Midweek 23rd July 2025

It looks like the demonstration at Epping are spreading . The BBC will either pretend they are not happening in other Counties – or labelling it as ‘thuggery ‘… anyway please be cautious about comments . Lucy Connolly got 31 months for an angry tweet – so please be careful …

      “Most of the time I had to talk to representatives in India or Bangladesh, with those thick Bengali accents that are so hard to understand. Sometimes, if I was lucky, I got to talk to an American. And the Hispanics were OK — their English was very good, with just that mild south-of-the-border accent that we’re all used to, and they seemed knowledgeable and intelligent. But mostly I had to talk to Bangladesh.

      During the last such call, I put the representative on notice that if the site wasn’t back up today, I would demand that the ticket be escalated so that I could talk to someone whose native language was English, and who could really fix the problem. Thank the Lord, that didn’t become necessary, and I think I may finally be out of Tech Support Hell.”

    Agenda-driven woke Transport update.

    In East Londonistan, the Silvertown Tunnel opened as an extra river crossing. The cost is £4 each way for a car,

    TfL laud its success. Bus users have increased. Could this perhaps be to do with the fact that the buses are free????

    Rather less TfL publicity about the free cyclist shuttle bus through the tunnel. An average of one cyclist per bus is using the free service. One. One FFS. I say free. It is of course not free but paid for by taxpayers.

    TfL. I don’t trust them with a barge pole.

    A quite interesting BBC4 programme tonight about Attlee and his government. The presenter seemed to swoon lovingly over all the socialism.

    But blink and you missed two telling passing comments.

    At the formation of the NHS Nye Bevan had to take on the ‘vested interests of the medical profession’.
    Has anything changed since 1948?

    Meanwhile, over at the Foreign Office, we learn Ernest Bevin understood and appreciated ‘the gut patriotism of the working class’.
    Now this HAS changed since 1948.
    The modern Labour Party of TTK, Herman, and Remoaners, have no understanding but only contempt for the gut patriotism of the working class. So much so, they are replacing them with immigrants who have no such ‘hang ups’.

    Many readers to this blog will have already seen short charts illustrating the 4 stages of Islamic conquest.
    As the danger grows ever more urgent, and the censorship increases, it might be of interest to look at a more detailed description of the process.

    The Four Stages of Islamic Conquest

    STAGE 1: INFILTRATION
    Muslims begin moving to non-Muslim countries in increasing numbers and the beginning of cultural conflicts
    are visible, though often subtle.
    1. First migration wave to non-Muslim “host” country.
    2. Appeal for humanitarian tolerance from the host society.
    3. Attempts to portray Islam as a peaceful & Muslims as victims of misunderstanding and racism (even
    though Islam is not a ‘race’).
    4. High Muslim birth rate in host country increase Muslim population.
    5. Mosques used to spread Islam and dislike of host country & culture.
    6. Calls to criminalize “Islamophobia” as a hate crime.
    7. Threatened legal action for perceived discrimination.
    8. Offers of “interfaith dialogue” to indoctrinate non-Muslims.

    How many nations are suffering from Islamic infiltration? One? A handful? Nearly every nation? The Islamic
    ‘leadership” of the Muslim Brotherhood and others wish to dissolve each nation’s sovereignty and replace it
    with the global imposition of Islamic sharia law. Sharia law, based on the koran, sira and hadith, condemns
    liberty and forbids equality and is inconsistent with the laws of all Western nations. As the author and historian
    Serge Trifkovic states:
    “The refusal of the Western elite class to protect their nations from jihadist infiltration is the biggest betrayal in
    history.”

    What does ‘mentioned in the Epstein files’ mean? The BBC is hyping already known fact that Trump is ‘mentioned in the Eopstein files’ telling us the WSJ has revealed this…but…not a new story…

    ‘The official pointed to Epstein files disclosed months earlier by the justice department that had included Trump.’

    And the files also ‘mention’ many in Trump’s family including his daughter….

    ‘Those files, distributed to conservative influencers in February, included the phone numbers of some of Trump’s family members, including his daughter.’

    The BBC goes a step further in an attempt to smear by association…

    ‘Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump in a routine briefing at the White House in February that the files contained hearsay about many people, including Trump, who had socialised with Epstein in the past.

    Bondi also told the president that the Epstein records included child pornography…’

    Whilst turning the focus relentlessly on Trump the BBC forgets to mention that Bill Clinton was a regular on Epstein flights.

    Whilst slipping in information to smear Trump the BBC omits other information when discussing protests outside hotels used to house illegal mjgrants. They’ll tell us police deny ‘bussing’ antifa to the protests but fail to mention the police admit escorting them to the protests…and note the lack of any attempt to describe who exactly are the violent thugs and vandals the police claim were stirring up trouble. No mention that it was antifa that caused the violence at what was a peaceful protest until they turned up.

    A short piece about the BBC by Michael deacon in thr DT

    STARTS Last year, someone by the name of Scarlet Blake was jailed for beating a man over the head with a bottle, strangling him, and shoving him into a river, where he drowned. Four months earlier, Blake had killed a cat and then liquefied its remains in a blender. This violent brute – as you’ve probably guessed, if you didn’t already know – is male. Yet, because he calls himself trans, the BBC’s coverage obligingly referred to him as “a woman”.
    How I would love to have been a fly on the BBC newsroom wall that day.
    “Blimey, have you heard about this Scarlet Blake? He sounds like an absolute sicko.”
    “What do you mean, ‘he’, you cruel bigot? How dare you misgender her! Just because someone murders a random stranger for fun and turns a defenceless animal into cat purée, it doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings!”
    In reality, of course, I doubt any such conversation took place. Because I’m sure nobody in the BBC newsroom would dream of misgendering anyone. And that impression was only reinforced by a story on the BBC website this week.
    “Wife killed husband with samurai sword, court told,” stated the headline. The opening sentence read: “A woman killed her husband with a samurai sword ‘stabbing and slicing him’ more than 50 times before replacing the sword in its sheath on a stand, a court heard.”
    Many readers will doubtless have been startled. After all, it’s extremely rare for a woman to be accused of such a violent crime. Perhaps they will have been less surprised once they reached the fourth paragraph, and learnt that the woman in question “is transgender”. Or, to put it more simply: male.
    Still, the BBC is certainly consistent. Another of its headlines this week read: “Suzy Izzard awarded honorary doctorate”.
    The subject is better known as a comedian named Eddie. He’s previously said he has no problem with people referring to him as “he”. So the BBC, it seems, takes a stricter line than he does himself.
    Such a policy may be wonderfully inclusive. But in news stories – and in particular, news stories about violent crime – journalists have a duty to report the plain facts. Is it a fact that women are born with penises? No. It’s merely a belief, and one that most licence-fee-payers, I’d bet, do not share. Apparently, however, the BBC wishes to force this belief upon them.
    If so, the BBC is no longer a broadcaster. It’s an activist group. One staffed by people who think a fact must be set aside, if it threatens to undermine the ideology they’re determined to advance.END

    Our mate Matt in the Telegraph is bang on form this morning. The kids may have moved on to the likes of Mario Kart, Minecraft, Animal Crossing and Fortnite (or so I hear) but Matt sketches a couple playing that old school family boadgame Monopoly…

    “And I’m building four new migrant hotels here…”

    There was a time Spitting Image relentlessly lampooned our politicians, often with anarchic dark political satire – and gosh how we were encouraged to laugh along with the antics of those exaggerated latex puppets.

    Speaking of latex puppets – sometimes these segueways…

    Turns out our present day left-liberal globalist elite puppets can’t take a bit of comic leg-pulling at their expense: Macrons sue over ‘Brigitte is a man’ claim: (Telegraph) Macrons sue US podcaster for ‘degrading’ trans claims (Times)

    Degrading? That ought to have the “Trans Community” up in arms. What’s the problem? Quel est le problème? Our foreign affairs top dog David Lammy assures us a chap can grow lady parts – so inter alia [phrase of the day], so to speak, a gal can grow a man bit. And, as a good liberal, your Mr AsI will defend their right to do that – as long as they don’t go about frightening the horses with it, as we used to say.

    Byline inflation is a cautionary red flag. This morning the Times goes in noticably mob-handed presenting the regime’s response to the migrant hotels protests.

    It takes Tom Ball, Ellie McDonald and Matt Datham, Home Affairs Editor (and Uncle Tom Cobley and all?) to attempt to frighten the children: Neo-Nazis push for anti-immigration protests at hotels across UK (Times)

    Respectfully, I think we’ll find it is those on the pro-immigration side of the argument who are rather keen on taking the Lebensraum from the locals and give it to the invaders – for a better life and all that.

    Speaking of past wars (as our media so love to do) – we have a remarkable historic precedent before us – an army actually feeding the population of its enemy while hostilities continue. In the world wars, parts one and two, Britain and our allies blockaded our enemies in a determined effort to starve their civilian populations into submission. That tends to be the norm.

    Our left-liberal media: BBC, Guardian and Express headline complaints how the Israelis aren’t feeding their enemy efficiently enough – despite: GHF says it distributed 34,000 boxes of food today in Gaza, its highest one-day total… totaling around 2.5 million meals (Times of Israel, 11 June)

    In a week when the media mourns: R.I.P. to a giant… The Man… The Myth… The Legend… Ozzy (Mirror) – meanwhile, the Express wants to get the old band back together: 40 years on… Sir Bob Geldof’s new plea to the world… ‘Feed the children of Gaza…’

    If only someone would return the sausages.

    https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/listen-nick-ferrari-asks-a-squirming-yvette-cooper-if-she-has-taken-syrian-refugees-into-her-home/

    NF: Have you taken your refugee in yet?

    YC: Well, I think we should be offering sanctuary

    NF: But have you taken yours yet?

    YC: Yeah but I don’t think this is about… I’ve said from the start if people need homes we should be offering…

    NF: Have you taken yours yet?

    YC: If you listen to what the government’s said, they’ve said no they don’t want people to take them into their homes. What they want is to provide housing for the small number of Syrian refugees who have come over. Where I do think we should help and…

    NF: Have you taken yours yet Yvette?

    YC: No that’s what I said, because the government has said

    NF: So you haven’t taken yours because the Government has said . . ?

    YC: The Government’s said that’s not what we’re looking for, because what they’re looking for is proper homes for people and, you know, people should have the dignity of their own homes…

    NF: So because David Cameron says not to do it, you’re not doing it?

    YC: Yeah, but, look, the Government, you’ve got to provide proper support when they come and what’s the proper support people need? And they need, you know, if they’re a family they’ll need housing of their own.

    If they’re a child, they’ll need proper foster support, if you wanna be a fosterer you’ve gotta go through proper training and support through your local council, you can’t just take any family. So look, if that’s what the Government say is what’s needed and that’s what people think is needed . . .

    NF: So you won’t be making a room available now?

    YC: Then, of course, but at the moment the Government is saying that is not what you need to provide sanctuary. But, you know, the bigger problem at the moment we’re actually not providing any sanctuary at all, we’ve got just 4,000 Syrian refugees coming here a year, there’s 4,000 a day arriving in Greece and you’ve got child refugees who are, you know, alone in Europe and, 10,000 of them…

    NF: So can one of them have your room?

    YC: Hey, you’ve got to have proper fostering, haven’t you? You’ve got to have proper fosterers and I’ll be honest, I’ve not had proper support and training from local councils to be a proper fosterer and I think that’s not summink you play games with . . . because what we did with the Kindertransport, you remember, the Kindertransport before the Second World War.

        🚨SUMMER MASS PROTESTS – Call me cynical but …

        The only real outcome from a summer of “discontent” on the streets will be a massive clampdown on civil liberties.

        Every peaceful protest, no matter how justified, risks being infiltrated & goaded into riots. And every time that happens it will be used to justify new emergency powers, surveillance, and restrictions.

        Don’t think the government fears disorder. It doesn’t! it will thrive on it. It will use it to justify measures they couldn’t otherwise push through.

        If you think mass protesting ends with justice or reform? It won’t!. It will end with curfews, bans, blacklists, and a public too scared to speak up ever again!

        I’m just saying, think of another way because you’re walking into a trap!

      If it had been a group they disapproved of, they wouldn’t have been so fastidious in their choice of words. The headline would have been: ‘Far-right protestors clash with police’, or ‘Tommy Robinson supporters cause trouble’, or whatever.

      “If anyone is struggling with renting an Uber Eats account due to selfie verification, I can put you in contact with a guy who will be able to sort it. It will cost though.” 

      The post, one of dozens a day on the Facebook page “Food Delivery Drivers Uber Eat & Deliveroo UK”, is an example of how checks by the food delivery industry to ensure its riders have a legal right to work in Britain are being targeted by those looking to circumvent them.  

      https://www.ft.com/content/e9f1a313-be9d-448d-9d3a-1e763eea46ff

      Since introducing checks, Deliveroo has blocked hundreds of accounts and prevented the registration of thousands of users, said a person close to the company.

    Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer received an additional £16,000 worth of clothes from Labour peer Lord Alli, it has emerged.

    The donations, first reported by the Guardian, external, were initially declared as money for his private office as leader of the opposition.

    The gifts – of £10,000 in October 2023 and £6,000 in February this year – were declared on time, but will now be re-categorised as donations in kind of clothing.

    The re-categorisation comes after Downing Street sought advice over the donations.

    Sir Keir has insisted he has always followed the rules.

      ………………………

      I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police,

      more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country.

      The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

      – you need to understand something clearly.

      The first step may well be civil action against your rape gang–protecting police force. But make no mistake – it will not end there.

      Just as it will not stop at a private prosecution of named officers. Nor will It stop at the National Inquiry, where I will testify, not just against you, but against all of your criminal associates within

      I’m not sure it will even stop with politicians such as yourself going to prison.

      What I am sure of is that, when this does finally stop, the fallout will reshape this country – for the better.

      Justice is coming.

      The truth is out. The world is watching. And justice is coming.

      I’m Raja Miah MBE. For six years, I led a small team that uncovered what the state tried to bury: that politicians actively protected the rape gangs.

    I wonder if the police know that under section 60AA of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, a police officer in uniform can require any person to remove any item which the officer reasonably believes is being worn wholly or mainly for the purpose of concealing their identity. Section 60AA also enables a police officer in uniform to seize any item which they reasonably believe any person intends to use to conceal their identity?

      It’s time for a new kind of political party. One that belongs to you.

      The system is rigged.

      The system is rigged when 4.5 million children live in poverty in the sixth richest country in the world. The system is rigged when giant corporations make a fortune from rising bills. The system is rigged when this government says there is no money for the poor, but billions for war.

      We cannot accept these injustices – and neither should you.

      We will only fix the crises in our society with a mass redistribution of wealth and power. That means taxing the very richest in our society. That means an NHS free from privatisation and bringing energy, water, rail and mail into public ownership. That means investing in a massive council-house building programme. That means standing up to fossil fuel giants putting their profits before our planet.

      Meanwhile, millions of people are horrified by the government’s complicity in crimes against humanity. Now, more than ever, we must defend the right to protest against genocide. We believe in the radical idea that all human life has equal value. That is why we will keep demanding an end to all arms sales to Israel, and for the only path to peace: a free and independent Palestine. [1/2]

      Our movement is made up of people of all faiths and none. The great dividers want you to think that the problems in our society are caused by migrants or refugees. They’re not. They are caused by an economic system that protects the interests of corporations and billionaires. It is ordinary people who create the wealth – and it is ordinary people who have the power to put it back where it belongs.

      It’s time for a new kind of political party. One that is rooted in our communities, trade unions and social movements. One that builds power in all regions and nations. One that belongs to you.

      Sign up at http://www.yourparty.uk to be part of the founding process, leading to an inaugural conference. At this conference, you will decide the party’s direction, the model of leadership and the policies that are needed to transform society. That is how we build a democratic movement that can take on the rich and powerful – and win.

      Real change is coming.

      Jeremy Corbyn MP Zarah Sultana MP

    I see shoplifting has gone up by 20%

    I’m surprised at this because I thought shoplifting was no longer reported.
    The police aren’t interested and shops see shoplifters who are actually brought to Court get let off.
    I think shoplifters are allowed to steal £200 per shop.
    Shops can’t stop them because the thief will take the shop to Court and will always win, (the judges seem to like shoplifters)

    It’s the same with other crimes. People don’t report them because nothing happens.

    If only they put as much effort into catching and prosecuting criminals as they do in pouring over thousands of tweets and FB posts.

    I don’t believe any statistics coming out because they are all fiddled. We all know this.

    If I was Nigel I would publish all the true figures soon after he becomes PM in 2029 and we will confirm how crap everything is in today’s UK.
    As Reform haven’t governed before he will be completely blameless for the shocking true statistics so no reason not to make them public.
    He can then present honest figures and statistics regularly and we can start to believe what we are being told.

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – Black Sabbath originated Heavy Metal claims the BBC?

    So claims the BBC. But did Black Sabbath originate ‘Heavy Metal’ or was it King Crimson and Cream and Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin? I think the BBC are wrong about Black Sabbath. The critical year is 1970. Cream were around in 1968, King Crimson also. Led Zeppelin were formed in 1968 and were deemed ‘Heavy Metal’. The BBC are in error – again – and not for the first time, eg: Glastonbury etc, etc!

    BBC Londonistan highlight a district heating scheme. The bills are 30% higher than those available from normal tariffs.

    It’s another example of the true cost and failure of socialism. You’d think a district scheme should be cheaper – better buying capability, economy of scale. But somehow the state manages to make it more expensive.

    Of course the BBC angle is all personality driven, about the poor victims on the council estate …sob sob. Which approach achieves Jack all. They just cannot bring themselves to admit that it is a failure of socialism, the BBC’s favoured economic model. Big state, hide failings, no accountability, no customer focus, and very expensive.

    On the subject of the NHS I had a hospital appointment today. Nothing too serious. Four people from admin sat quietly on their computers. A rather bland lady attended me. We ambled from the waiting area into a nightingale type outpatients with curtains. All very serene and quiet. The main noise was four staff chatting about their holidays. As I exited there were a lot more people waiting.
    The idea that anyone I saw was under pressure, underpaid, hard pressed, and overworked is absolutely laughable.

    Meanwhile my appointment, sent by text with a URL link, had given the date, time, and hospital………but no clinic name!!!!! When I queried this, someone said ‘most people go to reception’. Of course they do! They don’t know where to go !!!!!
    No member of staff seemed willing to challenge this nonsense. A completely half-arsed attempt to bring the NHS up to date and save a bit of money completely collapses at the first hurdle.

You’d never know that Labour under Jezza’s rule was judged to be anti-Semitic and he himself was kicked out of Labour for being so….if that had been Farage the BBC would be roasting him all day long….as it is they mention Reform through gritted teeth and their analysis of the effect of the National Anti Zionist Intifada party is that it will be massive even if minimal in terms of votes…and remember the glorious Greens…they’re going to be big…but Reform?

    Yeah…remarkable….a long piece bigging up Corbyn’s vanity project….but…hmmm…no mention of why he was booted out of Labour just this very dishonest half-truth…

    ‘The pair stood down following the 2019 general election defeat, and Corbyn was later suspended from the party he joined as a teenager by his successor Sir Keir Starmer.’

    This a man who dragged his party so far into the dangerous darkness of the ’30’s with his anti-Semitism the whole party was officially condemned as anti-Semitic…and yet the BBC doesn’t damn them as ‘far-left’ or ‘extremists’ or ‘dangerous’ as it does Farage and Reform…it doesn’t give us ‘warnings from history’ in regard to Corbyn and his politics…he gets, as he did during the elections, a very easy ride and a narrative that hides his true nature and the extremism of his ideology.

      I think Friday sees the end of the Manchester airport trial – X reporters have been suggesting the judge is pressuring a not guilty in the summing up by pointing out the defendants have no previous – but by their conduct that wasn’t their first fight…

      I think we win both ways –

      If it’s a not guilty it further proves the corrupt TTK system – it might also help further demoralise the worthless plod

      If it’s a guilty the Pakis involved will get off on the full sentencing guidelines – being foreign imports they didn’t know what plod looked like in the ‘agony of the moment ‘ ….

      So they won’t get the sort of time Lucy Connolly got – who was / is also of good character – a pee poor ‘community ‘ sentence shouid also demoralise the enemy plod – another good thing .

      It won’t stop bus loads looking for soft white targets to arrest for the overtime and put before TTK 31 month prison judges . Advice – avoid plod – say nothing – choose the defence brief carefully – never plead guilty …

        I guess if the Manchester duo don’t get much of a sentence, a lot of people might be very very angry. Doesn’t Lucy Connolly get released soon?

        Sorry – used to have the video but it’s been removed. Gorka was chatting with Emily Maitlis and she was going on how Trump likes to floss – it was funny. You had to be there.

    “Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. ”

    Eye-rolls as Yvette Cooper attacks Reform for daring to criticise the police…this the Labour Party that has launched an inquiry into a 40 year old event during the coal miners’ strike…an inquiry targeted at the police…a purely political witch-hunt by Labour to appease its union paymasters….and of course an inquiry that will get uncritical coverage from the BBC…as long as it sticks to the BBC narrative of a brutal police force and miners as the victims of that brutality.
