    “Police said the man – described as white, in his 30s”

    Hang on bbc, you mention white! Often the colour is omitted when it suits your gender, ie knife crime etc etc, and you want to show certain people in a favourable light

    The greatest leaders in the world …. soft power ….

    “Meanwhile, cross-party MPs and peers of the Net Zero Scrutiny Group, chaired by Lord Mackinlay, have written to Miliband accusing him of “playing into Putin’s hands” for shutting down the UK’s last remaining shale gas wells. Zelensky has urged Europe to “step up” to achieve real energy independence, yet the continent still relies on Russia for around 20% of its gas needs—a number that’s only increasing.”

    So, it’s clear now, if you don’t like someone, whatever you do don’t post anything nasty on facebook, or send a text, or put stickers on lamp posts, you could go IMMEDIATELY to jail on remand, then for months or years.

    Instead, smack the shit out of them until they fall to the ground then carry on hitting them, in front of a camera, sit at home for months as a sitting MP , then 10 weeks max, or maybe only if you are a labour MP.

    And, since it is under a year’s sentence, you can still be an MP…..

    The BBC website is running a bizarre article – sometimes hit-piece, sometimes publicity puff piece – on Herr Merz, the German politician set to become next Chancellor of the Fatherland after securing a massive, er, 28% of the popular vote. The article is titled ‘Friedrich Merz: Risk-taker who flirted with the far right’. Yeah, sure. The only time he flirted with the far right was when his car got too close to the kerb on the other side of the road, but I digress.

    The BBC article tells us lots of important information, including that he’s a Catholic (the horror) and once raced through the streets on a motorcycle (double horror). We get a bio on his journey through business and politics. The BBC don’t really like him, but pretend to play nice as he’s set to be a key player in the new 4th Reich that will fight the nasty Russians (he might want to check the history books though, as it didn’t turn out too well for the Germans last time they tried, though in fairness they did get a lot of help from the Ukrainians). And, of course, the BBC are as selective as ever. They don’t mention that he was a leading light in BlackRock Germany, or that he’s heavily involved with the WEF (attended this year), or has attended Bilderberg (attended last year). No, no, no, globalist credentials are never to be mentioned – that’s all Far Right conspiracy stuff, don’t you know.

    Somewhat misleading headline…

    ‘The former leader of Reform UK in Wales has appeared in court accused of accepting bribes to make statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia.’

    He was once leader of Reform UK in Wales but wasn’t when these alleged offences took place…BBC trying to smear Reform by association…and misdirection.

    Wonder if we should have a similar story for the BBC’s ‘alleged’ offences promoting a terrorist organisation such as Hamas? A UKipper promoting Russian propaganda and the BBC promoting a terrorist organisation.

    In the BBC’s world some things can be true and untrue at the same time, and some things can be moral and immoral at the same time….it all depends on whether the BBC wants to support you or not.

      I heard on TalkTV this afternoon on radio that The Sun has exposed the BBC funding of HAMAS has been confirmed to the tune of £400,000 and was paid to the ‘independent producer’ that just so happened to be the son of the top member of HAMAS. The BBC have been forced to declare this in Newspapers tomorrow but it was The The Sun that got the ‘Gotcha’, since the BBC denied everything, – as they will do tomorrow..

      Incidentally, as I read today in DT one reader wrote a very important point in the ‘COMMENTS’ section regarding the BIAS at the BBC . (The BBC denying to call (HAMAS) a ‘terrorist organisation’, which it clearly is, even in GAZA, although not for some strange reason at the BBC, useful idiots, as they are.
      https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02/24/bbc-bias-is-not-just-inept-its-becoming-sinister-hamas/

      BBC breaking the law by funding terrorists!
      Therefore, paying the BBC TV license is actually breaking the UK law with today’s disclosure that the BBC are caught funding openly – a’ terrorist group’ — it will be interesting to see how the BBC get out of this one!, with their denials, a Court challenge seems likely…. What fun! How will the BBC defend itself, or will it invoke the TV Charter that it cannot be charged with ‘bias’ as it is immune (legally) from such charge due to the TV license…. due to the unique way the BBC is funded… every means to VERIFY the source was erh – not Verified at the time due to lack of (insert suitable phrase) and then blame TRUMP or Israel.

    We are paying £500,000 a year to store the dinghies (in case an owner comes to claim one)

    We are paying £2 million a year on private vessels to go out, look for and collect empty dinghies.

    How is this allowed to carry on.
    These dinghies were used for a criminal purpose so anybody coming to claim one should be arrested (so nobody will claim one)
    They could be burnt/scrapped/buried/sold off or given to some 3rd world place that could use them in their rivers and lakes.

    I smell a huge bent operation here. When Reform get in at the next election I hope they look into this scam and get money back from the whole lot of them involved.

    Can you imagine any other Nation doing something so daft as this. It’s probably somebodies human rights or something.

    Throughout Europe every murder committed by migrants will add tens of thousands of votes to whichever challenger party is relevant in a particular country, eg RN in France , AfD in Germany.
    I accept that the UK population seems to be more ‘tolerant’ of murdering migrants than do the French and growing numbers of Germans and of course the USA is leading by example in cracking down on migrants.
    Therefore I think that Reform must not lag behind on this issue and need to be bolder in their statements on the issue.The same is true of Net Zero as household energy bills increase.

    Both these issues will become ever bigger vote winners in the next few years and points of differentiation from the old Globalist parties who will find it difficult to radically change their policies on these two issues. Reform must target them and score in pretty much open goals.

    Some years ago, I read an article about the legendary Peter De Savary, in which he stated that, “If you’re going to shake my hand on a deal, you’d better understand exactly what you’re shaking my hand for” (or words to that effect)…

    Just looking at pics of President Trump meeting a few ‘world leaders’ (sic) like Macron, reminds me of that statement, and when TTK arrives, all pink-faced, farting and belching at DC Plane Landing Place, speaking in his standard-grade snivel serpent-whining, subservient elocution, I can only cringe at The Donald’s disdain for such an insignificant individual, wondering why he thinks he can strut the world’s stage and make a difference!

    Dialogue like this…

    TTK – “phnarghhh, – er – Mr President – er – my sausages – er – government – er – will do everything in its ‘power’ to – er – stop wars an’ start world peace with zero petrol an’ lots of farms for wind-things to make electricity an’ that, an’ tariffs can start whenever you want, we don’t mind, we give money to anyone who asks us… phnarghhh… “(and another phnarghhh, off camera, which by then won’t be recorded as the press will have got totally bored with listening to the twonk, and packed up and gone home for a pizza and a huge Budweiser).

    All the hiding of the facts achieved was the jailing of some rightly enraged British people however misled.

    I was pondering the conviction, for assault, of Labour MP Michael Amesbury. How many MP’s have been known to commit assault and/or been convicted? I can only think of Labour MP’s that I have known to commit assault plus a quick Google search, they are:

    John Presott (not convicted)
    Neil Kinnock (not convicted)
    MP Eric Joyce (Convicted)
    Michael Amesbury (Convicted)

    I can’t find a Conservative MP who has or remember one. Perhaps left wing Labour types don’t like being questioned or contradicted. The facts are that Michael Amesbury became involved in a heated discussion regarding a road closure. Perhaps his victim was being unreasonable but Amesbury seems to have found it necessary to reinforce his argument with fists. It’s also a fact that Smarmer’s Stalinist Government is incredibly aggressive in it’s measures, there’s a very noticeable nasty implementation of its recent tax measures and withdrawal of winter FA without notice, VAT and Business Rates on private Schools half way through the academic year. It’s clear they don’t give a toss who is destroyed with their treatment of the public. Amesbury is probably a direct, hands on, implementation of National Socialism.

    Remember this ? – from the ‘Centre for European Reform’ to try and interfere with the Brexit vote just one month before the refrendum:

    An EU army? Four reasons it will not happen
    https://www.cer.eu/insights/eu-army-four-reasons-it-will-not-happen

    ‘Britain’s eurosceptics have spent years frightening people with the idea of an ‘EU Army’. It should not come as a surprise, therefore, that the subject is once again rearing its head in the referendum campaign. But the reality of European defence co-operation does not match the rhetoric’

    And now we see the reality. Trump has been in office for a month and will only be here for short time relatively speaking but they are already well on the way to doing it.

    Watch the narrative start to change and tell us how NATO needs ‘reform’ – and that reform will be to morph it into the EU’s own offensive tool to ‘counter Russia’ who have not given any indication whatsoever that their territorial ambitions are more then creating a NATO-free buffer zone in Eastern Ukraine.

    We are witnessing the transition of the EU into the armed ‘superstate’ we all feared it would before Brexit. And remember their leader is chosen behind closed doors. The MP’s can only vote to approve that choice. The people have no say whatsoever.

    At this point, Trump has not done anything against NATO except demand everyone pays their share. Watch how he is demonised now and any attempts to go against this EU objective will be shot down and sabotaged – just like all the peace initiatives for Ukraine.

    ‘People will starve’ because of US aid cut to Sudan
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy7x87ev5jyo

    ‘The freezing of US humanitarian assistance has forced the closure of almost 80% of the emergency food kitchens set up to help people left destitute by Sudan’s civil war, the BBC has learned.’

    ‘BBC has learned’ = The BBC pretend someone told them something which fits their agenda and they make out it’s fact when in fact it’s from an untraceable, extremely biased source.

    A bit like the famine in Gaza which we only just learned was never even near being a famine. It was all lies.
    New study: There was no famine in Gaza… according to famine review groups’ own data
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/new-study-there-was-no-famine-in-gaza-according-to-famine-review-groups-own-data/
    It was more UN lies. And more BBC lies by omission : they haven’t reported it.

    And Sudan are having a civil war ?. Can’t recall reading about that : strange how the BBC didn’t care much about it until it had something they could throw at Trump isn’t it ?.

    So who are fighting this civil war which the BBC don’t really want us to know about ?.

    It’s between the Sudanese Armed Forces whose chief of staff is called Muhammad Othman al-Hussein and the ‘Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) who are headed by ‘Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo’.

    Normally the BBC would rally around any Muslims they can portray as victims and give us endless empathy – but it seems Russia are involved to help the RSF so the BBC don’t want us to know anything about any of it.

    Proving yet again that the gross BBC hypocrites don’t give a shit about people being slaughtered if they can’t use it for their agenda. And once again demonstrating why the ethics of the Left disgust me so much.

        Just reading this:
        US sides with Russia in UN resolutions on Ukraine
        https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7435pnle0go

        The details of why are unimportant to the BBC : they just want to be as negative to Trump as they can.

        Contrast with this:
        Vote condemning Hamas for firing rockets into Israel fails at UN
        https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-46477163

        Here they write:
        ‘A Hamas spokesman said the outcome was a “slap” to President Donald Trump’s administration.’
        ‘Iran’s Deputy UN Ambassador Eshagh al-Habib said the US was trying to deflect attention away from the root causes of the conflict.’
        ‘Its supporters see it as a legitimate resistance movement which came to power through elections, last held in 2006.’
        The BBC – of course – being one of those supporters.

        It appears the vote was rigged by the UN:
        ‘A vote to require a two-thirds majority was narrowly backed by 75 to 72, with 26 abstentions.’
        ‘Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said the resolution had been hijacked by this procedural decision.’

        But we don’t go into that at the BBC. Only Trump cheats.

        The UN has shown itself to be a complete left-wing activist farce and it’s reputation is now so tarnished, it can never recover. Hopefully it will be next on Trumps list.

    Ofcom cracks down on ‘hypermasculine’ web (Telegraph) – this is our unelected regime patronage-appointed regulatory quango gifted with wide-ranging powers across the television, radio, telecoms and postal sectors.

    Think of it as a peculiar cross between the scolding Mary Whitehouse Clean Up TV Campaign and the hyper-liberal tendencies of our BBC’s old “we think we got it about right” in-house complaints department.

    Officially speaking – it has a statutory duty to represent the interests of citizens and consumers by promoting competition and protecting the public from harmful or offensive material (Thank you Wiki)

    As with every elongated extention of the state octopus-like outreach into every aspect of our lives there’s a tendency for both mission creep and for empire-building bureaucratic bloat.

    Ofcom has received criticism for incurring unnecessary costs as a result of “extravagant Thames-side offices” and a “top-heavy salary bill”, for inflexibility in its regulation of commercial radio, and for “poor service”

    Britian will tackle “hypermasculine” social media after Ofcom urged technology giants to take action against “misogyny influencers”. The digital watchdog has proposed new measures to tackle online abuse of women and girls (Telegraph) – well how about new measures to tackle online abuse of everyone – whatever their gender – male, female or whatever?

    …urging social media sites to go “above and beyond” their legal duties when tackling sexist speech (Telegraph)

    Speaking of going above and beyond your legal duty in policing social media for hurty words: Woman visited by police after anti-Labour Facebook posts (Times); Detectives accused of acting like Orwellian ‘Thought Police’ as they doorstep gran for slamming Labour councillors on Facebook (GB News) – a case of an elderly female harassed and intimidated in the real world by a pair of male plod for the non-crime of her daring to speak up against those bantering blokish Labour councillors – that’s not exactly what Ofcom would have us fret about this morning. Almost the opposite in fact.

    It warned that “misogynistic influencers” were being “rewarded” with “greater reach, particularly to boys and young men” by algorithms (Telegraph)

    Mr AsI has the impression that that particular shoe (kitten heel) is somewhat on the other foot – at least in our mainstream broadcast and print media.

    To wit…

    Does you husband have miserable man syndrome? (Telegraph)

    No hiding place for predators… Jess Phillips minister for safeguarding and violance against women and girls (giveaway Metro)

    I actually burned my bra in the 70s – we need to bring back feminism By Yasmin Alibhai-Brown (i news)

    You get the picture – “feminist misandry influencers” being “rewarded” with “greater reach” in the mainstream media particularly to girls and young women and indeed to boys and young men – although this not quite so young man is nevertheless trying very hard to blot out that last image of our Yasmin.

        Did OFCOM search Labour Council WhatsApp chats to create this list?

        I note many are allusions to lady parts, though some in recent popular lexicon are missing, doubtless in deference to our globetrotting ginger DPM.

      Asiseeit , thanks for the postings . Having seen the likes of JD giving speeches where he encourages guys to be guys and girls to be girls I got a feeling that in the UK – the monsters now in charge would ‘doubke down ‘,with even more socialist control up to 2029 ….. and that BBCOFCOM nonsense supports my view ….

      .. elsewhere – macron didn’t seem to get the warm welcome from DJT he was hoping for – and I guess he stayed in the DC premiere inn ©️ before going home today …. Im not even sure he was invited .. and the polish PM? Who had invited himself got to wait 90 minutes while DJT watch some ;fox’…

    Ramadan volunteers to give food to students
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvge6rrnemyo

    “Volunteers will give out hundreds of food parcels to hungry students during Ramadan”

    “clearly need more money in their pockets” and that the number of students using food banks had doubled to 14%”

    “It shows how important food actually is.” – no way!

    P off bbc, hungry students!

    Presumably as this ramadan, the muslims are looking after their own as usual

      £400K To Hamas ….

      “I am tendering my resignation because for some time past I have been conscious that I was wasting my own time and the public money on doing work that produces no result. I believe that in the present political situation the broadcasting of British propaganda to India is an almost hopeless task. Whether these broadcasts should be continued at all is for others to judge, but I myself prefer not to spend my time on them when I could be occupying myself with journalism which does produce some measureable effect. I feel that by going back to the normal work of writing and journalism I could be more useful than I am at present.”

    Israel demands complete demilitarisation of southern Syria
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgenz02lp8o

    “It is an announcement that could make conflict between Israel and the new leadership in Syria, after the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad, more likely.”

    More likely – because the bbc said “could” above, so may, might, might not, just more speculation and not helpful

    Israel has the right to defend itself bbc and not just allow another build up of hostile forces on its border – wouldn’t you agree, well guess not!

      Request
      For the most recent financial year for which you have complete claims records, please could you tell me how many Members of Parliament (including Government Ministers) issued expenses claims for utility bills (specifically gas or electricity) on either their primary or secondary homes?

      If in addition you could point me to guidance issued to MPs on claiming utility bills on expenses, that would be appreciated.

      https://www.theipsa.org.uk/freedom-of-information/rfi-202208-12

      To view utility costs claimed for London accommodation

      Select the MP, scroll down to ‘Business Cost’, click on ‘Accommodation’ and then select ‘Utilities’.

      To view utility costs claimed for offices

      Select the MP, scroll down to ‘Business Cost’, click on ‘Office Costs’, then select the drop-down option ‘Utilities’.

    According to Trump in the Elon Musk video on X I posted above, the idea of these emails was to actually see if these people “existed” as, he states that they suspect quite strongly, that many do not even exist.

    Despite this, many people now have to do a timesheet each week at work, especially when your employers is charging a client as in construction, for example, so they can see what they are paying for.

    So not a problem for them, although some are “struggling” with it….

      I was watching this stuff on fox and the comments section was 100% supportive – a mix of taxpayers wanting accountability abd people in some strange thing called ‘ the private sector ‘ suggesting that many are accountable – by the day -or even the hour .
      It was a cheap direct way for Elon to stir the pot as taxpayer funded employment is a huge waste – everywhere … I mean – plod can send 2 detectives to a house to tell the occupant they haven’t done anything wrong … perhaps over funded ….

    Utter bullshit.

    If the authorities wanted to reel in the phone thieves there are absolutely ways of doing so.

    That they don’t is tacitly sanctioning the thefts and using the quantity of thefts as a Trojan horse for yet more repressive legislation.

        So the police are being given powers to break into someones home and search it without requiring any kind of warrant ?. I can’t begin to imagine how much that power would be abused to persecute people on the Right.

        Sounds a lot like the Gestapo to me.

        MM,
        It is very convenient (too convenient) that all this increasingly restrictive style of legislation is only really necessary since the massive influx of foreigners who have no regard for our laws.

        Thanks Bliar.
