Another bad day for the BBC – Trump brokering a Middle East cease fire – a terrorist group it might favour ‘Palestine action ‘ being outlawed – and the prospect of legacy media having to ‘consolidate ‘ to survive.

A non BBC story yet . If you use YouTube you might get fed ‘Brendan kavanagh ‘ . Mr kavanagh entertains people near the Eurostar at Kings X on the piano . ..
Well today mr kavanagh put up a video saying he and his wife have been arrested by 6 plod for ‘harassment ‘ – at his home address – in front of his 3 young children .
It seems -as a Catholic – he found a priest who conducted the Latin mass in his home . But he felt the priest was ‘dodgy ‘ and checked him out . Turns out the priest had been defrocked for paedophilia in Martinique .
Emails were exchanged – leading to a harassment allegation by the alleged paedo ex priest and today an arrest ….
The TTK system is alive and well . Im guessing the msm might pick this up because mr kavanagh has a big big international following on YouTube ….
Yes last night Brendan tweeted the short version

“Six police officers turned up at our house to arrest both myself and my wife in front of our three terrified children for a ‘non hate’ social media crime.
After a two month police investigation, all charges against us were dropped due to ‘lack of evidence.’ I’ve posted the full video and the context of the arrest

Was the priest black perhaps ? No seems not

“There is serious public concern about the proportionality of sentencing in cases involving opinion-based online speech. We believe imprisoning individuals for posts on social media sets a dangerous precedent and raises wider questions about freedom of expression, proportionality in sentencing, and the misuse of limited prison resources. We consider that alternative sanctions, such as fines or community service, would be more appropriate.”

For context, a 19 year girl who bought 12 eggs and gave them to Southport protestors got ’16 months in a young offenders institute, suspended for 18 months, 150 hours of unpaid work, attend 10 rehabilitation activity requirement days and pay £150 in costs’
Our government described buying these eggs as:
‘She approaches a group of boys and hands them the eggs, which were used as missiles and launched towards police officers stood at the entrance gate. This is a classic case of aiding and abetting – delivering the ammunition into their hands.”‘

The Daily Mail did not allow comments.
The BBC didn’t report this story. I suspect it crossed the line and showed how extreme the political persecution became.
Also for even more context, the girl who actually threw a milkshake over Farage – a terrorist act IMHO, especially after Jo Brand encouraged them to throw battery acid and a MUCH more serious offence than buying 12 eggs – got a 13-week jail sentence, suspended for 12 months, must pay the MP £150 compensation, complete 120 hours of unpaid work.
Welcome to Starmers fascist Britain. Anyone who gets noticed for not following his far-Left narrative is now ruthlessly suppressed. The National Socialist extremists (Nazis) are back.
Hello StewGreen
When I worked in IT for the NHS, it was hushed up GPs computers having that sort of thing on the hard drives. But you’ve not heard that from me 🙂
me not an unalloyed “Brillo” fan – but spot on there….
It is a recurring theme … how many of any politician has had a real job outside the public sector – including all that charity NGO crap …same with the civil service – HS2 coming to mind for sheer waste and incompetence / corruption ….
Now we know what we already suspected: Labour’s ‘fully costed’ plans were full of holes
A new book on the 2017 election reveals Labour’s leaders were ‘worried’ their figures didn’t add up and could be torn to shreds by Conservatives and the media
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/jeremy-corbyn-labour-2017-election-campaign-nhs-spending-plans-a8555621.html
A book to be published tomorrow reveals the existence of an internal email before the launch of Labour’s manifesto that “highlighted some of the problems with Labour’s cost estimates, including the lack of detail on capital spending, as well as some individual costings that were implausible or entirely absent”.
Alison Pearson writing from the heart about a British political prisoner / hostage – enjoy
STARTS It comes to something when a senior British politician has to visit a person in prison, not only to show his support but to try to protect her against further harm. Yet that is exactly what happened when Richard Tice, deputy leader of Reform UK, met Lucy Connolly at HMP Peterborough on Tuesday morning. I had informed Tice that, last Thursday, Lucy says she was manhandled by up to six prison officers to a wing which houses the most volatile and dangerous prisoners.
“Five days after the incident, the bruises from the handcuffs on Lucy’s wrists are still significant – yellow. It was obviously horrible what she went through,” Tice told me just after he emerged from the jail. “On Thursday, she was mistreated without provocation. Full force was used with no justification. She was starved of food, with no lunch or dinner, after the incident. She was denied enhanced accommodation to which she was entitled and they gave her, frankly, the Nutters Wild Wing – full of druggies and violent offenders.”
Previously, Tice has been outspoken on the case of the Northampton childminder jailed for an exorbitant 31 months after posting one horrible tweet on the evening of the Southport massacre of little girls. Demonised as “Tory councillor’s racist wife”, Connolly became Sir Keir Starmer’s “political prisoner”, insisted Tice. She was made an example of to deter others from speaking out on illegal migration, and to distract from the Government’s own failure to provide information that they held about mass murderer Axel Rudakubana which experts say could have prevented the riots that Lucy Connolly was accused of inciting. Tice’s hour-long meeting in jail with a “calm, thoughtful, impressive”, although clearly shaken Lucy, confirmed his suspicions.
“Lucy was gobsmacked by the way they treated her,” Tice reported. “You have to think it’s politically motivated. I think the next few weeks before her release are going to be very challenging. I think it would suit the authorities to provoke a violent reaction from Lucy. I told her to be very careful.”
When I started writing about Lucy Connolly’s case it was hard to imagine it getting any darker – well, it just did. Here we have a political leader, likely to play a senior role in this country’s next government, insinuating that the state – via prison officials – might try to silence and compromise a woman whom many think should never have been sent to jail in the first place.
Let’s take a look at the context, shall we? Early last week, Connolly moved from HMP Drake Hall in Staffordshire, returning to Peterborough prison (where she was first held on remand from August 12). She wanted to be nearer to her husband Ray, their 12-year-old daughter Holly, other family members and friends, so they could visit her more often. Lucy was placed on the induction unit until a space became available on the enhanced wing (as a prisoner of good character, she is entitled to better accommodation and some privileges including, believe it or not, a highly desirable TV remote control).
Lucy was led to believe that a room would be free on Tuesday, and she was glad to spot her name on a board next to H1/E1. That was rubbed out last Wednesday, but Lucy didn’t have any cause for concern until, that is, an officer told her they were putting her on A1; a wing that is known, and not affectionately, as The Bronx because it’s full of druggies, “spiceheads”, and is the scene of frequent fights.
“But why?” Lucy asked. “I’m not going there. Sorry, I won’t go.” (Her suspicion deepened when she was told the previous tenant of the cell they had earmarked for her was a woman who had died just a couple of days before.)
Shortly after, according to Lucy, she was on her way back from the gym when a group of officers – five or six of them – sprang out of nowhere and accosted her. “You are no better than anyone else here, you’re going to A1, Lucy,” one said. Lucy was petrified. She started crying, lent back against a wall and slid to the ground. Officers used restraining methods on her that are supposed to be reserved for violent or abusive prisoners not polite, co-operative childminders. They bent her over forwards with her arms bent sharply back. Her hands were tightly handcuffed. “I was in excruciating pain,” Lucy told Ray on the phone later. “I thought, ‘What the hell are they going to do to me?’”
She was manhandled up three flights of stairs with officers wearing body cameras shouting at her all the way. She was dumped in a filthy cell with what looked like excrement on the walls (an officer insisted it was coffee). While Lucy lay on the floor sobbing, some of the wing’s veterans began to rally to her aid, approaching her door and calling out, “Lucy, we know who you are, don’t worry, you’ll be fine here.”
“Lucy, don’t let the bastards get to you.”
One “Bronx” toughie arrived with a radio for Lucy, and yelled at an officer to open the door and give it to her. He did so without demur.
A shattered Connolly was told that she was on 23-hour lockdown. That means being confined to her boiling-hot, stultifying, curtain-less cell for 23 hours a day. “You’ve got 15 minutes’ exercise,” an officer said. “I’ve got an hour,” Lucy replied, asking to see a copy of the prison rules.
“Why the f— have they put you here on this wing, Lucy?” her neighbour in the next cell demanded. “We’re the ones they can’t do nothing with.”
The 42-year-old was given 14 days on Basics – no TV, no privileges. She can’t even go down to the canteen to have her meals – food is brought to her cell. “You got 14 days on Basics, Lucy, that’s insane”, one of the Bronx girls marvelled. Funny how the asylum inmates are saner than the warders, isn’t it?
Later that traumatic day, when Ray spoke to Lucy, she was sobbing uncontrollably. He did his best to calm her down. Ray, whose immune system is compromised by bone marrow failure, told me he hasn’t been able to cry since the Connollys lost their toddler son Harry in 2011 as a result of gross medical negligence. As he tried to soothe his frightened wife, Ray put a hand up to his eye and was surprised to feel tears.
If Ray thought Lucy was exaggerating the physical aggression officers used on her, when he visited on Sunday he was shocked by the livid bruises – circles of yellow, black and blue – around her wrists. The handcuffs were on so tight they had a struggle to get them off.
As Lucy’s quietly adoring husband, he feels immense frustration and a sense of profound helplessness. “It’s so unfair, Allison, why are they doing this to her?”
A very good question, Raymond. Except Lord Hermer, the Attorney General, approved the prosecution of Lucy, who should have got bail and then community service for a first-time offence committed online and swiftly deleted. Lord Hermer, bear in mind, was not minded to seek to increase lenient sentences given to sex offenders. Because Northampton housewives who collect Emma Bridgewater china, pose more of a threat to the public, obviously.
Why was a woman of previously exemplary character, well-liked by many prison officers and prisoners whom she has helped and befriended, treated by HMP Peterborough as if she was a knife-wielding maniac? Meanwhile Rudakubana, who slaughtered three little girls, is allowed access to a kettle and boiling water he can allegedly throw over prison officers; no kettle for naughty Lucy Connolly.
Lucy was told that the managers were “in a bad mood” that day because a girl had died, and there would have to be an investigation. The real explanation may be far more sinister, I think.
Richard Tice is surely right. With just two months till her release date on August 21 (Lucy will have served 40 per cent of her sentence), it feels like the authorities want to provoke a violent reaction from their infamous inmate, as if to vindicate their cruel treatment of her. Or maybe to give them a reason to justify draconian conditions attached to her being freed? They need Lucy Connolly to stay demonised, to be the “far-Right” thug Starmer imprinted on the public imagination, the Myra Hindley of Twitter – how else are they going to explain the fact that Lucy has been denied the basic human rights afforded to every heinous and scary jailbird?
Since November, Lucy has been entitled to apply for temporary leave on licence with Holly who is struggling without her mummy, and has been suspended several times from school where she vents her distress. (Ray, bless him, is struggling with a daughter going through puberty who becomes a teenager in a few weeks.) Despite repeated requests, and well-argued letters to the governor, Lucy has not been granted ROTL (Release on Temporary Licence) or home detention curfew wearing a tag. How can a woman of previously impeccable character, a childminder with glowing references from several immigrant parents who committed one “hate crime”, be denied those elements of rehabilitation normally considered so essential in a civilised society?
Many within the system are uncomfortably aware that Lucy is being shockingly mistreated. According to Ray, one woman prison officer expressed distress about what was done to her on Thursday. Lucy’s probation officer said he was under the impression that, by now, Lucy and another woman scheduled for release, had been signed off as “Open” – living in a house on their own, getting ROTL to aid reintegration with their families, even allowed to have a small job in a caff or a charity shop. Again, according to Ray, the probation officer said he was concerned to discover that the Offender Management Unit at Peterborough had “knocked that plan on the head”. The reason given for forbidding Lucy a chance to enjoy the normal conditions leading up to release was “media interest”.
Ian Acheson, the prisons expert, told me on a previous occasion that a prisoner’s notoriety should not have any impact on their right to temporary leave, or rehabilitation. But it’s not Lucy that justice officials are trying to protect from “media interest”, is it? Lucy is perfectly capable of eloquently telling her story to the press and the public, and that’s what they are afraid of. “I think they would keep me in here for a hundred years if they could, Allison,” Lucy said to me, half joking, half despairing. My fears for her grow by the hour.
Huge thanks, then, are owed to Richard Tice for using his political power to protect Starmer’s political prisoner. Tice says he talked to HMP Peterborough’s head of security who had met Lucy earlier. “He reassured me that he would fully review the footage of Thursday’s incident, and Lucy’s complaint, and deal with it properly.”
Tice adds: “If they have ‘lost’ the bodycam footage, or any of that funny business, then I will escalate the complaint and meet the governor.”
Earlier today, Lucy told Ray on the phone that she had been refused the enhanced wing because she had failed security checks.
Truly, we are living through what George Orwell wrote. Lie after obfuscation after lie so the rotten system protects itself at any cost. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.”
“Lucy has had a two-tier prison experience – why has she not had ROTL when so many others have?” Ray Connolly says. “I don’t know who is pulling the strings, but something funny is going on in the way my wife is treated by the prison service.
“I am horrified by some of the things Lucy has told me. It’s strange, because Lucy just likes to get along with everyone and mother the young ones. As a family we are so thankful to Richard Tice for going to check on her safety – I feel reassured that someone like him is looking out for her.”
What an indictment of Starmer’s Stasi Britain. Normal people like the Connollys have to rely on principled public officials to take a stand and protect them against an increasingly authoritarian state, which turns a blind eye to frankly racist Pakistani rape gangs (to protect its voter base); who got away with destroying the lives of tens of thousands of white girls, while harshly punishing a basically decent white woman who, in her sorrow and her rage, lashed out in a “racist” tweet.
Tomorrow, an indefatigable Richard Tice will present “Lucy’s Bill” to Parliament – a “backstop” against harsh sentences which would allow members of the public to mount appeals against punishment they feel is too severe. It would permit a second opinion in cases where “judges get it wrong” and prevent people like Lucy being sent to jail. The House of Cowards and Clowns will reject it, of course they will, but they are on borrowed time. The British people have had enough.
And Lucy Connolly knows it. “My case is about so much more than me,” she says. Yes, it is. Keep calm, Lucy, don’t let them provoke you. Keep reading your book in the Bronx and don’t give them the satisfaction of seeing you wound up. You’re so nearly home. Nearly home.
Finally, a message for governor Mark Bennett and the staff of Peterborough prison: you really wouldn’t want any further harm to come to Lucy Connolly between now and her release, trust me. We see you.ENDS

In their response, the BBC put ‘BBC Verify’ on it to ‘prove’ that they didn’t take the story down at all.
What they did was remove all references on the news pages and bury it in ‘regions’ so unless you specifically looked for it, it was effectively taken down.
The BBC simply cannot stop lying now. They think that if ‘technically’ what they say is true then it’s not a lie. Fact checkers don’t concern themselves with the greatest lie of all : the lie by omission. The one the BBC use ALL the time.
Verify only exists to confirm to public sector types, that their taxes are being spent ‘wisely’ and ‘properly’, and that every effort to continue to ‘prove’ something will help the civil serpent sort to feel good about how they ‘administer’ the private sector’s taxes so well.
Just a headline will do, although those WFH ‘publics’ will read the whole lot of rubbish and believe it, because they have all the time in the world to waste.
Normal wealth creators, and contributors to society can’t be arsed to even look at the ridiculous stuff spewed out – they’re far too busy!

They do it all the time and their bombbers test our air defences all the time. The BBC only make it news when it fits their agenda. In this case I presume it’s to nuture support for Zelensky and Ukraine at the NATO jolly so we don’t question them escalating the war again as they get more and more desperate.
It’s actually the opposite of their favourite ‘lie by omission’. It’s reporting something which is commonplace and not news at all as if it’s something new we should be worried about.
Maybe I will call it ‘The lie by false alarm’.

Faith, healing and performance-related pay edition
This morning we have our tabloid press serving up one of those awkward little juxtapositions of embarrassingly clashing features that delivers the lie to some prevailing media narrative.
Whilst the Express goes with: Pressure on government to act after we expose asylum hotel illegal workers – and shouts: ‘Get a grip on migrant delivery rider farce!’ – quoting “the Tories” who when in office couldn’t seem to get a grip on anything immigration related.
Meanwhile, the Labour-supporting Mirror sells their frontpage masthead adjacent prime ad spot to… you guessed it: Just Eat… Win £1k credit! See page 24… Terms and conditions apply. Online entry
Other app-to-doorstep delivery companies, profiting by employing illegal immigrants as our authorities turn a blind eye, are available.
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, anyone?
Channel migrants working as delivery drivers within hours of arriving – report… The Sun said Deliveroo and Just Eat delivery accounts were being offered to migrants through dedicated social media groups… “within 10 minutes of asking”… investigators and undercover reporters had found that migrants staying in asylum hotels across the country were joining dozens of social media groups dedicated to offering food delivery accounts for rent… migrants were paying as little as £40 a week for login details… worked 15-hour shifts using their hotels as a base for their bikes, bags and uniforms and could make hundreds of pounds a week with guarantees from account dealers that they would not be caught. (Evening Standard)
In February to April 2025 there were 625,000 young people aged 16 to 24 who were unemployed, 42,000 more than the previous year. The unemployment rate for young people was 14.3%, up from 13.6% from the year before (House of Commons Library)
What’s wrong with British kids, why don’t they seem to be motivated to get on their bikes and earn a few quid?
The latest teachers’ pay awards for England and Wales… Reps should focus on these four key asks during pay implementation discussion with their school: The implementation of the 4% pay increase to all pay points and allowances, with confirmation of the pay increase early enough to ensure that it is paid in September and not delayed; Removal of performance-related pay (PRP) if this hasn’t happened already; etc; etc… (National Education Union)
This next one is a bit of a stretch in terms of full bona fide Mr AsI approved ironic little juxtaposition of news features – but on the basis that the coincidence happens on the frontpage of the same print title – and because it’s BBC star performer related – let’s go with this matched pair anyway.

I’m sure they appreciate our so called border force helping them get here.

NHS 3 for 1 deal – save the planet, save the pension pot, save the NHS. Assisted dying home kit – one tablet and you can help make the world a better place.
The direction this country is going, I’d seriously consider it.
AH! See how they do it – it’s not us it’s you who are the problem … you will be replaced with a new jolly person who loves labour …..

“Detectives from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) have arrested two men in connection with an alleged sexual assault involving a 13-year-old girl in Ballymena.
The serious incident is reported to have taken place on the evening of Saturday 24th May 2025, during daylight hours, in the Ballykeel area of the town. The young age of the victim and the reported location of the assault, close to residential areas, have sparked deep concern within the local community.
It is understood that the two suspects, both men in their 30s, were arrested yesterday afternoon, Monday 23rd June. Witnesses reported a visible police presence in the area, with officers, including forensic teams, attending a residential property as part of the investigation.
A spokesperson for the PSNI confirmed the arrests in a statement issued on Tuesday 24th June:
“Detectives investigating the report of a sexual assault of a teenage girl in the Ballykeel area on Saturday, May 24th, have arrested two men aged in their 30s.”
From a local, legitimate, seemingly ‘state-approved’ on-line news service. An alleged sexual assault that happened about two weeks before the attack that sparked the civil unrest across Northern Ireland.
What I will assume was this attack was reported on the same site a week after it allegedly happened.
“The male suspect is described as having dark-coloured skin, dark brown eyes, and speaking in a foreign language. He was reportedly dressed in a black tracksuit, possibly wearing Nike trainers, and had his face partially covered.”
Nothing, as far as I aware, about any of this on the lousy bbbc.
Maybe help explain why tensions in Ballymena are so high, why Unionist areas of NI are so full of ‘racist bigots’, identify what the real issues are?
No, that would actually be journalism wouldn’t it, no chance of that on ‘our’ BBC.
Good point, Rich…
Just checking, it seems that their ‘live reporting’ in Ballymena ended on 11th June, after the disturbances.
Funny how all their other ‘live reporting’ on nasty rape cases such as this is rejected, but they bend over backwards to report with tiresome regularity, every few minutes, when President Trump actually does something positive, so that they can denigrate it and try and destroy the arguments for peace etc.
Biased? Wot, the BBC?
We often accuse politicians of not believing in anything , of lacking conviction and only doing what they think will win them votes.
But I am coming round to the view that the LibLabCon coalition does such crazy things and has such dumb policies because they really do believe in them!
How else can you explain why they are persisting with policies such as mass immigration and Net Zero when it is clear that the voters are rejecting them?
They know that these policies are going to cost votes and that Reform will Hoover them all up but by and large they persist in them.
Double – money buys votes ….and the Marxists will believe anything to destroy Britain …
Surrounded by people willing to egg them on and keep their jobs.
TTK has published a list of stuff on the Defence spend

The F35s will be based in the US and operated by US pilots ….so that’s ok then
The above may amount to ‘disinformation ‘ but in these times .. it may be true …
Britainistan will be the first Islamic European state with nuclear weapons – yippee ..
TOADY Watch #1 – much denigration of President Trump’s claims about the stealth bomber raid …
….. President Trump made the claim the stealth bomber raid to drop bunker busting bomb as being a total success. BBC News disagrees – there is a surprise! BBC News claims the Iranian attempts to build a nuclear bomb have not been set back forever, as the President claims, but only about three months.
Fed, it is 12 F35s and they will be flown by RAF pilots but will not be able to land on one of our Navy’s aircraft carriers as they lack the capability to land and take off. There is a distinct lack of clarity in the BBC’s coverage, and the MSM generally, at the size of the bill for the 12 F35s and the bombs that will land on the desk of Rachel from accounts at No.11 Downing Street.
Please note: This post was in reply to Fedup2’s post @8.41 a.m. about the F35 jets but the peculiar site software has placed it here.
Up2 – im flippant about ‘uk defence ‘ because the country is being destroyed every day that the invasion is taking place .
I could care less whether TTK buys 1 or a 100 nice jets or who flies them . All I know is that people like me will be forced to pay for those toys through compulsory taxes .
Rachel will use ‘defence ‘ as the excuse to tax us even more … im glad I spend more time outside britainistan than in the third world dump
Fed, agree about ‘the invasion’, taxes and Labour. The Socialists always run out of other peoples’ money. 🙁

Fed, UPDATE, the cost is reckoned to be about a £ billion (700,000,000), maybe the bombs are extra?
The US is only going to lend them, we’ll still be paying rent in a hundred year’s time…
This is a business man we’re talking with, not a labour cabinet member who doesn’t understand a deal, as they’ve never been in that position before.
And the answer is clear.

The big question of the day is why BBCPolitics keeps inviting Ellie Clowns on, surely she is more suited to Live at the Apollo
She screwed up her county and has now moved to a higher calling.
And the BBC has added her to their favoured list.
“On the five-year anniversary of Brexit, I argue it’s time to stop pretending Brexit has worked, and start building the case— boldly, confidently, and unapologetically—for returning to Europe.

She is a mumsy, rosy cheeked activist nut job.
Inveigled her way onto the council executive and instituted possibly the mostly grotesquely rigged citizens climate assembly possible, and when the rigging failed ignored the members who had sussed her plans. Instituted them but bailed to Westminster when her protest vote party was exposed.
No wonder the BBC see her as the next Cazza.
They STILL don’t get it, do they?
Brexit was never about the economy. It was about patriotism, self-determination, and democracy.
Brexit has not been fully implemented.

Yes and yes, Taff!

The BBC reports that ‘More people buying electric cars and heat pumps than ever before’ (translation: foreign car manufacturers and the supplier of heat pumps – the people who actually receive the much vaunted subsidies – are making a packet).

In other news from the Politburo: Belarus reports record tractor production; Kazan braced for bumper wheat harvest; Soviet armed forces welcomed on fraternal visit to Cuba.
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose, as they in the land of the rubber dinghies and sleeping policemen.
Any actual data on this?
“More people are buying electric cars and installing heat pumps than ever before, but those numbers need to increase even further, according to the government’s climate advisers.”
BBC Vilified to check
Ellie’s chums brought in to ‘brief’ the climate assembly members on the options to splurge council money upon were EVs in every drive, chargers on every wall, and every house a Passiv Haus. Or else.

Why call yourself ‘green’? It’s deeply misleading.

Hot news from the BBC.
Donald Trump has announced that grass is green.
The BBC reporters have been scouring rain-free areas of England and have discovered some grass is now brown, according to an un-named White House official.
This important breakthrough in knowledge warrants headline news with an expose of the White House inner circle and a Panorama programme and special reports.
I’ve just made the above up of course. But in the depths of the large anti-Trump department at the BBC, who knows what next is on their agenda?

Perhaps there should be a law making it illegal for a news media organisation to intentionally mislead or obfuscate with regards to British nationality.
Problem is, which political party would enact such legislation? Here’s Nigel Farage’s recent definition of a Welsh person, and it’s not exactly encouraging:
“It has to be someone who has lived and is settled in Wales, paid taxes and obeyed the law, If they’ve done that for five or ten year period then I think they’ve every right to say they’re part of the Welsh language community.”

The glories of going green when you rip up food producing farmland and insert huge industrial tech……
“The UK government is indeed supporting the expansion of solar farms, but with a focus on balancing energy needs with the protection of high-quality farmland. While the government encourages using previously developed and non-agricultural land for solar projects, it acknowledges that some agricultural land may be necessary, particularly for larger-scale farms. The government’s approach includes providing grants for farmers to invest in rooftop solar and encouraging the development of solar farms on poorer quality agricultural land to minimize impact on food production. ”
Solar projects must fit in with food security
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/solar-projects-must-fit-in-with-food-security
The UK government doesn’t directly purchase land for solar panel farms. Instead, they support renewable energy projects, including solar, through various funding mechanisms and auctions. These mechanisms provide financial backing for developers to build and operate solar farms, with the land being acquired or leased by the developers themselves.
Hello Pug
The supermarkets are full, why do we need farms anyway – as some woke women once said
The BBC appalled that Trump would release a message that praises his Iran raid….however a leak suggesting US intelligence doubts the success of that raid is good ‘bad’ news…they love it.
Of course there are many in US Intelligence who do not want you to think Iran was developing a bomb…they have long tried to undermine such beliefs….despite all the facts and evidence pointing that way….as even the IAEA publishes material showing Iran was in breach of its obligations and was enriching uranium to a degree way, way beyond that necessary for civilian purposes.
There are some within US intelligence who side with Iran…which is why Obama handed over billions to Iran….all used to good purpose of course.
So no evidence Iran developing a bomb…but Trump missed the bomb-making material so all’s good….lol

Naz Shah MP new long thread about her famous retweet
In 2017, I shared a post by accident, a genuine mistake, deleted within minutes. Yet for 8 years, hate-fuelled lies and misinformation have been spread relentlessly, with no end in sight. (1)
Her tweet is double ratioed as people point out she doesn’t support Lucy Connolly apologising
Some replies get the same number of Likes or even double Naz’s
eg You didn’t get abuse because people “misunderstood” a tweet.
You got called out because you shared a post suggesting abused girls should shut up for the sake of diversity.
You called that a “mistake”. The public called it what it was disgusting.
And you don’t get to hide behind victimhood now.
QT’s are all against her
eg “You can retweet by accident
… you can like by accident
… you can’t do both… by accident… we see your hate filled lies…”
BTW when you click the retweet button.. you are asked to confirm .. so doubly difficult to do by accident
