I can start the week off by calling for the BBC to be defunded. They are no longer impartial; the BBC attack President Trump and the BBC attack Bibi Netanyahu but the BBC do not attack Sir Keir Starmer.
Bloody hell, I thought I might have grabbed pole position. Anyway…
There’s a new four part series on the BBC called Miss Austen, all about Jane’s sister, Cassandra. I rather like Jane Austen and I used to enjoy period dramas, but I really should have known better.
It started well enough. Keeley Hawes in a lovely Georgian house, wearing an appropriate dress and being whisked off in a horse drawn carriage. She travels to be at the deathbed of an old friend and arrives soaked and windswept.
“The doctor is with him,” she is told, “but he might allow you a few minutes,” And then the bombshell. Cassandra enters the bedroom of the dying man and sitting beside the sickbed is the doctor…and he’s as black as your bloody hat..I mean, FFS, give us a bleedin’ break…
This endless racial propaganda is as pitiful as it is predictable.
You’re an old romantic Jeff and rightly so, like most of us who went to school in the 50s and 60s, we were taught the classics as they were written, with no indication of the odd person of colour thrown in, as a consequence it jarres our senses when we see a black Ann Boleyn or an Indian David Copperfield, because (accordingly) we should dismiss everything we were taught and become colour blind to appease the diversity crowd. Well, bollocks to that !
It’s now written in stone., from ad agencies to casting companies to the Academy of Dramatic Art in Hollywood that regardless of talent, there has to be a satisfactory percentage of ethnics employed. Manna from heaven for the BBC.
And there we have it Jeff. A disproportionate number of black faces appearing in vintage eras where none were in reality. All judges, chief of police, anyone in authority on American films are now all non white.
Can you remember how old you were when you first saw a non white ? I can’t. Rare as hens teeth on the south east corner of Kent when I was growing up.
An old timer in the village I now live in, told me a tale how in the early 50s he went running off to his Dad because “there was a very black man coming up the lane”. His Dad got his shotgun ready – neither had seen a non white person before.
My dad told me that when he was a lad if he saw a black man, which was incredibly rare, he would “touch them for luck.” Yes, it seems an odd thing to do, but I think it was some sort of superstition that suggested you would come into money. Whether it worked or not…
My old dad should have been around in the times of Dickens, Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Robin Hood, because according to modern TV, Britain was crawling with blacks.
Yes, that rings a bell. Perhaps that’s where it originated. There were quite a few traditions around Chimney sweeps.
You don’t see them often these days, but with my log burner I have one who visits once a year. He still uses the long brush, but he’s also got a massive vacuum device. It’s all mod-cons.
Maybe next time he’s brushing my flue I’ll give it a try.
Jeff – I gave up -don’t watch the DEI poison anymore – although it could be sickly funny waiting for the first coloured to turn up …. ( always in a ‘good ‘ role of course )
The Beeb did much the same with a series they made about the notorious case of The Night Stalker. This horrible individual had been prowling the streets of south London, Croydon, New Addington etc, for yonks, breaking into the homes of the elderly, robbing and raping them.
His victims were mainly in their eighties. It must have been incredibly traumatic and and some didn’t survive the ordeal.
In the TV adaptation, Martin Clunes plays the real life detective who finally caught this beast, but about half his fellow CID officers are black, mixed race or Asian.
The final piece of this drama interviewed the real detectives and…guess what…all of them were white. Not a single ethnic to see.
Oh, sorry, come to think of it, there was one real black person involved in this whole deeply unpleasant case.
Can we look forward to a BBC production of Othello, where the lead is a white man who does not have, ahem, dark make up?
Or a docudrama about Martin Luther King, with Ryan Reynolds in the leading role?
Nope, thought not.
I have a rule of thumb about watching tv series, basically I regard them as escapism, a couple of hours away from doomed Britannia. It is many years since I watched any recently produced UK show.
I will watch modern series from across Europe as I find there are fewer ethnics and that their presence doesn’t rub my nose in Britains decline as much as it would in a UK series. They are still quite Wokery though.
I watch UK series produced before 2010/2015 where ethnicity and preaching the Woke gospel is less intrusive.
Anything more recent I am very suspicious of and approach with caution. The reason is that I want to avoid being reminded of the dire state of my country and recent TV programmes depress me no end as they ram it down my throat.
Double – maybe it’s age – but the trash put up on Prime just leaves me cold – maybe a couple of films / programmes a month – so no worry if I gave it up – I found Netflix the same – dumped that – apple thing – no need –
I do wonder if the feedback they get will have any effect – particularly now that the US election is allowing the money side of Hollywood to dump the woke DEI stuff ….but I reckon the time lag will be years …
As for the BBC ? Rogue heroes …. Wolf half ? Is that it ?
In a perversion of justice he was jailed for murder after defending his own home at night from a burglary by career criminal travellers.
The trial had been carefully choreographed. Public attendance was only via a ticket from a Whitehall address. By astonishing coincidence the public were only travellers and approved journalists. The travellers put on an Oscar deserving performance ‘wracked with grief’. A limp-wristed jury in the peoples republic of Norwich found Martin guilty of murder.
Such was the public outrage having overturned centuries of English common law that Blair even noted his concern.
A BBC poll of laws wanted by the public even voted a ‘Tony Martin’ law into first position. The BBC highly compromised and embarrassed conveniently erased all memory of this poll.
My own legal research into the issue of, ‘Self-defence’ in the UK led me to examine closely, the legal issues/cases involving Tony Martin. The examination and conclusion exemplifies the principle of not going too far when defending oneself i.e. ‘Over-kill’. Tony Martin did commit murder: he shot one of the intruders in the back while the subject was trying to escape.
@G your are wrong cos on appeal the count of murder was reduced to manslaughter.
You can’t just shoot an intruder when they are heading away
but in the heat of the incident you may not have the control you should have.. hence not murder.
Amazing where you have to go to find some truth these days.
‘Following the incident, former President Donald Trump blamed the military’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hiring policies, bringing scrutiny upon the Blackhawk pilots.’
‘On social media, speculation spread over why Lobach’s identity was withheld. Some users alleged her name was kept secret while her social media accounts were erased.’
‘”They deleted Rebecca Lobach’s social media accounts before releasing her name. It wasn’t to grieve,” one user claimed.’
‘Another post referred to Lobach as a “PART-TIME Blackhawk pilot”, alleging her family had scrubbed her anti-Trump social media posts before the announcement.’
‘Right-wing commentator and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer further fueled speculation, claiming Lobach was a Biden aide who attended Pride events.’
I love it how labels are applied easily to the Right by the media and never to the Left. This ‘conspiracy theorist’ is absolutely right : she was a Biden aid.
And how much of the above information did the BBC give us ?
‘Rebecca Lobach, an aviation officer from Durham, North Carolina, was also on board the helicopter.
She had served in the army since 2019 and also volunteered as a military aide in the White House.’
That’s it. They will not print anything which might infer Trump is right about anything now.
Personally I think comment about dead pilots etc, can wait until their families have had time to grieve.
and she served her country, whatever her politics.
Stew – the problem is the amount of hatred generated by the Far Left and the obsession with DEI . Failing to name all the crew also – in American minds – grates – because the mixture of openness and blame – particularly with such a huge event …
And not so much with the Mexican private jet suddenly falling from the sky ….

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse that involves manipulating someone into doubting their own reality. It’s often used in intimate relationships to gain power and control over the victim.
Found the Yellowstone prequel ‘1923’ with Harrison Ford this weekend. How can it not be good with Harrison in it ?.
First episode was fine. Finally they stopped pushing the woke agenda I thought.
How wrong I was : they did that to get you watching then hit you full on with it in the second. God know what idiots they have writing this stuff now : I doubt they have ever been further away from city life than a Starbucks they stopped at once.
The most ridiculous part was when woke whitey hero man pulled a double-barrel shotgun on a pale-and-stale racist whitey doctor because he didn’t say ‘I’m sorry’ to him when he learned his Nigerian ‘helper’ got killed by a leopard. And even then the doctor kept avoiding to say it until he fired the shotgun to the side of his head then pointed it right in his face.
Every single white person in it (except wokey soon-to-be-the-main-hero) is a full on racist and every ‘indigenous’ is a thoroughly nice person. It’s beyond ridiculous.
Much of the rest was similarly ridiculous. Including a James Bond style hanging where instead of just hanging them, they sat them on their horses with rope around their necks then had to go urgently. Then – of course – the famous one managed to survive and will no doubt become Harrisons arch enemy through the series. I think he is supposed to be an Irish Gypsy immigrant just trying to survive.
At the time of the Washington air tragedy we were watching an accident investigation series on Netflix called ‘Departure’. Seems the old pulling of such things at such times no longer applies on streaming.
We stayed with despite a nonsensical plot and daft backstories, it was well funded and not badly done.
What was inevitably noticeable was almost every baddie bar heroine squeeze and inept men was, well, Christopher Plummer or that guy from the Canadian monsters series or some rugged CEO who may once have been a movie actor too. Except the possibly worse hit man in history.
The heroes were all not them. No trannies though.
Seems there’s another series. I sense an Idris or Lenny in senior role to compensate. And Grayson Perry as Top Willy.

Conclusion ? It’s like listening to an alternative false far left world …
And TTK is off to conspire with his mates in the EU – allowing unrestricted access to the UK by under 30s – so more invaders ….
I watched Bill Gates being interviewed and asked how he could justify flying everywhere on his private jet. His answer was that he paid for ‘gold standard’ (his words, not mine) offsetting. If Bill really believed in climate change wouldn’t he he use all his money to ‘offset’ (whatever that means) and still have all his meetings by zoom.
Sir Elton said he paid for the flight to be carbon offset “to support Prince Harry’s commitment to the environment”.
Carbon offsetting allows passengers to pay extra to help compensate for the carbon emissions produced from their flight. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49398852

Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?

Since 01/09/24 the interest rate spread between Sterling and the German bund has been higher than the peak during the Truss spike. The Truss pimple was “omnishambles” in bBC parlance and day in day out the bBC turned up the volume until she was thrown out. Now the graph is substantially worse and there is not an X from the bBC, no omnishambles noise, not a whisper.
Given the bBC’s involvement in the Truss noise, that there is no noise now is effectively substantive omission.
In a normal country the economic data would be resonating alarms, but not in the UK. The bBC by omission are saying that everything is OK and we are not about to go into economic freefall.
I beg to differ.
Good point NLP…. As the BBC is supported mainly by license fee for anyone who consumes their product. Maybe there is a case for a class action by its customers for refusing to do their job of keeping their customers impartially informed with important and relevant facts and news when they simply decide not to publish sections of it that they simply don’t like as an organisation for political reasons.
After all omission is the greatest form of lie, I have always understood.
“‘Not the ministry of fun’: Troubling issues clatter onto Yvette Cooper’s desk”
In which the BBC has great sympathy not just for Cooper but also the Home Office, who are confronted with multiple issues which could not have been adequately foreseen: “‘Whichever cupboard you open, you know all sorts of terrible things that have been crammed in there for years will fall out.’ That’s how a long-serving former Home Office minister describes working in the department.”
Not so different to the US you might think, but no such understanding for the new lot. After all Trump inherited an administration where everything was running just tickety-boo and is now throwing his weight around and being that most awful of things, ‘divisive’.
Ex-BBC and Data Journalist of the Year writes in the Times: “Idris Elba thinks rounded knife tips would save lives. Is he right?”
“These alternatives aren’t as daft as they might sound. Viners, a 117-year-old British knife manufacturer, launched a range of round-tipped knives five years ago, and they have sold well. And an informal study of chefs in 2005 found no functional need for pointed blades.”

Trump has paused implementation of tariffs on Mexico after the Mexican President agreed to some terms….the BBC is presenting this as a huge victory for….Mexico.
LOl…they literally changed the title of the page as I was copying it…before it was implying Trump had buckled but now it’s a bit more balanced…though the body of the feed is still weighted towards a great Mexican victory…
‘Trump delays new tariffs on Mexico after countries strike border deal ‘
‘Day one of the Trump tariff threat, which comes into force Tuesday, and the President has already scored a massive win. Mexico blinked.
Trump, said the commentators, had gone mad, turning the clock back to the isolationism of the 19th century.
But, lo, what is this? The president of Mexico, a grand lady in her sixties who puts one in mind of Lucille Bluth, delivered a nervous press conference at which she revealed she had spoken with Trump and, following a frank exchange of opinions, the tariffs will now be suspended for a month.
Why? Because Mexico has agreed to a series of migration and narcotics agreements that includes sending 10,000 guardsmen to patrol the border.’
It was always pretty much accepted that Trump was serious but was using the threat of tariffs as a negotiating lever…and the tentative agreement with Mexico illustrates that.
Which makes you wonder why the BBC and the EU were having a nervous breakdown about it….the funniest comment from the EU’s finest was that Tariffs and trade wars are dreadful, unworkable and ruinous…and so we’re going to impose them on the US if they do on us.
Remarkable that Biden imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs along with many other tariffs and there was hardly a murmur from the BBC et al….and then there was Trump…and all hell breaks loose.
Yep….same with the massive fines the EU imposed on Google and Apple which were in essence ‘tariffs’ in all but name…you’re too dominant so we’re going to rein you in.
Oddly when The Tory government wanted to rein in Google suddenly it was a very bad thing…didn’t they want hi-tech investment and jobs?…asked the BBC….not a question they asked the EU doing the same.
Looks like Sweden has gone full fruit loop. They just convicted a bloke for “assisting” with the burning of a copy of the Koran, The bloke who did the actual burning was shot dead by some lovely Muslim fellas who happened by.
What a gruesome twisted message of support this sends to those murderous followers of the Koran.
Looks like Sweden is now run by a bunch of craven cowards who have all but bowed down to the followers of the satanic cult of Islam.
With the bunch of misfits currently running things in the UK I predict that we soon will witness the same madness in high streets near you.
A reader in Bradford recalled asking a West Yorkshire officer on the street that day why the various “Muslim community leaders” weren’t being arrested for incitement to murder. The officer said they’d been told to “play it cool”. The calls for blood got more raucous. My correspondent asked his question again. The policeman told him to “F— off, or I’ll arrest you.” http://www.steynonline.com/6296/the-churchill-bust
If the BBC was called the DBC and was paid for only by deviants then what they try to do to a ‘family show’ would be OK.
But the BBC just stick two fingers up even when they get 1000’s of complaints:
The response said:
We note your concerns that one of the contestants was a drag artist and you say that ‘drag is unsuitable for family shows’. Drag has been an established form of UK entertainment for many years and drag artists have featured prominently on mainstream pre-watershed television for a long time.
Strictly has a tradition of inviting a variety of celebrities onto the show and one of the reasons that Strictly is loved by audiences is because of its inclusivity. Diversity and inclusion is a core part of the BBC and we’re committed to reflecting and representing the diversity of the UK across all of our output.
5 Live was ecstatic…it had found a sinner who repented…apparently.
C4 is running a series of programmes that aims to show us the error of our ways…how everything we know and think about immigration is wrong…that is if you are a critic of mass immigration. The world is terrible and so everyone must be able to come to Britain if they want.
‘New Channel 4 series aims to challenge views on immigration’
‘Six British people with strong positive and negative views on immigration are taking part in Go Back To Where You Came From.
They start their journey in Mogadishu in Somalia and Raqqa in Syria, two of the most dangerous cities on earth.
They then travel to countries on migrant routes through Africa, the Middle East and Europe into the UK, facing scenarios and experiences which continually challenge their views. ‘
5 Live presented it as if they’d all had a revelation and their views had been changed…now pro-immigration…but it’s a complete farce…the programme is gas-lighting and outright propaganda.
The whole premise, that they go to countries where migrants come from and see how bad their lives are and then you’ll agree to have them all come here is nonsense. It’s purely intended to be emotive and generate sympathy rather than an actual look at the effects of migration here.
The programme should be a set of pro-migrant cheerleaders being given a full-fact vision of the effects of mass immigration in Britain and how it is destroying the country and society….explain the crime, the stabbings, the rapes, the drugs, the pickpockets, the scammers, the shoplifters, the housing shortage, why you can’t see a doctor or get into A&E or your kids can’t get into school and when they do they get stabbed, the race riots, the terrorism, the different communities working to destroy British society and reshape it to suit them….ironically to turn it into the sh*thole they or their parents came from.
Probably wouldn’t change their minds…after all we’ve now got so many different types of food…

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has spent tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars on some shocking expenditures.
USAID was established in 1961 to provide money made by Americans to help countries develop abroad.
However, the agency has been shuttered because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have found that the aid being doled out overseas often does not accomplish core U.S. missions, like expanding education and improving infrastructure.
HIV research about transgenders
The Wits Health Consortium, a South African research facility that studies the transmission of HIV among sex workers and transgender people, has received $30 million from USAID since 2018, federal data shows.
Millions to COVID lab in China
The White Coat Waste Project, an anti-animal experimentation group, also uncovered that USAID funded $38 million worth of grants that ended up going to the same lab where COVID-19 is believed to have originated from
Serbian LGBTQ group
Another big ticket item that no longer will receive U.S. funding is a pro-LGBTQ group in Serbia through a group called ‘Grupa Izadji,’ which in English translates to ‘Group Come Out.’
This NGO received $1.5 million from Biden’s administration to ‘advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities, by promoting economic empowerment of and opportunity for LGBTQI+ people in Serbia.’
Electric vehicles in Vietnam
Another one of these costly foreign aid funds approved under Biden’s administration awarded $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam.
Since the huge investment of U.S. taxpayer dollars there has been at least one battery station built, avoiding a total of 260 gallons of gas, according to the USAID website.
Trans care clinics
The agency also helped open TransCare Clinic, an operation established to ‘address ongoing gaps in transgender health care across Vietnam,’ according to a September 2024 USAID press release.
LGBTQ initiatives globally
USAID established in 2023 a LGBTQI+ policy to help advance non-heterosexual objectives around the globe
Operas in Colombia
For example, the State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs approved $25,000 for a opera in Columbia in order to increase ‘transgender representation’ in the arts.
Peruvian trans comic books
The Peruvian trans comic book program received $32,000 under former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, according to federal documents.

Look at the EU it’s been a big big-Tariff-Maker for years
eg imposes a 10% tarrif on US cars , but the rate the other way is 2%
And it has a new plan to super-tariff imports with a new CO2 import tax.
I just looked at Redwood’s Twitter .. He is popular and gets 800 LIkes up to 5,000
Yet tweets TO him seem to be so often from pro-EU accounts that throw bile at him ..constantly telling him to eff off etc.
Yet support for their tweets is very limited, occasionally getting 70 Likes,
Seems the BBC has got a bit interested when kids are killed close to school …
I can’t see how idris can cintribute to reducing knife crime – apart from the coincidence that a lot of knife crime is committed by coloured boys …
I suppose the ‘cause ‘ is pretty easy to identify – no father – mother busy – multiple uncles – no law enforcement (stop search ) plus timid policing – no deterrence – higher status by carrying a weapon – exposure to a lot of online violence …
Add that together and the problem is explained – but no easy solution these woke years
2016 … “Idris Elba is Moving to America Because of ‘Glass Ceiling’ in British TV. London: Movie star Idris Elba urged Britain’s television industry to become more diverse, in a speech at the Houses of Parliament Monday, saying that he had to move to the United States to make it big.19 Jan 2016”
2024 … “British actor Idris Elba has told the BBC that he will relocate to Africa within the next decade as part of his plans to support the continent’s movie industry.23 Oct 2024”
Trump’s tariff talk was Toadily the occupation of the programme. Katya Adler was co-presenting, probably because of the fact that TTK was cosying up to the EU and President Trump was threatening to hit the EU with some of his totally Trump tariffs. 🙂
Designed with artificial intelligence (AI), a new type of asphalt made from biomass waste can mend its own cracks without the need for maintenance or human intervention.
Researchers say…. – panhandling for funds, and along comes a credulous reporter…
lol, muckrack shows me ‘Charlie’ has a track record for being given the articles a monkey could do. Like so many others at the BBC, she lists Yahoo and MSN as her credits.
‘Self-healing asphalt roads could soon offer a solution to the UK’s pothole crisis, according to new research.’
‘Could’. ‘Won’t’. Give it one cycle through a year in the UK and it will need replacing with tarmac.
This is just another publicity release by academics looking for funding. The BBC put a complete idiot on it who simply regurgitates whatever she is told because she doesn’t understand a word of it.
‘Lead researcher and expert in self-healing asphalt at Swansea University, Dr Joe Norambuena-Contreras, said the approach would help the develop net-zero roads as road carbon emissions can largely be linked to asphalt production.’
What complete and utter rubbish. He got more agenda buzzwords in there than an illiterate housewife from Gaza did when the BBC wanted Israel to stop fighting.
‘He has called upon both the UK Government and private sector to invest in the initiative to meet net-zero targets.’
Bingo.
You can tell when these shameless articles are chasing funding because they always have enough information in them so you can contact the one who wants it.
As well as never repairing roads they never talk about the damage of new vehicles. If you put an electric powered tank on the road that is double the weight of existing cars it does 16 times the damage (destruction equal to 4th power of axel weight)
Similarly if you put massive double decker buses on country roads with one comrade passenger this also damages the roads.
Similarly if you have a fleet of vans loaded with shopping driving all over the country instead of folk wandering down to the local shop this also damages the roads.
Don’t get me started on lack of drainage on roads.
lol atlas : we won’t hear of any negative points about electric cars until they want to justify adding more tax to them. Which is immediately after we have no choice but to buy them.
Sky News scrambles for survival amid exodus of viewers.
What a SURPRISE!! –, Copying the BBC comes at steep price!
(excerpt) DT today… Sky News now faces a complete overhaul of its business with a highly uncertain outcome. Rhodes aims to put much of its journalism behind paywalls for the first time and multiply its sources of income.
The likes of CNN, under former BBC director general Mark Thompson, are attempting similar revolutions while making profits. Nobody in the TV news business thinks it will be easy. Sky News, on the clock and in the red, arguably has an even tougher task ahead.
…
The motive is clear. Traditional TV is in retreat as audiences get their news and entertainment online. Advertising revenues have in turn dropped sharply as brands follow the exodus of viewers.
…
Sky is not alone in pursuing subscriptions. Many media organisations have sought to offset dwindling ad revenues through subscriptions. GB News, which has overtaken Sky News for live viewing figures over the last two months, has launched an online paywall in an attempt to stem heavy losses.
…
Since its launch in 1989 as a scrappy challenger to the BBC, Sky News has been a loss-making venture. Sky and then Comcast have always been willing to bear these costs, treating the channel as a marketing investment to boost the brand and pull in subscribers.
They only has to look at SKY in Australia, to see where they went wrong.
Go Woke, Go Broke. UK Sky has made far too much effort copying the BBC format, which is also suffering a dearth of bored viewers and listeners. But the BBC are not worried as they still have the TV license to bail them out and they still have loads of money to waste and spend on DEI, Trans, queers and climate change. All this lot are unemployable in a real world. Even CNN in US (which BBC copies) is struggling with viewers ina TRUMP world, wheer this lot do not fit in any more. Mark Thompson soiled himself when Saville was exposed at the BBC. He ran away (to US) rather than face any UK parliamentary questions, protected by the BBC.
NOT A WORD from the anti Trump mob about his reasons for these tarriffs, ie. drugs and illegals pouring over the US border, and now :
“Canada’s Justin Trudeau caves to Trump’s tariff threat and strikes billion-dollar border agreement.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 30-day pause on swingeing tit-for-tat tariffs and said he would push ahead with a massive round of border security measures after crisis talks with President Donald Trump on Monday.
He said he was deploying new technology and personnel to the border, as well as appointing a fentanyl czar.
‘Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.'”
‘Angela Rayner to set rules on Islam and free speech’
Wonder how that will turn out…as she appoints remoaner Tory Dominic Grieve to chair the advisory council…a willing stooge for a vote hungry willing stooge…
‘He chaired the Citizens’ UK Commission on Islam, which aimed to promote dialogue between Muslim and non-Muslim communities, and wrote a foreword to a controversial all-party parliamentary group’s report in 2018 that set out a definition of Islamophobia, which the Labour Party adopted.’
Amazing how these politicians sell out their country and culture.
Thick gobby trade-union rep who will say anything at all to get what she wants. Which is power. She doesn’t give a shit about those Muslims.
Without conscience and without shame. The female version of John Prescott.
And she calls the Tories scum.
Manchester Police have not only arrested the Koran burner
they have charged him
.. doxxed him : name address DOB published
Despite lefty activists shouting that they ALWAYS name people who are charged, every year I see cases where police omit the name, usually to protect a child etc.(who is not the accused)
.. They also remanded him
So that is a punishment arrest.
The story from Sweden of someone who did the same shows us why they crack down on any anti-Muslim criticism.
They get murdered. Not just here : in Muslim countries across the world. That is the extent of their fanaticism. And that is the path to civil unrest and the increased activity of global terrorist groups.
Stopping anyone upsetting them is the only option we have left.
It’s exactly what Enoch Powell predicted.
100% typical BBC agenda piece : first give a vauge description to set the scene and alarm the reader to predjudice the reader before the article even starts:
‘It is a 900-page policy “wish list”, a set of proposals that would expand presidential power and impose an ultra-conservative social vision.’
Then infer it is actually going to happen – even though Trump has officially distanced himself from it:
‘Here’s your guide to Project 2025, which lays out one vision of how Trump might govern over the next four years.’
What about the other ‘visions’ BBC ?. Why just your alarmist one ?.
Another apallingly lopsided article from the BBC. But the part which caught my eye was this:
‘The document itself sets out four main policy aims: restore the family as the centrepiece of American life; dismantle the administrative state; defend the nation’s sovereignty and borders; and secure God-given individual rights to live freely.’
No wonder the fascist Left are so against it. It is the exact opposite of what they want.
“The teenager who died has been named locally as Harvey Willgoose”
Allegedly, according to locals on social media, a BAME called Omar did it , on his first day back, after being suspended 5 day’s earlier for trying to stab someone with a shard of glass, and causing the school to go into lockdown.
‘She concluded the press conference by urging people to avoid speculation and the sharing of content online “which could be distressing to them [the family] and detrimental to our investigation”.’
But most of all it might confirm what a lot of angry people are wondering.
You can be sure not a single news outlet will leak anything about the murderer if he is indeed called Omar. How does that happen ? – journalists are the lowest form of lying scumbag activist who print plenty of outrageous lies with no concern – so there must be some legal mechanism our government has to shut them all up. I wonder if all the Chief constables get some kind of communication from the government.
I think there must be something less formal than that atlas.
Given on the understanding that they will be left free to peddle their bias without interference as long as they keep quiet when someone from the government ‘suggests’ it.
I didn’t realise the extent of it until I saw some witness being interviewed on Sky news and halfway through he said ‘I know I’m not allowed to talk about that’ when the guy who had done it was BAME. So he had been pre-briefed on what he must not say.
More ultra-empathy agenda-based BBC rhetoric from the apalling Fergal Keane who seems intent to take Bowens crown as the king of stuffing extreme terrorist-supporting, anti-Ewish agenda articles with as much empathy as possible to distract from the fact they are completely unbalanced.
‘Chelsea striker Samantha Kerr called a Met Police officer “stupid and white” during an incident at a police station in south-west London, a jury has been told.’
Now here’s an interesting one.
This is the first time I have EVER seen ANY report on the BBC about anyone being charged with racism against someone white. And I am absolutely certain the police get a lot of it from the enrichment on the streets of Londonistan.
Second, it’s also the first time I have ever seen them report what was said. Usually they hide it behind a terrible sounding label like ‘racist abuse’. Another racist BBC double standard.
Thirdly it just so happens that she is another lesbian. Do any straight people exist in the BBC bubble any more ?.
Of course the BBC also have to tell us the lawyer said:
‘She added: “The words were a comment, however poorly expressed, about positions of power, about privilege, and how those things might colour perception.”‘
Even the lawyer is racist.
It sounds like Samantha is absolutely typical of the BBC’s ‘modern woman’.
I look forward to the result of this : no doubt it will be the softest tap on the wrist.
All I can say is well done PC Lovell for having the courage to make the charge.
In the video you can clearly see how “worried” she was she was being kidnapped… she’s sitting there sneering at the police in between looking at her two mobile phones, after one of them vomitted all over the cab
ajs (great motorcycles, make motorcycles great again) Labour led Bradford wanted a 15% increase in CT but Rayner only allowed them 10%. It is quite hilarious when you read the opening bio of the Labour leader, Susan Hinchliffe.
“My family have lived in West Yorkshire for generations. I was born and brought up in Bradford. Like many people of my generation living and growing up in West Yorkshire, it was my experience of Thatcher’s Britain that drove me into politics and the Labour Party. I saw first-hand the real hardship and lack of opportunities faced by so many people, and it was witnessing the devastation caused by the cruel actions of a Tory Government that cemented my political beliefs and made me the person I am today.”
We appear to have a follower of Margaret Thatcher doing to the people of Bradford what Maggie did. Bringing them some hardship!!!
I had three AJS bikes one after another as a youth. I can still remember that lovely brack, chak, whak exhaust note when I took off each time…. Loved ‘em.
Not too sure if the BBC is covering what musk is doing to USAID – which needs to be renamed federal corrupt agency . He has gone through all the hand outs and had the press Secretary list a few – DEi musicals in Columbia and Eire – building schools in Jordan ….
… if only someone here would publish exactly what UK giveaways are – but of course the Marxist civil service would pronounce it secret ….
I don’t know about you but it shouid just be ‘humanitarian aid ‘ to disasters … in friendly countries …. Not feeding countries as a regular thing ….
Btw – president trump says he had a nice chat with the governor of Canada and Trudeau has made ‘promises ‘ yeah right …
Government to partner with UK financial sector to deliver on the Plan for Change by tackling climate change and driving growth at home.
Minister for Development Anneliese Dodds pays tribute to the UK financial services sector, which “powers jobs and growth across the UK”.
UK Climate Minister Kerry McCarthy said:
This is a historic moment for tackling the climate crisis, with the first bond raising $500 million to accelerate the global clean energy transition and support the flow of climate finance to developing countries.
As part of these efforts, we are proud to celebrate the listing of the Climate Investment Funds’ Capital Markets Mechanism on the London Stock Exchange. This pioneering bond issuance programme not only brings a new financing tool to our market but is facilitating critical investment in sustainable and clean assets.
And Marky -you can get their British state will be the only mug to fully honour the giveaway – all the others promise but hopefully don’t waste their taxpayers’ cash ….

I can start the week off by calling for the BBC to be defunded. They are no longer impartial; the BBC attack President Trump and the BBC attack Bibi Netanyahu but the BBC do not attack Sir Keir Starmer.
Bloody hell, I thought I might have grabbed pole position. Anyway…
There’s a new four part series on the BBC called Miss Austen, all about Jane’s sister, Cassandra. I rather like Jane Austen and I used to enjoy period dramas, but I really should have known better.
It started well enough. Keeley Hawes in a lovely Georgian house, wearing an appropriate dress and being whisked off in a horse drawn carriage. She travels to be at the deathbed of an old friend and arrives soaked and windswept.
“The doctor is with him,” she is told, “but he might allow you a few minutes,” And then the bombshell. Cassandra enters the bedroom of the dying man and sitting beside the sickbed is the doctor…and he’s as black as your bloody hat..I mean, FFS, give us a bleedin’ break…
This endless racial propaganda is as pitiful as it is predictable.
I don’t know why I keep falling for it…
You’re an old romantic Jeff and rightly so, like most of us who went to school in the 50s and 60s, we were taught the classics as they were written, with no indication of the odd person of colour thrown in, as a consequence it jarres our senses when we see a black Ann Boleyn or an Indian David Copperfield, because (accordingly) we should dismiss everything we were taught and become colour blind to appease the diversity crowd. Well, bollocks to that !
It’s now written in stone., from ad agencies to casting companies to the Academy of Dramatic Art in Hollywood that regardless of talent, there has to be a satisfactory percentage of ethnics employed. Manna from heaven for the BBC.
And there we have it Jeff. A disproportionate number of black faces appearing in vintage eras where none were in reality. All judges, chief of police, anyone in authority on American films are now all non white.
Can you remember how old you were when you first saw a non white ? I can’t. Rare as hens teeth on the south east corner of Kent when I was growing up.
An old timer in the village I now live in, told me a tale how in the early 50s he went running off to his Dad because “there was a very black man coming up the lane”. His Dad got his shotgun ready – neither had seen a non white person before.
A couple of people on Twitter mentioned the black doctor
but no screenshot
In episode two we will probably find he is gay and has a husbands
Probably this guy in the trailer

Yes, all true BRISSLES…those were the days…
My dad told me that when he was a lad if he saw a black man, which was incredibly rare, he would “touch them for luck.” Yes, it seems an odd thing to do, but I think it was some sort of superstition that suggested you would come into money. Whether it worked or not…
My old dad should have been around in the times of Dickens, Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Robin Hood, because according to modern TV, Britain was crawling with blacks.
He’d have made a bleedin’ fortune…
I thought it was chimney sweeps you touched for luck. They were ‘black’, but only during office hours.
Yes, that rings a bell. Perhaps that’s where it originated. There were quite a few traditions around Chimney sweeps.
You don’t see them often these days, but with my log burner I have one who visits once a year. He still uses the long brush, but he’s also got a massive vacuum device. It’s all mod-cons.
Maybe next time he’s brushing my flue I’ll give it a try.
Probably get a bunch of fives…
Isn’t it meant to be good luck if there’s a chimney sweep at a wedding?
And wasn’t there once a bloke who hired himself out, dressed up as a sweep, for wedding ceremonies?
I guess central heating put paid to all that…
Jeff: No small children involved? That’s a shame…
Jeff – I gave up -don’t watch the DEI poison anymore – although it could be sickly funny waiting for the first coloured to turn up …. ( always in a ‘good ‘ role of course )
Jeff,
History Debunked. A short YT vid on the subject. And above all, concerning our own, “Most Trusted Broadcaster”:
The Beeb did much the same with a series they made about the notorious case of The Night Stalker. This horrible individual had been prowling the streets of south London, Croydon, New Addington etc, for yonks, breaking into the homes of the elderly, robbing and raping them.
His victims were mainly in their eighties. It must have been incredibly traumatic and and some didn’t survive the ordeal.
In the TV adaptation, Martin Clunes plays the real life detective who finally caught this beast, but about half his fellow CID officers are black, mixed race or Asian.
The final piece of this drama interviewed the real detectives and…guess what…all of them were white. Not a single ethnic to see.
Oh, sorry, come to think of it, there was one real black person involved in this whole deeply unpleasant case.
And that was the actual Night Stalker…
Can we look forward to a BBC production of Othello, where the lead is a white man who does not have, ahem, dark make up?
Or a docudrama about Martin Luther King, with Ryan Reynolds in the leading role?
Nope, thought not.
I have a rule of thumb about watching tv series, basically I regard them as escapism, a couple of hours away from doomed Britannia. It is many years since I watched any recently produced UK show.
I will watch modern series from across Europe as I find there are fewer ethnics and that their presence doesn’t rub my nose in Britains decline as much as it would in a UK series. They are still quite Wokery though.
I watch UK series produced before 2010/2015 where ethnicity and preaching the Woke gospel is less intrusive.
Anything more recent I am very suspicious of and approach with caution. The reason is that I want to avoid being reminded of the dire state of my country and recent TV programmes depress me no end as they ram it down my throat.
Double – maybe it’s age – but the trash put up on Prime just leaves me cold – maybe a couple of films / programmes a month – so no worry if I gave it up – I found Netflix the same – dumped that – apple thing – no need –
I do wonder if the feedback they get will have any effect – particularly now that the US election is allowing the money side of Hollywood to dump the woke DEI stuff ….but I reckon the time lag will be years …
As for the BBC ? Rogue heroes …. Wolf half ? Is that it ?
Tony Martin the farmer has died.
In a perversion of justice he was jailed for murder after defending his own home at night from a burglary by career criminal travellers.
The trial had been carefully choreographed. Public attendance was only via a ticket from a Whitehall address. By astonishing coincidence the public were only travellers and approved journalists. The travellers put on an Oscar deserving performance ‘wracked with grief’. A limp-wristed jury in the peoples republic of Norwich found Martin guilty of murder.
Such was the public outrage having overturned centuries of English common law that Blair even noted his concern.
A BBC poll of laws wanted by the public even voted a ‘Tony Martin’ law into first position. The BBC highly compromised and embarrassed conveniently erased all memory of this poll.
Click to access key-issues-use-of-force-against-intruders.pdf
em the BBC news story bout the Tony Martin poll is still on the BBC website
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3360765.stm
and there is a Guardian article
My own legal research into the issue of, ‘Self-defence’ in the UK led me to examine closely, the legal issues/cases involving Tony Martin. The examination and conclusion exemplifies the principle of not going too far when defending oneself i.e. ‘Over-kill’. Tony Martin did commit murder: he shot one of the intruders in the back while the subject was trying to escape.
Yes, that was a mistake. I’d have shot him in the arse, given him some extra holes.
@G your are wrong cos on appeal the count of murder was reduced to manslaughter.
You can’t just shoot an intruder when they are heading away
but in the heat of the incident you may not have the control you should have.. hence not murder.
Remember it well.
‘Female Black Hawk helicopter pilot in Washington DC aircrash tragedy named
Army captain Rebecca Lobach was former aide to President Joe Biden
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/02/01/female-army-black-hawk-helicopter-named-washington-aircrash/
Blackhawk crash: Why Rebecca Lobach’s name was withheld and the controversy surrounding it
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/global-trends/blackhawk-crash-why-rebecca-lobachs-name-was-withheld-and-the-controversy-surrounding-it/articleshow/117862456.cms?from=mdr
Amazing where you have to go to find some truth these days.
‘Following the incident, former President Donald Trump blamed the military’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hiring policies, bringing scrutiny upon the Blackhawk pilots.’
‘On social media, speculation spread over why Lobach’s identity was withheld. Some users alleged her name was kept secret while her social media accounts were erased.’
‘”They deleted Rebecca Lobach’s social media accounts before releasing her name. It wasn’t to grieve,” one user claimed.’
‘Another post referred to Lobach as a “PART-TIME Blackhawk pilot”, alleging her family had scrubbed her anti-Trump social media posts before the announcement.’
‘Right-wing commentator and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer further fueled speculation, claiming Lobach was a Biden aide who attended Pride events.’
I love it how labels are applied easily to the Right by the media and never to the Left. This ‘conspiracy theorist’ is absolutely right : she was a Biden aid.
And how much of the above information did the BBC give us ?
‘Rebecca Lobach, an aviation officer from Durham, North Carolina, was also on board the helicopter.
She had served in the army since 2019 and also volunteered as a military aide in the White House.’
That’s it. They will not print anything which might infer Trump is right about anything now.
Personally I think comment about dead pilots etc, can wait until their families have had time to grieve.
and she served her country, whatever her politics.
Stew – the problem is the amount of hatred generated by the Far Left and the obsession with DEI . Failing to name all the crew also – in American minds – grates – because the mixture of openness and blame – particularly with such a huge event …
And not so much with the Mexican private jet suddenly falling from the sky ….

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse that involves manipulating someone into doubting their own reality. It’s often used in intimate relationships to gain power and control over the victim.
So he’ll have more police on the streets ignoring black knife crime and targeting concerned far right citizens?
‘Boosting investment’ by TTK means more administrators, DEI flunkies and general dogsbodies.
As for actual policemen and policewomen, nobody will ever see them, even if they do get employed at some stage!

Found the Yellowstone prequel ‘1923’ with Harrison Ford this weekend. How can it not be good with Harrison in it ?.
First episode was fine. Finally they stopped pushing the woke agenda I thought.
How wrong I was : they did that to get you watching then hit you full on with it in the second. God know what idiots they have writing this stuff now : I doubt they have ever been further away from city life than a Starbucks they stopped at once.
The most ridiculous part was when woke whitey hero man pulled a double-barrel shotgun on a pale-and-stale racist whitey doctor because he didn’t say ‘I’m sorry’ to him when he learned his Nigerian ‘helper’ got killed by a leopard. And even then the doctor kept avoiding to say it until he fired the shotgun to the side of his head then pointed it right in his face.
Every single white person in it (except wokey soon-to-be-the-main-hero) is a full on racist and every ‘indigenous’ is a thoroughly nice person. It’s beyond ridiculous.
Much of the rest was similarly ridiculous. Including a James Bond style hanging where instead of just hanging them, they sat them on their horses with rope around their necks then had to go urgently. Then – of course – the famous one managed to survive and will no doubt become Harrisons arch enemy through the series. I think he is supposed to be an Irish Gypsy immigrant just trying to survive.
Not that I will be watching it.
At the time of the Washington air tragedy we were watching an accident investigation series on Netflix called ‘Departure’. Seems the old pulling of such things at such times no longer applies on streaming.
We stayed with despite a nonsensical plot and daft backstories, it was well funded and not badly done.
What was inevitably noticeable was almost every baddie bar heroine squeeze and inept men was, well, Christopher Plummer or that guy from the Canadian monsters series or some rugged CEO who may once have been a movie actor too. Except the possibly worse hit man in history.
The heroes were all not them. No trannies though.
Seems there’s another series. I sense an Idris or Lenny in senior role to compensate. And Grayson Perry as Top Willy.

Gates has admitted being on the lolita express – ‘a mistake ‘ he says .
Conclusion ? It’s like listening to an alternative false far left world …
And TTK is off to conspire with his mates in the EU – allowing unrestricted access to the UK by under 30s – so more invaders ….
Bill has money to give you if you shut up for the sake of the kids!
I watched Bill Gates being interviewed and asked how he could justify flying everywhere on his private jet. His answer was that he paid for ‘gold standard’ (his words, not mine) offsetting. If Bill really believed in climate change wouldn’t he he use all his money to ‘offset’ (whatever that means) and still have all his meetings by zoom.
Sir Elton said he paid for the flight to be carbon offset “to support Prince Harry’s commitment to the environment”.
Carbon offsetting allows passengers to pay extra to help compensate for the carbon emissions produced from their flight.

Naturally the Unilever corporate bumf includes all our familiar left-liberal buzz-themes [my emphases]: Happy People, Happy Planet… Our goal may seem quite simple. We want to create happier moments within the communities where we operate.

Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?

Since 01/09/24 the interest rate spread between Sterling and the German bund has been higher than the peak during the Truss spike. The Truss pimple was “omnishambles” in bBC parlance and day in day out the bBC turned up the volume until she was thrown out. Now the graph is substantially worse and there is not an X from the bBC, no omnishambles noise, not a whisper.
Given the bBC’s involvement in the Truss noise, that there is no noise now is effectively substantive omission.
In a normal country the economic data would be resonating alarms, but not in the UK. The bBC by omission are saying that everything is OK and we are not about to go into economic freefall.
I beg to differ.
Good point NLP…. As the BBC is supported mainly by license fee for anyone who consumes their product. Maybe there is a case for a class action by its customers for refusing to do their job of keeping their customers impartially informed with important and relevant facts and news when they simply decide not to publish sections of it that they simply don’t like as an organisation for political reasons.
After all omission is the greatest form of lie, I have always understood.
“‘Not the ministry of fun’: Troubling issues clatter onto Yvette Cooper’s desk”

Not so different to the US you might think, but no such understanding for the new lot. After all Trump inherited an administration where everything was running just tickety-boo and is now throwing his weight around and being that most awful of things, ‘divisive’.

Trump has paused implementation of tariffs on Mexico after the Mexican President agreed to some terms….the BBC is presenting this as a huge victory for….Mexico.
LOl…they literally changed the title of the page as I was copying it…before it was implying Trump had buckled but now it’s a bit more balanced…though the body of the feed is still weighted towards a great Mexican victory…
‘Trump delays new tariffs on Mexico after countries strike border deal ‘
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8d90v1m6qvt
The Telegraph has a different take…
‘Day one of the Trump tariff threat, which comes into force Tuesday, and the President has already scored a massive win. Mexico blinked.
Trump, said the commentators, had gone mad, turning the clock back to the isolationism of the 19th century.
But, lo, what is this? The president of Mexico, a grand lady in her sixties who puts one in mind of Lucille Bluth, delivered a nervous press conference at which she revealed she had spoken with Trump and, following a frank exchange of opinions, the tariffs will now be suspended for a month.
Why? Because Mexico has agreed to a series of migration and narcotics agreements that includes sending 10,000 guardsmen to patrol the border.’
It was always pretty much accepted that Trump was serious but was using the threat of tariffs as a negotiating lever…and the tentative agreement with Mexico illustrates that.
Which makes you wonder why the BBC and the EU were having a nervous breakdown about it….the funniest comment from the EU’s finest was that Tariffs and trade wars are dreadful, unworkable and ruinous…and so we’re going to impose them on the US if they do on us.
Remarkable that Biden imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs along with many other tariffs and there was hardly a murmur from the BBC et al….and then there was Trump…and all hell breaks loose.
Slamming the Brakes: The EU Votes to Impose Tariffs on Chinese EVs

Oddly when The Tory government wanted to rein in Google suddenly it was a very bad thing…didn’t they want hi-tech investment and jobs?…asked the BBC….not a question they asked the EU doing the same.

Looks like Sweden is now run by a bunch of craven cowards who have all but bowed down to the followers of the satanic cult of Islam.
With the bunch of misfits currently running things in the UK I predict that we soon will witness the same madness in high streets near you.
A reader in Bradford recalled asking a West Yorkshire officer on the street that day why the various “Muslim community leaders” weren’t being arrested for incitement to murder. The officer said they’d been told to “play it cool”. The calls for blood got more raucous. My correspondent asked his question again. The policeman told him to “F— off, or I’ll arrest you.”

If the BBC was called the DBC and was paid for only by deviants then what they try to do to a ‘family show’ would be OK.
But the BBC just stick two fingers up even when they get 1000’s of complaints:
The response said:
We note your concerns that one of the contestants was a drag artist and you say that ‘drag is unsuitable for family shows’. Drag has been an established form of UK entertainment for many years and drag artists have featured prominently on mainstream pre-watershed television for a long time.
Strictly has a tradition of inviting a variety of celebrities onto the show and one of the reasons that Strictly is loved by audiences is because of its inclusivity. Diversity and inclusion is a core part of the BBC and we’re committed to reflecting and representing the diversity of the UK across all of our output.
5 Live was ecstatic…it had found a sinner who repented…apparently.
C4 is running a series of programmes that aims to show us the error of our ways…how everything we know and think about immigration is wrong…that is if you are a critic of mass immigration. The world is terrible and so everyone must be able to come to Britain if they want.
‘New Channel 4 series aims to challenge views on immigration’
‘Six British people with strong positive and negative views on immigration are taking part in Go Back To Where You Came From.
They start their journey in Mogadishu in Somalia and Raqqa in Syria, two of the most dangerous cities on earth.
They then travel to countries on migrant routes through Africa, the Middle East and Europe into the UK, facing scenarios and experiences which continually challenge their views. ‘
First episode is tonight…
https://www.channel4.com/programmes/go-back-to-where-you-came-from
5 Live presented it as if they’d all had a revelation and their views had been changed…now pro-immigration…but it’s a complete farce…the programme is gas-lighting and outright propaganda.
The whole premise, that they go to countries where migrants come from and see how bad their lives are and then you’ll agree to have them all come here is nonsense. It’s purely intended to be emotive and generate sympathy rather than an actual look at the effects of migration here.
The programme should be a set of pro-migrant cheerleaders being given a full-fact vision of the effects of mass immigration in Britain and how it is destroying the country and society….explain the crime, the stabbings, the rapes, the drugs, the pickpockets, the scammers, the shoplifters, the housing shortage, why you can’t see a doctor or get into A&E or your kids can’t get into school and when they do they get stabbed, the race riots, the terrorism, the different communities working to destroy British society and reshape it to suit them….ironically to turn it into the sh*thole they or their parents came from.
Probably wouldn’t change their minds…after all we’ve now got so many different types of food…

The firm will pay $1.9m (£1.5m) to 56 current and former workers who claim they were victims of sexual harassment, or about $34,000 each.
They will also get nearly $11,000 each as part of a class action involving 485 people who claimed discrimination.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has spent tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars on some shocking expenditures.
USAID was established in 1961 to provide money made by Americans to help countries develop abroad.
However, the agency has been shuttered because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have found that the aid being doled out overseas often does not accomplish core U.S. missions, like expanding education and improving infrastructure.
HIV research about transgenders
The Wits Health Consortium, a South African research facility that studies the transmission of HIV among sex workers and transgender people, has received $30 million from USAID since 2018, federal data shows.
Millions to COVID lab in China
The White Coat Waste Project, an anti-animal experimentation group, also uncovered that USAID funded $38 million worth of grants that ended up going to the same lab where COVID-19 is believed to have originated from
Serbian LGBTQ group
Another big ticket item that no longer will receive U.S. funding is a pro-LGBTQ group in Serbia through a group called ‘Grupa Izadji,’ which in English translates to ‘Group Come Out.’
This NGO received $1.5 million from Biden’s administration to ‘advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities, by promoting economic empowerment of and opportunity for LGBTQI+ people in Serbia.’
Electric vehicles in Vietnam
Another one of these costly foreign aid funds approved under Biden’s administration awarded $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam.
Since the huge investment of U.S. taxpayer dollars there has been at least one battery station built, avoiding a total of 260 gallons of gas, according to the USAID website.
Trans care clinics
The agency also helped open TransCare Clinic, an operation established to ‘address ongoing gaps in transgender health care across Vietnam,’ according to a September 2024 USAID press release.
LGBTQ initiatives globally
USAID established in 2023 a LGBTQI+ policy to help advance non-heterosexual objectives around the globe
Operas in Colombia
For example, the State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs approved $25,000 for a opera in Columbia in order to increase ‘transgender representation’ in the arts.

The Peruvian trans comic book program received $32,000 under former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, according to federal documents.

This is just another publicity release by academics looking for funding. The BBC put a complete idiot on it who simply regurgitates whatever she is told because she doesn’t understand a word of it.
‘Lead researcher and expert in self-healing asphalt at Swansea University, Dr Joe Norambuena-Contreras, said the approach would help the develop net-zero roads as road carbon emissions can largely be linked to asphalt production.’
What complete and utter rubbish. He got more agenda buzzwords in there than an illiterate housewife from Gaza did when the BBC wanted Israel to stop fighting.
‘He has called upon both the UK Government and private sector to invest in the initiative to meet net-zero targets.’
Bingo.
You can tell when these shameless articles are chasing funding because they always have enough information in them so you can contact the one who wants it.
As well as never repairing roads they never talk about the damage of new vehicles. If you put an electric powered tank on the road that is double the weight of existing cars it does 16 times the damage (destruction equal to 4th power of axel weight)
Similarly if you put massive double decker buses on country roads with one comrade passenger this also damages the roads.
Similarly if you have a fleet of vans loaded with shopping driving all over the country instead of folk wandering down to the local shop this also damages the roads.
Don’t get me started on lack of drainage on roads.
lol atlas : we won’t hear of any negative points about electric cars until they want to justify adding more tax to them. Which is immediately after we have no choice but to buy them.
Sky News scrambles for survival amid exodus of viewers.
What a SURPRISE!! –, Copying the BBC comes at steep price!
(excerpt) DT today…
Sky News now faces a complete overhaul of its business with a highly uncertain outcome. Rhodes aims to put much of its journalism behind paywalls for the first time and multiply its sources of income.
The likes of CNN, under former BBC director general Mark Thompson, are attempting similar revolutions while making profits. Nobody in the TV news business thinks it will be easy. Sky News, on the clock and in the red, arguably has an even tougher task ahead.
…
The motive is clear. Traditional TV is in retreat as audiences get their news and entertainment online. Advertising revenues have in turn dropped sharply as brands follow the exodus of viewers.
…
Sky is not alone in pursuing subscriptions. Many media organisations have sought to offset dwindling ad revenues through subscriptions. GB News, which has overtaken Sky News for live viewing figures over the last two months, has launched an online paywall in an attempt to stem heavy losses.
…
Since its launch in 1989 as a scrappy challenger to the BBC, Sky News has been a loss-making venture. Sky and then Comcast have always been willing to bear these costs, treating the channel as a marketing investment to boost the brand and pull in subscribers.

They only has to look at SKY in Australia, to see where they went wrong.
Go Woke, Go Broke. UK Sky has made far too much effort copying the BBC format, which is also suffering a dearth of bored viewers and listeners. But the BBC are not worried as they still have the TV license to bail them out and they still have loads of money to waste and spend on DEI, Trans, queers and climate change. All this lot are unemployable in a real world. Even CNN in US (which BBC copies) is struggling with viewers ina TRUMP world, wheer this lot do not fit in any more. Mark Thompson soiled himself when Saville was exposed at the BBC. He ran away (to US) rather than face any UK parliamentary questions, protected by the BBC.
This is economics of Labour Party quality. They can’t get people to watch it for free so the best thing to do is to charge them. Yeah, that’ll work.
NOT A WORD from the anti Trump mob about his reasons for these tarriffs, ie. drugs and illegals pouring over the US border, and now :
“Canada’s Justin Trudeau caves to Trump’s tariff threat and strikes billion-dollar border agreement.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 30-day pause on swingeing tit-for-tat tariffs and said he would push ahead with a massive round of border security measures after crisis talks with President Donald Trump on Monday.
He said he was deploying new technology and personnel to the border, as well as appointing a fentanyl czar.
‘Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.'”

Tarriffs on France for us ?
‘Angela Rayner to set rules on Islam and free speech’
Wonder how that will turn out…as she appoints remoaner Tory Dominic Grieve to chair the advisory council…a willing stooge for a vote hungry willing stooge…
‘He chaired the Citizens’ UK Commission on Islam, which aimed to promote dialogue between Muslim and non-Muslim communities, and wrote a foreword to a controversial all-party parliamentary group’s report in 2018 that set out a definition of Islamophobia, which the Labour Party adopted.’
Amazing how these politicians sell out their country and culture.
Thick gobby trade-union rep who will say anything at all to get what she wants. Which is power. She doesn’t give a shit about those Muslims.
Without conscience and without shame. The female version of John Prescott.
And she calls the Tories scum.
Manchester Police have not only arrested the Koran burner
they have charged him
.. doxxed him : name address DOB published
Despite lefty activists shouting that they ALWAYS name people who are charged, every year I see cases where police omit the name, usually to protect a child etc.(who is not the accused)
.. They also remanded him
So that is a punishment arrest.
The story from Sweden of someone who did the same shows us why they crack down on any anti-Muslim criticism.
They get murdered. Not just here : in Muslim countries across the world. That is the extent of their fanaticism. And that is the path to civil unrest and the increased activity of global terrorist groups.
Stopping anyone upsetting them is the only option we have left.
It’s exactly what Enoch Powell predicted.
Project 2025: The right-wing wish list for Trump’s second term
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c977njnvq2do
100% typical BBC agenda piece : first give a vauge description to set the scene and alarm the reader to predjudice the reader before the article even starts:
‘It is a 900-page policy “wish list”, a set of proposals that would expand presidential power and impose an ultra-conservative social vision.’
Then infer it is actually going to happen – even though Trump has officially distanced himself from it:
‘Here’s your guide to Project 2025, which lays out one vision of how Trump might govern over the next four years.’
What about the other ‘visions’ BBC ?. Why just your alarmist one ?.
Another apallingly lopsided article from the BBC. But the part which caught my eye was this:
‘The document itself sets out four main policy aims: restore the family as the centrepiece of American life; dismantle the administrative state; defend the nation’s sovereignty and borders; and secure God-given individual rights to live freely.’
No wonder the fascist Left are so against it. It is the exact opposite of what they want.
“Boy, 15, dies after being stabbed at school”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6276nlqj3go
“The teenager who died has been named locally as Harvey Willgoose”
Allegedly, according to locals on social media, a BAME called Omar did it , on his first day back, after being suspended 5 day’s earlier for trying to stab someone with a shard of glass, and causing the school to go into lockdown.
‘She concluded the press conference by urging people to avoid speculation and the sharing of content online “which could be distressing to them [the family] and detrimental to our investigation”.’
But most of all it might confirm what a lot of angry people are wondering.
You can be sure not a single news outlet will leak anything about the murderer if he is indeed called Omar. How does that happen ? – journalists are the lowest form of lying scumbag activist who print plenty of outrageous lies with no concern – so there must be some legal mechanism our government has to shut them all up. I wonder if all the Chief constables get some kind of communication from the government.
> so there must be some legal mechanism our government has to shut them all up
There is. It is called a D notice. Operating 24/7. Wake up some scumbag judge in Londonistan and poof – the story is gone.
I think there must be something less formal than that atlas.
Given on the understanding that they will be left free to peddle their bias without interference as long as they keep quiet when someone from the government ‘suggests’ it.
I didn’t realise the extent of it until I saw some witness being interviewed on Sky news and halfway through he said ‘I know I’m not allowed to talk about that’ when the guy who had done it was BAME. So he had been pre-briefed on what he must not say.
A D notice isn’t really viable now that anybody can post the details online within seconds.
Labour to ban “shard of glass” and all glass objects.
Seems travel to Egypt to be banned as chavs are going there to wait in the desert for a meteorite to fall.
BBC joins Gazan girl, 2, on leg of trip to Jordan for life-saving treatment
https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cn4m8dv1kx8o
Why ?.
More ultra-empathy agenda-based BBC rhetoric from the apalling Fergal Keane who seems intent to take Bowens crown as the king of stuffing extreme terrorist-supporting, anti-Ewish agenda articles with as much empathy as possible to distract from the fact they are completely unbalanced.
Striker called PC ‘stupid and white’, court hears
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8xqyrlpnl4o
‘Chelsea striker Samantha Kerr called a Met Police officer “stupid and white” during an incident at a police station in south-west London, a jury has been told.’
Now here’s an interesting one.
This is the first time I have EVER seen ANY report on the BBC about anyone being charged with racism against someone white. And I am absolutely certain the police get a lot of it from the enrichment on the streets of Londonistan.
Second, it’s also the first time I have ever seen them report what was said. Usually they hide it behind a terrible sounding label like ‘racist abuse’. Another racist BBC double standard.
Thirdly it just so happens that she is another lesbian. Do any straight people exist in the BBC bubble any more ?.
Of course the BBC also have to tell us the lawyer said:
‘She added: “The words were a comment, however poorly expressed, about positions of power, about privilege, and how those things might colour perception.”‘
Even the lawyer is racist.
It sounds like Samantha is absolutely typical of the BBC’s ‘modern woman’.
I look forward to the result of this : no doubt it will be the softest tap on the wrist.
All I can say is well done PC Lovell for having the courage to make the charge.
This is how the woke sites are reporting it:
‘Sam Kerr thought she was being kidnapped. Minutes later, she was arrested.’
https://www.mamamia.com.au/sam-kerr-trial/
Video and article link above, from a while ago.
In the video you can clearly see how “worried” she was she was being kidnapped… she’s sitting there sneering at the police in between looking at her two mobile phones, after one of them vomitted all over the cab
Millions face council tax rise of more than 5%

Promotion for price increases brought to you by the government mouthpiece. You will pay up, thats it
Councils paint zebra crossings rainbow to end the hate against paying big council bills.
ajs (great motorcycles, make motorcycles great again) Labour led Bradford wanted a 15% increase in CT but Rayner only allowed them 10%. It is quite hilarious when you read the opening bio of the Labour leader, Susan Hinchliffe.
“My family have lived in West Yorkshire for generations. I was born and brought up in Bradford. Like many people of my generation living and growing up in West Yorkshire, it was my experience of Thatcher’s Britain that drove me into politics and the Labour Party. I saw first-hand the real hardship and lack of opportunities faced by so many people, and it was witnessing the devastation caused by the cruel actions of a Tory Government that cemented my political beliefs and made me the person I am today.”
We appear to have a follower of Margaret Thatcher doing to the people of Bradford what Maggie did. Bringing them some hardship!!!
Labour hypocrites.
I had three AJS bikes one after another as a youth. I can still remember that lovely brack, chak, whak exhaust note when I took off each time…. Loved ‘em.
Not too sure if the BBC is covering what musk is doing to USAID – which needs to be renamed federal corrupt agency . He has gone through all the hand outs and had the press Secretary list a few – DEi musicals in Columbia and Eire – building schools in Jordan ….
… if only someone here would publish exactly what UK giveaways are – but of course the Marxist civil service would pronounce it secret ….
I don’t know about you but it shouid just be ‘humanitarian aid ‘ to disasters … in friendly countries …. Not feeding countries as a regular thing ….
Btw – president trump says he had a nice chat with the governor of Canada and Trudeau has made ‘promises ‘ yeah right …

This is a historic moment for tackling the climate crisis, with the first bond raising $500 million to accelerate the global clean energy transition and support the flow of climate finance to developing countries.
As part of these efforts, we are proud to celebrate the listing of the Climate Investment Funds’ Capital Markets Mechanism on the London Stock Exchange.
