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 ..

    What a pathetic snivelling creature Mandleson is. Absolutely typical Lefty. Luckily the BBC are just the same so they readily give him a soapbox.

    Trump’s citizenship order leaves expecting Indian immigrant parents in limbo
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8xq70lw8kvo

    This is how desperate the BBC to find anything negative they can against Trump.

    In true BBC form, they zoom in on a carefully selected example and blow it up out of all proportion to reality.

    When it suits them, the plight of two non-white people is more important than global politics. And also when it suits them (eg when black boys murder each other in Londonistan), they don’t report it at all.

    Savita is apparently from a ‘lower cast’ and ‘says she often faces casteist insults from her South Asian colleagues.’.

    Is there no limit to how unfair life is when you are a BAME who spends your life looking for reasons ?. Of course the BBC are only too willing to take any of their stories and put them on the front page. They absolutely love racism against ‘victims’. They don’t need to ‘provide any evidence’.

    The extreme-Left BBC are 100% agenda now.

    Another one….

    “Motley Crue member Vince Neil’s private jet veers off runway in Arizona and crashes into plane, leaving at least one dead.

    The crash comes after a Bering Air flight carrying 10 people vanished while flying over Alaska on Thursday.

    On January 31, a medical transportation plane crashed in Philadelphia killing the six people on board and another person on the ground.

    The nation was hit with the deadliest air disaster in the country since 2001 on January 29 when an American Airlines jet collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, DC.”

    This is the country where our labour socialist leader is poncing around the world pretending to be important and giving away billions of taxpayers money to other countries as “aid” when we have bankrupt labour socialist local authorities that can’t afford to collect refuse, which is strewn around our streets, with rotten and boarded up buildings and alcoholic homeless on the streets…

      Anyone who is rightly shocked by the above pictures of Grimsby should take a trip to visit Scheveningen in NL. This is also a seaside town with a small harbour, a fishing fleet, fish processing factories, a massive number of thriving restaurants etc etc. The place is packed with visitors.

    DOGE focuses on millions in migrant hotels billed to US taxpayers as DHS Sec. Noem targets FEMA.

    The government’s leading disaster relief agency reportedly spent millions on hotels for illegal immigrants just last week, according to Elon Musk, who is leading the Trump administration’s efforts to cut government spending.

    FEMA…..the government’s disaster relief branch that recently sparked concern over a reported lack of funds during Hurricane Helene.

    During former President Biden’s term, FEMA faced backlash after it was reported that while they lacked the necessary funds needed to help Hurricane Helene victims, they were dishing out money that ended up being used to aid illegal immigrants.

    Speaker Mike Johnson clarified that emergency relief funding is separate from FEMA funds allocated to immigration, but said that the agency should not have any part in funding the border crisis.

    FEMA partners with Customs and Border Control (CBP) and administers money to the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), a government-funded program that provides assistance and housing for illegal immigrants released into the U.S.

    Of the $59.3 million, $19 million was for direct hotel costs, while the balance funded other services such as food and security. According to NY City Hall, the funds were not part of a disaster relief grant.

    The Department of Homeland Security told Fox News Digital that those who made the payment will be “held accountable.”

    “As Secretary Noem said yesterday, we must get rid of FEMA the way it exists today. This is yet another egregious example,” DHS said in a statement. “Individuals who circumvented leadership and unilaterally made this payment will be fired and held accountable.”

    Failure to Launch was a 2006 American romantic comedy film directed by Tom Dey, and starring Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker… Thirty-five-year-old… Tripp [McConaughey] has many casual girlfriends. When he is tired of them, he invites them to “his place”—and when they realize he still lives at home, they promptly dump him. (Thank you Wiki)

    Keir Starmer’s latest relaunch attempt began yesterday with some performative efforts to convince us he’s tacking right on immigration: Ministers want to show toughness on immigration (Chris Mason, Political editor BBC)

    For once Getty Images doesn’t get the fee from our BBC for the photo used to illustrate a crime report – so there’s no white wrists in cuffs or white hand brandishing unblunted kitchen knives: The Home Office has released images of people being escorted onto deportation flights (Photo credit: Home Office)

    Apparently European – I’m guessing Albanian from our view of the back of his neck – track-suited chap being escorted up the ladder onto a jet liner by five security bods in hi-viz.

    The geeky-looking Chris Mason is far from the worst of the BBC bunch – bias-wise. His conclusion is valid: 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. (BBC)

    So, so many people have arrived recently.

    Of course we hereabouts may think Starmer’s actions are so-so.

    Next up. Stuffed shirt, piggy-eyed, adenoidal Starmer… even his friends think he comes over like an HR manager…

    Pub bore Starmer

    PM backs Mirror campaign… Keir: We must save pubs… Local-loving Labour leader’s support as we demand a boozer lifeline – the labour-supporting Daily Mirror there.

    Frankly, I’m more likely to believe Mirror reporting how NHS nurses are scoffing scraps from kitchen waste bins than Keir’s a pub regular.

    Two Tier Keir a fan of the local? He’s surely more of a wine bar sort of a chap?

    Anyway, I thought: Sir Keir told reporters at a campaign event in Derbyshire: “I do carve out Friday nights, as best I can, for Vic and the kids and her dad as protected time… All I said was that, on a Friday night, I tend to try and protect that time for my family as protected time for my wife and my kids. (Indepenedent)

    Mind you, ‘sooner, harder, longer’ Lockdown King Starmer was partial to the odd bottle (after?) work at the office: What is Beergate and why does it matter? Keir Starmer having a beer and takeaway has potentially become a resigning matter after reopening of investigation… The Sun first published a picture of Keir Starmer drinking a beer with Labour workers in a party office in Durham on 30 April 2021 (Guardian,This article is more than 2 years old)

    But it is this incident will always define Starmer: Starmer thrown out of Bath pub in lockdown row… Sir Keir Starmer says he “profoundly disagreed” with a pub landlord who angrily ordered him to “get out of my pub”… Rod Humphris, who co-runs The Raven pub, said he was unhappy with Labour’s response to government lockdown measures. (BBC, April 2021)
