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.

      Great spotting of the use of public money, Tomo.

      However, Australia isn’t the only lunatic bunch on matters like this. In Scotland, less than 1% of the population speak any Gaelic whatsoever, and many of those who claim to speak Gaelic, can’t read or write the language. However, I am pretty certain that virtually all of these people understand spoken and written English perfectly well.

      I mean, it’s not as if they have migrated to the UK from a non-English-speaking part of the world, and the rest of us are obliged to provide, free of charge, public information in four hundred and forty-three languages and dialects …. but that’s another issue for another day. (I hope I haven’t given the emergency services authorities in Scotland any ideas there.)

      But the Scottish Government, in its wisdom, declared that all emergency vehicles in the land had to have the service to which they belonged, prominently written in Gaelic on the vehicles. Hence ‘Ambaileans’ on ambulances, ‘Poileas’ on police vehicles, and so on.

      Note the made-up words – so now, the public are paying for a special paint job with words less that 1% of of the population can understand and who, in an emergency would have to think about what the hell these words painted on the vehicles meant, but who almost all can certainly can clearly read the original words in English.

      Hmm…. as if you would have to think long and hard, if you were driving, about what the vehicle was behind you, and needed more than the blue and white checked paint job on a white vehicle blaring its ‘blues and twos’, or happened to be a bluddy great red vehicle, also blaring out ‘blues and twos’ climbing up your tailpipe, to understand these were emergency vehicles.

      But, the public sector in Scotland is constantly bleating about being deprived of money by the scrooges south of the border……

      Talk about wasting money on useless virtue-sigalling crap ?

      And oh, by the way, woe betide you if you’re a visitor driving on the west coast of Scotland where the major directional signs also have Gaelic as well as English on them – just as you’re approaching even a simple junction…. Madness.

        Scotland is awash with public sector cash. They have oodles of money to spend on ever-increasing miles average speed cameras, preventing overtaking in the few available places for tens of brain-numbing miles.
        Not to mention brand new village halls in places with about four houses, primary schools with single-figure numbers of children, and GP surgeries built with expensive stonework facials, and English taxpayer-funded Calmac ferries hundreds of millions over budget. And then there’s the Barnett formula.
        Think on all that as you drive through the potholes to your local English GP surgery with rainwater stains in the waiting room.

      Paedophile Jailed for 24 Years After Horrific Child Sex Offences
      Former Surrey Pride Co-Founder Among Those Sentenced for Abusing Young Boy
      Two vile men have been locked up after being found guilty of a string of horrific child sex offences, including the rape of a young boy. Stephen Ireland, a 40-year-old from Addlestone and a cofounder of Surrey Pride, was sentenced to 24 years behind bars, with an additional six years on extended licence. David Sutton, 27, also from Addlestone, received a 4.5-year prison sentence.


      Guildford Crown Court heard how Ireland was found guilty of the rape of a child under 13, three counts of causing a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, and the sexual assault of a child under 13. His catalogue of disgusting depravity also included conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child, arranging a child sex offence, six counts of making indecent photographs of children, four counts of distributing indecent photographs of a child, possession of prohibited images of children, and possession of an extreme pornographic image.
      Sutton was convicted of three counts of making indecent photographs of children and one count of possession of an extreme pornographic image. Both individuals were also found guilty of voyeurism and perverting the course of justice.
      The court heard that Ireland had already pleaded guilty to possessing 274 prohibited images of children and an extreme pornographic image at the start of the trial. Sutton admitted to distributing a category A indecent photograph of a child, distributing three category B indecent photographs of a child, and possessing 64 prohibited images of children.
      The four-week trial followed an extensive investigation by Surrey Police’s Complex Abuse Unit. The probe began in April 2024 after the rape of a 12 year old boy was reported, leading to Ireland’s arrest. A search of his flat uncovered a hidden phone containing indecent images of children. Ireland and Sutton were both arrested on 11 June 2024 in connection with the distribution and possession of indecent images of children. Charges for 44 offences, later increased to 45, were authorised on 14 August 2024, spanning from August 2022 to July 2024.
      Temporary Detective Chief Superintendent Debbie White, Head of Surrey Police’s Public Protection Command, branded Stephen Ireland a “sexual predator who targeted a young boy and took advantage of his age and vulnerability for his own gratification.” She praised the victim’s bravery in coming forward and giving evidence, hoping the sentences would help them “start to rebuilding their lives “.ENDS

    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 think Trump doesn’t have compassion?”).

      Very interesting!

      With family in the US, we over here speculated that Bamalam was a better bet than Billery, and so it was proven in some sort of vote which was cast in gravel – or stone, but he got in!

      What we didn’t contemplate was that Billery would eventually take over and complete the destruction of the Republicans…

      Clearly President Trump was hit badly by the shenanigans, but he won much to the chagrin of Bamalam’s lot.

      It appears that President Trump is now using the same tactics in his second term, but in the open, not hidden, and his legacy will easily pass to Vance in a few years. Hopefully, some of the heads which are about to roll, will have long been banged up, leaving quite a few more heads to get clobbered when the next Presidential Candidate – and clear winner – has all the files ready to open on his desk!

          I have absolutely no sympathy for that woman. Her ‘family ‘ income is around £250,000 a year as her old man is at DEFRA, coining it at our farmers’ expense, she’s on a ministerial bung, plus expenses learned from the Lammy Book of Claiming Taxpayers’ Cash for idiot chats with his uninterested mates…

          She can sob all she likes, but there’s no compassion coming from the farming communities, the redundant private education staff, the hard-working sharp-end staff in the NHS, the pensioners who are seeing their life-blood being drained by her ineptitude, and the general dislike of a party which has lied all its way to the present-day disasters, and this is just the start!

          Four more years of this, and this dear country will be a barren ruin, and it’s all down to Pigster’s bone unpleasantness, and her bungling ineptitude, both founded on arrant lies and obfuscation. Cowards always turn on the taps when they’re caught with their knickers round their ankles, and these two are a perfect disaster to prove the case.

    BBC Complaints Director Takes Six-Month Sabbatical to Learn How to Promote ‘Climate Crisis’
    “The BBC Complaints Director Colin Tregear has enrolled on the green grooming course run as a six-month sabbatical by the Oxford Climate Journalism Network (OCJN). The course is funded by the Green Blob and aims to make the ‘climate crisis’ a central element in the journalism of the attendees. Tregear is said to have responsibility for climate complaints at the BBC. Quite why the British TV taxpayer should fund this activist boondoggle for a man who is supposed to independently consider matters that often involve disputed areas of science is not immediately clear. In the past, attendees have been asked to consider that fruit such as mangoes aren’t as tasty as a year ago due to climate change. A previous speaker is on record as speculating on the need for “fines and imprisonment” for those expressing scepticism about “well supported” science.”

    And sadly for the BBC, even ‘Climate’ Scientists – are revolting that they are not all being payed ‘enough’ to push a false narrative… and good news for the BBC, is that the UN wants to make its a HATE crime to state that the World is not ending tomorrow ““UN report seeks to outlaw climate scepticism, punish fossil fuel defenders” – In Just the News, Kevin Killough reveals how climate activists’ push to outlaw scepticism and silence critics is a desperate bid to shut down debate”.

    Don’t Panic! BBC will paper over the cracks! And they will get a new BBC TV tax increase to pay for informing us all of the ‘climate crisis’. Just ask for Colin Tregear in BBC Complaints. Answerphone messages only as he is on sabbatical for six months…. !

    Broken Britain:

    I just flew back from Bristol Airport to Lisbon. Thankfully I live in Portugal now.

    The escalator up to check-in was taped off and not working. (They only have 1 for 10 Million passengers a year). They have a lift, but long que of elderly waiting to use it. I took the stairs but so many elderly people were struggling with hand luggage.

    Departure lounge – packed. Long que for the ladies, thankfully being a man I breezed past into the Gents. 3 Urinals, 2 are taped off. Thankfully not many men needing to use.
    No soap in the dispensers.

    Got to the Gate, no air conditioning. The sun was streaming through the glass it was like an oven. Someone asked for the door to be opened, to be told they couldn’t because of security.

    45 Minutes later we boarded.

    SO glad to leave broken Britain behind.

    It appears to be taking a few days to get the jury sorted for these Manchester Airport policewoman attackers.

    You might think this is British justice at its best going for a completely unbiased jury.

    I’m a bit more skeptic.

    We know ‘our’ Judges are almost all lefties and go very easy on their favoured groups (unlike anybody from the right who gets hammered)
    I think we will end up with a jury seen to be unbiased in the same way as a question time audience is supposed to be unbiased.

    Those picked will appear to be upstanding, serious, good citizens. The type we see on all these protest marches that the police handlle very lightly. On the face of it, all neutral.

    But we know better. Hiding inside these people is a virtue signalling do gooder who will be very receptive to nudges indicating that these lads are very sorry and not really like that.

    I’d be surprised if they get anything worse than someone on the right got for a tweet ending with “For all I care”

    BBC Today programme this morning, recognising the dire straits into which our current Chancellor of the Exchequer has got herself (along with some substantial help from her boss, TTK) reporters have hit on a new way of insulating Ms Reeves.

    They declared, basically, that everyone should just leave Rachel from the checkout alone, because, if she is forced out of office by any means whatsoever, we will regret it immediately, because any alternative candidate from Labour would not be so ‘prudent’ as she is !

    There it is, folks, totally useless our Rachel may be, but she’s just the best option we’ve got in the whole of the Labour Party, so don’t stir the pot !

    Please don’t tell me that this is the state this current government is reduced to already – and there’s four more years to go….

    And thank you, BBC, for placing this blackmailing spin on the situation so readily.

      When the economy is bust – they run out of other peoples’ money – can’t borrow any more – what then ? What gets cut ? And by how much ?

      Might go research it …..

    A Portuguese footballer who played for Liverpool has been killed in a car crash. The Lamborghini he was in had a tyre blowout when overtaking. This rates a special ‘Live’ reporting stream on the BBC webshite.

    Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy expressed condolences in the House of Commons !!!!!!! FFS.

    Around 800,000 people die each year in the UK. Not to mention overseas. Can we expect each one to be name checked by government ministers in future?

    TWatO Watch #1- BBC believing Hamas instead of Israel

    A doctor was killed along with several members of his family when the Israelis bombed his home. Israel claims he was a member of Hamas. TWatO interviews an American doctor who had worked alongside the alleged Hamas doctor and presented a different picture to the one painted by the IDF. Typical BBC! What do we know about Gaza and the Palestinians? Hamas ‘appoints’ doctors.

    Up2 – the BBC seems to be unable to see the Palestinian ‘state ‘ as an Islamic terrorist state owned and operated by Hamas – but all those tunnels – the 7 October attacks proves this .
    And can a doctor be a Hamas terrorist ? Yes – we’ve seen NHS doctors become Islamic terrorists in the UK … so even more Gaza – and what better cover than using hospitals or schools to be terrorist centres ..
    But we know what Hamas BBC is …

    BBC webshite

    The BBC has told a small number of senior staff to step back from their day-to-day duties on music and live events, following the broadcast of Bob Vylan’s controversial Glastonbury set.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czjkmlj1348o

    Question. Will they be ‘stepping back’ from their salaries or getting the same pay for less work?

    You’ll note I am keeping with the grain of the BBC report. Outside of it, they should of course be ‘stepping back’ from their jobs. With no payoffs and dismissal for gross misconduct.

    Maybe in their newly found spare time they could then visit Lucy Connolly in prison.

      Be interesting to know if those senior staff, actually allowed the pre planned anti IDF hate speech to be broadcast on purpose.

      Am sure the police will find out when they carry out their investigation into the bbc’s actions.
      Better make sure those senior staff don’t step back to far, wouldn’t want them to miss being questioned under caution or anything.

    Greater Manchester Police are re-investigating some numbers of potential suspects relating to the Pakistani rape gang situation. Apparently, in the past, documents given to the Police on request by the Council were redacted making it impossible to properly investigate the allegations.
    Obviously the Council should be investigated as to why vital documents were redacted it wasn’t as if they were being disclosed. Also, why did the Police merely shelve their investigations when they could obtain Court orders if they really had to.

    While us lot on here have no problem with knowing we are Right Wing or even Far Right, a big fault with those on the Left/Far Left is they somehow believe they are bang in the middle.
    They don’t know how Left they are.

    To them, everybody not aligned with their views is Right Wing.
    They think the bbc is neutral and they even think question time has a balanced audience.

    They might admit to being Centre Left meaning a tiny bit left leaning but their whole perspective of the Left Right spectrum is seriously skewed.

    Recently I attended a funeral following the sudden death of one of my fellow choir members, only a few days after our last concert.
    Strangely this very sad death was not the first item on the BBC news.
    Today, the death of a Portuguese footballer is.

    I am struggling to understand why, unless it is the tokenistic woke virtue-signalling of a left wing broadcaster that has totally lost the concept of what is really important.
    Did he support the Palestinians in Gaza?

    Surely we should now have several days of mourning, a state funeral, and a design competition for a statue to be created. Is Huw Edwards available?

    Bus driver on drugs is jailed for killing girl, 9
    A bus driver who killed a nine-year-old girl riding her bike on the pavement having fallen asleep at the wheel with drugs in his system has been jailed for four years.
    Ada Bicakci died in hospital in August last year, two days after the collision in Bexleyheath, south-east London, which left her with “catastrophic injuries”.
    Martin Asolo-Ogugua, 23, was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday, having pleaded guilty in April to causing Ada’s death by dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs.
    Asolo-Ogugua, of Southwark, south-east London, failed a drug test at the scene, having taken cannabis the night before.

      There were labour shortages It was nothing to do with “doing jobs that the British people would not do” That is a myth put out by the same people who say “diversity built Britain” It was doing jobs that could not be filled by British people because there was not enough of them due to the massive casualties of the British working man in two world wars. This is the thanks they got for saving the country with thier lives.

      “More than one million British military personnel died during the First and Second World Wars, with the First World War alone accounting for 886,000 fatalities. Nearly 70,000 British civilians also lost their lives, the great majority during the Second World War.”
