Midweek 9th July 2025

As Britain is invaded by the day – which the BBC tries to ignore – it is faced with a ‘celebrity ‘ called Gregg Wallace giving his side of the story over various allegations of ‘inappropriate behaviour ‘. Let’s hope Mr Wallace does further damage to the BBC after the Glastonbury disgrace last week . Time flies .

    O.K. I will go first. I call for the BBC to be defunded, not just because of Glastonbury but because of the BBC’s attitude to Hamas and the Palestinian people. Indeed, Fed, time does fly.

      Well done Up2 !.

      I think the BBC should be defunded because every time they break the rules and shock people with what they report, it is always something involving the extreme-Left.

      The BBC have been complicit in cultivating the next generation of ‘National Socialists’ in the West (aka Nazis) and I have noticed how they are now become very agressive in pushing their ideology. TTK and our courts have proved that beyond doubt.

      This ‘The Far-Right’ are the biggest threat to out society is absolute nonsense and typical of their ‘projection’. The Nazis are back and the BBC are right on board.

      The worrying part is that this new boldness is because they have now infiltrated all the government organisations including the courts and the police. Ideological people like this will never give up. They have to be stopped.

        JohnC, thank you. As a rider to the above I hope the D-G flies, the TellyTax flies and there are no flies on the BBC anymore! Our supposed National Broadcaster is a disgrace.

    Rishi Sunak now working for Goldman Sachs. There’s a surprise. Is that one of the banks that helped bring down Liz Truss? Ah, but it’s okay, the BBC tell me he is donating his salary to a charity set up by him and his wife. It would not surprise me if she’s the CEO of that charity. I wonder what HER salary is? Oh, and Sunak has been paid more than £500,000 since April for giving three (yes, just the three) speaking engagements. Plus his MP salary and PM pension pot. It’s a hard life having to work for the WEF isn’t it?

      Oh bless
      And he and his wife now run a Charity merry go round. Of course they do,
      Helping the less fortunate you understand, nice little salary and expenses of course , plus the after dinner speaking malarkey.
      Not bad for someone who made one of the worst political decisions in history calling an early general election.

    Liz Truss was set up for failure by Sunak and his dodgy mates.
    So how come our useless chancellor is still pretending she’s in charge whilst recking our economy.and credibility

      It’s not her Pete, it’s the students who ‘advise’ her IMHO.

      She doesn’t have a clue what to do, like TTK, but these backroom kids prepare all he gobbledegook for her, which she reads and rubber-stamps. TTK doesn’t understand economics or high finance either, so between them, a huge wrecking ball is awaiting us all by November, when the recession will be in full swing.

      Perhaps a couple of by-elections might speed up the demise of this awful bunch, but there’s not much hope I’m afraid!

      Because the far-left BBC are well in ‘cockstep’ (sic) with Labour; they’ll just carry on the bad news with their own kids, all instructed by the Sith Floor! Their involvement in lying by omission, and also their support of all things and creeds alien to Indigenous British Citizens is a disgrace.

    There was some absolutely shocking news this morning that there “may” have been 13 suicides of Postmasters that became victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal. I have to say that I gasped out loud when I learnt of that this morning. I can’t say I’m surprised, up to now there had been talk of one or two suicides, I had my doubts, given the numbers. The trauma of being done over by Post Office investigators, losing their good names, business, savings and houses in many cases, was bound to be too much for some.
    It’s a good illustration of why the Government cannot be trusted, those responsible should be charged with manslaughter.

      On Monday morning, President Vladimir Putin sacked his transport minister, Roman Starovoit.

      By the afternoon Starovoit was dead; his body was discovered in a park on the edge of Moscow with a gunshot wound to the head. A pistol, allegedly, beside the body.

      Investigators said they presumed the former minister had taken his own life.”

    The bBC love affair with the state leaves it constantly conflicted. A state needs effective criticism to thrive, and our state does not receive that criticism because of the bBC’s proximity. The bBC is also effective in quietening those who do not share the relatively narrow middle left path they and the state tread. If the UK is to succeed then the state has to get more right than wrong. On the evidence of the last 25 years, they appear to be getting more wrong than right.
    Just a tip for the bBC in case you monitor; leave your bubble and put the Grenfell tower debacle next to the Post Office scandal and ask yourself if this is a society that is operating effectively. Then start to ask yourself why not?

    Looks to be a case that central government are setting up local councils to take a fall for their overspending?

    – although local councils are probably relishing the idea that they get to squeeze more lolly out of the population to employ more bureaucrats….

    – until the taxpayers decide not ?

    BBC news

    Excellent news – Levison has recommended the end of trials .

    Unapproved people will be detained in camps to cut the backlog of court cases . They will be ‘concentrated ‘ .

    This will ‘free up ‘ court space so that those caught making naughty comments on line can be silenced .

    Specially selected TTK judges will ensure any threats to the regime are dealt with together with their families for community safety and cohesion …

    Levison says the criminal justice system is ‘broken ‘ – just ask Lucy Connolly or the others locked up as political prisoners …

    Ethnic people needed bother about obeying laws – no change in sentencing guidelines …

    Prison camps will be the first resort.

    Some of the above may not be true – for the time being ..

    Btw – google says the latest date for a General Election is 15 August 2029 – 1498 days …

    BBC-led news media decide the Post Office IT scandal is the news issue of the day today.

    The Mirror ‘The Heart of Britain’ tops the BBC’s online print press review: Post Office scandal: Tragic Toll

    Mail, Express, Times, freebie giveaway, and Guardian – each either headline or go with the story on their frontpages.

    Let’s just remind ourselves for a moment what the problem was – before the cause of the scandal gets lost in all the outrage: The inquiry concluded that Post Office bosses “maintained a fiction” that data from the branch accounting system was always accurate (Times)

    Meanwhile: Making Tax Digital for Income Tax will become mandatory in phases, starting from 6 April 2026… a new way to report income from self-employment and property to HMRC. (Gov.UK)

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Thousands of defendants in England and Wales could lose the right to a trial by jury under plans published today… trial by judge alone for serious and complex fraud cases (Guardian)

    M&S requested FBI help… a painful cyber attack that it estimates will cost it hundreds of millions of pounds, its chair told a select committee (FT)

    FCA fines Monza £21mn… The digital bank… taking on “high-risk customers” that provided home addresses such as Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street (FT)

    Sometimes these segueways simply insist on writing themeslves…

    Sunak back in banking as senior advisor to Goldman (FT); King and Macron toast ‘ever closer’ UK-France ties at state banquet (BBC)

    Macron calls for a relation spéciale to end reliance on US (Telegraph) – go tell that to Marks and Spencer and their FBI ‘help’.

    One of your Mr AsI’s top favourite movie quotes comes from the 1994 British black comedy crime film Shallow Grave. Naive young flatmates Ewan McGregor and Kerry Fox have helped themselves to a suitcase stuffed with cash – the obvious ill-gotten procedes of crime – left in their shared digs by the suddenly dead newcomer tenant Keith Allen. The three flatmates, including Christopher Eccleston, reslove to secretly dispose of the body without informing the authorities and despite the probable underworld connections of Allen this apparent gangster. They will sit on the loot until it appears safe to begin spending it. But McGregor and Fox become impatient and go on a shopping spee. Returning home to the evidently traumatised Eccleston – he asks them “What has it cost us?” McGregor, who doesn’t understand the full implications of the question, explains they’ve not spent that much of the cash – so Eccleston insists What has it COST us?

    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.

      ………………………

      Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?

    Trump criticises Putin and will impose more sanctions….and the BBC instead of exploring exactly what his approach is now and what he can and might do switches instantly into reading out at length Russian state media attacks on Trump…which oddly, or not, chime exactly with everything the BBC tries to push in its own anti-Trump narratives.

    How odd the BBC pumping out Russian black propaganda in order to attack one of our most important allies…but then again the BBC has always been prepared to collaborate with Putin and become his mouthpiece….witness the years they spent disseminating the Russian dodgy dossier about Trump which was clearly rubbish [the BBC’s Gabriel Gatehouse stated that he knew from the start it was ‘dodgy’ and the BBC shouldn’t go there…but they did]….and the BBC’s logic was a wonder to behold as they told us Russia was trying to help Trump get elected….by telling us he was a terrible person and that he was in their pocket…how is that helping? The BBC even admitted the information in the dossier came direct from Russian intelligence sources….soooo…entirely credible then?

    ‘Claims about a Russian blackmail tape were made in one of a series of reports written by a former British intelligence agent. As a member of MI6, he had been posted to the UK’s embassy in Moscow and now runs a consultancy giving advice on doing business in Russia. He spoke to a number of his old contacts in the FSB, the successor to the KGB, paying some of them for information.’

    I don’t know if anyone can put this up, but I’ve just seen something very disturbing on You Tube.

    Paul Weston, a former Ukip MEP, has some film of a meeting at Oldham council. Ye gods, it’s utterly horrendous…

    The leader is a Muslim and the meeting begins with an Iman spouting Muslim prayers, “All praise be to Allah” and all the white socialists are there, obsequiously with heads bowed. Honestly, I felt my toes curling.

    When you see these vile fifth columnists grovelling to Allah is it any wonder that Jess Phillips (the MP for Oldham) and the local council have continuously refused any investigation into the Pakistani grooming gangs? I think not.

    This is an indication of what can happen when Islam and their socialist lick-spittles get into office. Bent MPs. Rapists walking free. Our police corrupted. We really need to clear this lot out.

    In relation to greater powers, including tax-raising, being given to local authorities (Councils). The situation at the moment is that Councils can increase taxation, but that is subject to controls by central Government. Those controls were largely put in place by the Conservative Thatcher Government due to some Councils basically letting things rip, notably Liverpool. It was also the reason why Uniform Business Rates were brought in. So what Rayner is basically suggesting is loosening or removing those controls. If local democracy worked as it should it would be a good idea, people would vote for Councillors that supported efficiency and low taxation. However many Councils are one party Labour fiefdoms so that wouldn’t work. The benefits system means that many voters don’t pay taxes and/or dependent on the State
    Another issue is the demise of local newspapers and journalism. There is little investigation of Council/Councillor wrongdoing, they basically do what they want now. Local politics doesn’t work..

    The slimeballs even put in ‘While experts say the National Weather Service issued alerts in a timely manner over the weekend, the deadly incident carries warnings about what could happen if the NWS and NOAA are not properly staffed and funded in the future.’ to cover themselves because they know how far they are stretching the truth here, their intent is obvious. It’s an absolute non-story invented because of hate.

    Another one from this clone with extreme TDS who usually works with the poisonous Madeline Halpert to attack our Donald.

      Hundreds of doctors flock to luxury ski resort after NHS warns of its worst week
      By DAISY GRAHAM BROWN IN VAL D’ISERE
      Published: 22:03, 15 February 2025 | Updated: 00:12, 16 February 2025
      https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14401683/doctors-ski-resort-NHS-worst-week.html

      Tickets for the get-together were £490 for consultants, but many NHS Trusts allow doctors to claim up to £500 a year for educational conferences.

      Around 96 per cent of adult hospital beds were occupied and almost one in seven beds (13,776) were taken up by patients well enough to be discharged – both record highs for this winter.

      “He goes on to say: “If white working-class people think that they are being listened to less than Asian people, it’s because they are.” His basic hypothesis is that Labour politicians can ignore white voters because they receive “block votes” from the Asian community in return for turning a blind eye and doing the community favours like granting them council land. He writes: “Those who emerge from the Asian communities to become councillors are rarely there because of their politics or any sense of civic duty. They are there as representatives of their Cartel.” “

    You could barely hear Nigel’s question, the amount of heckling was fantastic and what was particularly irksome were a couple of gruesome looking inbred Pakistanis smirking behind his back.

    2 it’s clear that the Marxists are petrified of Farage and reform – a paki MP from Dewsbury was positioned behind him to drown him if he got a question – which is what happened

    3 David David asked a sensible question about the prosecution of soldiers for killing Ira terrorists – TTK called it ‘points scoring ‘ – deeply offensive

    4 ritual thanks for 3 plod who dealt with the Welsh choir boy – what they are paid for

    5 empty words about 7/7

    6 nothing about the post office scandal

    7 – TTK promised not to increase VAT – Income tax or National insurance – a clear lie …..

    8 breakfast clubs only got mentioned once – in minute 12

    Im not sure I support parliamentary democracy any more … 77 brigade to note ….

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-64759060

      The hospital’s chief operating officer, Stephanie Lawton, said the day of scans funded by Sir Rod would help reduce their waiting list by about10%, or 20 or so patients.

        How is it possible to “pay” for more scans? Either the NHS has not enough scanners, time slots or staff or it does!

        I fail to see how Steward coming across with a one -off wad would allow the NHS to magically produce more scanners/staff/timeslots – where the hell could they find them unless they have been purposely dragging their feet to get sympathy or more £££££…

        I know where my guess is and who is pulling the narrative strings.

        No doubt the health unions would rather create the impression of a poorly funded service accepting Stewarts gesture in desperation to highlight their plight rather than reveal a sluggish organisation.

    The Epstein List
    By Donald kirkland
    Ask questions about the official Epstein files.

    https://chatgpt.com/g/g-2XXD76Zk8-the-epstein-list

    “any staff mentioned?”

    Named New York Staff or Contacts:
    Leslie – Identified as Epstein’s secretary in New York City, who served as a communication relay between house staff (such as Alfredo Rodriguez) and Epstein. Messages had to go through Leslie to reach Epstein via his assistant Sarah.

    Sarah Kellen – Epstein’s personal assistant, often based in New York. She coordinated his appointments and was frequently involved in managing daily operations.

    …….

    “did any cleaners or staff come forward?”

    1. Juan Alessi – Former house manager at Epstein’s Palm Beach residence
    Came forward and testified about the operations of the Palm Beach home.

    He said that young girls were regularly present, and over time they appeared to be getting younger—some looking “sixteen or seventeen at most.”

    …………

    Summary:
    There is a list of names connected to Epstein — but there is not an official “client list” proving criminal activity.

    The distinction between association and criminal complicity is key — and that’s why the media (and courts) are careful in how they frame it. The public documents suggest who might have been clients, but the government has not confirmed or charged them as such — hence the phrase “there is no client list.”

      Question for ChatGPT: Is Bill Gates on the Epstein List?

      Answer: Bill Gates met with Epstein several times between 2011 and 2014. These meetings took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, and some included dinners and even travel on Epstein’s private plane. Gates has publicly expressed deep regret over these encounters. He has called them a “huge mistake,” acknowledging that giving Epstein credibility was foolish. Melinda French Gates, his ex-wife, was reportedly very uncomfortable about these connections and cited them as one factor that contributed to their divorce.

    For all its flaws, GB News is still infinitely better than the biased BBC. Below is a message from Patrick Christys.

    “Why we must stand up and speak freely”

    “Some breaking news – and this time, it’s personal.
    A report from Policy Exchange has revealed something shocking: a so-called Muslim media watchdog has been trying to censor how broadcasters and newspapers cover stories involving Islam or Muslims.
    This group – the Centre for Media Monitoring – is trying to “take control of the narrative about Islam.” That’s not my language. That’s what the report says, word for word.
    They’ve attacked national newspapers and broadcasters – just for reporting the facts. They even criticised papers for calling ISIS executioner Jihadi John a terrorist. Let that sink in.
    But it gets worse.
    You may remember that GB News – and I, personally – have already been targeted by this group. One of their so-called reports was littered with inaccuracies.
    They attributed a quote to me that I never said – not just misquoted, but completely fabricated. I wasn’t even in the studio. I wasn’t even in the country on the day they claim I said it. That lie had consequences.
    It massively increased the threat to my life. Think about that. Because someone wanted to smear GB News, I ended up needing extra protection.
    This isn’t about Islamophobia. It’s about power. It’s about censorship. It’s about shutting down media they can’t control.
    So I’m writing to ask you – if you value truth, if you believe in a free press, if you want to support journalists who tell the stories others are too afraid to touch – please back us.
    Help us keep speaking up. Help us stand our ground.
    Because when they lie about one of us, they’re coming for all of us.
    Thank you,
    Patrick Christys”

      Almost half a century ago, Britain applied to the IMF for a $3.9 billion loan after large budget and trade deficits plunged the country into crisis. In return, the government agreed to IMF-imposed austerity.
      ………..
      In 1976, the Labour government sought a loan from the International Monetary Fund to meet deteriorating economic conditions. The Fund demanded large cuts in public spending. After a bitter Cabinet battle, the Cabinet agreed, so ending plans to expand the economy and improve the social services. Many believed that 1976 was also a crisis for democratic socialism, a philosophy which had sought social improvement through economic growth. That philosophy now appeared irrelevant during a period of austerity.

    ‘Many in the Soviet Union mourn the loss of this great leader who transformed the Soviet Union from a feudal economy to an industrial power and played a crucial role in defeating Hitler. ‘

    This of course the BBC whose many correspondents frequently express the wish that we could have a political society more like China where an inconvenient democracy doesn’t get in the way of the massive imposition of climate change diktats.[Though the Marxist arse Miliband is giving it a good go at replicating the Chinese model].
