Grooming gangs – the leftwing establishment double down – Keir Starmer, Jess Phillips and the media
I’m just checking if anyone in the last thread mentioned Rory Stewart’s disinformation.
Lee Anderson savage David Lammy with brutal two-word nickname.
Reform UK held their North West England Conference in Chester on Saturday, where the Ashfield MP hit out.
Reform UK MP Lee Anderson lambasted Labour frontbenchers during a press conference held on Saturday. During the event, the Ashfield MP issued brutal nicknames for each cabinet minister, branding Foreign Secretary David Lammy as the “village idiot”.
Mr Anderson said: “We’ve got over 6000 villages in the UK.
“If you took the village idiot from every village and put them all into Tottenham, David Lammy would still be the village idiot.”
“If you talk about it people might get hurt…..”
“Left-leaning outlets like the BBC and Channel 4 ignored or minimized the scandal, while some journalists outright denied its existence.”

and then have another Woke supremacist bubbleworld item as well.
Oh we can watch it

A quick reminder. The Cosmopolitan magazine estimated 40,000 drag queens in the country.
Even assuming they are all over the age of 17 that is less than 0.1% of their addressable population.
So not exactly ‘under-represented’ on the BBC, are they?

Bbc blindly recites a press release by TTK about AI . It uses the word ‘turbo charging ‘ for the use of AI in the public sector .
Such a story is just a filler – just a distractor – from real problems like the cost of borrowing or paki rape gangs . It won’t work – thankfully – because the AI thing is just another excuse for a quango or three …

It will be interesting to see how we deal with them as they now insist on starting their latest protest next to a synagogue in London and have refused to move it after requests from police.

Palestine Solidarity Campaign rejects police request, as dozens of British lawmakers warn ‘that many Jewish families have been intimidated’ by the weekly marches.
On Thursday, nine days ahead of the march, London’s Metropolitan Police issued a statement saying it would use its powers to “prevent the Palestine Solidarity Campaign forming up in the vicinity of a synagogue ahead of its planned protest.” The statement said the decision had been made prior to the lawmakers’ letter.
But the Palestine Solidarity Campaign said in its own statement that it rejects the police order”

Our Justin interviews someone from the Getty Museum as the fire gets closer . It’s ok – the museum was designed to withstand fire – no problem .

…. The view in a video here in the last thread suggested the Marxists running California wanted this fire – in order to take the land into state ownership – ensuring insurance companies refused to cover homes for fire – reducing water supply – making forests prone to fire …. It sounds as evil as can be – but as we see the Marxist playbook is just evil ….
The DT today reports that presidenr Trump has hired a British soldier as one of his bodyguards . I wonder how the democrat infected Secret Service will treat that ?

Have the BBC asked the 1400 raped kids what they think?
Well, here it is in black and white:
“I know the sickening reasons Labour wanted to cover up the rape gang scandals. What I was told when I was Rochdale MP is utterly shocking… and now I’m exposing those politicians”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-14276369/Labour-rape-scandal-Rochdale-SIMON-DANCZUK.html
Some apposite quotes from this article below:
“Even today, more than a decade after the rape gang scandal first exploded, I still struggle to read the court transcripts from the trials of the perpetrators. The cruelty of the criminals is too depraved, the suffering of their victims too traumatic.”
“I will never forget a briefing I received from one of the directors at Rochdale Town Hall in 2012 during the trial of nine gang members. When I asked the director what further steps the council would take to crack down on the exploitation of working-class girls by these predatory groups, the director said to me: ‘This is a new phenomenon and we haven’t had guidance yet from the Home Office.'”
“At one point Jim Dobbin, the veteran MP for the neighbouring seat of Heywood and Middleton, took me to one side and told me not to make any link between the abuse of girls and the local Asian Muslim community because that would undermine Labour’s election prospects.”
“A more aggressive stance was taken by Tony Lloyd, who represented a Manchester seat and was chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party.
He made strong objections whenever I highlighted the predatory conduct of the British Asian rapists. ‘Keep religion and race out of it. You’ll lose us votes,’ he said, a disgraceful comment which showed that the rights of the victims mattered less to him than the votes of local Muslims.”
“Later, when Tony became Police Commissioner for Greater Manchester, I attacked him in print over his dismal performance on grooming gangs. He rang me and said that if I ever repeated such comments, he would ‘bounce me all the way from Rochdale to Westminster’.”
” In the rape gang scandal, the worst racism came from the perpetrators, who treated their targets like dirt because of the colour of their skin. One victim recalled that her attacker told her that he raped her ‘because she was sinful and a non-believer. He said that he would not have done it if I had been a Muslim’.”
“These are, in the words of one commentator with impeccable Left-wing credentials, ‘the always complaining and wretched classes’ kept in their beer-swilling indolence by ‘taxpaying migrants’.”
https://x.com/ImMeme0/status/1875939747706937693
What is truly perplexing is that the British government didn’t take this horrific issue seriously, and we are only now discussing it on a national stage.
In 2018, Lord Pearson raised a question in the House of Lords about grooming gangs: “We’re looking at millions of rapes of white and Sikh girls by Muslim men, only 222 of whom have been convicted since 2005. Can we talk about Islam without being accused of hate crime?”
On order-order.com there have been 5 reports why do we need more?
5 reports!
…. “The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”.”

PM plans to ‘unleash AI’ across UK to boost growth
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crr05jykzkxo
No mention of the job losses, just its the best thing since sliced bread
It’s a pity that labour can’t employ conventional intelligence to Government.
I’ve heard people in the media talking about the “Right of British Citizens” to free speech. We are now finding free speech not as free as we might have thought.
It has occurred to me to ask this: What Law or Laws explicitly state we are entitled to free speech? In addition, Scotland has its own legal system, does the same apply there?
In the UK, Article 10 of the 1998 Human Rights Act protects our right to freedom of expression: Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.
The Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023 (‘the Act’) was passed in May 2023 but is not yet in force. The Act imposes new free speech duties on universities (and also constituent colleges and students’ unions). It builds upon the existing duties set out in section 43 of the Education (No. 2) Act 1986.
Thanks for that, I didn’t know it was specifically there.
I always thought that the Magna Carta might have guaranteed free speech but was subject to interference with later legislation.
Some time ago I saw a TV program which highlighted how seriously the provisions of the Magna Cara were taken in the USA. They even have a old (original) copy of it and their constitution features many of its rights. We seem to have had successive Governments who sought to weaken these rights.
Magna Carta, apart from saying the King and his government were not above the law was a lot about taxation and the feudal system and only applied to around half the population.
The Magna Carta also guaranteed the rights of women and children who inherited property, and it stated that people could not be punished for crimes unless they were lawfully convicted.
The rules, or clauses, it brought in only applied to less that half of the population at the time.
It also included rules for how justice would be dealt out across England, fishing rights, church rights and rules against false imprisonment.
King John did not want to honour the Magna Carta, so wrote to Pope Innocent III. Indeed, he annulled the document and declared it illegal. Advisers to the young Henry III in 1216 (who is only nine years old) almost immediately reissue the Magna Carta in his name, in November. (The document is reissued again with some alterations in 1217 and 1225.)
And out of the 63 rules included, only 4 are still part of the law today:
Only four of the 63 clauses in Magna Carta are still valid today – 1 (part), 13, 39 and 40. Of enduring importance to people appealing to the charter over the last 800 years are the famous clauses 39 and 40:
“No free man shall be seized, imprisoned, dispossessed, outlawed, exiled or ruined in any way, nor in any way proceeded against, except by the lawful judgement of his peers and the law of the land.
“To no one will we sell, to no one will we deny or delay right or justice.”
These clauses remain law today, and provided the basis for important principles in English law developed in the fourteenth through to the seventeenth century, and which were exported to America and other English-speaking countries. Their phrasing, ‘to no one’ and ‘no free man’ gave these provisions a universal quality that is still applicable today in a way that many of the clauses relating specifically to feudal custom are not.
America’s forefathers used the Magna Carta as a foundation for the creation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In fact, the term ‘burden of proof’ used in US courts today is taken from the original document.
Every little counts… excellent news:
“When Labour announced in December that Peter Mandelson would be our next US ambassador, they said he would take up the position ‘early next year’.
Not early enough to merit an invitation to Donald Trump’s inauguration, however.
While Nigel Farage will have a prime seat at Trump’s swearing in as 47th president next Monday, it turns out there will be no room for Lord Mandelson.
His predecessor Karen Pierce will fly the flag for Britain instead.
Mandelson has important bridges to build with Team Trump.
The Donald’s team filed a legal complaint after 100 Labour Party members flew to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris in the election.”
Three murder charges over boy’s bus station death
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp9x5jjngxeo
Ahmed Adam, 18, of Mardale Close, Kempston, and two boys aged 16 and 17, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have been charged with his murder
White boy murdered by Ahmed Adam – surely bbc this is a racist murder.. no the victim is white, so nothing to see here
Yes, the assailants were reported as “black”, probably never mentioned by the racist bbc.
Is this one’s mother going to become a baroness and endless annual memorials and the hounding of the assailants for the rest of their natural lives ?
They conveniently forget about the murder of Stephen Laurence the headmaster.
The murderer could not be deported back to Italy because of his ‘uman rights. This ignoring any human rights of Mrs Laurence.
I notice Labour mission creep on BBC funding. It’s been floated (like a turd) that the BBC might be funded by some sort of taxation instead of a licence. Most probably an addition to Council Tax.
I suspect most on here are completely against the idea. We are beginning to see an anti BBC movement with people refusing to buy a licence for anti British pro Marxist content.
I guess Labour are rewarding the BBC for their support.
I’ve just spent five minutes looking into the sales of TV Licenses and it’s cheered me up. Over 75% of the BBC’s income comes from the 20 odd million TV Licence sold pa.
The BBC’s income from License sales has remained static for the ten years up 2023 , so when adjusted for inflation it dropped by around 20% despite increasing the cost of a License.
The BBC’s own estimate is that well over 10% of those who ought to have a license don’t have one. They call these people ‘avoiders’ , yes folks thats us they are talking about.( as far as I can tell they classify anyone who has a TV set but not a License as an ‘avoider’ even if they never watch live tv)
In recent years that % has grown rapidly , in 2023 alone over half a million licenses fewer were sold. It’s unclear how many of those cancellations were by ‘avoiders’ or on behalf of those who died or had left the country, or simply by people who just didn’t take out a License for the first time. But the trend is clear and accelerating. The BBC is losing its client base and principal income stream.
So even with a growing population , thanks largely to the mass immigration that they have done so much to bring about , the BBC is selling fewer and fewer licenses.
The very real and very big black hole in the BBC pension fund is a massive additional burden but there is no mention of that ticking time bomb.
The only option is to run to the government for a hand out and get the tax payer to foot the bill for a ‘service’ which they are increasingly turning away from. Of course Labour will be sympathetic and ensure the ongoing funding of their propaganda arm but in doing so will further increase their unpopularity amongst voters.
bbc moans the potential loss of a very expensive iPhone..

Calum Watson on board Glen Sannox
During the choppy crossing, a BBC iPhone that was recording the journey was feared lost overboard.
Fortunately it dropped into a lifeboat and the device has been recovered.”
Maybe as Calum was negligent and admitted this, he needs a talking to by the bbc HR department

“Foreign rapist, 41, who claimed he did not know it was wrong to have sex with a sleeping woman cannot be deported from the UK… because he’s bisexual.
The man, 41, would be targeted by violent gangs due to his sexuality if he was returned to Jamaica, where he is originally from, the tribunal was told.
He was sentenced to seven years in jail in 2018 for the sex attack – which happened at a party – but released in 2021 after serving half of his sentence, before being handed a deportation order.
The Home Office called him a ‘danger to the community’ and said he should be sent back to his native country under the 2002 Asylum Act, The Sun first reported.
The decision was challenged by the man, who was granted anonymity for his own protection. ”

Former security minister Sir John Hayes said: ‘This is an insult to every victim.
‘This man should be thrown out of the country.’
The Home Office said: ‘We made the case to deport this individual and lost in the courts.’
I wonder which lefty scumbag lawyer or lefty ngo told him that if he says he’s bisexual all deportation brakes go on, would be interesting to find out how many times their clients have used this tactic.

It appears Starmer is going to turbo-charge the UK by investing in AI…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/crm7zwp18n9t
I work daily in computer software development which is effectively what AI is and I consider the AI clammering to be more or less the kings new clothes. AI can speed up a few search processes with some marginal results but it is not and in my opinion can never be a viable productive economic force in its own right. Your household appliances are probably the most up to date embodiments of AI right now.
Starmer has obviously cast around his staff for some positive ideas to balance against the appalling events his government have ushered in.
This just comes across as desperation from a man who is lost….
Hello Digg
I thought the same as you re the desperation and trying to put a spin on this… but no mention of the job losses
Hi Andy…..I had the biggest laugh when I read that as a for instance, AI can be linked to CCTV cameras to keep an eye out for potholes….. (No doubt while checking ULEZ status of passing vehicles at the same time!). The problem with potholes is nothing to do with finding them, we can all find them… it’s bloody fixing them!
Not to mention that to make the mad-cap pothole thing viable you would need first to install cameras looking at every inch of Britains road network including thousands of miles of remote country lanes plus every suburban back-street….plus an army of observers double-checking the footage…what a joke!
I don’t recall seeing such a woolly minded, desperate PR deflection push from any government in a very long time!
‘It’s b***** fixing them’.
Again and again. Near where I live the council do the shoddiest cheap job imaginable, filling the pothole with cheap, soft tarmac, a totally different material from the surrounding carriageway. Less hard, unbound to the substrate and with different thermal expansion characteristics ( getting a bit technical there), the tarmac pops out within months and hey presto, we are back to square one,
A total waste of taxpayers money, so no change there, but hey, the green zealots will be happy. Don’t want to ‘encourage car use’ do we?
Rather than councils about to use AI they actually use CS (Council Stupidity).
If there is a dangerous pothole, especially one causing an accident, I report it via the excellent website fixmystreet. You can identify where it is via dropping a pin on the map and even upload photos.
One accident I saw where a lady in a wheelchair had driven over a pothole and gone over bashing her head. The ambulance took 3 hours to arrive.
Many councils do not even look at fixmystreet. That is what I call CS – council stupidity.
Atlas
Interesting.
I have used FixMy Street and the response is invariably of the form ‘we have passed your comments to the appropriate council department’ and then they close the issue of the FMS system!!!!! In my book it should only be closed when actual action has been taken and the issue concluded.
Sluff
You are completely right about this.
There is still one advantage left. If someone else gets injured or their vehicle damaged as a result of the councils failure to fix or properly repair the defect, then the new victim can discover these prior disclosures and sue the council who can not claim that they did not know.
All users on FMS can zoom into a small area and see all prior issues recorded including ‘closed’ ones.
Councils have a duty of care which means they will weasel their way out of anything that they can.
Reduce 650 MPs to 1?

Digg the UK is signed up to the full Davos treatment. Starmer (like Sunak was before him) is pinning the UK’s industrial hopes on tech they don’t understand, including transforming the NHS through life sciences.

A teensy weensy problem. Where will all the power come from to drive the ginormous data centres need for fast processing? The poor tax payers will have to be on candles for 90% of the day.

Next, in the spirit of things can be whatever anyone wants them to be, my woodburner now identifies as a Menorah.
Digg, at the start of the month he turned to the government regulators to increase economic activity. A completely irrelevant action which will deliver nothing. He knows his goose is cooked.
I now read that the young bloke who suggested the AI idea to TTK has been rapidly moved into no 10. This is so how not to build a viable long-term effective plan… done totally knee-jerk probably because he sees it either as a genius stroke or last chance saloon!

On BBC news last night.
Coverage of the LA fires.
A woman is interviewed. The BBC clearly want us to feel sorry for her.
Her home has burned down. She has lost everything.
She is black and…….…she had no house insurance.
Yet another not exactly random piece of BBC reportage.
The bloody bbc are as bad as the Ku Klux Klan or a bunch of rednecks in a pick up truck when it comes to hunting down black people to interview.
As I write we are about a week away from the inauguration of The True President – if the Obama crew don’t kill him first .. but im wondering what BBC coverage – if any – there will be ?
I suppose for the BBC it is a question of who does the best sneer ? Is it orla or Clive or Huw ( sorry Huw ) …. Will the coverage be a two minute 5th item after something about a TTK 5 year turbo charged plan ?
Btw – X seems to have realised TTK has not been invited . No one from the Marxist regime should be – and mandelson will have to gatecrash … maybe the BBC will have him as a guest…
Btw – I’ve checked – coverage starts at 4 30 pm – it clashes with the world indoor bowls championship …
Plus Ricky’s supporters losing what little shizzle they ever had as even the bent UK establishment can’t give him a pass?
One assumes.
Interesting date coincidence.
I remember Trump’s last inauguration and the BBC’s stories of how so few people attended it. Whereas the entire US population turned up for Obama four years earlier, of course.
This time, according to the BBC, I have no doubt the only attendee will be some bloke walking his dog, and then only because he took a wrong turning.
The victims of Pakistani muslim paedo rape gangs are often dismissively described as ‘working class’, with the implication that they’re not very articulate.
That may or may not be the case, but Samantha Smith, for one, is extremely eloquent and well worth listening to, here in conversation with Calvin Robinson on The Lotuseaters.
Particularly damning is her account of how the police tried to intimidate her into silence, as they did to so many others.
I know she’s a bit Marmite, but …

Israel and Hamas peace deal breakthrough is announced as US rushes to reach agreement after Trump warned ‘all hell will break loose’ if hostages are not freed before he returns to office
They are attempting to sabotage as many of the election promises Trump made – and was elected upon – as they can before he gets into office.
That’s what the Left think of Democracy. All their virtue-signalling is complete hypocrisy : this is more evidence of how they are driven by hate and spite. The BBC are excellent examples of it.
The BBC is continuing to recite the TTK plan to turbo charge flying pigs by 2030 . He wants the UK to be at the cutting edge of flying pigs and will laser focus on the issue . All government departments will be instructed to help pigs to fly using Green crap fuel
Truly TTK must really thing we are that dumb …. Talking of which Rachel from Accounts is due back in the UK after he triumphant china trip – she’ll find the cost of borrowing has continued upward …. Which is excellent news …
But it seems TTK has very limited ‘talent ‘ to replace her – it’s either Pixey Balls or …. Lammy …. Either wouid be ideal to continue to rapid destruction of the Marxist regime … with a bit of help from Trump/Musk…
Btw – I’ve looked at the 50 point action plan for flying pigs and it’s full of meaningless hot air …..

TTK is rushing forward trying to get rid of the Chagos Islands before next Monday when Trump takes over.
Why is it so important for Labour to give away the Chagos Islands?
Is it something communist.
Is it some Labour ideology.
Did they promise NOT to give the Chagos Islands away so they have to break the promise in line with all their other broken promises.
Do these Islands cost the UK a lot of money. I know they will cost a huge some to ‘give’ to Mauritius plus to rent it back.
They have made such a big deal out of some Islands that most have never heard of and couldn’t point out on a map. Why?
(I know, blue labour also wanted to get rid of them)
Emmanuel,
Maybe Labour have agreed an understanding with China. Let the Chagos Islands go and we give you some money (maybe £600m over 5 years), the Chinese move by stealth to take more Islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
US Democrats supported by Labour make things difficult for Trump and Republicans to police. Such as supplying and agreeing the use of long range missiles to Ukraine, again pre-Trump.
PS: If that is £600m over 5 years then that’s £120m per year. I think this is trade and therefore even if UK make 50% profit that would be £60m per year. At £7-8m per day on migrant hotels that means it pays for migrants hotels for just over 1 week per year in a year. Retail Rachel strikes again!

This old interview with the Dalai Lama is revealing on many scores.
Firstly, for his view that Europe should be for Europeans and that ‘refugees’ should be sent back to their countries of origin. The Dalai Lama is a super- liberal spiritual leader beloved of leftists (who hate Christianity), so to hear him make such pronouncements must be mind-boggling to them.
Interesting too is how the little weasel woman interviewing him keeps trying to nudge him back to the BBC approved views.
– Trump’s a right bastard isn’t he? (My words, but that’s her tone).
– Shouldn’t people from Afghanistan and the Middle East be allowed to stay in Britain?
– There’s nothing wrong with all Europe becoming Muslim or African, is there?
Again and again the little minx keeps trying to trick him into making politically correct statements.
A bbc favourite…say no more..
The Dalai Lama has apologised after footage emerged of him appearing to kiss a boy on the lips before asking the child to suck his tongue.
In a statement, the Tibetan spiritual leader says he “regretted the incident”.
If the bbc is politically neutral, why do those on the right want to scrap the licence fee and those on the left want to support the bbc and keep the licence fee.
Everyone on GB News supporting the licence fee is the token mad shouty lefty on every panel. The normal people on the panels want the fee scrapped.
