      ” to ensure the capital is as prepared as possible for the impact of the climate crisis, wildfires and extreme heat.”

      Well, then, NLM Khaaan, start with making the tube a cooler, safer, place, and stop ignoring the filthy, illegal pollution in those trains and tunnels, which is killing far more citizens than you’ll ever admit?

      Can you do that?

      Of course you can’t, you silly little twonk…

    Get real, Beeboids, just face the facts that the UK has the worst government in modern times, and one bent on ruining farmers with excruciating costs, and the fear of future financial uncertainty with lack of investment; consumers, who are blasted with ridiculous climate scams, and the costs of paying for ruinous ‘green’ mayhem, and the hatred of all UK industry for delivering items, like fuel, gas and oil!

    In less than four years, the knees of our beloved country will be well and truly bent to the ground, and Pigster’s marxist calamity will be the death of far more British Citizens than can ever be imagined.

    The ridiculous beeboid ‘reporting’, (i.e. instructions from Mohammed Strasser) is absolutely laughable, but seeing the sort of refugees being used as reporters, is it surprising?

    “Asylum hotel closures may shift cost to councils, councillors warn” BBC 2023
    Local authorities may have to house migrants in the very same hotels the government has announced it will no longer use, councillors have warned. The government plans to end contracts with 50 hotels housing asylum seekers by the end of the year. Official figures show hiring these hotels cost the taxpayer ÂŁ8m a day.

    ÂŁ8m a day – paying tax for the rapists to rape your kids
    ÂŁ8m a day – paying tax for the rapists to rape your kids
    ÂŁ8m a day – paying tax for the rapists to rape your kids

    Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Immigration minister Robert Jenrick said the government was “standing up cheaper and more appropriate forms of accommodation – instead of being housed in sometimes luxurious hotels, asylum seekers will be housed in disused military sites and barges like in Portland”.

    Well, it’s very nearly that time of the year again when the nation celebrates at The Notting Hill Carnival. Is anyone here going by any chance? No, me neither…

    Instead, every Wednesday afternoon throughout July and August, I’ve been enjoying a different style of music in a very different location; the brass bands in the beautiful cloister gardens at Westminster Abbey.

    To gain access to the gardens you have to traverse the long dark cloistered corridors, where so many of our great and good in our country’s long history are interred. I always find it really poignant as I tiptoe around these ancient graves.

    It’s different in other ways too…I haven’t seen a single policeman unhappily twerking, there is never any reek of cannabis, everyone queues politely to gain access…oh, and thus far…no one has been stabbed.

    It’s the last band of the season next Wednesday and I’m going to miss it.

    It’s like being back in England…

      Portobello Road in Notting Hill, famous for its outdoor antiques stalls, was fitted in July with what the local council called “hostile vehicle mitigation measures” – 31 concrete barriers to deter vehicle attacks on the area.

We have to intentionally pretend we don’t know some of the things we do know. And we have to pretend that the next person likely to blow up an airplane is as much the 87 year old Swedish great great grandmother as those that 4four 27 year old Imams, newly arrived from Syria screaming Allah Akbar just before they board the plane.”

    Perfectly antisemitic crafted headline on BBC home page amounts to….. “Israeli military prepare for “””assault””” on Gaza”….

    Assault being a very loaded and accusative word suggesting that Israel wants to wage war with the civilian population in Gaza.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyr7l0z9edo

    Translation….

    Israeli military prepare to rid Gaza of the cowardly, murdering, lying, warped, bastards hiding in tunnels and killing people on both sides to advance their twisted pseudo religious satanic cause.

    The World is a much better place without these worms.

    Telegraph heading…

    ‘BBC wrong not to call Hamas terrorists, says former head of news’

    BBC heading…

    ”Chilling’ political interference in BBC must stop, says former news boss’

    The BBC repoirt barely mentions the ‘terrorism’ comments…which is remarkable given the furore around it…and it’s buried nearly at the bottom of the page…

    ‘Referring to a debate early in the conflict about the BBC’s use of language, Harding said he thought it the BBC was “wrong not to use the word ‘terrorist’ for the attacks of October 7th; journalists shouldn’t censor words, but use them accurately”. ‘

    Today also headlined with the ‘chilling attack on the BBC’ line and failed to mention at all the comment on ‘terrorism’.

    A classic example of why the BBC cannot be trusted given that its reporting is always shaped to protect itself and its worldview rather than honest, accurate and truthful news.

      Old complaint I sent to BBC in 2019….6 years ago… same story

      Dear Winston Smith at the BBC ÂŁ3.5bn UK News Service Department,

      I noticed on the BBC news (2jul2019) you showed the opening of the EU Parliament and The Brexit Party facing the opposite way (outward looking) to the other MEPs (inward looking) and went on to show the Liberal Demoracts Party wearing bright yellow t-shirts front side only (not yellow vests).

      May I point out three bits of omission as it was a former employee of yours that said “Omission was the greatest lie.”.

      1) You showed the Liberal Democrats t-shirts but did not display what was on the back .. B*LL*CKS TO BREXIT. I added stars incase your system blocks swear words. This is missing the point that grown ups are swearing in Parliament.

      2) Your complaints page has been missing for at least two weeks that shows your omissions and corrections in 2018 like the one where you said NHS nurse but in fact she was a Labour Activist.
      http://www.bbc.co.uk/corporate2/helpandfeedback/corrections_clarifications/corrections_2018

      3) I see MEP Magid Magid got refused entry to the EU Parliament, but the article shows a nice t-shirt (IMMIGRANTS MAKE BRITAIN GREAT) and not the one he wore which was “F**K FASCISM” when trying to enter Parliament.

      From these 3 cases I hope you can see that omission lets the BBC tell a different story and can elevate those in favour and bring scorn to those out of favour.

      I know this email is on its way to the BBC Memory Hole but hope that at least one person in the BBC, you Winston, get a chance to raise an eyebrow.

      Many Thanks,
      A BBC TV License Tax payer helping the Few like Gary Lineker, Not the Many like the over 75s.

      “Asked during Prime Minister’s Questions whether her imprisonment was an “efficient or fair use” of prison, Starmer said: “Sentencing is a matter for our courts, and I celebrate the fact that we have independent courts in this country.

      “I am strongly in favour of free speech, we’ve had free speech in this country for a very long time and we protect it fiercely.

      “But I am equally against incitement to violence against other people. I will always support the action taken by our police and courts to keep our streets and people safe.””

      Oh yeah? Vylan? Ricky?

      The proper press will have a field day with Lucy’s release, the leftie rags not quite so, but they’ll start bigging up the stabfest weekend instead.

      BTW, why isn’t the far-left bBC saying anything about Lucy Connolly’s expected release? Surely their taxpayers want to know don’t they?

    TOADY Watch #1 – why, oh why BBC?

    The BBC are concerned for a Somali illegal immigrant in one of the asylum hotels, apparently. No concern that he entered the country illegally without travel documents or passport or visa. No, the BBC are worried about the man not about whether he will commit crimes while he seeks ‘asylum’. No concern for the residents and schools that he is housed nearby.

    So official inflation increases to 3.8%. Every person in Britain that shops and buys services will be aware that inflation is ripping away under this Government and is undoubtedly far higher in most of our experiences. However the Bank of England just decided to reduce their lending rate to 4% despite their inflation target being 2%. Given that inflation is a disguised tax perhaps they are giving Reeves et all a free ride?

    Canada sounding not too brilliant these days:

    https://www.steynonline.com/15535/live-around-the-planet-wednesday-august-20th

    Dear Laura, holy cow what a disaster is Canada now. With the story out of Lindsay, Ontario this morning, I started wondering just what rights are left for Canadians.

    The home owner can no longer protect himself, truck drivers couldn’t protest without receiving punitive financial damages, the organizer was jailed, other protestors were assaulted by the police, the defacers of monuments got the free pass, the Hamas supporters were permitted their rallies, pastors couldn’t keep their churches open during the pandemic, the government supports assisted suicide, transgendering surgeries, men in women’s private spaces, pushing fake stories about how Canadian white supremacists killed children and buried them in a mass grave.

    I’m not sure what other reasons I need to avoid a visit to our so-called democracy loving neighbor up north. Is there anything I missed while I was sort of paying attention? Can you set me straight where I’m wrong? Shalom shalom.

    Chuffing Nora the Dogger Bank Windfarm A has started to produce power according to:

    https://renewables-map.robinhawkes.com/#5/54.77/1.91

    Trying to get Google AI to tell you how much energy it produced on a month by month basis for 2025 is a hoot. This is like listening to a bBC broadcast where it tells you about capacity and commercial sensitivity etc etc.

    This is right out of a bBC script:

    Several factors prevent providing you with a definitive month-by-month table of the actual energy production for Dogger Bank Wind Farm for 2025:
    Ongoing Phased Construction: The Dogger Bank project is being built in three distinct phases (A, B, and C). While Dogger Bank A began producing some power in October 2023, its full completion has been delayed until the second half of 2025. This means that for the early months of 2025, Dogger Bank A would not have been operating at full capacity. Dogger Bank B is expected to begin producing power in 2025 but will not be fully commercially operational until 2026. Dogger Bank C will not be commercially operational until 2027. Therefore, the total monthly generation will be progressively increasing throughout the year as more turbines are installed and commissioned

    Not BBC – Rachel

    The Rachel department is continue ing to put out rumours about the forth coming tax grab in the October ‘fiscal event ‘ – budget – with a 50 billion self created hole to fill .

    The latest one is the resurrection of the 25% tax free cash take – to be killed off – when a person trades in their personal pension .
    The Marxists – as can be expected – can’t keep their hands of personal pensions – and really trying to kill off the pension industry .

    I know that a lot of people are already trading in their pensions knowing damn well Rachel will tank the economy and markets – im glad I did mine – but it took a year . Im not advising – but anyone might be wise to review their situation – it’s only 8 weeks to huge state theft through taxes – but there are ‘free ‘ breakfast clubs for all …

The Telegraph reported, external Sir Keir got a special “tax unregistered” pension scheme when he stood down as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in 2013.

    I don’t think we should be overjoyed/deluded over the Epping Council victory regarding the illegal immigrant Hotel victory. The Government has a number of options to continue hotel use, there’s appeal, Supreme Court, issuing new planning guidance, taking emergency powers or legislation perhaps via Statutory Instrument. It will be quite easy for them technically, perhaps not so easy politically.

    In 2024, the most common origin region of asylum seekers was Asia and the most common single nationality was Pakistani, followed by Afghan. In previous recent years, the Middle East was the most common origin region, with Syrian and Iranian the most common nationalities.

    So that’s all Muslim then.

    Teacher sacked after criticising ‘two-tier justice’ in Lucy Connolly case
    https://freespeechunion.org/teacher-sacked-after-criticising-two-tier-justice-in-lucy-connolly-case/

    A teacher has been sacked following a trade union complaint about social media posts in which he criticised “two-tier policing” in the case of Lucy Connolly – the woman jailed for 31 months last year after posting an offensive message about a mosque in Southport that was widely condemned across the political spectrum.

    ….. who taught English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) at Preston College, was dismissed after an internal investigation triggered by a formal complaint from a Muslim representative of the National Education Union (NEU). The complaint alleged that Mr Pearson’s posts were “Islamophobic” and “racially discriminatory”…………..contrasting Connolly’s treatment with the perceived tolerance shown towards “certain sections of society calling for the genocide of Jews”, who, he claimed, were “free to express their opinions and make Jewish people afraid to walk the streets”.

    Posted….“If these people have no respect for the police and UK laws they need deporting back to their ancestral home and their property confiscated by the state,” he wrote. “They deserved all they got in return and more. The police deserve a medal.”

    Toby Young… “The most striking aspect of this case is that the teacher was sacked at the behest of the NEU. (PAY FOR PROTECTION, THEN THEY TURN ON YOU, PAYING FOR THE ROPE TO HANG YOURSELF)”
