BBC reporters sneering at the Israeli PM ? The constant portrayal of Muslims as victims ? You can guess . Keep going 🇮🇱

I see some people in London are spraying pickpockets with dye so that others will be able to see them.
A good idea except that it will not be long before a load of youths and other pickpocketers get a paint spray and mark all the innocent shoppers and pedestrians so nobody will know who’s a pickpocket and who isn’t.

I thought Zack might’ve been a bit more vocal about his gayness?
Worth asking though?
“Islam cannot be either ‘moderate’ or ‘not moderate.’ Islam can only be one thing,” Erdoğan said in a speech at a program hosted in Ankara by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on women’s entrepreneurship on Nov. 9.
“With Kipling, it was you put down the tea and become a full blown hater. Toby I guess is asking when will that happen, when will people be pushed too far? … The character of a people can be changed. And it can be change quicker than you think. The Chinese for example one child policy … they killed all the girls, and had a boy. If you have surplus young men who can’t get any action – become the first gay super power since Sparta. … They now change it and end one child policy, in the intervening of 4 decades the Chinese lost habit of large families. The government can change the dispassion of the people. A guy questioned by police for half an hour for liking a post on a transphobic post. ” Mark Steyn 6 Years ago

Iryna, the girl murdered on the train, Charlie Kirk and the Synagogue killings.
All more or less forgotten now (as usual) only to be mentioned when it suits some politician.
We’re now waiting for the next murders/killings to get outraged about for a couple of days.
Each time for a day or so we’re told enough is enough and this time it’s different and something will happen…..but it never does, does it.
Dear Bill Maher
On the September 12, 2025 episode of Real Time, whilst discussing my arrest at Heathrow Airport, you said: “Last week, the Irish sitcom writer Graham Linehan, who’s won an Emmy and five BAFTA awards, got off a plane at Heathrow and got arrested by five British police officers, not because he was selling drones to the Houthis, just because he’s a crank who spends way too much time online ranting about gender ideology.”
You also stated: “Some have expressed that opinion with literary sophistication, like J. K. Rowling. Some by getting big laughs, like Dave Chappelle. And some are downright ugly about it, like Linehan.”
I had to wait several days before I could write this. Your words hurt – they always do when they come from establishment figures with the platforms and protections I’ve never had. But I didn’t wait because of that. I waited because the sheer audacity of what you did demanded a measured response: calling a fellow journalist a ‘crank’ for investigating a story you’ve ignored for a decade.
Let me explain why your characterisation of me is both unfair and callous.
I have been covering the harms of gender ideology since 2017 – eight years ago. In 2018, I joined thousands of others in asking for a more civilised debate on an issue that affects the safeguarding of children and the rights of women. For this, I was cancelled across the board. I lost my career, my marriage, my financial stability. I was made notorious by flippant. unserious commentators like yourself, and then punished for my notoriety.
For nearly a decade, I have been subjected to relentless litigation by dangerous men, including one paedophile fraudster. I lost a musical that would have been my pension. My arrest at Heathrow was the latest in a pattern of police harassment orchestrated by trans activists – the same people whose targeting of women and children I’ve spent years exposing.
During these eight years, I have given a platform to numerous experts, journalists, and advocates who have been doing the difficult work of documenting the harms being done to children and women in the name of gender ideology. Like Kara Dansky – a feminist attorney who has testified before Congress, authored two books on the subject, and been a leading voice for women’s rights in this debate. You have never invited her on Real Time. I interviewed and published her years before you addressed this issue with any substance. The list of women I have spoken to includes Mia Hughes, Stella O’Malley, Kelly-Jay Keen, Helen Joyce, Maya Forstater, Megan Murphy, and Genevieve Gluck, among many others. I imagine this letter is the first you’re aware of their existence.
You didn’t substantively address this issue on Real Time until May 2022 – five years after I began, and three years after you briefly mocked Democratic candidates’ positions on it in 2019. Your May 2022 segment asked: “If this spike in trans children is all natural, why is it regional? Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them.” These are important questions. They’re questions people like me had been asking for years while you remained silent.
Let’s talk about Jazz Jennings – a name that I’m fairly sure has never come up on Real Time. He (yes, he) has been in the public eye since the age of six – 18 years of documented exposure. Since July 2015, he has been the subject of a TLC reality programme: ten years, eight seasons of televised child abuse, the systematic destruction of a child’s health, broadcast as entertainment.
This is a boy who was gender non-conforming as a toddler. His terrible error, for which he will be punished for the remainder of his life, was being himself in view of an opportunist, fame-hungry mother. He has been medically transitioned, including castration, all with parental consent and broadcast for public consumption. This is what you dismiss as crank obsession: a televised crime against humanity that you should have been investigating but instead left to people like me with a fraction of your audience and resources.
You call my approach ugly. If I am ugly, it is because I am covering an ugly topic whilst receiving ugly threats, and whilst journalists and humorists like yourself have left their posts. I apologize for daring to enter this debate years before either Chappelle or Rowling mentioned it – and for doing so without the protection of their millions or billions, unable to defend myself from either trans activists or establishment figures like yourself.
Throughout all this, I have remained at my post. You never even turned up for duty.
I understand why you and others have been reluctant to cover this issue. I understand the fear. The consequences for speaking up are real, as I can attest. But that fear does not give you the right to defame someone who has sacrificed his career and safety to do the work you have not done.
This was an episode defending free speech. In the same segment where you condemned my arrest for speaking, you called me a crank for what I said. You’re defending the principle whilst attacking the person who actually used it, proving you’re no friend to those who risk everything by speaking up.
I am asking you now to do the right thing. Issue a public apology on Real Time – the same platform where you defamed me. Acknowledge that calling me a “crank” was wrong, and that my work on this issue has been substantive and necessary.
I believe you’re capable of recognising when you’ve been unfair to someone, particularly a fellow comedian and journalist who has been doing difficult work under difficult circumstances.

You all know I do try to link my comments to the BBC. I’m sorry but I fail with this one but please celebrate with me. In the north I am a Waitrose girl and have given up buying mangoes there because they are hard with white flesh. Today I am in London and went to M&S. I bought an extremely large mango. Its flesh is deep orange and sweet. To add to the pleasure, after reading the label, the pleasure was greater. ‘Produce of Israel’. Avoid the co-op and BDS. Please buy Israeli produce.
I never studied politics, because I went out and got myself a real job when I left school, but one thing I never understand, is how Marxists manage to accumulate so much wealth?
The Millibands seem to attach themselves to a country’s money like leeches in some shape or other, and there seems to be a trend in the same thing happening with all socialists, fiddling the tax system, the expenses debacle, and the rest…
Had the money I – and the majority of decent British Citizens, paid in tax and NI over the whole of our working lives, been used wisely, Great Britain would have a marvellous future, but instead, the fruit-juice drinkers, the glazed-eyed, limp-wristed wishful-thinkers and their associated failures have all descended into ‘politics’, and are now in charge of a failed ‘democracy’, which they have no intention of understanding, and care less, as long as they get loads of our dosh.
The uniparties are the best example of such idiots, and since Margaret Thatcher’s great days, the old country has just gone from bad to worse…
With a plump, obnoxious tax-paid voice in the bBC, what more do they need to do to maintain their bloated lifestyle?
I heard Chris Akabusi on GBNews agree with Gary Neville regretting the use of the Union and St George flags by patriots. His reasoning was that he had served the Queen as a soldier under the Union flag and the use of it on the streets is divisive. Please bear with me when I say that I understand him and Neville but only to a degree.
The problem is that the division was in fact that created by Governments, the imports, featherbedding of illegal immigrants, two tier justice, Palestinian flags everywhere, the lies and gaslighting all came first. It’s not the patriots that created the need for our flags to make a statement like “we’re still here”, “we matter as well”. It’s regrettable that this has become to be seen as divisive. Akabusi and Neville need to understand why this is happening.
