    Suspended Labour MP Mike Amesbury has pleaded guilty to assaulting a man in the street.

    The Runcorn and Helsby MP appeared at Chester Magistrates’ Court on Thursday accused of attacking 45-year-old Paul Fellows in Main Street in Frodsham, Cheshire, which was reported to officers at 2.48am on October 26 last year.

    Amesbury was suspended from the Labour Party after footage emerged which appeared to show him punching a man.

    He now sits in Parliament as an Independent.

    The 55-year-old was summonsed to court to face a charge of section 39 assault after a file was passed to prosecutors on October 29.

    A change of subject . It is interesting to realize that the consequences of the BBC’s lies and fabrications , acting as the Arab information services could have a serious impact on the future.

    This can be most clearly seen in the BBC’s coverage of the Israeli Arab War of 1967 known later as the Six day war. The BBC severely censored its reporter in Jerusalem and chose instead to report on even the most improbable of the Arabs reports . These bore little resemblance to what was really happening.

    The Egyptians and other Arab states proclaimed the completely imaginary participation of American and British pilots and planes in the attacks on their airfields. The Egyptian Air force which in fact never left the ground was said to be wreaking havock in Tel Aviv , Haifa and Netanya and the Israeli airforce was said to have lost 160 planes in the first day alone. (Only 19 Israeli planes were downed in the whole war.)

    As the BBC, was so highly respected as one of the best world news organisations at that time it seemed certain to the world (that even allowing for the well known facts that the Arabs exaggerated , known as “the – Oriental imagination” ) that Israeli planes had been downed and by the second day that Israel was on the brink of defeat. Many hours after the officer commanding the Israeli airforce had announced the destruction of the Egyptian Air force , British newspapers were still debating whether Britain could stand aside and see Israel destroyed. ( Randolph and Winston Churchill The 6 day war ( London 1967)

    President Nasser had misled the Arabs , when he claimed Egyptian planes had bombed Israel cities etc and he certainly misled King Hussain of Jordan . However, if it hadn’t been for the BBC’s mis- reporting and confirming these reports , King Hussain’s would probably not have made the decision to attack Israel and to persist in the attack even after the Israeli Prime Minister urged him to avoid this clash.

    As a result of Jordan entering the war, Israel had to defend itself against the Jordanians. Israel managed to capture the territory that Jordan had illegally occupied in 1948 (only Britain and Pakistan recognising it) and re-united Jerusalem .The BBC had only been reporting the Arabs presentation of the events of the war. In doing so it had in practice turned the situation in a completely different direction which was far from the one that the BBC desired.. The reality of the extent of the Arab defeat was even more devastating because they were preparing to celebrate their victory. .

    Israel now found itself with a population of thousands of Palestinian Arabs, living in their newly acquired territory, mostly living in dire poverty and squalor. Israel took responsibility for the welfare of these Palestinian Arabs. Ironically their situation was to change for the better under Israel’s care.

    This example taken from only some of the medical care they received shows what a difference Israel’s re-uniting of Jerusalem made to their lives. . Between 1967 and 1994 (when the Palestinian Authority took over control of their welfare ), Israel saved the lives of thousands of Palestinian Arabs.The Israelis totally eradicated from the Palestinian Arab population, poliomyelitis, neonatal-tetanus and measles. Also, Israel when it was in charge ,dramatically reduced the death rate of Palestinian Arab newborns from over 60 per 1000 to 19 per 1000 ..

      LynetteO,

      Oh how the BBC has been allowed to manipulate and distort the news over the decades. It should never, ever be believed but alas, only the last decade or two has proven this. The biggest con now is in the concept of ‘Multiculturalism’ and the so-called benefits by dilution of the West by this means. The BBC in full support of this nonsensical drive where, “All people are equal”. All people are NOT equal and we see this every day.
      The ultimate truth could be considered under the heading of ‘Religion’. Centuries of Christianity in the West had the effect of making more people more generally honest in their dealings with others. Whereas, religious upbringings from other parts of the World, has left those people essentially dishonest and glibly so. Hence, “Taqiyya” for the muslim and other levels of dishonesty for many others.

      Although I dealt with the Japanese back in the ‘eighties in the Middle East, I am currently dealing with a Japanese trader right now. What a nightmare. No honesty but attempted bribery apparent.

      Sorry, we in Britain cannot ‘rub along’ foreigners. Nigerians, Egyptians, take your pick. If the hope is that importing millions of very different people will have the consequence that they will be ‘uplifted’ aint gonna work. The Government can pile on all the legislation they want to force us to succumb to habits that are alien to us will not work.

    OUR BRAVE CAPABLE AND GENEROUS LEADER….

    Keir Starmer, having sorted out all our problems here in Britain , went back out onto the International stage today.

    He has announced more help to the Ukrainians, just like all our ex chums in the EU , we are borrowing money and giving it to the Ukraine. Well, I imagine everybody else is borrowing and giving it away, If they aren’t, we will look stupid . So far we have borrowed and given away £13 billion in aid.

    We should be very,very proud and all those people on trolleys in hospital corridors will be enormously cheered up by this terrific news, especially little Mr Street ling who is in charge of telling us that the health service is crap because of everybody but him.

      UK National Debt Surpassed £1 Trillion

      Mainstream media headlines today are focused on Britain’s record national debt, which just surpassed £1 trillion, a figure that can only exponentially increase unless the entire mechanism of Government finance is overhauled. The truth however is much worse, factoring in all liabilities including state and public sector pensions, the real national debt is closer to £4.8 trillion, some £78,000 for every person in the UK.

    “Israel’s Netanyahu delays Gaza cease-fire vote, accusing Hamas of trying to back out of deal.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday accused Hamas of backing out of a cease-fire deal to release hostages and bring a pause to more than a year of fighting in the Gaza Strip.

    Netanyahu’s office said Thursday his Cabinet won’t meet to vote on the Gaza cease-fire deal until Hamas backs down from what it called a “last minute crisis.”

    Netanyahu’s office accused Hamas, without elaborating, of trying to go back on part of the agreement in an attempt “to extort last minute concessions.

    Netanyahu’s office had earlier accused Hamas of backtracking on an earlier understanding that he said would give Israel a veto over which prisoners convicted of murder would be released in exchange for hostages.

    Under the terms of the cease-fire deal, 33 hostages are set to be released over the next six weeks in exchange for hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. Israeli forces will pull back from many areas, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be able to return to what’s left of their homes, and there would be a surge of humanitarian assistance.”

        Yes, I saw an interesting car for sale last week then looked and saw it was …Luton.

        Nope, no way.

        Anyone who has seen “The Sherriffs are Coming” about court appointed bailiffs appointed to enforce a court judgement in the customer’s favour, trying to recover customers money from many car dealers who have ripped off customers will know what I mean.

        After selling a dangerous pile of junk with a false and misleading description, and refusing to repair it or put it right, refusing to answer the phone, refusing to repy to emails or letters, refusing to discuss face to face, refusing to acknowledge they even sold it, even when taken to court and losing, even when confronted with a court order and entry warrant and no way out, they try to refuse access. They desperately call their pet solicitor who is also ignorant of the rights of the bailiffs to enter and recover and try to bully them and obfuscate and buy time.

        They lie and lie and lie, this is not not me, not my name, not my company, the company owner is not here, I don’t know what his name or address is, etc etc etc etc for hours on end until they realise they are not going to get away with it this time.

        Then the Sherriffs start clamping their precious top of the range BMWs and call a car transporter and…abracadabra, their memory suddenly returns….

        But the satisfying part of the programme is watching the bill increase as they are also charged for the hours of delay and cost of the car transporter as well.

          Don’t be fooled. High Court Enforcement is rife with sharp practice and semi legal procedures. Sure, there lots of deserving cases which deserve enforcement but there are lots that don’t.
          Starting from the beginning, High Court Enforcement was started by Bliar’s Government. The Act was so badly drafted that it allowed High Court Enforcement to rack up charges that were often many times the original debt. The Act was reformed in 2014 which curbed many of the excesses. The problem for debtors was that to challenge the charges they had to bring a costs action in the High Court. Anyone want to go for that?

    Teenager who stabbed schoolgirl Elianne Andam to death in row over teddy bear guilty of murder

    A teenager has been found guilty of murdering 15-year-old Elianne Andam by stabbing her in a row over her friend’s teddy bear.

    Hassan Sentamu, 18, had met with Elianne and her friends at a bus stop in Croydon town centre to swap belongings with his ex-girlfriend, who was part of the victim’s group. However, after he showed up without the toy an argument ensued which led to him stabbing the schoolgirl in a fit of “white-hot anger”.

    Sentamu, who was studying sports science at Croydon College, had admitted manslaughter but denied Elianne’s murder on the basis of “loss of control” because he has autism.

    But he was found guilty after jurors deliberated for 11 hours and 42 minutes, and was also convicted of possession of a bladed weapon. Upon hearing the verdict, members of Elianne’s family broke down in tears while others shouted “murderer” from the public gallery.

    Jurors heard that 10 days before the killing, Sentamu had broken up with his girlfriend by text, telling her: “Ur energy is dead I’m not rdy for a relationship…all the best (sic).”

    Usual attack piece from BBC Health against social media and misinformation: “Rise of vaccine distrust – why more of us are questioning jabs”

    Apart from the junk modelling they reference, a remedy the BBC is keen on is ‘pre-bunking’… “teaching people to expect and recognise misinformation online before they encounter it in real life, instead of relying on fact-checking and dull public health videos after the event.”

    Meanwhile outside of the media bubble the regulatory authorities in Oz respond to an FOI on vax adverse events by redacting 82 out of 83 pages. Here’s what trusting public health bodies actually looks like. If misinformation is to blame it’s our state agencies who are responsible.

    “Labour backs down over grooming gangs: Ministers ‘give go-ahead for local inquiries into cultural drivers’ of child sex abuse – after fury at PM ignoring calls for new national probe.

    Labour is backing down over calls for a new grooming gangs probe with ministers giving the go-ahead for a string of local reviews, it has emerged.

    According to the BBC, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is poised to reveal a plan for local inquiries to focus on the ‘cultural drivers’ and ethnicity of the gangs.

    She is also expected to ask police forces to re-open ‘cold cases’ relating to child sexual exploitation and abuse.

    It is reported the local reviews will given a budget of £10million, although a Home Office source disputed this figure ahead of Ms Cooper making a statement to MPs.

    Sarah Champion, Labour MP for Rotherham, claimed ministers were ‘accepting my five-point plan to prevent child abuse and expose cover-ups over grooming gangs’.

    Earlier this week, Ms Champion joined a number of other Labour backbenchers in breaking ranks with Sir Keir Starmer to call for a new national inquiry into the issue.”

    The BBC item on Biden’s valedictory address refers to his warning about oligarchs (rule by a few, often the wealthy) but he doesn’t name names. An obvious omission, so the good old Beeb sees fit to name who they think he is referring to and throws in Musk (boo, hiss). Except, unlike Gates, Soros, Fink and the WEF, Musk has shown no inclination to rule people, rather he wants to give them freedom. I wonder why they don’t name those megalomaniacs above? Perhaps the BBC agrees with their objectives (Agenda 21, UN Objective 2030, WEF Manifesto) or perhaps they are influenced by financial gain?
