1 in 12 Londoners is an Illegal Migrant: “Send in the Army” to Enforce Mass Deportations
Clip from #NCFNewspeak in which the panel discuss shocking data from Thames Water revealing that 1 in 12 Londoners (almost 600,000 people) are illegal migrants.
……………..
Up to one in 12 people living in London is an illegal migrant, according to report
Sixty percent of undocumented migrants in UK said to be residing in London
The report was accessed by the Telegraph through freedom of information-style requests.
The Home Office does not release data regarding illegal migrant numbers in the UK, and exact data on this topic is often difficult to determine.
Migration experts suggested that the figures could be an underestimate
Send in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines to protect the English Channel and thus defend our border security.
Stop the boats coming from France by reducing the French fishing boats in our waters by equal numbers.
The French fishermen will soon stop them .
What is the Home Office afraid of?
Trump on tv.
Looks like he’s calling out the DEI type of tickbox hiring.
People getting their jobs because of what they are and not because they are the best candidates for the job.
Seems this is the ‘human error’ which is to blame for the airplane/helicopter crash.
Early days but he’s usually right.

As far as I can see the only British politician, in my view, who MAY be capable of kicking sense into our country is the Labour Party refugee Lee Anderson.For over 40 years I voted for the Labour Party and suddenly it morphed into the Loony Party so I quit.
I suppose giving up the socialist drug is similar to giving up smoking fags (which I did in 1978) and, judging by my own personal experience, the strongest anti smoker is an ex smoker.
However, I still have sympathy with the addicted and feel that they should be afforded snowflake style “safe spaces in public places”—– separated from me—- of course.
BBC Watch by Duncan Barnes at the TPA..
BBC Watch: N e w s l e t t er.
“As a former BBC radio presenter and journalist, I might seem an odd choice to front BBC Watch for the TaxPayers’ Alliance. But then again, the TPA might have just executed a stroke of genius by asking me to write a monthly blog about the corporation and its future. Think of our relationship as gamekeeper turned poacher.
In my six years at the BBC, I encountered dozens of employees who would constantly moan about the organisation, the management and the decisions made by those in the upper echelons of London’s New Broadcasting House.
But like someone with a severe form of Stockholm Syndrome, they would never do anything about it or be prepared to hear any criticism from others about their employer. This included how the valuable licence fee must be protected at all costs. And this is certainly part of the BBC’s problem – a reluctance to accept that attitudes towards it have changed and it is no longer as much-loved as it likes to think it is.
With a charter renewal due by the end of 2027, the debate about the future funding of the BBC has never been louder and rightly so.
The licence fee was introduced in 1946 and yet almost 80 years later, the BBC seem to think this is still a valid and fair form of funding its organisation. They seem to have forgotten about the explosion of commercial TV and radio in the last 70 years or the invention of the internet. Indeed, there are now reports that those who only watch streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ will soon have to stump up for the licence fee.
It is clear to me the funding must change, and the licence fee must be scrapped. Over the coming year this blog will, amongst other things, look at alternative forms of funding with my personal view being one of subscription, along with government grants for bespoke and niche services that the commercial sector cannot make money out of. More or less as the TPA themselves have suggested in their paper “Switching off.”
This would see services featuring high quality news and culture protected. Local radio, despite the BBC’s recent attempts to decimate the service, provides vital companionship to older listeners and this is exactly the kind of public service broadcasting that they should be doing. And the BBC World Service remains an excellent soft power tool globally which the government should fund and fully utilise.
Like all organisations that rely on other people’s money, the BBC is guilty of extraordinary waste, trust me, I have seen it firsthand. Our blog will keep a keen eye on how the money is spent or frittered away.
And whenever we talk about the BBC, the issue of bias or perceived bias is never too far away from the conversation. I suspect some readers of this blog might have baulked at my suggestion that high quality news output should be protected and believe me, I do understand the frustration many feel regarding how the BBC covers various stories.
I have sat in numerous news and team meetings at the BBC and can honestly say I have never witnessed intentional political bias. Tempting as it might be to think everybody sits around thinking how best to stick it to the Tories or Reform UK, but this does not happen.
However, I have experienced a definite metropolitan bias where everyone thinks the same way which invariably impacts on covering certain issues like the Middle East, Brexit or taxation.
I still recall BBC staff who were dumbfounded when the EU Referendum result came through in 2016. Anyone who had spent time outside the M25 or drinking in pubs in various corners of the country could have told you Brexit was a certainty.
When it was clear Jeremy Corbyn was not going to be Prime Minister in 2019, I witnessed young producers at a BBC local radio station in tears as we covered the election result.
Once again, the BBC is so wrapped up in itself, it does not see how the kind of people it recruits creates a certain perception and can sub-consciously influence its output and programming.
There is plenty to write about and let’s be honest, the latest BBC crisis or scandal never seems to be too far away.
Rest assured BBC Watch will shine a light into all areas of the corporation as it counts down to its Charter renewal. Such scrutiny has never been more important.”
Duncan Watch
I agree with TPA, who have long campaigned for BBC ‘Axe The Tax’.
Now its being axed, and replaced with….. something worse…
The BBC is on the verge of accepting that the TV license is dead and Labour are proposing a new Tax on STREAMING TV (except themselves, of course).
Of course, as we all know on Biased BBC, they BBC is the ‘envy of the world. and we know this as they keep telling is that we are all biased, and that we are all white racists and climate deniers. That is why Labour have decided to TAX us again – and condemn all those that watch NETFLIX (or anything else). An Internet tax, cannot be far behind either… on top of your private school, fees, how DARE you use a non state School! It will be a hate crime to NOT watch the BBC at least once a week, to prove you are not a ‘denier’. All deniers are thrown to the Islamic hordes. Who will inherit the Earth, after Labour. So they say, Labour Marxists may never recover. They rely on immigrants to survive, who do not pay any TV license, and just want a Council house for free, along with free food, transport and Sharia law.

Tax on streaming and tax-funded BBC must NEVER be allowed to happen.
Travelling on public transport in France is ‘safe and effective’.

This is an impossible situation…especially if the judge were an activist judge and inclined to support the greens…
‘A court has ruled that consent for two new Scottish oil and gas fields was granted unlawfully and their owners must seek fresh approval from the UK government before production can begin.
In his judgement, Lord Ericht said a more detailed assessment of the fields’ environmental impact was required, taking into account the effect on the climate of burning any fossil fuels extracted.’
If you have to consider environmental issues just how far do you have to go? It’s endless…and then having considered it and decided to go ahead judging the economy more important than the environment is it in the judges’ power to place the priority on the environment? If so it is rule by judges not Parliament or government.
Oh look….
‘the effects of climate change – which he [the judge] said outweighed the interests of the developers. ‘
But hang on…it’s not just the developers’ interest…it’s in the interest of the country to have a supply of gas…the judge is not considering that….so maybe his judgement is illegal…no?
This is what happens when you have ignorant, virtue-signalling politicians making laws and regulations that they have no understanding of and no measure of the consequences….and of course it all started with Miliband making nut zero legally enforceable.
The class nerd is taking his revenge on us all. One look at him and you know he should be absolutely nowhere near anything that requires common sense, judgement and a dose of reality. He is his father’s son carrying on where he left off in his attempt to destroy Britain and turn us into a communist paradise.
Irony is he’s Jewish and the BBC loves him….if Farage chucked a milk-shake over him there’d be total outrage…however if Hamas did…radio silence or even applause.
Pug – it may be that the oil companies will cut their losses and go to the US for the ‘drill baby drill ‘ show – why bother with a failing state like Britain . ?
Bet the case involved the big foreign-funded lawfare operation called Client-Earth
been doing it for 1 years at least
but libmob say Musk speaking is the baddie
> In his judgement, Lord Ericht said a more detailed assessment of the fields’ environmental impact was required, taking into account the effect on the climate of burning any fossil fuels extracted.’
Lock these crack-heads up in 15-min neighbourhoods and make them walk everywhere.
Would that include the likes of the BBC which publishes routes for migrants to come to the UK and gives them every encouragement to do so and when they do arrive does all it can to silence any criticism and hide their crimes?
‘Endangering lives at sea is to be a new criminal offence carrying a jail term of up to five years as part of plans to tackle people smuggling, the Home Office says.
Border officials will also get powers to seize migrants’ phones in the search for intelligence about who helped them cross the Channel.
Those convicted of acts in preparation of smuggling, such as buying boat parts, face up to 14 years in jail, in an attempt to tackle gangs at a far earlier stage in their preparations.’
BBC news telling us that the border force will have the power to seize the phones of illegals . I recall a video Farage put out where he filmed a dinghy load dumping their phones mid channel .
May the new HMS mothball can go get them …
They get a nice new phone, paid for, when they get here.
ITV local news 12 minutes of smiley jolliness so far
as they have coverage of the funeral of John Prescott
Saint John Prescott apparently
clearly the item is a vehicle for PR for Labour bigwigs
some featured in the start footage , Gordon Brown, Blair , Alastair Campbell etc/
We are now into the second segment with Gordon Brown
We’ve had eulogy from him, then Blair , Alastair Campbell , violent Hull MP Karl Turner, Andy Burnham, Alan Johnson
No women so far
Keep saying he’s a man of people and “punchy”
They were slow to list any actually achievements
But then said he was a pioneer of regional devolution
And the presenter herself claimed he was a 1997 Climate pioneer
They mentioned his last political try was to be Humberside Police Commissioner
but he wasn’t elected
..something about him and the
Now one or two local women
After 20 mins the item is just finishing up
Oh now it’s the weather
And the prog ends after 25 mins, cos there is a Refom Party advert on
So there was no other news at all .
If I recall his big achievement was getting a bridge built no one wanted … another snout in the trough … just so so many ..
Yep the ferry used to dock right in the middle of Hull
so travel times haven’t improved much, for mot journeys.
BBC local news line up item actually promises other items after the Prescott one
– A huge rise in number of fines for breaking school holidays rules
– Why has N Lincs water deteriorated ?
– Artist David Hockney
Started with Tony Blair
Now the usual high;y crafted video montage piece with background music
Blair, Blair, Blaire, now Starmer, Starmer
Presenter is more sombre wearing a dark suit
speaks of a “A grieving family.”
Item focussing on his wife Pauline
No mention so far of him being unfaithful.
Now Lindsay Hoyle the speaker, at the funeral.
It is striking how the BBC interview footage and ITV interview footage is exactly the same as if pooled and managed.
Oh after less than 7 min they have moved on
Doing actual local news ..”Village is no longer being considered for nuclear waste deep deep storage.”
9 mins in we have moved on to School fines item.
Unlike ITV the presenters are not really paying homage to Prescott .. they are laughing and joking about other things.
BTW water quality is a non story
One set of villages has just changed borehole
so they are getting the hardwater the rest of the area gets
and areseeing limescale for the first time.
We use a filter jug
of some houses uses a water softener at their stopcock.
‘Bradford man fathered 3 children with his daughters ‘… nice that one kept it in the family instead of the usual white young girls eh ? Didn’t hear that one on the BBC – and sure the MCB will put out a statement …
City of UK Culture 2025
RoP-er culture? Or maybe just rape culture?
Farage has put a short piece on YouTube pointing out the cancellation of local elections . But why waste money and time on elections at all ?
Can’t really see the point …
Nor me, only ever voted in local elections once.
What could be more Communist (or Fascist) than cancelling elections?
Starmer has taken us a step closer to gulags.
What next? Summary executions?

Reporting from Arlington
Washington air crash
‘ I just spoke with Giorgio Ko, another neighbour in my apartment building who came to the roof during his lunch. He wanted to see the current status of the crash scene.
“I’ve never seen anything like this. I was born in the area,”
he says, referencing the countless emergency response vehicles that were blaring their sirens en route to the airport. ‘
Why bother going out to do your report, just interview your neighbours…
What the BBC won’t tell you about the crash: For years, the US Federal Aviation Administration have been turning away highly qualified applicants for air-traffic control in favour of more, erm, ‘diverse’ applicants.
Reminiscent of Fire Fighters in California?
It looks obvious in that picture to us, but the helicopter pilot cannot see the bright landing lights like we can from this angle.
He will just see the flashing red/green navigation lights on the ends of the wings and the one in front moving across his line of sight will grab his attention much more than the one he hit.
I can imagine it could be hard to judge the distances in that situation. I agree with Trump : it looks much more like an air-traffic control issue.
“New crime of endangering lives to target small boat crossings”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2egme9vp34o
“Just stop the boats” & “Smash the Gangs”!
As the PM ordered !
“New crime of endangering lives to target small boat crossings”
What a bunch of idiots, this Government is, they must think we’re as stupid as they are. There are plenty of Laws already in force that would take care of the situation. Manslaughter will do for fatal situations:
The oft quoted SOLAS regulations. For example:
Prior to proceeding to sea, the master shall ensure that the intended voyage has been planned using the appropriate nautical charts and nautical publications for the area concerned, taking into account the guidelines and recommendations developed by the Organization.*
There are in fact any number of SOLAS regulations that are breached by the operators of these Channel crossings. Fatalities and injuries caused by failing to comply should result in prosecution. These crossings are commercial enterprises and prosecution should be easy.
It’s also true to say that the French themselves are in breach of SOLAS regs as they are allowing the departure of unsafe craft from their shores.
Now Trump refers to DEI as a possible factor in the crash.
The ‘press’ (ie. political activists) go bananas.
But don’t worry, BBC Verify are on the case; they’ll have the matter cleared up in no time.
It’s absolutely true that forcing ‘DEI’ degrades the quality of any system it’s forced into.
The dire standard of BBC output these days is all the evidence you need. The ‘creative spark’ that once guaranteed great programs is gone. And look at the pictures of the type of clone I keep finding when investigating the author of so many of the apalling news articles.
Even on Tuesday as I navigated the trains to get to the airport, a train which many people were waiting for was late because another was still on the platform, then another would arrive and depart before the actual one would arrive. I noticed how the female announcer on the tannoy’s voice was so high-pitched that through such poor speakers, nobody could understand a word she was saying. Nobody had a clue whether they should get on. It was chaos while the female guard was shouting instructions and nobody could hear her either. The end result was that the actual train was 20 minutes late when it could have been 5 if people knew what to do.
It’s a kind of butterfly effect. People would then miss aeroplanes or later connections and every so often something significant will go wrong for someone as a result.
Of course the Left will never, ever admit that : it removes one of the foundation stones of their whole ideology.
BBC headline and tweet
Man who burned Quran ‘shot dead in Sweden’
FFS why the scare quote marks BBC ?
.. Are you saying it’s fiction ?
Leo Kearse tweets
“At this point, Western governments look complicit”
The BBC use that trick a LOT Stew and they use it both ways.
It’s how they can either print someone’s blatantly biased opinion as ‘virtual fact’ without saying it’s just an opinion or cast doubt on something which most definitely IS true if they want to cast doubt as in this case.
I don’t often listen to BBC related podcasts, but this morning, while walking my wee dog, I caught a bit of the Gardeners’ World podcast. I didn’t last long…
They had on a well meaning young fellow, who created gardens and was helped by “stressed youngsters”. Apparently, this is part of their therapy.
“Yes”, he told us, “some of them have ADHD, others are on the autistic spectrum, some have oppositional defiant disorder” (WTF?) and most are depressed and anxious. Blimey…
Anyway, this bloke turned out to be a real green fanatic and kept banging on about the climate and saving the planet for future generations and how he “educated” these already stressed kids about green issues. He went on and on and…
Can you imagine how helpful that is for already anxious teenagers? Gardening is supposed to be good for you. All this fretting about our imagined imminent extinction won’t do them, or anyone else any good. Anyway, it’s all bollocks.
Actually, it was a lovely morning up on the north downs. My dog was chasing fleet-footed rabbits and squirrels and I saw a cluster of early snowdrops and noticed that the tips of our native dogwood are turning a vivid red. Spring is just around the corner. It was too nice to be listening to this crap.
I turned miserable sod off…
If he had wanted to reassure those kids, he could have said that CO2 levels are now about half as much again as they were in 1850 and this is great for plants and photosynthesis, as it makes the planet greener. The figures are 280 ppm and currently 420 ppm. When the dinosaurs walked the Earth, the level was 5000 ppm or more (five thousand, not five hundred).
Nice piece, Jeff!
As you say, gardening is one of the best antidotes to the imagined ‘mental’ issues spouted by useful idiots on the BBBC.
One of the best elements of gardening is the satisfaction of decent exercise from hard work, whether you’re strong or weak, and I proved that by taking on one of the worst allotments ever seen in my village! It was just covered a yard high with every conceivable weed, carpet remains, dumped trash etc!
Business was hard and slack back then, (Gordon Brown’s disastrous tenure of Downing Street had stifled investment everywhere – rather like that accounts woman is doing now), and so for an hour or so a day, I’d walk down there, and dig out barrow-loads of seriously knotted couch grass, then sitting and clouting every handful of soil, and eventually standing back and seeing just one square yard of cleared ground at the end of the hour!
Now that really was therapy, not farting around ‘creating’, which it seems is the norm for broadcasting lightweights these days! I guess the no-dig fanatics started the rot, but that’s another story -there’s always plenty of rubbish about that on so-called gardening progs these days, so I ignore them as well!
US Potomac horrific helicopter – jet air disaster….
OK everyone, the BBC is on the case investigating with BBC “Verify”..
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c4g95z8jqr4o
So far “verify” amounts to running the same footage already released to most other news outlets with the same details already released but I guess using BBC verify to investigate might mean those yanks under the new Trump administration are not going to get away with any dodgy right-wing stuff now! As if they suspect the potential for false reporting from the States or something. Or maybe the BBC verify department just have nothing else to do right now?
lol digg – they add absolutely nothing whatsoever to the story.
They try to smear themselves as being an ‘authority’ on any big stories. They repeat all the same information as if they are the source of it then throw in some big words like ‘we geolocated the scene to be at …’ which actually means they checked it was where everyone already knows it was with google earth.
Remember, they have a 60 man team to justify – hence all the pointless graphics and effects.
And it’s all for one reason : to build up a perceived reputation of authority which can then be used for the important agenda headlines where they weave in their usual lies by omission and inference.
I think you are spot on John! It’s all about justifying their juvenile antics. I would be a bit miffed if I were one of those involved on the ground trying to work out what the hell happened when the BBC appear to suggest they are already working on establishing the actual facts from 2000 miles away from an cubicle in W1.
Too rught, Digg!
No doubt President Trump will be closely examining all their copy, which as you say, is just a re-run of real news organisations’ work, and using all their facts and figures and ‘observations’, to determine the future policies of running a America’s airspace…
…not.
Actually, I spent some time checking out YouTube pics of the 1982 plane crash in The Potomac, as I can remember watching live footage of the horrors back then, and the difference in reporting is remarkable, even with such a tragedy unfolding in front of everybody!
BBC apologises for culture of silence over Russell Brand
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8r5076y05ko
Here we have the BBC doing what the Left do best.
Which is being complete and utter hypocrites. They preach one thing in public but underneath these people are just deceitful, virtue-signaling, shallow, nasty scumbags.
Nothing new here of course : I’ve said this many times – but this is just more evidence of how they don’t give a shit about anyone if it doesn’t suit their own agenda. They will cover up ANYTHING if it’s not convenient for them.
Contrast: White man just questioned and denies any responsibility makes a front-page headline:
‘Man who drugged wife and plotted her mass rape questioned over 1990s attacks’
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3w4dk717eo
Muslim rape gangs are not even reported until they are found guilty. 14 year old black boys murdering each other on the streets of London often goes unreported.
Welcome to the world of the Left. The anti-white, anti-right virtue-signalling agenda is everything.
Combative Trump takes aim at diversity policies after air tragedy
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpvmdm1m7m9o
Another piece of BBC journalistic lies from Zurcher’s worsening case of TDS.
‘Asked by a reporter how he could blame diversity programmes for the crash when the investigation had only just begun, the president responded: “Because I have common sense.”‘
Once again the video shows the truth. Trump replied ‘It just could have been.’
Under the video they wrote:
‘President Trump says crash “could have been” a result of diversity hiring – but provided no evidence’
Why do you have to provide evidence when you just said ‘It could have been’ ???. If he had evidence, he would have said ‘It was’. Do police sit around a table discussing a crime and when one says ‘It could have been the maid’, do all the others demand to see the evidence ?. Of course not – it’s the start point to go look for evidence.
We will have to call him Liar-Lurch from now on. The man has greatness in him : he could become an even bigger tw@t than Sopel.
The BBC are very keen to use the new phrase ‘without evidence…’
Unless, of course, an approved politician says ‘diversity is our strength’, in which case it is never questioned nor is evidence is sought.
I’ve noticed it is used exclusively against right-wing politicians as a way to imply they are lying – even when it is used complete out of place like Lurch just did.
I have never seen it used against a Lefty.
Again the people are poorly served by pendulum blob establishment.
Trump was either pre informed but still precipitate, however it was possible to comment appropriately without creating the Demedia shizzle storm. Guess he cares less.
However the knee jerk from the BBC is as pathetic as it is inevitable. For an account holding media they’d make a good butt plug.

REMINDER: Biden’s pick to lead the FAA was a DEI hire who couldn’t answer a single question about aviation.
“The first is that his eagerness to inject himself into a major news story is undiminished in his new term. And the second is that in his view it is never too soon to inject politics into national tragedy – and use it to attack opponents and advance his agenda.”
It’s what real, proper leaders do, Lurchy-baby, they get out there first! Try and understand the concept of leadership – it’s not apprent in your cubicles, so perhaps get out a bit more!
John’s right, he is turning into another wet blanket, or at least a damp patch…

Isn’t it amazing how the BBC can suddenly stop caring about someone’s human rights when it suits them ?.
I’m somewhat stunned that our society can do this to someone and all the media keep quiet. This – and the policing of the Soutport protests – have changed my entire perception of what ‘freedom’ means in the UK.
And even worse, TTK now brands me as a ‘far-right extremist’ for even thinking it.

How does a lawyer sleep? First, he lies on one side, then he lies on the other.
Idris Elba may want to blunt every woman’s kitchen knife – but the knives are certainly out for the government’s top lawyer: Hermer ‘is a hypocrite’ as deputies reveal pay… The Attorney General has been accused… over his refusal to declare his earnings from past legal cases… worked for clients including Gerry Adams before he joined the Government in July 2024 (Telegraph)
Legal chief is ‘freezing policy’… ‘Activist’ attorney general accused by ministers of obstructing government… Ministers told the Times that Lord Hermer KC’s move to increase the power of government lawyers had delayed policies… concerns lawyers had taken a “computer says no” approach… “He seems to think – and has said as much – that international law is more important than national law, and that’s totally insane…” a source said (Times)
How’s that international law workin’ out fo’ yer?
Rumble in the jungle
South Africa’s Congo alert… Pretoria has warned that further attacks on its peacekeepers by Rwandan-backed rebels would be a “declaration of war” as tensions spiral in the Democratic Republic of Congo (FT)

Russian arrest warrant for Sun man Starkey… How Vladdy dare you… The Sun’s Defence Editor Jerome Starkey was yesterday slapped with a Russian arrest warrent… A court also put him on a wanted list for daring to report from inside Kursk (Sun)
Your Mr AsI contends – and this may shock liberals, Blairites and wet Tories out there – but our very own Starkey – the Tudor historian and now black-balled Oxbridge don, David of that Ilk, would agree whole heartedly – there is, in reality, no such bloody thing as International Law!
Late last year Hermer strengthened the guidance on the risk government lawyers should take to say they must advise ministers if policies are unlawful (Times) – which, somewhat baffling construction, means in effect we’re increasingly being governed by lawyers not our elected officials.
As for Labour politicans who for years revelled in any vaguely conservative policy from the former Tory government being stymied by Brussels and even under Brexit by some supposed International Law – who are now moaning to the press about this present Lord Hermer turn of events, well, I’m reminded of Corporal Jones from Dad’s Army and his catchphrase “They don’t like it up ’em! They do not like it up ’em!”
‘We need people who believe in Brexit’ – insists Nigel Farage in the Express

They do so like to blame everything on men: Watchdog: women face an epidemic of violence (lead headline in the Guardian, report by Alexandra Topping) – this “Shock New Report” – as our jounos like to say – name checks the murder of Sarah Everard – which killing was absolutely NOT facilitated by the Lockdown powers gifted to the police – got that?
Even though the word “Epidemic” is a favourite term in our media and is boldly deployed in the Guardian headline. Don’t be misled. It was instead purely and simply ‘violence against women and girls’ VAWG – here endeth the lesson.
But if only we had a well-funded judge-led officially constituted currently sitting public inquiry that could look into all that. Packed with lawyers of course.

… the BBC are rubbishing President Trump’s suggestion that DEI hiring may have led to the tragic plane and helicopter collision in Washington. What we know so far and BBC Verify ought to be checking – hello, Marianna, are you on it? – is whether claims that ATC (Air Traffic Control) was short-staffed at the time of the crash.

“The main reason for the unpopularity of the licence fee is the unpopularity of the BBC – its unrelenting woke, left-progressive worldview, its repeated insistence on trying to defend the reputation of sexual predators, its ideological agendas from trans and DEI to unfounded climate scaremongering, all reflected in its plummeting editorial standards which deny informed debate and limit its journalistic impartiality and investigation.

I think the CAA is still pretty tough on such things – and from my experience ATC they don’t muck about … careful or I will start telling you pilot stories …
Any way – I was on approach to a fair size foreign airport and although I had clearance to land the ATC didn’t realise I was a jelly copter which could only do 60 knots…. And there was a Ryanair coming in behind me … going much faster ….
Who ever the ATC was in Washington will really be going through it – whether it was their ‘fault ‘or not -… sully – from landing in the east river in NY reckons it was a series of ‘domino’s ‘ which just lined up badly on the night .
I can only fly in daylight but things do look different when the sun is going down … never fancied night flying …

Trump raises the possibility that somewhat astonishing DEI recruitment policies may have played a role in the aircrash in the US and cue total outrage…how inappropriate that he dares to pre-empt the inquiry!
Moments later the BBC is suggesting that maybe it was inadequate staff numbers that may have contributed to the crash…..and that speculation is entirely OK.
This is back to TDS which meant that the BBC et al totally denied covid came from a lab because Trump, no doubt on advice from his experts, said it did…and now it is more and more the accepted theory.
And then the ‘Far-Right’ AFD….Today was calling them Far-Right and then suddenly Robinson suggested that calling them that was problematic…it is. Next news bulletin it was the ‘Right-Wing’ AFD….and there’s always been a firewall between the goodguys and the ‘Right-Wing’.
This is from yesterday’s web report…
‘Germany’s parliament descended into heckles and recriminations on Wednesday after a “firewall” against working with the far-right cracked.’
Wonder if they will update it and continue to use ‘Right-Wing’. Somehow doubt it.
Corbyn is popular – a populist so it’s ok.
Trump is popular – a populist so he is a fascist.
Pug – it’s both fascinating and a horror show watching the Democrat MsM trying to get back on its’ feet after the Trump knock out .
The Donald – as ever – goes off on his stream of consciousness and the evil MSM lap up every word .
If – when – it turns out that the ATC was a queer disabled neurologically challenged the MSM will still go for the president …
But let’s face it – whatever he says – the US public are so cheesed off with an invasion across the southern border they’ll approve anyone …
Meanwhile – tariffs coming in tomorrow … or maybe not …
Pug – im guessing the average kraut would be less than impressed with anything the KGB haus- Frau might say – since she imported the mess single handed ….
I’m certainly not going to claim that it (DEI) was a factor in the Potomac collision but having had some v.small experience (including some “training” and practice operation in a synthetic environment) of ATC operations = the imposition cannot rationally be justified when training failure/rejection rates were traditionally among the highest known.
Comment from the above YT video link
resonates with what the trainers told me on the few visits I made to the training centre. Some years later I met a woman who’d been rejected there and got the distinct impression that she believed that it was her sex that’d failed her ….
Doubtless the morass of opinion and political point scoring will continue – I see Trump has purportedly commented on DEI wrt aviation and the usual lefty TDS crew have pounced on what he said without quoting exactly and giving context (surprise, not) .
You couldn’t pay me enough to manage air traffic like that over Washington …. as Juan Brown elaborates there’s a slew of confounding factors in that airspace and my head hurts just trying to imagine doing the controller’s job.
I really hope it wasn’t a Frank Spencer sort of a thing.
Tomo – just to add to the mix – X is saying the Blackhawk pilot was a trannie .. it’s just a soup of horrors . She / he might have been the worlds’ bestist helicopter pilot – but there will be mud .. same with the under staffed ATC because someone went home early … ?
I really hope that the NTSB? investigators are apolitical and deliver the facts … they’ll reconstruct the video from the ATC – helicopter and jet to see what each one saw and maybe then there’ll be an answer …
oh, gawd….
Trannies seem to be attracted to rotary wing piloting…..

“A gene-editing therapy for sickle cell disease, with a price tag of £1.65m, is to be offered to patients on the NHS in England.

About 15,000 people in England live with the condition, which mainly affects people of Black African and Black Caribbean heritage.
Morning MM,
Is that £1.65m for the whole program, or for one patient, or for one dose (Wouldn’t surprise me). Plenty of rich black folk could chip in for this. Meanwhile, the indigenous elderly people, who have paid into the system all their lives can’t get a hip replacement.

It’s unfortunate that the air crash in DC has become ‘political ‘. Footage of the FAA candidate put up by Biden 4 years ago is ‘a painful watch ‘. He is quizzed about basic air stuff by senators – but best that could be said is ‘hopeless’ – and an insult for not having prepared for questions .
The dolt Biden put in was called ‘mr Washington ‘ – you might guess the colour …

During the European Parliament plenary sessions in Strasbourg, the meeting takes place on Tuesday. The President of the Commission can call extraordinary College meetings if circumstances require, to discuss a particular topic or event.
At first I thought Trump was indulging in a bit of hyperbole when he suggested DEI hiring policies might be responsible for the crash.
But no: the useless FAA really announced, on their website, a preference for those with disabilities involving “hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism”.
That’s what you want in a traffic controller: a deaf, blind, paralyzed, psychotic, armless, epileptic dwarf guiding your plane in. But at least he’s black, so that’s ok.
Shut up and enjoy the crash, you racist bigot.
Vlad…you just don’t understand…unlike Adrian Chiles who does and stated today that such people just hadn’t had a chance to show what they can do…they could be as good or indeed, better than others who don’t have these, er, skills and talents.
Chiles later on, in a discussion about Gaza, and Trump of course, said that ‘Some might say Oct 7 was an act of war…’…..thus not an horrendous act of terrorism and inhumanity presumably and comparable to the D-Day landings maybe…some might say.

In just 100 days in 1994, about 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda by ethnic Hutu extremists. They were targeting members of the minority Tutsi community, as well as their political opponents, irrespective of their ethnic origin.

Rwanda illegally occupying DR Congo, minister tells BBC
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj91yy023dxo
Rwanda is illegally occupying the Democratic Republic of Congo and attempting to orchestrate regime change, the country’s foreign minister has told the BBC.
Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner said the world had allowed Rwandan President Paul Kagame decades of impunity and failure to hold him accountable for violating international law.
Rwanda’s government spokeswoman Yolande Makolo denied the accusation and said its troops were only deployed to prevent the conflict spilling over to its territory.
Mark, odd that when Starmer is in his hospitality box at The Emirates, his beloved Gooners are sponsored by “Visit Rwanda”.
The man has no self awareness.
Visit Rwanda is Arsenal Football Club’s official Tourism Partner and its first shirt sleeve partner. The Visit Rwanda logo features on the left sleeve of all AFC teams for the duration of the exciting, three-year partnership.
The Arsenal shirt is seen 35 million times a day globally and AFC is one of the most watched teams around the world, enabling Visit Rwanda to be seen in football-loving nations around the world and helping its drive to be an even more successful tourism and investment destination.
Arsenal’s Chief Commercial Officer, Vinai Venkatesham, said: “This is an exciting partnership which will see us support Rwanda’s ambition to build their tourism industry. The country has been transformed in recent years and Arsenal’s huge following will bring Rwanda into people’s minds in a new and dynamic way.”

The latest murder by the Religion of Violence barely got a mention on the beeb.
Nor did the fact that the overwhelming majority of comments from muslims on social media approved of the killing – they were positively ecstatic.
Thus, once again exploding the myth that it’s only a tiny minority of extremists who hold murderous views.
(Sadly, many non-muslims were cheering too. The same morons who riot through our streets every weekend in support of Hamas.)

LOL….Russia’s most successful agent complaining about the rise of the AFD…
‘Germany’s former Chancellor Angela Merkel has criticised her own party leader for passing a motion in parliament with support from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).
In a statement, Merkel accused CDU leader Friedrich Merz of turning his back on a previous pledge not to work with AfD in the Bundestag.’
….the AFD that she did more than most to create by unilaterally throwing open Europe’s borders to millions of Muslims. The AFD was a response to that and the subsequent attacks on German society and culture. The AFD is her ‘monster’ just as riots in Southport were the result of similar reckless immigration policies here.
As the Left gets more extreme and tries to impose ever more radical policies there is blowback and opponents adopt similarly extreme measures to combat the Left’s own extremism.
The Left has the huge advantage of having so much of the Establishment on its side…either through stupidity, naivety or fear…fear of the other advantage…the bulk of the MSM is far-left…immigration, climate, trans, race….say the wrong word and the MSM will roast you alive…your career is ended….hence so many buckle and mouth the ‘correct’ orthodoxies.
Until the BBC is made to live up to its ideals this country is finished….it is the gold standard that sets the rules.
Love the quote here….human rights [of illegal migrants] outweigh national security.
Angela Merkel: German multiculturalism has ‘utterly failed’

Chancellor’s assertion that onus is on new arrivals to do more to integrate into German society stirs anti-immigration debate
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/oct/17/angela-merkel-german-multiculturalism-failed
Speaking to a meeting of young members of her Christian Democratic Union party, Merkel said the idea of people from different cultural backgrounds living happily “side by side” did not work.
“Wherever it is possible, we must lower the entry hurdles for those who bring the country forward.”
Curious thing….covid, according to the BBC, was unleashed upon the world via a wet market in China…thus presumably would have ripped through China as much as, if not more than, any other country…but oddly China was one of the least effected countries….along with most of Africa…which China wants to colonize one way or another..and represents no threat to China…unlike all those other countries that were laid waste to by covid. Some might say this was an extraordinary coincidence…others might say it was biological warfare.

Mao ambitiously sought an increase in rural grain production and an increase in industrial activity. Mao was dismissive of technical experts and basic economic principles, which meant that industrialization of the countryside would solely be dependent on the peasants. Grain quotas were introduced with the idea of having peasants provide grains for themselves and support urban areas. Output from the industrial activities such as steel was also supposed to be used for urban growth.[6] Local officials were fearful of the so-called “Anti-Right Deviation Struggle” and they competed to fulfill or over-fulfill quotas which were based on Mao’s exaggerated claims, collecting non-existent “surpluses” and leaving farmers to starve to death.

‘”We do not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong opinions and ideas,” he said.
He then speculated, without giving evidence, that lowered standards of hiring for air traffic controllers in the Federal Aviation Administration during the Joe Biden and Barack Obama presidencies may have been a factor in the disaster.’
BBC quick to claim Trump had no evidence…and yet there is plenty of evidence that the FAA was hiring on an identity basis rather than skills. It may not have been the cause of this crash but surely must be a cause for concern as they turn away highly skilled candidates due to race or other criteria….so much so that there is a class action lawsuit filed against the federal agency by candidates refused jobs due to not matching the DEI criteria. Curious that the BBC doesn’t make any attempt to explore the issues and leaves it to vloggers on Youtube to ferret out the truth. Any wonder that so many people now don’t go to the BBC for their news.
Lol….comment on the video…we need….
