you explain her devious plot to cripple the UK? As Chancellor, she’s supposed to make the economy grow.
Instead she torpedoed UK confidence with talk of that £22billion black hole. Instantly, the economy flatlined. Then she gave us four months to sweat on her horror Budget, which turned out to be even worse than imagined.
It will destroy jobs, businesses and livelihoods. She might has well have parked a Tesla Cybertruck outside the London Stock Exchange.
Although I probably shouldn’t give her ideas.
The economy is now shrinking. We could be in recession by March. Nice work, Agent Reeves, as they say at Spectre headquarters.
Labour’s inheritance tax raid on family farms also threatens the nation’s food security. Any remaining productive land will be buried by Miliband’s army of solar farms.
That will leave us even more dependent on imported food too. It’s like a Bond villain’s crazy masterplan, except this one looks likely to work.”

“For most of the post-war period crime, alcoholism, drugs and pregnancy were all rising among the young. And then at some point it stopped. The generations now ageing disgracefully were disgraceful in youth, and in middle age. If they’re behaving badly now, there is really not much to be done about it. If they choose to frolic at toga parties, no one will stop them. Except, ultimately, time.”
Upcoming on C4…..Looks like it could be a preemptive strike methinks to divert attention and throw up a smokescreen for certain groups by selectively highlighting an unreliable “victim” amongst the thousands affected….while throwing the vast majority of the victims under a bus….
It’s my perception that C4 these days do little beyond hand out production contracts to favoured chums – what’s curious about the listings for this show (and siblings in the 3 part mini series) is that I don’t see any (expected) production credits – meaning, as far as I’m concerned that the commissioners / writers / producers want to seriously swerve any challenge to the narrative they’ve contrived.
While the subject matter should concern us, the method of delivery honks “propaganda from cowards” – indignation / outage even being fomented but just for prurient entertainment / political purpose. In all three cases , superficially one might question the competence of the investigators and the motives of the prosecutors / persecutors…
TWatO Watch #1 – The World at One is concerned, as was TOADY before it …
… that BBC presenters might be hit by higher taxes. Please correct me if I am wrong but I recall that early in Boris Johnson’s Premiership he had a solution for elderly adult care which was a progressive system of taxation increasing National Insurance for those on high salaries and those paying the least would be on Minimum Wage. Do I recall correctly that the Labour Party voted against along with the Scottish Nationalists and the Liberals.
It was called regressive at the time although I seem to recall that at BBC Presenter earning £350,000 p.a. such as Nick Robinson or Huw Edwards would pay much more than someone on Minimum Wage. That is a progressive system of taxation, not regressive. Now Labour claim they have a solution which will include a National Commission and ‘kick the can down the road’ a few more years.
I get the feeling that TTK wil assume he has public support when it comes to disagreement with president trump – whether it be north sea oil or Muslim rape gangs … I think his assumption will be very very wrong ….
I don’t think TTK cares one bit if he has public support. He thinks he is in power for the next few years and can railroad whatever he wants. All his lackies are as far-left as he is and we’ve seen what they do if the Right protest. They are all in prison.
We are living in a police state. We have only had a taste of what Starmer will do to eradicate the opposition. The only way he will ever give up power is if he is forcibly removed.
He is a Nazi fascist. I do wonder how far the BBC will go before they realise what a terrible mistake they have made.
“A TikTok influencer has sparked outrage in France after he appeared to post a message saying “we will shoot you” and “we will rape you” aimed at people protesting against the Algerian government.”
A very good point there Zephir is that good Muslim men in gangs raping those they detest (such as white girls wearing makeup and showing skin) is much, much more than simple rape.
And that Islamic attitude to those who do not live by their rules applies to everything. Not just young girls. Any of us could be treated with the same disgust because they view us as infidels. That is the motive for all these terrorist murders.
And that is why those who protect them utterly disgust me. They are prepared to turn a blind eye to all of it because their own anti-Right agenda is more important.
Yes JC, missing from the vast majority of the reports of the scum gangs is the racial abuse almost always accompanying the other horrors, as told by numerous victims, each and every incident is ALSO a racially aggravated crime.

A Blair-era attempt to fix this (eBorders) was abandoned in 2014. The British government is simply uninterested in the problem.
On a statistical level, there is even more confusion. The Office for National Statistics uses an incredibly dated methodology to estimate net immigration: standing at the airport asking random travellers if they plan to stay in the UK… The ONS write at length defending their methods, but underlying it is the assumption that people will reply accurately to a letter from the government asking them to list everyone living at an address. Which in modern Britain just isn’t plausible. Housing and immigration policy give many people in the UK a strong incentive to misrepresent their residency, in a way that can only be picked up on anecdotally, or when forced into the open by a freak event.’

How is ‘today ‘ today ? I really can’t listen any more – the same approved tune .. im guessing they’ll role Andrew dilnott out to rage at the latest scheme to avoid dealing with social ( elderly ) care .
The term ‘social care ‘ sounds so ‘clinical’ doesn’t it ? But if you said ‘elderly care ‘ people might notice a bit more and demand proper cover .
So there is to be another ‘inquiry ‘ and that won’t report until 2028 ? Just in time to be buried at the next election . Start again – inquiry – reports in 2032? Just in time for the 2034? Election ….

“Poor English contributed to woman’s stair lift death – inquest”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-67622479
“During the course of the inquest it transpired the two carers on duty were not native English speakers, one was Romanian and the other Indian.
One of the workers had not passed a Secure English Language Test, which is a requirement for a work visa, so was not qualified or permitted to work in the UK.”

Social care.
Savings over £23,000. No state payments
Savings under £23,000. Partial state payments.
Savings under £13,000. Full state payments.
These rates have not been changed in years, make that decades.
As usual, anyone with the temerity to have held down a decent job, and saved for their retirement, gets taken to the cleaners. The feckless meanwhile, those who choose not to work or save, or dare I mention illegal asylum seekers and legal immigrants who do not even speak English, get the lot. And it’s all dressed up as a ‘caring’ society, helping ‘those most in need’.
It’s disgusting. The socialist redistribution of wealth gone mad.

This morning’s left-leaning i news ‘weather’ report: ‘Stay inside’ warning as health agency warns of freezing snow
Wrong type of snow?
As opposed to some of that old-fashioned luke warm mild snow we used to get?
Mr AsI envisages a broader, less Soviet bolshevik, more akin to some NHS/BBC/Met Office version of our present theraputic State
Do not go out at night… or morning, NHS warns… warnings of a rise in deaths as temperatures drop below zero today (Telegraph) – but global warming is a bad thing, because…?
Remember how your old mum used to remind you not to venture out in January without your scarf and most importantly your winter vest on?
Thermal underwear is officially cool (Telegraph)
NHS and UK Health Security Agency urges people to… keep active and wear several layers of clothing (Telegraph) – nice to see multiple health agencies doubling up on the advice and in competition for our attention. We wouldn’t want to think there were a monopoly of official messaging. I’m guessing this stay at home advice comes from a public sector busy WFH on our behalf.
Blitz spirit
VE & VJ Day… 80 years on… Your country needs you… Call-out for WW2 vetreans to lead commemorations – enthuses the flagging Labour government-supporting Daily Mirror
Whereas: French-trained troops in Ukraine go Awol… About 1,700 soldiers from a unit equipped by the west and trained in France went absent without leave before even a shot was fired (Telegraph) – further comment from Mr AsI would seem superfluous.

With all these lone wolves out driving rental cars I wonder how long it will be before *rental cars* legally have to be fitted with kill switches and GPS. Here is what is already happening:
“Spoke to someone this week He has a fleet of about 50 in Texas. He told me that over the last 2 months, he repo 7 cars. While the person is driving, he honks the horn. Wait for them to pull over and he Killswitch the car.
When the guest calls up , he tells them he is dispatching a tow truck right away to fix the issue”
The kill switch could be automatically activated if the vehicle entered a geo-fenced area or used excessive speed in a built-up area. Never imagined in a month of Sundays I would be pushing this idea!
As an alternative the car could play Val Doonican songs if it detected foul-play.

When should journalists use the word ‘terrorism?’
Even when news organizations, like the BBC, use guidelines similar to the AP’s standard, they come under attack for not using the word “terrorist” when describing activities like the Hamas attacks in Israel. In reporting about the criticism, the BBC wrote, “Veteran BBC foreign correspondent John Simpson said, ‘calling someone a terrorist means you’re taking sides.”’ The article continued,
A BBC spokesperson said, “We always take our use of language very seriously. Anyone watching or listening to our coverage will hear the word ‘terrorist’ used many times – we attribute it to those who are using it, for example, the UK Government.”
Avoid phrases that might illicit admiration for the attacker such as “mastermind behind the attack” or calling an attack “sophisticated.”
I never felt an old guy in Qatar sending young druggies to Israel to kill babies and rape women were either.
Especially when karma catches up.

“Heartbroken mum’s vaccine plea after flu death”
Mum of twins sadly loses one (they were premature births at just 26 weeks): “‘I would encourage everyone to get their child vaccinated if possible and I’d like to see it made mandatory, as it could save a life,’ Ms Hughes said.”
The only other agencies carrying this story — Yahoo and the Irish Sun — make no mention of the mother calling for mandatory vaccines. Which rather suggests BBC editorial and/or UKHSA have inserted some propaganda and left out relevant medical details. (Also not on the BBC: mum reporting that they had problems with their lungs, their immune systems, and that the doctors don’t know why his heart stopped.)

“Victims who were preyed upon and raped by grooming gangs demand public inquiry – as Elon Musk pours more fuel on spat with Keir Starmer over scandal.
Sarah Wilson was groomed and raped by paedophiles in Rotherham for five years from the age of 11 – with one attack taking place in a school playground.
She wrote on X: ‘Jess Phillips needs to hang her head in shame!!! Anyone who denies an independent investigation has a lot to hide.’
Sammy Woodhouse was just 14 when she met her rapist, Arshid Hussain, who was jailed for 35 years in 2016. Hussain, known in Rotherham as Mad Ash, was reportedly contacted by the council about care proceedings.
She told LBC: ‘We have report, after report, after report telling us the same thing. We know what’s happening in this country because people like myself have been giving thousands of interviews to the mainstream media telling you about it.
‘What’s not happening is action – there’s not enough paedophiles being taken through the courts and when they are they’re walking free. There’s no professionals being held to account.'”

I am sure many on here would love to have the power to give certain sneaky politicians a well needed long overdue hefty kick up the jacksie, I know would.
Therefore if nothing else to see them flounder and rage under Musk’s very direct pull no punches comments feels bloody good to me!

“But, 12 months on, BBC News asked those most closely involved what has changed in Rotherham?”

“One of the things that has changed is that we do now recognise what grooming is.
“The important thing that has been changing in the past 12 months is that communities know that they have got a key part to play in making sure we identify those responsible
“We’re committed to doing everything we can to bring these people to justice and we are bringing people to justice.”

The inquiry team noted fears among council staff of being labelled “racist” if they focused on victims’ descriptions of the majority of abusers as “Asian” men.

An opinion piece, and I can’t disagree. But you’ll never hear it from the bbc mob feeling the weight of Starmers balls on their collective tongues:
“Labour has declared war on Britain – and it’s winning!
I’ve seen some bad governments in my time, but Keir Starmer’s Labour is on a different level. It seems to be on a mission to destroy the UK.
Britons are famously cynical about their politicians but most of us assume they’re broadly trying to do their best for the country.
Not this lot.
The only way I can sensibly explain Keir Starmer’s strategy is to assume Labour is working to destroy us. Then it all fits into place.
Take Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. His energy policy is like a death ray aimed at the UK economy.
For decades, Treasury coffers have been boosted by North Sea oil and gas revenues. Without them, we’d be even poorer than we already are.
So what does Miliband do?
Ban new oil and gas drilling. This will blow a hole in the UK’s bottom line, costing us billions and destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Any oil and gas companies daft enough to remain will be annihilated by windfall taxes. Donald Trump is watching and can’t believe his eyes.
Could you imagine Trump doing that to the US? He wouldn’t, because he wants to make America great again, whereas Labour is working to make the UK even grimmer.
If you wanted to sabotage an economy, what better way than making it dependent on foreign imports and unreliable renewables?
Double agent Miliband couldn’t think of one. Otherwise he’d be doing it.
Then there’s Rachel Reeves. If this was a James Bond movie, I’d be convinced she was secretly in the pay of Spectre.
How else could you explain her devious plot to cripple the UK? As Chancellor, she’s supposed to make the economy grow.
Instead she torpedoed UK confidence with talk of that £22billion black hole. Instantly, the economy flatlined. Then she gave us four months to sweat on her horror Budget, which turned out to be even worse than imagined.
It will destroy jobs, businesses and livelihoods. She might has well have parked a Tesla Cybertruck outside the London Stock Exchange.
Although I probably shouldn’t give her ideas.
The economy is now shrinking. We could be in recession by March. Nice work, Agent Reeves, as they say at Spectre headquarters.
Labour’s inheritance tax raid on family farms also threatens the nation’s food security. Any remaining productive land will be buried by Miliband’s army of solar farms.
That will leave us even more dependent on imported food too. It’s like a Bond villain’s crazy masterplan, except this one looks likely to work.”

The Economist Like a bbc piece, anti alcohol etc
“For most of the post-war period crime, alcoholism, drugs and pregnancy were all rising among the young. And then at some point it stopped. The generations now ageing disgracefully were disgraceful in youth, and in middle age. If they’re behaving badly now, there is really not much to be done about it. If they choose to frolic at toga parties, no one will stop them. Except, ultimately, time.”

Upcoming on C4…..Looks like it could be a preemptive strike methinks to divert attention and throw up a smokescreen for certain groups by selectively highlighting an unreliable “victim” amongst the thousands affected….while throwing the vast majority of the victims under a bus….

I wonder if they’ll now make a programme about this:

It’s my perception that C4 these days do little beyond hand out production contracts to favoured chums – what’s curious about the listings for this show (and siblings in the 3 part mini series) is that I don’t see any (expected) production credits – meaning, as far as I’m concerned that the commissioners / writers / producers want to seriously swerve any challenge to the narrative they’ve contrived.
While the subject matter should concern us, the method of delivery honks “propaganda from cowards” – indignation / outage even being fomented but just for prurient entertainment / political purpose. In all three cases , superficially one might question the competence of the investigators and the motives of the prosecutors / persecutors…

C4 themselves don’t expose any production credits that I’ve found but their “release pack” seems to have had info that several listings sites publish.

TWatO Watch #1 – The World at One is concerned, as was TOADY before it …
… that BBC presenters might be hit by higher taxes. Please correct me if I am wrong but I recall that early in Boris Johnson’s Premiership he had a solution for elderly adult care which was a progressive system of taxation increasing National Insurance for those on high salaries and those paying the least would be on Minimum Wage. Do I recall correctly that the Labour Party voted against along with the Scottish Nationalists and the Liberals.
It was called regressive at the time although I seem to recall that at BBC Presenter earning £350,000 p.a. such as Nick Robinson or Huw Edwards would pay much more than someone on Minimum Wage. That is a progressive system of taxation, not regressive. Now Labour claim they have a solution which will include a National Commission and ‘kick the can down the road’ a few more years.

I get the feeling that TTK wil assume he has public support when it comes to disagreement with president trump – whether it be north sea oil or Muslim rape gangs … I think his assumption will be very very wrong ….

I’m not sure about that Fed.
I don’t think TTK cares one bit if he has public support. He thinks he is in power for the next few years and can railroad whatever he wants. All his lackies are as far-left as he is and we’ve seen what they do if the Right protest. They are all in prison.
We are living in a police state. We have only had a taste of what Starmer will do to eradicate the opposition. The only way he will ever give up power is if he is forcibly removed.
He is a Nazi fascist. I do wonder how far the BBC will go before they realise what a terrible mistake they have made.

A very good point there Zephir is that good Muslim men in gangs raping those they detest (such as white girls wearing makeup and showing skin) is much, much more than simple rape.
And that Islamic attitude to those who do not live by their rules applies to everything. Not just young girls. Any of us could be treated with the same disgust because they view us as infidels. That is the motive for all these terrorist murders.
And that is why those who protect them utterly disgust me. They are prepared to turn a blind eye to all of it because their own anti-Right agenda is more important.
