    Has the prison service leaked Lucy Connolly s home address yet ? Only a matter of time – if not them it will be the Islamic home office or CPS … And I bet she s fully ‘surveilled ‘…

    Judging by the Marxist playbook they’ll find a neighbour or parent of a kid she cared for to undermine / slur her . Maybe it will be in the Sunday papers… I’d guess the mail the most likely …

    “Protests over the use of hotels for housing asylum seekers have been held across the UK.
    Demonstrators gathered in parts of England including Bristol, Liverpool and London, as well as in Mold in Wales, Perth in Scotland and County Antrim in Northern Ireland.
    Police stepped in to keep opposing groups separated in many places where anti-racism campaigners mounted counter-demonstrations.”

    “There isn’t a “Section 5A” in the Public Order Act 1986; the relevant section is Section 5, which makes it an offense to use threatening, abusive, or disorderly behaviour, or display offensive writings, within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm, or distress. This is a less serious, summary-only offense, meaning it cannot lead to imprisonment and is heard in the Magistrates’ Court. ”

        ‘Gay’ police horse case dropped
        A student who called a mounted policeman’s horse “gay” will not be prosecuted, it has been revealed.
        But police have stood by their decision to take Sam Brown to court for making “homophobic comments” despite the Crown Prosecution Service dropping the case.

        Mr Brown, 21, a student at Oxford University, had said to an officer: “Excuse me, do you realise your horse is gay?”

        Police took the case to court after Mr Brown refused to pay a £80 fine.

        Rowan Atkinson on free speech

        “The Christian Institute spearheaded the Reform Section 5 campaign to get the word ‘insulting’ removed from Section 5 of the Public Order Act, as part of the Crime and Courts Bill.

        After a lengthy campaign, which included support from celebrities including Rowan Atkinson and Stephen Fry, the then Home Secretary Theresa May eventually agreed. The change is now incorporated in Section 57 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 which came into force on 1 February 2014.”

        ……………..

        Victory!

        The Reform Section 5 campaign succeeded in its aim to amend Section 5. The change is now incorporated in Section 57 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 which will come into force on 1 February 2014.
        http://reformsection5.org.uk/

        Are you breaking the law?
        “Insulting words or behaviour” are outlawed by Section 5, and this is having a chilling effect on free speech right across our country, in a wide range of communities. The law rightly protects us against unjust discrimination, incitement and violence. It should not be used to protect us from having our feelings hurt. It’s time to reform Section 5.

    ‘Far-left’ BBC is nasty.

    ‘Far-right’ Churchillian ideology, includes a strong belief in the defence of national democracy, freedom and free speech, and a deep scepticism of totalitarianism, marxism, communism and all forms of socialism, both ‘nasty socialism and soviet socialism’, Churchill describing them “as alike as two peas”, and comparing them to the characters “Tweedledee and Tweedledum”. Far Right ideology also includes support for Christianity, Happiness, Family, Truth, Love, Peace, Patriotism, Medical Freedom and the Nuremberg Code.

    ‘Far-left’ Marxist Ideology, includes a strong belief in authority, marxism, communism and all forms of socialism, including ‘nasty socialism and soviet socialism’. ‘Far-left’ ideology also includes State Control, Censorship, Lawfare, Brainwashing, Perversion, Propaganda, Hatred, War, Treason and Compulsory Vaccination.

    Two Churchillian ‘Far-right’ victories over Germany: (1) 1945: Churchill’s ‘Far-right’ victory over the ‘Far-left’ Hitler and his Nasty Socialist German Workers Party. (2) 1989: Thatcher’s ‘Far-right’ victory over the ‘Far-left’ Honecker and his horrible Socialist Unity Party.

    ‘Far-left’ Hitler said, “We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance”

    ‘Far-right’ Winston Churchill, said “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery”

    Today, the definition of a ‘Socialist’ is someone who is middle-class, funded by the state, hates working-class white people, wants to ban popular political parties, supports wars, identifies with Islamic ideology, and loves Satanic Big-Pharma because of drug culture, vaccines and the gender bending chemicals that give ‘Pride’ in flying a rainbow flag.

    Let’s kick off this Sunday review of the news with a couple of rather well honed journalistic ‘despites’

    Vladimir Putin and his Russian forces continue their assault on Ukraine, launching air strikes despite the ongoing peace negotiations (Telegraph) – in other words: “It ain’t over till it’s over”

    Top civil servants in the Home Office have pocketed huge pay rises and bonuses despite Britain’s migrant crisis spiralling out of control (Sunday Express)

    Despite is if course a favourite trick deployed by our news bunnies so as to link in our minds two notions in a sarcastic or ironic sense.

    Here Come the Girls, Song by Ernie K-Doe (1971)

    Our BBC may this week have been asking: GCSE results: Why are girls’ results dipping? (Hazel Shearing, Education correspondent & Hayley Clarke, Education reporter, BBC) – but don’t take it too personally, luvs.

    Meanwhile, commenters hereabouts may habitually chastise our BBC for their exotic Getty Images photo selections but those vaguely conservative Sunday papers go with some very blonde young ladies for their frontpage colour feature pics this morning. And for once it’s all totally acceptable for our regime’s agenda. In fact, it’s…

    Legally Blonde, (2001) When Elle, a sorority queen, is dumped by her boyfriend as he plans to go to law school, she enrols in the same school to win him back. However, she discovers that there is more to her than her looks.

    Sunday Telegraph goes with: Yaroslava, daughter of a Ukrainian soldier… Today marks 24 years since the country left the Soviet Union

    Flower Power

    Sunday Times goes with: Surrounded by sunflowers – her national flower – Maria Anastasiia Mikulska… marks Ukraine’s 34th Independence day in Swansea – surely our Maria Anastasiia ought now to be described as a Welsh Flower Girl?

    So are we celebrating a 24 or 34 year anniversary? Your guess is as good as mine. Journos were never very precise with the numbers.

    Rayner shells out £800,000 for her third home (Mail on Sunday); Deputy PM buys THIRD home for more than £700k (Sun) – well, at least we’re agreed it’s her home number 3. Let’s hope our Ange is more accurate on her tax returns.

    But we digress somewhat from girls news.

    Your Mr AsI prides himeself on his somewhat jaded and very base conservative world view – yet when complaining to a friend about Netflix new show Hostage having cast two females in the roles of both the British PM and French president, in some plot where a husband is kidnapped… Mr AsI was out done by the friend who speculated “so you think the ‘husband’ will played by a man?”

    How could we overlook the sapphic aspect?

    The wives who are World Cup rivals… “You are teammates at club, wives in real life and now rivals going into a World Cup. How helpful is having your partner also being a rugby player? So with this Wolrd Cup the message is you want each other to do as well as possible, unless you’re playing each other?” (BBC) – our BBC there doing nothing to dispell the suspicion that wimmin’s rugger is the preserve of a few beafy butch lesbians.

      Don’t ask then you don’t get.

      “Former Wales rugby star Gareth Thomas has admitted he did not tell his ex-partner he had HIV, but said he was never asked, according to High Court legal papers. The ex-British and Irish Lions captain is being sued by his ex-partner Ian Baum for £150,000 in damages.”

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62786614
      4 September 2022

      Mr Thomas, also known as Alfie, said while he knew he had the virus, he did not think he was able to pass it on.

      “The defendant genuinely and reasonably believed that he could not transmit the condition to others whilst his CD4 count (a measure of immune function) was not at a dangerous level requiring medication.

      “Whilst the defendant understands now that this was incorrect, it was a genuinely held belief at the material time.”

    There was a fire at a cathedral in Spain….a Cathedral that used to be a mosque.

    The BBC’s Sunday programme starts off just discussing the fire but not long before it enters the culture wars and they start attacking the Christians who run the Cathedral.

    We are told that ‘Muslims entered Spain before ending up governing the land’……or put it another way…Muslims invaded, conquered and colonised Spain and forced their religion and rule upon the people of Spain. Curious this take on the Muslim empire…the BBC loves it…contrast how they report the British empire…it would be bloodthristy, greedy colonisers slaughtering the locals before imposing an oppressive and violent rule upon them.

    The BBC wheels in a Muslim who wishes to pray at the Cathedral…a dangerous idea that the BBC is clearly looking to promote….in a way they would never do for, say, the Jews and Temple Mount.

    We are told the Catholic authorities are trying to cover up the Muslim past of the Cathedral…hmmmm…clearly the BBC hasn’t seen the official website which is completely open about it once being a mosque…

    https://mezquita-catedraldecordoba.es/en/descubre-el-monumento/el-edificio/

    Oh but wait…before it was a Mosque it was…a church…not mentioned by the BBC….and note they still call it a mosque…

    ‘The Mezquita, or Great Mosque in the Spanish city of Cordoba is a unique jewel of both Islamic and Christian architecture.’

    An irony that the BBC accuses the Church of rewriting history by erasing the Muslim history[which is a lie] when the BBC itself is actually rewriting history in order to present it in a positive light for Muslims.

    This is a classic example of what the West is up against…our ‘elite’ appeasing and excusing Islamic oppression and supremacy whilst denigrating our own society and culture.

    The sheer dishonesty of the BBC…R4’s ‘Radical with Amol Rajan’….

    ‘Homelessness is on the rise in Britian with record numbers of people living in emergency accommodation.

    Sabrina Cohen-Hatton, Chief Fire Officer of the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, spent time sleeping rough on the streets of Newport in Wales as a teenager.

    Now, she is working to end homelessness and stop people getting stuck in poverty. ‘

    140,000 homeless and rising….but not a mention of the illegal invasion and the red carpet put out for them…the hotels, the private accomodation laid on for them at huge cost as our own homeless are left to rot on the streets.

    A long section in the programme about homelessness and yet nothing about the national emergency as foreigners grab the housing and resources.

    A curious omission by the BBC…or not as we see what must be a concerted effort by government and friendly media to downplay and dismiss concerns about the invaders….the BBC asserting that it is the ‘protestors who are the problem’ and that the invaders are ‘vulnerable people being targeted by the far-right protestors’. Times Radio is nothing if not worse than the BBC and is fully batting for the invaders….stupid and ignorant Brits think illegals outnumber the legals…no, no we don’t…and it’s only 10% of migration that is illegal…a mere 10%…nothing to see here.

    Always odd how they never mention the crime, the cultural and social downsides, the massive pressure this influx puts on services and of course the massive actual cost in monetary terms as billions are spent on these chancers whilst our taxes are hiked and hiked and hiked to pay for it all.

    What we get is a constant drip feed of ‘positive news’ about what Labour is doing to ‘stop the boats’ [er sod all]…lots of tinkering at the edges, more efficient processing of claims etc, but not actually stopping the problem at source…ie stopping the boats getting here in the first place….these invaders are ‘French’…they have no documents and come from France…send them back to their homes…in France.

    LOl….compare and contrast…US Supreme Court, ‘right leaning’, rules that the homeless can be moved on or arrested…BBC’s original reaction was….’oh no…right wing heartless bastards’.

    June 2024…

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj774nxrpy7o

    ‘The US Supreme Court has ruled in a 6-3 vote along ideological lines that cities can ban homeless people from sleeping rough.’

    Note this little lie by omission…

    ‘Homelessness is on the rise in the US, fuelled in part by chronic shortages of affordable housing.’

    Hmmm…maybe it was the massive influx of millions of illegal migrants that tipped the balance…no?

    Now one year later and the BBC is onside…claimng the woke nut Newsome is the hero of this…whilst Trump is copying his great genius….

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2kz4d0vwlzo

    ‘For years, visitors to San Francisco have been struck by the number of rough sleepers and tent encampments on sidewalks.

    But one year into a more aggressive crackdown, many streets look very different. Now President Donald Trump – who has mocked the city for its problems – is taking a page out of San Francisco’s playbook.’

    Problem is of course that the court case came out of Oregon not California…and it was the ‘ideological’, Trump leaning Supreme Court that made the ruling….sooo…it is Newsome who is ‘taking a page out of Trump’s playbook’…given that Trump has always criticised Newsome and California for its encouragement of homeless camps.

    Trump 2019….

    ‘President Donald Trump in an interview with Fox News painted a dark picture of people “living in hell” due to homelessness in major U.S. cities, claiming that it is “a phenomenon that started two years ago,” blaming Democratic mayors for the problem.

    “We may intercede,” Trump said. “We may do something to get that whole thing cleaned up.

    ……..(September 12, 2019, Washington, DC) – On Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that President Trump ordered White House officials to “crack down” on homeless encampments in California. While the Law Center agrees that unsheltered homelessness is a crisis in California and across the country, we are concerned about the Administration’s plans to displace people without real attention to alternatives.”‘

    The BBC’s anti-Trump derangement fully on show as it constantly seeks out ways to make Trump into the bad guy.

    Hmmmm….well stop them even landing here then. Getting their feet on our land [and their hands] and then trying to deport them will never work as the lawyers and media launch the defence….thus we need to get out of the ECHR and change our own laws to stop them claiming.

    Fair do’s to the government for this tweak…but what’s implied by this and not mentioned by the BBC is that tribunal judges are infamous for their pro-migrants rulings that allow them to stay, even if they are dangerous criminals, on the most tenuous of reasons…

    ‘The government is planning an overhaul of the asylum appeals system as it tries to cut the number of migrants staying in hotels while they await a ruling.

    A new, independent body will be established, staffed by independent adjudicators, with the aim of hearing cases more quickly.’

    The Telegraph headline story….

    ‘Rachel Reeves ‘heading towards IMF bailout’ ‘

    The BBC mentions it…in passing…in ‘what the papers say’…

    ‘”Reeves ‘heading for IMF bailout'” reads the Sunday Telegraph, after the paper spoke to a leading economist ahead of Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ autumn budget. Professor Jagjit Chadha, former head of the National Institute for Economic and Social Research, warned that the economy was at risk of “collapse”, and said the situation was “as perilous as the period leading up to the IMF loan of 1976”.’

    You might think this would warrant a real exploration and report by the BBC…but there’s zilch…not a word about it or the state of the economy. When the Tories were in power a 0.3% rise in GDP would have the BBC declaring ‘recession’, economy shrinking, slump and slowdown…whilst Wrecker Reeves gets a much more positive approach…the economy is ‘expanding’, things are looking good, the future is bright.

    We have a national broadcaster that is Labour through and through.

    IPSO has today been contacted by a representative acting on behalf of Charlie Stayt (see below). Editors may be aware that Mr Stayt is one of the presenters of BBC Breakfast.

    Mr Stayt has expressed concern about the conduct of photographers outside his workplace. In light of this, he requests that the press do not approach him for comment or photograph him when he is entering and exiting his place of work. He also requests that editors do not purchase or publish photographs which have been taken in such circumstances – and, if they are unsure about the provenance of any photographs of him, he requests that they contact Press.office@bbc.co.uk for clarification.

    We are happy to make editors aware of this request and note the terms of Clause 2 (Privacy) and Clause 3 (Harassment) of the Editors’ Code of Practice.
    ************

    Two things of interest to me here:
    1) Taking photos in a public place is not illegal and I am unsure how this would be enforced.
    2) The BBC often turn up at a subject’s place of work and photograph them.

    Double standards, again? No, the BBC has far more than that.

    For years I’ve watched as the assault on free association has rolled forwards in the UK and Ireland. It seemed clear to me that elements of the state viewed pubs as hotbeds of discontent where troublemakers spread their poison…

    People said I was being paranoid

    Yes, there are other factors – but this seems to indicate that sections of the establishment do I feel view any place that people associate in an uncontrolled way as a threat ?

    The BBC is guilty of this….she pleaded guilty thus she is guilty and you can all shut up…she’s a terrorist…

    ‘A woman who was jailed for stirring up racial hatred in the aftermath of the Southport attack has been released from prison.

    Lucy Connolly, 42, whose husband serves on Northampton Town Council, pleaded guilty in September after posting the expletive-ridden message on X the day three girls were stabbed to death in July 2024.

    Connolly, from Northampton, called for “mass deportation now” and urged her followers on X to “set fire” to hotels housing asylum seekers.’

    Irony the BBC reports Starmer’s words without comment…

    ‘ “Sentencing is a matter for our courts, and I celebrate the fact that we have independent courts in this country.’

    Not at all independent…the courts and the sentences they handed out were directly influenced by Starmer’s rhetoric about the riots and protests…an irony considering the claim that they could not release any information about Rudakubana in case it influenced the court case.

    I’m a bleeding-heart liberal. I’m pro-immigration and I love the fact that the country I live in offers asylum to the oppressed.….Tonight my partner and I walked home from my sister-in-law’s.

    ……………..

    I’m a bleeding-heart liberal. I’m pro-immigration and I love the fact that the country I live in offers asylum to the oppressed.

    My life and my surroundings are better because of people whose parents or grandparents came to the UK from the Middle East or Africa. Despite cultural differences or skin colour, they were still primarily British.

    As a working-class kid, I was part of one of the first generations to experience mixed-race schooling and culture. It was the perfect antidote to the excesses of racism from the generation before me.

    But that is not what is happening now. What is happening now is completely different. A large, undefined number of foreign, fighting-age men are being transplanted into working-class towns.

    That has just happened in the northwest Manchester town where I live. In the last 48 hours, it has become obvious that a local hotel has been turned into an immigrant HMO.

    Tonight my partner and I walked home from my sister-in-law’s. The walk takes 15 minutes. Passing the hotel, and the streets beyond it, we were met with an endless stream of Middle Eastern men, speaking another language and leering at my partner. She was in a summer dress. The stares were entirely inappropriate.

    It felt like running a gauntlet. She felt unsafe, and I found myself staring down every man we passed. When we finally got through, she told me, “I would have felt really unsafe if you weren’t here.”

    That is the first time she has ever said that to me on any walk home. From anywhere.

    Hardly a surprise, but after Glasgow Airport arrivals I had to rethink all my notions of education, even in the face of indoctrination, leading to more informed actions in Western societies.

    The young are impressionable, but these are sodding MDs who after years of hard work in science pop to the fun place weekly to have their brains rewired.

    And the young are freaky too. If mine had been invited to off themselves for a Sky Fairy and make Mum proud the response would have been short.

    The Government has announced it will try to end placing illegal migrants in hotels by the end of this parliament.

    It states that currently 32000 migrants are in hotels.

    If my maths are anywhere near accurate at say an average modest cost of £50 a day for each migrant that makes a grand total of £1.6 million pounds A DAY!

    So over the course of this government an eye-watering amount of UK taxpayers cash (some billions!) will have been spaffed supporting people who have absolutely no right to be in this Country at all while it’s all-round tax increases for everyone else.

    You could not make this shit up. Any decent government would have stopped and reversed this travesty a bloody long time ago.

    Getting all these people back to where they came from should be happening right now!

    One wonders how the promise by TTK to stop putting invaders in hotels will pan out . The easiest thing ( for them ) is to dump the invaders on councils – TTK – after all is on record saying there is plenty of accommodation .

    The consequential disorder of flats full of uncontrolled invaders at war with their neighbours – is going to give plod a migraine – after all that protection they’ve been given invaders abd their fans they’ll have to do battle with them – good .

    The alternative is the army camp – this has the advantage of appearing tough – but the invaders will leg it and land up in thr nearest towns committing even more crime – again – another migraine for plod -who will eventually be forced to Do something

    Inevitably as the invaders are given permission to stay the prisons will be under even more pressure than now …

    Bleak – isn’t it ? There is a remedy – but no one has the resolve to do what needs to be done …

      Shoving the illegals out into the shires is a big problem for Pigster, because there are local elections well before the marxists are kicked out for good, and there may not be many leftie councils around to let these foreign spongers stay in their boroughs…

      I’m researching the issue with Tunbridge Wells, and yes, they have allowed some of the original Afghans, (those from the first tranche of British Supporters for their translation help etc., some time ago), but so far, I haven’t seen any other hotels being used, or HMOs.

      The MP is Mike Martin, a Lib Dem, so watch this space.

      Pigster is on a loser at every turn, and as the whole of the marxist cabal wasters are swanning around the EU, or buying the third house, the UK burns…

    I just watched on ” Talking Pictures” possibly the
    most spectacular adventure film after Lawrence of
    Arabia to come out of the UK film industry and it was
    made in 1939.
    I’m afraid we would not be able to see it on the BBC.
    Because of political correctness Just like ” North West
    Frontier” with the stereotype Indian train drive Gupta
    and a Muslim terrorist. Then ” The Dam Busters” is
    another NO NO. With Squadron Leader Guy Gibson’s
    black Labrador having the unfortunate name of N***er.
    And we hear at least three or four times ” Come here N***er.
    And unless it is cut out or N***er dubbed to Digger. The film
    would never be shown on any channel.
    Anyway the film I just saw was ” The Four Feathers” . I wont
    go into the full details. But it’s about bravery , supposed cowardice. Culminating in the 1898 battle of Omdurman .
    Where General Kitchener’s Anglo- Egyptian forces beat
    the Dervishes and the Fuz** Wu*****. I am not sure if
    I am allowed to write the names actually said during the film several times. Without the ” Thought Police” paying me a visit.
    BUT the worse thing that happens in the film . Which would get
    it banned by the BBC. Is that when the British prisoners escape
    from their prison in Omdurman. They raise the Union Jack
    on the ramparts in Omdurman.
    Just as an appendage the film was made again at least twice
    in the subsequent decades. Where in one ” Storm over the Nile.
    They used the absolutely terrific battle scenes from the 1939
    film.
