These must be all those doctors, dentists, and nurses who were working from home (on a week day).
TV ad showing black guy at doctors with sniffly nose saying I can’t understand how I got it….. cut to small white girl wiping nose and sniffing while eating nuts from same plate as black guy…..
Just imagine the fucking outcry if you were to reverse the situation with white guy and little black girl….
This one instance tells you all you need to know about how twisted the whole race thing is in this country and probably most of the western world and the great and good.
It’s just an anti white crusade but for what end result and for what purpose?
I think it’s just a fashionable “ right on” attitude by a group of white self indulgent twatoes.
I don’t even think it’s a black on white fight, it seems to be more of a twat twisted white on normal white thing.
Ad-land is brimming with mendacious shits
digg
In my opinion racism- which of course CAN only mean white on black racism- is just another psychological weapon in Big Brother’s arsenal to be used against all white patriots.
The BBC is the Left arm of Big Brother.

This from the South Coast (Worthing).
I actually worked with this creature for a year. He would book time off in 2024 for various reasons (Work Visa/Health), he was actually travelling to deal with his appeal in order to stay in the UK after he stabbed his mother and six year old brother to death in 2012.
He left Bulgaria after serving just seven years and lied to get in the UK in 2019, concealing his awful crimes.
When it was revealed what he had done,and efforts were made to deport, he was allowed to appeal and still work at the company we worked for.
The judge knew his crimes and ruled he was not a threat to public safety.
Fortunately, he lost his appeal. However, I am still trying to find out if this has happened yet or if he is in a secure immigration centre or similar facility. Anyone, local to Worthing/Lancing got any info?
The animal in question circa 2012.
Hostages freed and prisoners released in latest ceasefire exchange
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g9vyz747eo
‘The three hostages – Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami and Or Levy – were handed over to the Red Cross on Saturday morning before reuniting with their families in Israel.’
‘Concerns have been raised about their wellbeing, with Mr Sharabi’s family – who live in the UK – describing their shock at his “gaunt” appearance.’
No doubt about their appearance. But will the BBC leave this challenge to the integrity of the terrorist group Hamas unbalanced ?.
Nope : of course not. Straight away we get:
‘Returning Palestinian prisoners were greeted with scenes of celebration at Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.’ ‘Representatives claimed they all needed “medical care”, without giving specifics.’
So that’s 183 prisoners released and they ALL needed ‘medical care’. Rubbish. It’s another obvious lie to shift the focus to Israel. And the BBC are right in there to help them.
But note the very careful wording by the BBC : ‘without giving specifics’.
It implies it’s true but we haven’t been told the details. If it suited their agenda, the BBC would write ‘without providing evidence’ instead which implies it’s false.
To date, I have only ever seen ‘without providing evidence’ used against Putin and right-wing politicians. Never against the Left or their protected ‘victim’ groups.
For some reason, this report is by the BBC’s Mallory Moench in the USA who’se daytime job is writing TDS pieces and who – like all the others – lists Yahoo and MSN on her CV.
Provisional trial date set for teen murder accused
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn4zpyq019lo
‘Judge Jeremy Richardson KC, Recorder of Sheffield, warned journalists in court to be “very, very careful” as to not publish anything that could prejudice a trial.’
Why would knowing who some violent scumbag who murdered someone else in cold blood is predjudice a trial ?.
More suppression by our racist, fascist state.
It all points in one direction.
They know a lot of the population are beyond sceptical about the judiciary’s role in what’s happening at the moment – power drunk judges putting themselves beyond criticism…
For sure, there are reasons related to law – but this has the aura of a threat issued by somebody intent on creating fear and paranoia for political purpose.
One might think that simply nicking people who break the law and allowing that to be reported might be enough… – but as we’ve now seen this is a power game and f-all to do with justice.
Thank God for the BBC…..how would we navigate the world without its sage advice and religious aversion to Trump?
Trump is proposing to bring back the plastic straw….The BBC’s Any Questions demands to know…
‘What should the rest of the world do?!’
Suck it up I suppose.
Geoff Norcott was heavily outnumbered on The News Quiz as he battled Canute-like the tidal wave of anti-Trump bollocks that washed over us.
The Telegraph proves that you can have a right-leaning satirical take on the news…if you want to….
‘Way of the World is a twice-weekly satirical look at the headlines aiming to mock the absurdities of the modern world.’
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02/07/kitchen-knives-rounded-tips-knife-crime-labour/
‘Yes, the actual Home Secretary is seriously weighing up a plan to end knife crime – by requiring all kitchen knives to have a rounded tip.
You might have expected such a senior minister – or, indeed, anyone with an IQ greater than a pot plant’s – to say, “No, of course I’m not considering this mind-bendingly fatuous proposal, for reasons that shouldn’t need stating. ‘
Of course a path taken after the Black Idris Elba on the BBC declared we must only sell kitchen knives with rounded tips…but maybe there’s actually more going on…
‘After all, few modern politicians are comfortable talking about absent fathers, bad parenting and the collapse of the traditional family, because it might make them sound horribly judgmental. And they don’t want to talk about the state’s abject failure (or unwillingness) to enforce the laws against marijuana, because that might make them sound awfully fuddy-duddy. And they especially don’t want to talk about statistics that suggest some groups commit more knife crime than others. Although of course such figures can only mean that our justice system is racist, anyway.’
How about the unbearable Whiteness of being?…
‘Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, was of course quite right to rebuke a member of NHS staff for boasting of her “anti-whiteness”. It’s bad enough when academics spout this type of divisive, trendy rubbish. But it’s downright bizarre to hear it from, of all people, a medical professional. Is whiteness now considered an illness?
If so, I’m not looking forward to my next GP appointment.
“Well, Mr Deacon, we’ve got the results of those tests, and I’m afraid it’s bad news. I’m sorry to say that you’re suffering from a severe case of whiteness.”
“Whiteness? Golly. I don’t know what that is, but it sounds awful. What are the symptoms?”
“Brutally colonising foreign lands, enslaving their rightful owners, exploiting their natural resources for your own selfish gain, and generally bearing responsibility for all of the world’s most appalling injustices, both historically and in the present day.”
“Oh dear, doctor, this is terribly worrying. Is there anything I can do?”
“Yes. Apologise, all the time. And give away all your money.”’
Or triggered by trigger warnings….
‘To avoid any possible risk of distressing its students, the University of the West of England has placed more than 200 trigger warnings on the works of Shakespeare. Very kind and inclusive, I’m sure. All the same, I’m puzzled by the one for The Tempest. Because it warns students that the play features “extreme weather”.
I can’t help feeling that students will already have gleaned this fact from the clue in the title. Which makes it the most superfluous trigger warning since the University of Aberdeen informed students that Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Kidnapped “contains depictions of kidnapping”.
Perhaps there should be trigger warnings on weather forecasts.
“The following programme contains scenes of a depressing nature…”’
So much nonsense in the world and the BBC can only find the stuff with ‘Trump’ in it.
Very selective reporting by the BBC as a Labour minister is sacked for undiplomatic remarks…..the BBC tells us as little as possible…
‘In messages seen by the Mail on Sunday, Gwynne said he hoped a 72-year-old woman would soon be dead after she wrote to her local councillor about bin collections.’
The Telegraph reports what he actually said…
‘When the councillor shared the letter in the group chat, Mr Gwynne proposed the following response: “Dear resident, fuck your bins. I’m re-elected and without your vote. Screw you. PS: Hopefully you’ll have croaked it by the all-outs.”’
The BBC also tells us that…
‘Gwynne also reportedly posted sexist comments about Angela Rayner, and racist remarks about Labour MP Diane Abbott.’
No actual quotes though? Just how bad were the comments? How racist?
The Telegraph tells all…
‘According to reports, Mr Gwynne also shared lewd jokes about Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister.
In 2021, he circulated a tweet that mocked Ms Rayner for claiming wireless headphones on expenses.
The tweet read: “I don’t see what the problem is. It’s literally impossible to give a blow— while wearing wired headphones. Anyone with a similar background to Angela would understand this.”
He also appeared to mock Diane Abbott, the veteran Labour MP, in the WhatsApp group. In October 2019, when Ms Abbott became the first black person to stand at the despatch box during Prime Minister’s Questions, he reportedly told the chat it was “because it’s Black History Month apparently”.’
What’s missing is another comment he made…about a Jew…
‘He appeared to mock the Jewish surname of one public figure. When other members of the chat asked if Marshall Rosenberg, a conflict resolution expert, would be present at a local Labour party meeting, Mr Gwynne reportedly said: “No. He sounds too militaristic and too Jewish. Is he in Mossad?”’
Odd that the BBC didn’t mention that comment….or not odd at all.
If it had been a Reform or Tory there would have been lurid reports of every word and then a trawl through decades of twitter and other social media to find more incriminating evidence…but a Labour minister? Not really that interested at BBC Towers.

And nobody even mentions the doctor!
Shurely Verify should investigate, after all, the kids there have just taken their ‘O’ levels in English Lit!
I particularly like the electric doorbell, but am disappointed that Miss Austen is not tootling around her estate in a Nissan Quashqai.

So, shortly after this happened: Sir Keir Starmer Makes Secret Visit To Southporton Thursday morning, just a day after his government ruled Rudakubana’s anti-terror case was ‘closed prematurely’. Speaking to Talk, one local said the prime minister visited a sixth form college, where half the school was cordoned off and Range Rovers blocked the streets. Downing Street did not deny the Prime Minister’s whereabouts when asked by Talk. Talk TV’s Isabel Oakeshott says: “Cosy little secrets to keep Downing Street happy.” (You Tube)
No talking out of school, eh?
Getting all their ducks in a row
Well, No10 had to make sure they got the families on board with their approved PR lines.
My favourite is this one: “Somebody’s stabbed the kids.” (BBC) – Somebody… well, quite.
Our BBC headline with this one: Southport families criticise sentencing being shown on TV (BBC)
Least said, soonest mended, eh Starmer?
The families also said the sentencing of the man who killed them should not have been televised as they wanted the girls to be remembered for their personalities not what happened to them… said there was too much detail about the girls’ injuries during the sentencing hearing, which was broadcast live on news channels including the BBC… “We know it has to be heard in court but why did the whole nation need to see it on television?” (BBC)
Be fair, Sir Keir, you got the bloke to plead guilty which shortened the trial by about 95% – what more do you want – closed doors “in camera” no jury secret trials in future?
Our BBC are keen to talk about: In October, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited Southport to deliver messages of thanks to the victims’ families and the emergency workers. (BBC)
No mention of Two-Tier Keir’s recent secret visit and what might have been said and/or agreed between No10 and the families apropos what they would tell the media – although we can guess…
The families welcomed plans, announced on 21 January by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, for a public inquiry into the stabbings. (BBC)
Regime central Sunday Times picks up the approved semi-lyrical line – a line almost as contrived as the formerly familiar “Don’t look back in anger”: ‘We’re constantly looking for light in the darkness’… two Southport families give their first interview
There’s no shade on the families – full sympathy to them – it’s not their fault the regime is busy manipulating their loss into something tragically random, all reasons for and details of are best kept anonymised and swept under the compliant media carpet.
1 the Southport thing would have been done to deflect from the 15 second visit and off to a party
2 the second visit was a good photo op for election footage of ‘kind TTK ‘
3 as for the views of the parents – I believe the views of next of kin are most important – particularly in this case . And national TV will have achieved nothing – the initial ‘hate’ was caused by the cover up .
4 more distressing is that the monster will have recorded the sentencing so he’ll be regularly getting off on the detail of those killings and mass stabbings .
5 he shouid be dead and one day I hope someone does him … because otherwise – give it a few years – he ll be out …
The words “two tier” are often used.
Can anyone make any sense of the following ?
1) “Shocking video footage shows the moment a prolific shoplifter brazenly raids Boots for No7 and L’Occitane products.
Victor Leahu, 32, targeted the store, on Cheapside, in November 2024 and January 2025, stealing goods worth nearly £2,000.
Leahu has been sentenced to ten weeks in prison for five counts of theft and handed a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) barring him from the borough for five years. ”
2) “Mother, 38, who broke sister-in-law’s eye socket by repeatedly punching her during vicious pet store catfight avoids jail.
Carys Wakefield, 38, launched the attack when she bumped into her relative in the dog food aisle of Pets at Home in Barry, South Wales.
A court heard the pair started hurling abuse at each other after crossing paths in the aisles of the store. Mr Brown said the victim was left covered in blood after suffering a broken eye socket in the attack at the Waterfront retail park.
She had to undergo surgery which involved having a permanent metal plate fitted in her face.
A number of verbal comments were made to one another and she was pushed by you.
‘Had matters stopped at that point and had the episode ended after a few insults and perhaps even some blows had been traded, arguably you would both have very much been in the wrong. ‘It would have been an unedifying set of behaviour from two middle-aged women who should have known better. But that didn’t happen because rather than walk away you homed in on her and punched her repeatedly to such an extent you fractured her eye socket.’
Wakefield, of Barry, was sentenced to one year and five months custody suspended for two years.”
Kids = get out of jail free ?
You never saw that in Gavin & Stacey.
I see everyone else is putting up the pictures of the released hostages next to what they used to look like before Hamas mentally tortured them for 461 days.
The BBC of course put the ‘original’ picture well down the page so you have scrolled the gaunt ones off the screen by the time you see them and thus cannot compare the two directly.
Accidental ?. Of course not.
I look forward to the harrowing, empathy-laden, lengthy articles from Jeremy Bowen and Fergal Keane describing every painful detail of the experiences they went through as terrorist hostages.
I also look forward to winning the lottery jackpot two weeks on the trot. The odds are about the same.
This is why those two shameless activists disgust me so much. They don’t care one bit about the hostages.
It’s a real shame the IDF take terrorists alive …
“Trump directs Secret Service to give him ‘every bit of information’ about his attempted assassins: report. The president says he’s ‘entitled to know’ everything about the attempts on his life.
“I want to find out about the two assassins,” the president told the New York Post Friday. “Why did the one guy have six cellphones, and why did the other guy have [foreign] apps?”
Trump told the Post the Secret Service had been holding back information because of President Biden. “
Tech journalist Kara Swisher and NYU professor Scott Galloway, who host the podcast “Pivot,” said in a recent episode they want to see Democratic governors arrest DOGE employees, claiming the team is attempting a coup.
While acknowledging DOGE has the authority to conduct actions ordered by President Donald Trump, Swisher said she didn’t like that the team included many young professionals, whom she called “children” and “arrogant little pr—s.”
“These idiots, these children, these arrogant little pr—s – come in and say, ‘We’re going to call the federal marshals, or the President has ordered you to step aside,” Swisher said of DOGE sweeping into more than a dozen federal agencies.
DOGE was launched to root out wasteful spending in the government and has nearly closed the entire U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Galloway added he wanted to know the names of the employees so Democratic governors could do “everything in [their] power” to “put them in prison.”
“I think what [they are] doing is trespassing,” Galloway told Swisher. “I think this is a coup. … Just because [an] insurrectionist was elected, I don’t believe this is legal. … I’m going to hold the people accountable who are trespassing and a part of a coup accountable.”
However, Galloway advised going “full gangster” and tracking down where the federal employees live.
“Here are their names, here are their faces,” Galloway said. “And we have contacted the local authorities where these kids live, these young adults, and we are going to hold them accountable.”
Musk wrote on X that Galloway and Swisher were “threatening talented, young software engineers.”

Pure racist hate.
That would make front page BBC news if it suited the agenda.
I don’t often agree with David Lammy, in fact I think he’s an utter buffoon, but yesterday I actually cheered something I thought he’d said…and then I realised I had misread a very pertinent word…
I thought that the gormless great lumpen halfwit was calling for “repatriation” for West Indians. Of course, the useless fat grifter want “reparations” for “his people”.
Actually, I believe the people who should receive reparations are those of us native British people that have seen our country infested with backward, lazy, dangerous, uncivilised third world complaining scum.
I’m old enough to remember this country as it used to be. It was a much more peaceful, homogenous and happy place than the dystopia that our masters have created for us.
They’ve turned the Garden of Eden into a multicultural dumping ground.
So, if these overfed parliamentary parasites want to talk about “reparations” they can start with us. Though, there is one very serious problem.
They couldn’t possibly pay us enough…
When you remember such Foreign Secretaries as Sir Alec Douglas-Home and Lord Carrington, who were honourable statesmen of their time, and then see Lammy sitting in the same desk as the these good men, it’s heartbreaking to know that this clown is supposed to be doing the same job…
In fact, it’s unimaginable, but shows the rotten state of the nation you and I can easily recall, Jeff!
The Big Beasts of the parties are long gone. Those who served in the military – did “their bit” for their country in the war , or knew how to run a business, have been replaced by a load of limp wristed lettuce leaves who snack on Greggs sausage rolls (judging by the obesity levels on the benches) and have no life experience except Google.
Seriously, apart from the 4 top places, how many came name others around the Cabinet table?
Yes, David Lammy being appointed Foreign Secretary when he knows FA is quite stunning…
On occasion I come across old editions of Question Time and the difference to today’s version is really startling.
All of the participants are grown ups, treating each other with respect and making coherent arguments.
The chairman is Robin Day, who is erudite, tough and scrupulous and the audience sit and listen to the answers without whooping or cat-calling.
QT these days is just a puerile political pantomime, with people like Nigel Farage wheeled on just to be heckled, interrupted and to play the part of the ugly sister.
Whereas, we all know that part should really be reserved for Emily Thornberry…
Jeff
Well. There we have it. My Lammy does not consider the British to be “his people” so why the hell is he part of the British Government?
Were the voters conned into voting for someone who does not consider himself to be British. I think they should be told.
Boy, 16, found guilty of killing former friend
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98yr0gvnljo
Anyone see this on the BBC news page at all ?. I certainly didn’t.
Another brief, basic facts only article which is standard when young enrichment boys kill other young enrichment boys.
Here’s what the BBC say:
‘She said the defendant called and said “I think I just killed Pharrell”, and that he had stabbed him “in the heart by accident” when he had intended to stab his leg.’
‘The defendant had claimed Pharrell had “pulled a knife out of his sock” and went to attack him.’
‘He had said he was “terrified” he was going to die and had acted in self-defence to stop him.’
Here’s what the police said but the BBC chose not to tell us:
‘Detective Chief Inspector Kelly Allen, who led the investigation, said: “The evidence we gathered disputed the defendant’s account that he grabbed the multi-tool and delivered a fatal blow to save his life. When the defendant became in possession of that weapon he had a choice. He could have walked away, he could’ve thrown the multi-tool to the floor. Instead, he chose to stab Pharell in the heart.”‘
‘CCTV footage captured the defendant entering the park, putting his hood up, and later chasing Pharell while holding the knife. The weapon was later recovered and forensically linked to both teenagers.’
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/teen-guilty-murder-east-london-pharell-garica-met-police-crime-b1209850.html
Lies by omission in the extreme to protect their agenda once again from the BBC.
Here’s who got killed. It’s pretty certain the killer doesn’t look that much different:
They BIG issues for all these recent stabbings is how they are all by boys too young to be legally identitifed. Yet the BBC don’t want to talk about that at all. They would rather we ignore it because it’s ‘not helpful’ to the agenda.
This is the reality of ‘enrichment’.
BBC Editorial guidelines are very strict. If variable.

“Family says”?
The man looks like he walked out of Auschwitz. He’s skin and bones. This is a FACT, not a claim.
They absolutely look like Auschwitz survivors.
You can be sure the BBC will never mention that.
These are the people the BBC (+ the rest of the scumbag Leftist media + the UN) support and protect. They disgust me beyond words.
Yes – just two weeks since all that false sadness about the liberation of auzwitch ( spelling ) but in reality the far left / Muslim management of the BBC would applaud the nazis …. And fill the trains …
Auschwitz.
X post above also says:
“Defund the fucking BBC.”
Amen to that and apologies to fedup for quoting the language.
Atlas – thank you for the consideration – my standards have slipped recently due to personal anger and frustration about the destruction of Britain – editorial note –
No C word please ….
Put down the bong
tomo, what?! Smoking hash in the Senate???

Reparations…
you want reparations?
Paging Dianne Abbott
I anticipate that the story about the ‘fired ‘ Marxist MP – Andrew Gwynne will be well off the news by now …. And a lot of Marxist MPs will be checking and wiping their social media as a result .
Next time Andrew – unless you are just a fool – don’t go on the social thing when you’ve take powder or booze …
He ll sit on the naughty step for a while – in a couple of months he ll be fed a PMQ to say how great TTK is – and then he’ll get a little job and then a bigger one … before getting hooked in 2029 with the rest of the Marxist TTK fans …
Old the benefits junkies and the Muslim invaders will be voting for the reds
I heard about it on Smooth’s 11am news.
https://fortuneandfreedom.com/ai/is-this-britains-elon-musk-er-no/
His argument is “Public sector employment can never increase productivity. At best, it can only make it less unproductive. And that’s at best. But it can never make the economy more productive.”
Not entirely true
I reckon families where the mother stays at home
can indeed be more productive than ones where the mothers goes out to work.
The government is like a stay at home mother
But if half the family are stay at homes.. the other half struggle to earn enough cash to support all.
Stew – I guess it’s what the definition of ‘productivity ‘is . And I know it’s not really BBC but I can’t see how the TTK argument about throwing money at the NHS increases national productivity .
Im with Elon in shrinking the public sector – NHS – local councils – small state – but then im out of my time – I would even bother teaching kids who don’t want to be at school and state education would be ‘ basic ‘… but throwing resources at clever eager kids …
Most of the public sector (read bureaucrats) are highly resistant to volunteering actual value delivered and the quality of same …
They mark their own homework, the general principle is that process overrides delivery and any fashionable fad that comes down the tracks is wallowed in to the nth degree – and almost always pushes away from the actual tasking as described on the label. The indulgence of utter incompetence is cultivated – what to do?
The occasional purge seems to be an absolute requirement since self evidently, the responsible stewardship of communal assets it a stretch too far for many people.
When I contribute to a communal fund to do communal things I expect those things to get done, an done in an efficient, transparent manner – maybe I’m deluded – but surely, the public sector can do a decent job?
Then there’s stuff like USAID – I don’t think the UK’s swamp is any better – but it’s better hidden and protected here…. The BBC is up to its neck in protecting the UK bureaucratic swamp and most media is centrally controlled.
Tomo – if it becomes a repeat IMF job because the ability of the Marxists to borrow -dries up – then with a bit of luck a lot of pain will fall on public jobs .
Personally I cannot wait . The prediction for this happening in mid 2026 as taxes rise – receipts fall and inflation stays high .
TTK will be okay as he can blame ‘ the markets ‘ although it might be tricky to bumble on about ‘black holes ‘ and the dead blue party then …
Immigration and World Poverty Explained with Gumballs
The United States tends to bring in immigrants from the better off poor of the world instead of those living in extreme poverty, as measured by per capita GDP data from the World Bank. Academic works on international migration trends demonstrate that the “poorest of the poor” cannot afford to migrate and poorer countries tend to lose their better educated and more prosperous citizens to the developed world.
According to DHS, the largest share of people living in the United States in 2009 who had been born in another country was from Mexico, 29.3 percent of the total foreign-born population. The second largest group was from China, 5.5%
In 2009, the number of people living in countries with average incomes below Mexico’s was approximately 5.6 billion, according to the World Bank measure of per capita GDP.
The BBC are included.
@Erin_Molan
The world has failed… again.
The reckoning will come… it always does… but what then?
If the Holocaust wasn’t enough to prevent the global ‘buy in’ to October 7 then how the hell will October 7 be enough to stop the next one?
My take on the three hostages just released… and the sh_t show that got us here…
https://x.com/i/status/1888352579954016331
G.W.F Be fair to the BBC. They are all but the Media
partners of Hamas in the UK. So what would you expect
from them.? The BRITISH part of the BBC is just an
oxymoron.
Yes – not much by way criticism for the 1200 murders and 200 plus sausages – yet alone how those just released were treated .
If I was an Israeli I’d want Gaza gone – and no prisoners …
Keep going IDF
And we all know which part of the BBC MORON is.
Andrew Gwen – I was looking at the bio – he became a councillor aged 21 after ‘uni’ and has been at the trough ever since – if you look at some of the corrupt vermin Marxists he worked for – no wonder he shows such distain for ordinary punters – but wishing a 72 year old dead is worth a prize .
Obviously any criminal investigation won’t go anywhere .
Btw – his wife is a councillor as well – so plenty of taxpayers ‘ money coming in ….
Apparently there is another Marxist MP under ‘investigation ‘ – but as I said earlier – they ll have all wiped their views by now ..
Lol….Mr Markle says ‘To heal you need a purpose in life, a feeling of belonging and being part of something much bigger than you…’

“After an initial period of diplomatic ambivalence at the United Nations, China now broadly seeks to reform the UN system from within through its “shared future” global governance vision — an agenda that downplays universal values in favour of championing the primacy of states.”

Black History Month #poem #blackhistorymonth

Funny that Morgan freeman was being interviewed and said – why have a black history month ? There is just black / fhistory – why is there no white history month .
He said the best way to get on was to stop talking about it …. Which sounded about right … I think he voted Trump …

It is time that Great Britain had a government that secured our borders and put our people first .
After all, we have the sea as a natural border !
There’s clearly not enough of it. I vote we move the UK an extra 1000 miles away from mainland Europe.

TWoTWeeee Watch #1 – and it really was weeee with the Noxious Naughtie presenting
BBC big on bashing President Trump for his claims about Ukrainev.Russia and also about Gaza. Noxious Naughtie is one of the most sneery BBC presenters going – I wish he would retire on his inflated BBC pension. I guess as Ed Stourton presented the Sunday programme on R4 that he could not do TWoTWee as well. Can’t have those over-paid BBC presenters working too hard!
From Wiki about Naughtie:
He is a Fellow of the British-American Project, which endeavours to strengthen connections between the US and the UK. What?! By sneering about the President of the United States?

A mostly peaceful weapon of mass spreading.
Garlic press? Potato masher?
France to ban garlic presses to end violent crimes in the UK!
Clearly Sky aren’t bothered about the stabbing in Dublin – doesn’t figure in their top 5 headlines in the 6pm news !

They didn’t hesitate to start preaching the political activism, and it started right away in year seven – as part of our PSHE lessons, we had to write a “Pledge” to LGBTQIA+ students and watch a video in class about what and what not to say to LGBTQIA+ people. After that, we had another lesson in which the word “butch” was labelled as “derogatory” and “a transphobic slur” – even though it’s a word used to describe a masculine lesbian. It’s not a slur and has nothing to do with being “transphobic”. This year – I’m in year 10 – we had another assembly which also denounced the word butch as a slur. This time, I had the confidence to talk to a teacher about it – who quickly dismissed my concerns and simply said they were just following the County Council’s guidance.
they’ll probably know it was me, especially since I expressed a disliking to the term “birthing partner”, which they may have perceived as “transphobic”
I object and am offended by your opening four words, Zephir. 🙁
Starmer released prisoners to make room for his enemies … BBC verified fact.
Asian Ayesha Hazarika on Times Radio talking to a black lovey about the evils of populism and ‘strongmen’…oh…and women…ie Meloni whose election was scary and terrifying. Naturally Trump was also pretty scary as he is just Mussolini reborn….Mussolini wanted to make Italy ‘great again’…case proved.
It’s the same narrative we get from the BBC….with colonial settlers using their position to amplify the message already overblown from the cringing whiteys of the BBC. They are now reinventing history and interpreting current affairs to suit their own racial agendas…as is Lammy of course as he seeks to fill relatives, friends and family’s pockets with British gold.
Pure madness from the MSM and they wonder why no-one takes them seriously anymore.

Innocence of Muslims repeated the claim Muhammad was a paedophile, but the story is more complex and interesting than that
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2012/sep/17/muhammad-aisha-truth
“What’s more, Aisha had already been engaged to someone else before she married Muhammad, suggesting she had already been mature enough by the standards of her society to consider marriage for a while. It seems difficult to reconcile this with her being six.”
The Islamophobic depiction of Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha as motivated by misplaced desire fits within a broader Orientalist depiction of Muhammad as a philanderer. This idea dates back to the crusades. According to the academic Kecia Ali: “Accusations of lust and sensuality were a regular feature of medieval attacks on the prophet’s character and, by extension, on the authenticity of Islam.”

thirteen women
Quick Reference. According to the biographer Ibn Hisham (d. 834), the Prophet Muhammad married thirteen women.

Slaves were owned in all Islamic societies, both sedentary and nomadic, ranging from Arabia in the centre to North Africa in the west and to what is now Pakistan and Indonesia in the east. Some Islamic states, such as the Ottoman Empire, the Crimean Khanate, and the Sokoto caliphate [Nigeria], must be termed slave societies because slaves there were very important numerically as well as a focus of the polities’ energies.
