      I’m here, I’m here, Uppers!

      Congratulations!

      Daaah, daa daa daa daa-dadeda-da…. etc etc…

      What a day to remember our pilots, plotters, commanders, ground staff, bowser-drivers, and real fighters for Great Britain.

      What a shame that they’re denigrated nowadays in favour of the hordes of foreign invaders allowed in by a disgraceful, feeble, negligent, ‘government’, welcoming the piddling little rubber boats, all swanning over the very English Channel, where so many of our brave fighters lost their lives, trying to save our beloved country…

        Scrobie, hear hear! Well said. Had My delinquent computer and broadband made a faster connection I was going to add to my post that the BBC have demonstrated their bias over the sad killing of Charlie Kirk. He was described first as a Conservative then he was categorised by the BBC as Far Right and then with ‘extreme views’, whatever they are. No such courtesy extended to Tommy Robinson. He is described straight away by the BBC as Far Right in print and verbally on air.

        The BBC are over paid, over manned and should be made just plain over. Defund the BBC. Cancel that TV Licence, the TellyTax! Gavin and Stacey were on the front page of a newspaper last week as they were going to make £8 million for filming a series for Netflix! Slebs are well paid enough from TV to pay for the BBC all on their own!

    Robinson tapping into disquiet in the country, says minister
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cnvr5782yp3o

    An absolutely classic BBC article using quotations from someone else to push a completely BS narrative as truth. They’ve done it many times in Gaza and it has been so successful, it is now in general use.

    Basically they don’t give a shit if what the person says is very obviously complete bullshit as long as it matches their agenda.

    Lets see what they included for this article:

    ‘Figures such as far-right activist Tommy Robinson are touching into a “sense of disquiet” in the country’
    What nonsense. Tommy saus what he thinks and people agree with him. He is not playing any trick to ‘touch into disquiet’.

    ‘ after thousands joined a march and counter-protest in London on Saturday.’
    Again inferring equivalence between the two. It was hundreds of thousands for the march and 5,000 for the counter protest. And probably even more unbalanced than that knowing what liars the BBC are.

    ‘”What worries me most is the divisions in our society and other societies and other democratic societies… it’s not even the left and the right at the moment,” he told the programme.’

    100% false. It is absolutely between Left and Right.

    ‘”A lot of it goes back to its roots in the financial crisis and the impact that had on communities around the country, and we haven’t been able to bring our communities back together again since,”‘

    WTF ???. It has NOTHING to do with the finanacial crisis. It is ALL about Leftist fascism from th elikes of the BBC. Undesired views are simply not tolerated. When was the last time we saw a positive BBC report on Farage or a negative one on Starmer ?.

    The artticle then proceeds to give an extraordinary amount of column inches to the arrests. 24 people from hundreds of thousands.

    ‘Three of the 24 people arrested were women and the rest were men, while the youngest and oldest people detained at the protest were aged 19 and 58 respectively, the Met said on Sunday.’

    Is that really the most important thing to report for such an extraordinary event BBC ???.

    They then give an entire paragraph to this:
    ‘Several people were arrested for more than one offence’
    WTF again !!.

    And of course they repeated the same thing about Tommy they are putting in every article. It must be a directive on one of those memos:
    ‘Robinson was released from prison earlier this year after being jailed in October for ignoring an order not to repeat false claims about a Syrian refugee, who had successfully sued him for libel.’.

    The same author also wrote this : an article with a totally different tone:
    ‘We will never surrender our flag, Sir Keir Starmer says’
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3vz91x5ynzo

    ‘Britain will not surrender its flag to those who wish to use it as a symbol of violence, fear and division, Sir Keir Starmer has said.’

    Another propaganda article which more or less repeats ALL the same rhetoric and proaganda of all the other BBC articles on the topic. Clearly the text has been produced by the central team and passed to the idiots to include it in their reports.

    Nothing can change until the BBC are stopped. They are too powerful due to their billions of compulsory funding from the public.

      The inverted logic really does smack of desperation – particularly by who ever writes TTKs comments …. The truth is the need for people to openly express their nationality – in a way which hasn’t really been necessary when Britain wasn’t being stolen by the likes of TTK – and the blue ones from the decade plus before ….
      And as for the attack on Tommy Robinson – his duty has been to do the job the legacy media should have been doing but actually covered up .

      He hasn’t been ā€˜tapping in ā€˜ to ā€˜disquiet ā€˜ he has been showing the truth which – in turn – rightfully caused disquiet – as well as what British people are seeing themselves – see Southport .

        Tommy’s Unite Rally was a magnificent achievement in scale, organisation and content. The recitation of the young girl in her banned Union flag dress was a master stroke and starkly demonstrated how far our country has fallen.Yet again he deserves the thanks of the whole country. Tommy has grown in stature enormously over the years and has become a consummate political leader.
        Elon Musk and the wide range of European politicians he had on stage was staggering. I never thought that I would hear such a powerful condemnation of Islam as we got from the Belgian MP .
        The establishment has been rattled by Southport, by Epping and I am sure by the size of this rally. Their beliefs are under increasing challenge by the British people. People of every European country are challenging the Globalist settlement of the last thirty or forty years. This anti Globalism is championed and supported by President Trump and his administration.
        If the establishment does nothing about the challenge they will be overthrown very quickly so they must and will respond. But the USA is a major constraint on their freedom of action. Locking up more Lucy Connollys or imprisoning Tommy again now carries huge political risk . Clamping down on free speech will incur US wrath and they can’t afford that.
        One question which interests me is how Farage will respond over the next few weeks and months. He may not soften his approach to Tommy directly but has the rally demonstrated to him that he ought to move further right on culture, immigration and Islam to catch up with where the people are moving?
        Finally, Starmer and his ship of fools are becoming a national scandal and a national joke . You don’t own the flag you tool . We all know that you hate our country and we hate you in return. Just fuck off.

          Double – let’s face it – the msm will attack Farage / Reform whatever he says or does . But his badge has got the ā€˜momentum ā€˜ …
          He has decided to walk a tightrope and try to be ā€˜moderately right ā€˜ to capture a ā€˜respectable image ā€˜ for the middle ground voter . A mistake ?

          After what people have gone through – are going through – the next election will be ā€˜anyone but the uniparty ā€˜ which should give him an open goal . The barrier to this is lack of cabinet level material as well as policies – reform really has to move faster dealing with this weakness …

          These are his priorities ( in my view )
          Clean the judiciary to with draw from all invader treaties
          Stop the boats and deport
          Stop the Green crap
          Square up the public sector –
          Fix plod
          End state broadcasting

          A huge job .

            Your list of Reform priorities is spot on and certainly enough for the first Parliament.
            I wonder if much of this could be wrapped into a British written constitution which protected free speech and returned us to English Common Law .
            I would also like to see Islamification stopped.

    Large numbers of illegal immigrants have been placed in Stoke on Trent. 224 housed in hotels and a further approximately 800 dispersed in other accommodation although obtaining accurate, up to date figures is difficult.I would assume that many of them will congregate in limited areas.
    Coming to your street soon.

    Who knew it was possible to make Bohemian Rhapsody even more pompous and self-indulgent…?

    And could somebody explain why the many fervent EU supporters sing Rule Britannia and Land Of Hope And Glory with such vigour? I am surprised they are even there, but then I suspect the BBC welcome them. Probably get free tickets too…

    I really am old enough and ugly enough to know better, but…

    There’s a new “dark humoured thriller” on ITV. It’s getting rave reviews, so I thought I’ll take a gander. Oh, come on Jeff, will you never learn?

    Opening scene, a children’s playground with a pleasant looking white dad pushing his mixed race children on the swings. Here we go, I thought…I was right…

    Within seconds there’s an assault by an ugly shaven haired white thug punching a woman on the nose and displaying all the stereotypical loutish behaviour that trendy middle-class lefties attribute to my cast; a knuckle dragging neanderthal. According to these telly people we’re all like it. If any other group was constantly portrayed in this way there’d be outrage. Enough!

      I feel your pain Jeff. I invested almost 6 hours watching the first season of Netflix drama Departure – a collab with Canadian TV. Lead female is Archie Punjabi a go to Asian actress seen in most UK dramas.

      One scene was so ridiculous – it was the ultimate United Nations of characters – the aforementioned Asian investigator – a black man as a security expert- a Chinese wife and a white fella. This prompted me to write a comment (as I often do) in the Review section of IMDB ……… it was rejected.

      I couldn’t suffer the agony of sitting through the following 2 seasons

    What is all this “breaks silence” rubbish that pops up everywhere? By commenting on something after it happens is not “breaking silence” its just saying something. Breaking silence sounds like someone has been dying to say something but has been gagged or ordered to stay silent untill in a fit of rage they have to say something.

    It is something that Orwell defines as a dying metaphor a metaphor that isn’t dead , but has been worn out and is used because it saves people the trouble of inventing an original phrase for themselves. In short, a cliche

    Proudly displayed on the BBC webshite is ā€˜My wife died giving birth after Trump cut funding to our clinic’. Very sad for the family obviously but of zero worldwide importance or interest. Happened in Afghanistan. How deep did the BBC have to dig to find that? It’s Donald’s personal fault of course and another stick for the BBC to beat him with. Pathetic. PS I really hope he shuns the BBC on his forthcoming visit and hits them with some well-aimed swipes.

    March numbers
    I am looking at community notes on posts

    A lefty one actually posts maths
    Core area (~0.25 km²) Ɨ avg. density (2.5/m²) = ~62,500 in frame

    He’s dropped a decimal point there in his result

    He’s saying the surface area on the crowd in drone footage is 0.25Km²
    ie a 1Km road 250 wide, or a 3Km column 80m wide or 5Km x 50m wide etc

    in such a box the metre count is 250m x 1000m ie 250,000m²
    if each 1m² has 2.5 people then that is 625,000 people total

    My guess is ultimately there is a kind of D notice on numbers
    the government cannot afford to admit that there was such a huge anti-government crowd

    But then the apparent deleted police tweet about 3 million people seems way off too
    A crowd of 3 million walking down a 50m wide road would take tens of hours

      One thing about the size of the crowd which puzzles me is that both the Guardian and Telegraph continue the fiction that only 110 to 150 k attended. But both show on their websites drone footage of the totality of the crowd and only a fool would believe that 100 k people could somehow create such a vast crowd . The drone footage clearly shows that the crowd was many times larger than the official estimate.
      Why did these new outlets shoot their own story in the foot?

      So the British never knew what fish were untill the Portuguese told us. As for a German Royal Family every monarch since George II were English. As for fish and chips they may have been introduced by Spanish Jews during the 16th century. But we have adopted them as a dish since the early 1800s If you go back enough then I expect the Spanish Jews took the idea from some other culture. It does not stop it being a national dish of the Uk.

    Hilarious interviews with Edward Davey – apparently the leader of the Marxist liberals and then ā€˜baroness smith ā€˜ who?

    Anyway – Davey went for Tommy Robinson – and swerved the question whether he could get ( a million ) people to openly demonstrate ….. a corrupt swamp dweller ( see sub post office scandal ) ….
    Poor – rich – Jackie smith somehow having to say how good the TTK regime is . She really didn’t make it and you could tell her ā¤ļøwasn’t in it . But at least she didn’t mention the major achievement – breakfast clubs …..

    Her interviewer – didn’t really push on the invasion or the use of the šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§by British people when TTK wouid much better see the ReichEU flag .

    Generally perhaps all those ex labour councillors sitting in their parliament know they are gone whenever the next election comes and that any Marxist going door to door canvassing needs a health warning .

    Btw – im surprised the Marxists didn’t roll out Douglas Alexander ( or is it Alexander Douglas ?)
    Who could sell you a used nappy such is his use of words ….but I reckon even he knows TTK is dead .

    I refused to watch the series, as the narrative sounded irksome and agenda driven.

    Of course Stephen Graham picked up an Emmy as well – despite his range extending to ‘angry Scouse man’ in every drama. Unsurprisingly, his acceptance speech immediately plays tribute to his ‘mixed race heritage’. Give it a rest Stephen, you got where you are because you’re white.

    The Beeb even wheeled out leftist marxist socialist Maxine Peake who is frankly excruciating. She ‘peaked’ in ‘Dinnerladies’, let’s have it right.

    I was there at the patriots rally in mufti (no flags ) taking part and observing .
    The first part .

    The crowd was good humoured , no violence , the police were in pairs or small groups wearing caps not riot gear , there were many ethnic minorities , a lone policeman of Pakistani heritage walked through the crowd out of sight of his colleagues as people respectfully moved aside .
    Whitehall was split by a wall , the patriots side was up from south past Downing Street perhaps taking over 75% . You couldn`t get from the north to south of Whitehall and vice versa . The roads around the area were blocked off for the patriots side , even taxis couldn`t get there .

    The second part . Observed from Trafalgar Square .

    I went through The Mall to see how the Antifas were doing .
    The Police had not blocked off the roads , Antifa came down The Strand using one lane into Whitehall , they filed past in batches ie SWP ,then Palestinian protesters , then Communist Party etc with their normal placards . one thing I noticed , THEY LOOKED NERVOUS .

    Patriots then came up by Northumberland Avenue and The Mall BY CHANCE , spontaneuosly , not organised but agravated by the sight of Antifa . More and more patriots came swelling the area so the roads were closed – by patriots not Antifa .

    The Police separated the factions but Antifa were surrounded . Antifa couldn`t even fill a third of the space allocated to them . Somehow they got split by the patriots .

    plastic bottles very occasionally were thrown by both sides and a small bang heard and smoke and one idiot threw a flare probably at a pocket of Antifa but it went behind a Police van . Antifa didn`t seem to hold their flags and placards so high and their chants and slogans were drowned out by the patriots even though they had loudspeakers .

    The Third Part .

    Police now had a problem . Antifa were trapped . Police horses were used but even this failed to move Antifa up by more than a few paces . The hours went by until the Police did a blinder . They moved patriots in Trafalgar Square and formed a ring as though Antifa were going back up The Strand . They then let Antifa slink off by The Mall , the opposite way .

    A good day out .

      – the state failed to incite the violence they were hoping for but still featured it

    Hair we go again….structural racism as Blacks can’t access hairdressers with the unique skills to deal with Black hair.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20p1nzr5x2o

    ‘Women are travelling across the UK to get their afro hair cared for due to a lack of salons able to do it, a BBC investigation has found.
    We contacted 259 colleges across England to ask if they taught an inclusive curriculum which included afro hair care and, of the 237 who replied, only 82 said they did.

    For Ms Daly the need is clear, with those clients forced to drive for hours to her salon in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, due to the lack of local options for their afro hair.

    “I have clients from all over the country. My furthest client lives a few miles from Carlisle, so it’s about three-and-half hours and maybe even longer,” she said.’

    Hmmm…that’s odd…no black hairdressers in Carlisle? Maybe Google just doesn’t work up there…

    ‘Afro/Carribean: Braids, Twists,Dread locks, Retouching with relaxer cream etc
    Location:Carlisle, Cumbria’

    And

    ‘Lockstock Hairdressing offer professional hair care for existing and new customers.
    Products & Services

    Afro Hair

    Hair Colouring

    Hair Extensions

    Hair Straightening

    Hair Styling

    Hair Treatments

    Hair Weaves

    BBC spending serious amounts of time and money breaking this huge scandal….

    ‘Hair professionals we spoke to told us it is hard to find courses in order to be qualified to treat afro hair.

    The BBC decided to find out just how hard and contacted every hair and beauty college in England who were registered on the government’s National Careers Service, external.

    We asked them if their curriculum offered qualifications covering all four hair types.

    Of the 259 we contacted, 237 responded and 155 told us they did not teach students how to care for afro hair.’

    Boss of degrading sex-trade ring in Dubai’s glamour districts unmasked by BBC
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2r9y3kxy9o

    ‘A man running a sex ring operating out of Dubai’s most glamorous neighbourhoods, and exploiting vulnerable women, has been identified by a BBC investigation.’

    Why are the BBC spending UK taxpayers money on investigations of things happening in Dubai ?.

    Here’s the author receiving a ‘gold award’ from the BBC for being black. A bit like Obamas Nobel Peace prize.

        “The minimum legal age for marriage in the UAE is 18 for both men and women. While the law sets 18 as the minimum age, some sources indicate concerns about ongoing child marriage, although specific prevalence data for the UAE isn’t readily available in these results. Historically, there have been discussions and differing interpretations of religious laws regarding marriageable age, leading to some cultural practices that permit earlier marriages outside the official legal framework”

        In a country where oil is virtually free, the consumption of leaded petrol is very high and this has consequences for children’s health, due to lead poisoning and air pollution. The State has recognised this problem and in recent years, has invested heavily in cleaner renewable energies such as solar energy.

        Road safety

        The UAE has one of the highest death rates by road accidents in the world. It is also one of the leading causes of death among people aged 15 to 44 years, with nearly 40 deaths / 100 000 inhabitants; also, hundreds of thousands are seriously injured on the roads.

    If the judges do not stop these plane loads being sent back (ā€˜uman rights) it will show they are siding with Labour because they continuously used it when the Tories tried to send people back.

    If the judges do stop these plane loads full of illegal migrants going back it will show TTK’s plan is useless.

    What a complete joke the MSM is now.

    Two men placed a bomb under a journalists car in Utah but it didn’t go off. They have been arrested as terrorists.

    Their names are Adeeb Nasir and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir. The car was an affiliate of Fox news. Their house has an anti-Trump poster on the wall.

    ‘Inside, officers found two hoax weapons of mass destruction, two firearms, bomb-making equipment and illegal drugs.’

    One might think more anti-Right terrorism would be big news given the current climate – especially as they were both in Utah.

    The BBC have not reported it at all.

    The Guardian have reported it, but fail to mention it was a Fox news car, they fail to mention the names of the men arrested and they fail to mention the poster at their house.

    What a complete farce these ‘news’ sites are. The Guardian have to beg for money to survive. Luckily for the BBC they get it for free.

    Another Tory defects to Reform.

    Some people are unhappy about Tories joining Reform but they shouldn’t be worried.
    Some 20% (I guess) of the Tory MPs would be what was previously on the Right wing of the Party, just as wets like Soubry and Grieve on the left.

    There are plenty good Tories I would welcome into Reform. Some already like Jenkyns and some future possibles like Jenryck.
    I’m undecided about Dorries with her adulation of the useless Boris.

    When you think about it, a huge number of Reform members and voters will have previously voted Tory so if any of the genuine right wing Tory MPs want to defect that’s fine by me.
    The important thing is they must genuinely support Reform’s objectives and not jump ship just to try and keep their seat.

    JRM, Bridgen and Francois would be decent additions and I’m sure you can name several others. Probably about 20 or so.
    Maybe Suella as well.

      Introduce offshore detention/mass deportation for illegal migrants
      The Government should seek to establish offshore detention facilities for individuals who enter the UK illegally, to process them and arrange their deportation.

      More details
      The UK is facing unprecedented levels of illegal migration, particularly through small boat crossings. We believe current use of hotels and temporary accommodation is unsustainable, costly and dangerous.

      We believe that establishing offshore detention centres would act as a strong deterrent, prevent absconding, and allow for the swift processing and removal of those who enter illegally.

      We consider the detention and mass deportation of all illegal migrants in the UK is a necessity.

        He might appear to be a sort of Dad’s Army Captain Mainwaring figure but behind that lay a man of steely resolve, someone who knew what to do and did it. A hero to me.
