        Suspect charged after fire at Keir Starmer’s home named for first time
        Crown Prosecution Service makes major announcement following attack on property linked to the Prime Minister
        ——————————-
        A man has been charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life following attacks on property linked to the Prime Minister, the Metropolitan Police has said. Ukrainian Roman Lavrynovych, 21, was arrested at an address in Sydenham, south-east London, in the early hours of Tuesday.

        He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday. Counter-terrorism officers have been working “at pace” to establish the cause of the fires and “any potential motivation”, Scotland Yard previously said.

    Hospital bombing casualties. Food supplies unavailable. Some of the photos give the lie to what the Palestinians tell the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1de39v0r1kt The only reality is contained in the report by Wyre Davies some way down the article that I link above. The photos of Palestinians show no emaciation that we have become familiar with of Africans in a famine situation.

    I think the group think of the BBC is that the Israelis are imperialists = Britain – and The Palestinians are the underdogs – similar to the way they treat Irish nationalists – the good old IRA fighting for their crap freedom .

    So the BBC reporters know what song to sing . any ‘report ‘ by the Palestinian authority – Hamas terrorists – is taken as true – and not the propaganda grown ups can see 


    Flatten Gaza – keep going IDF

    This is almost too delicious for words…

    Britain’s own Idiot Amin, the grotesque and barely half-witted foreign secretary and serial race baiter, David Lammy, has himself been accused of racism. The biter has just been bit…and it couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke.

    Apparently, Lammy yelled at the French taxi driver, “Fxxxing French” after refusing to pay his fare.

    Now, I don’t know if there is any truth in this whatsoever…and what’s more I don’t much cere.

    It’s just lovely to see this useless fat fraudster squirming.

    And if found guilty he’s got to get 18 months, surely…

      People like Lammy are 100% racist against whites. They show it by accusing white people of being racist far too aggressively. They do it to enjoy the act of insulting them and bringing them down, not because they are actually offended.

      It’s the motivation which counts, not the words people use. And using that definition, he is as racist as anybody. But in this bizarre culture of the white-loathing Leftists, he is allowed to get away with it.

    Watch: UK surgeon shares footage from Gaza hospital after deadly Israeli strike
    https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cd0lj4rnre9o

    This bloke is right up the BBC’s street. His commentary is on the extreme : for example he says ‘The corridor is absolutely full of smoke’ while everyone else is walking down it normally. And as we see so often now, they can publish all the extremely biased commentary they like as long as they pretend it’s just what someone else said.

    When people like him start condemning Hamas for using hospitals as places to hide instead of making out Israel hit them for no reason – then I will take what they have to say seriously.

    Until then he goes into the ‘left-wing anti-Semitic, anti-Right, Muslim terrorist supporting activist’ bucket with the BBC and the entire UN.

    Isn’t it just amazing how people like him go straight to the BBC ?.

    As usual, I’m very late with this, but apparently it’s true…

    A 21 year old UKRAINIAN man has been charged with the arson attacks on Keir Starmer’s properties.

    FFS, he must be a “refugee” and we have stumped up over 15 billion quid since Russia invaded, with an unlimited amount of our hard earned dosh to be donated into the distant mists of time.

    Meanwhile, our own elderly can’t heat their homes, our schools are failing, the NHS is on its knees, but we’ve still got enough money to give to promote an insane war.

    I’d have thought the only person in Britain who might support the PM is this UKRAINIAN lad, but no.

    Even he hates Starmer…

    The Blob is causing the Vortex, ruthless vagaries and freedom of movement for ferrets edition

    It’s just a hunch but I’ve a feeling our Sir Keir Starmer this morning might be reflecting on that age-old adage: With friends like these, who needs enemies?

    Keir Starmer faced humiliation over his latest attempt at a migrant crackdown yesterday… used a trip to Albania to unveil plans to create Rwanda-style centres abroad to house failed asylum seekers… the initiative imploded on live TV just an hour later when his host, Albanian PM Edi Rama, ruled out ever taking part in the scheme (Daily Mail)

    Meanwhile: Ukrainian charged over Starmer firebombs (Telegraph); Roman Lavrynovych, a Ukrainian national, was charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life on Thursday. (BBC) – Shouldn’t Ukrainian young men of military age be back over there lobbing their Molotov cocktails at invading Russian tanks…? (Allegedly) Rather than featuring – embarrassingly for our peculiar refugee asylum system – in prime frontpage glamour shots on the cover of the Telegraph?

    Lost millions Arms deals that cost Kyiv (FT) – I think you’ll find – FT money experts – that a lot of that lost cash was our own British taxpayer money. Ukraine has been left exposed to the ruthless vagaries of the international weapons market

    One day he’s hobnobbing with the Euro top knobs – : Fact check: Was cocaine on the table in Macron video with Starmer, Merz? …official clarifies item was tissue amid Russian disinformation claims. (Al Jazeera) – and no one got high… honest…

    Not like Grammy Award nominee rapper Afroman admitted in his lyric back in 2000

    I was gonna go to court before I got high (ooh-ooh-ooh)
    I was gonna pay my child support, but then I got high (no, you wouldn’t, yeah)
    They took my whole paycheck and I know why (why? Man)
    ‘Cause I got high, because I got high, because I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)

    As for Albania, your news reviewer hereabouts, dear readers, had never heard of Edi Rama. (He may as well have been a rap star) Cue Mr Fedup doing his impression of a high court judge responding to some reference to The Beatles or Rolling Stones. However, Mr AsI… much in the manner of a real journo – will do a bit of Google and pretend I’m suddenly an expert on that mysterious mountainous Balkan enclave.

    Rama is the only Albanian prime minister in history to have won four terms in a row. His party has won all seven elections since 2013—four parliamentary ones and three local ones – thank you Wiki.

    To be honest the only Albanian leader I could name would be King Zog… Oh, and that post-war commie forty-odd year dictator- Enver Hoxha.

    But we digress.

    UK scrambles for new migrant deal in Balkans after Albania snub (i paper)

    Your Mr AsI rather tired of the term ‘mass immigration’ preferring his own formulation ‘hyper-immigration’ – particularly amid the Boris Wave that post-Brexit punishment beating for Britain – ‘hyper’ reflecting both the quantity and the sheer speed of the process.

    Robert Shrimsley in the globalist FT goes further – speaking of migration by conjuring images of a bath tub plug hole-like whirling mass: Starmer falls victim to the immigration vortex

    The vorticists were a British avant-garde group formed in London in 1914 with the aim of creating art that expressed the dynamism of the modern world – thank you again Wiki

    Here’s a hint for Sir Keir’s policy team – the solution to our migrant problem lies not so much with unpredictable uncooperative obscure Balkan potentates – nor indeed with the anti-Brit machinations of the Brussels bureaucracy. The heart of your problem Keir (as I think you will recognise) is our very own civil service, judicial and NGO sectors – ie the Blob is causing the blockage that is in turn causing the Vortex. It needs a good flushing out with a Dyno-Rod.

    Is Britain really inching back towards the EU? – ponders the BBC’s Damian Grammaticas, Political correspondent & Luke Mintz, BBC News.

    For wont of illustration of their article gifting BBC graphic designers the opportunity to have fun with flags suggestively drawing a jigsaw puzzle with the British union flag piece adjacent, but not yet fixed, into its apparent home in the larger starry EU flag picture.

    Call me old-fashioned but when I see a graphic of a little union flag like that facing the big continental mass I’m inevitably put in mind of Bud Flanagan intoning “Who do you think you are kidding…” accompanying the opening title graphics to the comic Dad’s Army

    I assume the midly conservative somewhat ‘Brexity’ (TM HM Kent Constabulary) Daily Telegraph is taking the michael out of Sir Keir: Britain asks to rejoin pet passport scheme… UK officials have pushed for British cats, dogs and ferrets to regain EU freedom of movement

    In British media, a “reverse ferret” refers to a sudden, often shameless, reversal in an organisation’s editorial or political position on a particular issue, without any acknowledgment of their previous stance – thank you AI

    Russia and Ukraine will hold talks in Istanbul in coming hours, Turkey says
    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c74nxrr7mwkt

    What an utter farce. The EU do not want peace and since they replaced Biden’s arm up the puppets backside, neither do Ukraine. Whoever had the idea for Zelensky to taunt Putin like a schoolboy is either an idiot or clever enough to know it meant Putin would never attend. Probably the latter given we know the EU want all of Ukraine for themselves.

    The end result will be nothing. Zero. Zilch. Everything will continue as it is now.

    The only reason they are doing this is that they know Trump means what he says – so they both want to stay on his good side.

    Having legally entered britainistan yesterday – im a bit out of the loop — but picked up on the www that an ex director of the FBI put up an image ‘8647’ which apparently means ‘kill president Trump ‘.
    Im sure the BbC features this in its ‘ news ‘( or does it ?)
    The BBC /Biden Obama administration has always claimed the FBI is ‘neutral ‘ and that the prosecutions from 6 January were ‘legal ‘ – so the 8647 provides tangible evident of the truth about the FBI .
    Kash Patel – new director of the FBI – gave both barrels to the Biden congressional over site committee yesterday – he explained he is cleaning up the FBI – it will take a lot of loo paper

        “The charges against Connolly, a childminder, followed an outburst on X (formerly Twitter) on 29 July last year, just hours after three girls were fatally stabbed at a holiday club in Southport by Axel Rudakubana.

        The most provocative thing about this show is the title. Chris Bush and Matt Winkworth’s musical is definitely not a call for the murder of a self-styled hate figure. Rather, it’s an intelligent, thoughtful and often wryly enjoyable look at the polarisation of public debate in the age of social media, and what happens when it ceases to be a discourse and becomes a mere echo chamber. Lucy Osborne’s design of stairs, platforms and movable screens features the lights of thousands of endlessly winking mobile phones.

Some might say that it is a sign of desperation from a Labour Government headed by TTK who have been rebuffed for seeking a Rwanda-lite deal with Albania.

    The ever vile Maitlis calls Lowe a racist for wanting to ask questions about the rape gangs…she makes a completely false comparison between white rape gangs who are rapidly dealt with by the law and Muslim rape gangs that took decades to bring to justice…and even now, witness this interview, we have people trying to cover up for these Muslim rape gangs. She then goes on to state that Lowe finds it ‘funny’ that people politicise child exploitation…and yet he never said that….and if anything it is her and her ilk who try to politicise this issue. She then makes a shamelessly false accusation saying Lowe should be ashamed of ‘making money’ off child exploitation…when he has given money to the campaign for an inquiry.

    Maitlis completely misses the point…that the Institutions, including the BBC, stood by and watched young white girls being raped and abused by Muslim men because they were afraid of being called racist….and Maitlis is continuing that in this interview trying to silence and demonise Lowe calling him a racist as well as making many obviously false accusations about him.

    Will BBC Verify be running an eye over Maitlis’ dishonest, hostile and bigoted session? The BBC that tells us fact finding is one of its core missions now and social media is a cesspool of lies and disinformation that needs to be monitored and censured….prime example …..Maitlis & Co?

    One positive…didn’t see one comment on the video that wasn’t a negative about Maitlis….not that she cares….she’s shameless and will get many a backslap from her pals like Lineker and of course is making money out of her ‘shockjock’ type clickbait garbage….irony of her calling Lowe shameless…especially as he’s not making money but she is out of this.

When the BBC is usually so eager to pin the blame on Russia why is there no comment that this is likely a Russian ‘Ukrainian’? BBC probably combing through his tweets to see if he has mentioned Farage at all….then they’ll mention the Russia connection and try and smear Farage with the highly tenuous non-link.

      Why not zero? Net zero? Zero cars.

      “By instigating ‘Year Zero’ Pol Pot wished to create a state focused on their rural idyll, with all citizens pledging loyalty in a way which prohibited all personal, community or religious allegiances.”

      Yep…heard it on the radio….20 mph on country lanes and single tracks.

      Sounds daft and unworkable but that is in fact the point as they try to drive you out of your cars…you can guarantee it will pick up momentum as politicians, those who are onboard and helped create this idea, and those who are too dumb to say no and jump aboard all happyclappy full of good intentions….and then there’s the lefty media who you can guarantee will push this to the max.

      The other guarantee is that you’ll get no say whatsoever if they have their way…look at the LTNs…imposed at the stroke of a councillor’s pen….illegally as it turns out….though in future they will make great play of ‘consultation’ whilst finding ways to completely ignore it anyway.

    ‘Hamas-run civil defence agency’

    Sounds benign and harmless….or is it the people who in their role of ‘civil defence’ beat to death a man who protested against Hamas?

    BBC making no attempt to make any distinction between civilian and terrorist deaths….just Israel murders XX Palestinians.

    I imagine that the current BBC would be in Nazi Germany making scathing accusations of war crimes against the Allies. We might well have lost if people like Bowen & Co were feeding us the enemy’s propaganda….or at least a lot more casualties as the war was made so much harder and longer to win if politicians kowtowed to the BBC and had to make sure there were no civilian deaths.

    “It’s not just a minister’s job this is everybody’s job
. we still are putting out press releases which are headed by X million pounds for X project. The public has no idea – I have no idea – whether that pound sign is next to something that’s a big number a small number, more than last time less than last time – don’t know what that project is. We’re talking to ourselves far too often when we ought to be talking about people and stories
 we’ve got to when we say make the case it’s about yes identify where the need is.”
    – Jenny Chapman

    HA HA HA

    In March FCDO issues a press release with Chapman announcing £10 million to support Myanmar. It had a quote from her promising the reader that: “This £10 million package will bolster [Myanmar’s] efforts.”

    So, why don’t they just surrender, give back the hostages and have peace?

    The BBC will never ask them.

      Soon … “At a press conference about the crisis, a French official who offers a speech in praise of the migrants is confronted by a journalist who claims he is merely trying to “feed the invaders” and demands to know if France will “have the courage to stand up to” the migrants when they reach France. The official decries this question as morally offensive and threatens to throw the journalist out when he continues to yell. Other journalists seek to inflame tensions between the French and Africans and Arabs already living in the country. Over time, these journalists begin to write that the migrant fleet is on a mission to “enrich, cleanse and redeem the Capitalist West”. At the same time as the fleet is praised by those in Paris, the people of Southern France, terrified of the migrants’ arrival, flee to the north.”

    I’m rather taking to watching Mike Graham on Talk TV around midday, when a tincture beckons – as does lunch…

    Today he had two very decent discussions with two different commentators, John Rentoul and Benedict Spence, and a lot of sense was discussed, even though the ‘politics’ of both men are somewhat opposite!

    One statement from Spence rang a large bell, as he just mentioned that all this green scam nonsense being scrabbled around by the Marxist Milliband, was all for benefitting the people of London, and the huge solar ‘farms’ being shoved up on beautiful British countryside, were never for the benefit of country-dwellers, just Londoners who get the dubious ‘benefit’ of the ‘cheap’ (rubbish) electricity, without the distaste of seeing our green and pleasant fields with crops and animals, just ugly black panels – probably with China stamped all over them.

    My apologies go to friends here who actually live in the Capital, I don’t of course mean you…

    BBC usually obsessed by Viktor Orban….but his speech to the Conference of Speakers of European Union Parliaments is apparently not worth a look…maybe, like Enoch Powell, he speaks uncomfortable truths….

    ‘Today the world is undergoing a transformation on a scale comparable only to the Peace of Westphalia, which marked the birth of modern nation states. The world is changing, the mindset of the Western world is changing, and we Europeans must respond. New winds are blowing in the United States. The political programme of progressive liberalism has failed, and has been replaced by patriotic politics. This change is not only a domestic political development in the US, but also has major international consequences. We do not know for sure what the future holds, because we cannot know; we believe, however, that the United States has not suffered an electoral accident, but has embarked on a new era. Over the past eighty years it has been in the interest of the United States to maintain a liberal international order. This has come to an end. It has now begun to dismantle this order, because it no longer sees it as being in its own interests. Across the ocean the curtain has come down on the old world order. China, meanwhile, is moving ahead at breakneck speed. It is now competing with us not only in industrial capacity, but also in technology. India is about to enter the global political arena. The world’s most populous country is a superpower not only in population, but also in economic and technological ambition. It has the backing of the world’s largest market, and has all the potential to become a global powerhouse on a par with China. What about us in Europe? Europe is unprepared! It is as if we are trying to solve the problems of the next decade with solutions from the previous decade. But the old truths are no longer working. The world has changed, but we Europeans have not followed. I have been a member of the European Council for fifteen years, and I have personally lived through these wasted years, through fifteen years of drift.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, if we had led Hungary the way the Commission has led Europe, we would have been ruined long ago. The Western strategy aimed at breaking Russia has failed. No one dares to admit it, but we have lost this war. Russia’s economy has not collapsed, sanctions have not worked, and the Russians have prevented Ukraine becoming a member of NATO. The Americans have recognised this and are now negotiating. We Europeans are continuing the war and pretending that we can win. I hope I am wrong, but we will end up alone with this war in our neighbourhood, while we spend all our money on an unattainable victory. We have abandoned Europe’s successful economic strategy. Cheap energy – which is of course Russian – plus advanced technology – which is mostly German – adds up to a competitive European economy. That was the old strategy. We have abandoned it, there is no new one, and we are left in the middle of nowhere. Cheap energy has vanished from Europe. American and Chinese companies now have access to energy at a third or a quarter the price of that available to European companies. We Europeans only have access to expensive energy because of the sanctions. The sanctions combined with the Green Deal are destroying the European economy. Under these conditions we are not competing, but retreating. This is no longer a theoretical issue, but economic reality. It is causing the European economy to stagnate, and we can be thankful if it does not contract. Today, only four of the world’s fifty biggest technology companies are European. In the last twenty years the gap between European GDP and US GDP has doubled. Since 2000 per capita real income has grown twice as fast in the US as in the EU. These problems are serious enough on their own, but now they are happening simultaneously. We need a new strategy and strong European leaders. ‘

    Our industrial base and living standards being destroyed by high energy costs and nut zero policies.[and then there’s immigration of people who hate us]

    Oooh, what a treat. I’m going to give myself another Gold Star. First I’m into Complaints Annex B, and now this…

    This morning, I received some 20-odd emails from our beloved State Broadcaster telling me “We’ve removed your comment on the BBC”. They listed all of the comments I have made on BBC news pages in the last year or so under the “Have Your Say” feature they rarely provide. This was because all of my comments – no matter how old – “broke the house rules”, and despite many being there for months.

    They were followed by a final email titled “We’ve stopped you from commenting on the BBC”. Have you. Have you really. I don’t think so. I was given the opportunity to appeal the decision but, having done so, my appeal was rejected. Judge, jury and executioner, as usual.

    So what prompted this? My comment on the recent story about Davie’s appeal to build “trust”, in which the BBC will play a big part. Yeah, right. My comment was this: “Nice of Davie to dress up for the occasion”. The usual scruffy jacket, crumpled open-neck shirt, jeans, white trainers.

    What did I do wrong?

    Still, I’m happy that I have wasted somebody’s time today. First the emails, then they had to read and respond to my appeal. Glad I’m not paying!
