Jeremy Corbyn. What an especially odious and revolting man he is.
What I find particularly disturbing is the level of support he has, especially among the young. It’s a clear indication of the deterioration of British society. People are blind to the fact that his ideas would lead to the destruction of Britain if implemented. The BBC and education system are to blame.

You’d think that would be the goto quote for all…but the BBC tells us Trump says it’s great to be in Scotland and only way way down the page does it mention his comments about immigration….almost like they hope you won’t read that far down.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8g8w431wyo
How sickening to hear Trump praise Starmer.
I know, in politics you have to swallow hard and shake hands with vermin, but still, nauseating.
“Speaking about Sir Keir Starmer, who he is due to meet on Monday, he said: “I like your prime minister. He’s slightly more liberal than I am – as you probably heard – but he’s a good man. He got a trade deal done.”‘
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8g8w431wyo
Vlad, I too wish Trump could turn up all guns blazing (so to speak).
He should at least make Starmer and the rest of them apologise abjectly for their shameful comments and past behaviour towards him, and lick his boots a bit.
They used to say the camera never lies. Then came photoshop and now AI. A starving baby in Gaza being held by its mother like a Madonna and child. I don’t think the pose was accidental. Is the photo real? I don’t know but when the Princess of Wales put out a photo of her children where she had dared to tidy up a sleeve, the photo stock companies put out press releases to say they wouldn’t use the photo. But if the photo is real, do we know it came out of Gaza? And if it did come out of Gaza, was it a starving child, or a poorly child. We know in Lebanon Hizbollah stored bodies of dead children in refrigerated lorries to present to the World’s press. Except they hadn’t died from the war with Israel. We have evidence that Hamas and Hezbollah are not afraid to use dead children for their propaganda. So if this sick child was in Gaza, why couldn’t the mother get food. Perhaps Hamas wouldn’t allow it.
So the far Left and the press are eager to blame the Israelis. I wish they would hold other countries to account so easily.
Madonna Ciccone with Malawi in Bethlehem, Palestine.
Bethlehem. Hebrew meaning “house of bread” There has never been a language called Palestinian.
Tuned in to listen to Tony Blackburn this morning and had to endure the BBC news first.
Top item : celebrating France going to recognise Palestine.
Second item : Trumps visit.
One might expect the visit to be the top news then the Left-wing terrorists ‘protests’ (= intimidation and threats) to be added on the end.
But no: first we get 36 seconds about the protests including painstaking detail about all the bad things they accuse Trump of followed by 12 seconds about the visit itself. He is explicitly accused of ‘undermining democracy’, ‘casuing climate change’ and he is even responsible for the ‘war crimes in Gaza’. No evidence needed at the BBC when you are just quoting someone else.
The BBC are totally out of control now. They know nobody will do anything to stop them because the takeover of the entire establishment by the Left is almost complete now. Anyone who stood in their way has been removed. Only Nigel has clung on despite a huge campaign of hate against him.

Cluster bombs: Ukraine using munitions ‘effectively’, says US… Ukraine has promised the munitions will only be used to dislodge concentrations of Russian enemy soldiers. (BBC) – nothing to worry about there then.

Thanks for the review . I was watching an enthusiastic crowd greeting president trump last night . The cameras – of course – were hoping he’d stumble coming down the stairs of AF1.
He must be looking forward to the golf – but not so much having meet TTK ….
… any way – Today Watch – off switch – I won’t listen to constant Hamas propaganda – nor crap about 4th rate girl football – another BBC approved subject – girl football and Islamic terrorist groups – so very BBC …Off switch …
AISI, the Daily Telegraph on-line gives the lie to the so-called fact of starving Palestinians in Gaza. The DT or someone else has flown a drone over over a site in Palestine ( you need to scroll half way down the DT’s page, reached via a link thru’ BBC News to the Papers) that has food trucks lined up and bundles of food sacks rotting in the sun. Meanwhile the MSM including our BBC which apparently belongs to Palestinians claim “There is no food in Gaza.”
Seems the main issue is not enough Toyota flatbeds* being shipped over to Hamas for ‘distribution’. And, of course, 2 state ‘Peace’

OK, it’s the Guardian – you know the other cheek is very, very similar…
Blimey – the things people write to keep their “job” ….
Britainistan hasn’t even tasted ‘Islamophobia ‘ yet – if – when – it comes – it will be shocking …. Right 77 brigade ?
Btw – back to President trump – thank goodness TTK doesn’t do golf – imagine having to do 18 holes with that …..?
Last I saw of him having a photo op putter in Cannyyadayada he had six caddies, and the UK has no wedge.
I dread to think what TTK would offer Trump as the 19th hole.
In other news, the Ukranian rent-boys familiar with TTK’s home and cars story has disappeared without any questions being asked. And the trial is not until April next year !!!. And as far as I can tell for this highly-suppressed story, they are all in prison – without bail – until then. Is that normal for setting fire to a car and a porchway ?.
So many stories stink to high heaven these days.
As I was writing I wondered what TTK would do with 18 holes but thought it too much to write …. TTK will ask President Trump to use the USAF to bomb New Israel ( previously Gaza ) with food . He ll be told not to feed Hamas …. But TTK will go ahead anyway – pork sausages might be most appropriate …
Fed, TTK’s policies are full of holes anywway. The seem to rely on the taxpayer!

Import the third world, get more third world MPs bringing in more third world to keep voting them in, held to account by kindergarten media eager to get up on the roof.
Per plan.
What. A. Shambles.
Zoe is the ‘journalist’ who on the BBC several years ago said she was a member of the intellectual elite and that of course it was perfectly acceptable that people should spit at Tory MPs and throw milk shakes at Farage.
Of course she does write for the Guardian so perhaps she really is intellectually superior to her colleagues but is too ill mannered to keep it to herself.
Well Zoe Williams it’s become socially acceptable or flourishing as you put it, because in the name of Islam little girls get stabbed to death at a dance class and our young get blown up at a concert.
But maybe you and your type prefer to look the other way.
The signs abound that the ordinary Brit is finally, at long last, beginning to see what is being done to them by the ruling elite, the real power brokers, and their stooges in Westminster and the legacy media.
More and more ordinary people are having the courage to say that immigration is destroying our country . Even elements of the legacy media are daring to say that those who voice this opinion might have a point and aren’t necessarily right wing racist maniacs.
The establishment is realising that it is losing control of the narrative . I note that the attacks on Farage and Reform are not, as I expected, intensifying but moderating. I suspect that the power brokers are now scared that the immigration issue might unleash forces which will sweep them away and hope that Reform , distasteful to them as it is, might be a compromise which moderates these forces and which they can initially live with and in the long term hope to manipulate.
The hotter the immigration issue becomes the more likely that the power brokers will cosy up to Reform , walk away from the Uniparty and push for an early General Election.
We don’t know how easily Reform can be manipulated .We don’t know if Farage’s ‘softening ‘ of Reform on Islam was a tactical master stroke to reduce power broker opposition or if it was a disastrous long term policy shift.
But things are moving quickly and whilst Starmer’s goose isn’t yet cooked it’s in the oven!
Double – im deeply suspicious of any apparent ‘acceptance of concern ‘ about the invasion voiced by the swamp – it seems like part of the psychological warfare strategy to say ‘it’s okay -we re listening to you- we ll fix it ‘ when nothing will change and the invasion will continue ….
There’s only one thing they will understand – and when that happens the concentration will be on the ‘victims ‘ and brutal retribution of those declared culpable .

“Dead Ringers took limp swipes at the ‘Scotch egg debate’ and COVID absurdities, but it never mocked the government-stoked panic. There was no effort to contextualise the fear. By then, cancel culture had peaked. Surveillance was high, media servility higher. Dissenters—questioning COVID’s severity or lockdowns—faced punitive measures.
Like the BBC, Dead Ringers is now a ghost of its former self: once a gleeful assassin of pomposity, now a cautious apologist for orthodoxy. It tiptoes around once-ripe targets, fearing the BBC’s censors and social media’s wrath. Satire, to have any value, must dare to offend—at least occasionally, and at least the right people.”

There’s some spicy replies to that post – young Wes not been caught paying for pleasure yet…
Have I got this right.
According to the msm, there is hundreds of tons of food ready for distribution in Gaza but the Israeli’s are surrounding it and taking pot shots at women and children who are dying of thirst and starvation and are trying to get a drink or a crust to stay alive. Only the women and children of course, never Hamas fighters.
The Israeli’s are only bombing hospitals and schools, anywhere there are only women and children.
That’s the picture the msm are painting.
Now, ask yourselves, why would Israel target women and children. They are no threat and would get huge bad press if it were actually true.
I don’t believe our msm.
Just ask yourself. If you were taken out of your home here in UK and dropped in any one of the Middle Eastern Countries, which is the only one you would feel safe in even though its neighbours keep sending missiles in all the time.
There’s only one civilised Country there.
EG
The propaganda is absolutely relentless – even the independent reportage is highly partisan.
Trying to sort out what to believe is stressful….
I have had exactly the same train of thought, It makes no sense for Israel to act as they are accused. I am surprised all these “leaders” inside the UN can’t see the farce of all the false guff being generated by Hamas for what it is. Could it be that they are secretly just working towards the end of Israel as a nation?

MM, that is complete twaddle! Al Gore is another de-brained idiot like Minibrain.
Is there some sort of remedial school, which hands out little badges for nutters like this?
We all know that Milliband is a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic, and that Al Gore irons his underpants on Tuesdays, but why these loops keep getting so much air-time escapes me!
I can only suppose they’re in it for the money!
Why can’t these idiots actually get out there, work at a real job, and create wealth for the whole of their respective nations, instead of farting around with stuff they clearly don’t understand!
What a panel of mutually back slapping arseholes! Gore is literally insane and in a normal country would be ignored. He is spouting utter drivel and a sane MSM would deride his ridiculous rhetoric but this is what we have come to.
Sorry Doc, I said the above before reading yours, which is much better than mine!

More on Starmer’s Science Secretary who threatened to shut down X earlier this week:
This is Peter Kyle. He’s in charge UK tech policy and he may be one of the most conflicted figures in Westminster.
A case in point…
In February, his department awarded a £2,300,000 contract to Faculty AI—the same company that donated £36,000 to him in May 2024.
What was the contract for?
Amongst other things, “analysing social media narratives”.
It’s linked to the government’s infamous Counter Disinformation Unit—the shadowy operation that blacklisted and sought to censor dissenters during Covid.
Worse yet?
Another tech-linked firm, Public Digital, donated £66,000 to Kyle in 2024. The company then seconded an expert, Emily Middleton, to work in his office.
She later became Director General of Kyle’s department—on a taxpayer-funded salary north of £128,000.
So a minister in charge of tech receives tens of thousands from a tech company—then later signs off on a multi-million-pound contract for them.
Not only that, he receives an even higher donation from another tech company (Public Digital) and then gives a job (with a huge salary) to a person from that same company.
It might come as no surprise that Public Digital subsequently received a government contract worth £5,000,000 last month.
The cherry on top?
He’s also held meetings with Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister who appears hellbent on introducing digital ID cards for every person in the country.
Incestuous much…
It has been suggested that this governemnt wants and needs to create an ‘immigration crisis’- that will only be solved by –“ID cards” – as the ‘final solution!; i.e. they (immigrants) will all get immediate UK identity and forever ‘free’ benefits/lodging/food/ money – but this will be then linked to EU data tracking. This I think is the plan – and the reason they need this idiot (Peter Kyle – above) is to roll out the platform. Of course, its not for ‘us’ yet. Just for illegal immigrants. We English will come later and that is when it will become compulsory to carry an ID card if requested and to show it by a public official. Shades of NAZI Germany, and by not complying, well history repeats. ID cards will show where you come from, food, address, money and benefits and crucially – how far you can travel in Europe. All this is also part of net zero!!!
Data racking needs a huge AI platform to track and trace every ID card. This is the Brave New World.

STARTS Sorry to keep banging on about how much worse things were in Britain in the 1970s. This must be like being lectured by your grandmother on how their generation survived the Blitz. But for those who lived through that pre-modern era when ordinary people were held hostage by titanic monopoly powers against which elected governments appeared to be helpless, it is difficult to see today’s problems as the end of the world. It wasn’t just the daily power outages which brought darkness and the shut down of all electrical equipment for hours at a time. There were as well the horrendous economic pressures which put today’s difficulties into a sobering perspective.
It may be true – as the young point out with some bitterness – that property was unbelievably cheap. At the end of the 1960s, it was possible to buy a suburban house in London for under £10,000. (TEN THOUSAND POUNDS.) The first great property boom soon quadrupled those prices but even in 1979 you could buy a four bedroomed semi-detached house in a good neighbourhood for around £50,000. But that home owning idyll is deceptive. What followed was a staggering, scarcely credible by today’s standards, rise in inflation. At its height in 1975, the inflation rate was 26.9 per cent – which makes the obsessive concern over today’s inflation increases look rather silly. What did that mean for all those people who had bought their homes at what we would now consider absurdly low prices? Their mortgages which had originally been linked realistically to their incomes – and all their household bills which were also being hit by the inflationary spiral – became terrifyingly unaffordable.
This was a personal, familial crisis for countless households who suddenly discovered that they could not go on living as they had reasonably expected to do. The cost of their homes was suddenly way beyond the reach of their pay levels. The quality of life and the purchasing power of even well paid people, crashed with a suddenness that was deranging. It was now almost impossible for a mortgaged household to survive on one income so women had no choice but to go out to work. (Even though most mortgage lenders at the time would not take a wife’s income into account which made practical planning problematic.)
But it was not only the economics that was going badly wrong. The later 60s and the 70s produced some ugly social dynamics that are scarcely recalled now, perhaps because they are so shaming. There were menacing mobs of skinheads whose racism and anti-social delinquency were blatantly violent. My husband and I once stood over a pair of Asian boys on the tube to shield them from a pack of shaven headed thugs who were threatening to pull them off the train. Somehow London had gone from its world-conquering moment in the Swinging Sixties to this: rubbish piling up in the streets, endless transport strikes and a great many people deciding that it was time to leave the country forever. Those who lament today that “nothing works” can scarcely imagine the havoc of unreliability that was everyday life in that chaotic decade.
The antagonism toward the trade unions and the closed shop nationalised industries famously dominated the historic account of this awful period but what may be forgotten is the political despair that accompanied it. A succession of governments and party leaders had revealed themselves, to the disgust of the electorate, to be utterly useless. The 60s as we remember them had got under way with Harold Wilson who seemed to have achieved a fairly jolly accommodation with the most powerful trades unions. The “beer and sandwiches at Number 10” technique of conciliation and kinship – which actually involved caving in to most union demands to avert strike action – seemed to offer some kind of sustainable mode of operation. Until it didn’t. The unions would not be bought off indefinitely and their growing militancy was undermining major British industries like car manufacturing.
The country then turned, more in desperation than hope, to the Conservatives under Edward Heath who promised legislation to curb the spread of disruptive union activism. When that proved an ineffectual disaster Harold Wilson was returned to power. He then retired from office (due sadly to the onset of dementia) and was followed by James Callaghan who had the misfortune to preside over the 1979 Winter of Discontent. The deterioration of confidence in the political leadership of the country, by this time, seemed irreversible.
It was genuinely believed by a great many responsible people that national decline was not just inevitable but was already fully under way, and that this was attributable to the low standard of government performance: lack of conviction, failure of nerve and the poverty of ideas for dealing with the modern, post-imperial world. And what is more, this low standard was believed to be incurable. British politics was exhausted intellectually and morally.
You know what happened next. The Callaghan government lost a vote of confidence in the House (dramatically by one vote). A general election followed which was won by Margaret Thatcher’s new model Conservative party and – not overnight but over a period of several years – confidence was restored not just in the economic future but in the possibility of effective government. British politics was not dead after all: it had simply sunk into a defeatist depression. The Left which had been broken and demoralised first by its experience in government and then by the public renunciation of its trades union wing which had propelled the Thatcher Tories into power, now had to reinvent itself.
First came the Social Democrats with their extreme Centrism, who were determined to “break the mould” of party politics – which is to say, replace Labour and challenge the Tories’ all out commitment to free markets. A lot of initial excitement was generated by this development, but it subsided into a footnote as the Thatcherite spirit of the 1980s swept it aside. Finally, Tony Blair’s plagiarism of the Tory philosophy brought Labour back into the game. And so, confidence in recognisable party politics returned. What it took was nerve and fresh ideas. There must be a lesson there.ENDS

If you think you deserve your pay to be increased using 2008 levels and you are using your priveliged position to hold the government to ransom you will have noticed the vast majority of the Country is against you.
Why don’t you change your demand to giving EVERYBODY in the Country pay rises to match their pay to 2008 levels and not just yourselves.
Surely everybody should be treated the same or do you think you are better than the rest of the population.
If you strike for everybody to have the same huge increase that you lot want I think you’ll find most of the Country will support you.
Another thing about that, it could include all the fat cat directors etc pay awards which mean they are getting far more than the 2008 equivalent and they would have their pay reduced.
Eg – I think they should just go get a better paying job – train driver or politician comes to mind …..
Why do the MPs keep telling us Trump likes TTK.
He HAS to say something nice about TTK.
He can’t simply say “He’s a useless twat” or some other truth.
Trump said nice things about Putin and Rocket Man but it doesn’t mean he likes them, it’s just diplomacy.
It would be good fun if we got to hear what Trump really thinks about the likes of TTK.
He’s probably disappointed in Charlie as well. Going from Elizabeth to Charlie is like going from a petrol car to an ev car.

Yes the X response wasn’t sympathetic – I think it’s an excellent example of due process and appropriate economical punishment – but then im what they call a ‘classics criminologist ( which translates into the hang em / flog em brigade ) – with proper non woke proper law enforcement ….
This explains what happened.

“Luke Sharman, who I interviewed to exposed the Brook and Norwich hotels, was also arrested at a similar time for ‘Affray.’
Hope Not Hate published this material

The arrests were timed to stop them getting to a demo
The Norfolk police the same bunch that arrested for murder Tony Martin the Norfolk Farmer who was burgled multiple times finally shooting two robbers, and never had help from the police.
A completely useless waste of our taxes.

The Mail reports that three “Brits” have been arrested for rape in Croatia.
Their names: Ami Arifi, Gezhim Xhafa, and Sohqib Shakibi.
How far into the article do you have to get to find out they are actually from Kosovo?
…. The last paragraph.
Ever notice BBC presenters on English pronunciation? Reportin’ on conflict spreadin’ and repeated use of goanna and wanna 5pm news. And almost all of them use ‘lets’ rather than ‘let us’.

Manchester trial , good thread about contempt of court from the judge
#1 You are not supposed to prejudice a trial by talking about PAST convictions or unconvictions
#2 If the CPS had chosen to timetable a trial first the first event where they hit the guy in Starbucks, then they would already have a conviction before this trial about hitting the police

The British Labour Party reveals details of an upcoming ‘Orwellian’ emergency ‘Pandemic Exercise’ similar to ‘Event 201’ that preceded COVID
‘Exercise Pegasus’ is the largest pandemic response exercise in British history, and is to take place over multiple days between September and November 2025. ‘Exercise Pegasus’ will span all regions and government departments in the U.K., and will involve opening a “resilience academy” to train over 4,000 people from public and private sectors annually in emergency roles. It includes developing a national “vulnerability map” to highlight populations most at risk in a crisis, using data on age, disability, ethnicity and whether the person is vaccinated.
‘Exercise Pegasus’ will also test its ability to instantaneously reach its citizens by sending an emergency alert to all 87 million cellphones in Britain at once, warning people about a deadly VIRUS and ordering the people to stay at home to ‘protect the NHS’ until the government has forced everyone to get an mRNA vaccine.
The socialist government has plans to close down American social media sites like ‘X’ so as to prevent doctors and the U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, from spreading misinformation, disinformation and malinformation about the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines, and criticising regulatory corruption and authoritarian public health policies.
The BBC lead, Trusted News Initiative (TNI) will contribute to ‘Exercise Pegasus’ by censoring criticism of the ‘World Health Organisation’ and Bill Gates. In 2019, Bill Gates helped organise an exercise of four simulations of a worldwide pandemic. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, said, participants primarily focused on planning industry-centric, fearmongering, police-state strategies for managing an imaginary global coronavirus contagion culminating in mass censorship of social media.
The Pandemic exercise, referred to as Event 201, included representatives from the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, various media powerhouses, the Chinese government, a former CIA/National Security Agency director, vaccine maker Johnson & Johnson, the finance and biosecurity industries and Edelman, the world’s leading corporate PR firm.
However, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Gates claimed the simulation didn’t occur, saying “We didn’t simulate this, we didn’t practice”, One segment of Gates Event 201 script focused on the manipulation and control of public opinion. The presumption among participants was that such a crisis would provide an opportunity to promote new vaccines and tighten state controls by use of surveillance and controls on the movement of the Amish and other unvaccinated people: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/uk-pandemic-excercise-pegasus-similar-event-201-covid
Oooh, great. I don’t have a mobile phone, and have no desire or intention to get one.
I just turned emergency alerts off.
Could someone tell these 4,000 people from public and private sectors that to save the human race they have been selected to colonise a new planet, then Elon Musk can blast them off to space.
They surely won’t be missed.
Richard: The WHO Pandemic treaty was only just composed on the 19th of this month. I signed a petition against it that disappeared, it never had any UK public debate and yet i am not sure it was ever approved by Starmer unless in secret. But maybe the UN and WHO think they have the power to make global lock-downs again. This I doubt very much, Ukraine kick off has changed everything and those (Marxists and Trotss) that worshiped Russia are now ‘kow-towing’ – to China – as the new global player. UnlikelyChina/ Israel/Gaza/Israel to surrender to the UN demands. And China needs to sell us more net zero stuff. Windmills, Solar panels, Ev’s etc. Millibands future is at stake. Profits to be made, which link DIRECTLY back to SOROS. The Miliband ‘bros’ are linked to profits from net zero, but it all rests on ever more public funds.
Still heads up! The the more of us that know it – then we can inspire resistance. The BBC is on its last legs financially, trust is at an all time low. Its future even under lock down is not assured. They cannot lock us all up.
Not all politicians are that stupid. They just want an easy life. EU pension.

Sod all this religious twaddle from the limp-wristed Beeboids and the arch-lefties, I’m off to have a bacon sandwich and a few glasses of white.
I’m also going to watch a decent flick*on my DVD player, but if anyone calls by, just shout, and another full glass will be in front of them in seconds!
(*Might watch ‘Margin Call’ again, as Brissles said it was a great film, and she’s always right!)

Jesus H Christ : what an utterly sexist pile of poo from the BBC’s ‘James Gallagher’. It’s 100% lopsided feminist claptrap. Oh how unfair life it to women. Say a gaggle of university bods anyway who in actuality know very little about ‘life’ beyond the sheltered bubble staying as a teacher all your life brings.
Here he is from his now-classic article ‘How our noisy world is seriously damaging our health’
What a grade-A turkey. If the taxpayer funded, extreme-Left BBC wasn’t here to employ him, this man would be utterly useless to anybody.
Do they cover the girls being kicked in the bollocks?
Used to be fun with ‘Wives versus Husbands’ at Boxing Day rugby so I’m told…
Usual Beeboid trash I’m afraid, it’s to be expected that they can’t really put ‘programmes’ together these days, without consulting the Sith Floor, No 10, Mohammed street, and tiresome idiots like Corbyn or his shouty Raisin d’etre…

They really did not think this one through.
Of our times, As the BBC decides not to use English as the standard and offers several ‘pidgeon english’ dialects and foreign Arabic channels, all paid by the UK white man or woman under the ‘state imposed’ – BBC TV license is becoming an increasing strain on its finances. More and more of us re switching off, never to come back. The BBC are aware of this and they think the Tik-Tok generation will be willing pay the TV license! As we all know they don’t pay for anything, its all on YouTube. Plus they have no money, they may never work. yes they get a vote at 16. But they cannot be bothered to vote. What is the point?
So will immigrants pay for the BBC? lets find out….
“The story of Liverpool mirrors that of so many other towns and cities across the nation. In the space of a few years its white population has declined by 20%. Rapes have doubled. Arabic is now the second language of the city”.
Presented by journalist and author Peter Lloyd. New Culture Forum.
We are slowly being erased…. and as we all know the Islam does not pay for anything and that includes the BBC.
Apparently the first Hamas airdrop is taking place very soon . They’ve been asked what is their priority . They say there is a shortage of Jacob’s cream crackers and after 8 mints so the first 10 tons is sorted . Hamas also says there is a desperate shortage of green tea bags so that’s the second drop …
The third drop will resupply scotch eggs
The propaganda picture of a child they starved to get a ‘response ‘ had worked really well with woke liberals falling over themselves to support Islamic Hamas …
Keep going IDF …
This sudden deluge of ‘news’ about ‘starvation’ caused by Israel for all the poor civilians in Gaza is just repulsive. It is no coincidence whatsoever that it has started because Hamas have scuppered peace talks yet again.
The UN should be dismantled and rebuilt after this complete farce. As should the extreme-Left BBC who are utterly complicit in hiding their complete failure to do their job – yet still take $3.75 billion a year to do it.
Terrorist have built concrete tunnels and fighting positions in UN hospitals, UN schools and UN refugee camps which the UN MUST have known about yet did nothing to stop them. They readily allow trucks of aid to be taken by Hamas who then sell it on the black market to fund their terrorism. And that in turn means the innocent civilians are starving because they can’t afford it – even though there is plenty of food.
And the BBC hide all of that and spin a narrative that it is all Israels fault. They don’t give a shit about those civilians starving. If they exposed Hamas and the UN for what they are in all the reports, their international support would collapse and they would stop doing it.
But that doesn’t match the narrative. So they keep on with the lies while people die.
And not a single UN person in charge has resigned for what they have done. While the BBC never even report it. Contrast that with the daily ‘live updates’ because Boris was stood near a wine bottle.
The BBC disgust me. They are the absolute worst kind of hypocrites. The blood in Gaza is on their hands. If they called out Hamas for what they are every time they did it, their support would have collapsed long ago. Instead the BBC’s support has made them keep going. Bowen and Keane and the vile Yolanda Knell are drenched in the blood of innocent women and children.
I could not agree more… the BBC are total scum!
BBC libmob side counts the FEELINGS
… whilst the other side count the FACTS
Just watched the first 100% Muslim focused tv commercial from the biggest US burger takeaway/drive through outlet in the UK.
Astounding considering what’s happening in the Middle East right now.
