Weekend 19th July 2025

Events . The BBC lives on events – promoting certain events or suppressing unapproved ones – wrong narrative – Events . A week of superinjunctions – fired BBC celebrities – suspended labour MPs – 16 year olds given the vote – and trouble with invaders – how do we keep up?

    The BARB stats journo mentions yesterdays viewings starts

    #1 They are very low
    #2 the reporting usually buries the fact that Regional news is the highest rates show.

    @LiamHamilton16
    Regional news on BBC1 the most watched programme of the day on Friday with 2.8million tuning in at regular 6.30pm slot, equivalent on ITV1 starting 30’ earlier watched by a not too shabby 2.2m
    …only the soaps – Emmerdale 2.5m, Coronation Street 2.6m – attracted bigger audiences.

      Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook restricting a story about Joe Biden’s son during the 2020 election was based on FBI misinformation warnings.

      The New York Post alleged leaked emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop showed the then vice-president was helping his son’s business dealings in Ukraine.

      Facebook and Twitter restricted sharing of the article, before reversing course amid allegations of censorship.

      Zuckerberg said that getting the decision wrong “sucks”.

      Since the placards are the usual Socialist Worker ones, let’s have a glance at their website to see what they want, what they really really want.
      Quote
      The problems in society come from a system, capitalism, that prioritises profit above all else. We think the solution is a revolution, where the majority of people take control of society and run it from the bottom up without the billionaires, bosses and landlords.
      End quote

      They are not that interested in refugees or asylum seekers. Or LGBT. Or Palestine. Or BLM. Or George Floyd. Or Stop the War. These are just the tools by which they can achieve their real objective. And it’s not guesswork. They have printed it for us in black and white. And the BBC, certain MPs, the police and judiciary can be seen as the useful idiots helping them achieve their objectives.

        If that lot lived in a real communist state they’d soon be running home to Mum.
        Back in the 80s when the USSR was open for tourism I went to Moscow on a 4 day organised trip. Totally fascinating. Our in-house guide gave us a choice of further sight seeing venues – then added Western democracies have choices, we don’t. However we discovered that the elderly over a certain age all had cared-for accommodation with other benefits – whether it’s still the case who knows ?

    Ukraine seeks new round of talks with Russia
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yl4lz0r38o

    ‘Senior security official Rustem Umerov has offered to meet the Russian side next week, Zelensky said in his evening address, adding that everything had to be done to get a ceasefire.’

    Yes, we saw you do everything you could Zelensky. It was that major escalation with the drone attacks against Russias strategic bomber airfields right when negotiations were at their most sensitive. It deliberately broke Russia’s ‘red lines’ and now you are paying the price.

    Notice how this event – just like Nordstream – was dropped very quickly by the BBC and is rarely mentioned again.

    Sorry Volodymyr but NATO and the EU (and the USA deep state) have no interest in stopping this war and you know it. Once again we see the exact same wording by the BBC for his demand for an ‘unconditional ceasefire’. And the key word here is ‘unconditional’. Why must it always be ‘unconditional’ ?.

    The reason is clear and everybody knows it. It’s for one reason : so Ukraine can reinforce their positions and resupply the army with weapons and troops.

    The more the BBC report what the comedian says like this without any context or question, the more I don’t trust a single word either of them say.

    The key point of this article is that with nearly 400 drones+missiles launched, only 3 civilians were killed. We aren’t told of military casualties.

    Next stop : the sabotage of any peace talks resulting from Trumps ’50 day ultimatum’.

    Further weather update.
    Do you remember the old football chant ‘oh it’s all gone quiet over there’?

    Looking through the BBC news webshite there are no reports of any flooding in the UK.

    Which is rather odd since for two days the BBC were announcing yesterday’s rain in the direst terms of flash floods, thunder and lightening, ‘a month’s rain in a few hours’ blah blah blah. And now. Nothing. Not a snippet. Not a comment.

    Anyone would think they had totally overdone the prior threats for a reason, like avoiding egg-on-face or their unrelenting climate change agenda.

    If the Marxists are going to do it there should be a ‘deaL’ – if you live off the taxes of others you must have a water meter …

    On BBC news at 8am on the radio, it is reported that an imminent report on homelessness and rough sleeping will show a huge increase since the covid era.

    This could easily be solved at no additional cost to the taxpayer. Put 19000 Afghans and 45000 rubber dinghy arrivals into tented camps on some inhibited Scottish island. And divert the money saved to provide simple and safe accommodation for our indigenous homeless.

    There you are. How difficult was that?
    The answer in BBC land is very, because for some reason they did not comment on the juxtaposition between asylum seekers living in hotels at the taxpayers’ expense and British people out on the streets.

      The problem with that Sluff is that it lets the French off the hook.

      I say put every illegal economic immigrant who came over on a boat onto Royal Navy landing craft, sail to the French coast and dump the lot on the beach.

      Then tell Macron that we are returning those who he accepted our money to stop because he utterly failed to uphold his end of the bargain.

      And dump TTK there as well while we are at it. Historically he is more responsible for this ludicrous situation than anyone. The man is an enemy of the state.

    Edification of the nation edition

    There are those who would maintain that we live under what they term a Patriarchy.

    I’m not so sure. Our Sunday papers at least appear to enjoy nothing better than hosting a weathly establishment woman slagging off blokes as a group… tarring the chaps with their very broadest of discriminatory prejudicial brushes…

    Amanda [Holden]: The office catfight is a myth invented by men (Mail on Sunday); Aasmah Mia how the BBC indulges sexist, untouchable men (Sunday Times)

    Men, eh?

    At least our in-the-tank for Labour Sunday Mirror comes out against such casual prejudice against a group – finds an apparent egregious example of a crime based on discrimination and – for the further edification of the nation – hammers the lesson home year after year after year after year…

    Stephen Lawrence exclusive… Plea for justice… Dad says he’ll watch killer’s parole hearing and demand answers

    Sadly (perhaps) catfights may not be a real thing, chaps. Mind you, our Amanda used to make a career acting them out… and beating up on the black girl: Remember when Amanda Holden took on co-star Angela Griffin in the ultimate catfight? The feisty blonde was of course played by Amanda Holden in the BBC drama [Cutting It], which saw her stylishly take on anyone who crossed her path. She famously fought with Angela Griffin’s alter ego Darcey Henshall and walked away with little more than a cut lip in one very saucy scrap. (Jessica Earnshaw, Express, 2016) – well, I suppose this show was aired on the sexism-indulged untouchably-male manned BBC?

    Who wrote Cutting It? Debbie Horsfield

    Meanwhile, in the all-male (both of them) duel of the in-house political cartoonists, one notes today that Newman, in the left-leaning Times, has the satirical edge over our mate Matt in the mildly conservative Telegraph

    I have to call it as I see it…

    One notes Matt riffing on the news of the child voting age and how that bit of electoral gerrymandering Starmer skulduggery might now in fact favour the ambitions of Nigel Farage. He draws a father confronting junior, presumably just home from school, who happens to have picked up from somewhere or someone the dubious Farage-like habit of smoking a cigarette while clutching a pint: “You’re only 16. That’s too young to vote for Reform” – meh, as the kids would say.

    Newman, on the other hand, hones in on the humour to be had from our typically capricious British summer weather and the sorry state of consequent official alarmism and over-reaction. He draws a copper confronting a householder – both up to their waists in flood water: “Someone been using their hosepipe, have they?”

    I do enjoy that old school take on cop speak. Very Dixon of Dock Green.

    The popular press ain’t that interested in promoting it to their frontpages but our BBC certainly relishes a touch of foreign bang-bang…

    ‘There were bodies everywhere’: Druze residents describe ‘bloodbath’ in Syrian city Suweida (Lina Sinjab, BBC News); Syria struggles to quell deadly Bedouin-Druze clashes in south (Jon Donnison, Jaroslav Lukiv & Amy Walker, BBC News) – a bit of byline inflation there from our BBC

    Bedouin-Druze clashes? As my old dad used to remark – “These people used to ride around on camels lopping one another’s heads off”

    What, no Observer in the BBC’s online line-up of frontpages? Someone must be slipping.

    Sky News does a parade of the print press covers.

    SAS is accused of killing unarmed men and boys on night raids in Afghanistan… This is the story of the silencing operation – deletion of evidence, unheard witnesses, police obstruction, injuctions, delay and denials (Observer) – on a lighter note the same frontpage also teases: Nigel Slater’s summer menu – I guess the Observer know their audience – that frontpage a bit too spicy for the national broadcaster at this particular rather delicate news juncture, BBC?

          Fitness app Strava lights up staff at military bases
          Published 29 January 2018
          https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-42853072
          Security concerns have been raised after a fitness tracking firm showed the exercise routes of military personnel in bases around the world.

          Online fitness tracker Strava has published a “heatmap” showing the paths its users log as they run or cycle.

          It appears to show the structure of foreign military bases in countries including Syria and Afghanistan as soldiers move around them.

          The US military was examining the heatmap, a spokesman said.

    From BBC “A powerful new criminal offence to target suspects who are found to be preparing mass killings will ensure their plotting is taken as seriously as terrorism, the home secretary says.”

    I worry about this (and everything politicians say). The Prevention of Terrorism Act was used to silence an 80-year-old heckler at the Labour Party conference. The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) was allegedly brought in to counter terrorism and was used by councils obtain evidence to prosecute householders putting bins out early.

    The Eleventh Hours

    “It’s not so different elsewhere: The UK government is having to borrow money to pay the interest on the money it’s already borrowed. To put it in terms Keir Starmer can understand, that’s like having to borrow money from tonight’s Ukrainian rent boy to pay off yesterday’s Ukrainian rent boy. Except that the fetching Donbas twinks would already have blown up your car.”

    and also:

    “Sir Keir spends money he doesn’t have housing “migrants” in four-star country hotels so they can get a good night’s sleep after raping your daughter.”

            TTK and Rachel from complaints are making the economy more and more inflexible. Worker’s rights, NI contribution hike, NI due on lower earnings (rarely mentioned but a killer for part time working which many want to do for personal reasons).
            So putting money into such an economy won’t create growth but it will create inflation. And then we’re all screwed.
            Except of course that devaluing by inflation the savings, possessions, and investments of the ‘middle class’ is exactly the way the Far Left could produce ‘an equal society’.
            Equal in the sense that we’ll all be equally poor. Except of course for the ruling class running around in their Zils.

      If people are encouraged to accept absurdities in life, they are more likely to commit atrocities.

    ‘A powerful new criminal offence to target suspects who are found to be preparing mass killings will ensure their plotting is taken as seriously as terrorism, the home secretary says.

    Yvette Cooper said the criminal justice system had to be given new tools to respond to violence-fixated individuals who are not motivated by a particular ideology, in the wake of the Southport attack last year.

    Terror suspects who take steps towards an attack can be jailed for life, even if their plans are not fully formed….The planned non-terror offence would apply to a far wider range of scenarios.’

    Ah yeah…’non-terror offences’…would that be like ‘non-hate crimes’?

    Seems like a slippery slope…just where does the interpretation of what ‘taking steps’ or ‘preparing’ lie…where is the line? All those commentators talking about the possibility of civil war…are they potentially going to come under this one day? People who talk about getting out the pitchforks…are they getting their collars felt?…..slippery slope…there are people who would go that far even when the accused was clearly joking….happened recently….claims of ‘terrorism’…..

    The BBC uses Axel Rudakubana as an example of a crime where there was no ideological motive…but many would beg to differ…it is quite probable that he was motivated by anti-British, anti-White hate…fed and encouraged by the likes of the BBC, the education system, other media and politicians…not to mention the horde of Blacktivists who constantly try to whip up hate and anger against Whites….perhaps such legislation should really be looking at those who do incite and encourage such anger and hate….possibly the real criminals here.

      A Katie Hopkins stand-up show has been cancelled over safety concerns, due to a planned protest set to take place outside the venue.

      Katie Hopkins musical confronts the age of outrage

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-43746654
      The title of a new musical – The Assassination of Katie Hopkins – is designed to provoke a reaction. And it has succeeded, not least from the woman herself. But its creators say the show is not what she – or the audience – might expect.

    Dreadful….The satirical news programme was abruptly ended by the BBC in 1967….this was the end of media freedom and indeed democracy…if comedians are not allowed to snipe at politicians then we are on the road to dictatorship and fascism. This was such an upset that the French actualy rioted in 1968 demanding David Frost and co be brought back.

    Roll onto today and a similar situation is leading us once again down the dark road to totalitarianism as CBS announce that the satiricial news programme The Late Show is ending. This, says the Times’ Sarah Baxter, is an outrageous attack on media freedom and, indeed, democracy….mainly, one knows, because Colbert is a raging lefty….thus a good egg.

    Curious how years of the Left cancelling comedians, artists, writers, teachers, university academics, historians, media people and politicians, not to mention the man or woman in the street being arrested or losing their jobs for daring to suggest that ‘it’s OK to be white’ or that ‘white lives matter’ or maybe we could limit immigration…or Hamas are terrorists, curious that cancelling them is OK.

    Paradox of course is that her comment reveals why the MSM is in fact a danger to real democracy as the background to the story is related to Trump and the Times hates Trump and vilifies him relentlessly rather than balanced, truthful reporting…thus warping people’s perceptions and how they react and maybe vote.

        Well yeah…it was their migration out of africa, when they murdered the neanderthals and stole, colonised, their land, that the new era began….the massive forest clearance, farming , domestication of farty animals leading to massive environmental change as well as all the advances we have now…not least the invention of white people as blacks were developed and improved upon so adapting to the new climate…turning white…with the additonal brain power added with neanderthal genes produced by the rape of neanderthal females before they were wiped out.

        Blacks have a lot to answer for…I expect reparations for the damage they have done to the planet and ‘humanity’.

        It is a curiousity though that when left to their own devices in sub-saharan Africa they just mouldered away, there was no progress, no advances…no literature and writing, no industry[other than slavery], no real art, no science, no architecture…no nothing.
        Only when shown how to do things when meeting more developed people could they develop anything for themselves.
        The BBC likes to boast of ‘Black’ achievements…but in fact that should be ‘european’ achievements for they only came about because the Blacks had european education and lived in highly developed european societies that gave them the opportunity to shine…skin colour had nothing to do with it….put them back in Africa and…..nothing…..contrast with whites moving to Africa or dare I say it Jews to the desert and see it bloom…whereas in Gaza…

    Ironically just before the Times’ Sarah Baxter told us ending a satirical lefty news show was a threat to democracy they had on Dan Reed who produces documentaries….such as “Four Hours at the Capitol” for the BBC….so you can tell where he is coming from already…and now he’s producing one about the Southport riots…again expect a very particular narrative…..a narrative cobbled together to paint a very particular picture and conclusion that may be wildy at variance with the truth…how’s that for ‘democracy’?

    It was very revealing that he admitted talking about immigration was basically unacceptable or even taboo in the media circles he and the Times presenter move in…as if we didn’t know that of course. But even though he recognises and admits that he still sticks to that mindset…talking about the deplorable public[white working class apparently]….they are leaning right and may even go for far-right figures like….Farage. Bingo….there you have it…The true voice of the media [and political] class…dismiss talk of immigration as far-right….ala Starmer post Southport.

    The problem, he claims, is that these people, the white working class[got news for him…concern about the issues is widespread across all classes] live in a social media bubble…they have no idea of real life and what is happening in the wider world….they, lol, are out of touch with the media and politicians…that’s the problem…the white working class are ignorant, probably stupid, oh and they’re ‘unwell’.
    Yep…those rioters are ‘unwell’…they’re sick…sick in the head….no real understanding of the world, no insights into reality and in fact have no real issues to complain about…it’s all imaginary tosh fed to them by looney conspiracy theorists on social media. This is of course the same narrative the BBC uses.

    Yeah…it’s not a concern that a second generation immigrant steeped in anti-White, anti-British hate fed to him by the Left kills three little girls and attempts to murder many more. Nothing to see there.

    The MSM is the biggest threat to democracy [other than despotic politicians of which we have many]…and the BBC is the biggest danger to this country.

    TWoTWeee Watch #1 – the noxious Naughtie presenting

    I missed the first five minutes but it appeared to be 25 minutes of anti-Israel from beginning to end, with exception of a young lass with an Arabic surname who was trying to bring some balance to the BBC’s skewed narrative. Needless to say the BBC will have ignored what she said. The half hour that followed TwoTWee was pure anti-Trump so the BBC were getting three bites of their current ‘villains’: Israel, President Trump and Curtis Yarvin.

    A disgraceful hour from the BBC.

      Fed, Blower beat you to it with his cartoon in tomorrow’s Daily Telegraph, “It ain’t over until the fat lady waves a Pally flag.” I echo your thought ‘Keep Going IDF’. Sadly Hamas have threatened to execute the surviving Israel hostages if the IDF invade Gaza again. We need to pray the the God of Israel will do a mighty work in not just keeping the hostages alive but will eventually free them. I have prayed for that this afternoon but that there will be a also Christian Jew among the hostages and will witness to the other Hamas’ hostages and share his or her testimony. 🙂 God is much greater than Hamas. 🙂 x 10

        Up2 – it’s a brutal thing but maybe Israels’ policy shouid be to assume all the hostages are dead .. order the evacuation of Gaza to the borders – then turn Gaza into a car park – how can there ever be a two state solution when one of them is sworn to destroy Israel ….?

        What ever Israel does the ‘international community’ / HamasUN will be against it … I hope the Israeli public don’t get war weary – im sure that knowing their very survival depends on the IDF they ll keep going …

        The msm is carrying the usual unverified Hamas propaganda that 67 were killed today – maybe the likes to the BBC should send Mohammed Bowen in to tell the ‘truth ‘ …

    WATCH: In Empty House of Commons, UK MP Danny Kruger Urges ‘Christian Restoration’ | APT

    Tory MP Danny Kruger delivered a passionate speech in the House of Commons calling for a “Christian restoration” in the UK—yet only a handful of MPs were present to hear it. In a post on X, Kruger remarked on the “empty chamber,” highlighting the disconnect between his message and Parliament’s turnout. His remarks have since sparked debate online about faith, politics, and parliamentary engagement.

    Comment “OMG…That is one proud English man…sorry the rest of the ignorant MPs didn’t turn up to hear this wonderful speech…”

    ………..

    The country itself reflects that—unclear in its doctrines and its governance, profoundly precarious, chronically exposed to threats from without and within. It is at risk economically, culturally, socially and, I would say, morally.

    Last month, in the space of three days in one infamous week, this House authorised the killing of unborn children—of nine-month-old babies—and it passed a Bill to allow the killing of the elderly and disabled.

      Marky – thank you for putting that up . In a way it was a good thing that their chamber was empty – there was not the showboating screams of ‘ give way ‘. And at least this character repented for the Evil Week of dead babies and dead old and inconvenient .

      Kruger seems to have forgotten that Britain was a Roman Catholic Country for hundreds of years and Christianity was only perverted because an amoral monarch wanted to get his leg over …

      My church today was overflowing with people of all ages – you won’t hear that on the BBC . Jesus Christ will live far beyond the madness and the evil …

    There are two religions moving into the space from which Christianity has been ejected, and one is Islam. In a debate yesterday, I said how much I find myself in agreement with Muslim colleagues in Parliament on moral and social matters. But as I have been saying, this is a Christian country—if it is a country at all—and I cannot be indifferent to the extent of the growth of Islam in recent decades.

    It is the other religion that worries me even more. This other religion is a hybrid of old and new ideas, and it does not have a proper name. I do not think that “woke” does justice to its seriousness. It is a combination of ancient paganism, Christian heresies and the cult of modernism, all mashed up into a deeply mistaken and deeply dangerous ideology of power that is hostile to the essential objects of our affections and our loyalties: families, communities and nations. It is explicitly and most passionately hostile to Christianity as the wellspring of the west. That religion, unlike Islam, must simply be destroyed, at least as a public doctrine. It must be banished from public life—from schools and universities, and from businesses and public services. It needs to be sent back to the fringes of eccentricity, like the modern druids who invest Stonehenge in my constituency with a theology that is seen as mad but harmless because its followers are so few and no one serious takes them seriously.

    Did you know the fact that Satanic Socialist teachers are forcing kids to celebrate ‘Pride’ in people damaged by gender bending chemicals, found in pesticides polluting the environment. Instead of taking legal action against the polluters, the kids are forced to display ‘rainbow flags’ to thank the polluters for bringing ‘Pride’ to the people effected. Market Weighton in East Yorkshire seems to be most effected by this problem.

      “The day after I published this article, two bearded Muslim Pakistani officers from Greater Manchester Police turned up at my front door.

      They weren’t local – they were sent from Oldham, crossing jurisdiction lines into Tameside. Despite my repeated attempts to get answers from
      @GMPOldham
      , neither of the attending officers has had the courage to explain why they came. No justification. No explanation.

      Let me be clear:
      I oppose convicted heroin dealers and getaway drivers for cop killers standing for public office. I equally oppose senior figures within
      @UKLabour
      forging ties with criminals. This includes men who have convictions for kidnapping and torturing their victims.

      We already know Greater Manchester Police has been infiltrated by
      @UKLabour
      and has been exposed shielding their rape gang-protecting apparatus. But what concerns me now is something darker still: a police force so paralysed by fear of being called racist, it may already be compromised by Pakistani cartel influence.

      So here’s a question for you:
      How long before
      @gmpolice
      has its own Sharia Squad – a unit of Muslim-only officers enforcing their own brand of justice?

      And more importantly – how long before they’re knocking on your door?
