    26 males
    4 females
    3 children

    That is the ratio of people on a cross channel rubber boat as given in the recent ITV series ‘Unforgotten’ in a sympathetic asylum seeker story thread.

    So if even sympathisers admit to such distribution, how come the BBC always focus on the ‘desperate women and children’?
    But always fail to mention the ‘desperate women and children’ who presumably are left behind while all the young males have done a runner.

      The normal ratio would be 100% fit young males, but I will give some small credit here to the writers. The rest of the series was the most incredible wokefest, in which the people who killed and dismembered the victim were actually let off (“not in the public interest to prosecute”) because he was such a vile individual. By this they mean he was male, white, pro-Brexit and anti-immigrant. What a rotter, he deserved to die!

    I just googled ‘mannheim car deaths’ and all the top returns are one day old. There has been no new reporting !!!!!
    Except deep down on page 2 of the search returns we find, from 15 hours ago, that the driver may have had ‘psychological problems’. Yes, that old chestnut again.
    A conspiracy of silence speaks louder than words. Don’t want to risk causing offence, do we?

      ‘Silence is violence’

      This is another phrase the Left have invented the meaning specifically for their own agenda. I am told it means:
      ‘Inaction or indifference towards violence aimed at oppressed groups is tantamount to direct violence against those groups.’

      Why should it only apply to ‘oppressed groups’ ?. This is how it SHOULD have been worded:

      ‘Inaction or indifference towards the violence people of a specific group do to another group is tantamount to direct violence against that group.’

      But of course that would include all the things the enrichment do and the Left would be guilty of it every time they sweep these stories under the carpet. So they have specifically worded it out just as they have for the definition of ‘racist’.

      This is another good example of the extreme double-standards and hypocrisy of the Left.

    • Eddy Booth says:

      I’d say yes, at least if he can get the new border set to the current control line, sanctions lifted, frozen assets released, and no NATO for Ukraine.

      These drones, armed with explosives, and super accurate artillery make it so hard to advance.
      He can’t really go all in either, as he has to hold a lot back in case some other country like Poland gets involved.

      Putin is a pragmatist. He sees what needs to be done and he does it without flinching or caring much about the people involved : life is cheap in Russia. When ISIS occupied a village in the middle East, he simply erased the village. Innocent locals along with them. It’s brutal but he did the job we couldn’t. It’s how Russia has always been.

      I believe he will not stop this war until either at least the Eastern half of Ukraine is out of bounds for NATO or he takes it all by force. I am certain he will agree to end it if he can be sure of that – but will he trust the EU and the USA to uphold any agreement ?. I don’t think I would.

      The recent lies have been that we can;t have a ceasefire because it would allow Russia to rearm. That is 100% bullshit : any ceasefire is greatly to Ukraines advantage for THEM to re-arm. They are short of equipment far more than Russia is.

      This leads to one of the biggest reasons he might not stop fighting : as soon as he does, the EU will be rushing to re-arm Ukraine as much as possible ready for fighting to restart.

      He will trust Trump at his word, but he also knows Trump could be gone in a second. They tried twice already and now they realise Trump is deadly serious about what he said he would do.

      I have to say I don’t trust my own government or the EU or the BBC any more than I trust Putin. I am still stunned by all the lies we are told. It’s like they decided they don’t care what informed people think, they just want the ignorant majority to believe it and support what they do.

    All my right leaning friends are either sending me or showing me a meme of Zelenskyy in the Oval Office smacking Trump in the chops. I wondered if USAID, Putin or some ‘Brains’ in their attic produced it. Whilst not having seen the whole 50 minute press conference I have read enough to believe that Zelenskyy was winding up the President and his side kick possibly on the instructions of the Democrats he met just beforehand and had campaigned for. I suggest my friends watch the whole.e 50 mins.

      Deborah – as I’ve said here – I watched it all live . Zelenski didn’t seem ‘right ‘ to me . Whether it was drugs or tiredness or the need for interpreter or the failure to realise where he was and who he was talking to – he owned the argument and deserved to be thrown out . I bet his life insurance is huge – paid by USAID because he won’t be having many more birthdays …. Both Russia and the US want him gone …

    I’m sick to the back teeth now of the BBC being as sneering and disrespectful as they can possibly be about Trump while staying on the fringe of what is currently considered acceptable to them.

    The ‘Live Update’ for his speech to Congress has:
    ‘.. and touted the actions his administration has taken so far.’

    ‘past tense: touted; past participle: touted
    1. attempt to sell (something), typically by pestering people in an aggressive or bold manner.
    “Jim was touting his wares”‘

    Not a complimentary way to say it at all – yet the BBC have on the front-page headline.

    Into the article: straight away I get:
    ‘Senator Elissa Slotkin’s rebuttal on behalf of Democrats was instead solemn and simple.’
    Then we get a detailed reports of how she slags down Trump and Musk. I see her response gets no less than EIGHT separate reports.

    Next we have the BBC’s own Ukranian editor:
    ‘Bezpiatchuk says the president didn’t give “any clear vision” of what he means by “peace”, or mention anything about “any security guarantees for Ukraine” or “whether he is ready to resume” military aid.’
    Right on agenda there Bezpiatchuk.

    Then a short paragraph for a Republican before we get:
    ‘New York Democrat Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez – who skipped Trump’s address – is giving her response to the speech live on Instagram.’
    And here we have more blatant slagging Trump down from someone who wasn’t even at the speech. This vile woman is always a favourite for the BBC. How can they possibly justify giving her personal Instagram account a soapbox in this article ?.

    Next up is BBC Verify telling us Trump lied about $350 billion for Ukraine.

    Next a summary of the speech:
    First we are Told Trump took a ‘whopping 1 hours and 40 minutes’
    Then we are told Al Green was ejected because he rose in protest and refused to sit down.
    Next we are informed how Trump spoke of ‘ Trump’s favourite topics, including blasting US immigration policies’

    I stopped reading it there. It’s got nearly as much coverage of the Democrats protests as it does about the speech.

    I remember reading one for Biden and it had nothing but praise in it. I can’t seem to find it using google though : I’ll keep looking.

    What this does do though is illustrate what is really wrong in the world now. The media are all left-wing activists. This negative portrayal of Trump because they don’t like him shows they have no regard for truth any more and hence I do not trust a single thing they tell me now.

    Here’s the BBC summary from when Biden did it. Nothing but praise:
    Five key moments from Biden’s first speech to Congress
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56924684
    Their paragraph headlines in it are:
    ”Madam Vice-President, Madam Speaker”
    Celebrating the fact both are women
    ‘Truth over lies’
    The liar being Trump of course.
    ‘Root out systemic racism’
    A reference to the criminal drug-dealer/addict Floyd
    Wealthy need to ‘pay their fair share’
    ‘We have to prove democracy still works’

    Totally different to the tone we get for Trump.

    And if you want a real laugh, have a read what Sopel wrote about him:

      So here are the BBC ‘takeaways’ from Trumps speech to directly compare with what they wrote for Biden:

      ‘Trump predicts a bumpy ride ahead on tariffs’
      Bad news
      ‘A minerals deal with Ukraine looks back on’
      Of course they recap on the argument with Zelensky
      ‘Greenland is in his sights, Lesotho isn’t’
      Greenland has been weaponised against Trump already – but WTF is ‘Lesotho’?
      ‘But his most pointed remark was about Lesotho, which he said was a country “nobody has ever heard of” despite receiving $8m (£6.2m) to promote LGBT rights.’
      Why is that a ‘takeaway’ point ???. It’s irrelevcant.
      ‘He stood by Musk despite protests over cuts’
      The old BBC ‘despite’ there inferring he is wrong to do it.
      And of course:
      ‘Democratic pushback was loud and it was pink’
      The story there is the Left’s refusal to accept Democracy, but not for the BBC. They actually show video of the Democrat rebuttal !!!.

      They didn’t do any of that for Biden. The bias of the BBC is crystal clear for anyone who actually cares about it.

    And ANOTHER article about this girl. This one has no basis at all : they’ve just written it to push the story as main news again.

    And the reason ?
    ‘when it emerged she had been exploited by far-right extremists in America.’

    Clearly the BBC don’t care one bit about the hundreds of young girls groomed, raped and threatened by the Pakistani rape gangs. No right-wing white people to blame there.

    ‘Germany to halt new Ukraine military aid’

    Today interviews German CDU politician about military budget…not a mention that Germany massively cut its aid to Ukraine….

    ‘ Germany has halved its military aid for Ukraine for 2025 compared to this year, according to its proposed budget for the new year.

    The German government is set to allocate just four billion euros in the 2025 budget – almost half of the €7.5 billion it had allocated this year.’

    Odd that Trump gets all the flak and is ‘letting Putin win’ when others are there alongside. The BBC is always very reluctant to note any country in the EU not being fully onboard the Ukraine bandwagon…though quite happy to mention Hungary which it calls a Russian stooge….but not Germany eh?

      That interview with fishy Rishi was virtually pointless. There were no questions about his past at Goldman Sachs, his “foresighted” investment in Moderna before it became famous, his role in taking on massive debt as Chancellor during the Covid-19 saga, the “cui bono?” of adding > £ 0.4 trillion to the national debt, the defenestration of the Party’s members’ choice Liz Truss, his insulting photo with the 50p coin stating the lie that “Diversity Built Britain”, etc. It’s simply staggering to consider what was NOT covered in the chat.

    The Gruaniad focuses attention on a sort of reverse Oedipus effect: Mothers killed by sons in 9% of femicide cases – keep plugging away with that ‘femicide’ word Guardianistas and eventually it’ll go mainstream – like ‘trans’ did for cross dressers.

    Let’s randomly (as in random country) google “mother murdered by son”… and see what we get?

    Killer who blamed demons jailed for murdering mother (BBC) – well, yes, the Guardian warned us that: mental ill health was a factor – but what’s this…? Anarlyn Jones, who was formerly known as Bronwyn Jones but now identifies as male, had denied murder but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. (BBC)

    So, in fact this is a case of not “mother murdered by son” but instead “mother murdered by daughter”?

    Can we still trust the Gruan’s 9% of femicide cases statistic? How did they classify this case? By the killer’s former or by his/her/they’s present gender self-identification? Killer son or killer daughter?

    These and other unanswered questions we must leave hanging.

        I hardly ever listen to R4’s Today now but I did this morning, from around 08:00 … and soon regretted it, catching the same “interview” that you heard, between the man from the US conservative union and Red Robbo. Constant interruption by Robbo, talking over the interviewee, refusing to let him answer fully, showboating rather than listening, clear bias of opinion. The American did well to stay polite and focused but the interview shone little light on matters.

        The rate of interruption always goes up when it’s someone the awful BBC disagrees with; I noticed this years ago with Dimbleby on “Any Questions?” Meanwhile, when it’s an approved voice, eg US Democrat or Green zealot, they are allowed to make their points.

    https://www.livescience.com/space/space-exploration/we-dont-feel-stranded-astronauts-stuck-in-space-set-the-record-straight

    Trump criticises Biden for leaving these astronaughts in space and immediately the Leftist activist news sites are interpreting every word they can in any way they can to write full articles critical of Trump.

    Yet even the BBC use the word:
    ‘We planned for the unexpected, say stranded Nasa astronauts from space station’

    And the definition of ‘stranded. is:
    ‘left without the means to move from somewhere.’
    Which they certainly are.

    This is how deep the rot of left-wing activism now is in the media. The people writing these stories are no better than spiteful, nasty schoolboys who just got spanked and they are sticking out their bottom lips. They are pathetic creatures.

    We found out recently of course that Politico was given millions of dollars by the Democrats. It all stinks.

    The Commons’ women and equalities committee said pictures of a Muslim woman without her headscarf – taken without her consent – should be considered ‘non-consensual intimate images’.

    Such photographs should be treated the same as child sex abuse images, possession of which can carry long prison sentences, the MPs said.

      If they make it an offence to do that then it’s only right they make it an offense for a Muslim woman to go out WITHOUT a headscarf as well.

      And I’m sure it already is for many of them who will get a beating when they get home if they don’t. But the idiot Leftist hypocrites don’t care about that because the men doing it aren’t white.

    “The future of all icebergs is that they will die. It’s very surprising to see that A23a has lasted this long and only lost about a quarter of its area,” said Prof Huw Griffiths, speaking to BBC News from the Sir David Attenborough polar research ship currently in Antarctica. – that’ll be the Boaty McBoatface.

    The life cycle of icebergs is a natural process, but climate change is expected to create more icebergs as Antarctica warms and becomes more unstable. (BBC) – all becomes clear.

      A school in The Hague does not have to pay compensation to two Muslim sisters who missed their annual school photograph because it clashed with the end of Ramadan, appeal court judges said on Tuesday.

      A lower court last year awarded the family €500, saying the school had indirectly discriminated against the children by breaching their legal right to equal treatment.

      The appeal court, however, said the school had done enough to take the end of Ramadan into account by commissioning the photographer to come on what it thought was the day after Eid al-Fitr.

    It’s on the rise in the west now? But we’re told lone actors don’t commit terrorist acts here since the new diktat is to pretend their motives are vague, and don’t represent any single clear ideology.

    I have just watched Camilla Tominey of the Telegraph tell a blatant lie about what JD Vance said re countries which hadn’t fought a war for twenty years contributing troops to any Ukrainian peace keeping force.
    He never specified which countries he meant but Tominey repeatedly said he made disparaging remarks about British troops. And although he has pointed out that he didn’t mean the UK and never said the UK , she kept on repeating her point.
    Are there any honest journalists left in our country? She is trying to undermine Trump and Vance and to undermine the search for peace but in pursuit of what goal?
    Are the globalists already starting to campaign on behalf of their chums in the Democratic Party for the 2026 mid term US elections?

        So you are spot on , TDS isn’t just a disease of the globalists , although it seems endemic with them , it is also a disease of class.Those who think of themselves as upwardly mobile or part of the chatterarti must at least show they have TDS even if they don’t really understand what the hell is going on.

    WE ARE ALL EQUAL! Except when we are not equal.

    “Robert Jenrick raised the issue in the Commons and asked Shabana Mahmood why pre-sentence reports – which lower the likelihood of imprisonment – are to be “considered necessary” for individuals “from an ethnic minority, cultural minority, and/or faith minority community.” Mahmood replied:

    “As somebody who is of an ethnic minority background myself I do not stand for any differential treatment before the law for anyone of any kind and there will never be a two-tier sentencing approach under my watch or under this Labour government.”

    That doesn’t come close to explaining the new bizarre guidelines. The government has a representative on that Sentencing Council. Labour will have to get a grip of this one…”
