Happy St George’s Day . Play a game – when will the BBC first describe St George as ‘non British ‘ or ‘probably a Turkish Muslim ‘ or a ‘refugee ‘ or a ‘far right symbol ‘ …. You know their song … dump the licence …

There is a post worth reposting:
“Up2snuff – complete the following phrase or saying: When you’re in a hole ……………………..”
Z, you are a troll – you have just proved it!
Mrs Voter had to go to the pharmacy this morning to get some stuff to keep her going, I waited outside in the car and turned the radio on. Up came Rick Nobinson, ” My next guest is Nigel Farage, Nige you were a big flag waver for Donald Trump, are you still a flag waver given the state of the Global Economy? You could hear the sneer in his voice, Big Nige let him have it re the Government borrowing figures.
Interesting that he is now being taken seriously, the msm seem to realise they have no choice now, the slander has stopped, even in our far left local news.
Council elections are often fought on local issues but this one, where labour have tried to stop democracy, will be interesting.
Where a party has lied and lied and lied again it’s time to register disapproval
In the absence of a fully British party of the Right – Reform has to do – but I wonder his split the votes will be on 1 may – for those local elections which haven’t been cancelled .
I suppose the Marxist regime will use fraudulent postal votes and welfare junkies to get their votes ….
But how anyone decent could vote for the reds of blues or greens is beyond me ….
Indeed, I think no far left or right anymore, rather globalists or nationalists, with all the baggage that entails, who cares.
They don’t understand that people have memories, when they could have a day out in London without having to look over their shoulder, and when they could hear English spoken.
If I want to visit Morrocco I’ll go there, I don’t want it 20 miles down the road.
Watching Starmer trying to defend himself against accusations of dithering and changing horses re the Trans ruling I was suddenly reminded of the lefty character Rick who had much the same type of defensive spluttering speech in much the same type of strange half-hysterical high pitched voice in the series The Young One’s…. Played by the excellent Rick Mayal if I recall….
Now I can’t get it out of my mind every time TTK opens his mouth….
Seems the Cabinet has been issued a spluttering coach… Reeves, Rayner, all reduced to gibbering wrecks when a rare ‘but what about..’ comes in from the msm.
Only that evil harpie Philipson appears capable of flat out lying through her teeth po faced without pause.
The figures today showing that Rachel borrowed £15 billion more than the ONS calculated shows that she has created her own – real ‘black hole ‘ caused by pay rises to Marxist unions – their NHS – teachers and those who don’t actually ‘do ‘ anything – as the private sector cuts back because of those NI increases which started 23 days ago –
Gonna be a great financial storm whether she tries to blame Trump or not …. Bring it on – bring down TTK …
She is the gift that keeps on giving, if pessimism is your thing
“celebrating amazing women” etc etc
Yes, she has amazed
Just imagine, if starmer were to catch some horrible disease from his extra parliament recreation,not involving a wife, and one of the rest were to take control.
I want Lammy, comedy gold, Lammy and Rayner, the dream team, if you write scripts for Benny Hill, no need anymore, just watch and take notes.
Note for all artists, labour is open for business, with a keen eye for..erm….fine art,,,,or somefink
“Reeves replaces portraits of former PMs with art commemorating lockdown
Paintings of senior politicians and royalty at No 11 axed in favour of artworks depicting social distancing and Covid anxiety ”
I went on a spending spree and bought too much red paint..
Now, where’s Rachel..it’s about erm covid or somefink
We can send a rocket full of woman to the edge of space … yet we take 5 years and a supreme court to decide if that rocket contains woman or not! HA HA HAHAH ! 2025 is a golden age!

I’ve been watching a set of DVD’s, “The Civil War”, by Ken Burns, about the American Civil War for the absence of doubt.
The similarities that there are with Brexit are quite eerie. On a trivial note the “North” and their forces were the “Union”, we all know what the EU is. My judgement regarding why the war came about, it wasn’t in fact caused solely by slavery and its abolition but actually the fact that the Southern States wished to secede from the Union, Lincoln primarily wished to incorporate as many States into his Union. It’s a myth that Lincoln fought the war for slaves, it seems to me that economic and political control were paramount for Lincoln, he wanted as many States as possible. I think slavery provided an excuse, it was a red herring. Lincoln won the propaganda war with his brilliant writings and oratory which is why we are propagandised into thinking the right side won the war.
Lincoln and Smarmer are/were Lawyers.
More enrichment the BBC won’t report.
In Germany, a Syrian woman attacked a German mother and child. Unbelievably, the police then investigated the German family for posting a vid of the attack!

Trump criticises Zelensky as Ukraine refuses Russian control of Crimea
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78jx68d922o
We have reached the stage of this war where Zelensky is 100% reliant on whoever gives him the weapons. If they stopped, the war would be over in weeks and Russia would take the whole country.
So when I see bold statements from him about topics which will guarantee to keep the war going, I know by now it is 100% certain he has been told what he must say to keep the support. And his only line of support now is the EU with the far-Left Starmer standing awkwardly beside them trying to puff his chest out.
And the recent flurry of ‘red lines’ by the EU gives the game away completely. It just so happens his red-lines coincide with theirs. And they are so extreme, they will not be accepted by Russia under any circumstances. Which of course is the whole point.
So once again it is demonstrated that the EU do not want this war to end. They want to keep bleeding Russia. It seems like madness to me : they only possible outcomes I can think of is that either Russia take the whole country or the Russian state collapses.
But I think the EU despots might have their own third option : the fighting continues and Russia get weaker and weaker. Then – at a suitable point when they think Russia are the most vulnerable – the EU think they will be able to step in as ‘active peacekeepers’
-developing into full combatants after a series of ‘incidents’ – and take it for themselves while Putin gets deposed and they try to engineer it so nice, EU friendly people take over.
They wouldn’t be the first Nazi fascists to totally underestimate what Russia can do when their existence is threatened.
Meanwhile the MSM keep feeding us the same old lies.
Deadly Kashmir attack risks India military escalation against Pakistan
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwynx7kgyqvo
… and once again the BBC write a lengthy report on this horrific attack by Islamic Muslim terrorists which murdered 26 people in cold blood without using the words Islamic or Muslim or terrorist even once.
Instead they shift the entire focus of the article to India’s security failure for allowing it to happen and their likely response – giving the impression that India are the agressors in all of this and hence the bad guys.
The whol epoint about terrorism of course is that you cannot stop it. You have to prevent it by taking them out before they get chance to do it. Like Israel are now doing in Gaza – while sending the BBC into meltdown.
The Left have no solutions for any of this. So they just criticise and virtue signal their self-perceived moral superiority.
Wherever there is conflict around the world, is there a common factor ?
It doesn’t seem to be the Church of England, catholics, or buddhists, hindus or sikhs..
The problem is, the bbc also struggle to pin this one down. I feel for them, what could it be ?
Mariana Spring to the rescue, it’s Elon Musk, Trump, Andrew Tate and the far right
Stop them talking, shut down their ability to communicate, jail them without bail wherever possible, that’ll solve it.
World peace will ensue.
Nigerian Christians, Israeli civilians and Kashmiri tourists will feel much safer.
It takes particular talent to be the most incompetent primeminister, to f@

Job done.
But, to have a disappearing wife in the meantime, now, there’s an achievement.
At least she has some pride or self respect.
D notices and lawyers letters flying around….why ?

Civil servant sues for racism after taking Uber rides and shopping trips during work time

Officer claimed his manager at the MoD held a stereotypical view of ‘black Africans being lazy’
You don’t get stories like this on the BBC. They hide them from us because they only want us to know truth which suits their own agenda.
It sums up everything which has gone wrong in our country. While this lazy scumbag continues to try and scam more free money, the MOD should investigate WHO took him on and they should be sacked as well.
When I worked at BAe SYSTEMS, the majority of the absolutely useless staff were taken on by one specific manager who should never have been placed in a position of responsibility himself.

‘Our daughters will be with us’, say dads of Southport victims running London Marathon – read this regime sponsored post incident news management exercise – sorry, BBC news online headline top story – care of: Claire Ryan, George Sandeman and Sarah Campbell, BBC News – and you’d come away with not a single clue as to whether that sad loss of the daughters on that fateful day was due perhaps to random lightning stike or alien abduction.
To prevent some recurrence of the tragic event you wouldn’t know whether to call in Fox Mulder and Dana Scully…
Or Freddie Mercury and Queen: Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me!
(Inappropriately?) I jest of course, but a sickening aspect of the regime running post hoc defence for their continuing failed multiculturalism experiment is the cynical manipulation of the relatives of the victims of their policies.

I was listening to milliband being interviewed by our Justin . I listened carefully . Now I study 20th century history . And milliband ticks a lot of boxes shared by Hitler and Stalin –
The ends justify the means
The suffering of the people can be justified
There is no other way
I am always right
There is no doubt .
Tomorrow ( 2030) will be better – a 5 year plan
Milliband really – really – does sound frightening . It’s that insane certainty that not using our resources – the North Sea – or fracking – benefits the country .
He doesn’t care about energy prices – the destruction of the social fabric it causes – fuel poverty and stress for the victims of his beliefs –
The cause is everything … the most dangerous man in britainistan ….
Just to add to this – our Justin was either not prepared to challenge milliband or is a disciple of this Green crap lunacy – even when they went off on slave labour in china justin didn’t ridicule the mad milliband idea that he could show china the error of their ways …. An absolute loon . And I choose these words carefully …
Keep paying that effing standing charge every effing day …
So when they look back at the case study for the failure of the UK – what will be the causes ?
Over taxation to pay for failed serviced such as the NHS
Green crap destroying investment

The best description I’ve come across for Milliband is from David Starkey…………….”A Child”.
Flotsam – that may well be the case – the way he interested with that Nordic nut job girl certainly indicates a weakness …
Sadly if the Marxists get wasted at local elections abd TTK reshuffles there’ll only be another dolt getting that job .
I saw milliband at Paddington station once – I wish I’d done something to save the country …
”A Child” with keys to access to the expensive drinks cabinet
Now that’s good Marky, thank you you made me laugh xx
Miliband is indistinguishable from a Commissar following the Five Year Plan. The ends justify the means, even if a million kulaks die.
Socialism or death!
Miliband is outright deranged, and seems encouraged to be so, not just by his idiot boss and colleagues, but too many other parties and most media.
He was doing a propaganda tour of the studios today.
A few daring souls tried some actual reality back, so he gurns ‘that’s nonsense’… and that, dear reader, was it, and us screwed.

‘ “Europe,” says Cardinal Robert Sarah, reflecting on the continent’s historically high rate of immigration in 2019, “seems programmed for self-destruction….If the West continues in this fatal way, there is a great risk that, due to a lack of birth, it will disappear, invaded by foreigners, just as Rome has been invaded by barbarians,” he said.’
The BBC pretty well ignores one of the higher profile candidates for Pope…Cardinal Sarah. The BBC asks ‘Who will be the next pope? ‘ but puts photos up of its chosen few…Sarah is not there…he gets a mention but way down the list and not a hint of his views on immigration, Islam, homosexuality and trans….all, needless to say, ‘controversial’ in BBC world.

‘”As a bishop, it is my duty to warn the West! The barbarians are already inside the city. The barbarians are all those who hate human nature, all those who trample upon the sense of the sacred, all those who do not value life, all those who rebel against God the Creator of man and nature. The West is blinded by science, technology, and the thirst for riches.”
“Migrants who arrive in Europe are penniless, without work, without dignity,” he describes. “The church cannot cooperate with this new form of slavery that has become mass migration.”
Those who carelessly promote this phenomenon (which would include many dubious NGOs) bear responsibility in the inevitable tragic loss of life, isolation, loneliness, and dependency migrants face.
“[T]hese young people are presented with Europe as Eldorado, we tell them that they will have everything when this is not true,” Sarah notes.
“If the West continues in this fatal way, there is a great risk that, due to a lack of birth, it will disappear, invaded by foreigners, just as Rome has been invaded by barbarians,” he said.’
The barbarians are not only in the city but many are in positions of power. Those that aren’t rule by the simple threat of terror and/or violence. And they’re protected by our ‘leaders’. It appears that, to them, we’re the interlopers.

I’ve seen offshore wind farms in action, apart from the eyewatering cost of installation there is the eyewatering cost of maintenance. The marine environment is not kind to man made structures, offshore wind farms require regular maintenance which requires a team of technicians and boat transport. Each boat alone will cost many thousands a day for skippers and crew. Need a crane capable of mounting blades or pods? Think of an astronomic figure and quadruple it.

India will pursue Kashmir attackers to ‘the ends of the earth’, says PM Modi
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c8x8yqwzznqt
The front page of the BBC for this story has an odd picture with it : it looks like a sad Muslim woman and others I assume are Muslims holding up placards saying ‘The Killing of Innocent People is Always Wrong’.
Now what an odd, very niche and specific slogan to use. What does it mean ?.
The killing of people who are NOT innocent is right ?. Is it saying that people who Muslims murder – for example drawing the prophet Mohammed – is right ?. It looks that way to me.
And why would the BBC choose that picture which does not represent the story at all for the front page ?. Are they using this terrorist attack to infer Israel are the same as these terrorists for the Muslims being killed in Gaza ?.
Such an odd thing to choose for the world news front page. Because killing innocent people is NOT always wrong if it’s for the right reason. For example if Hamas have a command centre in the basement of a hospital, it is for the greater good if they are taken out with a precision munition, even if they have deliberately taken some civilians in there with them. That is a war crime by Hamas, not Israel.
Would the BBC try to hijack this attrocity for their own agenda in Gaza ?. Of course they would. They don’t care one bit about the victims here. They are already trying to infer some kind of equivalence with non-Muslims with headlines like this:
‘Kashmiri students allege harassment after attack’
They’ve lifted that picture from here:

‘This is what it looks like when a Russian missile hits a residential building, in the middle of the night as people sleep in their beds.’
‘We think it’s here that the nine people were killed.’
NINE ?. An entire apartment building destroyed and only 9 people killed ?.
Do your job BBC and tell us what Russia really hit. Because if it was full of civilians, there would be dozens dead. This sounds like they were killed next to what was actually hit.
I have some South African friends, they have a keen sense of humour. Especially when drink driving and hitting trees and ploughing up golf courses with sports cars and running away from police.
A constant source of fun.
A Ukranian stand up comic hurling abuse at Russia sounds good in concept, It’s a win win on the South African comedy circuit, but if they keep banging on about missiles it might wear the audience down a bit.
Maybe change the subject a little ? Ukranian Nazis ? second world war Ukranian Prison camps ? anything to bring a little light hearted humour

First prison sentences for those involved in Southport unrest
07 August 2024|News, Violent crime
The first prison sentence for an offender who caused panic and chaos on the streets of Southport last week has been handed down today – showing the stark consequences for those involved in disorder.
Derek Drummond, 58, of Pool Street, Liverpool, earlier pleaded guilty to violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker after taking part in violent unrest in Southport on Monday, August 29.
He was given a three-year prison sentence following a hearing at Liverpool Crown Court today, August 7, 2024.
Liam Riley, 41, of Kirkdale, and Derek Geiran, 29, were also sentenced after pleading guilty to violent disorder following unrest in Liverpool city centre. Geiran also admitted one count of arson after setting fire to a police vehicle during the unrest.
iley was jailed for 20 months, including two months for the racially aggravating element of his offending, while Geiran was imprisoned for 30 months – 28 months for violent disorder and setting fire to a police van in Liverpool, and a further two months in relation to a conviction for malicious communication.
Sarah Hammond, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS Mersey-Cheshire, said: “Today’s prison sentences show that the law is catching up with those who have brought violence to our local communities.
“The disturbing images we have seen across the country, manipulated by agitators both in-person and online, while local families still grieve the loss of loved ones, is an unforgivable and selfish act that each and every person sentenced today will have to live with.
“The three men sentenced today are the tip of the iceberg, and just the start of what will be a very painful process for many who foolishly chose to involve themselves in violent unrest. Many of those involved will be sent to prison for a long time.
“Riley, Drummond and Geiran mistakenly thought they would escape justice. They now face an extended period of time behind bars, and their criminal convictions will stay with them forever.”

The Rochdale child sex abuse ring targeted underage teenage girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Nine men were convicted of sex trafficking and other offences including rape, trafficking girls for sex and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child in May 2012. This resulted in Greater Manchester Police launching Operation Doublet and other operations to investigate further claims of abuse. As of January 2024 a total of 42 men had been convicted resulting in jail sentences totalling 432 years.[1] Forty-seven girls were identified as victims of child sexual exploitation during the initial police investigation.[2][3][4] The men were British Pakistanis, which led to discussion on whether the failure to investigate them was linked to the authorities’ fear of being accused of racial prejudice.[5] The victims were predominantly of White British heritage.[5]
There have been several reviews and reports written about the Rochdale child sexual abuse cases, including a Home Affairs Select Committee (HASC) report that was published in 2013. The events have also been widely covered in the media and portrayed in a BBC television drama, Three Girls, in 2017.
In March 2015, Greater Manchester Police apologised for its failure to investigate the child sexual exploitation allegations more thoroughly between 2008 and 2010.[6] A GMP investigation into police conduct, supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), ended the same month. The investigation looked at the conduct of 13 officers between 2008 and 2010 and served notices of misconduct on seven. One officer was found to have warranted disciplinary action but was able to retire without any sanction being taken against him. The other six were given “words of advice” by their superior officers.[7]
A 2024 report on child sex exploitation in Rochdale from 2004 to 2013 found that there was “compelling evidence” of widespread abuse, and that Greater Manchester Police and Rochdale Council had failed to properly investigate these cases, leaving girls “at the mercy of their abusers”. While there were successful prosecutions, the report said that the investigations only “scraped the surface” of what had happened, and that many abusers had gone unpunished.[8][9]

The Rape Gang Inquiry by Rupert Lowe in London, Greater London, United Kingdom
Nothing to do with Beeboid cubiclists, but I just have to share this with Chums here…
This morning, I was doing a little shopping in Tesco, and in one of the aisles, there were two very pleasant, casually dressed ladies perusing the dried pasta, when they spotted a friend! The three stood for several minutes, and as I was also perusing the salad cream, (?), I couldn’t help over-hearing the baying noises…
France was mentioned several times, and children’s ‘normal’ names etc., drinks etc., but what amazed me, was that one of them still kept saying “Yaaaaah”, at every second phrase!
Now, call me old-fashioned, but didn’t that ‘interjection’ go out in the sixties?
So, the current cost of living, (or the covids debt caused by government) ‘crisis’ is even beating down the wine-bar sets, which is a shame of course, but let’s be honest, while looking at salad cream, and the various products associated with that delicacy, one does wonder why they’re not shopping at Waitrose down the road!
Ah well…
(Perhaps the car-park was full…)
It wasn’t.
Lol 😆 ! Scrobs, made me chuckle at anyone “perusing” salad cream. I love the stuff but it’s Heinz only, no cheap imitators on my table !
Heinz is allowed, Brissles, and they do one which is really top-notch too!
Mind you, I can’t tell the difference between Tesco Mayo and Hellman’s – possibly because I’m a Philistine – or perhaps a Palestine…
…(are they the same thing…)?
Any’ow, my old business partner once sought new sandwich ideas, and the best he heard of was HP Sauce and tinned peas!
If Renewables are so cheap.
Why do they need subsides ?

Muppet labs to the rescue with Ed Miiliband
“China’s rapid expansion of solar panel production, especially in areas like the Taihang Mountains, has led to several challenges, including environmental impacts, grid capacity issues, and potential trade conflicts. These issues are exacerbated by the rapid growth of the solar industry, which has created an oversupply of panels and impacted the global market. ”
“Striking contrast from those in the West where humanity is one bad decision away from catastrophe.”
This Just Might Be JD Vance’s Best Speech Yet.
Marky – thanks for putting that up – I don’t think it was his best speech – the one he delivered at the NATO ? Conference beats them all
At least the India speech will upset the Moslem world so got to be worth something .
I guess the Indian airforce will hold off on the revenge attack after the Kashmir slaughter until JD is back home – wonder if he’ll go to Rome ?
The difference in the positive tone of JD against the undertaker voice of milliband earlier today ….
For comparison …

Comments “Heard it all before – many, many times. As they say, “proof is in the pudding”. Politicians, by nature, tend not to do or can’t do what they say so we would do well to ‘take it with a pinch of salt’ and beware of the excuses when failure comes.”
A self important, pompous little twat.. where’s your wife ? who bought your glasses ?
The proof isn’t in the pudding, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
I’ve lost my appetite
I cannot even look at that man let alone listen to him. He is nothing but a robotic empty shell.
For every fish caught by the French fisher men, two migrants are returned to France! Easy nice sustainable policy.
Chuck an MP in with the migrants.
… plus one lord as a bonus!
The footage of a sky reporter ripping the arse off milliband over the 78% tax on oil and gas.
Milliband seems to think the cost of energy is just dependent on the wholesale price of gas.
There is also very low storage space .
Milliband is a threat to britainistan
Ed Miliband with two kitchens and NO EV car? HA HA HAH A!
There appears to be a double whammy there
