    Their parliament has had a debate about Ukraine with the fools talking about ‘preparing for war ‘ …. how can these fools be so deluded that war would be worth anything ? What sort of war do they want ? One fought a long way away?

    Or a new sort of war – with the homes and families of politicians targeted ahead of the punters they ‘represent ‘ and whom they would expect to go and die for …. Europe … er … Ukraine … or some old nonsense about ‘freedom ‘ … that ship left a long time ago ….

    They invoke 1939 – but the treaty to protect Poland at that time was worthless —- right up to 1989 ….

    ““Nobody wants the conflict to continue and Ukrainians more than anybody want the conflict to end. But we must make sure that Ukraine is at the heart of this, there can’t be negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine being at the heart of it. And it’s really important that Ukraine is in the strongest possible position, whether that’s in discussions or whether it’s continued fighting – which is why I’ve been arguing since I’ve been PM that we need to ramp up the money, the capability, and the training that we’re putting into Ukraine. And we’re delivering even more of that this year than we were last year. It’s really important to have the strongest possible position for Ukraine but this has to be done with Ukraine, and that’s the discussion I had with president Zelensky when I was over there just two or three weeks ago.””

    Ukrainian men dragged out of nightclubs and restaurants by army recruiters during ‘press-gang’ raids
    14 October 2024, 10:32
    https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/ukrainian-men-dragged-out-of-nightclubs-and-restaurants-army-press-gang-kyiv/

    A man can be heard shouting ‘Get away from me!’ As he was dragged towards a recruitment desk.

    Several women filmed the policemen on their smartphones, shouting: “Shame! Shame on you!”

    “Mobilisation has begun to be perceived as a one-way ticket, where the only way to end service is to die or become disabled.”

      The Lyric theatre and Hammersmith & Fulham Council worked together to create and deliver a confidence-building drama and storytelling project for other Afghan refugees.

      In total, 16 young adults aged 18 to 25 attended the two-week workshop. The sessions focused on self-confidence and English skills. Attendees were encouraged to think of the sessions as fun, creative spaces where they could work on their everyday vocabulary without judgement.

    Trump is certainly having a great effect on everything and it’s such a pity that he will only have 4 years.
    Do they have judges in the USA that can make the law up such as this one we’ve got who has decided that Gazans can come here. If they do also have judges who can decide what the law means then why not get one to say Trump can stay on for a third term.
    Is that any more difficult than our lot making the law up to suit their own personal agenda.

        I was just trying to think of something which is solid in the eyes of the law, the two term thing.
        (Three term Trump…sounds good to me unlike TTK etc)
        Then, comparing it with our judges who are now making the law up as they go along.
        Why have a parliament if the judges can make the laws.
        Maybe we can save £s with the 650 + the lords pay and all the hangers on by sacking the lot and let the judges decide the Law as this leftie woke one is doing and so far getting away with it.

    Wouldn’t it be good if the areas being fought over plus Crimea could be given a vote on whether to stay with Ukraine or become Russian. Maybe votes in several areas as some a pro Russian and some are not.
    What’s wrong with that.

    The other solution is to get a judge to decide what he thinks is right and do whatever he wants as is happening here.

    I think we should be told what the car was which drove into the crowd in today’s drive through.
    Was it a VW or a BMW, maybe a Ford or Nissan. We need to know the enemy.
    Why are these cars driving into crowds?

    Is it a protest against EV’s who may be replacing them?

    Maybe the indigenous cars have let the powers that be know that the new ‘incoming’ cars are not ‘enriching’ us but are gradually taking over but the powers that be are not listening and direct action is the response hence headlines like ‘car drives into crowd’

    That’s the only explanation I can think of why a car would deliberately drive into a crowd of people.

    If ever I was on ” Pointless ” with my wife . And one had to give pointless answers for actors in ” I’m all right Jack. ” The
    satirical comedy from the Boulting brothers Ealing studios
    from 1959 . Glenda and I between us would get three
    pointless answers.
    With Peter Sellers, Terry Thomas, Dennis Price . Ian Carmichael,
    Richard Attenborough, Liz Frazer, Margaret Rutherford, John Le
    Mesurier, Irene Handl, Miles Malleson, etc etc etc. This film
    would NEVER be shown on BBC . BIG BROTHER from the
    BBC Diversity department would have a heart attack.
    It is comic satire which takes the piss out of Trade Unions,
    Big Business. In fact EVERYVODY in the establishment.
    It is a revelation. You can call it dated. But for me it like
    vintage aged wine.
    Peter Sellers who won a BAFTA for his part as a shop steward.
    Who takes the workers out on strike on the slightest
    pretext . Just like Mick Lynch. Ian Carmichael is the patsy
    used by Denis Price one of the bosses who can make
    a killing by getting Carmichael to show that he can
    increase his productivity by at least twice as much without.
    any problems whatsoever.
    Can you just imagine the BBC showing a satire where
    another shop steward says. ” If he carries on producing
    twice as much . They will be employing blacks . Just as they
    do on the Birmingham buses. ” The irony is that Ian
    Carmichaels name is WINDRUSH. But believe me this is
    just a coincidence. Well I think it is ! Believe me this film
    is terrific . I can just imagine current tube train drivers
    seeing this film with a smirk on their faces. As well as Rachel Reeves.
    Earning near to SIX figure salaries on a four day week in
    a job a CROW which has the intelligence of a 7 to 8 year
    old child could be taught to do in half an hour. The only

    Establishment response to Munich — Andrew Marr on LBC just now has his knickers in a twist… not out of concern for the injured but about what it might mean for their elections.

    The rise of the far right around the west reminds us that history “bleeds into our lives and our politics today”. Next up he’s interviewing the producer of a new TV programme about Mussolini… ah and now Marr’s making a comparison with Trump, as they both share a “raging machismo”.

    Zero interest shown for another bloodbath on the streets and what it means for German people. Just a media obsessed with their own shallow commentary, where every event gets shoehorned into the agenda.

    “German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warned against divisions emerging in society after a suspected attack in Munich that comes as the nation prepares to go to the polls.
    Given the challenges both domestically and abroad, it is all the more important “that we stand together as democrats in our country. That we do not allow ourselves to be divided, neither by far-right extremists nor by Islamists who are challenging our constitutional state from within.”

    The above is the German version of our own meaningless mantras of “We stand united… diversity is our strength… they won’t divide us”.
    A few thoughts:
    In the current German context, it’s code for “don’t vote AfD.”
    It’s also a typical attempt to draw a (false) equivalence between the murderous Islamists and the Right.
    And it ignores the fact that the first is a cause, the other a mere response.

    Here’s a longer version of the VD clip above.

    VD and the BBC think they are signalling their virtue by pushing for the butchery in Ukraine to continue even longer, only to end with an inevitable compromise and loss of territory for Ukraine, after countless more dead and wounded.
    Like all armchair generals, they’re happy to advocate for war so long as others do the dying.
    It’s THEY who want MORE women killed in maternity hospitals in Ukraine – not Trump.

    Meanwhile, Ukrainians themselves are begging for an end to the war, even though, realistically, it will entail compromise on their part.

    Britain is at risk of a £24billion hit to the economy after Donald Trump vowed to impose tariffs on countries that charge VAT.

    The US President said he would charge reciprocal tariffs ‘for purposes of fairness’, which could result in a 21pc levy on goods exported to America.

    He vowed to address ‘each country one by one’ – meaning it is not yet clear what the impact on Britain will be.

    The UK currently charges a 20% standard VAT for most goods and services. Trump told reporters that he views VAT as a tariff.

      Just look at their faces while they speak. Full of that nasty left-wing hate.

      The real bastards are the ones who cynically and deliberately caused this war.
      Russia started it, but they didn’t cause it.

      Funny how Britain thinks it still has the power or authority to be in ‘the game ‘ between the US and Putin . Britain is nothing now – and the Europeans are the same .

      The BBC and ‘defence establishment ‘ can make all the noise it wants but the US has been throwing money at Ukraine and is entitled to pull out and leave it the Germany …

      And im sure vicky Derbyshire and the rest will send their kids to fight on the eastern front …

    Absolute classic BBC. They don’t want anyone reading this story to think about it.

    The briefest of reports : basic facts only.
    No links to the actual stories with the videos.

    For an agenda topic, these articles ALWAYS fully re-hash the original story AND link back to it to make it current again. They must have repeated the full George Floyd events a hundred times using any excuse they could.

        “In April 2024, President Zelensky signed new conscription laws, passed by the national legislature, that lowered the conscription age by two years, from 27 to 25, and made other provisions that would make it easier for the government to conscript eligible persons, and harder for draft dodgers to evade conscription.

      Jacqueline Jill Smith, Baroness Smith of Malvern, PC, is a British politician, broadcaster and life peer who has been serving as Minister of State for Skills and Government spokesperson for Equalities since 2024. A member of the Labour Party, she was Member of Parliament for Redditch from 1997 to 2010.

      …..

      Jacqui ‘I’m a disgrace and shouldn’t be a peer’ Smith was given a peerage over the weekend to serve as education minister in Starmer’s “change” government. Co-conspirators will remember that Smith was the first to fall to expensegate in 2009 – taxpayers paid for her husband’s porno thrills and almost everything else, literally including the kitchen sink, right down to her 88p bath plug.

    Getting down to business in this bad girls edition

    Trump wants peace. Ukrainians fear what that might look like – frets the BBC.

    Gosh, I do hope ‘Trump’s peace’ (and this wasn’t Trump’s war… it didn’t happen on his watch, mind you) hope it doesn’t involve giving up territory and paying huge reparations – you know, like some Keir Starmer Chagos-style deal.

    It may be Valentine’s Day but there’s no love lost for the Daily Star from BBC news staff.

    Shoulda gone with Orange Man Baby loves Big Vladdy – That woulda piqued the interest of the gynaeceum that is BBC news staff.

    Instead the jokey blokey Star’s cover page lampoons our Rachel from accounts, Bank of England chief custodian of the keys – to the stationery upboard… as Pinocchio.

    Chancellor’s CV in full – mocks the popular tabloid. Blimey, it’s not like the Star to go with historical fantasy literature on its frontpage. I jest of course.

    And where does that Pinocchio gag get the jokey blokey one in the BBC’s affections? Not even the consolation of the ‘and finally’ spot. Instead it’s the ignominy of second from last place in their online print press frontpage line-up.

    The Daily Star leads with a mock CV of Rachel Reeves after her online résumé came under scrutiny. (BBC) – comments our BBC huffily.

    The red top tabloid Sun brings up the rear this Valentine’s Day – I don’t think they quite get the whole hearts and roses lovey-dovey sentiment thing: Kate Price Exclusive ‘I snogged Cowell & two England footie stars..and I should be in jail’ (Sun)

    Roses are red, violets are…

    Blue on blue: relating to an attack in which soldiers, etc. are injured or killed by their own army or by soldiers on the same side as them (Thank you Cambridge Dictionary)

    Race-row Apprentice star quits… A favourite to win BBC’s The Apprentice has quit after he was accused of using racist language. Cosmetic dentist Dr Jana Denzel is understood to have used the highly offensive term “coloured” to describe a black person during a task (Sun)

    Quick semantic racial question… these day, is the term ‘race-row’ hyphenated?

    Embellishment of one’s résumé is somewhat par for the course in business – as Lord Sugar, he of The Apprentice (a somewhat poundshop UK version of the Donald Trump TV show) would no doubt confirm.

    I like the Mark E Smith (he of the punk and post-punk band The Fall) quote: “Are you still doing what you were doing two years ago? Well, don’t make a career out of it”

    The Daily Mail earns its low place in the BBC print press line up this morning with some pecuniary accusations against our Rachel…

    This story realtes to: Chancellor was probed over expense claims before she left HBOS… investigated for fiddling her expenses… internal audit into Ms Reeves and two fellow managers after a whistleblower complained they were using their company expense accounts to ‘fund a lifestyle’… lavish dinners, taxis and gifts, including for each other… £152 handbag on expenses as a Christmas gift for her boss in 2008. The boss, who signed off Ms Reeves’ claims, gave her a £55 wine gift the same Christmas. Other expenses-funded purchases by Ms Reeves are said to have included perfume, jewellery and wine. (Mail)

      Ghanaian wins right to stay in Britain after staging marriage she did not attend
      Francisca Boateng wins immigration appeal as union with German man ruled long enough to allow her to stay in UK
      https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02/13/ghanaian-tourist-granted-asylum-after-proxy-marriage/

      A Ghanaian tourist was granted the right to live in Britain under Brexit marriage rules – even though she did not attend her own wedding.

      Francisca Boateng, 42, won her immigration appeal after claiming that her “proxy” marriage to a German citizen living in Britain had lasted long enough to qualify her to remain in the UK.
