Midweek 2nd July 2025

When did you last hear of a lefty cancelling their TV licence ( if they are stupid enough to have one ) because the BBC is too far to the “right “ ? ( no need to answer that one ) …

    Have to feel some sympathy for Rachel. The biggest failure is spineless Two Tier. Meanwhile Thick Ange lurks in the background. Kier should have kicked Rayner off to the back benches where she could do little damage. Made up a non-job for the fishwive.

    As a woman I have no sympathy for Rachel Reeves. 4,000 dead due to removing winter fuel allowance (well Labour’s figures), the farmers, small business owners, publicans and any other bosses employing staff (national insurance), people losing business relief, employers having to find the money to pay increased minimum wage (Labour proud of that but it hasn’t cost them anything), parents of children at private schools, the list going on and on. I am sure there have been lots of tears shed by people on the list. No, I don’t feel sorry for Rachel Reeves.

    This being the biased BBC website I note the BBC coverage bends over backwards to seek understanding for Rachel from Accounts’s tears. Personal matter, lots of stress, aftermath of PIP car crash vote, altercation with the Speaker. All valid excuses apparently. Let us be sympathetic.
    MPs are human too, opines the BBC.
    Yeah, right. I didn’t notice such care and discretion from them when the admittedly useless Tories were in office.
    Not so much TTK, more TTBBC.

        More seriously let the State just pay for the adaptions, with an upper price limit on the car (there should be no Mercedes or BMWs on Motorbility). Apparently, Motorbility is a private company owned by the Big Banks. I don’t know why but I guess the make a sizeable profit from dishing out free cars.

      I bought a 3 year old Mokka a few years ago. I learned it was an ex-mobility car and had very, very low mileage.

      What shocked me that it was the top of the range model, Every gadget, full leather etc etc. The very first thing I thought was why are people being given brand new, top of the range cars every three years at the taxpayers expense ?. Any model of that car would have been good enough.

        I’ve been lucky enough to get two of these cars, second-hand with 5,000 miles on the clock after two or three years. but I never realised that so much was also being paid by the tax-payer – perhaps I just had a great car salesman…

        The upgrades are usually around £1,000 of extra kit, but I have to admit, I hardly used all of it, and never some of it!

        My cars were VW Golfs, and the best one was a very basic entry-level model, and with few gismos, but, it had a great little engine! The trouble was, Senora O’Blene (and me for that matter), couldn’t get in and out easily…

    UK designated terrorist group running a country without allowing electons say:
    ‘Gaza hospital director killed in Israeli strike’

    Fully respectable, democratic country say:
    ‘key terrorist” from Hamas in the Gaza City area struck.

    Which one do the BBC use as the front-page headline?.

    The first one of course. And not only that, they pile on the empathy and sympathy for this man who was CERTAINLY running that hospital with a terrorist of Hamas as his boss.

    And once again they fabricate a ‘witness’ to strongly infer what the BBC cannot say because it is a deliberate lie:

    ‘”They came here thinking it was a safe area and they were killed… What did they do?” Maha Abu Rizq said.
    At the scene, surrounded by destruction and a jumble of personal items, one man held up a pack of nappies and asked: “Is this a weapon?”

    The real sleezebag part of this story is how the author keeps mentioning ‘children’ in the desperation to slur Israel. They use the word NINE times. First they infer they were killed with a deliberately misleading statement:

    ‘Meanwhile, at least five people were killed and others injured, including children’ is intended to make us think children were killed when they weren’t.

    We know 100% by now that they were hit because Hamas were fighting from within them. The most heinous of war crimes and where the REAL pressure should be applied to shame them on the world stage. And within this lengthy, emapthy laden article full of untraceable quotes – all in perfect English and conveying EXACTLY what Hamas would want them to say – how much space do the BBC use to inform us of this ?.

    ‘The IDF said Hamas “systematically violates international law while using civilian infrastructure for terrorist activity and the civilian population as human shields”.’

    That’s it.

    Now the extremely significant part of this article is that it is credited to this clone:

    1608341027269?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=sdssdFwXG81NjKxWLH7IhuUKvzFgLp89Vp1ZtnejvOA

    Which infers it has some kind of impartiality – but every word in it has come from a resident of Gaza. The people who generally support the terrorist attacks against Israel and are anything but impartial. They have all probably lost family and friends to this war with Hamas. They hate Israeal too. And if any of them criticise Hamas, that will be the end of them.

    About as biased as you can possibly get. And the BBC present everything they say as fact.

    Alex Belfield gave a very strong performance in his 80 min live YouTube show tonight
    apart from the first 8 mins which was him messing about in his weird way.
    Then he got into the nitty gritty of setting the record straight etc,
    https://youtu.be/uiz1zv5IHCE

    It totally contradicted the History Debunked video the other week
    which said that Belfield was on the rocks and wouldn’t be able to release his books talk about the police, prison etc.nor do his videos or live shows
    HB’s claims seemed a bit extreme to me, then he revealed he sourced all that from one of the anti-Belfield folks
    but in reality those guys stalk and troll Belfield and are not reliable
    Belfield did cancel some live shows but has been presenting some youtube videos which do criticise the police and prisons
    an the books are being sold
    Belfield explained where there was a few days where authorities suddenly raised him no-risk to terrorism category person and that caused his free speech to reduced to draconian. However his lawyers got all that overturned and his free speech is almost full except for items on the cases of his “4 stalking victims”

    Pound slumps and borrowing costs surge as the Chancellor melts down but the BBC hides this away on the business pages….and even there it’s not the top story.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2l99eegzpo

    How different to the BBC’s coverage of Tory years especially during Brexit and Truss’onomics when every little dip of the pound or rise in borrowing costs was economic armageddon.

    Instead we have syruppy love-ins for Reeves explaining away her tears…

    ‘The noble act of volunteering for elected office and then, for a lucky few, assuming the highest political office, comes rightly with scrutiny and difficult questions.
    But it is also true that politicians are human beings and events that are rightly private shape their mood too and there is often little scope for them to hide.
    Few of us spend as much time in the public gaze as our most prominent politicians, where sharp questions would have followed had Reeves not turned up, just as they have when she did.’

    Not a word about the actual economics….and barely a word in this report either currently headlining…this comment buried halfway down the page before rapidly passing on…despite it being ‘extraordinary’…not extraordinary enough to make it headline news eh?….

    ‘The extraordinary Commons scenes appeared to unsettle the financial markets, with the pound falling against major currencies and the cost of government borrowing rising. ‘

    Astounding, or not, how much leeway the BBC gives Labour as the ship of state flounders on the rocky realities that defy leftwing ideology.

      It’s an appalling situation we are all facing now – ‘crisis, what crisis’ for Reachall and Pigster, who are ‘in lockstep’, a euphemism for blaming each other till the fat one cries…

      You could almost hear the splash of the spit and bile that the far-left BBC were chucking relentlessly at every Tory politician for years, but now, it’s fluffy-bunny dross-time, which I suppose is their only way out now, as they’re just as commercially naïve as the dreadful civil-service-indoctrinated front bench…

    Back in the USSK – but thankfully not for long … every time I come back to Britain it seems – feels – more foreign…anyway

    Today watch

    The BBC strategy is to support Rachel from accounts by saying that voters will be more ‘sympathetic ‘ the blubbing of a chancellor in PMQs will make her more ‘human ‘.

    They are in group denial about what taxpayers think of the TTK regime . It started as hatred and went down from that . The saddest thing is having to suffer it for so long

    Our Justin interviewed a city economist who basically said the markets have now fully noticed the state of UK finances – and the plan to increase ‘productivity ‘ is just nonsense . Things – as we know – are getting worse and quick

    The bond markets marked the pound down – UK has to pay higher and higher rates to borrow money to feed benefits and the NHS . And sooner or later that crunch will come .

    The economist being interviewed for sees that either national insurance or income tax will have to go up – despite Marxist promises .

    I wonder if she – or whoever – will reduce the tax thresholds – fiddling the figures – as opposed to putting up the actual rates …tax tax tax … reds reds reds

    The BBC is fawning over the Dalai Lama these days – his birthday or something. (The BBC despises Christianity but all other religions are groovy, starting with Islam, the most violent and dangerous of all.)

    But amidst all the adulation, I wonder if the BBC will mention the Dalai Lama’s repeated assertions that migrants should be returned to their homelands, that Europe is for Europeans, that there are too many migrants in Europe, that Europe should never become a Muslim country or an African country, etc.

    For example in this infamous interview with the BBC where the Beeboid interviewer is desperately and repeatedly trying to show him he’s wrong and get him to change his mind. (And, as a bonus, she literally feeds him lines to slag off Trump… “and you don’t think Trump has compassion?”).
