Economy tanking – population out of control – public services dying – Russia victorious ? Time for ‘strictly ‘ … seriously – events are just head spinning . It’s one of those times which will be looked on one day as just ‘wow ‘ . It’s even beyond the BBC propaganda machine .. verify very quiet …

I’ve not been first for a while, and here I am, on the best news day I’ve seen for a long time. Top bbc story? – here is a picture of zelensky looking sad.
Congrats, Mick
It’s late-ish. Perhaps there is that rarest of events, something good on telly?
Nope. I’m still on European dramas – I’ll be speaking Polish like a native at this rate 😉
Am on episode 3 and still all white faces. Diversity isn’t a “thing” yet on tv across the Channel.
Let us know any good ones Brissles.
I went through the entire latest series of the BBC’s ‘Father Brown’ just to see how far in I got before we saw a black resident of Kembleford in the 1950’s.
The longest was 2min 30s – including the opening credits.
I recently found ‘The Beiderbeck Affair’ trilogy. What a pleasant experience that was. They certainly don’t make them like that any more.
Currently we are watching ‘1923’ because my wife loves the scenery. I’m absolutely shocked at how they portray the staff of the Catholic orphanage. They are the most bloodthirsty racists you can imagine. In one scene, the head whitey-male is asking a girl where her friend who ran away went. When she won’t tell him he actually punches her in the face several times in front of all the other catholic women staff. Would anyone senior in any church who volunteers to go work in a remote orphanage for children be like that ?.
If I were Catholic I would be extremely offended by it. But they are white and the ‘victims’ are ‘indigenous Americans’ so apprently it’s fine.
It sums the program up : they clearly have a huge budget for magnificent costumes, sets and actors. But the actual story is simply unbelievable rubbish. The writers have no clue whatsoever about real life.
Go woke. Go broke
Doctor Who facing axe as lead star Ncuti Gatwa ‘quits’ amid woeful rating and fans’ fury at woke storylines
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33425340/doctor-who-axe-ncuti-gatwa-quits-bbc/
Just been reading about that and what people don’t appreciate is that the woke content is 100% deliberate by the BBC. They are using the show as a vehicle to get their ideology into children : they directly admitted it once in an interview by saying that ‘if they present the world as they want it, it might help change it to be like that’.
They will not change it because they don’t need to worry about viewing figures. They get their money anyway. The BIG reason they should be a subscription service : those who disagree with it are still forced to fund it.
It’s what the BBC did with Climate Change. Their big ‘meeting’ (can’t remember its official description) where it was agreed the science on climate change was ‘settled’ certainly included the head of Drama and possibly head of comedy. I’m surprised the head of sport wasn’t there for the free buffet. There was the head of the Tear Fund (a far left charity). Scientists were a bit in short supply although these days there would be loads willing to take the USAID/Soros shilling.
I’d be interested if there was anyone from the hard commercial world at the meeting, and I don’t mean lawyers or number-crunchers, just businesses which actually produce the wealth of UK Inc…
My business was always in construction, making big buildings, sometimes sweeping the floors when the subbies had gone home, and as I’d not heard much about building in general, I clicked on an old favourite of the industry, to see what they thought.
Jesus wept…
https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/
… and I weep too, this government just has to go as soon as possible. We are really mired up in the biggest commercial crisis in living memory, and I’ve NEVER seen headlines for my life’s work as disastrous as these!
To stay on BBBC topic, I just tried to see what the Beeboids’ take was on all this, and surprise, surprise, almost every piece of ‘news’ was about work but in the public domaine, i.e. tax-paid by us! The only other pieces were about some really important firms going bust, and as I remember them well, it disgusts me that the public broadcaster should try and denigrate the proper builders and developers, and their white van men, who used to have the chance to do something about commercial cosnstruction. Housing is just an agenda sideshow compared with what is built to make real money, and Canary Wharf is a fine example of bringing big companies to the UK.
But that was back then, and the Marxist ‘principles’, (my arse), of the ridiculously naive TTK, and his even worse comrades will shatter even more firms this year.
Debs,
The meeting became known as ’28gate’.
Look it up – all the details are there, it was a farce !
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/11/12/breaking-the-secret-list-of-the-bbc-28-is-now-public/
Thanks Jazz!
Weeping even more now, as they’re all lefties and BBBC oiks.
Talk about talking up the biggest scam of the century – none of those names make a difference, they just interfere with real commerce, and then use the Beeboidery to perpetuate the lies and obfuscation!
And that was 19 years ago, we can see how they crept in and do their dirty work which is taken as ‘the norm’ nowadays by useful idiots in all walks of public life!
I tried to find a name from industry, and hoped that IBT meant there was!
Ha ha ha, IBT stands for “International Broadcasting Trust (IBT) helps NGOs work more effectively with the media to ensure audiences remain engaged with global issues”.
Absolute bollocks!

Just to show you are right on the money, I found reference to a BBC bod claiming that they were absolutely deliberately targeting the young age group and had been successful with the ratings in the under 35s segment so to that extent the latest series had been a success!
The fact that everyone else had switched off was apparently unimportant to them.

Gay kiss ‘furore’ to domestic violence: How EastEnders shattered taboos
Say what you like about the BBC, when they find a new hole they just bang on.
A bit late but underhand tricks as the BBC frets over people putting two and two together and voting the wrong way: “Car ramming comes as migration at forefront of German elections”.
“A number of violent incidents linked to migrants over the past year have led to increased support for the far-right AfD party.”
The car-ramming attack in Magdeburg, and another one in Munich, and the stabbing of children in a park in Aschaffenburg (all of which are mentioned in the article) were carried out by Afghan and Saudi migrants. Not merely ‘linked’ to; as if they were loose associations. But the BBC like a bit of wiggle room when it comes to diluting causal connections, especially if you’re arrested at the scene at the wheel of a bloodied car with dead Europeans lying in the street.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0jn09g41dyo
That’s basically how BBC bias works: they seldom actually lie, they just leave things out.
Driver killed cyclist to ‘teach him wheelies lesson’
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyn5g0yze4o
‘A driver murdered a cyclist by deliberately ramming him with his car to teach him a lesson for pulling a wheelie, police said.’
Just another everyday story in multicultural Britain.
Here’s the driver:
But any claims that certain strains of homo sapiens from different lines of evolution might inherit genes which makes them more susceptible to extreme rage is most definitely false anyone who even suggests it is a racist.
Meanwhile science and real-life experience tell us otherwise. But the Left don’t care about that at all. They will deny it simply so they can call the Right ‘racist’ for even suggesting it.
While searching for it, it’s quite amusing how the Left dress it up to try and infer it’s false.
‘The African American respondents reported greater anger-out and lower anger-control than did the White respondents. There were no significant main effects of education or education-by-race interactions that predicted any of the anger scales.’
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4498979/#T2
From 2015.
The general way the Academics try justify it is by saying it’s because whites are racist and blacks don’t get the same education – but anyone who has known someone with these anger issues knows it has nothing whatsoever to do with that. All it means is that the uneducated get more opportunities to show it.
At the end of the day, we are not really different from other animal such as dogs. Certain breeds of dog are known to be far more aggressive than others. It’s just genetics.
This story will be gone from the front page by breakfast.

BBC accused of using Hamas official’s son in documentary about ‘ordinary Palestinians’
https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02/18/bbc-hamas-abdullah-al-yazouri-gaza-complaint/
I’m 100% certain that the majority of the ‘victims’ in their articles have been carefully chosen, dressed and rehearsed by the local BBC Muslims to say exactly what the agenda wants. The beauty of Gaza is that nobody dare go there to verify any of it. They will get their throats cut. The BBC can lie as much as they like.
Thanks, John.
The same story _ Daily Mail.
BBC blasted for ‘blindly spouting propaganda’ after featuring boy claimed to be Hamas leader’s SON in new Gaza documentary.
The BBC faced questions last night after it was accused of ‘blindly spouting’ Hamas propaganda in a documentary.
Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone was broadcast on Monday on BBC Two with the aim of showing a ‘vivid and unflinching view of life’ in the strip.
It was made by two producers based in London who remotely directed two cameramen on the ground over nine months.
Last night, independent investigative journalist David Collier claimed one of the child narrators, Abdullah, is the son of a Hamas government minister and grandson of one of Hamas’s founding members.
Using Facebook and publicly available data online, Mr Collier claimed the show’s young star is the son of Gaza’s deputy minister of agriculture Dr Ayman Al-Yazouri.
This would mean his grandfather would be the Hamas founder Ibrahim al-Yazouri, who has previously been jailed by Egypt and Israel for involvement in proscribed group.
The Daily Mail has not been able to independently verify Mr Collier’s claims.
He also says one of the documentary’s cameramen, Amjad Al Fayoumi, posted the phrase ‘the flood’ with a saluting emoji on Facebook on October 7, 2023, seemingly endorsing the attack.
Writing on his blog, Mr Collier said: ‘The naivety, stupidity and arrogance of our media has long been apparent.
‘It has allowed Palestinian propagandists to turn our legacy channels into foolish outlets blindly spouting Hamas lies 24/7.’
Last night, the former director of BBC Television Danny Cohen said: ‘The BBC appears to have given an hour of prime-time coverage to the son of a senior member of the Hamas terrorist group.
‘Either they were not aware of the terrorist links because they did not carry out the most basic journalistic checks or the BBC did know and misled audiences about the family’s deep involvement with terrorism.’
A spokesman for the Campaign Against Antisemitism added: ‘If these allegations are true then the BBC has essentially published long-form propaganda for an antisemitic genocidal terror organisation with licence-fee funds.’
A BBC spokesman responded: ‘As the BBC has previously explained, the film was edited and directed from London, as independent international journalists are not allowed into Gaza.
‘The film gives audiences a rare glimpse of Gaza during the war, as well as an insight into the children’s lives, it hears the voices of other Gazan civilians, several of whom voice anti-Hamas sentiments
——————————————
Responding to the claim that a cameraman supported the October 7 massacre, they said: ‘The documentary was produced in line with BBC editorial guidelines and under the full editorial control of the BBC team in London.’
The numbers below are shocking, but even more shocking is the fact that the German person who posted it on X was charged and fined €6,000 for simply posting a FACT about immigrant statistics and crime rates… according to the Government’s own figures.

I have taken to watching the Daily Telegraph and Times podcasts. I find the presenters and most contributors are all at sea with the Trump revolution and just can’t believe that their paradigms of a liberal globalist world order that could impose its will on the world are fading fast.
My favourite theme of the last few days is when they discuss Ukraine. I make no comments on the right and wrong of the invasion by Putin or what the cause of it may or may not have been.
What fascinates me is the way in which the commentariat keep bleating about ‘international law ‘ and how Putin cannot possibly be rewarded in any peace deal for breaking the law.
These commentators are , or at least I thought they were , experienced and knew something of the way in which the world worked but in fact they seem like children .
When Great Power interests collide then so called international law goes out the window and whether we like it or not the strongest prevail.
The US has decided that the price of enforcing international law in the Ukrainian war is too high and no one else is willing or able to step into those shoes . Consequently the Ukrainians have no choice but to accept what Trump can get for them.
The commentariat seem unable to understand that laws need to be enforced if they are to work , bleating won’t cut it.
Double – one of the other ‘things’ about ‘international law ‘ is that it is political and not made for the real world – eg ‘refugees’ when in fact its people illegally invading other peoples’ countries for their own advantage . Same with stuff like ‘laws of the sea ‘ – never made for the invasion in the English Channel .
As for the sickness of DT columnists – is the same as the attitude of all those retire diplomats and military kicking at real life from the well appointed shire retirement pads ….
More liars in this bloody shambles of a government. Tory sleaze ?that Rayner, Starmer etc made a career out of in opposition…this lot are, if anything, worse:
“Business Secretary is accused of fabricating his CV and claiming he was a solicitor – despite never qualifying.
Jonathan Reynolds falsely claimed that he was a solicitor despite never formally qualifying as one, it has emerged.
The Business Secretary is facing accusations he ‘fabricated his CV’ after he told the Commons in 2014 he had ‘worked as a solicitor in Manchester City Centre’, a claim he repeated on his website where it showed he worked for law firm Addleshaw Goddard.
After becoming a MP in 2011, Mr Reynolds suggested in a tweet that he found being an elected representative was better for work-life balance than working as a solicitor or a councillor.
This was despite the fact he abandoned training as a solicitor in 2010 in order to run for Parliament – and therefore never achieved the title.
Legal professionals in England and Wales must be registered with the Solicitors Regulation Authority in order to be able to legally practice as a solicitor.
But because he never completed his training course, Mr Reynolds was not able to legally register with the body.
The Telegraph reported screenshots of the Labour minister’s LinkedIn profile also show that he claimed to be simultaneously a solicitor and a ‘trainee solicitor’ between 2009 and 2010.
Under Section 17 of the Legal Services Act 2007, pretending to carry out a ‘reserved legal activity’ or using a title that implies a right to do so is an offence carrying a maximum of six months imprisonment and a fine of £5,000.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14411519/Business-Secretary-accused-fabricating-CV-solicitor-never-qualifying.html
And, here we go again.. the same bloody pathetic, unbelievable excuse as Reeves:
“‘As a former Director of Public Prosecutions @Keir_Starmer should recognise criminal conduct when he sees it.’
“A Labour source suggested that information posted on Mr Reynold’s website was written in the third person and therefore not by him.”
Whoever posted it, it would not be there if he had not lied in the first place
https://dailysceptic.org/2025/02/18/the-attorney-generals-radical-past-is-coming-back-to-haunt-him/
In a sane world, it would have seen him not appointed by a leader of a party now in government, overseen by an msm of professionals.
But… boat long sailed.
Hermer is reported as having donated £5,000 to Starmer’s campaign to become Labour leader in 2020. That proved a good investment 🙂

Excellent news – inflation up from 2.5% to a lovely 3% …. And even better – gas prices going up as well as – I expect – defence spending .
Also – no likelihood of interest rate cuts …
Add all that to the coming NI tax increases – water bills and council tax and Britain will really be a Marxist paradise ….
The budget in 5 weeks – 26 of March is gonna be a doozy ….
So much happy news …..I wonder what we can do to bring their government down …?
Morning Fed!
26th March is five or so weeks before the May elections, (where they’re not being fiddled), and those five weeks will determine the results, assuming the BBC and other leftie groups don’t try and sabotage the opposition outcry to Labour’s catastrophic record!
But they will certainly try…
Hello Scroblene – hope you are well – I think the elections are now cancelled in the name of community safety …
… and those elections in the future will be fixed – Obama Biden style – in order to prevent non approved parties from winning …
@ F2
I have looked but cannot find it, a previous post showing a video where a person had just got out of custody, arrested and locked up all night and under investigation for a Youtube or social media post mentioning starmer and lamposts in the same sentence.
Just a gentle reminder that this lot will do anything to shut down dissent..
I’m fed up with self censorship – if needed I’ll seek political asylum in the US …. I know there will be a long queue …. 77 brigade will administer it …
You get the rubber boat and I’ll get the coach to the coast and the Bovril and barley sugars..

The UK’s inflation rate has jumped from 2.5% to 3% in January – the highest it has been in 10 months.
Grant Fitzner, chief economist at the Office for National Statistics, tells #R4Today this was driven by air fares alongside an increase in food costs and private school fees.
Dulwich College of course has outposts in Asia, serving Lark’s tongues.
Grant is comfy in the studio. #ccbgb
And, more Starmer lies:
“The village where ‘asylum seekers outnumber locals’: Residents living next to RAF airfield housing migrants claim they do not feel safe and are ‘trapped’ in their own homes.
Independent district councillor Mark Ault said he collected three full bin liners of discarded beer cans on the lane leading up to the old airbase last weekend.
There have been reports of men defaecating in the lane leading up to the centre and Melody Temperley’s husband Alan said that on one occasion as he drove slowly along the lane, passing migrants, one of them threw himself onto the bonnet of his car.
‘One neighbour had a man knocking on their door asking for food, despite the fact they get three meals a day. Another time, we saw a man who looked as if he’d been beaten up coming up here.
‘I think there are a lot of fights, and we hear ambulances and police cars going in there quite a lot. She said that she’s seen cars coming up the lane in the dark and planting rucksacks in the bushes for others in the centre to retrieve the next day, and packages being thrown over the 8ft high security fence.
‘I don’t know what’s in those packages, but I’m pretty sure they’re not delivering pizzas,’ said Ms Witcher.
‘We’ve had numerous politicians over the last two years saying that they disagree with being here, including Keir Starmer before he was elected, and so did Wes Streeting.
Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge before the election that the asylum centre ‘needs to close’ now ring hollow.
‘I’ve written to Mr Starmer to remind him of that fact, but had no reply. Now they are going to increase the population from 580 people to 800.’ ”

We weren’t expecting such a sharp rise in inflation – most economists had predicted it would go to 2.8%.
This brings us to the highest annual rate since March last year.”
Well I was expecting it and they can borrow my fag packet next time rather than their overpaid obsequious ‘economists’. In six weeks factory gate and minimum wage will dowse this fire with petrol. No doubt the bBC will be surprised again.
Narrative never puts a loaf of bread on the table.
@ nlp:
“How Rachel Reeves’ disastrous budget has put the ‘final nail in the coffin’ for hair salons.
Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, warned that the gloomy data was ‘the calm before the storm’, as the full impact of Ms Reeves’s policies will be felt when they come into force in April.
Prices are also expected to increase more rapidly, fuelling fears that Britain is facing a period of ‘stagflation’ – when the economy stagnates even as inflation pressures intensify.
Hair salons are among those at risk after the country was hit by a ‘wave of insolvencies’, according to a report by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).
The lobby group’s data arm, CBI Economics, said the looming rise in employer National Insurance contributions and the minimum wage could make employing staff and apprentices unaffordable for the sector.
The British Hair Consortium – which represents 50,000 hairdressers – also said salons are now sacking staff and bringing them back on a self-employed basis to avoid the tax hikes and costs associated with Labour’s reforms of workers’ rights.
Toby Dicker, co-founder of the group, said: ‘Labour’s workers’ rights Bill is effectively over as far as we’re concerned because there will be no employees left to give rights to.’
Mr Dicker says a practice known as ‘disguised employment’, involving self-employed salon teams, has already cost the Treasury £2.4 billion in lost VAT receipts since 2009.
‘The Budget is the final nail in the coffin, after several decades of being ignored as an industry,’ he added.
The report warns there will be no new apprenticeships by 2027 and a 93 per cent fall in jobs in the sector by 2030. This will take the heaviest toll on female workers, with the CBI finding that 84 per cent of those employed in the industry are women.”
One would have thought that with all the trannies around these days there would have been a substantial upturn in hairdressing business.
Any mention of the huge amount of Turkish barbers suddenly appearing in the UK , and that affect on wages ?
Granted, Jan likely in close touch with those the BBC prefers to hear from.
Amazingly I’ve been home dying my hair since the stuff was invented – so visits to hairdressers are rare (too many disasters – rather sit in the dentists chair ) I digress.
My point being, my first box of hair colour in the early 70s was around £3. Today its possible to buy two boxes for £16 ! Considering a trip to the hairdressers can be around £100 now give or take – in 50 odd years with inflation up and down, wages etc, the home hair dye market has barely shifted in price.
bbc reports:-
Jeremy Bowen: No sign of a quick peace dividend for Trump in Ukraine
Afterall bbc you wouldn’t want to suggest that President Trump would resolve this quickly, always put out the negative where Trump is concerned
Once again great minds think alike andy !. I just commented on the same thing.
Hello JohnC
Hope you are well
Why do the left fall for this crap
Jew hating Bowen’s alternative headline “Trump rushes Ukraine peace resolution”.
“China and India are committed to net zero as much as Britain is as to investigating the grooming gangs.”
Jeremy Bowen: No sign of a quick peace dividend for Trump in Ukraine
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg151j5504o
Bowen finally does one of his pathetic empathy pieces on the Ukranian soldiers – though once again you would think they are winning from what he says.
But he hasn’t done it because he thinks they deserve it, he has done it for one reason : to garner anti-Trump comments from the troops there.
It’s full of ‘quotes’ like this one:
‘Peace is possible, she believes, “but they need to stop bombing us first. There can only be peace when they stop doing that. It needs to come from their side because they started this horror.’
“Of course, you can’t trust Putin.”
What a ridiculous thing to write. The bombing stops AFTER you agree a ceasefire to idiot. Not before.
Then he writes:
‘”Peace is possible,” he said. “But I don’t really believe in it. I think that justice will prevail for Ukraine. You have to be cautious.’
And look at this comment from a 70 year old Ukranian ‘justice will prevail’. No mention of victory or winning : a very subtle phrase which reflects the current agenda of saying Russia will not get away with it without any explanation of how. I don’t believe for one second a 70 year picked such specific words which match a BBC/EU agenda topic which is just a few days old.
The one thing I learn from this article is that Bowen only wrote it to use against Trump. Every time he describes their misery, he tries to rub some of it onto Trump when in fact it’s Biden who made this mess. He doesn’t give a shit about any of those people. He only cares how he can use them for the extreme-Left agenda he shares with the BBC.
Everything Bowen writes now disgusts me because I see right through him and know what he is.
And where. He still in that ditch, ‘reporting’, watch over by a perplexed Babushka?
He uses the Royal ‘we’ a lot : I doubt that fat-on-expenses anti-semite could walk more than 100 meters before needing a free 3-course meal these days. And I am 100% certain he has no ethics about pretending the work of others is his own.
Täuschung doesn’t quite cut it for a “Gaslighting” translation…

some BBC “fact checking” that won’t be applied to their reporting of UvdL’s twaddle.
Times Radio TV (?).
Andrew Neil is getting with the Trump revolution , well in part, he thinks not only USAID is bad but he also thinks UK aid is a joke, a total waste of money which takes from British people and enriches already eye watering lay rich African dictators. He points of that the £15 billion pa bill for UK foreign aid would be about what is needed to boost defence spending to a level that the US would consider reasonable.
The Times Radio presenters were shocked and thought that in principle UK foreign aid brought stability to poor countries and so was in the UK’s interests.Neil asked for a single example and scoffed when these children couldn’t produce any.
They really being exposed as knownothing, snowflakes who are well behind the times and clinging to the wreckage of their sinking Globalist world order.
‘My wife fears sex, I fear death’ – impacts of the USAID freeze
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8xlxx58l4o
15 February 2025
Life for Mike Elvis Tusubira, a motorcycle taxi rider with HIV in Uganda, has been turned upside down since US President Donald Trump halted foreign aid last month.
Not only does the 35-year-old fear for his own survival as he takes life-saving anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs – but he says he will have to split up from his wife as they can no longer have safe sex.
His partner is HIV-negative and relies on PrEP, a medicine that reduces the risk of contracting HIV.
“ALL THESE SERVICES ARE FREE”
Don’t worry – TTK will send our money to you so you can go shagging again … I mean WTF ?
£15 billion… Could alternatively be spent on:
More doctors and nurses.
Stopping the Channel invasion.
More police on the streets.
Repairing schools.
Keeping pensioners warm.
Reducing homelessness.
If charitable individuals want to send their personal money overseas then that’s their business and perfectly laudable, but foreign aid is nothing more than state-sponsored theft, siphoning off our money.

An alternative view of the bBC! I understand that it hjas been verified by the bBC so it must be true.
Following Keir Starmer’s re-enactment of the now predictable tragicomic sight of a British PM attempting to get our continental neighbours to agree to something he wants – shades of David Cameron pleading with Angela Merkel to throw him a bone over immigration controls back in 2016 – we kick off in the manner our BBC always prefers to do – with world news events…
Hamas says it will return bodies of four hostages including Bibas family (BBC) – or as the Telegraph rather less equivocally puts it: Bibas children’s bodies to be sent back to Israel – further comment would seem superfluous
Or, as ace legal advocate – yet ‘special needs’ emergency voice coach treatment patient Sir Keir Starmer might say: The truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth about.. SAUSAGES – I jest of course… this is a feature in today’s jokey blokey Daily Star
Nothing to do with: Blundering Keir Starmer makes awkward Gaza ‘sausages’ gaffe in keynote speech. Public speaking is not easy and this is something even the Primie Minister experienced earlier today when he had an awkard slip of the tongue when calling for the return of hostages in Gaza… demanding the return of sausages from Gaza. (Daily Star, September 2024)
The Star headlines with another State of the Nation banger today: Generation JIMJAMS… Millions of workers put on their pyjamas the moment they get home. And half of us wear our jimjams all day when working from home
Next time you wait 45 minutes on the line to be put through for some tax advice from that nice lady at the Inland Revenue and you just happen to hear her pet dog barking or the sound of her washing machine in the background – ask her if she’s wearing her nightie and see where that gets you.

One recalls the classic Eric Morecambe line to André Previn: ‘I’m playing all the right notes – but not necessarily in the right order.’
And finally, for those conservatives who may still yet find a female Nigerian leading the Tory Party at the despatch box in Parliament to be a somewhat discordant sight – they might just note the left-leaning i news this morning to be rather in harmony: Badenoch is saying all the right things… In the wrong way

“Rachel Reeves caught lying on her CV yet again.
The Chancellor’s ‘Who’s who’ entry contains a number of errors in yet another embarrassing headache.”
https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/2015825/rachel-reeves-whos-who-error
“Rachel Reeves has told 12 rotten lies – and they’re about to destroy her.
It’s hard to keep track of Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s lies so I’ve made a list.”
https://www.express.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/2016351/Rachel-Reeves-12-rotten-lies-destroy-her
They will only destroy her if the BBC launch a daily-headline campaign and make a new headline about it every day until she has to resign because of all the pressure. When the BBC do it, the hundreds of small Leftist news sites on the TNI network copy it as well so the exposure is huge.
That’s precisely how they got rid of so many Conservatives. I have yet to see them use it against anyone from Labour. Enough evidence on it’s own to prove their bias.

But you tube has the hannity interview on fox with 47 and Musk – it’s about 30 minutes and really lights up their relationship .

Homosexuality, ‘Blackness’, climate and Trans in particular are issues that the BBC pushes in a way that is designed to persuade or morally browbeat you into accepting.
‘Gay kiss ‘furore’ to domestic violence: How EastEnders shattered taboos’
‘Over its 40-year run, EastEnders hasn’t just been plot twists, emotions and gripping “doof doof” cliffhangers.
It’s also tackled social issues head-on, its stars say.
The series has “done more to create social awareness” on these issues “than probably any documentary”.
“You can introduce those things through a continuing drama, a soap like EastEnders, and inform more people than you possibly would do with a government campaign,”.’

And of course the BBC still peddles the corrupting of young minds…as they attack a dementia sufferer for ‘wrong thought’…
‘Waterloo Road, which is back on BBC One, has a new storyline about a transgender teenager. And you won’t believe how crass it is .
This is the BBC. All its programming is required to be rigorously trans-inclusive.
The storyline goes as follows. Lois (played by Miya Ocego) is a male teenager who identifies as a girl. And in episode six of the new series – available on iPlayer now – he visits a care home to see his dying grandmother, who suffers from dementia. Wheezing and gasping, the old woman just about manages to summon the energy to greet him. In her confused state, however, she accidentally addresses him as Jake – the name he was given at birth by his parents – instead of Lois, the name he now chooses to go by.
How do you suppose he responds? By brushing it off as an innocent slip by an elderly woman with Alzheimer’s, who is in the final hours of her life, and therefore probably deserves to be cut a little slack?
No. Instead, he is aghast – and spends the rest of the episode tearfully fretting that, even though his grandmother had always previously addressed him as Lois, she never truly respected his gender identity.’

This must be Islamophobia…is Tate’s behaviour cultural?…he is a Muslim…surely the BBC is concerned about the ‘backlash’ against Muslims that such reporting might create?
‘Four women who allege they were sexually abused by the social media influencer Andrew Tate have urged the US not to interfere in his case in Romania.
The women said they were “extremely concerned” by reports that US officials had asked Romania to relax travel restrictions against Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, who have dual UK-US nationality.’
It’s also misleading to headline this…as the report later on admits…
‘Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu also denied the reports on X, external, writing: [The US] has not made any requests to [Romania] upon the legal situation of well-known foreign influencers investigated by the Romanian authorities.
“There were no demands either during the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs- Richard Grenell discussion or after it.’
Today was going large on the ridiculous ‘Tell Mama’ claims about Islamophobia raging in Britain….seems most online and not really hate just reasoned criticism.
Today had no opposing views and of course didn’t offer up any of its own…indeed did what it could to bolster the claims noting that there is a false claim about the Islamisation of Europe being spread by malicious actors on social media.
Not really a false claim is it as blasphemhy laws are in force now just for Muslims and demographics are forcing the issue?….as boasted about by Muslims themselves. They claim Islam isn’t a violent and missionary religion intent on pushing Islam onto Europe…the news might suggest otherwise…and tell that to the teacher from Batley who is still in hiding scared for his life.
The BBC illustrates the problem as it accepts without question claims from a highly political lobby group and fails to challenge or counter any of their claims…a failing that politicians themselves display as they cringe at being thought ‘racist’ and of course take the knee in order to beg for their votes.
And what Today fails to mention is this…might this not be the reason for ‘Tell Mama’s’ ‘shocking exposé?…trying to influence the government…with the BBC helping them along…

CAIRO: Some of Egypt’s most renowned Islamic thinkers have offered mixed reactions to the case of Gillian Gibbons, the British primary school teacher who was imprisoned in Sudan for insulting Islam.
Gibbons was found guilty by a Sudanese court of insulting Prophet Mohamed, for allowing her students to name a teddy bear Mohamed as part of a school project.

George Galloway interviewed the Tate brothers a few weeks ago. Interviewer and interviewees might not be to everyone’s taste, but it was an opportunity to hear them in their own words – something which the BBC and other controlled media do not allow, which immediately raises suspicions amongst fair minded people. Andrew Tate comes across as rather boisterous, his brother is far more measured, but it’s difficult to see how they constitute some sort of threat to anyone.
“They are very selective on sex cases aren’t they ? I watch Bill Clinton swanning around at every liberal soiree, when he was the most rapacious sexual predator ever to serve in the Whitehouse. He put a havana cigar in the vagina of his teenage intern and smoked it.
But that hasn’t crossed him off the dinner party list as opposed to Trump who they label as a sexual predator”
Ah, but his cigar antics don’t count as sex, as the great man himself said:

tomo’s post worth expanding upon, as it explains the far left’s panic:
“DOGE can’t be stopped because it’s a very technical team.”
Trump and Elon Musk make a killer combination — One has business and politics, the other has wildly hi-tech science (and business skills too). For decades the Blob controlled science, captured it and strangled it to make it dependent. But they crippled their own teams so badly that one man came to achieve more than NASA. So it’s fitting that the same man came back to outflank the Blob’s technical defenses and leave them bare…
Joe Lonsdale, a tech venture capitalist who made his millions selling software to the Defence department, explains why Elon Musk and his tech expertise change everything this time.
According to him, when Reagan tried to get answers from the bureaucracy, he didn’t have the technical help. They would ask questions but “there are so many ways of obscuring and to block these things. ” As Lonsdale describes it,
“– no president has done this, ever. No President has ever had tech people around him.”
Lalonde: Elon got root access
They went to the systems… and they started finding things, like “oh my goodness” and these people who work for the agencies tried to confront them, “you can’t look at the systems” “you’re getting around all our ability to block this stuff… “We thought you’d never actually get to see this stuff”. They’re freaking out.
So it’s very transparent … they actually saw the payments, …the payments were going out to crazy s***. There were payments to people with the same social security numbers, payments to people with no social security numbers … to internews network which is training media all around the world how to have a certain point of view — it’s a very left point of view. There are payments to protestors…
Details of MPs’ expenses revealed
This article is more than 16 years old
Anil Dawar Fri 4 Apr 2008 17.47 BST
The former prime minister Tony Blair claimed £116 to pay for his TV licence,( HA HA HAAH! EVERYONE PAYS! HA HA AHHA)
while his successor, Gordon Brown, claimed £2,000 for cleaning, according to details of MPs’ expenses released today. In the same year, Blair’s then-deputy, John Prescott, claimed £4,000 for groceries.
The figures relating to the year 2003-04 were given to the BBC after the information commissioner ruled that House of Commons authorities were wrong to withhold them.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2008/apr/04/houseofcommons
Since the original request, the House of Commons authorities have fought to keep the details secret on the grounds of the MPs’ personal security.
… fought to keep the details secret on the grounds of the MPs’ personal security.
… grounds of the MPs’ personal security.
Blair claimed £15,489.78 including a much leaner food bill than his deputy at £174.71. His mortgage costs amounted to £4,523 and the repair and maintenance was £5,235.
“Transparency is the best way to remind politicians that the £22,000 figure is a limit, not a target to aim for.”

The Canadian crashed plane’s rate of landing descent was 1100 feet per minute, the navy pilot interviewed here says even they would only land an F18 on an aircraft carrier at 800 ft per min….
With a gusty cross wind at 40 degrees off, (this navy pilot checked the weather) despite officials claiming wind was not an issue…
landing gear looks like it sheared off on one wing talking the wing with it, because the landing was so hard, leaving only one wing which lifted, causing it to roll over..

New knife laws will make difference, says victim’s sister
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g0ldgvnx3o
“The home secretary has said the government is on a “mission” to halve knife crime over the next 10 years” – on a mission as it thats meant to impress anyone. Over the next 10 years, as if this lot in government will be there after the next election
The “government” fiddles while Rome burns
As many have quoted on here, the problem isn’t knifes, its the culture behind them and the 3rd world governments have welcomed here
Everyone is afraid to identify the problem. Even victims are afraid to admit this is a problem with blacks. 13% of London’s population, 61% of the knife murderers.
The trouble is every measure that could be taken to deal with the problem directly would have bad optics. It would look like blacks were being discriminated against. It would look like we didn’t believe the liberal myth that blacks are exactly the same as whites, that they might be … inferior. I am in favour of the death penalty for murder but it would always appear as if the system was racist because blacks would inevitably figure prominently amongst the condemned.
So many people, not just the biased media, don’t understand that blacks are the problem. Year in, year out, we have discussions on the BBC where the blame is put on cutlery or shopkeepers or Amazon – but blacks are never mentioned once.
They will always be the source of the problem until there is a system of apartheid in this country or they are all shipped back to Africa.

R5 just now —
Naga, whose real name is Subha Nagalakshmi Munchetty-Chendriah, chats with a Tory MP about the couple arrested in Iran on spying charges. The wife is a life coach and apparently they were on a motorbike trip to collect evidence on “what it means to be human, to be positive”. Next up would have been Pakistan.
Before arrest she posted: “Despite the advice of friends, family, and the FCDO … we’ve chosen to keep moving forward. Why? Because we believe that, no matter where you are in the world, most people are good, kind humans striving for a meaningful life.”
No doubt she’ll be inundated with interview requests if she makes it back. That sort of one-world naivety doesn’t go unrewarded by the MSM.

Just imagine, if we had a Trump. He would send out the SAS to pick up a half-a-dozen Iranian businessmen/Embassy employees and then Trump would tell the Iranians, “two can play that game”
We had the balls to do it in 1980. An indication of how pitiful the ruling class is now.
I remember the uproar when Boris cut the foreign aid from 0.7% of GDP (A figure David Milland picked out of the air 15 years ago) to 0.5%
