    It’s not just an awkward Tice slip up then. Tice has since confirmed his contempt for TR and his supporters. Then yesterday Lee Andeson and Farage made sure we know that TR is loathsome to them. It seems to be official Reform policy. They must want to destroy themselves just as the Tories have done.

    Not just the biggest ever sex crime scandal the UK has ever seen, not just a national embarrassment, but an emerging international outrage, as said on Indian media here, “a global controversy”… from the USA to India, the outrage mounts:

      From my own experience from 1980-2000 living in a Staffordshire town that has not featured in the news I was aware of this shit then and believe it existed in every town in the UK with a particular Asian population sector. So it’s not just the named towns it is a nationwide issue involving probably thousands and thousands of Asian males.

      That’s why it needs a national enquiry!

    Always intrigued by ‘demands’ as a method of inspiring positive reaction.

    Well, we are nearly here.
    After three days of the BBC forecasting death, famine, pestilence, and the end of the world, there appears to be snow on the way for northern England.

    We used to have a word for this. Winter!

    But the Far Left cannot resist any and every opportunity to control us. So let’s lock our doors, turn the fossil fuel heating off, cuddle under some blankets, await the apocalypse and be thankful that our caring sharing Labour government is there to protect us. And let us remember that the absolutely last thing the BBC want after the 1987 gales, yes even to this day, is to fail to forecast bad weather, and to act all innocent when it fails to happen, which seems to be most of the time.

    Here we go then, this is the start…..

    “Starmer is accused of snubbing whistleblower who helped expose Rotherham grooming gangs scandal in ‘shocking’ and ‘dismissive’ move – as PM faces fresh backlash over fiasco.

    The Prime Minster had been asked to meet with Jayne Senior, a youth services manager who played a major role in uncovering the rape gangs in the town.

    When Sir Keir was the leader of the opposition in 2020, he was urged to meet with Ms Senior, who was a Labor councillor at the time.

    There were also calls for him to launch an inquiry into Labour councillors accused of launching a campaign to ‘undermine her and damage her reputation’ in a bid to divert attention away from their ‘failure to protect children’.

    However, his office declined both the meeting and calls for the inquiry with Ms Senior telling the Telegraph that the response she received was ‘shocking’ and ‘dismissive’.

    In the letter, Ms Halford-Hall said Ms Senior ‘exposed the industrial scale abuse’ but became the ‘target of retaliation which regrettably emanates from the Labour Party’ describing it as a ‘hate campaign’.

    Despite her calls for an investigation into the treatment of Ms Senior to be opened, Sir Keir’s office said it was not relevant to his role as leader of the party.

    Ms Senior resigned as a Labour councillor the following year saying that she had been ‘the subject of ceaseless harassment and intimidation’.”

      Lucy, thanks for that link. Those named all have legal options and one guesses that they have not taken the legal route on the grounds that they know that they do not come before the law with clean hands. On that basis we must assume that there is some substance to the allegations and it would be inappropriate to investigate locally given the alleged links between the politicians, council officers, the police and others.
      Even if only a fraction of the allegations are proved, It is unacceptable in the United Kingdom and the Labour Party need to do the’right thing’ as politicians say.

    For years, I took little interest in the Pakistani rape gang scandal.
    I suspected that a few far-right rabble rousers were exaggerating the story for their own political ends.
    In fact, as we can now see, the abuse took place on an industrial scale
    – and in many cases the authorities turned a blind eye to it.
    The scandal has been blown wide open (in no small measure thanks to this platform), and that’s a good thing.

    Even by Oldham’s standards, what took place at the full Council meeting on Wednesday 18th December is a new low. Members of the Labour Party run council called in the police to shut down democratically elected opposition councillors in a desperate attempt to silence the truth.

    First they arrested and jailed citizens for sharing their opinions online. Now they are threatening to jail our elected representatives for daring to speak out on our behalf.

      And that it is on X where they still infest, seemingly to ‘deal’ with wrongthink they seek to overturn.

      And that when they have not even a tarp shrouded army lorry back as cover, their ‘defence’ errs on the less than convincing.

    Kenneth Williams played the character Dr Kenneth Tinkle in the 1967 British comedy Carry On Doctor.

    Matron (played by Hattie Jacques): Once a week is enough for any man.

    Dr. Tinkle : [examining Mr Bigger’s back] Slight bruising, certainly. No bleeding, good.
    Francis Bigger (played by Frankie Howerd): Just like the service in here.

    The recent general election campaign provided voters with some hints that Labour might institute some form of NHS reform – aside from opening the cash spigot to the overflow setting.

    Labour Party health policy: How we will build an NHS fit for the future… Labour has saved the NHS before, and the next Labour government will do so again. With Labour, the NHS will always be publicly owned and publicly funded. But our ambition goes beyond returning the NHS to what it was. Our mission is to build an NHS fit for the future. Investment alone won’t be enough; it must go hand in hand with fundamental reform. (Labour, June 2024)

    Even our BBC, being institutionally rather partial toward the public sector, voiced some qualms…

    Labour manifesto 2024: 12 key policies analysed… 40,000 more NHS appointments and operations… To make the improvements being proposed, some say even more money needs to go in or there will have to be trade-offs elsewhere in health. The Nuffield Trust think tank said not spelling this out represented a “stunning lack of detail”. (BBC, June 2024)

    Of course our late, unlamented, limp-wristed Tory-branded administration were terrified of the notion of even attempting NHS reform. Now Labour are ideologically unwilling to reform it; apart from some cosmetic tinkering and palliative cash injections to soothe the tax bleeding payroll vote.

    Call for Dr Tinkerer

    Patients must get choice of 5 hospitals… according to Wes Streeting… who has vowed to end “like it or lump it” NHS culture (Sunday Times)

    Streeting rids NHS of ‘pointless’ check-ups… vowed to scrap more than a million “pointless” NHS hospital appointments as he seeks to cut waiting lists… smart watches and wearable tech… (Sunday Telegraph)

    Meanwhile our BBC is full of advice in this winter weather – presumably aimed at people who have never witnessed any winter weather before…

    How to keep warm when budgets are squeezed (BBC) – Getty Images provides a pic of a youngish-looking east asian woman on her sofa wrapped in a rug – presumably perfectly indicative of the issue at hand for elderly British people.

    How to keep babies warm during cold weather and other winter tips (BBC)

    The good advice just keeps coming…

    How to drive in snow and icy weather (BBC)

    How to look after dogs and cats in cold weather (BBC)

    I’m put in mind of that irreverent cartoon strip comic Viz and their humorous advice column feature alongside adverts such as: Is your house on fire? Call the fire brigade on 999

    Cuture Wars, or Welsh news from the BBC – what I like to term: What’s Occurring?

    Our culture isn’t fantasy – so stop misusing it for mystical books… A surge in popularity for fantasy sub-genres has led to concerns about under-researched Welsh inspirations… with character names including Rhysand, Gwyneth, Alis and Morrigan, it seems American author Sarah J Maas drew inspiration far from home… But while some applaud the spread of Welsh culture and language, others fear its misuse could have a detrimental impact. (Catriona Aitken, BBC) – Isn’t it!

    The Traitors: Is a Welsh accent really more trustworthy? This article includes some discussion of the first episode of The Traitors, but does not contain major spoilers such as who the new traitors are or who gets murdered or banished. (BBC) – Phew, I was worried this vital report might give the game away.

    Credit where credit is due

    The often misfiring left-leaning cartoonist Newman in the Times hits a bullseye this morning. He sketches a British army officer clutching a paper with the headline Defence Budget Crisis confronted with a soldier brandishing what professional darts fans term “an arrow”: “Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler has sent us a ground to air missile, sir!”

    And finally, at the foot of the cover page of the Sunday Times, in the prime advertising spot, Royal Bank of Canada promotes their Asset Management, Capital Markets and Weath Management business with the ad slogan: Ideas Happen Here – illustrated for us with a picture of a determined-looking black woman, her gaze turned to the future – could this be suggestive of Tory leader Kemi Badenoch – or the woman herself perchance?

    One can’t tell at first glance because the black woman in the RBC advert has her mouth firmly closed – so we can’t check for that distinctive gappy tooth.

    On reflection the ad copy: Ideas Happen Here tells us this can’t be our Kemi – simply some random, rather over-worked, ad agency model.

    Spiked says…

    ‘Fury over Britain’s grooming-gangs scandal seems to have finally reached boiling point. ‘

    Not at the BBC which is doing its best to ignore and downplay the issue…and divert attention by attacking….Musk.

    This from the BBC says it all…

    ‘Home Office minister Jess Phillips rejected Oldham Council’s request for a government-led inquiry into historical child sexual exploitation – saying the council should lead it instead.

    Her decision, taken in October, was reported by GB News on Wednesday and then picked up by Elon Musk on his social media platform X, and several senior Tories. ‘

    So…reported by GB News, not the BBC, and then ignored until Musk commented…..and the BBC’s reaction?….

    One report…

    ‘Musk ‘misinformed’ on grooming gangs, says Streeting’

    Second report….

    ‘Farage defends Musk after grooming gangs posts’

    Think you can see the messaging from the BBC….nothing to see here…Musk is wrong and his comments need to be ‘defended’.

    But if it hadn’t been for Musk the issue would not have been forced into the open and Labour and the BBC itself made to address it even if in a negative fashion.

    No small irony that at the same time the BBC was chastising Musk for highlighting the rape and abuse of thousands, that’s thousands, of young white girls by Muslim men on an industrial scale, the BBC gives this frontpage priority…

    ”A man exposed himself to me on a video call – police didn’t properly investigate”
    ‘Rebecca is one of a number of victims of obscene calls and indecent exposure by strangers, who have told BBC News that police are failing to carry out proper investigations and dismissing their experiences.

    The women contacted the BBC following a report highlighting failures by two forces when dealing with reports of malicious, sexualised phone calls.

    Some victims of “non-contact sexual offences” – crimes that do not involve physical contact between perpetrator and victim – say they, like Rebecca, have been left feeling violated.’

    Yep, sure, a man waving his willy at you down the phone must be unpleasant but hardly on the scale of mass rape, abuse, beating and feeding of drugs and booze to young girls to make them more pliant is it?

    The sex-abuse cover-up continues….as Spiked says…

    ‘The shameful treatment of England’s grooming-gang crisis really does deserve this global outrage. The mass rape of mostly white, working-class, underaged girls by groups of primarily Pakistani-heritage men has been largely swept under the rug by our own establishment. ‘

    Both the BBC and Starmer were late to the party, did a bit, and then scurried away hoping it would all fade into history and be forgotten….and if you’re the wrong person, such as Tommy Robinson or Elon Musk, you’d better keep quiet because they won’t come for the grooming gangs but they’ll come for you.

    The BBC are up in arms about Elon Musk’s comments regarding Starmer being “complicit in the rape of British children”. Well, Sir Keir was the head of the CPS for years and there weren’t many prosecutions…

    They’re also pi55ed off about Musk’s (justified) attack on the utterly ghastly Jess Philips. He called her “A rape apologist. A wicked witch.” Well, let’s look at the evidence, shall we?

    Back in 2015/16 when all those recent immigrants to Germany assaulted and mass raped untold German women (thanks to old ma Markel allowing a million in) Jess Phillips compared this horror to “An average night out in Birmingham”. Really? Are you sure, you dopey. xxxxx?

    She’s now blocking a fresh investigation into Pakistani paedo activities across Britain. All we’re told by Labour and the BBC…same thing really…is that “Jess is a feminist and has done so much good for women” They really want to brush this back under the carpet.

    Repeat the mantra, Jess stands up for abused women.

    Unless those “women” are little white girls being raped by Muslim men…

    Trying not to deflect from Oldham.

    EXCLUSIVE
    Revealed: Under-fire Treasury Minister lied about £700,000 flat gift TWO YEARS ago as she faces calls to quit amid bribery.

    Anti-corruption minister Tulip Siddiq was under pressure to quit last night after it emerged she had lied about receiving a London flat as a gift.

    She has denied it was a gift, instead insisting that her parents had bought it for her. She also threatened the MoS with legal action.

    Now, however, Labour sources have confirmed that the King’s Cross flat was indeed given to her by the developer as an ‘act of gratitude’.

    Ms Siddiq, 42, whose role is to stamp out corruption in Britain’s financial sector, is under investigation in her native Bangladesh, where she and four family members are accused of embezzling £3.9 billion from a nuclear power plant.

    Last night, Tory MPs demanded she stands down as Treasury minister unless she explains herself.

    The Mail on Sunday has repeatedly asked Ms Siddiq if she was given the two-bedroom apartment, now worth £700,000, previously owned by a property developer connected to her Bangladeshi dictator aunt.

    Bob Blackman, the Tory MP for Harrow East, said: ‘Ms Siddiq needs to clarify the position in relation to her property dealings and explain what was stated originally and why. If she does not, her position as a minister is untenable.’

    Matt Vickers MP, Shadow Home Office minister, added: ‘Allegations of this nature against any member of government are unacceptable, but are even more questionable when the minister is Starmer’s anti-corruption minister.’

    Labour sources last night told the MoS that in 2022, when we first made enquiries, Ms Siddiq was told by her family that the flat was bought from a house sale. But apparently the family’s recollections changed last week.

    A Labour insider yesterday told the Financial Times: ‘Following financial support provided by Tulip’s parents to an acquaintance during a challenging time in his life, he subsequently transferred a property he owned into Tulip’s ownership as an act of gratitude for her parents’ support.’

    Immediately after the FT published its story, Labour sources contacted the MoS to reiterate they did not ‘deliberately mislead’ us three years ago.

    Ms Siddiq declined to comment, but a source close to her said: ‘Tulip’s previous understanding of how she gained ownership of the property has changed

      The Committee’s aim throughout has been to establish whether the rules of the House have been complied with, not to investigate Mr Vaz’s private life or to pass judgement on issues of sexual morality.

      The Committee concludes that:

      Mr Vaz’s explanation of the incident on 27 August 2016 is not believable and, indeed, ludicrous;
      on this occasion Mr Vaz expressed a willingness to procure a Class A drug, cocaine, for the use of another person;
      on this occasion Mr Vaz engaged in paid-for sex.

    I think it was BNP’s Nick Griffin that publicly started exposing this “grooming” issue, from Asians, over 20 years ago.
    Naturally the BBC were appalled and decided to investigate.

    Investigate Griffin… and sent an uncover reporter to secretly record him, releasing a documentary BBC documentary “The Secret Agent” (2004) and getting him charged with stirring up racial hatred , eventually leading to his bankruptcy.

    That’s when I went from disliking the BBC to hating them.

      For me it was the migrant throwing a woman and child on a train track for sympathy – the BBC reported that guards were heavy handed.

      Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s | BBC story
      “… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not reported by Gaving Hewitt @ BBC {youtube fullvideo}) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”

      You’re absolutely correct, Eddy.

      The BBC, via Panorama, went “underground” and filmed NG giving a talk in a pub where he mentioned the Pakistani “grooming gangs”. Now, at the time, there had been nothing in the media about this vile activity and I must confess I found his claims farfetched. If only I had known…

      The BBC passed their findings onto the West Yorkshire police, who twice took Griffin and an associate to court…on a charge of “aggravated racism”… or some such nonsense. Fortunately, they were found not guilty, otherwise they could have faced up to seven years in prison.

      Of course, the irony is that it was the West Yorkshire Police that were in cahoots with these Pakistani gangs…and probably still are. It’s like an awful conspiracy film, but it gets even worse…

      Fast forward a decade and Panorama are back in the same small towns in Yorkshire, with the same team and the same producer, this time investigating the West Yorkshire Police and their failures to arrest the grooming gangs. It’s beyond parody.

      So, the BBC were in these rape areas twenty odd years ago. They had journalists on the ground. They must have had information that would have pointed the finger at child rapists. With their access to the media, they could have exposed all of this. I find it impossible that they weren’t aware of what was really going on. But they were so intent on nailing Griffin, they turned a blind eye.

      Twenty years ago it was Griffin.

      Today it’s Tommy…

    BBC Radio 4 News @ 0900. Their reporter from ‘oop North’, tells us of the serious amounts of snow. “It (the snow) is settling”; “I have just seen a snow plough stuck for a minute”.

    If you are attuned to the BBC bullshit reporting.

    The astute will recognise some anomalies in the above phrases.
    Clue: Snow ploughs are normally ordinary 4/6 wheeled lorries with a blade attached to the front.

    The Police effectively suppressed a report in 2002 because some senior officers disbelieved the data it contained. Two other reports, which set out the links between child sexual exploitation and drugs, guns and criminality in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham were ignored and no action was taken to deal with the issues that were identified in them.

    “The car was located far from the line of contact.”

    ‘Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the incident “deliberate murder”.’

    The BBC subtely hinting he was a legitimate target as:

    ‘The EU blocked Russian outlets – including Izvestia and RIA – in May, accusing them of enabling the “spread and support the Russian propaganda and war of aggression against Ukraine”.’

    Of course the article has to include the line- Russia’s full-scale invasion

    Looks like she stayed with her abuser for around 35 years…some strong icon.

    “Over the next four years and 180,000 miles, the video diaries she shared of her adventures, while detailing decades of pain, earned her millions of cheerleaders online. ”

      GOT TO LOVE CHINA! STARMER AND HUNT DOES!

      “In mid-May, Chinese stand-up comic Li Haoshi, better known by his stage name House, cracked a joke about his adopted dogs.

      Standing on a stage in a packed venue in Beijing, he said his dogs “fought to win, forged exemplary conduct” – a catchphrase that Chinese leader Xi Jinping has used while speaking about the military.

      It drew laughs from the audience, but one of them later commented on Weibo, or China’s version of Twitter, that it made him uncomfortable because it insulted the “people’s army”. State media and officials swiftly condemned it as a “serious insult” to the Chinese army. Li was detained, and the company he worked for – Xiaoguo, one of the most successful stand-up comedy groups in China – was fined nearly 15 million yuan ($2.1m; £1.7m).

    The second scandal was the wilful ignorance at the time by multiple authorities and the media, in particular the BBC.
    The third scandal is the present refusal of the government to launch an Inquiry.

    Is the BBC reporting or channelling government propaganda?

    The Treasury has admitted that funds raised by the VAT raid on private schools will not be ring-fenced for use in state schools…

    ‘The money is not directly hypothecated in the same way other taxes are. The physical pounds and pence are not directly ringfenced [for state schools]… It’s not physically funnelled from ‘A’ to ‘B’ but in value terms the principal is still there.’

    However the BBC somehow missed that and continues to report….

    ‘VAT is now being added to private school fees after new rules came into force on 1 January.

    The government plans to spend the money raised on more teachers for state schools in England.

    Chancellor Rachel Reeves said “every single penny” will go to state schools.

    Labour has repeatedly pledged to use the money to recruit 6,500 new teachers for state schools in England.’

    Given Labour makes so much noise claiming this will fund state schools might be an important issue that the money raised may not actually go to state schools at all….and which might indicate it was an ideological, anti-private school move to begin with.

      The Prime Minister spoke to President-elect Donald Trump this afternoon from Downing Street.

      The Prime Minister began by congratulating President-elect Trump on his recent team appointments and President-elect Trump warmly recounted his meeting with His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales in Paris earlier this month.

      Both agreed on their joint ambition to strengthen the close and historic relationship between the UK and the US. They looked forward to working together on shared priorities, including international security and delivering economic growth and prosperity.

      Turning to global conflicts, the Prime Minister reiterated the need for allies to stand together with Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression and to ensure Ukraine is in the strongest possible position.

      On the Middle East, the Prime Minister underscored the need to work together to ensure peace and security in the region.

      They agreed to keep in touch and looked forward to seeing one another at the earliest opportunity.
