    Haaaaaah……

    Goal-hangers-are-us…

    Seriously folks, I’ve just got back from the pub with two of my loveliest neighbours, and as the pub had been running a beer festival over the weekend, we were told that ‘everything must go’, so we – er – stayed, and while demolishing the biggest sandwich I’ve ever made, I came here of course!

    I have a blood test tomorrow, and hopefully the results won’t tell all…

    Thank you Uppers!

    I’ll publish the blood test result, along with the stats for the latest illegals, stabbers in Khaanistan, and the bBC’s catastrophic fall in TV tax money!

    I reckon my numbers will look pretty good against TTK’s utter failures…

      Every law now made is the opposite of what it says on the tin. We have a new ‘Border Security Act’ incoming. This to ensure our borders remain as porous as possible.

      The people outside the Britannia hotel have to go because they are causing ‘distress’ to the illegal invaders.

      Any chance the illegal invaders could be made to go because they are causing ‘distress’ to the locals?

    Tomo – excellent news – but why only ban protests at the Canary Wharf hotel ? Why not the rest of the country ? And why only 28 days ? Why not ‘for ever ‘?

    Plod must have a plan in place for mass arrests and mass custody if you – or i – want to register my disapproval of what the uniparty is doing …

    The descent in Britain is almost by the day . Crimes committed by invaders are going to be suppressed – in the same style as paki rape gangs – in fact they might land up in competition with them ……
    But the tide of righteous dissent can’t be held back for ever – there’ll always be another welch choir boy …

    Funny ( sad ) that I write the above using a filter in my head to circumvent the ever repressive British state ?

    The BBC have decided on the newest group of ‘victims’. And that they are hard done by.

    Victims of mis-sold car finance could get less than £950 per deal

    It doesn’t sound impartial to me.

    Headlines such as this – so jolly convenient and timely for our failing government – leave one little option but to conclude the BBC is now little more than a state-sponsored propaganda outlet…

    I regret taking my son to a riot following Southport attack, says stepmother (Darragh MacIntyre, BBC Panorama)

    During Mao Zedong’s rule in China, self-criticism was a common practice used as a tool of political control and ideological conformity. It was a key aspect of the Cultural Revolution and other campaigns, aiming to enforce Maoist ideology and suppress dissent. Individuals were often forced to publicly denounce their own perceived errors and shortcomings – thank you AI

    “I have no answer for it other than I’m an idiot, stupid, got caught up in the moment,” says Amy Hodgkinson-Hedgecox. She is trying to explain how she – a mother to two children who lives in Tamworth, Staffordshire – attended a riot with her son, then aged 11. Hodgkinson-Hedgecox is one of thousands of people to have been involved in violent protests that erupted last summer. (BBC) – One can almost visualise her standing in front of a baying lefty crowd shouting “migrants welcome here” with a placard around her neck reading “I’m an idiot” – so don’t say you haven’t been warned.

    On a lighter note, one shouldn’t laugh… but: The shocking picture that shames the NHS… Terrified pensioner, 82, sleeps with trap under her bed after rodent droppings found in her drawers (giveaway freebie Metro)

    How about the old gag how the police arrested a man on a charge of gangland activities – after they found Ginger Marks hiding in his underwear – there’s one for the teenagers.

    Of course exchange the headline: Rat horror for hospital gran… The shocking picture that shames the NHS – from the Metro and instead have it published frontpage of the in-the-tank-for-Labour Daily Mirror and the accompanying photograph would no doubt have featured a starving “resident doctor” wheelie bin dipping in the hospital kitchens just so as to supplement her starvation wages with a discarded snack.

    We can be heroes, just for one day – David Bowie, 1977

    In case you were wondering about today’s Mirror headline story…

    Blood donor crisis is over… You are all heroes… Mirror readers helped end the amber alert blood supply crisis

    It’s damned rare one ever hears a crisis is over – or averted – these days. Mind youwe tend to learn with experience how these amber alerts often turn out to be a bit of crying wolf.

    Let’s see how this one turns out: Weather warnings as Storm Floris to disrupt travel… an amber weather warning set to come into force (BBC)

    Prime Minister says UK guards free speech ‘preciously’ after Vance criticism (The Stanadard, February 2025); ‘Well, we’ve had free speech for a very, very long time in the United Kingdom and it will last for a very, very long time.’ (Daily Mail, February, 2025) – oh really?

    Teacher sacked after two-tier justice remark… after saying Lucy Connolly’s prison sentence was an example… dismissed after an internal investigation, prompted by a complaint from a representative of the National Education Union (Telegraph)

    Well, cheer up, Sir Keir, you can’t please all of the people, all of the time… and some people, are never satisfied.

    Oh, the commies at the BBC love this item, so much that they’ve given the non-story front-page cover on their webshite:

    “I regret taking my son to a riot following Southport attack, says stepmother.”

    Public confession for wrong-think; repentance and humiliation. Reminiscent of the Chinese ‘struggle sessions’ under that evil monster Mao.

    Public confessions were used to publicly shame individuals, force them to renounce their past beliefs, and demonstrate their commitment to the communist party. Also to ensure conformity to right-think and terrify the masses into submission.

    Hang your head in shame, you enemy of the people!

    Note: it’s interesting the BBC choose this moment for such an article, just when things are hotting up for more protests. A warning to any proles foolish enough to consider taking part?

    Just look at this. The BBC are actually making the ‘news’ they want then making it front-page, world headlines.

    This is the truth of it:
    ‘BBC Panorama contacted hundreds of people who took part in riots last year to ask them how they account for their actions. Many would not speak to us, saying they did not trust mainstream media; others were too ashamed or scared.’

    Yet the protests going on all over the country are not on the front page at all.

    100% pure left-wing activism. Why should we have to fund it ?.

    I see the ID Card issue is now firmly on the front burner. “Our Justin” interviews a representative from the Tony Bliar Institute who only outlines the, ‘shiny’ aspects of Tony Bliar’s efforts to impose ID cards.
    Just a limp biased effort by Justin, needless to say as our “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” is fully on board with the plan.
    But, one thing’s for sure, if the Marxist, dictatorial outfit in No.10 impose ID Cards, they’re sure to screw it up.

    How will the BBC manage? It will not be required when the daily news of all the Governments plans for everything always boil down to two words directed at the indigenous public: “Fu*k You”.

      “The jabs will first be offered to those at highest risk – mostly gay and bisexual men who have a history of multiple sexual partners or sexually transmitted infections. NHS England say the roll out is a world-first, and predict it could prevent as many as 100,000 cases, potentially saving the NHS almost £8m over the next decade.”
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgkrx6dnkkeo

      Chemsex refers to using specific drugs — often crystal methamphetamine (meth), mephedrone, and GHB/GBL — to enhance or prolong sexual activity, usually with multiple partners. It can involve long sessions, often lasting hours or days, and is most associated with gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM).

    Today –
    Monday morning – so TTK has to announce something – 20 billion trillion more to be spent on ‘intelligence ‘ about ‘stopping the boats .
    Labour HQ rolls out the ‘border minister ‘ Angela eagle . Angela has always been a nasty far left piece of work so she fits well with TTK . Her style is to have no style -not slowly drone on as though it’s ’just a minute ‘ . …. Up against her friend – comrade Robinson it’s no contest – Angela can talk for 20 minutes and promise nothing – spout meaningless statistics aimed at boring the listener to sleep .

    There was a high point – a lol moment when she claimed the regime cared about crimes against women and girls – and for an added laugh she mentioned the gob shite ‘Jessie Phillips ‘ who I think the Marxists have bricked up in a cellar somewhere – or maybe sent to Hamas .

    Anyway – Angela eagle went full 1984 – truth is lies – freedom of speech and protest – within the law of course – when the law now says there is no freedom of speech – no freedom of protest … plod just aching to get the riot gear on for the unapproved and issue some order under the TTK public order law with a TTK judge waiting to dole out 31 months to good British people …

    No one should have to support the BBC | (The Critic magazine)
    ‘In Ofcom’s latest Public Service Media (PSM) Review, published recently, it was revealed how little the younger generation now cares about our state broadcaster, the BBC. For 16-34 year olds, Netflix, YouTube and Disney+ rank higher than the BBC. The figures are even more stark for children. As the report notes “today’s 4-6-year-olds spend a larger proportion of their in-home viewing on YouTube (27 per cent) than they do on all public service broadcasters’ (PSBs) services combined (21 per cent)”, while “7-12 year olds spend over a third of their in-home viewing time (35 per cent) on YouTube and 13-15 year olds spend nearly half (49 per cent) on YouTube and TikTok.”

    Younger people simply aren’t consuming the BBC. Yet they may end up being forced to pay for it. If they consume live television — BBC or otherwise — through YouTube, or other streaming services, they will have to cough up. Even more extraordinarily, the government is refusing to rule out requiring Netflix and Disney+ users, even those who do not consume live television, to cough up for the licence fee as ministers scrabble around for anyway to fund the Beeb….

    https://thecritic.co.uk/no-one-should-have-to-support-the-bbc/

    And of course, its a hate crime if you refuse to pay for it. And if you do not watch it you may be forced to watch it in Jail. (Its free in any UK prison apparently and any government building – is totally free!). Adverts i heard on the radio (LBC) was a TV license Ad for the BBC (that states that watching any TV ENABLES you to watch any TV channel). Obviously untrue, you can watch ANY Channel excepts for the BBC channels, but I now suspect that is about to change. Any TV Channel (from around the world, is a hard ask). How will they enforce that?
    I would not be surprised to learn the GPO Radio license is being re-introduced to help fund the BBC.

    If you consume only UK MSM you will have almost no inkling of the once in a hundred year political storm that is about to break in the USA. It’s the reckoning for Russiagate and all the follow up dirty tricks that the Democrats played over the past eight years.
    I’m sure most site users have kept themselves upto date with developments over there but just in case anyone hasn’t. It looks almost certain that Hillary Clinton, James Clapper , the former Director of National Intelligence under Obama, Brennan the ex CIA director and Comey the ex FBI director , plus plenty of others, are going to be indicted for treason . Obama May escape due to executive privilege.
    Boatloads of documented evidence has been unearthed from within the FBI and CIA , plus whistle blowers , has been assembled for the prosecution. It’s billed as the greatest political scandal ever .

    Why isn’t it being reported in the UK? Because the MSM were complicit in the original false allegations and reported as true what they knew to be lies. But it going to take some explaining when the storm does break why has there been no hint of it over here!

    I wait to see how the msm explain themselves. No doubt their collective credibility will nose dive further.

    I wonder if those in government and beyond who support the potential recognition of Palestine/Hamas as a state in Gaza have looked at the photo released by Hamas of the starved Jewish hostage chap digging his own grave and wondered if they were making a sane, rational choice. Even Hamas have intimated that the creation of Palestine is a “Reward” for the October music festival butchery.

    If this wasn’t so deadly it would be laughable. I guess these people will have to accept that they must carry some responsibility for what ensues if it does come to pass.

        “The answer becomes as obvious as it is disturbing. They are hiding everything. It will be jarring for many to hear a scientist speak with such certainty. It should be jarring. We are trained to present ideas with caution as hypotheses in need of a test. But in this case, I have tested the idea, and I am as certain of it as I am of anything. We are being systematically blinded.”

        “It is the only explanation I have encountered that will not only describe the present, but also, in my experience, predicts the future with all but perfect accuracy. The pattern is a simple one. You can see it clearly and test it yourself. Every single institution dedicated to public truth-seeking is under simultaneous attack.”

        “They are all in a state of collapse. Every body of experts fails utterly. Individual experts who resist or worse in an attempt to return their institutions to sanity, they find themselves coerced into submission. If they won’t buckle, they are marginalized or forced out.”

        “Those outside of the institutions who either seek truth alone or who build new institutions with a truth seeking mission face merciless attacks on both their integrity and expertise. often by the very institutions whose mission they refuse to abandon. There is a saying in military circles, once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action.”

        “I have no doubt that given an hour, the people on this panel could point to 100 examples of the pattern I have just described, while finding even a handful of exceptions would pose a significant challenge. We are left in a fool’s paradise. Our research universities spend huge sums of public money to reach preordained conclusions.”

        “Professors teach only lessons that are consistent with wisdom students have picked up on TikTok, even when those lessons contradict the foundational principles of their disciplines. Once proud newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post only report important stories after they have become common knowledge.”

        “Morticians must now raise the alarm over patterns missed by medical examiners. The CDC has become an excellent guide to protecting your health, but only for people who realize you should do the opposite of whatever it advises. The courts, the last holdout in this ongoing inversion of reality, are now regularly used as a coercive weapon of elites against those who threaten them.”

        “We have literally witnessed the Department of Homeland Security attempt to set up a truth ministry and declare accurate critique of government as a kind of terrorism. To my fellow patriots in the West, The pattern is unmistakable.”

        “I cannot tell you with any certainty who they are or what they hope to accomplish, but I can tell you that we are being systematically denied the tools of enlightenment and the rights guaranteed in our Constitution. We, those who remain dedicated to the values of the West, must fight this battle courageously.”

        “And we must win. For if we do not stem the tide, the result will be a dark age. that differs from prior dark ages only in the power and sophistication of the coercive instruments wielded by those who will rule us.”

    BBC storyline….

    Israel launched a devastating war in Gaza…..

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crkznje8nz8o

    That is blatantly untrue….

    Hamas in fact launched the devastating war in Gaza when they murdered well over a thousand civilian Jews in cold blood and captured 100’s of Jewish hostages and took them back to Gaza. What the hell do the BBC think the response to that should have been? Why the hell are the BBC unwilling to present the truth with their misleading headlines?

      How do differences benefit us?
      There are lots of benefits to people having lots of differences.

      Listening to different people around us teaches us to be more understanding of our differences.

      Spending time with people different to us lets us to take part in new things such as trying new types of food. (1400 raped girls experienced a new culture)
