Marjorie Taylor Greene Tells UK Reporter Asking About Signal Scandal To ‘Go Back To Your Country’
https://www.news18.com/world/marjorie-taylor-greene-tells-uk-reporter-asking-about-signal-scandal-to-go-back-to-your-country-video-9276459.html
After hearing the question, Marjorie Taylor Greene asked the reporter, “Wait. What country are you from?”
When the reporter responded that she was from the United Kingdom, the congresswoman refused to even let her finish her question.
“OK, we don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting,” Marjorie Taylor Greene said, adding, “Why don’t you go back to your country, where you have a major migrant problem.”
Sky news getting the respect it deserves – though the comments apply to our news in general.
When this sort of this happens, somebody in government should be sitting up and taking notice. Our news network is now a laughing stock around the world because of it’s liberal bias and blatant lies by omission.
What alarms me is how nobody cares. The entire system is now infested by Left-wing activists.
The BBC generates news! It is the news!
** everyone in the BBC knew, but nobody knew!
That is how you deal with them. Refuse to engage.

Where do you suggest she gets the money from? Let’s gets immigration, neither the Tories or Labour will be able to resolve that issue.
”
I think you will find during the election campaign Labour we’re going to get the money from windfall taxes on energy companies and wealth taxes on the super rich. Don’t recall any mention of attacking pensioners, farmers and the disabled which is what has happened.”
I agree, it was mentioned many times, and we haven’t heard about it since TTK got into Downbeat Street…
Aaaaah, now I know, it’s the WINDFALL of charging every electricity user much, much more to pay for the subsidies being sucked up by the climate scam!

The OBR has confirmed our planning reforms will unlock an extra 170,000 homes. That’s £6.8bn in growth, and over £3bn in new money for our public services.
That’s the value of not just taxing & spending – but doing the hard yards to rip up the red tape and take on the blockers.

Theresa May on immigration … from ‘hard’ line to ‘pink no line’ …
2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012
2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society.” – Theresa May 2015
2018 … “Over the years, overall, immigration has been good for the UK. It has brought people with different backgrounds, different outlooks here to the UK,” – Theresa May 2018
“MTG goes nuclear on British TV reporter over immigration: ‘Go back to your country!’
‘Should the Defense Secretary—,’ the Sky News U.S. Correspondent Martha Kelner began asking Greene before she was cut off.
‘What country are you from?’ the Georgia Republican blurted out, interrupting the question.
Kelner quickly answered, ‘The U.K.’
MTG then ripped into the reporter saying: ‘Go back to your country.’
‘Okay, we don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting,’ Greene began telling off the reporter. ‘Why don’t you go back to your country where you have a major migrant problem.’
The Georgia Republican continued lambasting the Sky News correspondent: ‘You should care about your own borders.’
‘Don’t you care about how your women are raped by migrants? I don’t care about your fake news.’
‘You want to know about complete disregard about operational security? You should talk about the Biden administration and how they ripped our borders open to terrorists, cartel, child sex trafficking, human trafficking, and drug trafficking across our borders for four years,’ Greene responded.
‘That’s what this is about today, not journalists from the U.K. that should care about their own country,’ the Republican finished before walking away from the cameras.”

Zephir – that’s wonderful – the Americans need to deliver more of that . Im surprised they let far left ‘journos ‘ into the US at all . I’d put a tarif on them .
They know Europe is ruined and has become a third world dump so why bother with them ? The political gulf between the US and Europe is wider that the gulf of America and getting wider . Europe will pay the price whilst the US thrives …
For 4 years these UK reporters watched Biden open the borders and allow ANYONE to just walk into the country, and they said NOTHING and now, all of a sudden, they are so so concerned about American national security.

Labour’s plan to not pay market value to individuals whose property is seized due to a compulsory purchase order strikes at the very heart of private property rights.

The New Towns have always been built on land bought at agricultural prices, built on and marketed by a New Town quango. I’m not sure if this is what they’re talking about. Tax is theft anyway.

Tax hikes and extra cuts on the way, as 250,000 people pushed into poverty by benefits squeeze – protests the left-leaning title.
Pushed into poverty? Aren’t you supposed to be poor in order to qualify for benefits? The point is these people are being pushed into work, surely?
Former Turner Prize winning cross dresser Grayson Perry graces the cover of the i paper teasing a feature the title terms ‘Culture’
Our Grayson (is it too early to say ‘National Treasure’?) appears photographed posing as his alto ego ‘Claire’ (or so one assumed): …in her element among the Rococo frills and fripperies for which London’s Wallace Collection, one of the world’s great collections of 18th-century French paintings, is famous. (i paper)
Now, were I a woman, I might possibly find the big blonde bouffant curly wig, generous red lippy, pink faux fur handled spangly clutch purse and Dame Edna Everage specs… just a tad… male mocking of feminity perhaps?
Maaaaate!
But then I’m old enough to recall a time when Eddie Izzard was simply a cross-dresser. I’ve a hunch that had ‘Trans’ not been taken up and run with by the cultural left then old time comic drag acts such as Les Dawson and Roy Barracloughs’ lumpen-boobed characters, Cissie Braithwaite and Ada Shufflebotham, would now be treated with the equal retrospective distain attributed to ‘Black Face’
Our celebrated ‘First Female Chancellor’ photographed at the despatch box yesterday shares the i paper frontpage with our Grayson: Actually, Perry says, he found he “did not love a lot of the collection” [London’s Wallace Collection] from which his new exhibition draws inspiration – “It was almost like I needed someone else to love it for me”. So it was that Shirley Smith, Perry’s latest alter ego, came into being, and Delusions of Grandeur, an exhibition of more than 40 new works, interspersed with pieces from the museum’s permanent collection, is in large part of her fantasy world. (i paper)
When Rachel Reeves delivers her Budget today, please don’t talk about what she’s wearing – cautioned the Independent back in October 2024.
The colour purple
Inevitably perhaps that plea was ignored: The significance of Rachel Reeves’ blouse as she made Budget history in the House of Commons. It wasn’t just a plum blouse, according to the experts… navy power suit paired with a plum-coloured pussy-bow blouse (Manchester Evening News, October 2024)
Now for the science bit (as Jennifer Aniston was wont to say in the shampoo adverts): Yet Reeves wearing plum is incredibly symbolic. The plum tree itself is often seen as a sign of abundance due to its ability to bear numerous fruits. This makes it an apt choice for discussing the UK’s Budget. “Plum is a shade of purple, which is a short wavelength colour,” says fashion psychologist Shakaila Forbes-Bell. “These colours directly impact the parasympathetic neurons in our nervous system, and have been associated with relaxation, as they can lower our heart rate. (Manchester Evening News, October 2024)
And of course our Rachel, former custodian of the keys to the Bank of England (stationery cupboard) was decked out in purple once again yesterday.
I took cash for clothes too, admits Rachel Reeves (Telegraph, September 2024)
“[Short wavelength colours] have a sedating effect on the body, so the colour purple is often connected with mindfulness, and associated with comfort, security and peace. The shade is also associated with power, as alongside green and white, it was heavily featured in the suffragette movement of the 1900s,” explains Forbes-Bell. “So often, when we are seeing women wearing this colour, it can bring back these associations and can be seen as a sign of strength and bravery.” (Manchester Evening News, October 2024)
The unashamedly left-wing mouthpieces, those that don’t bother to profess political balance, Guardian and Mirror have got their story straight… ducks in a row… messaging on point, if you will…
Reeves accused of balancing the books at the expence of the poor (Guardian)
Balancing the books on the backs of the poor (Mirror)
The subtext of this messaging (like the purple outfit) is of course that the books will balance and she’s tough enough to deal with the ballooning public expenditure – which is doubful in reality.
Appropriately enough, perhaps, the frontpage of the Mirror carriers in its prime ad spot a promotion by Tescos: 25% off 6 or more bottles of wine offer… – so our Wine Aunts will be happy, despite the austerity.
And finally, ‘Welsh Choir Girl’ Duffy turns up out of the blue in the Daily Star: Duffy’s first pic in 10 years
Asiseeit – listening to Marxists MPs queuing up to defend the feckless living on other peoples’ taxes – was pretty sour yesterday – the Marxists won’t really cut welfare – I heard that people will be trained to big up their ‘disabilities ‘( depression – nut jobs ) in order to jump through the benefits claims game ….easy money plus live of shoplifting / feckless food banks …
AsI, a comment on the colour purple…
“Purple is often seen as a colour that stimulates creativity and imagination, possibly due to its unique blend of red’s energy and blue’s calmness. ”
I.E. Labour and Tories screwing the country…
The Uniparty colour
Exactly, AsI!

Nothing to do with the BBC…and I’m not even having a moan…for a change…
I was up with the lark this morning, walking my wee dog in the local park through a chilly mist. The sun was rising; it was beautiful. This really is a lovely time of the year and despite what our political masters are trying to do to it, this is still a beautiful country.
I’ve packed a small rucksack and I’ve put on my stout boots and we’re heading off to the north downs for a morning’s ramble. There’s an old churchyard enroute, absolutely smothered with native daffodils, vivid cowslips and primroses. What a glorious sight.
I’ve got my camera, my sketchpad and my little dog for company.
Honestly, mornings like this really make me glad to be alive.
Oh. to be in England, now that April is (almost) here…
A different world….

Another fine development opportunity
Thank God the ethnics don’t like the countryside. I’m of the same mind Jeff, walking little dog around the fields by the river. Glorious.

I’ve just seen an article in the Express saying Swedish gangs are now moving into Finland.
Of course, these gangs aren’t the Swedish types we all know and love, no ABBA lookalikes etc.
It reminded me of The Time Machine by HG Wells.
There are two groups in the book. The Eloi who are similar to how Europe used to be with civilised people and little crime.
The others are The Morlocks who are brutal creatures who use the Eloi like a herd of cows. No need to mention any parallels with what’s happening in Europe now where the indigenous populations are being exploited for their innocence.
Kings of cocaine: how the Albanian mafia seized control of the UK drugs trade
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/13/kings-of-cocaine-albanian-mafia-uk-drugs-crime
The gang, an Albanian street crew of drug dealers, is known locally for its violence and more widely for a social media output featuring Ferraris, wads of £50 notes and gold Rolex watches to help enhance its reputation and recruit “youngers”. The Gascoigne estate, built in the 1960s and occupying land that slopes south of Barking town centre to the Thames, is its historical home turf.
It was getting dark, another two men appeared and, when asked if they were Hellbanianz, one said: “You should go.” The Observer was escorted off the estate and told not to return.
TOADY Watch #1 – you missed an important question, Rick Nobinson!
Nasty Nick had Rachel from Accounts in the interviewee slot at 8.10 a.m. but failed to ask an important question. If you had been paying attention, as I have (smirk) Nick, you would have noticed that Rachel from Accounts has refered to building 1,300,000 new homes, not 1.5 million that TTK and Ange constantly mention. Was this a slip of the tongue on the part of Rachel from Accounts or has Labour’s desired target of 1.5 million new homes been reduced? What will this do to Rachel from Account’s and the PM’s ambitions to “grow the UK economy”?
Fortunately there’s not enough people to build them . In real life is it 60000 a year – which ain’t gonna get near the target cum 2029 … 250 k new homes – unless they refine the meaning of ‘home ‘…

Yes – the prefab returns . Apparently people liked them and there are still some in use …. More likely to get a prefab mosque now – completed with security provided by taxpayers ….
Fed, I think Rachel from Accounts should ‘tax’ every illegal immigrant coming to the UK, 10x the existing legal visa charge and then make the illegal, if they have the necessary skills, pay off the visa charge by working to build the houses. 😉 🙂 Labour will not do that, of course, they do not have the guts for it.

“He pulled a condom out of his pocket and said something to the effect of: ‘How about it then.’ I said something about his wife and three kids, as I had seen them before on set.

I just felt huge pressure from him.

Yesterday’s statement from Thieves and PMQ’s. I’ve largely given up with watching PMQ’s, Badenoch consistently fails to get an answer from slippery Smarmer. He has the Rayner on one side and Thieves on the other, a row of all proven liars and they liberally accept freebies. They expect us to keep paying more and more taxes despite themselves being utterly dishonest and grasping.
PMQ’s yesterday there was not one question from any MP regarding the invasion despite it reaching new heights and for me the most pressing issue of the times. Perhaps Speaker Hoyle made sure nothing could be asked on Thieves big day.
In the US the Republicans and Trump administration are starting to question the Federal funding of the BBC’s ugly cousin, Public Broadcasting Service. Not before time. I have seen in the past partisan attacks on Trump.
Last night and tonight in the UK they are showing 2 episodes of a programme entitled “Dying Democracies – Europe in Decline”. What is causing that, you ask. The answer is the populace exercising their democratic freedom to vote for right wing populists. An inherently bad thing of course.
Last night’s episode covered Hungary, Italy, France and Netherlands, with very little coverage of Nuremburg rallies. Tonight more on Hungary and Italy “as examples in an examination of how right-wing populists operate when in power and erode democracies from within.” Who’d a known?
Brief reference to the UK last night, a mention of Brexit accompanied by image of Sterling ticking down and empty supermarket shelves. Very subtle.

A debate on the Netflix TV show ‘Adolescence’ with Stephen Graham, luvvie flavour of the month. BBC favourite Lefty(?), Steve Chalke of OASIS Trust running schools wants more legislation to control mobile phone companies, ISPs, and no doubt mobile phone use by white teenage boys! No mention of the total dominance of feminism in UK society, ie. zero. Scant mention of the lack of male teachers in the UK’s Primary Schools. Equally scant mention of the absence of ‘baby fathers’ in the white community. That of course would restrict the womens’ choice of partner after easy divorce or even not being married in the first place!

The Leopard [Netfix] Amid the unification of 1860s Italy, a Sicilian prince grapples with the collision between his family’s ancient privilege and revolutionary change.
Refreshingly unwoke in terms of the appropriate victorian era Italian-looking casting, this occasional and mild bodice-ripper – set among the pictureque lemon groves, palacial ballrooms and convent chapels of nineteenth century Sicily – borrows its plot from Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s classic novel of the same name (no, me neither) It is the second adaptation after Luchino Visconti’s 1963 film starring Burt Lancaster as Don Fabrizio Corbera (The Leopard), an aging Sicilian prince caught up in the sociopolitical turmoil of the Risorgimento (Italian unification) during the mid-19th century, with Alain Delon as his opportunistic nephew Tancredi, and Claudia Cardinale as his goddaughter.
The underlying message of the new adaptation appears surprisingly conservative as the old aristocratic family patriarch battles against those rising forces of opportunists using democracy as a cover for their own venal covetousness.
One enjoyed the ingratiating unpleasant money-grubbing mayor of the town debating with himself which flag it would be most politic for him to hang from his balcony. And later announcing a 100% vote count in favour of a united Italy in a referendum – despite voices from the crowd below shouting “But I voted against!”
There are certain parallels between The Leopard and fellow habitual horse rider Kevin Costner’s John Dutton, the patriarch rancher of the series Yellowstone, a man who openly bemoans “Transplants” from west and east coast USA taking over his corner of old Montana.
Both shows are moderate recommends – if you like that sort of thing and live happily BBC-less.

Various media incl. AP and Reuters reporting today that one of the top three leaders of the violent Salvadoran MS-13 gang, illegally in the US, has been arrested in Virginia. Nothing on the BBC, but they are full of stories about the deportation of pro-Palestinians e.g:
“US immigration officials arrest Turkish student amid crackdown […] Rumeysa Ozturk was detained on Tuesday outside Boston, as she was walking to an Iftar meal to celebrate Ramadan. Video shows masked, plain-clothes officers handcuffing and leading her to an unmarked car.”

“Tufts said in a statement that it had been told by officials that the student visa held by Ms Otzurk, who is a doctoral student, had been revoked.”

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. (Boris Johnson)
But it cannot survive treason from within.(Theresa May)
An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. (Anjem Choudary)
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.(Jeremy Corbyn)
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

Can you buy off people from democracy, I wonder. In the UK, despite scaremongering surveys in recent months, the number of Gen Z who would actually choose a dictator over parliamentary elections is a vanishingly small 6 per cent, according to a study last month by King’s College London. We still pride ourselves on our democratic institutions. But ask the question a different way — would you personally live somewhere with no free and fair elections — and the answer increasingly is yes.
……
And this is a land with no permanent rivers or lakes — desert conditions won’t allow them. It has the world’s largest desalination plant. But there’s currently no widescale attempt to conserve water. This is what a country looks like when it’s giddy on growth — a heady mix of limitless energy (both types) and wild ambition. “You want snow in 50C? I’ll give you snow. You want Ronaldo? I’ll bring you the actual World Cup.” You want world diplomacy? A meeting there between Trump and Vladimir Putin is on the cards. It’s all happening fast. Maybe too fast.
Our last day there is Ramadan. The row of coffee shops behind our hotel falls silent. The Baker & Spice brunch spot is shut until 6pm. Religion, it seems, is perhaps the only thing that can still bring this country to a commercial full stop.
I wonder if I’ll be back in Saudi. And if I’ll still need a headscarf next time I come.

This Sky News reporter tries to embarrass Marjorie Taylor Greene by dragging out the ongoing nothing-burger ‘Signal-Gate’ story. MTG is having none of it:
MTG: What country are you from ?
SKY News: UK.
MTG: “Okay, we don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting, why don’t you go back to your country where you have a major migrant problem and you should care about your own borders… you care about people from your country… what about all the women that are raped by migrants, do you care? okay you’re done.”
Terminates interview.
That’s the way to talk to them, if only our own politicians spoke to the BBC like that instead of pussy-footing around them.
It’s a shame she didn’t follow it up with a slap.

Sensitive files about Royal Navy submarine reportedly found in pub toilet
This article is more than 1 year old
Navy investigating after report emerges that documents about the workings of HMS Anson were found in a Wetherspoons pub in Cumbria
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/apr/29/sensitive-files-about-royal-navy-submarine-reportedly-found-in-pub-toilet
The Royal Navy is to investigate after official documents about one of its £1.3bn “hunter killer” submarines were reportedly found in the toilets of a Wetherspoons pub.
Files carrying details about the HMS Anson were left in the Furness Railway in Cumbria, the Sun reported. The documents showed the inner workings of the nuclear-powered submarine and were used by submariners learning how to isolate and depressurise elements of its system.
They added that the files contained only simplistic designs of the systems onboard, without revealing how they work.

Following the EU and UK ban on Russian diesel in 2023, India’s exports of refined oil products, including diesel, to Europe have surged, with a significant portion likely originating from refining discounted Russian crude oil.
European airlines have not been able to compete on a “level playing field” with Chinese counterparts, who are permitted to use Russian airspace.

Airlines including British Airways (BA), Finnair, KLM and Lufthansa have had to add one to three hours to journeys due to alternative routes.
For example, BA’s flight between New Delhi and London now takes an extra hour while London to Tokyo has gone from 12 to 14 hours.
