    TOADY Watch #1 – er, BBC forgotten something, as you usually do on a Saturday

    The BBC were so obsessed on TOADY with the strikes from Pakistan on India that they forgot the ‘First Look at the Papers’ together with the newspaper reviews before the sports report at 7.25 a.m. and 8.25 a.m. but I had stopped listening by that later time. Jeremy Bowen is International Editor now, not just Middle East Editor, and he was brought in to opine on the retaliatory strikes from Pakistan on India.

      Nothing to do with tattoos, just an Immigration judge (apparently many of immigrant stock themselves, or ultra-liberal) looking for an excuse, however trivial, to comply with UN Agenda 2030 Common Purpose training and the WEF Manifesto, despite this being against the express wishes of the majority of indigenous Brits

      Laser treatment for tattoo removal is not routinely funded on the NHS. In severe or exceptional cases the Exceptional Funding Panel in your area may consider this. If you think you may be eligible, discuss this with your GP.

      Tattoo removal through the NHS is generally not routinely funded, but it may be considered in exceptional cases. The cost of private tattoo removal can vary widely, typically ranging from £70 per session to upwards of £600 for complete removal of a small tattoo.

      This victory became one of the most celebrated events of sixteenth-century Europe, to the point that Voltaire said: “Nothing is better known than the siege of Malta.” It undoubtedly contributed to the eventual erosion of the European perception of Ottoman invincibility, although the Mediterranean continued to be contested between Christian coalitions and the Muslim Turks for many years.[6]

      Mustafa had the bodies of the knights decapitated and their bodies floated across the bay on mock crucifixes. In response, de Valette beheaded all his Turkish prisoners, loaded their heads into his cannons, and fired them into the Turkish camp.[39]

    “The figures were revealed in a Parliamentary answer this week. Trade minister Kevin Hollinrake told MPs that “at the end of 2023, approximately 700 pieces of Retained EU Law” were revoked.

    Hollinrake also admitted that there is far more retained EU law than previously thought – some 5,020 pieces of EU legislation – compared to the 4,800 EU laws previously disclosed by ministers.”

    “Caught red handed – policing the men buying sex”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y6030knxdo

    “Their aim is to combat night-time exploitation and harm, focusing on criminalising the men, rather than the women.”

    Police pair out on patrol video, religious looking male teamed up with a lesbian ?
    Charging the men and letting the ‘vulnerable’ women off.

    I’m not comfortable with the police deciding whom to target and whom to ignore.
    No problem for the BBC though, as there’s a male v female element .

    “It’s nine o’clock on a bitterly cold Monday evening and as temperatures dip below freezing, we are heading out with the Op Boss and Night Light police teams.

    We’re in a residential part of Bristol, with a children’s play area right next to it. Not necessarily the sort of place you’d expect sex work to be happening.”

    Throw an empty playground in for effect.
    Police/ BBC love micro managing peoples lives.
    Naturally there’s a course for it:

    “More than 1,000 men have been sent on a course to prevent reoffending and to learn about the women’s vulnerabilities since Op Boss started.”

      Bottles have been thrown at police during an operation to crack down on illegal street market stalls during Ramadan, officers said.

      The incident happened at 01:30 BST on Sunday as a large crowd gathered in Small Heath, Birmingham.

      Police said the operation alongside trading standards officers followed residents’ complaints about roads being blocked and anti-social behaviour.

      One officer suffered minor injuries, West Midlands Police said.

      Numerous reports of criminal damage are also being investigated, it added, after other missiles were thrown.

    The telegraph is carrying a story of an ex special Constable arrested at his home over an allegation of malicious communication in a tweet . Although the incident happened in 2023 it echoes what is going on now .

    6 plod raided his home – handcuffed him despite one having worked with him – seized all his computer stuff – videoed the books he had – including one by Douglas Murray …. And forced him to accept a caution in order to avoid a ‘charge ‘.

    Since then a ‘review’ has been conducted which showed he committed no crime – shouid not have been forced into a caution and plod has expunged it .

    It’s not Britain anymore ladies and gentlemen – plod is a thuggish occupation force – even before TTK – and freedom is gone . I bet 77 brigade passes this on so that I get the ‘treatment ‘…

    Naturally the comments are ballistic

    The only way this is going to stop is for a real regime change – but the details of the individual plod involved should be made public – names – faces – there has to be individual accountability ….

      All it will take is one spark to set off the powder keg which is modern Britain

      “I went to my childhood town today, Romford. I was shocked at the decay within 5 or so years.
      Barely heard a word of English, deliveroo bikes everywhere, and a general feeling of unease.
      The native population are being hung out to dry, and told that it’s good for them.”

      “21st December 1989. In Romania Nicolai Ceausescus was giving his speech praising socialism and denouncing previous riots as the product of far right fascist agitators (any of this sounding familiar?) when the watching crowd suddenly turned on him and began to boo and heckle and jeer. Unable to control the crowd and continue his speech he retreated into the office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. Open rebellion broke out in the streets and by the following day the military was siding with the rebels and Ceausescue escaped by helicopter as the all powerful Communist Party ceased to exist. On Christmas Day 1989 he and his wife were tried and executed for genocide (another word that is in common usage today) . He had gone from being the most powerful person in a subservient country to being dead in under a week. Nobody saw it coming. If it happened once their it could happen again anywhere”

      ……………………………….

      Genocide is defined as an act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. It’s a crime distinguished by its motivation to completely exterminate a specific group, making it the gravest of crimes against humanity. The 1948 Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines acts like killing, causing serious bodily (LGBT+) or mental harm (LOCKED UP FOR TWEETS), and imposing conditions of life to destroy the group (SMALL BOATS) , as well as measures to prevent births (CLIMATE CHANGE) and forcibly transferring children (1400 RAPED GIRLS), as acts of genocide.

      Sporting venues across London routinely serve Halal meat to customers without informing them, it has emerged.

      Many Muslims only eat Halal meat, which is from animals whose throats have been cut to drain them of blood while they are still alive and conscious.

    And I mentioned that it is a silly show , cos it’s all PR theatre
    and mentioned an audience member had made a long statement where she mixes up CO2 with particulate pollution.
    Grok asked me for the exact words.
    .. Later it told me the false statement was not corrected by the panel or Bruce
    I said how do you know that
    The AI told me that it had just watched the video

    Putin says Russia and Ukraine should meet to negotiate ‘lasting peace’
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce821nl3251o

    Now we are entering a phase of lies a bluffing. Let’s see if I can predict what will happen:

    Ukraine will not agree to talks. The EU will instruct the comedian with a reason why it’s Russia’s fault they will not. Putin knows this already which is why he has done this.

    A ceasefire will be arranged with the condition that neither side uses it as an opportunity to re-arm and reinforce the front lines. Ukraine will do exactly that and arms shipments from the EU will be stepped up dramatically.

    Russia will know about it of course and attack those doing it. The West will dismiss their claims as an excuse to break the ceasefire and all the blame from the BBC will be on Russia. There will be no fact checking for this one.

    We end up back right where we are now. Russia will never give up Crimea or the Eastern buffer it has taken and the ‘Alliance of the willing’, sorry, Zelensky will insist upon it as a condition for peace for exactly that reason. And the war – along with all it’s profits and kickbacks for the big players – will continue. And a lot of politicians will get rich.

      Your final sentence sums it all up, JC – follow the money!

      I’m wondering how long the cash will be available now, we certainly don’t have enough here to look after our own country and the ballooning illegals and a failing industrial/commercial base, so presumably the EU will start to get the long-term bills through the Brussels letterbox, by which time it’ll be too late for the great European experiment to survive.

      Of course, we’ll get drawn in on a good day to bury bad news, as TTK is so weak he’ll roll over when they ask him to stump up, meaning even more anguish for GB…

      So Macron rejects Putins terms – WTF has it got to do with France ?? – now the comedian says there must be a fully unconditional 30 day truce before any talks can start.

      Not a chance Russia will accept that and they know it. All they want is to reinforce and rearm. It’s clear as day. They might agree to a ceasefire but it will last 3 days at the absolute most.

      It saddens me to realise that the war will continue until they have to stop it because Russia will take the whole country. And the BBC don’t give a shit how many tens of thousands of brave Ukranian soldiers will die. They will simply continue to totally ignore the subject.

      How I wish we could pack all these people off to the front lines to see what they are supporting. Both in Ukraine AND in Gaza. They would be instant wimpering cowards.

      Conversation

      @CalumDouglas1
      I`ve always thought the Sycamore Gap tree felling story was “off”, it never made sense. Why on earth would you travel to such a specific, notable and popular location to carry out an immensely risky felling of a famous tree, for which you would be obviously very likely to be spotted ?

      Why not just cut down any old tree in a forest somewhere, which would not even be noticed ?

      The police reported:

      “Superintendant Kevin Waring of Northumbria Police said no explanation had ever been offered for the felling, but “there never could be a justifiable one”.”

      Yet this is clearly rubbish, because we know that the local council denied Daniel Graham planning permission to make permanent his caravan home next to Hadrians wall, and “amazingly” just a few months later he cut down one of the most famous landmarks next to …. Hadrians wall.

      Mindless vandalism it was described as, well clearly it was vandalism, and stupid but was hardly without motive, and was therefore not mindless.

      How can the police possibly say that “no explanation had ever been offered” when it was blindingly obvious what the motive was, revenge against the local council.

      I wonder why the police have been so reticent to delve into “motive”.

      Only after the court case, are some newspapers picking up on the planning permission motive. Very odd that it appears to have been utterly bypassed by the prosecution.”

      The Sunday Times reports that a woman is to lead the secret intelligence service, MI6, for the first time, external after interviews took place last week. Dame Barbara Woodward, the UK’s ambassador to the UN, is reportedly the “runaway favourite” for the role. The paper adds that the other two candidates cannot be named for safety reasons, and that Dame Barbara’s critics say she is too sympathetic towards China. The final decision will rest with the prime minister. Downing Street declined to comment.

    I wonder if there are ‘guidelines ‘ to control such conduct ?

    How should the allegator be treated ? Named? Arrested for a malicious allegation?

    Who authorises the investigation? The arrest and search? The handcuffs ? The detention ? Thr decision to caution / prosecute?

    How are they – individually held to account ?

        The problem is that this case will never get to court because the lawyer will get the (25%?) out of court settlement with an added sum for a ‘non disclosure ‘clause

        A couple of hundred thousand paid our now looks better than a TTK hearing .. what do you think ?

    Key information
    The Supreme Court ruled that in the Equality Act 2010 (the Act), ‘sex’ means biological sex.

    This means that, under the Act:

    A ‘woman’ is a biological woman or girl (a person born female)

    A ‘man’ is a biological man or boy (a person born male)

    If somebody identifies as trans, they do not change sex for the purposes of the Act, even if they have a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC).

    A trans woman is a biological man

    A trans man is a biological woman

    This judgment has implications for many organisations, including:

    workplaces
    services that are open to the public, such as hospitals, shops, restaurants, leisure facilities, refuges and counselling services

    sporting bodies

    schools

    associations (groups or clubs of more than 25 people which have rules of membership)

    https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre/interim-update-practical-implications-uk-supreme-court-judgment

    However, it could be indirect sex discrimination against women if the only provision is mixed-sex.

    Pupils who identify as trans girls (biological boys) should not be permitted to use the girls’ toilet or changing facilities, and pupils who identify as trans boys (biological girls) should not be permitted to use the boys’ toilet or changing facilities. Suitable alternative provisions may be required.

    Members of the Sainsbury family, notably Lord David Sainsbury and his daughter Fran Perrin, have made significant contributions to the Labour Party. Below is a summary of their reported donations based on available information:
    Lord David Sainsbury:
    Donated approximately £16 million to the Labour Party between 1996 and 2006.

    Contributed £2 million in 2022, marking a return to significant donations after a hiatus during the Jeremy Corbyn era.

    Gave £3.07 million in 2023, one of the largest individual donations to Labour that year.

    Donated £2.5 million during the 2024 general election campaign (May 30 to July 4, 2024).

    Provided £2.15 million in 2016, primarily to support the EU referendum “Remain” campaign.

    Total contributions from Lord Sainsbury to Labour since the 1990s are estimated to exceed £25 million, with specific large donations noted in various years.

    Fran Perrin (Lord David Sainsbury’s daughter):
    Donated £500,000 in 2022.

    Gave £1.06 million in 2023, the largest-ever donation by a female donor to Labour.

    Total contributions from Fran Perrin to Labour are reported to be around £2 million since 2021.

    Combined Contributions:
    In 2023 alone, Lord Sainsbury and Fran Perrin together donated over £4 million to Labour.

    The Sainsbury family’s contributions in 2022 helped Labour raise over £6 million from individuals and companies, the highest since 2008.

    Posts on X estimate the combined donations from Lord Sainsbury and his daughter at almost £5 million in recent years, though this may reflect specific large donations rather than a comprehensive total.

    Notes:
    Context: Lord David Sainsbury, a former chairman of Sainsbury’s supermarket chain, was a major Labour donor during the Blair and Brown eras but reduced support under Corbyn. His return to funding Labour under Keir Starmer reflects confidence in the party’s current leadership.

    Other Donations: Lord Sainsbury has also donated to other parties, including £8 million to the Liberal Democrats in 2019 and £2.1 million in 2016, often tied to anti-Brexit campaigns.

    Verification: These figures are drawn from reports by reputable sources (e.g., The Guardian, BBC, The Independent) and Electoral Commission data. However, exact totals may vary slightly due to reporting periods or undisclosed smaller donations. For precise figures, you can check the Electoral Commission’s database directly.

          A court filing – made by a US-based organisation fighting a subpoena from an American lobbyist who had been hired by Qatar – shows that the Middle East state transferred millions to FIFA committee members. The Qatar National Bank (QNB) sent these funds directly to the committee members – who were in charge of voting for the host nation for each football World Cup, which is held every four years.

          Money was passed immediately to one of the prince’s charities, says Clarence House

          Fawcett resigned from his position in Charles’s inner circle in March 2003, after a report by Sir Michael Peat identified mismanagement at Clarence House. The Peat inquiry found that Fawcett had accepted “numerous gifts in the course of his royal service”, but cleared him of any financial impropriety. Fawcett continued to work for Charles on a freelance basis as a fixer and party planner.

      Tomo – you started it . Sainsbury’s love me – I get ‘turned over ‘ more times than not . You see – because I have a motor bike all my stuff goes into my backpack in order to stop me ‘over buying ‘…
      So when I get to the check out i get the full treatment …

      .. I once got the full treatment . They wanted to see everything . It was 120l backpack – military issue . I asked for privacy . Next thing I knew there was a store security and the manager taking me to the ‘shoplifters’ office … which is wired for sound and CCTV .
      I hadn’t stolen anything ,I knew it . So I said do you really want to see everything ? They said yes – I said am I under arrest ? They said ‘no ‘. So I said ‘im going ‘ – here’s your stuff
      And upended all the shopping onto their floor and walked out . …
      Fortunately I think I was more legally aware than them …. And was ready for the ‘unlawful arrest ‘ / common assault ….

      Bloody effing Sainsbury’s …

        And they also suggested to customers, that if they didn’t like their sham ‘love a refugee/foreigner’ programme, we could shop elsewhere.

        So we did, and funnily enough, owing to roadworks, I can’t reach my local supermarket, and was considering doing my major shop in JS, but reading this, I certainly will not be going there now – Tesco here I come…

        Back then, our housekeeping bill was around £225.00 a month, that’s enough to pay a decent shop instead of Sainsbury now!
