Start the Week 7th July 2025

It’s the 20th anniversary of organised multiple terrorist attacks on people in London . But will the BBC explain who did it and why ? Will there be a Muslim to come forward and explain which bit the their Koran justified slaughtering 52 people and injuring 800 as well as those still living with that day. RIP

      So, Muslims are allowed to encircle a Cathedral. But non Muslims are not allowed to go to Mecca !
      Why aren’t the authorities moving them on like they would if an army of non Muslims turned up at Mecca ?

      LOL…..Google in denial…

      ‘There is no evidence or reporting to suggest that Muslims are currently surrounding or protesting near the cathedral.’

      Classic infiltration and ‘creep’ of Islamisation as they try to force it upon others using ‘rights’ and ‘fear’…

      ‘Why some Muslims in Melbourne’s CBD don’t feel safe praying in public

      “Prostrating on the ground in public places in the city, such as parks and sidewalks is not suitable because it can really draw attention to the form of a woman,” she said.

      She would love to see more multifaith rooms made available in public places in Melbourne’s CBD, including segregated spaces for women.

      “It would make me feel more safe and mostly it would make feel like I belong and that I’m respected … it would mean a lot,” she said.

      Ms Deveci’s dilemma is shared by many Muslims in Melbourne’s CBD, according to the Islamic Council Victoria’s Adel Salman.’

      ‘Multi-faith’ rooms will of course be purely Muslim due to intimidation of anyone else who dares enter…and why do Muslims think it is OK to pray in parks and in the streets? Should be banned outright and no accommodation made to appease them…no-one else gets such rights and privileges….such as surrounding a cathedral in a very intimidating ‘siege’….why was that allowed? They’d never allow it around a Mosque.

    It’s funny when all these actors keep coming out with their support, usually for the far left, when their very job is to convince people they are whichever person they are playing at that moment.
    If they come out with all the usual pro Gaza, save the planet stuff etc, how do we know it’s their thoughts or if they are acting a part with the normal population as their audience.

    In short, if somebody like Whoopsie Goldberg says “vote democrat”, is it her personal belief or is she acting.

    Same for musicians in a way, playing to what they think their audience wants. Are The Kneecaps pro Gaza or is that what they want their fans (who will vastly outnumber the youth on the Right Wing) to think.

    This is our country Bubba BBC….and there comes a time when you have to stand up for what is right….we’re taking it back.

    From Spiked…as 111 BBC journalists declare the BBC is too pro-Israel…

    ‘On what planet is the BBC pro-Israel?’

    ‘That when the BBC falsely reported that Israel had destroyed 80 per cent of al-Ahli hospital, killing over 1,000 people, when in fact Palestinian Islamic Jihad had misfired a missile that hit a car park, it’s because the BBC is pro-Israel.

    That when BBC News referred to Israeli hostages held by Hamas as ‘prisoners’, while calling Palestinian prisoners ‘hostages’, it’s because the BBC is pro-Israel.

    That when BBC Two commissioned and broadcast a documentary in which one of the narrators is the son of a Hamas official, and which featured multiple mistranslations, such as ‘jihad against the Jews’ changed to ‘fighting Israeli forces’, it’s because the BBC is pro-Israel.

    That when the BBC broadcast the modern blood libel and outright lie that 14,000 babies were about to starve in Gaza over the next 48 hours, it was because the BBC is pro-Israel.

    That when the BBC uncritically reported Hamas propaganda that Gazans had been shelled by Israeli forces while queuing for humanitarian aid, to the point that even the White House called it out, it was because the BBC is pro-Israel.

    That when the BBC livestreamed Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set, featuring thousands of people chanting to ‘Death, death to the IDF’, it was because the BBC is pro-Israel.’

    And of course he could have gone on and on and on.

    Let’s see the Balen Report….just what does the BBC have to hide?

      The impact of a terrorist attack is felt by individuals, their families, and their communities, and can cause profound physical and emotional harm to victims and survivors. The Home Office acknowledges that the approach of monetising the impact of terrorist attacks may seem insensitive, and while this research and analysis cannot capture the entirety of the harm caused, especially to victims and survivors, the approach allows us to better articulate the impacts on society in a clear and quantifiable manner.

      Two women tried to expose Jeffrey Epstein three decades ago. Why didn’t the FBI stop him?
      Maria Farmer contacted the FBI in 1996 after she and her little sister were molested by Epstein. While the recent unsealing of documents provided some clarity regarding the extent of his criminal enterprise, federal authorities have failed to answer why it took so long to prosecute the disgraced financier.

      https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/farmer-sisters-epstein-fbi-abuse-b2479602.html

      Because Annie wasn’t just a victim of Epstein — she was a whistleblower. After being molested as a teenager by Epstein and his associate, convicted child abuser Ghislaine Maxwell, her sister reported what they knew to the FBI. They expected a full-scale investigation. What they got was ten years of silence.

      “In case you missed it…

      This is Joseph Haythorne.

      He’s 26 years old—and now the latest Brit to be jailed for a social media post.

      In the wake of the Southport child murders and the resulting unrest, Haythorne took to X and wrote:

      “Go on Rotherham, burn any hotels with those scruffy b*****ds in it.”

      It was a grim post. But he deleted it in just 17 minutes and subsequently handed himself in to the police.

      Still, Judge Jeremy Richardson KC—yes, the same man who sentenced the now-deceased grandfather Peter Lynch—gave him 15 months behind bars last week.

      But here’s the thing…

      And this really speaks to the level of inconsistency in our courts…

      Unlike Lucy Connolly’s post, which arguably constituted pseudo-incitement, Joseph’s post constituted explicit incitement.

      There’s a big difference between saying you “don’t care” if violence happens and outright calling for it.

      And yet—Joseph received a sentence less than half of what Lucy did.

      Put differently: the courts have now punished overt incitement less harshly than perceived incitement.

      Progressive lawyers will likely argue Lucy’s post reached more people, which justifies the longer prison sentence. And that personal mitigating factors played a part.

      But Lucy had no control over that reach. It was the algorithm—and public attention.

      And if that’s the standard…

      We’re effectively imprisoning people for longer depending on how viral a post goes, even if what they said was less inciting…

      Judge Richardson also referenced Joseph’s clinical depression and his guilty plea when reducing his sentence.

      But Lucy had very similar mitigating circumstances—losing a child—which appeared to have much less of an influence.

      The whole thing reeks.”

      ………………………

      1765 …. **In a republic worthy of name, freedom to publish one ’s thoughts is a citizen’s natural right.** They may use a pen or their voice, and should not be prevented from writing any more than speaking …That is the law in England, a monarchical country, where people are freer than elsewhere because they are more enlightened. – Voltaire, Republican Ideas, 1765

The BBC, various institutions, politicians, schools, charities and of course blacktivists all push this narrative. Blood on their hands? Did they kill those girls?

    Alarm bells ringing

    Emergency alert to be sent to smartphones in UK test… The national system for sending emergency alerts to mobile phones in the UK will be tested again this September, the government has said. (Aleks Phillips & Liv McMahon BBC News & technology reporters – for some reason riding tandom on this Cabinet Office Press Release cut & paste report)

    Why this obsession with reaching all our phones?

    Though the system has been deployed regionally five times in the past few years, a previous nationwide test in 2023 revealed technical issues – with some people receiving the alert earlier than expected and some not receiving it at all.

    Could it be possible that there is some feedback detected from our phones and they want to see if it is feasible to track them all?

    The Cabinet Office said at the time that the problems uncovered would be reviewed and addressed ahead of another test.

    Why the Cabinet Office and not the Home Office?

    The UK’s 77th Brigade, an information operations unit within the British Army, has been associated with the Cabinet Office in relation to monitoring social media and countering disinformation non-governemnt approved information, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic LOCKDOWNS. While the brigade’s primary focus is on countering foreign adversaries and extremists, concerns have been raised about its monitoring of British citizens’ social media posts and the potential for overreach.

    In 2010 one of David Cameron’s innovations was to set up a Nudge Unit (to steer ‘nudge’ human behaviour in certain preferred directions) within the Cabinet Office known as the Behavioural Insights Team, and part-owned by the Cabinet Office. Owned!

    Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden said: “Just like the fire alarm in your house, it’s important we test the system so that we know it will work if we need it.”

    How are you going to know it worked and reached all our phones – unless my somewhat tin-hatty speculation might have something to it?

    McFadden said roughly 95% of the UK population is covered by 4G or 5G access, and the government is working “constantly” with telecom providers to improve it.

    Interesting, he seems very keen that we all have a smart phone, for some reason… digital ID, anyone?

    The alerts are intended for situations in which there is an imminent danger to life, such as extreme weather events or during a terror attack.

    I guarantee in the event of mass terror attacks or extreme weather events they will turn off the mobile network. System operators will be oblidged to give emergency services priority over ordinary callers in an effort to aid their response.

    Domestic abuse charities previously warned the system could endanger victims by potentially alerting an abuser to a hidden phone.

    Is this – the one and only objection raised by our BBC to the notion of compulsory government alert systems – serious, or in fact the plot of some female-friendly fictional drama?

    In a way, I feel I qualify as a victim of ‘Domestic abuse’ – at the hands of this Two-Tier regime.

      Asiseeit – when you hear slimy Patrick paddy McFadden coming out with crap parellells about smoke alarms you can tell who ever is running this surveillance exercise has been desperately trying to come up with a justification for it .

      It’s all part of control and state dependency – who’d trust any warning coming from the enemy TTK regime ?

      Btw please don’t mention the top secret 77 brigade because gchq software picks up any mention of it ( or gchq ) and you get put on a list. You’ll know I never reference 77 brigade – right 77 brigade ?

    The BBC’s curious priorities as it headlines this….

    ‘UK’s pension triple lock to cost three times more’

    It’s an important issue but surely the state of the general economy, due in large amount to Labour’s decisions, is more important…given it tells us whether we can pay those pensions….why is this secondary?….

    ‘Overall, the OBR said the UK’s public finances were in a “relatively vulnerable position” owing to pressure from recent government U-turns on planned spending cuts.’

    Under the Tories the BBC would have been shouting about economic armageddon…but under Labour? Not so much.

    The Telegraph chooses to highlight the main problem…

    ‘OBR sounds alarm over ‘vulnerable’ British economy’

    The Spectator is somewhat dramatic…

    ‘Britain is heading for economic catastrophe’

    But maybe it sees the reality…

    ‘After a series of economic shocks, the report says, Britain is in a ‘relatively vulnerable position’. Our deficit (nearly 6 per cent of GDP) is around 4 percentage points higher than the average for advanced economies and the third highest among European countries. Worse, UK government debt (94 per cent of GDP) is the fourth highest in Europe and we face the third highest borrowing costs of any advanced economy in the world. And much, much worse, say the OBR, is yet to come: by the early 2070s, an ageing population, rising healthcare costs and other ‘age-related’ spending will push debt above 270 per cent of GDP.’

    The BBC plays down problems created by Labour.

      Presumably Reachall Thieves will blame the snivel serpents who are ‘advising’ her, with loads of spreadsheets, but in the end, the marxist dogma prevails, and they all sit around that big table and pontificate on how they can make Britain great again with their failed doctrine.

      Of course, it’ll never work, so the WEF is preparing its stuff to hand to the IMF by about November, when the ordure really will appear in front of the air conditioning at a rate of knots!

    Greg Wallace has been sacked from Masterchef. As if I care as I don’t watch the BBC anymore. GBNews says he has been replaced by Grace Dent. I had assumed that is the large bald headed black lady that seems to be on everything foods, or was when I was last watching. I was wrong. Grace Dent is a white lady. Makes a change I thought….until I read about her. She is vegan. I can see the agenda that Masterchef is going to push.

    Damn – missed the speech made by macron to their Commons – he referred to ‘dear Keir ‘ – whilst his subjects refer to the ‘great leader ‘— how out of touch can the political class be …

    .. did Rachel from accounts blub again over a ‘personal issue ‘?

    Today watch

    School dinners are getting worse and smaller – the gruel isn’t up to it any more – and the wine list is getting shorter .

    And the ‘free breakfast club’ full English Welsh Scottish Irish breakfast is being reduced because of cost – only 4 mushrooms and 25 baked beans per portion ….

    Schools are demanding another Money tree must be planted in the playground …. Otherwise children will be starving to death during maths lessons ….

    Some of the above may not be true – but they do want even more taxpayers ‘ cash …. As always ….

    There will be a day of reckoning..

    The BBC and MSM have not woken up yet, the UK is broke and has been spending above its means for 25 years.

    I remember when Ireland and Greece had to implement so called austerity – proper austerity when Teachers had to take a 25% pay cut amongst many other things.

    Can’t wait !

    Dan Wootton rightly castigates ITV for not once mentioning the taboo word “Islam” on 7/7. But I’m not sure the BBC were much better.

    Funny old world….just wasn’t possible before…

    ‘Ahead of the start of the party’s conference, Reform UK’s MPs have been repeating their claim that migrants who are intercepted while crossing the English Channel can just be taken back to France.

    Both the party’s leader Nigel Farage and deputy leader Richard Tice have claimed that the UK is legally entitled to do this.

    But BBC Verify has found no evidence that this is the case.

    And yet here we are as Starmer prepares to send them back….therefore it must be legal and must be possible….the only actual impediment in the past was France refusing to take them….and us being too weak to demand they take them.

    But of course it’s all a con….the boats will keep coming and when they land they’ll claim asylum and the BBC et al will claim they have the right to stay.
