Start the Week 10th February 2025

BBC in a tricky position now that has been released that Uk taxpayers have been funding part of it through USAID . perhaps that’s a reason why BBC coverage isn’t as comprehensive as it might being mindful of how interested it has been in vilifying Donald Trump ..

    Demons is an allegory of the potentially catastrophic consequences of the political and moral nihilism that were becoming prevalent in Russia in the 1860s.[3] A fictional town descends into chaos as it becomes the focal point of an attempted revolution, orchestrated by master conspirator Pyotr Verkhovensky. The mysterious aristocratic figure of Nikolai Stavrogin—Verkhovensky’s counterpart in the moral sphere—dominates the book, exercising an extraordinary influence over the hearts and minds of almost all the other characters. The idealistic, Western-influenced intellectuals of the 1840s, epitomized in the character of Stepan Verkhovensky (who is both Pyotr Verkhovensky’s father and Nikolai Stavrogin’s childhood teacher), are presented as the unconscious progenitors and helpless accomplices of the “demonic” forces that take possession of the town.

    BBC has been sending threat letters to us recently. We had to move last year and after about 3 months in the new place they started chasing the former tennant.

    Today Mr P answered the door to a tall black fellow with an Asian man accompanying him. He asked “do you live here” ?
    Mr P didn’t answer but asked them “who are you?” The tall man didn’t speak but showed Mr P a TV licensing ID. Mr P Said “No thank you” & closed the door.

    We don’t watch any live TV and I’m not happy with the idea of 2 strange men turning up at my door. If I was on my own I wouldn’t answer to someone I don’t know.

    Why are we giving out aid as if we are a rich country ? we are NOT:

    “Where DOES our aid spending go? See which countries are getting UK cash after Donald Trump moved to scrap US agency that spent overseas.

    At the same time the UK has actually increased its overseas spending. Last week Development Minister Annelise Dodds said the UK’s commitment to international aid ‘remains steadfast’ despite the Trump decision .

    Ms Dodds’ comments followed the publication of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s (FCDO) aid allocations for 2024/25, which saw total spending on official development assistance (ODA) rise to £9.3 billion from £8.1 billion in the previous year.

    Under plans set out in 2023, the previous government had expected the FCDO to spend £8.3 billion on ODA in 2024/25.”

    Find out where the money is going in the graphics below.

    …………….

    Under Labour … HA HA HAH AH AHAH

    ……………..

    The Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time, Hugh Gaitskell, addressed the increasing costs of the NHS in the NHS Act of 1951, which stated:

    New Arrangements for the Supply of Glasses: As from 21st May 1951, a person of 16 years of age and over, and a child in certain circumstances, will be required to pay towards the cost of glasses –

    (i) a sum of £1 per pair (or 10s if one lens only is supplied) and

    (ii) the whole cost of the National Health Service frames he selects.

    This had an immediate effect, with the costs reducing to £11.1 million in 1952, of which only approximately 6 million was from public funding.3

    The reason we are told that the government is going after the farmers is supposed to be because some rich people have bought some land and it’s increasing in value. They then somehow gain from inheritance taxes because they are classed as farmers.

    If this was the real reason for this money grab then two kier starmer could very very easily tax the people not using their land as farmland. It would be so simple to do.
    The thing is, it’s not the reason for the money grab.
    Two kier starmer will cause the young farmers to sell part or all of their farmland so that it will eventually end up covered in windmills, solar panels or be used for accomodation to house the million enrichers arriving each year. It’s usually called ‘student accomodation’

    When Reform take over in ‘29 it will feel like it does now in the USA with Trump taking over.
    Relief.
    Farage will have a huge number of laws to repeal and much to do to undo the damage two kier Starmer is causing.
    So much damage after only a half year, will everything be wrecked after five years?

    It’s a win win for two kier, he gets the money and then the land.

    ‘Soon we’ll be free and ISIS will be revived’: Jihadi brides’ threat to the West as Syrian prison camp guards admit the 40,000 inmates are on verge of freedom and Islamic State could return ‘in just days’

    ISIS families living in Syria’s largest refugee camp have declared the terror group is ‘ready to rise again’ as guards warned the scourge of Islamic extremism could spread through the Middle East and threaten the West ‘in a matter of days’.

    Since the jihadist organisation lost its final stronghold in Syria in 2019, tens of thousands of ISIS fighters and their families have been held in prisons and refugee camps in Rojava – the Kurdish-led autonomous region in northeast Syria.

    The largest of them – Camp Al-Hol – holds almost 40,000 people, many of whom are extremist families who go tent to tent, abusing refugees and indoctrinating their children.

    Now, the instability following the toppling of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime by Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has created fertile ground for a horrifying ISIS resurgence.

    Military officials in Rojava told MailOnline that ongoing clashes between Rojava’s Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Turkish-backed militias may force camp guards to abandon their posts and head to the frontlines.

    Sigh,

    Why can’t we have a leader who has the courage to call out the despots …

    “Elon Musk blasts ‘genocidal lunatic’ South African political figures and condemns country’s ‘openly racist’ policies as Trump cuts aid for ‘racial discrimination’ against white Afrikaners.

    Elon Musk has taken aim at South African political leaders and condemned what he called the country’s ‘openly racist’ policies in a series of posts on X.

    The tech tycoon used his platform to blast Julius Malema, who leads the communist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, labelling him a ‘genocidal lunatic’ as he shared an old video clip in which the politician can be heard telling a crowd to ‘cut the throat of whiteness’.

    Musk, who was born in Pretoria, additionally called for ‘immediate sanctions’ on Malema and for him to be branded ‘an international criminal’ over his ‘Kill the Boer’ chanting in the clip.

    The chant, which refers to white farmers, is rooted in the anti-apartheid struggle and has been defended by rights campaigners as a metaphor rather than a call for ethnic violence.

    However, in recent years Musk and many other commentators have labelled it as incitement to attacks on the country’s white minority.

    Musk previously shared the clip of Malema, which was filmed at a EFF rally and is several years old, back in 2023, writing on Twitter at the time: ‘They are openly pushing for genocide of white people in South Africa.’ ”

      The Expropriation Act was signed into law by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa last month and allows the government to take land in specific instances where it is not being used, or where it would be in the public interest if it is redistributed.

      Musk has repeatedly highlighted the new law in recent social media posts and cast it as a threat to South Africa’s white population.

      The country’s affirmative action laws have deterred him from launching his satellite internet service Starlink there.

      To qualify for the licence, the law requires him to provide 30 per cent of the equity in the project to black-owned businesses – a hurdle he has described as ‘openly racist’.

      President has Cyril Ramaphosa has repeatedly called on Musk to invest in his birth country, but has also said that his government is ‘unequivocal’ on the issue of black empowerment, describing racial inequality as an ‘existential challenge’.

      Writing on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said of the new land ownership law: ‘South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY.

      ‘It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t want to so much as mention.

      ‘A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it, we will act.

      ‘Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!’

    If it’s true that Labour have arrested 3,000 illegal immigrants for deportation then credit where it’s due, well done.
    Of course, this only counts if they are actually deported (and not released on bail which I wouldn’t put past our lefty ‘elite’)

    If we get some kind of prisoner repatriation for our 10,000 foreign prisoners and we agree to take back our prisoners held in foreign jails, will we be getting the Israeli/Gaza exchange rate which is currently 1 Israeli hostage is worth 80 Gaza prisoners meaning we get about 125 Brit lags back for the 10,000 prisoners.

    “Remainer Lord Mandelson performs Brexit U-turn by saying Britain should seize ‘new opportunities’ made possible by historic vote.

    It marks a huge shift in his position having, alongside Sir Keir Starmer, previously campaigned for a second referendum to overturn the 2016 Brexit vote.

    Suggesting that the Government may want to prioritise a trade deal with the US, which has a booming tech and AI sector, he said ‘the alarm bells are sounding’ because Britain and the EU’s economies are stagnating.

    He added: ‘Too much box ticking, compliance, too many costs being piled on. We’ve got to be honest – the EU is going through a very tough period.'”

    Curious than 99.99% of media do not mention the identity of the Dublin slasher….despite it being known….

    ‘Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Minister Jim O’Callaghan said it is understood that the man is homeless and originally from South America.’

    The BBC certainly makes no mention of it despite it being of great public interest given the situation in Ireland [lol…and in every Western nation] right now.

    Here of course is why..the Lefty media’s own desire to silence immigration critics…

    ‘How far-right agitators exploited an information vacuum after the Stoneybatter attack’
    YESTERDAY’S KNIFE ATTACKS in Stoneybatter provided the latest opportunity for racist social media users and fake news outlets, who routinely pounce on any report of a violent incident in Ireland, to spread unfounded claims before the full details have emerged. ‘

    Except of course that’s not true…it was an immigrant…..lol…that inconvenient truth….‘They also referred to the Latin American suspect as “unvetted” [ah…so…he was a foreigner]…. it fits the narrative that Irish racists frequently promote, which attempts to link immigration to crime. ‘

    Not really racists…more fact checkers or fact finders.

    The IRA spent decades fighting British immigrants…if they turned their ire upon more recent immigrants would the BBC also support them as they supported their campaign against the British?

    The IRA were a far-left nationalist organisation that used murder, torture and intimidation to force the issue…that was OK apparently for the BBC…and Diane Abbott….However Nigel Farage saying we must stop the boats etc makes him the nearest thing to Hitler reincarnated.

    The above clip of Tate is a goto for the BBC to explain how misogynist he is…how toxic..how dangerous.

    Oddly, as mentioned previously they forget to say he is Muslim and indeed what he says chimes exactly with what the BBC itself tells us Islam decrees…in BBC Bitesize for children.

    ‘There are several Islamic teachings that place a high value on a mother bringing up her children, whilst men are expected to financially provide.

    Men are the caretakers of women, as men have been provisioned by Allah over women and tasked with supporting them financially. And righteous women are devoutly obedient.’

    ‘According to the Qur’an, Allah made male and female to complete each other. Many Muslims believe this to mean that
    heterosexual relationships are part of Allah’s plan.

    Muslims believe that all humans have been created by Allah from a single soul but there are differing interpretations on the roles of men and women in Islamic worship….“But the men have a degree over them in responsibility and authority,” (Qur’an 2:228).’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmb4qyc#zhtjp9q

    And of course if you’re gay you’re going to Hell…

    ‘Many Muslims believe that those who have sexual relationships which go against Islamic teachings, such as homosexual relationships, will have to answer to Allah on the Day of Judgement.’

    ‘You commit a shameful deed … You lust after men instead of women!”

    Why do you [men] lust after fellow men, leaving the wives that your Lord has created for you? In fact, you are a transgressing people.”’

    The BBC blames social media and people like Tate for young men adopting misogynist ideas…but such ideas are propagated daily in mosques up and down the country..and on the BBC website itself….along with homophobia.

    One day the BBC will wake up…but it’ll be too late.

    “Durham Police has insisted it is not currently investigating claims Sir Keir Starmer broke lockdown rules, despite coming under political pressure to do so.

    The force was urged by Tory MP Richard Holden to reopen its inquiry into the Labour leader’s visit to Durham city in the run-up to the Hartlepool by-election in April 2021, when Sir Keir was videoed drinking a bottle of beer inside.

    Mr Holden, who represents North West Durham, urged the force to reconsider in light of the Metropolitan Police’s decision to fine the Prime Minister for attending his birthday bash in Downing Street.

    Highly amused to hear Nagger and her other short-haired colleagues [female] having a meltdown about a story concerning young girls with short hair playing football and questions being asked as to their actual sex.

    Naturally Nagger was shocked and outraged…how upsetting for the girls and so sexist.

    One thing she never mentioned was ‘Trans’….surely this modern phenomenon is behind the questions…are they girls or are they ringers?…Given they are quite young it of course can be difficult to tell….with short hair in sexless football gear.

    This is an ‘outrage’ made at the BBC and in its like-minded institutions up and down the country that drive the trans trend telling schoolchildren they can be 101 genders if they like.

    If they didn’t groom, confuse and abuse vulnerable young children this wouldn’t be an issue.

    The real outrage is the promotion of this twisted ideology taht does so much damage to young children.

    Tory sleaze…Tory scum etc etc

    “So much for ‘clean’ Labour! Keir Starmer has lost THREE ministers over scandals in just seven months, while an MP faces jail for punching a constituent.

    Ahead of last summer’s general election, Sir Keir Starmer vowed to oversee a ‘clean-up’ of British politics to ensure ‘the highest standards of integrity and honesty’.”

    Nothing really much to see here…just a load of tractors and farmers…complaining about the inheritance tax and saying they’ve had a hard time….and it was very noisy at one point with all the airhorns.

    No fuller explanation of the issues and exactly why inheritance tax is so bad for farmers…just a very short report and that’s it. If it had been a pro-Hamas march or eco-terrorists? I imagine it would have been a much longer and very pro report.

    The BBC admits…

    ‘Immigration is a massive concern to so, so many people – and so it matters in and of itself.

    But it matters for a wider reason too: the numbers arriving both legally and illegally are, to many, a visible, expensive daily illustration of state failure and broken promises.’

    and yet it campaigns vigorously against those who want to control it properly…constantly implying they are Nazis in essence.

    Surely Starmer’s new storm troopers rounding up illegal [undocumented] migrants are an echo of the 1930’s and the rounding up of Jews…surely!? Or is that just when it’s Tories doing it or Farage asking for it? Remember how the BBC castigated the Tories for the ‘hostile environment for illegal migrants’…though they often missed out the ‘illegal’ and forgot that the phrase was actually one created by Labour itself when in government.

    ‘In May 2007, Liam Byrne, who was the Labour immigration minister at the time, had referred to a “hostile environment” in an announcement of a consultation document: “We are trying to create a much more hostile environment in this country if you are here illegally”.’

    The BBC will no doubt be conflicted…wanting to help Labour out but not wanting to see illegal migrants shipped out.

    Curious how many times the BBC uses ‘illegal’ in this new report when previously they preferred undocumented or irregular or just migrant. Guess they’re helping Starmer out….better a socialist fascist than a fascist facist like Farage eh?

    How Trump is halting the funding of BBC bias
    “AS THE Trump administration begins reorganizing and cutting major funding to the US Agency for International Development (USAID), revelations are emerging that the organization financed groups, including some media outlets, engaged in smear campaigns and censorship against dissident voices.

    This includes large international organizations that, in turn, fund smaller media organizations like BBC Media Action and the International Fund for Public Interest Media, chaired by the former head of the New York Times*.


    Ji reported on Substack that BBC Media Action, the BBC’s international charity, received substantial funding from USAID – 8 per cent of its 2023-2024 budget, according to a BBC press statement.

    He said BBC Media Action has faced accusations of engaging in censorship under the guise of ‘combating misinformation’ and that it leverages the BBC brand to shape media narratives, including about public health, vaccines and pharmaceutical products.”

A Marxist saga of our times. Biden gone, Thompson’s perversions back fired.

      @ F2

      This should provide some perspective :

      “Labour ‘not a serious party’: Migration madness as deportation flight images published.

      Labour’s migration policy was slammed as the Home Office published images of deportation flights for the first time.

      “Only 1 in every 4 of these claimed returns are actually enforced returns, the majority are conducted voluntarily. This is hardly a tough stance on the border when Labour still are failing to force illegals out of this country.

      “Only a tiny fraction of these returns relate to small boat arrivals. They represent just 4% of those arriving by small boat – how can Labour claim allowing 96% of illegal small boat arrivals to stay is any kind of deterrent?

      “Labour is not a serious party. Their position on the border seems to be to write ‘Come In’ on the White Cliffs of Dover.

      “Labour has lost control of our borders with a 28% increase in illegal channel crossings since the election. Labour is weak on immigration and Keir Starmer is a weak Prime Minister.”

    The Farmers.

    Here’s a solution.

    The next government, Reform or Reform plus some conservatives, can put in their manifesto that first, they would reverse this inheritance tax grab and second, that they would reimburse any monies taken by Labour during the Labour government term.

    Just keep the receipts and you’ll get the money back.

    It can be paid for using the monies being sent to foreign farms.

    On the Farage show (and others) the lefties keep saying that inheritance tax only applies to a tiny minority of the population, the very rich they say.
    At the same time the lefties are saying that one in four pensioners are millionaires.
    As most people get to pension age this tiny minority looks like at least 25% by their thinking.

    Really excellent news – the state murder bill is now being changed so that the need for a high court judge to sign off on state murder is to be replaced by – me – or – you .

    Inevitable that the tedious admin safeguards are replaced by casual killing – just like abortion by convenience … why limit state killing to the ‘terminal ‘ – who not offer it to anyone not happy ?

    Hamas suspends hostage releases – Israel says military now on ‘highest alert’
    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c2056vkpkrgt

    I see the Hamas ceasefire is about to break down. The BBC and UN take everything Hamas say in good faith despite there not being any precedents as to why they should do this.

    They are TERRORISTS FFS. They murdered hundreds of innocent people in cold blood in the most gruesome ways you can imagine. Yet the BBC faithfully report every word without question.

    I posted a while back how the first hostages released would be the ones who could still walk. I wondered at the time what Hamas would do when the time came to release the grotesque consequences to the world of what they have done to the others.

    So the one thing I don’t see reported in any of the BBC’s rhetoric is the possibility that they are not releasing any more after the outrage of the world to the holocaust survivors they just released.

    Meanwhile – thanks to pressure from the likes of the BBC – the civilians are all on their way back and when the ceasefire breaks down completely, Hamas will continue using them as human shields. And the BBC will cover it up but keep on reporting the Hamas-supplied death figures. And the UN will stay silent.

    And what comment has the worse-than-useless UN come out with ?.
    UN spokesperson Farhan Haq :
    “We want to make sure that there are no delays, no hold ups and all of the implementations of the agreement go ahead as previously planned.”
    What astounding management-speak bullsh1t. How will you ‘make sure’ Farhan ?. They won’t do anything at all. Hamas have them right where they want them.

    This is all such a monumental farce, I have to pinch myself to be sure it’s not some bizarre dream. The BBC have surpassed even my expectations for the level of their hypocrisy and racist double standards.
