    The French are about to lend the UK the Bayeux tapestry.

    This fine piece of work is all about sending lots of small boats from France to conquer Britain – according to Rod Liddle on Times Radio.

      But the Bayeux tapestry contains scenes of violence and conquest! Surely it will be banned?
      Oh wait, I spoke too soon. Of course! It depicts the defeat of the English and the victory of invading foreigners. That sort of thing is just what the British establishment wants you to celebrate.

      Meanwhile an effigy of a boat carrying illegal invaders is burnt on a bonfire and the whole of Wokedom is appalled and calling for political and police intervention against the people who done such a terrible thing. They claim it could encourage violence against the illegals. Hardly. What will cause violence is bringing more in which is precisely what the Labour government is doing.
      There is no way that a nutter is set fire to a boat coming across the channel.
      Bonfires and effigies are a tradition. Get real!

      Edward Woodward died a natural death as far as I know. Nobody was inspired to torch him.

      It’s the ultimate gas lighting….I’ve heard that the French museum is being renovated, we are just storing it on the cheap.

      “The French are about to lend the UK the Bayeux tapestry.”

    It’s a crying shame and she was very distressed edition

    In the battle of the broadsheet in-house cartoonists our mate Matt of the Telegraph usually aces it over the left-leaning Newman of the Times.

    But your Mr AsI likes to call it as he sees it and this morning Matt double faults – returning with a second bite of yesterday’s strawberry in the form of another hosepipe ban gag. There was a time in days of yore when the native English were keen gardeners and such recidivist horticultural humour might have been sustained over an entire summer weekend – but sadly not nowadays – when there’s hardly a blade of grass to be seen fronting our suburban semis and they’re far more likely to have been concreted over with what my old dad (who was a bit of an anti-semite – but more of that later) would have termed a jewish lawn.

    Kudos where kudos is due, our Newman combines two current news lines – a winning comic combination – as he satirises our present moment wordlessly with his drawing (the mark of a humourist on top of his game) and to cap it all he risks the ire of the matriarchy to make his joke. He sketches the women’s Wimbledon singles winner under the hot sun clutching that iconic silver plate – her hands protected from the sun-baked hot metal trophie – by a pair of oven gloves.

    Jolly good hit, sir. That quip lands rather well at a moment when, coincidentally, we’re presented certain cause to question the efficacy of dragooning the fairer sex into the black fatigues of our vital transport terminal anti-terror response swat teams.

    It’s a crying shame

    Like they say of history – the news may not repeat itself but it does tend to rhyme…

    ‘Pubs will be extinct in the next 20 years – frets the midly conservative Telegraph – presumably for similar reasons as we witness the demise of our suburban gardens – in other words an alteration in our culture.

    Daily Star Sunday meanwhile focuses on: Rise of the Robo Landlord… Last orders for humans as bots take over our boozers… It could be “computer says no” instead of “get outta my pub”… Bosses are getting ready to bring in artificial intelligence landlords to run our watering holes

    Extra! Extra!

    And another headache for the BBC at the scene of one the nation’s most famous fictional public houses: Albert Square exclusive… Sex attack arrest on set of EastEnders… Scuffle before police swoop… A woman had complained a fellow extra tried to kiss her… “She was very distressed” (The Sun) – oh, the humanity!

    Watch: Child migrants’ fears trying to cross the Channel
    https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c36x3k6y4zzo

    Lots of BBC lies in this article.

    We have the ‘Lie by constrained title’ where the article can ignore everything they don’t want to talk about by restricting to a very specific topic.

    We have the ‘Lie by inference’ which only mentions women and children to imply there are lots more of them than there really are.

    We have the usual MASSIVE lie by omission – where the fact that almost all the migrants are young males but it is hidden from us. All the close-up shots the BBC can control are women and children. The wide shots they can’t are stuffed full of the type of males we see in the news for stabbing someone.

    And the only thing which springs to my mind for this pathetic attempt to use empathy to gain sympathy for these illegal immigrants is how did that BBC idiot clone manage to find them all so easily when the entire French police force didn’t ?.

    What a complete joke this is : the rest of the world are laughing at us for how weak we are. And Starmers solution is to send back 1,200 of those 20,000 who came here illegally and agree to accept 1,200 others who come in through the ‘normal’ route.

    I can scarcely believe how ridiculous this is. We should intercept the boats, take them back to the French beach then destroy the boats. And f*ck whatever the French say. They are laughing at us.

      Watch: Child migrants’ fears trying to cross the Channel02:48
      Nearly 20,000 people arrived in the UK in the first half of this year by crossing the English Channel in small boats, up by almost 50% from the same period last year.

      BBC Newsround correspondent Jenny Lawrence went to Calais to find out why so many people, including children try to make the dangerous crossing from France daily.

    So you thought the problem was the epidemic of migrant Muslim men assaulting women across Europe? Wrong. The real problem, according to the German authorities, is nasty native German women groping those poor brown migrants at swimming pools, especially those with a wooden leg, as illustrated below !?
    WTF!

    So we have the UK top cop telling us black on black crime is rife in London.

    Perhaps look around the world where blacks & whites mix and learn the lessons.

    New York, Chicago, São Paulo, Johannesburg, or nearer to home, Milan, or Paris perhaps. . . ?

    Nope – thought not.

        JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Members of the Jackson City Council have called for the Texaco gas station on Medgar Evers Boulevard to be shut down.

        Councilman Brian Grizzell, Ward 4, said residents in his ward have called him to express their concerns about the gas station. A man was shot and killed at the gas station on Saturday.

        The gas station is located in Ward 3, which is under Councilman Kenneth Stokes. He has called for the gas station to be closed.

        Grizzell said he’s started the process to declare the gas station a public nuisance.
        https://thebeatofthecapital.com/2024/07/25/jackson-councilmen-want-gas-station-closed/

        “We’re going to address it holistically. And what I challenge my team with all the time, we’re not looking for a Band-Aid approach. We’re looking for something more sustainable and a holistic approach,” said Wade.

        a holistic approach?
        Close everything down to end all crime?

        “declare the gas station a safety hazard.”

        Sowell asserts that these thinkers, writers, and activists continue to be revered even in the face of evidence disproving their positions.

    The bBC have not noticed yet that there is an economic storm brewing. The last lot never got a grip of government spend and this lot are taking the wrecking ball to the tax base. The bBC have also failed to notice that the Chancellor lies (chess champion) and is dishonest (expenses and taking improperly authorised time of work – both at HBOS). Despite the fact that we all know that she was Oxbridge (how could you miss it?) she is simply not fit for purpose. Again, not that you would know from the bBC, she just feels like a ‘me too Paula’ floundering about in her inability. Sadly she will do substantially more damage than Vennels (again not that the bBC will notice).

      Rachel Reeves says she ‘should have done better’ amid plagiarism row Published 26 October 2023
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67225980
      Labour’s shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves has said she “should have done better”, after it emerged some passages of her new book were lifted from other sources without acknowledgment.

      ………………….
      MPs raise questions about Rachel Reeves’s CV
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy12820kwwo
      Reeves has previously said she worked as an economist at Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) before entering politics.

      However, her profile on the networking site LinkedIn has been changed to say the role at HBOS was in retail banking.

      Rachel Reeves’ “British Chess Champion” Myth Busted

      Maybe whoever first said she was a champion was thinking of a different tournament – which wouldn’t be the officially recognised one. There are no extant records that anyone has found of a championship victory. Go back to previous years in British Chess Championship records and you can see that in the Under 13s Championship Rachel came 29th. She came 19th in the Under 12s in 1990.

    Non its more serious than that – not only is she personally incapable – but she hasnt even recruited capable advisors .

    So the ‘ risk premium’ in the value of the pound is driving it down as the interest bill is going up .

    And as tax receipts fall along with GDP all those promises she and TTK have made will look stupid

    The mansion house speech on wednesday will be watched far more than usually by people with private pensions and ISAs and if it goes badly Thursday could drive Rachel to tears – again …
