    OK I will go first. As Fed says things are not going well for the Labour Party supporting BBC. ‘Strictly’ is in a crisis, too, as the presenters have quit. The BBC support for Hamas is under pressure in Gaza, too, the IDF are attacking Gazan’s. The BBC have had to apologise for a TV film where the narrator was a son of a Hamas official. Vile Bob Vylan is still fresh in the memory of some with his leading the crowd in a chant at Glastonbury. The BBC are sexist with the BBC web-site showing women going shopping. The BBC are over-manned in a female way, and over-paid. Gwyneth Williams did much damage to TWaTO in her time as controller of BBC R4 and it is apparent to this day.

    Defund the BBC! Cancel that TV Licence.

      The BBC received approximately £3.8 billion in licence fee revenue for the year ending March 2025, which accounted for about 65% of its total income. This income is used to fund BBC television, radio, and online services.

    With the invader rapist now free to carry on his depavity will we see anyone resign ? Like a – er – Home Secretary or Prison Govenor . That used to happen but these days not so much … maybe there needs to be new victims for that to happen – but even then – probably no resignations …

      There will obviously have to be a full public enquiry lasting several months…..in 10-15 years time, when any opportunity to hold people accountable will long since have gone.

    Laughably we’re told that all available police man-power is now involved un the manhunt. Well, that news certainly doesn’t fill me with confidence!

    If hapless prison officers can’t hang onto their prey and literally give them money for the next train outta town – ( they all look the same Guv ) – I can’t see the 15 year olds in large helmets doing any better.

    @PatrickChristys to Keir Stamer
    Today you released a prolific illegal migrant child sex offender by mistake.
    Now you’re asking us to trust you with Digital ID.
    Nope.

    The BBC are running several stories celebrating diversity.
    They don’t seem able to notice there might be a teeny weeny link between them but I bet readers will have no such trouble.

    Police have launched a manhunt after a former asylum seeker who sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl was mistakenly released from prison.
    Ethiopian national Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, who arrived in the UK on a small boat, was jailed for 12 months over the attack in Epping, Essex, last month.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2d5rl36vgo

    An asylum seeker has been found guilty of murdering a hotel worker, who he stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver at a railway station.
    Deng Chol Majek had denied killing 27-year-old Rhiannon Whyte, who died three days after being attacked at Bescot Stadium station, in Walsall, in October 2024.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgkpyr1ep4o

    A man who killed two men and dumped their remains in suitcases by Clifton Suspension Bridge has been jailed for life.
    Yostin Mosquera, 35, denied murdering Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso but a jury at Woolwich Crown Court found him guilty in July and he was sentenced to life in prison on Friday.
    The jury heard Colombian national Mosquera “decapitated and dismembered” the pair while staying at their flat in Shepherd’s Bush, London
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly42l0xpgdo

    A woman who raped and murdered 12 year-old Lola Daviet in Paris has been handed a rare whole-life sentence in a case that has shocked France.
    Dahbia Benkired, aged 27, must spend at least 30 years in prison after a panel of judges and a jury decided to impose the country’s harshest possible penalty
    Benkired is an Algerian immigrant who was under orders to leave the country.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjr07wqeerwo

    And all on the same day.
    Deliberate, appalling, BBC selective eyesight.
    The victims of course did not have the luxury of celebrating anything.

    The Grooming Gangs enquiry is going absolutely nowhere.
    But then again why would the Labour Party want to risk alienating its core voters ?

    I know it isn’t perfect but it is the best we have. I am talking about GBNews. Viewing figures for September 2025 are an average of nearly 88,000. In a population of around 70 million in the UK, it is nothing. But I think of how many people I have met in various walks of life and suspecting that their politics are not too dissimilar to my own, I have admitted to my choice of channel. They have ‘admitted’ that they too watch or listen to GBNews too. 88,000 out of 70 million I would expect meeting others would be rare. I suspect the numbers are being downplayed.

      Barb reports slightly higher figures
      Bvia BeBroadcast.co.uk

      Weekday Evenings (6-11 PM, July 2025)
      102,690 (average)
      Sustained evening slot, beating BBC and Sky.

      Breakfast Slot (6-9:30 AM, July 2025)
      98,910 (average; peak higher)
      Morning programming led rivals.
      BARB via Be Broadcast

      Since many people I know do watch it
      the idea that only 1 in 1000 people regularly watch it seems absurd

    The Sheffield school killer was named as Umar Khan
    was that his real name ?
    I searched for prior mentions on Twitter and found little
    But then when I search on Omar , I see that from about 5th Feb people named the killer as Omar and showed his photo
    apparently sourced fro shoolfriends
    the same photo the media name as Omar
    In translating Arabic the vowels are often flexible
    I wonder if at school they wrote his name as Omar
