Weekend 17th May 2025

The magic of the FA cup cliche . With Gary Linaker due to present the BBC coverage – will he make some snide comment about his anti semitism ? Or read a statement from the autocue ? Or be judged to be not fit to be on the State Broadcaster at all ?

    He can be so brutal ‘the Europeans imported Muslims to have the children they couldn’t be bothered having ‘…. Blimey – both barrels – BBCOFCOM wouid a seizure ….right Mohammed ?

    Mr steyn seemed much calmer then …. Sounds weird having ‘bush ‘ referred to as president …

    ‘You can maintain a population in a state of constant adolescence ‘.._ -Europe – hence achieving nothing – no drive – complacent politicians …

    No wonder he got banned …

    Welcome to a BBC discussion in 2025. BBC Politics East discusses men in women’s spaces – with SEVEN trans activists (and one woman). Then back in the studio two trans activists talk to a presenter with a clear pro trans agenda (while another woman briefly speaks by video link)

    Hence, BBC SaNAFU

    TWoTWee Watch #1 – the BBC appear desperate to get the UK back into ……

    … the EU. Jonny Dymond was presenting TWoTWee. (Ed Stourton, RC, has probably used BBC privilege to attend the inauguration of the new Pope.) When I came back from church and switched on the radio, Jonny was busy interviewing various EU luminaries about the sticking points between the EU and the UK. Fish, freedom of movement for young people, UK forces forced to fight under a EU flag, EU regulation taking, that sort of thing.

    Then Jonny brought on Alastair Campbell who Jonny honestly described as a ‘Remainer’ and campaigner to get the UK back into the EU. Addled Al batted away the objections from Jonny about the UK rejoining the EU thick and fast. BBC: Got to get the UK into the EU. Alcohol addled Al reckons that a high proportion of those who voted for Brexit want back in to the EU!

      Tomo – Alison Pearson ‘column on the court of appeal theorised that the reason the judges wouldn’t give an instant judgement was that they didn’t want a ‘spectacle ‘ outside the High Court – particularly if she was freed – which I think they won’t do .
      Instead they ll publish their verdict on Friday before the long week end bank holiday …

      When you think about it they’ve got a tricky job either way . If they let her out it was an unduly severe sentence – thus admitting the TTK repression we are living in .

      If they keep her in – it is again supporting the TTK repression .

      I think the way they’ll let her out is to say there are compelling personal circumstances not available to the sentencing court which now changes the complexion of the case .

      If they let her out I fear this miscarriage will be forgotten – unless she campaigns … but the MSM will treat her like Tommy Robinson …

        Perhaps they could not make a decision until they had received instructions from the Government. So much for the separation of powers.

      The punishment is the time taken to find out she is innocent.

      “A suspended Labour councillor has denied encouraging violent disorder in connection with comments at a counter-protest.”
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgrj75yx2q0o

      Mr Jones could be seen in the video appearing to tell a crowd in Walthamstow, north London, that demonstrators should “have their throats cut.”

      A trial has been set for January next year.
      ** FAST JUSTICE!

    Turbulent times making the point that creating a new Home Guard to defend our critical infrastructure from attack is pretty pointless when on the other hand we have maybe 30,000 people on the watch-list already in the UK who could be more easily removed from the UK for a fraction of the cost and bother.

      The study found disturbing evidence of young Muslims adopting more fundamentalist beliefs on key social and political issues than their parents or grandparents.

      news-graphics-2007-_442963a.jpg

      Three out of four young Muslims would prefer Muslim women to “choose to wear the veil or hijab,” compared to only a quarter of over-55s

      Three out of four HA HA HAH AHA HHAAH AH AH! Modern Islam!

      Britain’s foreign policies were a key issue among the Muslim population as a whole, with 58 per cent arguing that many of the world’s problems are “a result of arrogant Western attitudes”. However, knowledge of foreign affairs was sketchy, with only one in five knowing that Mahmoud Abbas was the Palestinian president.

      knowledge of foreign affairs was sketchy HA HA AHA HHA !

      In a move that will please the Tory Right, Mr Cameron will warn that urgent action must be taken to get a grip of an immigration system that is out of control.

      2007 get a grip of an immigration system that is out of control HA HA HA HAH HA HA HA 2007

      Mr Cameron will criticise “simplistic” attempts at community cohesion, such as Gordon Brown’s call for people to put up the Union flag.

      Erect a flag! Rainbow flag?! HAHHA HA HA HA! Sell the gold! HA AH HAHA

      Do we have enough soldiers in the British Army to fight off the “30,000” in a possible Fifth Column? ‘Horse & Stable Door’ comes to mind.
      Lessons to be learned ?
