US signs historic natural resources deal with Ukraine after intense negotiations

So I go to see what kind of spin the BBC put on this story – and what greets me right at the top of the live feed to put me off my breakfast ?:
‘UK foreign secretary welcomes minerals deal’

WTF has it got to do with THAT incompetent fat racist idiot BBC ?.
The amount of credit the BBC give Lammy is just outrageous. EVERYONE thinks he is an idiot. But he’s Labour and he’s black. The BBC don’t care about any of the rest.
I’m afraid we’ll see much more of this, John, with the Sith Floor trying to ‘big up’ the bloke, to negate the stupid things he’s said about the US and President Trump in the past, and generally try and make him look special.
Of course, it won’t work, he’s utterly hopeless and there’s no going back on the damage he’s already done, but beeboids just obey the agenda!
As an aside, it looks as though Rachel from stapler supplies has got absolutely nowhere in her jaunt to the US, although beeboids haven’t said much about it!
The Indy has a bit…

President Trump just sees these commercial lightweights coming a mile off, and ignores their wibbling at every turn!
Correct Scrobs : the BBC must fight to maintain Labours respect and popularity because the alternative is Reform.
They could crucify Lammy and have him out at any time if they chose to. But they play nice with all the Labour ministers, no matter how bad they are.
Rachel from accounts is a good example : if she were Tory, a couple of ‘live updates’ and new headlines every day about her incompetence, failures and the lies on her CV would have got rid of her a few weeks back. Bu tthe BBC kept quiet.
Contrast that with what they did to Boris for standing near an open bottle of wine. Or any of the other prominent Tories they have assasinated. They are all gone now.
And no point to complain : they are allowed to handle it all themselves and they simply reject it.
One likely not to make the front page. Odd given a new tradition of promoting each other’s stuff.

The horrific, and hard-hitting Channel 4 documentary ‘Groomed: a national scandal’ is absolutely devastating for Keir Starmer.
In fact, a bit of Christmas card list reshuffling, if not hit pieces?

UK to give free minerals to USA and China and give China it’s steel industry … oh wait… ha ha ha hah ah aha

Can you guess which one of the three is the mentally unstable psychopath who stabbed and murdered the other two (one while having sex with him) then dismembered them and put them in the freezer ?.
The guilty party is an immigrant from Colombia. More evidence of the fruits of importing the third world. And the streets of London are teeming with them now.
JohnC – but he looks so happy!
Journos are a strange breed, they speak a different language to the rest of us – and they all sound alike.
In common speech you or I might hail a taxi cab – although these days we’re more likely to book an Uber on a cell phone.
Some of the weirdest weather most of us ever tend to experience are summer hail stones.
Whereas…
All hail the King
The King yesterday hailed Bowlbabe Dame Deborah James as an inspiration in a touching message to fellow cancer patients (The Sun)
Charles channels Dame Deborah as he hails cancer heroes (Mirror)
King Charles has thanked the nation’s army of people who have taken up the fight against cancer – and hailed them a “community of care” (Express)
It’s reassuring to hear on such authority that in these days of strained international relations in this big dangerous multipolar world (despite international law) that this little nation of ours still has an army… of sorts. But I’ve still not quite bought into the notion that just because you happen to work in the health sector you’re automatically a hero.
No Times or Telegraph frontpages in the BBC’s online print press line-up this morning – perhaps they blotted their copybook yesterday with all those Tony Blair inspired anti-Net Zero headlines? Although the simultaneous absence of the Graun this morning suggests more of a bias by glitch than a bias by omission.
Can I take children or pets to a polling station? – asks Jennifer Clarke, BBC News, under the Politics banner during this brief moment of election purdah.
Selfies, dogs, children and drinking: What can’t you do in a polling station? – that’ll be a No, No – except that new modern breed ‘assistance dogs’, and Yes, you can of course take a small libation – wet your whistle, so to speak – but don’t get disruptive.
Public service broadcasting there from the Beeb. Or as Basil Fawlty was wont to put it: “Stating the bleedin’ obvious”.
Politics, eh?
I recall US comic Bob Newhart’s monologue where he mentions some guy working in an office explaining his nickname Old Smiler – “I had to get half-gassed to make it into work all these years!”
Ukraine and US sign minerals deal… Trump administration said Russia should take the agreement as a signal that Washington supports a free Ukraine (Telegraph) – Zelensky at last accepting the meaning of the American term ‘Lend Lease’ there.
Britain owed the United States $4.34 billion in war debt following World War II, which was initially granted as credit to support the war effort. The UK repaid a total of $7.5 billion, including interest, by December 31, 2006. This repayment included the original loan amount and accrued interest – thank you AI.
Ukraine is believed to have vast reserves of critical minerals like graphite, titanium and lithium. They are highly sought after because of their use in renewable energy, military technology and industrial infrastructure. (BBC) – a moment of clarity from our national broadcaster there – explaining perhaps why we’re not fighting a proxy war against the international law-breakers who invaded that mountainous barren outpost of Tibet.
Man killed couple then froze remains, court hears – says our BBC.
Terror Couple Kill Colonel – sang 80s goth rock band Bauhaus, in reference to a newspaper headline announcing an act of terrorism carried out by the extreme leftist Red Army Faction in 1972 in West Germany.
Asiseeit – ok – im nasty – but do you notice how the royals attach themselves to causes beyond criticism ? – for instance – the emir with cancer ( if he hadn’t got it wouid be have bothered ?) or his ‘son’ with the disabled veteran charidee ?
Andrew – of course will desperate to find a redeeming charidee- Paki child abuse maybe ? Which he may know more about than he should … or suicide amongst female victims of sex assaults ….
… I notice in your piece how the US enforced the debt the UK incurred fighting for freedom for them up to December 1941 … the ‘special relationship ‘ indeed …
From the DT – Alison Pearson 1 – Essex plod 0
Essex Police is facing criticism after the press regulator threw out its complaint about The Telegraph’s reporting of its investigation of Allison Pearson.
The force claimed that a column by Pearson and a news report of a visit made to her home by officers on Remembrance Sunday last year were inaccurate, but the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) found that its complaint was without foundation.
Mark Lewis, Pearson’s lawyer, said he was “bemused as to why the police found it appropriate to file a report to a regulator” in the first place.
Pearson was visited by two officers at her home, who told her she was being investigated over a tweet she had posted on X one year earlier – and subsequently deleted – that a complainant claimed had stirred up racial hatred.
The Essex force claimed that The Telegraph’s reporting was inaccurate because Pearson had said she was told she was being investigated for a non-crime hate incident (NCHI), when the force said she was actually the subject of a criminal investigation
But Ipso said The Telegraph had correctly reported Essex Police’s written statement that the inquiry was into a criminal offence, notwithstanding Pearson’s belief that she had been told on her doorstep that it was a NCHI.
In its ruling, Ipso said that when The Telegraph had put Pearson’s claims to the force before publication, its response “made clear that the police were investigating the matter as a criminal offence [but] the position regarding what the writer had been told during the visit had not been disputed or corrected”.
By including Essex Police’s response to Pearson’s claims, “care had been taken not to publish inaccurate information”, Ipso said.
Pearson is suing Essex Police and the Essex Police and Crime Commissioner for damages.
Mr Lewis said: “I welcome this ruling so that we can press ahead with Allison’s claim against Essex Police to determine the truth about what happened on that Remembrance Sunday.”
Pearson said: “I am delighted that Ipso has confirmed I was entitled to tell the public what happened to me on the morning of Remembrance Sunday over a tweet deleted a year earlier. I felt it was in the public interest, and still do.
“My legal team will now pursue my case against Essex Police and the commissioner of police.”
Essex Police has been contacted for comment.ENDS
In a perverse way I hope she loses against Essex plod and takes it to appeal in order to maximise the publicity for this action by the stazi plod …
Or alternately gets big damages and donates them to the Toby whathisname free speech outfit .
The vermin who made the initial allegation should also be held to account – at least publicly identified to show there are consquences …
Morning Fed!
“attach themselves to causes beyond criticism” and that now includes all the enrichers plaguing our country…
Hello Scroblene – it’s pitiful stuff really – they don’t have value any more – apart from selling papers …. It would help if there was just one clever one – but there isn’t ….
David Wood and Konstantin Kysin spell out the problems with Islam in terms simple enough for even the BBC to understand. But they won’t. As Douglas Murray says: if we want peace then we need less Islam.
“We demand to be included in your space to make it more ‘diverse’ and ‘inclusive’.”
–
“We demand you change this space to our liking and ban stuff that offends us.”
–
“We demand you be kicked out of this space we ‘created’ since you offend us.”
–
“LOL, if you hate us why not just make your own space.”
–
“We demand to be included in your space to make….”
Rinse and repeat.
HA HA HA HAHA

Firstly, I’d like to wish everyone a happy May Day. Traditionally the first day of summer…
Many years ago, when “commie” Ken Livingstone was mayor of London, I’d heard that there was to be a traditional May Day celebration in Trafalgar Square. Now, numpty that I am, I was expecting Morris dancers, a yard of ale contest, folk singers and perhaps rounded off by a good old fashioned English punch up. What a wally…
Of course, this being Red Ken’s celebration, the square was full of anarchists, “anti-fascists”, “Hope not Hate” and “pacifists”. It transpired that all of these groups were the polar opposite of what they claimed to be.
The anti-fascists were all dressed in black and wanted to ban every view they disagreed with. Hope not Hate revealed themselves to be seething sociopaths and the most aggressive people I’ve ever met were the (so-called) pacifists.
After a minor disagreement with a couple of them ( I’d mildly rebuked them for their intention of incinerating a massive papier-mache effigy of Tony Blair) I needed a police escort to get me out of the square.
So, the moral of the story is, beware of pacifists.
They’re a violent lot…

Man charged with terror offence after Israel embassy arrest
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2lzqpw7y4xo
Anyone see this story on the BBC news site ?. I certainly didn’t.
Another ‘basic facts only’ report. Yet considering the situation in the world at the moment, I would say it is entirely relevant to current affairs. But the BBC seem not to agree.
The truth of it is that he tried to get into the embassy with two knives. I can’t imagine the bloodbath he would have created if he had managed to do what he tried to do. And right here in London.
But the BBC don’t think this is important. I do – because the likes of the BBC are in no small part responsible for inciting the hatred which motivated this man.
They did it by portraying Hamas as victims of Israeli aggression – when the truth is that they are barbaric savages who will readily torture and murder infidels in cold blood and happily use women and children as human shields whose death can then be used by the BBC again to infer Israel are the murderers.
