    ‘ There are now closer to 800 migrants crossing the channel. The total figure could reach more than 1000 by the end of the day…’

    Lol….Think we need a Dunkirk in reverse….if the navy can’t handle it then have our own small boat armada going out there and dragging this lot back to France….they are after all ‘French’….if they have no ID then they’re French and thus the French can have them back no problem….never mind what the BBC’s Mark Easton thinks.

    Excellent news – from the DT

    The Treasury has borrowed £11.4bn more than forecast so far this year, official figures show, raising pressure on Rachel Reeves as she seeks to fill a gaping hole in the public finances.

    Public sector net borrowing has hit £83.8bn since April, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), having jumped by another £18bn in August.

    It was the highest August figure for five years and £5.5bn higher than forecast by the Chancellor’s tax and spending watchdog, with the Treasury forking out £8.4bn in debt interest payments alone during the month.

    It leaves borrowing so far this financial year £11.4bn above the £72.4bn that had been projected by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) in March.

    The ONS also blamed higher public sector pay, while VAT receipts disappointed amid a drop in consumer confidence.

    Come economy – crash and we can get rid of TTK

    From the BBC report on the economic state of France – “Far from producing a stronger basis for governing, the new parliament was now split three ways: centre, left and far-right.”

    And there we have it. The BBC spectrum is that EVERYTHING to the right of centre is FAR-right. Now you know where YOU stand lol

      That stands to reason. They’ve moved the centre ground 50 points to the left so anybody actually of the centre is now deemed right wing.

        But notice there are no “Far Left”

        However, there are many “Hard-Left” French politicians. I wonder what the difference is?

          “Far” left or “Far” Right carries the connotation that its members would be beyond an acceptable stance. whereas “Hard” left carries the connotation that it comprises members who are firm in their allegiance to the party.

          That’s why only the left can have “Hard” left members whereas the same description simply does not exist for the Right, by design!

        Didn’t Starmer do well, cringing, and hating having to watch a real leader say it how it is, and our little bloke (?),in the headlights, whimpering and having no answer, being a far-leftie!

        What a cock-up this absolute failure of a ‘cabinet’ is! Utterly hopeless in the case of adversity.

        If we had a ‘Military’, they could well be sitting down and saying, ‘Enough is enough’, but we don’t, so we’re left with the spineless cowards like TTK, his ridiculous sidekicks, and the lefties in Whitehall…

        Naturally, the beeboids are in thrall of such a failure, but as their tax income increases, why should they worry?

    lol…this isn’t just a description of nearly all BBC comedy but their news, current affairs and general dross programming…..[from the Spectator]

    ‘Kumar’s increasing prominence on the programme both epitomised and helped to steer its new doomed trajectory. This became manifest with Kumar’s morbid obsession with Brexit, with unceasing jokes about Nigel Farage and the stupidity and gullibility of the great unwashed, and trying to reduce any story to racism and the folly and privilege of ‘white people’. After years of sad decline, Mock the Week was put out of its misery in 2022.’

    UK ‘too timid’ in defending undersea cables, report warns

    In its report, the committee made a series of recommendations, including:

    Major fines and criminal liability for malicious cable damage
    Increased “direct physical interdiction and prosecution” of suspicious vessels and crew
    That the UK should obtain a cable repair ship by 2030, as the government currently lacks access to such vessels

    What a shame Trump isn’t meeting with Prime Minister Farage.

    The two would have a real meeting of minds and hearts and could turbo-charge the UK forward in so many areas.

    Instead of which we get the lying toad Starmer who only pretends to agree on illegal immigrants, pretends to agree on Free Speech, pretends to agree on Oil, pretends to agree on economic policies, pretends to agree on Net Zero, pretends to agree on Hamas / Gaza, on wokeism and 101 other issues. Whatever he says, you know it’s all fake, his heart’s not in it. Once he’s got his precious trade deals, he’ll revert to type. And most galling of all, he’s already receiving praise for clinching US investments, and even for changing Trump’s mind on Putin. As if Trump could give a flying F what the little pygmy politician thinks about Putin… or anything else!!

    What the USA and Australia (as well as some Eastern European Countries) have shown is that migration CAN be stopped.

    All it needs is a Government which wants to do it.
    If this shower wanted to stop the boats they could do it almost overnight but they have no will to do so. They go through some meaningless ineffective pretence of doing something which is really as good as nothing at all.

    If they really want to stop them they can do it immediately.
    They just don’t want to.

    The motive behind Charlie Kirk’s killing: What we know and don’t know
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7v1rle0598o

    This article where the BBC try to cast doubt on the facts released by police is comedy gold.

    ‘Prosecutors also gave further details that could point to a possible motive – although there is still much that is not known.’

    The we get the further details:

    ‘According to an indictment, Robinson’s mother told police that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and left-wing, “more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented”.’

    ‘According to an indictment, Robinson’s mother told police that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and left-wing, “more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented”.’

    ‘Prosecutors say Robinson left a message for his roommate: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”‘

    And so it continues.

    What isn’t known BBC ?. What he watched on TV while he cleaned the rifle ?. If he had clean underpants on ?.

    They then check his social media and tell us:
    ‘The accounts do include a few scattered comments on politics, none of them particularly conclusive or directly indicative of a motive.’
    WTF ?. Have you forgotten what the police have told us ?.

    There is NO doubt you agenda-based activist, hate-filled cretins. He murdered him through hate. The kind YOU are STILL trying to cultivate in articles like this.

    It’s relentless. Next we get:
    ‘and although the state’s Governor Spencer Cox said Robinson had a “leftist ideology”, there are still gaps in what we know about a possible motive.’
    SO WHAT ?. ‘POSSIBLE’ motive ? – he has confessed to his transgender lover you idiots !!!.

    The entire, lengthy article is beyond ridiculous. It’s like an episode of Panorama.

    Despite all the clear evidence they have, the BBC actually print this:
    ‘At the same time, a number of left-wing social media users have continued to claim that Robinson is a Trump supporter or member of a fringe, far-right group known as “groypers” – who consistently castigated Kirk for not supporting their white nationalist and anti-Semitic beliefs.’

    Totally disgusting. OFCOM should be all over this extreme-left activist bullshit from the BBC.

    ‘Shayan Sardarizadeh’ of the BBC (very few white English males there now) is one of their specialists in ‘disinformation’ according to his muckrack bio. That must mean his job is to spread it.

Kimmel not reading the room and also trying to spread toxic disinformation that the killer of Charlie Kirk did it for Trump…..for some reason….and when you’re a national figure in the media such lies have consequences one way or another…so he was dumped.

      The BBC – unlike everybody who lives in the real world – think that the opinions of other ‘celebrities’ who live in equally bizarre extreme-Left bubbles are worthy of using for such a ridiculously long article.

      Watch some of the many videos on social media of the arrogant, ignorant Lefty idiots trying to argue with Charlie Kirk. They are ‘radicalised’ freaks with no common sense whatsoever. They are the same as your average modern BBC employee.

      The Left got caught out by the murder and now they are trying to shift the focus onto something else. Just like the BBC are doing.

      The bottom line for this whole story is extreme Left-wing hatred of the Right being caused by constant far-Left hateful rhetoric from the likes of the BBC, CNN, ABC, MSN and many others against Trump and his allies. And that angle for the story – which is the only truth of the matter – is being totally ignored.

      I wonder how they can be stopped without things turning into a complete shitstorm. I thought the Right might cause a civil war but now I think the opposite : what we are seeing is their response when democracy rejects them. And who knows where this rabbit hole will end. They are nasty bastards who don’t care what they do to get what they want. As Charlie Kirk proves beyond doubt.
