    Lucy Connolly continues to rot in jail for an angry tweet, while the followers of a certain cult are quite free to share passages of their ‘scriptures’ that actively incite violence and terror against non-believers.

      MOTHER OF THE HOUSE …. HA HA HAH AHAH H!

      “Shadow Health Minister Diane Abbott has apologised for any offence caused by comments she made on Twitter, after claims they were racist.

      She said she had not meant to generalise when she wrote, external: ”White people love playing ‘divide & rule'”.”

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16423278

      Ms Abbott, the first black woman to be elected as an MP, had earlier tweeted that her remark had been “taken out of context”.

      ………………
      Lucy Connolly should say they are taking the comments out of context! Or say Gary Lineker told her to say it.

    “Brit arrested in Bali pleads judges for leniency as prosecutors say they want to DROP drug charges that carry death sentence”

    Dude caught red handed with a kilo of drugs, back in January.
    But:
    “During the police investigation, Parker was able to prove that he did not order the package.
    Authorities reduced the charge from trafficking to the less serious offence of hiding information from authorities. ”

    He claims he was just picking up a regular package for a friend as a favour 🙂
    Must have paid an absolute fortune in bribes this late in the case

      Al
      That means it costs more for Rachel to borrow money ?

      And it means that the cost of servicing UK debt is going up ?

      That correct please ?

      Which means she has to tax us more to pay for government spending ?

    “Ebid, whose wife and sons are in the UK, had been living in Home Office-funded accommodation in south-west London at the time of his arrest.”

    An Egyptian fisherman who helped organise the movement of more than 3,000 migrants as part of a £12 million illegal boat crossing operation has been jailed for 25 years.

        “3 Thousand illegals”

        Yes, asylum seekers in the UK can bring their family members to join them, but the process and eligibility criteria depend on whether they have already been granted refugee status or are still awaiting a decision on their asylum claim.
        If an asylum seeker has already been granted refugee status or humanitarian protection, they can apply for family reunion to bring their immediate family members (spouse, civil partner, unmarried partner, and children under 18) to the UK. These family members must have been part of the family unit before the asylum seeker was forced to leave their country.

    The Jew hating Gary linaker is – possibly – under investigation by plod for his anti semitic social media . They won’t do it of course – he is approved – TTK – so they’ll say there s not enough evidence – and send him on his way… or does he get a 38 month TTK treatment running the prison football team ?

    While I would like Farage to take the lead in challenging the worst government since the beginning of time about this latest betrayal I understand he is letting TTK destroy himself.
    Napoleon said something about not interrupting your enemy when he is doing all the wrong things and this must be why Nigel is quiet.

    Lee Hurst made a good point on FB.
    If TTK is selling his house please let me know, I think I could get it for £10.
    He might offer me more than £10 to take it but I wouldn’t want to take advantage.

    Tommy Robinson will be freed from prison within the week because he removed ‘Silenced’ from platforms he controls, a concession that some social media users have decried as a blow to free speech. However an unedited version of the banned documentary ‘Silenced’ with a bonus 10 minutes can be watched on rumble for free, see this 104 minute version: https://rumble.com/embed/v2ntg1u/

      ITV local news page
      “Robinson set for early release after deleting libellous film
      The *far right* activist was jailed in October after admitting multiple breaches of a High Court injunction.”

      Well by using the smear label “far right” they lose all credibility

      they then do the dead naming attack as well
      Tommy Robinson is due to be released from prison within days after he agreed to remove a libellous film from social media.
      The far right activis, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, had previously failed to have his 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court reduced after refusing to “purge” accounts of the video.
      The film, called Silenced, contained false allegations against Huddersfield schoolboy Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian migrant who successfully sued Robinson for libel.
      It had been pinned to the top of Robinson’s account on X, in breach of an injunction banning him from repeating the claims.

    Lies against Israel were persistent . See this from 22years ago.and typical response from BBC. Hardly surprising that many disliked the Jewish State.

    First complaint Re Radio 4’s :Broadcasting House 28th April 2003
    There were to be several complaints about this 9.30 am programme that broadcast into hundreds of “middle “English homes while they were having their leisurely breakfasts on a Sunday morning .The programme frequently brought up items about Israel even when Israel wasn’t in the news. These stories seemed to be put together with the sole purpose of bashing Israel. It was to get much worse with graphic emotional stories told against Israel by Palestinians ( see the next blog) .

    This complaint was addressed to the controller of Radio 4.on 28th April. In this instance,the programme used the year anniversary of the incident to repeat the long refuted lies about the siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Apparently Israeli authorities had refused to be interviewed – Michael argued” why were other Israeli’s not found to create a balance that the BBC claims to provide? Palestinian Arabs were allowed to espouse their fictitious stories unchallenged. The programme ignored the fact that Palestinian terrorists stormed the church to evade capture after committing murder, held worshippers and priests hostage, smashed windows to fire at Israelis, used sacred area of the church as a toilet and burned church property and holy relics”..

    Reply 8th July -Apologises for delay- ( there were always excuses ) in this case, because it was forwarded to Editor of programme and he had only just received it. He just repeated that the Israeli PM ‘s office and other Israeli officials were asked to comment but would not .”Keen to provide a mix of views so carried a statement from the PM’s office” So that’s a great mix of views! (my bold and sarcasm) (Ignored Michael’s point then why not ask other Israeli’s – opportunities to do so in a democratic state like Israel)

    The reply continues “it may interest you to know” Why? – what has that got to do with this complaint -that the World of One (the sister programme) interviewed one of the Palestinians involved in the siege month before this programme and it was a robust interview in which we put Israeli claims ( about the Palestinians being terrorists ) to the interviewee.

    This reply made no real attempt to answer the complaint- instead talked of another programme – that was apparently not biased against Israel- a programme that was on a different day and at a different time which the listeners were unlikely to have heard and even if they had heard this programme a few months ago, this had nothing to do with the bias of the programme that was being complained about..

    This response to a complaint is a straight forward standard example of how the BBC responded to complaints . Firstly by delaying the response so you would be less likely to appeal, secondly by not addressing the serious examples of bias detailed in the complaint and thirdly citing other programmes that they considered were not biased towards Israel. Their motto was to be that over time a balanced picture of the conflict was given – if Only!.
