    “Tamil Nadu’s first legally registered marriage between a trans woman and non-trans man is the subject of the documentary Amma’s Pride”

    Is it just me?
    Or does anyone one else get utterly lost on what is supposed to what in these tranny stories?

    Classic BBC cringe mindset as they discuss shipping and climate and mention that Britain was once the dominant naval power…which made Britain great…..the presenter immediately qualifying saying ‘in heavy inverted commas’ cringing at the idea that he might have said Britain had been Great.

    Naturally the solution to our current shipping problem…

    ‘The shipping industry is a huge source of pollution. Ships burn dirty fuel oil that contributes 3% of global carbon emissions. Helen Czerski and Tom Heap search for solutions.’

    ….is to stop buying from abroad and make all that we need here…which would bring us back to the 18th century most likely….one benefit though…it would stop mass immigration…why leave a warm and sunny shithole to live in a cold and wet shithole?

    5 minutes in to the BBC’s Agatha Christie-based drama “Towards Zero” and they’ve already shown a black barrister & Asian secretary…in 1936 Britain
    So far, poorly written & clunkily directed, with painful attempts at upper-class accents, incl. omitting the T in valet
    Abysmal.

      Clarke Peters is a good actor, but as soon as I saw him in the trailers I decided not to bother with this programme. The idea that a black man would have been a senior lawyer in 1936 was risible, and little more than gaslighting.

      If the BBC wants to make a period drama, then it has to reflect the period it represents. Anything else is a lie.

      To be honest, the modern BBC is not fit to make a period drama. Everything has to be seen through the filter of 21st century identity politics. It is just too jarring, and prevents me from relating to the story at all, so I just cannot watch these programmes. They are made by very low talent people, and it shows.

          The safest way to avoid all this Beeboid stuff, is to avoid it entirely, and click on alternative sites which report some real facts, and which is so easy to do these days!

          As I don’t pay a penny for the rubbish these fat bully companies spout, I don’t even consider their stuff, but have to admit that I occasionally check their sites to know that I’m right in disbelieving everything they peddle!

    No free trade with US without free speech, Starmer warned
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025/03/31/free-speech-row-threatens-starmers-us-trade-deal/

    ‘In a highly unusual step on Sunday night, the US state department issued a statement saying it was “concerned about freedom of expression in the United Kingdom”’

    Trump : the gift which keeps on giving.

    This – along with the journalist told to get lost because of the state of the UK media – should have some serious alarm bells ringing. And it is the entire reason the mainstream media – especially the BBC – exist. To keep a check on the politicians.

    But of course we won’t be seeing this on the BBC. They don’t believe in free speech whatsoever. I have plenty of HYS comments in my ‘keep’ folder demonstrating that. You can write a perfectly true statement and the BBC delete it because you ‘might offend’ some Lefty.

    Today programme Radio 4 this morning .

    Nick Robinson interviewing a Labour minister about trade , tariffs , President Trump and Two Tier Kier .

    The sucking up to Trump hasn`t worked sneered Robinson ,, twice .
    So trade negotiations are ” sucking up ” now are they BBC ?
    Or is that just when you want to put an even bigger chasm between Britain and the US , because the US is led by Trump ?

    Going to use the words “sucking up to ” when there are negotiations between Britain and the EU , BBC ?
    Which will be the realistic thing , now the future and in the past .

    Listening to the world at one – I wonder why – exactly – the bbc has such a difficulty understanding president trump . I was thinking – as I walked along a beach this morning – that perhaps it is because they are not used to politicians not telling lies – doing what they promised during the campaign – delivering on promises – putting their people first when there is unfairness ?
    The bbc sees the US bringing in tariffs as wrong and nasty – when in fact – because the UK doesn’t make anything anymore – it isn’t really going to affect the UK as much as – say – Germany …..

    It’s nice to see other countries – the EU – getting screwed for a change …

    Afternoon to you all, i hope you are all well.

    This is my first post so i apologise if this is in the wrong place. I have to rant!

    I am struggling to understand where common sense fits into our daily running of this country. As a 27 year old father of 3, I am so concerned with what life will be like for my kids if they are to grow up in this place.

    After reading the news that a 3 year old, yes, three years old – has been expelled from nursery for being ‘transphobic’

    https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/toddler-suspended-nursery-transphobic/

    How on earth can a three year old be transphobic? My three year old can barely decide what she wants for dinner. It’s not just the adult population that’s being targeted. It’s our own children. This I will not stand for. My daughters and son will grow up with their right to free speech. They will also know the truth to what makes a man a man and a woman a woman.

    We have been forced into this strange world of having to change years of history and scientific evidence just to make people happy. That’s the truth. Let’s just erase history because someone moaned and complained.

    Oh the irony. What about us British people? Why will our government not listen to the majority and tend to the so called minority?

    We are now the minority. The evidence clearly shows. Maybe if we all become ‘gender fluid’ and start dressing ourselves in rainbows. Maybe Two Tier Kier may give us his ear? I think not!

    A third blood pressure raiser on the world at one was about kids the parents can’t control – beating up mum at the age of 8 . Having been’ raised’ in a loving catholic family I knew what the consequences wouid be is I stepped out of line …. It made me the nazi i am now ….
    But seriously – the piece about out of control kids went on and on – they neulogical issues or something ( autism – flavour of our time ) …… I’d beat the crap out of the until they stopped ….
    Btw – me being a fan of benefits – I called up autism on the google and found links more than eager to help me claim my PIP thing or some other give away to the feckless from the taxpayer … big up that state dependency …

    Le Pen Case explained in the Spectator
    In Britain or the United States, it is perfectly normal – even expected – for political aides to assist their elected official with political work. That includes speechwriting, party liaison, communications, strategy, and re-election planning. As long as public funds aren’t used for personal gain, no one blinks.

    I wonder if we will be getting any French citizens popping over the Channel to escape their government and claim political asylum before they are arrested for some minor infringement they’ve made at some time in their life.

    Anyone on the Right in France has actually got a stronger claim for asylum than 95% of the economic migrants popping over.

    Maybe Wilders supporters and AFD supporters might be popping over as well.

    It’s a pity we don’t have free speech here (although Donald is trying to help us) but where can WE go to for asylum if the Countries surrounding us are all going lawfare potty against those who have different views to the far left.

    I was going to write TTK – being a cold hearted politician – but then realising he is a lawyer – he has no heart

    His idea of free speech is speech with the law – but look at all those laws being rolled – often through the actions of bereaved parents with loud voices – and all sorts get caught by TTK and his freedom. With a complementary visit from 6 plof or a sergeant plod at 2 in the morning over a tweet ..

    That aint no freedom

    And britain now needs a toby young organisation to fight against the repression.

    I think that the degree that household costs are mushrooming since Labour took control should trigger a National Inquiry to find out why the cost so many council services are suddenly going through the roof. This feels like a pre-planned smash and grab by the councils, knowing that they will not come under any harsh scrutiny by a Labour Government.

    This government has been a disaster in every sense. Offloading huge additional costs on rate and taxpayers because they have a huge majority is simply obscene.

    Israel has given ‘no response’ after medics killed in Gaza | BBC News

    I don’t know why they should have to give a response and who is asking for one. I couldn’t bring myself to click on the video, I was having a reasonably good day today & didn’t want it to be spoiled by HAMAS/UN terror propaganda. Clips appear in my X timeline & Youtube suggestions because I view/read Israeli-related things.

    Maybe I should invoice the BBC for the aggravation. “Stop invading my space with your unsolicited news clips. I haven’t payed your extortion fee for years in the hope of avoiding your diabolical broadcasts. I will be charging you £2.00 for every BBC clip that appears in my online space. You will receive an itemised bill at the end of the finacial year.”
