    Small fry when it comes to government agencies lying to the public you would think. But the BBC are self-obsessed and he’s a neo-Nazi and a wife beater, so any other news is on hold while they play “unreserved apology” on repeat.

      We are in a gas light world …. “The first season of Volodymyr Zelensky’s sitcom about an ordinary guy who becomes president is on Netflix, and watching it on one screen while on another Zelensky narrates his country’s resistance to the Russian invasion feels like witnessing history stereoscopically.”

      https://slate.com/culture/2022/03/zelensky-servant-of-the-people-real-parallels.html

      He becomes an overnight YouTube sensation when a student secretly films him ranting to a colleague about corruption. “Who is there to vote for? It’s always the lesser of two assholes and it’s been this way for twenty-five years,” goes his speech, now as famous in our world as it was in Holoborodko’s. “If I could have just one week in office, if at all possible, I would show them! Fuck the motorcades! Fuck the perks! Fuck the weekend chalets!”

      One of the first mistakes he makes, in fact—which goes uncorrected and uncriticized by the series—involves firing a network of connected vipers in the administration only to appoint his own set of cronies as advisers (they include several of his spectacularly unqualified pals and his ex-wife). The comedy, which goes to the trouble of roundly condemning nepotism, faintly suggests that Holoborodko’s judgment here is good enough; his cronyism is somehow the benign kind. It’s hard not to watch this fictional turn of events without recalling that the real Zelensky, once elected president, brought some three dozen of his associates from the entertainment industry into government—installing them in departments that include national security and defense.

    Police confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death, the inquest opening at Cheshire Coroner’s Court in Warrington heard.

    Noting that a post-mortem examination revealed an “unnatural cause of death”, area coroner Victoria Davies said further investigation was required and adjourned the inquest until 30 June.”

    So hows that work – no suspicious circumstances and an unnatural cause of death?

    What a waste of time and money, it probably just killed theirself.

    Another one dug out from under a stone by Fox News and others…

    ‘Wokest hospital in America?’: Top hospital hit with blistering ad exposing ‘political agenda’

    “Is Cleveland Clinic the wokest hospital in America?” the 30-second ad asks. “They prioritize care based on skin color. Perform child sex changes. Push transgender propaganda on vulnerable kids. Insert DEI into everything they do.”

    “And spend millions on climate activism. The CEO admits it: Healthcare is only a part of their mission. Cleveland Clinic. Focused on a political agenda. Not what’s best for patients.”

    The ad, in part, references a letter from Cleveland Clinic’s CEO suggesting that providing healthcare services is not the sole focus of the organization.

    “Providing high-quality healthcare is only a part of our mission,” Cleveland Clinic CEO Tom Mihaljevic wrote in a post on the hospital’s website.

    “We have an obligation to uplift the many communities we call home. We must improve our neighbors’ wellbeing, quality of life and opportunities to succeed. We must operate in sustainable ways that are good for our planet. We must embrace diversity, champion human rights and lead with humility and inclusiveness.”

    Cleveland Clinic has faced accusations of promoting a “woke” agenda in the past, including a complaint filed by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty alleging, “race-based discrimination and segregation of patients.”

    The Cleveland Clinic’s website also contains several posts promoting climate initiatives, including a plan for “greening” its operating rooms.

    In 2022, the Cleveland Clinic hired Jacqui Robertson as chief of diversity and inclusion, and announced in a post that has since been deleted that she will “lead efforts that will further diversity and inclusion across the health system.”

    Robertson stated in a 2023 interview, “I don’t believe that diversity and inclusion should ever be a standalone strategy. It has to be embedded in everything that we do. And so that’s our processes, that’s our metrics.”

    In a June 2023 post that also appears to have been deleted from the Cleveland Clinic website, the clinic explained “How To Support a Child Who’s Questioning Their Gender Identity.”

    Also in June 2023, the clinic put out a press release labeling racism as a “public health crisis.”

    “Cleveland Clinic is committed to addressing structural racism and bias in our community,” the organization said in a December 2020 press release announcing a plan to “join a coalition of 37 of the largest U.S. employers, to train, hire and promote one million Black Americans into family-sustaining jobs with opportunities for advancement.”

    Australian healthcare workers threaten Israeli man, claim to have killed Jews in their care on camera. Unprovoked Australian healthcare workers boast killing Jews on online video chat.

    Two Australian healthcare workers are being investigated after threatening to kill an Israeli man on camera, claiming they had previously killed Jews in their care.

    The man and woman, who said they were doctors, spoke with the man via Chatrouletka, a website where strangers are matched internationally to have conversations.

    After the Israeli man revealed his nationality, the female worker said “it’s Palentine’s country, not your country you piece of s—,” according to the video.”

    As the Israeli man asked for peace, the conversation escalated, and the woman said “when the time comes, I want you to remember my face, so you can understand that you will die the most disgusting death.”

    The pair went on to say they would not treat the man and would kill him if he came to their hospital.

    The man in scrubs said “you have no idea how many Israelis came to this hospital and…,” while sliding his arm across his neck in a throat-slashing motion.”

    Another judge to support the 2019 opinion was Kirill Gevorgian. Formerly of the USSR/Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Gevorgian was appointed by Putin as Russia’s ambassador to the Netherlands back in 2003 – a role he occupied until 2009. Hanqin happened to be China’s ambo there from 2003 to 2008…

    After leaving his ambassadorial role Gevorgian returned to Moscow to serve as the legal director for the Russian foreign ministry. He has received four state awards from Putin, including a certificate of honour in 2011 “for active work to protect the interests of the Russian Federation.” Gevorgian voted in 2023, along with Hanqin, against an ruling that Russia should suspend its invasion of Ukraine…”

    The eye-popping amount of money Elon Musk has already slashed from the Education Department as staff melt down.

    Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has saved $982 million after combing through the Department of Education and canceling outside contracts, according to the agency.

    The Education Department’s Institute of Education Sciences was the focus of most of the cuts, as $881 million was cut from at least 89 contracts.

    Many of the contracts were for special studies tracking student learning, evaluating teaching strategies, and tracking educational trends.

    ‘Any contracts to preform statutory functions will be rebid,’ a notice to staffers read, noting that the College Scorecard would not be affected by the cuts.

    The department also canceled training grants for DEI programs, saving $101 million.

    Trump endorsed Musk’s work with DOGE on Tuesday arguing that no one should complain about his administration rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, and saving taxpayer money.

    ‘Nobody had any idea it was that bad, that sick, and that corrupt,’ Trump said.

    The fruits of Blair’s strategy to remove power from the HoC and transfer it to unelected and unaccountable judges and Quangos are now being harvested. The Gaza resettlement plan being but the latest example.
    Pre Blair the HoC would have decided if Gazans could be granted leave to stay and if the decision was appealed the HoL would have been the final arbiter. Judges , apart from those who sat in the HoL , would have had little influence.
    Blair did enormous damage to our country and made it difficult to reverse . If we are wise and lucky enough to elect a Reform government at the next GE they will have their work cut out to break the bonds that Blair tied our country up with.

    Honest Reporting on the BBC’s reporting of Israel and Hamas.
    For the full article you need to go to honestreporting.com

    The full article shows clips from Laura Kuensberg’s interview with President Herzog of Israel. Everything she asks with her usual sneer.

    ‘Many outlets we engage with—whether through our broad social media reach that publicly exposes bad journalism or through direct discussions with editors and reporters—are at least willing to correct their mistakes. Sometimes, these amendments, retractions, and clarifications take time, but they do happen.

    Then there’s the BBC—the outlier.

    Despite being funded by UK taxpayers via the television licensing fee, the BBC repeatedly refuses to engage with legitimate criticism of its biased Israel coverage—both before and since Hamas’s October 7 massacre.

    Rather than ensuring accuracy before publication or promptly correcting errors, the BBC resists taking action until it is quite literally forced to—usually after an intense and coordinated backlash makes the misreporting impossible to ignore.

    The result? Barely a month goes by without the BBC issuing a public correction and apology—a recurring embarrassment gleefully reported by UK media as yet another example of the broadcaster’s journalistic failures.

    And this latest hostage exchange was no exception.

    Last Friday, the BBC was once again forced into a public apology after one of its news anchors, Nicky Schiller, referred to the three Israeli hostages as “Israeli prisoners” of Hamas. Hours later, the network issued an on-air correction and apology, calling it a mistake.

    But what kind of honest “mistake” is immediately repeated within 24 hours?

    The very next day, as the BBC covered the release of the three emaciated hostages—exchanged for 183 Palestinian prisoners—it ran a glaringly misleading strapline across the bottom of its live news coverage: “Concerns over [the] appearance of hostages on both sides.” [Emphasis added]’

      BBC? Bunch of total cunts…… time they were gone for the good of this Country.

      The anti-British shite the BBC have wreaked on this Country in the last 19 years or so is just mind boggling especially when you consider that they are legally forcing people to pay for their anti-British bullshit with the cooperation of the courts and government of this Country. It feels like the BBC are being run by HAMAS.

    The BBC’s top headline despite Gaza and Ukraine upheavals….

    ‘MI5 lied to courts to protect violent neo-Nazi spy’

    Hmmm…MI5 certainly said something that wasn’t true…but did they ‘lie’?

    We know an MI5 officer confirmed that the man was an MI5 agent…but the BBC itself says this would have been authorised by senior officers and lawyers…

    ‘The truth is that, in several calls with me, a senior MI5 officer had departed from the NCND policy by announcing to me that X was an agent and inviting me to meet him. The officer said he had been legally authorised to tell me the information.’

    ….thus when MI5 told the courts that they hadn’t said such a thing to the BBC[an obviously provable untruth] it must be due more to cock-up than conspiracy…someone hadn’t passed on the message that they had spoken to the BBC.

    Ah but says the BBC….

    ‘MI5 was gambling that I could not prove what I had set out.’

    Lol…an intelligence officer would not think that a BBC journalist was recording what was said? Think that suggestion is a little white BBC lie or self-delusion.

    Given that MI5’s standard operating policy is never to reveal an agent, when in court that would be the normal line to take…unless, as in this case, probably unknown to them, something else had happened to change that SOP….and they ‘lie’ by mistake….and the BBC, for some reason, tries to blow it up into a huge scandal….which to most people, I’d imagine, it wouldn’t be even if they had deliberately lied….you might think..yeah…that’s what they’re paid to do.

    And why is the BBC obsessed with the ‘neo-Nazi’ moniker? Is that really the most relevant part or any part at all in this story? If he’d been Muslim would they shout that from the rooftops? Think not. Presumably, given that he was working for MI5 he was actually undercover exposing Far-Right groups…thus how far-right is he? Is he one of those converts who see the light and turn against the Far-Right? Maybe the BBC should be praising him for that as they have others they have spoken to who have renounced their past lives.

    ‘A former right-wing extremist has described how he was radicalised as a 15-year-old boy in the wake of the Manchester Arena bombing.

    John said he wanted to speak out as a way of warning other young people, particularly about the dangers posed online.’

    TOADY Watch #2 – Spend, spend, spend © Viv Nicholson a.k.a. Rachel from Accounts

    A note of gloom from TOADY this morning: taxes may have to go up even further. Labour’s (Tony Blair’s) PFI is not delivering safe schools for children in the Stoke area. The Commissioner of the Metropolitan police may have to place wrong ‘un officers that he would like to dismiss on ‘administrative leave’. ‘Administrative leave’ is, I think, a euphemism for police not doing much at all. Both are going to cost and Rachel from Accounts may have to raise taxes, as forecast by an item on the front of the Daily Telegraph this morning. Oh! Joy!

        Fed, Starmer has rather made life difficult for Rachel from Accounts. He has pledged not raise Income Tax, VAT or NI for ‘working people’. That does not leave much wriggle room for Rachel from Accounts. Death Duties for farmers has been done to death (ho ho, laugh if you like) and Streeting & Kinnock have their eyes on more money for the NHS and Dentistry, respectively. (See Daily Mirror front page here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c627mz8drmqo)

        Death Duties a.k.a. IHT only kicks in when people die. I reckon Rachel from Accounts and her boss, the PM, will have to do some grovelling to the tax payers, a.k.a. the working people of the UK.

      Asylum support
      https://www.gov.uk/asylum-support/what-youll-get

      Housing
      You’ll be given somewhere to live if you need it. This could be in a flat, house, hostel or bed and breakfast.

      You cannot choose where you live. It’s unlikely you’ll get to live in London or south-east England.

      Cash support
      You’ll usually get £49.18 for each person in your household. This will help you pay for things you need like food, clothing and toiletries.

      Your allowance will be loaded onto a debit card (ASPEN card) each week. You’ll be able to use the card to get cash from a cash machine.

      If your accommodation provides your meals
      You’ll get £8.86 for each person in your household instead.

      If you’ve been refused asylum but you’re still eligible for support
      You’ll be given:

      somewhere to live
      £49.18 per person on a payment card for food, clothing and toiletries (or £8.86 per person if your accommodation provides your meals)
      You will not be given:

      the payment card if you do not take the offer of somewhere to live
      any money
      Extra money for mothers and young children
      You’ll get extra money to buy healthy food if you’re pregnant or a mother of a child aged 3 or under. The amount you get will depend on your situation.

      Your situation Extra payment per week
      Pregnant mother £5.25
      Baby under 1 year old £9.50
      Child aged 1 to 3 £5.25
      Maternity payment
      You can apply for a one-off £300 maternity payment if your baby is due in 11 weeks or less, or if your baby is under 6 months old.

      Applying for the maternity grant
      You apply for the maternity grant in the same way whether you’re still an asylum seeker or you’ve been refused asylum.

      You’ll need to request form MAT B1 from your doctor to apply for the payment. You can apply for the maternity payment at the same time you apply for asylum support.

      If you get pregnant after you’ve applied for asylum support, you can apply to Migrant Help.

      Healthcare
      You may get free National Health Service (NHS) healthcare, such as to see a doctor or get hospital treatment.

      You’ll also get:

      free prescriptions for medicine
      free dental care for your teeth
      free eyesight tests
      help paying for glasses
      Education
      Your children must attend school if they are aged 5 to 17. All state schools are free and your children may be able to get free school meals.

      Same for Windrush.

      They lie because people like the BBC love their lies. It makes them ‘victims’ to be used in the ideological war against the Right.

      This what disgusts me the most about the Left. They know the truth and pretend something else because it suits their own agenda. They virtue-signal that they have more empathy and compassion than anyone else because they know they are shallow, unpleasant people inside. They lie without conscience.
      *caveat* Not quite all of them know the truth, especially the students. They are just weak clueless idiots who need to be part of a ‘groupthink’. They would switch tomorrow if the groupthink opinion switched.

    So both local ITV and BBC led with story today.
    Reporters standing in front of Scunthorpe steelworks
    As if that makes any difference to reporting from the studio

    Interesting context is Heathrow is foreign owned
    I checked with Grok and it confirmed that.

    Context 2, media mentioned only a third of UK projects yse steel made in Britain
    They omitted that a large part of that is cis Port Talbot can’t nake steel due to the idiotic way they seitched off blast furnaces before starting to build electric arc furnaces.

    No doubt a scenario that is perfectly normal in the shit world of SW1 London but not for the other 99% of regions in this country.

    Every TV ad I have seen tonight features non-white one after another….it’s as if they want to rub white noses in it. No doubt a meritorious aim for the new breed of uni leavers indoctrinated on his horrid the past generation of white colonial bastards were.

    The BBC are very quick to report things Hamas do which support the anti-Jew racist agenda. Any figures or accusations of war-crimes they make are reported as if they are fact with the small provisor ‘according to the Hamas run government’ but the facts they are brutal terrorists and use the people of Gaza as human shields is NEVER mentioned except to say it’s just something ‘Israel claim’ when it could be proven very easily indeed.

    So we won’t be seeing any of this on the BBC or it’s sister extreme-Left arse-cheek ‘The Guardian’:
    ‘Video appears to show Hamas shooting several alleged ‘collaborators’ in Gaza’
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/video-appears-to-show-hamas-executing-several-alleged-collaborators-in-gaza/

    They also shot 17 merchants in the foot for ‘raising prices’.

    The true face of Hamas and the true face of the BBC.

    Meanwhile THIS is what the BBC and it’s fat anti-semite Bowen should be concentrating on. The reason we have this war in the first place:

      The EU will be horrified because THEY want Ukraine and are quite prepared to sacrifice every Ukrainian male to get it.

      What I don’t understand is what THEIR end-game is for Ukraine. Russia took everything the West could supply to Ukraine and are now winning. The longer it goes on, the more of Ukraine they will take. There is zero chance of Ukraine launching any realistic counter offensive now. They seem to be keeping the fighting going simply because they have no other plan.

      They will draw the new borders along lines the Russians consider defendable and Ukraine joining NATO will be considered an act of war by Russia.

      This has been a most bizarre conflict by the West. They have not shown ANY desire to stop it – to the point that they have sabotaged any attempts to do so. Boris himself did it once. Which is why I personally think it is all about destroying Russias capability to wage war ready for the big one with China.

      And just like Hitler, they have massively misjudged Russia once again. They have found ways to counter all our best weapons. It’s us who will be catching up to Russia for the next few years, especially in drone warfare.

    Man, 18, charged with preparing terrorist acts
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qjrdyjd9xo

    Lets put this through the checklist for these BBC reports:

    1) Headline gives no clue whatsoever about the person involved.
    Check.

    2) No mention of ‘far-Right’ in the headline.
    Check

    3) The article is very brief with the absolute minimum of information.
    Check

    4) Story instantly buried into regions so nobody sees it.
    Check.

    Conclusion : it’s another Muslim terrorist story being hidden by the BBC.

    Let’s open the box and see his name:

    Muhammad Billal

    Case closed.

    The Left are always trying to blame someone else when a murderer is on their ‘victim’ list.
    “The tool used for identifying an individual’s vulnerability to radicalism was outdated.”

    100% grade-A bullshit trying excuse what happened as just bad management and inferring it will never happen again.

    I wonder how many Islamic extremists ‘Prevent’ has ‘cured’. I confidently predict the answer is zero. What they MIGHT have done is put some people under such close surveillance and control that they haven’t had the chance to murder anyone. Which is very, very different and no solution whatsoever to the problem.

      With the EU being such a great democracy, they should organise a referendum in all their member states to see who supports Trumps negotiation or the EU plan to keep funding it with no possible peac in sight.
