Some 1764 dead UK and Polish soldiers lie buried here. I wonder if they had known how the UK would later be invaded if they would have made their ultimate sacrifice?
The image is very moving.

Emotional resilience edition
…a symbol of hope and resilience – Nope, not the VE Day anniversary RAF Royal flypast.
This is in fact the junior poundshop Guardian that is the i paper reflecting on the 80th anninversary of kids’ comic book characters the Moomins – I kid you not.
How Finnish characters became a symbol of hope and resilience
In case you were wondering: The Moomins are characters in a series of novels, short stories, picture books, and a comic strip by the Finnish writer and illustrator Tove Jansson. They are a family of white, round fairy-tale characters with large snouts that make them resemble the hippopotamus. However, despite this resemblance, the Moomin family are trolls who live in a house in Moominvalley. Between 1945 and 1993, nine books were released in the series, together with five picture books and a comic strip… The Moomins, generally speaking, relate strongly to Jansson’s own family – they were bohemian, lived close to nature and were very tolerant towards diversity. – thank you Wiki.
This isn’t the left-leaning i paper’s first rodeo with the Moomins: How the Moomins took over the world… Imagine a world where tolerance, equality, loyalty and democracy are the natural order; where no one is an outsider; where problems are solved peacefully, normally after a fun adventure. That’s what Tove Jansson dreamt up when she created Moominland… Jansson based one of her later creatures, Too-Ticky, on her female partner, Tuulikki Pietila, whom she met in her mid-forties, in 1956, when same-sex partnerships were illegal in Finland… Sandi Toksvig, the comedian-turned-political activist, reads an accompanying audio guide that will bring Jansson’s stories to life. (Susie Mesure, i paper December, 2016)
This isn’t simply kids stuff: The Moomins at 80: The children’s books that tackled mid-life crises and depression… “In that first story, Moominmamma and Moomintroll don’t have a home. They are essentially refugees,” says Sophia Jansson-Zambra, Tove’s niece, who chairs Moomin Characters Limited, the family-run business… Back in London, a special Moominhouse is being built this month with input from local families at the Southbank Centre as part of a series of workshops that include making Moominvalley-inspired art with Nabil Amini, a Bristol-based artist who came to the UK as a refugee from Afghanistan… “The LGBTQ+ community has honed in on her being a beacon for minorities because she was bisexual at a time when it wasn’t self-evident that that could be your choice. She didn’t have a family but dedicated herself to art, which was seen as a courageous choice for a woman born in her time. Maybe that’s easier today, but at the same time we are witnessing political developments that are taking the world back to a much more polarised and less tolerant climate” (Susie Mesure, i paper, May 2025)
Personally, I was more of a Clangers kid. Please don’t tell me they always welcomed refugees to their moon-like planet, stood for one-world government and the Soup Dragon was gay
Of course the i paper covers that other 80th anniversary – with a relatively reverent headline: Air we go! Red Arrows flypast kicks off week of events to mark VE Day
And the title isn’t all peace, love and pussy: Why UK defence firms want to make more weapons for Britain… in Ukraine (i paper)
Opinion Why I bin my kids’ artwork – and don’t feel bad… Because what I’m really doing is modelling something useful. My kids are learning to develop emotional resilience. (Kirsty Ketley, i paper)
I think it was Judy Dench who used to read the Moomintrolls on Jackanory. Never thought about it until now, but how many of the stories which were read aloud were chosen as part of the far Left’s vision of a bright new world and used to indoctrinate young children. The manipulation may have been going on for a long time.
I will now have to think about the wooden tops and try to decide whether there was any significance to ‘the spottiest dog you ever did see’.
AISI, I used to like the Moomin cartoons on TV when other people were paying for the TellyTax ie. my late father, God Bless him. If I had known the character of their creator, I might have boycotted the cartoons, instead. I also enjoyed the Clangers and when we got a TV that had more than one station, ie. just BBC (my grandmother’s set with its 12″ screen and B&W at that!) the Flinstones as well. “Yabba Dabba Do!”
The telegraph reports some squirrel stuff about ‘Britain preparing for an attack by Russia ‘….
.. presumably dinghies have been stockpiled so that we can all seek refugee status in France …..
The msm mindset is a curious one . It assumes that any one wouid launch a conventional military attack on britainistan and negates that it is being attacked every day with another 500 being facilitated illegal entry in a 21st century military action – with the former British state surrendering .
As for Russian intentions to take over Europe / britainistan to act as a buffer to the US – good luck with that – you’ll find it’s more trouble than it is worth – but bring it on anyway – 77 brigade to note ….
Btw – just to help the Russians – here is some top secret intelligence courtesy of wiki
‘The British Army has 49 infantry battalions, including 33 regular battalions and 16 reserve battalions, spread across 19 regiments. These battalions are part of various brigades, including Armoured, Infantry, and Strike Brigade Combat Teams, with specialized roles like air assault and light infantry. ‘….
Ps – a tip – do it on VE Day because they’ll all be doing ceremonials and then on the lash in the evening …

I suspect they’ve been told that the electricity grid will fail like Spain and Portugal and they’ll blame doze wikkid wjushinnz – the Daily Mail just needs to do a search + replace on this article…

Hinckley Point
Net Absolutely Zero until 2031
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/may/06/starmer-nuclear-watchdog-regulations-delays-reactors
Tomo – thanks – I notice this from the article
‘The energy company EDF predicted in 2007 that electricity from Hinkley Point C would be cooking Christmas turkeys in 2017. EDF said in January 2024 that the station might not be finished until 2031.
The estimated total cost of building the plant has risen from £18bn in 2016 to £35bn in 2024. This could increase to £46bn when inflation is taken into account.‘
Excellent news – no new nuclear until at least 2040 by my reckoning – but at least it will keep the new occupants of the Islamic republic warm …
Fed – by my reckoning, UAE built 2 reactors very similar to Hinckley Point in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the money.
Hinckley Point is an utter farce.
Couldn’t run a bath.
I was hoping that rooftop hydro electric schemes and motorway central reservation traffic driven wind turbines would take off and attract government funding – makes about as much sense as what we’re witnessing.
Tomo – my scheme is that the blackout kick in during 2027 which brings down the Marxist regime a couple of years early .
If the Iberian black out was an EMP experiment – they know it works completely – if used in britainistan I wonder how long their State can contain the civil disorder ? I reckon not long – less than 24 hours … only those with old style radios wouid have a clue what’s going on ….stockpile fuel and water and cans …
Given the stuff I’ve read – the old radio won’t be much use as the signal content needs t’Internet to be distributed – a generator and a Starlink box is likely a bare minimum …
Tomo – I suppose the nuclear warning sirens will also be out of action so at least we won’t have to worry about ‘what that noise is ?’ – before the first flash …
Ackshewelly …
I can see why the DM put that stupid shit behind their paywall – it wasn’t like it was conjecture … they were actually claiming Putin attacked Iberia with a nuke…
Maybe a credulity test for folk stupid enough to pay a sub
Something which scared me a lot Fed was the reaction of the British public when the petrol tanker drivers went on strike. It really was every man for himself : there was no Dunkirk spirit about that.
Then we had the fights and stockpiling of toilet roll during COVID.
The civil unrest will happen quickly and it will be an ugly thing. We are a Nation of selfish greedy people. Including ALL Remainers – and they are still full of spite because of what they perceive they lost due to Brexit. It will of course be worst in the places which also happen to be full of immigrants due to their cultures. Anyone remember the fist fights in Pakistan over stuff we had dropped by Hercules ?. And no doubt our African friends in Londonistan will be so upset, only looting a new TV and trainers will be enough to console them.
Chaos in Kabul as Taliban take power and thousands try to flee
One high profile female journalist in Kabul said she had received a threatening call from the Taliban, telling here they “will come soon.”
Religion of Peace. Bradford city of UK Culture.
‘city of Culture’ actually means ‘biggest shithole which needs some public money and publicity to try to make it better’.
Hull had it some years back. They picked one small area and made it nice for tourists. The rest they left as a shithole. So all it does is benefit a select few in the right area – oh and also a few lefty-arty types with ‘friends on the council’ who are dropped 50 grand a time to make some ‘artistic monuments’ which have novelty value and nobody will care about in 10 years.
“.. there was no Dunkirk spirit about that”
Maybe because the enemy now is within.
“American’s greatest deficit is no longer found in the federal budget. It is a moral deficit, and it may be found in a polluted and poisoned culture that has become the great enemy within.”
Pat Buchanan
The same can be said now for the whole of the western world.
This is a pretty good explanation of why it is so expensive, and why the country which built the world’s first commercial nuclear power station – in 3 years! – is now dependent on 30 year projects driven by Johnny Foreigner.
More on point in my experience / opinion.
The B Ark is real.
Tomo – that is very very good post – and I have to watch it a few times before I write anything ….
But having worked for senior people in big organisations – I recognise the question’ how did someone so stupid get to such a powerful position ?” The DEI is an easy explanation for some – but not all …
I’ve now seen quite a lot of it… aggressive ignorant arrogant twats with an IQ barely above room temperature bullying, lying and using their position in the hierarchy to block anybody remotely seen as a threat … – and failing and then acting like the chess playing pigeon….
About 10 years ago I went down the Machiavelli (and Italian Renaissance in general) rabbit hole – fascinating and astonishingly misrepresented by, in general – people seeking to analyse it via a fashionably lefty set of “today” goggles
Tomo – unfortunately for me i failed to exploit me intelligence and perception – and suffered from altruism .
The successful in organisations focus on themselves – building their networks for personal advancement and playing the system .
It’s become far easier in the DEI world – far more dangerous than any stupid threat of war with Russia or some other contrived fear …..
The msm theme now seems to be even more focused on keeping people frightened as a distraction from the real threat – the ongoing continuous invasion ….. good to be on the other side of 50 ….
£4 billion of unusable PPE bought in first year of pandemic will be burnt “to generate power”
10 June 2022
https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/127/public-accounts-committee/news/171306/4-billion-of-unusable-ppe-bought-in-first-year-of-pandemic-will-be-burnt-to-generate-power/
Dame Meg Hillier MP, Chair of the Public Accounts Committee, said:
“The story of PPE purchasing is perhaps the most shameful episode the UK government response to the pandemic. At the start of the pandemic health service and social care staff were left to risk their own and their families’ lives due to the lack of basic PPE. In a desperate bid to catch up the government splurged huge amounts of money, paying obscenely inflated prices and payments to middlemen in a chaotic rush during which they chucked out even the most cursory due diligence. This has left us with massive public contracts now under investigation by the National Crime Agency or in dispute because of allegations of modern slavery in the supply chain.
Add to that a series of inappropriate, unauthorised severance payoffs made by clinical commissioning groups in the first year of the pandemic and the impression given falls even further from what we expect.
Israel security cabinet approves plan to ‘capture’ Gaza, official says
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy04km1zk0o

Very vague, but it helps with the bbc biased reporting
I do wonder where the BBC get their stories.
In this day & age I guess they have teams of people trawling the internet. They break very very few stories for the money they get.
It’s much simpler than that. These days they use AI:
“ChatGPT… make up some stories involving climate change, immigration, LGBTQWERTY, Russia, Trump, and Tommy Robinson with phrase real name Yaxley-Lennon. Compose them in the style of a dumb blonde work experience girl.”
Ian
according to Grok
Doubtless a BBC editorial guidelines and house style filters need to be applied …
So, like, it’s the future, right? And the world is, like, to-tal-ly freaking out because climate change is, like, making everything super hot and sweaty, and not in a cute way. The ice caps are, like, melting faster than my mascara in a heatwave, and all these coastal cities are, like, underwater. People are moving everywhere trying to find dry land, so there’s this huge immigration thing going on, with, like, millions of people crossing borders, and everyone’s arguing about who gets to stay where. It’s, like, a total mess, and I’m just trying to figure out how to save my fave beach vacay spot, ya know?
Anyway, in the middle of all this, there’s this super fabulous group called the LGBTQWERTY Alliance, and they’re, like, the coolest people ever. They’re all about love and equality, but they’ve added “QWERTY” to their name because they’re, like, super inclusive of everyone, even people who are, like, super into keyboards or something? I don’t totally get it, but they throw the best parties, with rainbow flags and glitter everywhere, and they’re trying to help all the climate refugees find safe places to live. They’re, like, “Love is love, and everyone deserves a dry bed!” which is, like, so sweet, right?
But then, oh my gosh, Russia gets involved, because they’re, like, always up to something shady, aren’t they? They’re, like, “Oh, we have all this cold land in Siberia, come live here!” but it’s totally a trick to get people to work in their weird factories or whatever. And they’re, like, spreading fake news that climate change isn’t even real, which is, like, so annoying because everyone can see the floods and stuff. I’m like, “Hello, Putin, have you seen my Instagram stories from Miami? It’s, like, a swimming pool now!”
And then, enter Donald Trump, who’s, like, back in the picture, because of course he is. He’s, like, building these huge golden Trump Climate Towers in the desert, saying they’re “the best, most luxurious refugee camps, folks, nobody does it better.” But everyone knows they’re just, like, overpriced condos for rich people who want to escape the floods. He’s on TV all the time, with his hair looking extra orange, saying, “Climate change is a hoax, but if it’s real, I’m gonna make so much money from it, believe me.” I’m like, “Donald, can you chill for, like, five seconds?”
Now, here’s where it gets extra dramatic. This guy Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Yaxley-Lennon—ugh, why does he have two names, it’s so confusing—shows up, and he’s, like, super mad about all the immigration stuff. He’s got this big megaphone and he’s yelling about how “Britain should be for British people only,” and I’m like, “Tommy, calm down, we’re all just trying to survive the heat, okay?” He’s, like, making these YouTube videos saying the LGBTQWERTY people are “ruining everything” and that climate change is a “globalist plot,” which sounds like something he read on a sketchy website. I’m like, “Tommy, have you even seen the floods in London? Get a kayak and get over it!”
So, the LGBTQWERTY Alliance decides to throw this huge rally to, like, bring everyone together and fight for climate justice and stuff. They invite all the climate refugees, and it’s, like, this amazing vibe with music and dancing and everyone holding hands. But then, Tommy (real name Yaxley-Lennon, don’t forget) shows up with his crew, trying to crash the party and yell about “borders” and “culture” or whatever. And Trump’s there too, because he heard there was a crowd and he loves attention, right? He’s, like, tweeting, “Tommy’s a great guy, tremendous patriot, I’m sending him a MAGA hat!”
Meanwhile, Russia’s, like, secretly funding Tommy’s megaphone or something, because they want everyone to keep fighting so they can sneak in and take over more land. It’s, like, so sneaky, I can’t even. But the LGBTQWERTY crew is, like, not having it. They start chanting, “Love wins, haters lose!” and they get everyone to join in, even some of Tommy’s followers who are, like, “Wait, this party is actually kinda fun.” And Trump’s just standing there, confused, because nobody’s paying attention to him anymore.
In the end, the rally is, like, a total success, and the world starts working together to fix climate change, because duh, we all need a planet to live on. Tommy (real name Yaxley-Lennon) goes off to make more grumpy videos, but nobody’s really listening anymore. Trump builds a new tower called “Trump Rainbow Resort” to try to cash in on the LGBTQWERTY vibe, but it’s, like, super tacky and nobody goes. Russia’s plan fails because everyone’s too busy planting trees and building solar panels. And I’m like, “Yay, we saved the world, and I still look cute in my eco-friendly bikini!”
You lost me at the third “ like “ , as soon as I hear any interview with that amount of “ likes “ the rage builds and I want to rip out their voice box.
*snorty laugh*
Thanks!
tomo, that was brilliant. Sad to say I read it with a picture of one of my nieces in mind.
Will,
I hear you mate…
Not my work though – I asked GROK Ian’s question
Germany’s Merz falls short of majority in vote for chancellor
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgp22zlrgko
That’s not the big news BBC and you know it.
This is:
‘The big winner of the election in terms of voter gains was the right-wing populist AfD, which nearly doubled its voter share over the previous federal election in 2021.’
Yet it isn’t mentioned at all. They have done the trick of restricting the scope of the article via the headline.
And I also notice this:
‘The surprise winner of the election was the Left Party. After years of declining membership and poor returns at the polls, the party managed to pull off a comeback. ‘
Given the panic over the gains of the Right in the world at the moment, would they rig it ?. 100% they would if they could. Just 4 days before the election, they branded the AfD as ‘extremists’ !. What a dirty trick.
And the Greens all have haloes ….
JC
BBC with that bias by omission . Democracy only applies for the ‘approved ‘ – i think Romania is on a similar receiving end …
Reform might win the next general election, however they won’t be allowed to govern. The public sector will prevent them from doing so. This will be seen now with the elected mayors and Councils they now control. The BBC and Unions will obstruct everything reform will want to do, the rail strikes and Birmingham bin strikes show what can happen even under left wing Government. What will happen if Reform direct Border Force to push the boats back? Stand by for Civil War.
Just look at the constant sniping from the MSM against Trump now. It would be impossiblt to ogvern with the National Broadcaster using their ridiculous power to sabotage every policy they don’t agree with.
Nothing can change here until the BBC has it’s wings clipped.
Don’t you mean ‘its head ripped off’?

The BBC ?
Scrap the telly tax !
Make it “Pay by subscription”.
Dont watch it , dont pay for it .
Simples .
Seems that the Marxists are trying to ‘cycle back ‘ on the – ‘cut the winter fuel allowance to kill more old people’ policy .
They won’t re introduce it because of the embarrassment . So they’ll have to come up with a new ‘allowance ‘ to almost make up for the short fall .
Hopefully though – the damage is already done – a ‘difficult decision ‘ like continuing to waste tax money on overseas give aways … with no benefit to us – or insane decisions like the Chagos nonsense …
The worst parts about the withdrawal of the WFA was that it wasn’t ‘promised’ by Liebour in their Election Manifesto and was implemented with no notice, more or less at the start of winter. Basically a lie by omission, they never actually said it was to be withdrawn.
Although a pensioner I always thought the WFA was a daft bit of vote grubbing by Labour/Gordon Brown. The total cost is a drop in the ocean compared to what the dinghy invasion is costing though.

This so called British government cares more for foreign & alien peoples than its own.

A ‘tragic traffic accident’ in Stuttgart:

A ‘mental health’ issue in Rochdale – Driver plows into pedestrians in two separate locations:
https://gettr.com/post/p3kn0gj4b65
All a complete mystery why this often happens with powerful vehicles driven at speed and even is done in multiple locations. Strangely there is never a description of the drivers.
Why describe the drivers? It’s the cars that do it, innit?
Was it a far right saluting Tesla?
Attenborough at 99 delivers ‘greatest message he’s ever told’
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0wjxg0ex1o
‘He believes his new, cinema-length film Ocean could play a decisive role in saving biodiversity and protecting the planet from climate change.’
Wow, ‘He believes …’, ‘.. could play a decisive role …’. All standard BBC weasel words to imply something as true when it isn’t.
‘Since then, there has been a catastrophic decline in life in the world’s oceans. “We are almost out of time,” he warns.’
Catastrophic ?. And ‘almost out of time’ David ???. Just like we were 50 years ago ?.
And after describing trawler fishing as the worst thing man ever did, they add this just to make sure:
‘The process also releases vast amounts of carbon dioxide which contributes to the warming of our planet, yet bottom trawling is not just legal but is actively encouraged by many governments.’
What is a ‘vast amount’ BBC ?. From a trawler ?. How does it compare – say – to the CO2 the BBC caused to make this film ?.
The bit I object to most though is the implication that this film can stop climate change. It can’t. It’s a 100% blatant agenda-driven lie. Isn’t it amazing how time is always nearly up unless we do something right now ?. Just like the Gaza hospitals who were going to run out of petrol at midnight. Next morning the story is gone. So I guess they didn’t.
So once I’ve read something like that, all of it – including the ever-more-ridiculous-Attenborough – goes straight into the bin.
As Terry Wogan once said : If they want us to take climate change seriously, they need to stop all the extreme hyperbole and give us the truth. It’s become an extreme-Leftist activist bandwagon.
Colin brazier on X – light lite s a picture released by the ministry of war – of the cenotaph with a flag on it – and surrounded by protective barriers ….

When Trump does this, he’s a racist.
When Labour do it, we are given a rational, sympathetic explanation of why it’s needed.
Such is the monumental hypocrisy of the BBC. Their stories are almost always true, it’s just how they present them that varies. They always pick the most convenient ‘experts’ to tell us what they want us to hear:
‘Prof Jonathan Portes, a senior fellow at the academic think tank UK in a Changing Europe, said the impact that restricting visas would have on the number of asylum applications was “likely to be quite small”.’
Totally meaningless, unaccountable bullshit. Like everything we get from academics. If they could cope in the real world, they would not have stayed in school all their life.

Man charged with murder of British student nurse
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clywjjjj0yeo
TWO pictures of the victim from the BBC for this one because she is cute and black. Same as the young girl who got stabbed by that black boy after they got off the school bus. The message is ‘Poor beautiful woman victim killed by a man’. No picture of the murderer though.
Which is odd because everyone else has it. Here he is:
This happens so often, it is 100% deliberate. They are protecting the identity of these murderers so we don’t associate them with the factual, absolutely disporportionate way they are done by black males.
Well colour me astonished. When I read that this poor girl had been stabbed to death in Texas I immediately envisaged the murderer looked a bit like James Dean or Rock Hudson on the film set of ‘Giant’. Just goes to show how wrong you can be…

Why don’t they choose the next pope using a ‘celebrity in the jungle’ or ‘celebrity big brother’ type of show on tv and the public can vote out the ones they don’t like until we have a winner.
Get a bunch of wannabe popes, put them in a room/camp/whatever and get filming.
Set them tasks such as getting their daily bread or who’s best at swinging the incense.

less hassle to get a flight to Dublin – loose your paperwork between the aircraft and immigration counter and take the train to Belfast
Fedup2
Spot on !
This so called British government cares more for foreign & alien peoples than its own.
I have no confidence in the PM.
Taffman – now that I am no longer a supporter of any party – or the false democracy of Britain – I wonder about just poor government – difficult decisions – why favour overseas give aways over the health of the old taxpayers .?
It’s just bad government . If only someone imported Common Sense .,,

Next time let us take them for the fools and idiots that they are by voting for Reform UK.
Dover MP Natalie Elphicke told the Commons that the BBC’s “shocking report” contained the “breath-taking” disclosure of free French public bus services being used to ferry migrants from camps to Dunkirk beaches.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-63229010
….
Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?

SACK THEM ALL!
Hey in a massive Te he he he he he he he he posting I just want to point out that my party won the latest election (again) with a massive 63% of the electorate.
The party? It is the ‘Don’t Vote Party’
This does not make me apathetic but politically promiscuous. I will help any party with the right policies. My vote only counts once, but if I leaflet for Reform then maybe by leafleting extensively in one town and two villages I can get five votes transferred (maybe).
One other thing I would like to see now that all relationships are regarded as temporary is a process of divorcing my MP. Why should I be shackled to them like a ball and chain? A quick I divorce thee Heylings three times in Lidl should do the trick. Then I could choose Lowe to be my new beau.
Just received an election communication from the Reform Party this afternoon 5 days after the election. Did the Post Office delay them deliberately or is it because the post in this part of the country is abysmal?
It was probably deliberate on the part of left wing postal unions.
“Delighted to speak with my friend PM
@Keir_Starmer
. In a historic milestone, India and the UK have successfully concluded an ambitious and mutually beneficial Free Trade Agreement, along with a Double Contribution Convention. These landmark agreements will further deepen our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, and catalyse trade, investment, growth, job creation, and innovation in both our economies. I look forward to welcoming PM Starmer to India soon.”

UK aid to India does little for human rights and democracy, watchdog finds

There commons back today – Tuesday – seems that the Lucy dog whistle Powell has survived her comment – as if any politician really gives a damn about paki rape gangs ….
“In 2021, Starmer authored a rather curious essay for the Fabian magazine.
He titled it ‘The Road Ahead’ and in it, he outlined several key policy proposals.
In one, he vowed to do away with the stonewalling under the Conservative govt.
He was, of course, referencing how so many Freedom of Information requests were refused by various govt departments under Conservative rule.
Under the Conservatives, we were denied basic tax info, immigration data, and Covid vaccine death records.
This was the sort of stuff that should be available to undergrad students—let alone professional journalists.
“Where the current Tory government has muddied the waters of transparency on the… things it does, I want to make it easier to hold government to account”, he wrote.
Fast forward to today…
Starmer’s own office has refused to release very basic details of messages and meetings related to official state visits.
Worse: they’ve declined to reveal how many messages have even been saved for the public record.
Not the content. Not the topics. Not the names involved.
Just the basic number of messages being kept.
In just four years, the man who promised to clean up government secrecy is arguably now withholding more than his predecessors.
He hasn’t just broken scores upon scores of promises—winter fuel, immigration, tuition fees…
He’s betrayed the very principles on which he campaigned.”
(Smarmer) “He’s betrayed the very principles on which he campaigned.”
He doesn’t have any principles to betray.
I’m sure that is a rhetorical question by Chris Parry. We know how they got in. They either came uninvited with the aid of the RNLI or Border Force or allowed in by successive anti-British governments to “rub our noses in diversity” .

Not much of a deal then
UK signs trade deal with India
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-signs-trade-deal-with-india
“to make working people better off”
The UK and India have today agreed a landmark trade deal which delivers on this government’s core mission of growing the economy, raising living standards, and putting money in people’s pockets.
Whisky and gin tariffs will be halved from 150% to 75% before reducing to 40% by year ten of the deal, while automotive tariffs will go from over 100% to 10% under a quota.
NO MENTION OF VISA…..
We send them whisky and gin, they send us people. Sounds fair.
For the removal of doubt …
Gaddafi wants EU cash (£4bn) to stop African migrants {bbc.co.uk aug2010}
“Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi says the EU should pay Libya at least 5bn euros (£4bn; $6.3bn) a year to stop illegal African immigration and avoid a ‘black Europe’.
…
‘We don’t know what will happen, what will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans,’ Col Gaddafi said…

He told them that Islam should become the religion of Europe and gave them free copies of the Koran, after he had lectured them for an hour on the freedoms enjoyed by women in Libya.”

British civil war – not if, but when?

“These malcontents bring their conflicts with them. That’s why Rakib Ehsan warns that civil war in Kashmir would be mimicked in Britain. Free movement also favours young men, who are better able to navigate the physical challenges of migration. Young men are better able to commit crime. Given more young men, particularly from sexist cultures, the rate of sex crime goes up. Immigrants are over-represented amongst sex criminals. British native girls have suffered decades of organised abuse by immigrant men. The government encourages immigrant sex crimes by covering them up. “
From Order Order.. . .
BRITISH JOBS FOR INDIAN WORKERS.
The Indian government says in a release:
“In an unprecedented achievement, India has secured an exemption for Indian workers who are temporarily in the UK and their employers from paying social security contributions in the UK for a period of three years under the Double Contribution Convention. This will make Indian service providers significantly more competitive in the UK.”
Early details appear to confirm that a new double contribution convention means Indian workers here temporarily won’t pay NICs for three years. That also applies to British workers in India. Quite the giveaway…
Voters may wish to compare this with Reeves’ NIC hike. Shadow business secretary Andrew Griffith attacks the move:
“Desperate for a positive headline, Keir Starmer has just signed a deal which exempts Indian workers transferred to the UK from paying National Insurance… after increasing it for British workers. Every time Keir Starmer negotiates, Britain loses.”
Details are still to come out in full. Could be a major row here…
Autumn 2024:
British government: ‘We are increasing employer’s national insurance contributions to pay for
immigration, foreign aid, weapons for Ukraine, Net Zero madnessthe £22 billion blackhole we inherited from the other wing of the UniParty.”British business: “But that will massively increase our costs!”
British government: “Don’t worry about that. We’re shortly opening the doors to hundreds of thousands more Indian workers and there’ll be no national insurance to pay at all! And the wages will be lower!”
If Lucy Powell can get away with her dog whistle trumpet offensive language by simply coming out with some sort of apology why doesn’t Lucy Connolly just say “sorry” and then she should be released from prison after her hurty post.

BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – they do not appear to be starving
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqj458798n2o The front page of the Financial Times carries a front page photo of Palestinians in Gaza fighting over bread. The front page of the Guardian yesterday had a picture of a woman being handed her dead baby. Although the man handing her the child had thin legs, it was obvious that he was not emaciated and it was true for the woman also.
The man in the photo taking bread from a cardboard box does not appear emaciated, similarly the women and children around him. Supplies of food are obviously getting through to the people of Gaza and the BBC narrative of wicked, heartless, Israel blocking supplies of aid and starving Palestinians appear to be extremely untrue. Typical BBC!
I am thinking of the liberation of Belsen and the human skeletons that Richard Dimbleby witnessed and reported on for the BBC just 80 years ago last month. That is real starvation.
Perhaps the pasta harvest has been good this year?
It’s all to play for in Italy and things are about to hot up. Not the Inter vs Barca match, the other contest. So who are the BBC rooting for?
“How African popes changed Christianity – and gave us Valentine’s Day”. So far only three from the continent, which is relegation level performance. “North Africa was once a Christian heartland, producing Catholic popes who left their mark on the Church to this day.” Alas not so much these days. But “some experts argue that the prevalence of Islam in North Africa does not explain the absence of a pope from the entire continent over more than 1,500 years.”
We’ll never know which experts, but we can trust that the BBC have hand picked ones happy to shift the blame closer to home.

BBC reports new trade deal with India without mentioning Brexit…no analysis to assess whether this would have been possible before Brexit…surely one of the much trumpeted benefits of Brexit….but instead they give credit to Trump…..lol…
‘US President Donald Trump’s tariff campaign has focused minds in other countries on how to respond, and increased the impetus to strike trade deals.’
Interesting that Labour will allow people to work here and not pay tax…..after chasing out the mega rich non-doms and their money….what’s the difference?
And Labour will block visas for people from certain countries…to little outrage…unlike when Trump banned people from 7 Muslim countries…that were on the blacklist already…Obama’s blacklist…but that was OK.
Curious how Labour gets so much leeway from the BBC….and note the comments about rape gangs being ‘dogwhistles’ has vanished from the BBC’s coverage…not important at all that Labour, from the top down, all want to bury the rape gang scandal so as not to upset their Muslim voters…echoes of the original scandal where white girls were sacrificed so as not to upset the Muslims.
Pug – seems their MP s didn’t challenge the ‘leader of the commons ‘ on her dog whistle … maybe she’s in charge of the expense claims – offices and the like …
.. or just as likely they Don’t Care …. And Don’t want to challenge the Muslim mafia gang …
Am I being biased in thinking that the majority of 24/7/365 petrol stations are now staffed by actual Indians?
Inflammatory… must be extreme right 🙂
And there is a chap in Romania who is favourite to win who would probably do the same.
It seems that the media has decided that Labour is not doing well and its all to do with the winter fuel payments. That maybe a contributing factor but there is a bigger reason that the media miss. Maybe it is because they actually hate this country and its people

Still means there are 6% less social housing for British people.
Huge arse
More than half of Brits think the death penalty should be brought back, reveals new poll. I notice they seem to miss why people feel unsafe. And it is not just the lack of police “on the beat”
I wonder what the percentage of people who did not feel safe in their own communities would have been in the 1950s and 60s?
So glad I stopped paying for this shite years ago ..
Simon Heffer: writing in DT (29th April 2025)
BBC drama has become pure liberal-elite poison
The Corporation’s charter is due to be renewed in December 2027. Whether the Government will renew it on the same terms is unclear, which should trouble BBC executives profoundly. Dr Samir Shah, the present chairman of the BBC board, called last November for the renewal process to be ended, arguing for a permanent establishment in the manner of the Bank of England and the British Council. In that case, the BBC should be funded out of taxation and subject to intense parliamentary scrutiny. Such scrutiny would almost certainly result in a contraction of its functions, as ways were sought to cut costs: I suspect Dr Shah and BBC executives would not approve.
…
Much of what one has seen on the BBC, by contrast, seeks to “educate” viewers about race, multiculturalism, gender, sexual orientation and much else on the woke agenda. No wonder fewer and fewer people watch the Corporation’s output. These are not the obsessions of the British public, but of a tiny minority who dominate senior roles at the BBC, talk mainly to each other and seek to impose their contemporary liberal-elite doctrines on others. ..
‘And while I haven’t watched Doctor Who since about 1970, I read recently that the ratings went off the proverbial cliff because of its woke storylines and obsession with diversity, with London apparently being rescued from disaster because the saviour was trans, and the Doctor himself realising that he had a tendresse for Sir Isaac Newton. Apparently, some people still let their children watch this manipulative garbage, and those of us still insane enough to buy a licence pay for it.
BBC television has ceased to be relevant to its customers. If the licence fee is abolished in 2027, it will not be a second too soon.

‘Simon Heffer is quite right about Doctor Who. The Radio Times reported its 15th season had attracted only 1.58 million viewers this month. The lowest ratings in its history.
