Midweek 30th April 2025

A few local elections on Thursday 1st May – plenty suspended by the Labour Party . The BBC will continue to claim Britain is a ‘democracy ‘ but that’s more than doubtful these days ….

    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 ?:

    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!

        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.

    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.

    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 …

    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.

    “interpretation of Maoist communism ”

    “The Khmer Rouge claimed that they were creating ‘Year Zero’ through their extreme reconstruction methods. They believed that Cambodia (which was called Kampuchea from 1975-79) should be returned to an alleged ‘golden age’ when the land was cultivated by peasants and the country would be ruled for and by the poorest amongst society. They wanted all members of society to be rural agricultural workers rather than educated city dwellers, who the Khmer Rouge believed had been corrupted by western capitalist ideas.

    In order to enforce loyalty to the state, the Khmer Rouge broke peoples’ ties to religion and family. All political and civil rights were abolished. Formal education ceased and from January 1977, all children from the age of eight were separated from their parents and placed in labour camps, which taught them that the state was their ‘true’ parents.

    Ukraine hopes resources deal with US will enable ‘just peace’, adviser says
    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c20zj5l4jpdt

    Goodnessme – this article is stuffed with typical BBC lies, half-truths and deliberately misleading nonsense.

    The most ridiculous is this:
    ‘How the resources deal began with Zelensky ‘victory plan”

    ‘Back in October last year, just before Donald Trump won the election, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky put forward a “victory plan” to former US President Joe Biden.’

    The BBC are actually trying to give the credit for this deal to Biden !!!!.

    Zelensky’s ‘plan’ was complete rubbish – that’s why nothing whatsoever came of it. It had a ‘secret part’ which involved the USA send thousands of cruise missiles to Ukraine then launching them all simultaneously at targets all over the Soviet Union. It was complete madness. Not to mention the Kursk invasion part which was meant to give Ukraine a large part of Russia to trade back for lterritory they have won in Ukraine. And which has – of course – utterly and completely failed at a HUGE cost of their best men and equipment.

    This is another absolutely disgusting report from the BBC. It is 100% lies intended to take the credit away from Trump.

    They also slip in: ‘In 2021, Kyiv also signed a similar agreement, external with the EU.’
    Well well well. They have kept that quiet. It goes some way to explaining why the EU are so desperate to keep the war going.

    The BBC is the State broadcaster………..despite the Government denying that since inception. Anyone argue with that assessment? It seems self evident to me.

    Given the BBC is the State broadcaster IMO and its absolute hatred of Trump and the campaigns against him, where does that leave our Government or our Country? Trump obviously hates the BBC so how can our ‘special relationship’ work? Trump is pragmatic but there are limits, and there’s that clown Lammy badmouthing Trump.
    Perhaps the agenda is to damage our relations with the US so that the EU becomes looks like an attractive prospect.

      On that topic, just realised that from 0600 to 0630 on R4, all the interviewees for business news are wimmin. Those with ‘gravely’ voices (doing the Thatcher male simulation) and those more normal. The carefully crafted period then ends with the sports news and the invariable loud shouty sound of a screaming football reporter witnessing a goal.

      Does the psychology advocate the impact any round of female propaganda, quickly followed by a starkly contrasting, male dominated pastime?

    As we no longer have NHS dentists there should be a reduction in the tax/NI we pay for when we used to get dentistry on the NHS.
    Now, it’s about £20 – £30 per month for 2 check ups a year and £100s for treatments (which seem to be recommended by dentists much more than when on the NHS, I wonder if the high prices they get have anything to do with it)

    We should get a reduction of about £500 per year for the NHS dental services we no longer get.

    BBC:
    “The footage of the attack, along with its soundtrack which captured the sound of someone appearing to struggle to breathe, was watched in silence by the jury at the Old Bailey.”

    But other news sources report otherwise :

    “The footage was deemed too gruesome to be played in court, but jurors were able to listen to audio from it while a police officer narrated what it showed.”

    https://metro.co.uk/2025/05/01/jury-hears-mans-screams-lover-stabs-death-extreme-sex-session-23008888/

    ‘The Old Bailey heard that Mr Alfonso paid Mr Mosquera for “extreme sex” which, with their knowledge, was often filmed and posted online.’

    Bbc don’t expand on what this extreme sex is .. so

    “The court heard a man – given the pseudonym James Smith – will give evidence in the trial that he was paid to perform degrading sex acts on Mr Alfonso, including urination, defecation and vomiting.”

    I was mildly interested in the alleged chopping down of a much loved tree trial ….

    … apart from ‘why ‘ I wonder what sort of punishment is likely if these …. Characters … are found guilty …. ?

    Yes I know we are not to discuss the trial ( freedom of speech strikes again ) …. But chopping down a tree …?

      I wonder if that US / Ukraine mining deal is one of those things in history where it can go one way or the other ? Peace or big war ?
      Bit like the run up to the attack on pearl harbour by the dirty japs – US restricts oilsupplies to japan because of the slaughter in china – so japan has to get oil one way or another …
      Yes I know it’s a different game due to the nuclear ingredient but all the same – will Putin see it as ‘ nato lite ‘ and thus a threat – ? Or part of some secret agreement he has already made with the Donald …..

        The takeover is in full flow. I’d rather it was sooner rather than later so we can ride ourselves of the deluded tossers who think they’re in charge.

        It was interesting to listen to Radio 4 “news” at 6.00 o’clock. It took them until 6.28 to actually mention the local elections. You know, the local elections tonight, where that simply awful, corrupt, fascist, DEI laden imposters, are going to have their arses handed to them. Then, I switched to Classic FM “news” at 7.00. And they didn’t even mention ANYTHING about the elections. Interesting.

    Well the weather has been a sad disappointment to the Met Office. This morning GBNews was reporting that the Met Office was hoping there was going to be a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. Kew did its best, but only managed 28 degrees. Yet with great flourish it is still the hottest May Day ever according to the weather men, although the record it broke was Scotland 35 years ago. Mr D remembers clearly the sad day when Tony Blair won his first election. It was so hot, Mr D thought he might have passed out as he went for a walk, it wasn’t as hot as that today.
