    “No other form of bigotry would be tolerated so openly at a major UK event, let alone amplified to millions via public broadcast.”

    But that’s not strictly true, is it? The chap with the double-barrelled surname from the dangerous ‘hood of Ipswich also made a long tirade against the British people, with such eloquent lines as “I heard you want your country back, shut the f*** up”. And that particular form of bigotry, open racism against the indigenous, White majority people of these islands, is so acceptable to the legacy media that they don’t even bother to mention it. And in the case of the BBC, they actively promote it in pretty much every broadcast, every programme, every news report. Even down to their careful choice of characters to illustrate items and reports on their news(sic) website.

      Former Speaker John Bercow claimed £1,000 taxi fare
      Published 14 January 2020
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-51109296

      Former Commons Speaker John Bercow spent £1,000 on a taxi fare and £12,000 on leaving parties for staff in the run-up to his retirement.

      Mr Bercow, who stood down before the election, also spent £7,000 on a US visit in his final months in the job.

      His expenses were obtained via a Daily Mail, external Freedom of Information request.

      A Commons spokesman said the 260-mile round trip from London to Nottingham, in April, was made by taxi rather than train for security reasons.

    The fall of the British Empire started after the second war.

    Bit like the Roman empire did about 250 AD.

    It took Rome about 200 years to descend into chaos with immigrants sacking the place, the Army unable to keep the peace.

    I give us 30 or 40 years to get to that point.

    Milligram’s latest idea is to cover lakes in solar panels.

    Surely this will kill off a huge amount of plant/insect/fish and other aquatic life in the permanent dark below the panels as well as the electronic side effects going into the water.

      I thought you were joking Emmanuel…. “Miliband to cover Britain’s lakes in floating solar panels Energy Secretary plans to quadruple the use of the technology in Britain”
      https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/06/30/ed-miliband-britains-lakes-floating-solar-panels-roadmap/
      Mr Miliband is hoping to make it more difficult for locals to object to bodies of water being covered in the panels and to the erection of telegraph poles in rural areas.

      The plans are part of the Government’s new “solar roadmap”, under which an area more than three times the size of Birmingham will be covered in solar panels in the next five years.

      But on Monday he promised to “eradicate the abhorrent practice of modern slavery” and said that “Uyghur and other minorities” in China’s Xinjiang province would not be involved in the supply chain in Britain.

      The Government also formally dismissed the idea that solar panels are not “ethically sourced” as a “general misconception” about the technology.

    Comment on TCW today about the BBC:

    “I made my decision about the BBC nearly 20 years ago – once I had freed up more time to absorb the airwaves I could clearly see that the BBC was not prepared to adhere to its basic Charter obligation of impartiality which was a quid pro quo for the universal licence fee. So I stopped paying the licence fee. I have had a licence fee chaser call and when he confirmed that he did not have a warrant, I was able to point him in the direction of the nearby Magistrates Court and invited him to return with his warrant. Not been troubled since.”

    Alison Person (in today’s Telegraph) has a few choice words on BBC Sponsorship of the slightly infected BBC ‘Glastonbury’ experience…

    “..The BBC should stop spending a fortune on Glastonbury, a corporate jolly attended by between 400 and 900 staff with an estimated (although unconfirmed) £7 million handed over to the Eavis family.

    The hotels with buses and taxis laid on every morning, the on-site designer pods and dinky little vintage caravans bedecked in jaunty bunting, that rosary of the “Be Kind” brigade. The mountain of free food, the staff bars, the four-wheel-drive buggies that are on tap for the broadcasting elite

    A massive clique of bien-pensant backslapping, “they greet each other as if it’s their annual Club Med holiday, the entitlement is off the scale,” recalls one engineer who worked at Glasto but grew too nauseated to go back.

    Why do all those smug creatives feel they have a licence (the bill footed by our licence fee) to impose their embarrassing political views on the rest of us? Not just by signalling the correct way to vote and feel, but by actively insulting people in middle and older age who are the ones that continue to pay for the BBC.”

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/01/glastonbury-horror-show-tim-davie-bbc-bob-vylan-kneecap/

    Comment:
    I was wondering how much it costs the BBC!! And now we know that its costs north of £7 million and that is split between 300 – up to 900 staff and that excludes the BBC free Vegan soup kitchen. Luxury Yurt accommodation is provided and is included, and all the food you can vomit. (Free Weed is standard).

    Further down the article she mention a BBC Engineer who lifted the lid and resigned in protest at the vast expense of the BBC management at the ‘fest’ which really tells us all you need to know about the BBC. And Tim Davie has been there the entire time!!

    BBC apologies? There is talk of forcing Tom Davie to resign. He won’t of course. He is the Labour luvvies hero alongside Corbyn who was also there (again) this year on stage. The BBC loves a good stage.

    Not bbc

    But a piece from the DT about the Great Leader after his outstanding first year – my God – we might have another 4 …

    STARTS Every Prime Minister has a defining moment, a decision, crisis, triumph or more likely blunder that etches itself in the public mind and shapes their legacy. For Major, it was Black Wednesday. For May, the dead-in-the-water Chequers deal. For Sunak, the D-Day disappearance.
    Keir Starmer’s came on July 30, 2024, less than a month after he entered Number 10. As he placed his floral tribute among hundreds of others at a police cordon in Southport, hovering wordlessly for less than 20 seconds, he was heckled by members of the public, who shouted, “How many more children? Our kids are dead and you’re leaving already?”
    That excruciating scene crystallised in many minds the sense that Starmer was the wrong leader at the wrong time. He was the antithesis of Tony Blair after the death of Princess Diana; Starmer would not – could not – rise to the occasion. Try as he might, the words wouldn’t come.
    And they’ve never come since as successive problems unfolded, as they do for Prime Ministers in the twenty-first century. Donorgate, Rosie Duffield, the riots and Lucy Connolly, Sue Gray, the Budget, Louise Haigh, Tulip Siddiq, Israel, the Winter Fuel Allowance U-turn, the trans women U-turn, the “island of strangers” U-turn, the assisted dying absence… somehow the words never flow. Ill at ease, repetitious, robotic – and increasingly tetchy.
    Starmer’s Southport moment may not yet have seared into public minds in the same way, as say, Gordon Brown’s Bigotgate meltdown, but they are as telling of his premiership’s weaknesses.
    As we approach the anniversary of the general election, we can trace Starmer’s demise to that fateful moment in Lancashire. In the aftermath of July 4, his approval rating was +10. By mid-August, it was +3; by mid-September it had dropped to -26 and it hasn’t recovered.

    The country is now more divided, not less, than it was last summer. The Government’s own report on the unrest suggested another disturbance is likely. Already, violence has erupted on the streets of Ballymena in Northern Ireland, following the alleged sexual assault of a teenage girl by two 14-year old boys of Romanian descent.
    Where are the efforts to repair the fraying fabric of our society? Where are the attempts to counteract claims of skewed justice, which thanks to Bob Vylan’s pathetic stunt at Glastonbury are now reaching fever pitch? To restore trust in our institutions, which is at an all time low? To assuage public concern that democracy is being subverted, the needs of our citizens sidelined by the judicial blob?
    This week it was reported that the same immigration judge who ruled that an Albanian with 50 convictions can stay in the UK because his crimes were “not extreme” enough to warrant deportation was one of the barristers who fought the Tories’ Rwanda scheme in 2023. We don’t believe Starmer will confront this; we consider this superannuated lawyer and his Best Buddy The Lord Hermer to be part of the problem.
    How will Labour ease fears that more and more of our towns have a real element of menace to them at night, surely not helped by the decision of the last government to place unvetted men in local hotels? That many women feel less safe walking our streets? Their only solutions are displacement activity: bans on zombie knives, more social media censorship, ramping up the anti-”populist” rhetoric.
    If this is the picture for Starmer at the national level, one of plunging confidence and mounting betrayal, politically it’s even worse. The Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments Bill may have scraped through its Second Reading but the PM’s authority is shot. He cannot recover from all the indecision, the sense he is buffeted by events, a hostage – or sausage – to internal pressure rather than a politician who will drive policy through with conviction. His MPs – and indeed his chief of staff – seem to consider him a chump.
    So the pack is turning on him – with arguably the worst culprit ersatz Mancunian Andy Burnham, who has long been positioning himself for a (third) bid for the crown. MPs are queuing up to put the boot in. They’re fractious, disillusioned, and too many in number. They’re also largely nonentities, career politicians, union officials, charity and public sector workers with little to no grasp of how private enterprise works, just treating it as an endless source of wonga, to be slandered, bullied and coerced as the mood takes them.
    Yet they consider themselves latter-day Nye Bevans, sniffing fastidiously that they didn’t go into politics to cut benefits. They care little for the fact that the total cost for PIP alone is expected to reach £35 billion by the end of this decade, up from £16 billion by 2024-25. Someone else can pay, probably you and me. The total benefits bill, if you include the state pension, universal credit and other benefits, could hit £324 billion by 2030. How is sustaining this tower of cards noble?
    Keir Starmer’s instincts to cut benefits back was right, but he couldn’t stick to it. His tragedy, which will endure for the next four years unless the Westminster assassins put him out of his misery, is that even when he is right, he gets it wrong.ENDS – and I wish Labour would …

      Morning Fed!

      After reading the DT piece, I don’t know what is more depressing, the deluded twonk spewing gibberish, or the twit in the X clip above…

      Apart from that, have a nice day! I’m meeting an old school colleague for a beer, and we haven’t met since 1964…

      Remember those days, when the BBC was lauded for superb cricket commentary, the humour was delightful for British families to watch, and politics were kept in check by mostly decent MPs, who worked hard and tried to achieve results for their constituents. We didn’t have ridiculous titles like ‘hard-right’ or any ‘phobias’ as well…

        Good luck Scroblene .

        What I still don’t get is that Labour was out of power for what – 12 years ? So it might be reasonable to assume that they – that party – would have a plan for government .

        But it clearly hasn’t – it is totally reactive – unable to even start to deal with major problems like the invasion – the internal destruction of the British – white -way of life – over population – yet alone the culture of benefits dependency and no need for a job .

        But at least the coming economic crunch is getting nearer faster …. Billions will have to be cut from welfare and the NHS after the tax take reduces and state interest rates are unaffordable …

          You’ve hit the nail on the proverbial, Fed – they are just reactive!

          Spending other citizen’s taxes is all they know, as there is no one in the ‘cabinet’ who has ever had a job, (?), and have only got where they are in charities, quangos and local authorities. They haven’t ever had to make a decision on how to run a business, so all they do, is apply marxist principles and pretend they’re making everyone equal, which is clearly never going to work!
