Just taken a call from a lovely friend, the phone’s next to the PC and I casually clicked…
Timing is everything – so I’m told…
And ‘Hear Hear’ to Fed’s title of this post! I dare any foreigner to try and make a mockery of any of our own fighting men and women, because they’ll really start to understand a few basic facts of being British!
I bet poppies will be a sell-out this year!
My Great Uncle was in The Bantam Regiment. He’d been a miner, and Bantams were short, stocky, tough as nails and a last resort as most of the taller men had already enlisted, and had been killed.
I had to stay here at the desk, because the dog was just petrified by the racket from some fireworks, and was hiding underneath!
At one stage, shaking like a leaf, she was climbing all over the cables, (PC, printer etc), and I was worried that she’d stick a claw in a socket or something, so I finished up under there with her, trying to quieten her down…
I guess the thought of an ageing Scrobs, lying full length under a big desk, with a tincture too far away to reach and Alexa playing ‘The Lark Ascending’, may be a consideration too much for stronger mortals visiting here, but there you go!
Scrobie, congratulations! You have got to have a go at ‘three-in-a-row’ now. What are you doing on Sunday night? You might think about cancelling.
Fed, approve of the sentiments in your Thread header. Among the saints in Glory will be my late parents. I thank them (and God) for the Christian upbringing they gave me and my sister. 🙂
Similar sentiments here – in fact my dad had considered Holy Orders at a young age, but WW2 arrived…
The Christian beliefs, mantras and rules were instilled in our family from a very early age! My sister reminds me that for a time, we were never allowed to wear Jeans on a Sunday! Dad was The Rector’s Warden, I was either in the choir, or serving at the alter, (very high church), and on some heavy occasions there might be over twenty of us lads from the village, holding candles, pouring out the wine, collecting the Sacrament, swinging the thurible, (the youngest chap carried the Boat), standing on the altar steps with a huge plate for the Wardens to give me the collection. At school, we had daily chapel, and twice on Sundays…
Senora O’Blene had the ‘rules’ drummed into her at various convents and schools, while her parents were flying for our country in the Far East, and when we eventually landed together, we decided that we’d had enough ‘religion’ to last us a lifetime – and it was and we did!
Rachel Reeves’ house is in Dulwich. Ellie Reeves’ constituency is East Dulwich. And I don’t think it has been resolved the question that Rachel from accounts claimed her main residence was in Leeds. I haven’t watched the BBC for years. Is Panorama still on the go? I am sure there is a programme in all this for the BBC.
There are lots of women like that idiot Guardian hack on social media.
Every so often I check the facebook profile of the ones making far-Left comments like her. And every single time they are a list of anti-Right, anti-Trump posts with just 2 or 3 others ‘like’ing them.
But it never occurs to these people that perhaps the problem is with them, not others. It’s one of the Left’s defining characteristics to have very thick skin and no shame whatsoever about what they do. It just makes them hate everyone else even more.
JonC, you are quite right. these ’causes’ seem to catch elderly wimmin like Polly. You’ve seen it with Palestine Action. Then there is Global Warming and Climate Change.
I have a theory on this. Marx’s theory simply does not pass the basic test of does the theory work? It does not. If the practice is wrong then so must be the theory. Intellectually therefore this requires a bit of gymnastics for Marxists. Ultimately the only safe place for a Marxist is to claim that I am right (because I say so) and that requires entitled arrogance.
This is the primary hallmark of a socialist but entitled arrogance also provides the only discernable philosophy of a socialist which is that the end justifies the means. In simple terms if I need to go and murder 39m people to get my way, then I do so because it achieves the outcome I want. The outcome I want is right because I say so. Intellectualism is so straight forward.
That we have a bubble dwelling swamp tells you everything that we need to know about the bBC and the establishment.
Goodness me : the BBC are like frenzied zombies ripping at a corpse.
In what way does this story qualify as headline UK news ?. It’s November now with Xmas in the middle.
As usual with agenda topics like this, the headline is just an excuse to re-run the same story and pile on the pressure. All this for a man who has not been charged with anything, there is no evidence he actually did anything and he denies doing anything.
Of course he did do it – but if shagging a willing, gorgeous prostitute was a reason to be destroyed, the BBC would be decimated. At least she was a woman, he didn’t bully her into it and he isn’t a kiddy fiddler.
Not saying I have any time for the odious Andrew Battenburg – but the hypocrisy and double standards of the activists is off the scale.
Amazing how it has diverted all the attention away from Reeves and Starmer isn’t it ?.
Defund these shameless far-Left activist scum. They should not get public money to do things like this.
Former England goalkeeper Mary Earps announces ‘happy’ same-sex relationship (BBC) – no preconceptions about the wimmin’s game dispelled there then.
Frankly, top flight men’s football has been a big disappointment for the gay lobby.
If you thought the boys and girls at the BBC went a bit over the top over the Jamaican storm this week in terms of quantity of hyperbolus articles (they had quite some Windrush) – but us Brits do like to bang on about the weather – now forget about the BBC online news page, it’s become the wicked Andrew Windsor speculation site…
Andrew’s move out of Royal Lodge may not happen until new year (BBC)

While the print press appear to praise Charles for his bending to the wind of the media whipped up storm: King listened to the people (Mirror)
You may of course have guessed the end game here: Kevin Maguire: For the Royals… This is the beginning of the end (Mirror)
And there was Andrew, all those years ago, with his bought and paid for young-ish masseuse, expecting the outcome to be little more than a quick happy ending.
I wonder how their BBC is going to pivot into the respectful State Broadcaster when the Remembrance Ceremony takes place ?
Will they put up heidi or sophie the head girl to talk down to ‘verterans ‘ as usual ? Run the usual ‘coloured folk won the war ‘ lie – ? Or their King looks well despite the cancer …. Narrative ….
Ive heard that andy has been inundated with job offers ranging from taking part in ‘love island ‘( i only know the title – and coronation street ( hes been there) …. Maybe he ll do panto…
Meanwhile rachel has a clean ethics check – right BBC
Stumbled across the BBC’s version of ‘Professor T’ the other day. The highly-praised Belgian original looks good so I thought that maybe this sticks to the same story and isn’t stuffed with BBC wokeness.
I should have known better. Immediately after the credits, we are with 2 police-persons. A young black female and a white man about the same age. She acts superior and calls him ‘sergeant’ and I began to wonder if it was true : that she was in charge !. Then 2 more whitey males arrived (one twice her age) who then start treating her like Inspector Poirot ace-detective. So 3 white males and a young black girl in a police team – and she is in charge of all of them.
Never happened. Yet another agenda-lie from the far-Left BBC showng how they WANT it to be, not how it is in the real world.
Actually JohnC the original Belgian Professor T was superb. You can find it on the channel 4 site as part of Walter Presents which has some other excellent non woke dramas. I failed to see why the BBC would waste money on what was already excellent although they probably thought lets wokify this. I refused to watch it.
I’ve looked around the net Doc and only found it in the original Belgian with Belgian subtitles. It does look good – in that weird European sort of way.
One I really did enjoy was ‘Trapped’ set in Iceland. The first was superb. The second went woke and was shit. Not sure if I’ve seen the third.
I always watch GB News as I’m performing my early morning calisthenics routine and some truly dreadful news has just popped up that nearly had me dropping my dumbbell. BORDER FORCE STAFF ARE TO GO ON STRIKE…
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear…this is a calamity…how will possibly we cope? All those thousands of illegal, fighting aged men pouring into our country completely unchecked.
The only bonus I can think of is that the boats ( Boarder Farce ones ) may stay in port, who am I kidding of course they’ll carry on going out to pick them up.
Jeff I’m getting tired of GBN. Dipped in earlier today and was met by Vicki Pryce proffering her financial advice – she’s a felon for heavens sake – one of many who grace this channel.
Tonight I again dipped in to see Alex Armstrong who clearly doesnt have a home he’s on everyday all the time – AND scraping the barrel on the panel is an ex-dancer from Strictly who graces the pages of celebrity magazines !
I’m done.
No less than twelve anti-Andrew chortling stories on the BBC home page this morning as they revel in their success in assisting in the taking of a royal scalp.
They are treading around the edges Digg and seeing how the ground lies. They will be waiting for an opportunity to present itself then Charlie will be next.
And he will : the idiot can’t help but meddle in politics.
They will do what they always do : be gentle at first and then keep pushing out the red-line until someone shouts. Then they will quickly pull back a little and stay there for a while to let it become the new ‘norm’. Then they will do it again. And again.
You can’t have a socialist state with a monarch. And that is their ultimate goal – but they will play it softly, softly catch the monkey.
I always felt The King attending Davos or COP meetings was dancing with the devil. If you want an amorphous world with no defined countries, getting rid of monarchies is obvious.
It seems the path to a net zero UK sunny uplands and tweeting larks is paved with lies.
Big, fat fibs
Brearley is lying. We pay about £5bn/yr for gas for electricity and about £12bn/yr for renewables subsidies. Then there's carbon taxes, backup, grid balancing and expansion on top. Then the socialist Warm Home Discount scheme and we're going to pay other's bad debts. https://t.co/QUCMmXE4Hq
Scam after Scam after Tory/Labour/Green Party scam….
Elton John generated controversy by stating he bought carbon credits to offset the private jet flight he provided for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, making their trip “carbon neutral”. This action, while intended to mitigate the environmental impact, sparked a debate about the effectiveness of carbon offsetting, with some critics calling it insufficient and a form of “greenwashing”.
……….
In 2023, the UK spent £4.3 billion of its aid budget on in-donor refugee and asylum seeker costs, which accounted for 28% of the entire ODA budget.
Of this 2023 figure, approximately £2.5 billion was spent by the Home Office specifically on asylum accommodation, much of it on hotels.
For the current financial year (2025/26), the Home Office plans to spend an estimated £2.2 billion of ODA, mainly on asylum accommodation costs.
In the previous financial year (2024/25), the amount spent was around £2.3 billion.
“At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said. Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: “This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.”
‘Members of a US congressional committee investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case have intensified their calls for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to answer questions about his links to the late sex offender.’
Another utterly misleading, specifically worded piece of left-wing propaganda from the BBC. It has been written to read like the whole committee have intensified their calls.
In fact it’s just 4 in a committee of 47. And there is zero chance it will happen. But the BBC write the article almost as if it has happened. The entire article is basically a lie but written in the usual weasel BBC way to give the impression it’s true.
No way this gormless looking DEI clone is the driving force behind this article. She has just edited it according to instructions from that anonymous left-wing activist team who wield the real power of that multi-billion pound budget.
We might wonder why the Reeves illegal letting story became public during the the Andrew defenestration. Smarmer would have been well aware of the Andrew situation he would have been briefed and consulted weeks or even months ago that Andrew would be stripped of his titles, he saved the Reeves story up for the event.
It was usefully the day after PMQ’s as well which is very curious, will Smarmer even be around for the next one?
Flotsam – I felt the same – I get the feeling that whoever the new number 10 communications czar is – is much better than before and good at massaging the weekly bad news ….
As for bad news – the only way one finds out about council votes is on X – labour has been losing them every week – I know they are often only wards but the swing from Labour to reform is often huge ….
I was led to believe no benefits were provided to failed asylum seekers and that their status was illegal.
Turns out that’s not true, not only can’t we seem to deport them but many are still given Section 4 support, which gives them taxpayer-funded housing and cash ..
It would seem Khalid Masood (Westminster Attack 22.03.2017 5 Innocents Killed) was on benefits which comes out of National Insurance payments by the workers of the UK. Thus, it would seem prior to these findings the workers in the UK were unknowingly funding terrorism.
But now we know terrorists operate using welfare benefits it would seem we are knowingly paying terrorists.
Can I suggest that the Government please make sure NI payments by UK workers don’t go into the hands of terrorists by removing the terrorists in the first place. Can you also calculate how much we have/are funded terrorism via welfare benefits by simply getting all known terrorists (left,right,islamic) arrested to-date and those on the watch list and check welfare payments made to them or their immediate family (under various names possibly).
Another example is where imams preaching intolerance such as Anjem Choudary (preached hate 1999-2016) to his hundreds of worshippers (5 times a day, everyday), can all imams be checked if they are on welfare benefits, paid by UK workers, and these payments be stopped immediately. It is the community that needs to fund the imams if they want religious teachings, similar to how the Church of England was funded with donations in the past.
. . . .
The father-of-four (Anjem Choudary preaching hate 1999-2016) takes home more than £25,000 a year in benefits and lives in a £320,000 house in Leytonstone

“…and don’t you worry. It’s coming to a place near you…we cannot have state subsidized preachers…give it up or give it to your deadliest enemy and pay for the rope that will choke you.“
Getting the real agenda for the Andrew stories. ‘Today’ telling us a US committee, impression given it is run by Democrats, was demanding Andrew reveal all….but the committee is controlled by Republicans….and we get to the meat and potatoes when Justin Webb asks the Democrat a leading question as to why they weren’t also hunting down Americans…..answer….we’ll get to Trump. Of course it wasn’t the committee making these demands but Democrat members of that committee…..Webb missed the obvious question…if Trump then also Clinton?
Then we had on a lefty from the New Statesman who mocked and disparaged the Royal Family and the concept of it…he wants a Republic and the BBC told us this was opeing the door to the dissolution of the Monarchy.
So Get Trump and disband the Monarchy….pretty much BBC narratives all along underlying everything.
BBC very excited that museums should hand over their ‘loot’ to Egypt. Their report was very pro this….and not a single person invited on to cast doubt upon the idea.
Of course the interest in ancient Egypt was generated by Westerners….Egyptians didn’t give a hoot about the pyramids or their history….other than to actually loot the tombs for treasure themselves. The Western archaeologists in fact protected and ensured massive interest in these artifacts which might otherwise have been destroyed or left to rot.
You can see the BBC attitude in thsi sentence…
‘The Rosetta Stone, found in 1799, provided the key to deciphering hieroglyphics. It was discovered by the French army and was seized by the British as war booty. ‘
The British didn’t ‘seize it as war booty’….there was a long series of negotiations with the French resulting in a document being signed by the French, the British and…their Ottoman allies at the time.
Not exactly ‘seized’ then…..and done in conjunction with the Ottomans….something the BBC forgets to tell us.
Pug ,
I agree the entire legacy media seem to obsessed with doing Trump as much harm as possible. I watched a recent interview of Niall Fergusson, the historian,by Charlie Rose a globalist talk show host in the US.
Rose was incredulous that Fergusson didn’t think that Trump was a fascist and was doing much that was good for America. He simply couldn’t believe that Fergusson was serious.
But the longer that they exclusively focus on Trump they are not paying attention to Vance who I think will push and broaden the Trump counter revolution when he becomes President.
‘The UK’s post-Brexit payments to the EU will top £50billion. We’ve already paid £44billion since leaving in 2020 (ONS). Another £8billion is due.
This is the exit deal the useless Tories negotiated.
At the time they denied it would even be £40billion. Some of us pointed out it would be more.
The EU took hopelessly unprepared Tory governments for a ride, running circles round them and our civil service in negotiations, leaving the rest of us to pick up the enormous tab.’
Yes the Tories under May were totally useless and underhand…May really being an EU stooge who lied to us…remember ‘no deal is better than a bad deal’ that suddenly morphed into ‘any deal is better than a no deal’…and so she put a border between us and NI….an agreement Boris was forced to sign up to.
but not just May & Co….it was the Remainer Labour, civil service, BBC and all the rest, not forgetting a devious, bullying and intransigent EU, that blocked every move towards a reasonable agreement.
The EU had no intention of making Brexit seem like a workable end…thus discouraging anyone else from contemplating leaving their iron grip and chokehold. Britain was either to be beaten in submission and dragged back into the fold or it would be beaten to a pulp…not forgetting they actually threatened to mobilise the terrorists of the IRA to stop Brexit….something the BBC cheered on.
pug, we were taken to the cleaners over Brexit. Boris bodged it and May was even worse. Lord Frost had the measure of the EU’s negotiators and we should have let him get on with it. But, iirc, Boris sacked him and took over the negotiations himself.
A newspaper cutting from Fridays Daily Mail, made me laugh. So true and I admire Rod Liddle for pointing out the many twisted perversions of the BBC…. ‘POINTLESS’ and pretty much all programs on the BBC are pointless pandering to minorities now.
During the legal battle for the disclosure of MPs’ expenses, it was revealed that some of Tony Blair’s paper expense files had been shredded by a Westminster official, allegedly by mistake.
Do i detect that the BBC is ignoring the outcome of the Dutch election ? That gert wilders sort of won it by getting more votes ? Despite the usual state propaganda against him and his party ?
I assume he is still banned from entering the UK – just another TTK repression – any view 77 brigade ?are we banned from mentioning you yet ? Does Echelon – or its’ latest iteration ‘harvest ‘ any online reference to it using fabulous AI?
Megyn Kelly on the danger of Islam: “All of Islam is political Islam”
“I do have a problem with Islam. I do. I think it’s totally incompatible with Western values and I don’t think people who practice Islam should be the leaders of America. I just don’t. That’s how I feel and I’m entitled to that belief because Islam is more than a religion. It is a political ideology. I mean Islam, people sometimes couch it as political Islam. All of Islam is political Islam. That’s the truth. And we can’t be afraid to say it. Like I’m sorry, but it’s just not consistent with Western values. It’s not. They’re not pro- free speech. They’re not pro-women. And they’re not pro- separation of church and state like we in America are. We view the interference of religion in governance much much differently than your average Muslim does. Even your non-radicalized Muslim…”
UK 2018
Home Office, UK Security … Islamist …. Sajid Javid.
London Mayor, UK Prosperity … Islamist … Sadiq Khan.
CEO of Bernados, UK Children … Islamist .. Javed Khan.
Prime Minister’s Special Envoy on Freedom of Religion or Belief … Islamist … Lord Ahmed.
BBC religion and ethics commissioning … Islamist … Fatima Salaria
Megyn Kelly then goes on to play a prophetic clip of Christopher Hitchens who saw the writing on the wall, all those years ago:
“This is very urgent business. Ladies and gentlemen, I beseech you. Resist it while you still can and before the right to complain is taken away from you, which will be the next thing. You will be told you can’t complain because you’re Islamophobic. The term is already being introduced into the culture as if it was an accusation of race hatred, for example, or or or bigotry, whereas it’s only the objection to the preachings of a very extreme and absolutist religion. Watch out for these symptoms. They are just symptoms of surrender. very often ecumenically offered to you by men of God in other robes, Christian and Jewish and smarmy ecumenical. These are the ones who will hold open the gates for the barbarians. The barbarians never take a city till someone holds the gates open for them. And it’s your own preachers who will do it for you and your own multicultural authorities who will do it for you. Resist. Resist it while you can.”
“The barbarians never take a city till someone holds the gates open for them.”

In September 2012, The Times published an article revealing that a confidential 2010 police report had warned thousands of child sexual exploitation crimes were being committed in South Yorkshire each year by networks of Asian men.
Yes JD was right when he said UK wouid be the first Islamic country with nuclear armed submarines …..
… I notice a certain …. Enjoyment ? With bbc news readers referring to Andrew Battenberg ….. it sort of reminds me of their joy when cake gate bought down an elected government – however dumb and left it was … might just be me though …
Someone else pointed out that a paki girl on the panel was a bought soros mouthpiece having gone to a far left training school he funds ….she stood as for MP in my neck of the woods but 2 Muslim candidates split their vote allowing Ian Duncan smith to get his final term before his peerage in 2029…
I get the distinct impression that Starmers day of reckoning is now clearly on the horizon. I’d prefer to think of it as his, “Ceaușescu moment”. Parliament square will be busy soon…………
QT
I never watch QT but someone on X noted the racial ‘complexion ‘ of the audience in – bradford or bolton or some other place overrun by islam and noted the number of whitees was not proportionate – far to many – the audience shouid have been about 90% third world invader of various kinds ….
The BBC just had to re-inforce the narrative. Hurricane Melissa was much worse because of AGW & CC. The BBC roped in a daft bint, probably from a Uni or ‘Campaigning Group’ just tell us, “It is all because of warm seas.” And I thought El Nino and La Nina warmed up the seas although La Nina is a cooling phenomenon. This daft bint believed Jamaica was in the north Atlantic! No, it is in the Caribbean Sea, darlin’, it is in the central Atlantic or even north Pacific. Fall in the north Atlantic and you would be lucky to survive 30 minutes and you would probably have hypothermia for the doctors to treat.
On 20th August 2022, a group of international speakers traveled to Nuremberg to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Nuremberg Code. Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav outlined the historical context of the Code. She stated that the Holocaust did not begin in the gas chambers, but was preceded for nine years by incremental government restrictions on personal freedoms and the suspension of legal rights. Firstly, it was to control reproduction through forced sterilisation. Then, it was to eliminate those seemed to be sub-human (Untermenschen in German). She points out violations of the Nuremberg Code in both 1933 and 2020. In both years, government dictates forbade doctors to prescribe life-saving medicines. Doctors where sacked if they chose to follow the Hippocratic oath over government protocols. The media broadcast a single government-dictated narrative. Strict censorship silenced opposing views. Few individuals objected. Those who did were sacked or imprisoned, with doctors and scientists who challenged the approved narrative being maligned, their reputations trashed, losing their license to practice, as well as having their homes and workplace raided by representatives of the government.
Vera Sharav’s speech in Nuremberg was to commemorate the anniversary that everyone else, especially the medical ethics community, ignored. In a speech, there’s a limit to how much information one can convey. A book has no such limits. Thus, we are announcing the new book “Diabolical Errors: The Strange and Unsettling History of Vaccine Science.”
It is not hyperbole to say that mass compulsory vaccination is a tool of authoritarianism, and this book tells the history clearly and simply, with details you probably have not heard before: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FXWQW2XR
Keir Starmer has stated that Britain “fiercely” protects free speech, calling it a “founding value,” but also that there are limits where it causes harm, such as incitement to violence or pedophilia.
…………………
Harriet Harman has said she “regrets” a civil liberties group she once worked for had links to pro-paedophile campaigners in the 1970s but insisted she has “nothing to apologise for”.
ChatGPT says the estimated total abortions in the UK for 2024 was 321,500. A US provisional investigation into commercial markets created by abortion found profiting from the NHS foetal distribution chain. Foetal tissue and foetal organs from aborted babies are sold for profit by abortion clinics to the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industry, and were even found in kabab meat.
The preservation of viable desired tissue and organs for use in vaccines, means that foetal body parts and other valuable tissue from the baby, have to go through a procedure of inverting the unborn child to the breech position, so that the body itself will continue to dilate the cervix during the forced death, and will maximise the chances that the head and the foetal brain can be extracted without being destroyed.
The Human cell lines of aborted babies used in the production of vaccines are (1) WI-38. The lung tissue of a female fetus to make the MMR vaccine. (2) MRC-5. The lung tissue of a male fetus to make the MMR vaccine. (3) HEK-293. The kidney cells of a female fetus to make the Janssen and Vaxzevria Covid Vaccines. (4) PER.C6. The retinal cells of a fetus to make the J&J Covid Vaccine.
The presence of Human DNA in vaccines can cause autoimmune disorders, diabetes, arthritis and cancer.
Other Human cell lines from aborted babies are (1) IMR-90. A human diploid fibroblast cell line derived from the lung tissue of the female fetus. It is widely used in biomedical research for studying ageing, senescence, and viral susceptibility. (2) Lambda.hE1. A human embryonic liver cell line, which is used in the production of certain biopharmaceutical drugs. (3) fHDFs. Cells from the dermis of a fetus that are known for their ability to repair wounds without scarring. (4) FL. Fetal Lung tissue, which is used in disease modelling, and potential for lung regeneration. (5) JEG-3. A human choriocarcinoma cell line derived from placental trophoblastic cells. They are an established model system for research on placental function, cancer biology, and endocrine signalling.
Fetal cells are also used by the cosmetic industry in anti-ageing products, and by the biotechnology industry focused on creating flavourings for the food and beverage industry.
However, the use of fetal cells from aborted babies is controversial and not widely publicised in Britain.
God/nature kills lots of fetuses too . estimated that one in five pregnancies ends in miscarriage, with around 250,000 pregnancies being lost each year in the UK
About the same as man made abortions.
A lot of societal problems stem from people having babies they are not equipped to parent properly.
Casting our mind back about 30 years St Brian Redhead was very happy with promoting the idea of ‘Tory Sleaze’.
He was provided an open goal by Neil Hamilton and cash for questions, and the establishment ground it out for every penny it was worth.
The Guardian provided the basis of the Parliamentary investigation by the then standards and privileges committee. Cash for questions had started life as “Complaints from Mr Mohamed al-Fayed, The Guardian and others against 25 Members and former Members” Were it known that 30 years on there would be very serious allegations of sexual crimes against Mohammed Fayed and that he had been assisted by his employees, it would have substantially undermined the case, if not fatally flawed it.
Tory Sleaze and the bBC went hand in hand. Would it not be appropriate to revisit the ‘news’ of the 90s when more informative evidence becomes available. The new evidence would almost certainly exonerate Neil Hamilton.
As a matter of policy when new evidence becomes available which undermines received wisdom should it not be revisited so that the record can be set straight?
This is the bBC who do narrative, don’t hold your breath.
Another stabbing spree on a train by “unkown barbarians” The Islamic home secretary has told people not to speculate. She must know who they are as they have been arrested.
This country is as dangerous as the third world all thanks to the imbeciles who have ruled over us since Blair. I have never felt as much hate as I do for politicians as I do now. God save us all
The dreadful stabbing incident on the train in Cambridgeshire is receiving only scant coverage on the BBC and the two assailants are referred to simply as “men”. Hmm…I’m afraid nowadays that tells me everything I need to know…
Meanwhile the police have confirmed that this unprovoked bloodbath is being treated as a terrorist incident.
I’ve little doubt that this latest carnage will be brushed under the carpet as quickly as possible, so the BBC and Sky can get back to the really important distractions of the day.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the “appalling” incident was “deeply concerning.” “My thoughts are with all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services for their response,” Starmer said in a statement on X.
The planned invasion of the UK is going well. We are ramping up the fear. Soon no one will be able to take public transport because the criminals run it, for criminals, and everyone else can just go and get stabbed. I don’t care.
We will now be treated by airport type security at railway stations and soon it will be forgotten why this was put in place originally. Just as airport security is now the norm. People have forgotten or do not remember that getting on a plane was once as easy as getting on a bus. If only the warning by Mr Powell was heeded in 1969. How different would our country be now? Hard to say but it certainly would be safer
The BBC Labour free money fantasy land Nearly 200,000 people on benefits could have their debts to their energy supplier *cancelled*, if they make some effort to pay what is owed.
Katy Austin had more details on #BBCBreakfast

A reply : “Their debts don’t get “cancelled” they get picked up by other energy customers.”
This should be interesting as the Islamic Zion of Pakistan is under attack by its own Hamas…the Taliban and various other groups. Note…
‘Asif, Pakistan’s defence minister, has shown Islamabad’s frustration, threatening on X to ‘completely obliterate the Taliban regime’. Responding to Taliban threats against Islamabad, he said ‘any terrorist attack or any suicide bombing inside Pakistan’ would result in their doom.’
Will the streets of London etc be filled with marching Muslims and terrorist apologists if a provoked Pakistan invades Afghanistan and launches a long and devastating war on that land?
And of course you might wonder which side the BBC will pick.
I am in London for an annual event. For some reason I decided to travel here by car. For the past few years I have come by train…and if I had followed previous years’ travel arrangements, I would have been on the train where the stabbings happened this evening. Scary, isn’t it?
Debs – it’s a “there but for the grace of God” moment. Don’t dwell on it.
I think a lot of us have those lucky occurrences. My own was leaving my Dad in his wheelchair at my home while I nipped to the Co-op. 5 minutes after I left the shop; 2 armed men arrived to hold up the post office counter. No casualties but the shop was locked down with customers and police for 2 hours. My Dad would have been frantic on his own.
Just imagine how many thousands of people – old, frail, single women etc – are now too afraid to go about their normal business as they would in a truly free country.
This is the gift of multiculturalism and one of the main reasons I detest the Left and their ethics so much. The BBC disgust me when I spot them using their weasel-word lies to cover up and protect the people whose violent and crime-ridden cultures have ruined the lives of so many people too full of fear to stand up for themselves.
Mail is reporting it as suspected terror attack…..anyone taking bets that it will be Reform’s fault should it be a terror attack? Starmer and fellow travellers have been quick to try and smear Reform claiming any criticism of immigration is spreading ‘hate and division’…..thus if you’re a Reform voter you’re basically a Far-Right racist neo-Nazi type….Starmer knows how to retake all those voters…lol.
‘”You might think this is about Andrew,” a senior Whitehall figure wonders out loud.
“But put this in your diary as a pivot point in the relationship between Palace and Parliament.”‘
What ‘senior Whitehall figure’ was this BBC ?. They have normalised the use of anonymous quotes saying EXACTLY what the BBC want say. They goy away with it in Gaza many times now the trick is spreading.
Here’s what the BBC really want to say:
‘Will this royal mess usher in a new era? And despite their conventional refusal to comment, could politicians become quicker to point out the monarchy’s flaws, and more willing to speak out?’
Another trick : phrasing a question that is utterly baseless as a way to plant the seed.
I never thought this was about Andrew. It was about Leftist hate of privileged white males. There were plenty of bigger targets to go for, but odious Andy fitted the perfectly. So they have destroyed him.
And poor old Charlie did it for them without realising they would come after him next.
‘Granting anonymity is not ideal for programme makers or for our audiences. Sources and contributors should speak on the record whenever practicable and their identities and credentials made known to the audience so that they can judge the source’s credibility, reliability and whether or not they are in a position to have sufficient knowledge of the subject or events.”
“When it is not self-evident to the audience we should explain to them the reasons why the production granted anonymity to a source.” https://www.bbc.com/editorialguidelines/guidance/anonymity
I can see no reason under these guidlines why the identity of this “senior Whitehall figure” has to be kept secret.
And in the same article we have
“”The truth is we are very supportive of the Royal Family and the King,” one opposition source said. “But lots of people we spoke to knocking on doors were so unhappy, so we felt it needed to get sorted.”
And
“During royal scandals, “you breathe a sigh of relief as you guys – the media – go crackers over something else,” a former No 10 official told me.”
And
“But one insider tells me: “There are quite a lot of politicians in both houses who have wanted to get into this over the years and now Andrew has opened the door ajar and they can now push it fully open and go in.”
I have a feeling all of the dozens of anonymous quotes the BBC use from ‘insiders’ are actually from a very select few who share the BBC’s far-Left ideology. And of course some who do not even exist if the BBC think they can get away with writing it themselves – just like all the Gaza quotes.
I notice they are always in favour of the agenda : I don’t recall a single one sticking a knife into anyone the BBC support.
As usual, all the knobs in the HoC are muttering “thoughts were with all those injured and affected”.
Here’s an idea – why not actually DO SOMETHING about the problems with these murderers? You know who they are, you know where they live, you know the sort of vermin they are! You also know that the legal system is not being used in the interests of British Citizens, and the police are tied up in knots with irrelevant clap-trap invented on the back of woke blindness and stupidity.
(Exhales… as just like expecting honesty from the bBC and Mohammed St, there’s no need to hold my breath).

Haah!
Just taken a call from a lovely friend, the phone’s next to the PC and I casually clicked…
Timing is everything – so I’m told…
And ‘Hear Hear’ to Fed’s title of this post! I dare any foreigner to try and make a mockery of any of our own fighting men and women, because they’ll really start to understand a few basic facts of being British!
I bet poppies will be a sell-out this year!
My Great Uncle was in The Bantam Regiment. He’d been a miner, and Bantams were short, stocky, tough as nails and a last resort as most of the taller men had already enlisted, and had been killed.
He never came back either. RIP.
Scrob – no one goal hanging tonight … I thought everyone was out trick or treating … londonistsn has thankfully been hit with torrential storms …
Probably right Fed!
I had to stay here at the desk, because the dog was just petrified by the racket from some fireworks, and was hiding underneath!
At one stage, shaking like a leaf, she was climbing all over the cables, (PC, printer etc), and I was worried that she’d stick a claw in a socket or something, so I finished up under there with her, trying to quieten her down…
I guess the thought of an ageing Scrobs, lying full length under a big desk, with a tincture too far away to reach and Alexa playing ‘The Lark Ascending’, may be a consideration too much for stronger mortals visiting here, but there you go!
Scrobie, congratulations! You have got to have a go at ‘three-in-a-row’ now. What are you doing on Sunday night? You might think about cancelling.
Fed, approve of the sentiments in your Thread header. Among the saints in Glory will be my late parents. I thank them (and God) for the Christian upbringing they gave me and my sister. 🙂
Thank you, Uppers!
Similar sentiments here – in fact my dad had considered Holy Orders at a young age, but WW2 arrived…
The Christian beliefs, mantras and rules were instilled in our family from a very early age! My sister reminds me that for a time, we were never allowed to wear Jeans on a Sunday! Dad was The Rector’s Warden, I was either in the choir, or serving at the alter, (very high church), and on some heavy occasions there might be over twenty of us lads from the village, holding candles, pouring out the wine, collecting the Sacrament, swinging the thurible, (the youngest chap carried the Boat), standing on the altar steps with a huge plate for the Wardens to give me the collection. At school, we had daily chapel, and twice on Sundays…
Senora O’Blene had the ‘rules’ drummed into her at various convents and schools, while her parents were flying for our country in the Far East, and when we eventually landed together, we decided that we’d had enough ‘religion’ to last us a lifetime – and it was and we did!
I would just like to say that another bottle of wine was circulating last night. One abstemious day……it could be the start of a thriller.
Rachel Reeves’ house is in Dulwich. Ellie Reeves’ constituency is East Dulwich. And I don’t think it has been resolved the question that Rachel from accounts claimed her main residence was in Leeds. I haven’t watched the BBC for years. Is Panorama still on the go? I am sure there is a programme in all this for the BBC.
sensible chaps vs Guardian
There are lots of women like that idiot Guardian hack on social media.
Every so often I check the facebook profile of the ones making far-Left comments like her. And every single time they are a list of anti-Right, anti-Trump posts with just 2 or 3 others ‘like’ing them.
But it never occurs to these people that perhaps the problem is with them, not others. It’s one of the Left’s defining characteristics to have very thick skin and no shame whatsoever about what they do. It just makes them hate everyone else even more.
JonC, you are quite right. these ’causes’ seem to catch elderly wimmin like Polly. You’ve seen it with Palestine Action. Then there is Global Warming and Climate Change.
I have a theory on this. Marx’s theory simply does not pass the basic test of does the theory work? It does not. If the practice is wrong then so must be the theory. Intellectually therefore this requires a bit of gymnastics for Marxists. Ultimately the only safe place for a Marxist is to claim that I am right (because I say so) and that requires entitled arrogance.
This is the primary hallmark of a socialist but entitled arrogance also provides the only discernable philosophy of a socialist which is that the end justifies the means. In simple terms if I need to go and murder 39m people to get my way, then I do so because it achieves the outcome I want. The outcome I want is right because I say so. Intellectualism is so straight forward.
That we have a bubble dwelling swamp tells you everything that we need to know about the bBC and the establishment.

Andrew’s move out of Royal Lodge may not happen until new year
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2emmdnw82yo
Goodness me : the BBC are like frenzied zombies ripping at a corpse.
In what way does this story qualify as headline UK news ?. It’s November now with Xmas in the middle.
As usual with agenda topics like this, the headline is just an excuse to re-run the same story and pile on the pressure. All this for a man who has not been charged with anything, there is no evidence he actually did anything and he denies doing anything.
Of course he did do it – but if shagging a willing, gorgeous prostitute was a reason to be destroyed, the BBC would be decimated. At least she was a woman, he didn’t bully her into it and he isn’t a kiddy fiddler.
Not saying I have any time for the odious Andrew Battenburg – but the hypocrisy and double standards of the activists is off the scale.
Amazing how it has diverted all the attention away from Reeves and Starmer isn’t it ?.
Defund these shameless far-Left activist scum. They should not get public money to do things like this.
Andrew, Andrew, Andrew.
Times radio is the same and is unlistenable now. All this because of some some prostitute he may or may not have banged 30 years ago.
Wotabout the married slapper that did Ferguson during lockup? Wotabout married Hancock who did one of his underlings during lockup?
The bBC and Times just will not expose the greatest criminal medical marshal law that was inflicted on the UK taking us further into bankruptcy.

Stumbled across the BBC’s version of ‘Professor T’ the other day. The highly-praised Belgian original looks good so I thought that maybe this sticks to the same story and isn’t stuffed with BBC wokeness.
I should have known better. Immediately after the credits, we are with 2 police-persons. A young black female and a white man about the same age. She acts superior and calls him ‘sergeant’ and I began to wonder if it was true : that she was in charge !. Then 2 more whitey males arrived (one twice her age) who then start treating her like Inspector Poirot ace-detective. So 3 white males and a young black girl in a police team – and she is in charge of all of them.
Never happened. Yet another agenda-lie from the far-Left BBC showng how they WANT it to be, not how it is in the real world.
Off.
I wonder if it was like that all the way through.
Actually JohnC the original Belgian Professor T was superb. You can find it on the channel 4 site as part of Walter Presents which has some other excellent non woke dramas. I failed to see why the BBC would waste money on what was already excellent although they probably thought lets wokify this. I refused to watch it.
I’ve looked around the net Doc and only found it in the original Belgian with Belgian subtitles. It does look good – in that weird European sort of way.
One I really did enjoy was ‘Trapped’ set in Iceland. The first was superb. The second went woke and was shit. Not sure if I’ve seen the third.
I always watch GB News as I’m performing my early morning calisthenics routine and some truly dreadful news has just popped up that nearly had me dropping my dumbbell. BORDER FORCE STAFF ARE TO GO ON STRIKE…

No less than twelve anti-Andrew chortling stories on the BBC home page this morning as they revel in their success in assisting in the taking of a royal scalp.

No I think the Beeb will stay clear of hounding a dying man but it’ll be open season again on The Princess of Wales soon.
They are treading around the edges Digg and seeing how the ground lies. They will be waiting for an opportunity to present itself then Charlie will be next.
And he will : the idiot can’t help but meddle in politics.
They will do what they always do : be gentle at first and then keep pushing out the red-line until someone shouts. Then they will quickly pull back a little and stay there for a while to let it become the new ‘norm’. Then they will do it again. And again.
You can’t have a socialist state with a monarch. And that is their ultimate goal – but they will play it softly, softly catch the monkey.
I always felt The King attending Davos or COP meetings was dancing with the devil. If you want an amorphous world with no defined countries, getting rid of monarchies is obvious.
It seems the path to a net zero UK sunny uplands and tweeting larks is paved with lies.

Scam after Scam after Tory/Labour/Green Party scam….
Elton John generated controversy by stating he bought carbon credits to offset the private jet flight he provided for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, making their trip “carbon neutral”. This action, while intended to mitigate the environmental impact, sparked a debate about the effectiveness of carbon offsetting, with some critics calling it insufficient and a form of “greenwashing”.
……….
In 2023, the UK spent £4.3 billion of its aid budget on in-donor refugee and asylum seeker costs, which accounted for 28% of the entire ODA budget.
Of this 2023 figure, approximately £2.5 billion was spent by the Home Office specifically on asylum accommodation, much of it on hotels.
For the current financial year (2025/26), the Home Office plans to spend an estimated £2.2 billion of ODA, mainly on asylum accommodation costs.
In the previous financial year (2024/25), the amount spent was around £2.3 billion.
“At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said. Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: “This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.”

Andrew Neil published on X the data that showed other major countries used more gas and it cost them more…but their electricity prices were lower.
Funny how the BBC can’t find that data.
Would he have been able to ‘find’ such data if still within the W1A hive?
And they just can’t stop. Here’s another utterly un-newsworthy agenda article being pushed as the top headline by the BBC.
Andrew should answer Epstein questions in US, Democrats say
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3dnnpvjkjvo
Do they BBC ?. ALL Democrats ???.
‘Members of a US congressional committee investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case have intensified their calls for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to answer questions about his links to the late sex offender.’
Another utterly misleading, specifically worded piece of left-wing propaganda from the BBC. It has been written to read like the whole committee have intensified their calls.
In fact it’s just 4 in a committee of 47. And there is zero chance it will happen. But the BBC write the article almost as if it has happened. The entire article is basically a lie but written in the usual weasel BBC way to give the impression it’s true.
No way this gormless looking DEI clone is the driving force behind this article. She has just edited it according to instructions from that anonymous left-wing activist team who wield the real power of that multi-billion pound budget.

We might wonder why the Reeves illegal letting story became public during the the Andrew defenestration. Smarmer would have been well aware of the Andrew situation he would have been briefed and consulted weeks or even months ago that Andrew would be stripped of his titles, he saved the Reeves story up for the event.
It was usefully the day after PMQ’s as well which is very curious, will Smarmer even be around for the next one?
Flotsam – I felt the same – I get the feeling that whoever the new number 10 communications czar is – is much better than before and good at massaging the weekly bad news ….

Whoever has the job of managing the Labour Government bad news has a big job. A Knighthood is due.
It appears that the populations of every country on the planet has human rights, even when they’re ignored. Except this one, we don’t have any at all.
Let us all stop funding UK terrorism!
It would seem Khalid Masood (Westminster Attack 22.03.2017 5 Innocents Killed) was on benefits which comes out of National Insurance payments by the workers of the UK. Thus, it would seem prior to these findings the workers in the UK were unknowingly funding terrorism.
But now we know terrorists operate using welfare benefits it would seem we are knowingly paying terrorists.
Can I suggest that the Government please make sure NI payments by UK workers don’t go into the hands of terrorists by removing the terrorists in the first place. Can you also calculate how much we have/are funded terrorism via welfare benefits by simply getting all known terrorists (left,right,islamic) arrested to-date and those on the watch list and check welfare payments made to them or their immediate family (under various names possibly).
Another example is where imams preaching intolerance such as Anjem Choudary (preached hate 1999-2016) to his hundreds of worshippers (5 times a day, everyday), can all imams be checked if they are on welfare benefits, paid by UK workers, and these payments be stopped immediately. It is the community that needs to fund the imams if they want religious teachings, similar to how the Church of England was funded with donations in the past.
. . . .
The father-of-four (Anjem Choudary preaching hate 1999-2016) takes home more than £25,000 a year in benefits and lives in a £320,000 house in Leytonstone
. . .
“…and don’t you worry. It’s coming to a place near you…we cannot have state subsidized preachers…give it up or give it to your deadliest enemy and pay for the rope that will choke you.“
Getting the real agenda for the Andrew stories. ‘Today’ telling us a US committee, impression given it is run by Democrats, was demanding Andrew reveal all….but the committee is controlled by Republicans….and we get to the meat and potatoes when Justin Webb asks the Democrat a leading question as to why they weren’t also hunting down Americans…..answer….we’ll get to Trump. Of course it wasn’t the committee making these demands but Democrat members of that committee…..Webb missed the obvious question…if Trump then also Clinton?
Then we had on a lefty from the New Statesman who mocked and disparaged the Royal Family and the concept of it…he wants a Republic and the BBC told us this was opeing the door to the dissolution of the Monarchy.
So Get Trump and disband the Monarchy….pretty much BBC narratives all along underlying everything.
BBC very excited that museums should hand over their ‘loot’ to Egypt. Their report was very pro this….and not a single person invited on to cast doubt upon the idea.
Of course the interest in ancient Egypt was generated by Westerners….Egyptians didn’t give a hoot about the pyramids or their history….other than to actually loot the tombs for treasure themselves. The Western archaeologists in fact protected and ensured massive interest in these artifacts which might otherwise have been destroyed or left to rot.
You can see the BBC attitude in thsi sentence…
‘The Rosetta Stone, found in 1799, provided the key to deciphering hieroglyphics. It was discovered by the French army and was seized by the British as war booty. ‘
The British didn’t ‘seize it as war booty’….there was a long series of negotiations with the French resulting in a document being signed by the French, the British and…their Ottoman allies at the time.
Not exactly ‘seized’ then…..and done in conjunction with the Ottomans….something the BBC forgets to tell us.
Pug ,
I agree the entire legacy media seem to obsessed with doing Trump as much harm as possible. I watched a recent interview of Niall Fergusson, the historian,by Charlie Rose a globalist talk show host in the US.
Rose was incredulous that Fergusson didn’t think that Trump was a fascist and was doing much that was good for America. He simply couldn’t believe that Fergusson was serious.
But the longer that they exclusively focus on Trump they are not paying attention to Vance who I think will push and broaden the Trump counter revolution when he becomes President.
Bit of dishonesty from Andrew Neil…
‘The UK’s post-Brexit payments to the EU will top £50billion. We’ve already paid £44billion since leaving in 2020 (ONS). Another £8billion is due.
This is the exit deal the useless Tories negotiated.
At the time they denied it would even be £40billion. Some of us pointed out it would be more.
The EU took hopelessly unprepared Tory governments for a ride, running circles round them and our civil service in negotiations, leaving the rest of us to pick up the enormous tab.’
Yes the Tories under May were totally useless and underhand…May really being an EU stooge who lied to us…remember ‘no deal is better than a bad deal’ that suddenly morphed into ‘any deal is better than a no deal’…and so she put a border between us and NI….an agreement Boris was forced to sign up to.
but not just May & Co….it was the Remainer Labour, civil service, BBC and all the rest, not forgetting a devious, bullying and intransigent EU, that blocked every move towards a reasonable agreement.
The EU had no intention of making Brexit seem like a workable end…thus discouraging anyone else from contemplating leaving their iron grip and chokehold. Britain was either to be beaten in submission and dragged back into the fold or it would be beaten to a pulp…not forgetting they actually threatened to mobilise the terrorists of the IRA to stop Brexit….something the BBC cheered on.
pug, we were taken to the cleaners over Brexit. Boris bodged it and May was even worse. Lord Frost had the measure of the EU’s negotiators and we should have let him get on with it. But, iirc, Boris sacked him and took over the negotiations himself.

Megyn Kelly on the danger of Islam: “All of Islam is political Islam”
“I do have a problem with Islam. I do. I think it’s totally incompatible with Western values and I don’t think people who practice Islam should be the leaders of America. I just don’t. That’s how I feel and I’m entitled to that belief because Islam is more than a religion. It is a political ideology. I mean Islam, people sometimes couch it as political Islam. All of Islam is political Islam. That’s the truth. And we can’t be afraid to say it. Like I’m sorry, but it’s just not consistent with Western values. It’s not. They’re not pro- free speech. They’re not pro-women. And they’re not pro- separation of church and state like we in America are. We view the interference of religion in governance much much differently than your average Muslim does. Even your non-radicalized Muslim…”

Megyn Kelly then goes on to play a prophetic clip of Christopher Hitchens who saw the writing on the wall, all those years ago:
“This is very urgent business. Ladies and gentlemen, I beseech you. Resist it while you still can and before the right to complain is taken away from you, which will be the next thing. You will be told you can’t complain because you’re Islamophobic. The term is already being introduced into the culture as if it was an accusation of race hatred, for example, or or or bigotry, whereas it’s only the objection to the preachings of a very extreme and absolutist religion. Watch out for these symptoms. They are just symptoms of surrender. very often ecumenically offered to you by men of God in other robes, Christian and Jewish and smarmy ecumenical. These are the ones who will hold open the gates for the barbarians. The barbarians never take a city till someone holds the gates open for them. And it’s your own preachers who will do it for you and your own multicultural authorities who will do it for you. Resist. Resist it while you can.”
Way too late, they’ve won. It’s only a matter of (short) time until our first Muslim PM.
“The barbarians never take a city till someone holds the gates open for them.”

In September 2012, The Times published an article revealing that a confidential 2010 police report had warned thousands of child sexual exploitation crimes were being committed in South Yorkshire each year by networks of Asian men.
Offences went unprosecuted despite police and child protection agencies in Rotherham having had knowledge of these crimes for decades, the paper said.

Someone else pointed out that a paki girl on the panel was a bought soros mouthpiece having gone to a far left training school he funds ….she stood as for MP in my neck of the woods but 2 Muslim candidates split their vote allowing Ian Duncan smith to get his final term before his peerage in 2029…
I get the distinct impression that Starmers day of reckoning is now clearly on the horizon. I’d prefer to think of it as his, “Ceaușescu moment”. Parliament square will be busy soon…………
QT
I never watch QT but someone on X noted the racial ‘complexion ‘ of the audience in – bradford or bolton or some other place overrun by islam and noted the number of whitees was not proportionate – far to many – the audience shouid have been about 90% third world invader of various kinds ….
They probably had to have enough people there, that could speak English, so they could choreograph the audience reaction.
There will be someone with sign boards saying “Clap Now”, “Boo Now”, “Cheer Now” etc in English and Urdu
Yes, I hadn’t thought of that.
If it’s good enough for prison warders, it’s good enough for the dross that the bBC grab for their dire ‘live’ progs!
TOADY Watch #1 – its Climate Change innit ….
The BBC just had to re-inforce the narrative. Hurricane Melissa was much worse because of AGW & CC. The BBC roped in a daft bint, probably from a Uni or ‘Campaigning Group’ just tell us, “It is all because of warm seas.” And I thought El Nino and La Nina warmed up the seas although La Nina is a cooling phenomenon. This daft bint believed Jamaica was in the north Atlantic! No, it is in the Caribbean Sea, darlin’, it is in the central Atlantic or even north Pacific. Fall in the north Atlantic and you would be lucky to survive 30 minutes and you would probably have hypothermia for the doctors to treat.
Nuremberg Code Society – News
On 20th August 2022, a group of international speakers traveled to Nuremberg to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Nuremberg Code. Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav outlined the historical context of the Code. She stated that the Holocaust did not begin in the gas chambers, but was preceded for nine years by incremental government restrictions on personal freedoms and the suspension of legal rights. Firstly, it was to control reproduction through forced sterilisation. Then, it was to eliminate those seemed to be sub-human (Untermenschen in German). She points out violations of the Nuremberg Code in both 1933 and 2020. In both years, government dictates forbade doctors to prescribe life-saving medicines. Doctors where sacked if they chose to follow the Hippocratic oath over government protocols. The media broadcast a single government-dictated narrative. Strict censorship silenced opposing views. Few individuals objected. Those who did were sacked or imprisoned, with doctors and scientists who challenged the approved narrative being maligned, their reputations trashed, losing their license to practice, as well as having their homes and workplace raided by representatives of the government.
Vera Sharav’s speech in Nuremberg was to commemorate the anniversary that everyone else, especially the medical ethics community, ignored. In a speech, there’s a limit to how much information one can convey. A book has no such limits. Thus, we are announcing the new book “Diabolical Errors: The Strange and Unsettling History of Vaccine Science.”
It is not hyperbole to say that mass compulsory vaccination is a tool of authoritarianism, and this book tells the history clearly and simply, with details you probably have not heard before: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FXWQW2XR

Keir Starmer has stated that Britain “fiercely” protects free speech, calling it a “founding value,” but also that there are limits where it causes harm, such as incitement to violence or pedophilia.

Harriet Harman has said she “regrets” a civil liberties group she once worked for had links to pro-paedophile campaigners in the 1970s but insisted she has “nothing to apologise for”.

Sounds like BBC Verify.
It may improve but I see AI as GIGO, and where it gets input is too often such as the BBC.
ChatGPT says the estimated total abortions in the UK for 2024 was 321,500. A US provisional investigation into commercial markets created by abortion found profiting from the NHS foetal distribution chain. Foetal tissue and foetal organs from aborted babies are sold for profit by abortion clinics to the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industry, and were even found in kabab meat.
The preservation of viable desired tissue and organs for use in vaccines, means that foetal body parts and other valuable tissue from the baby, have to go through a procedure of inverting the unborn child to the breech position, so that the body itself will continue to dilate the cervix during the forced death, and will maximise the chances that the head and the foetal brain can be extracted without being destroyed.
The Human cell lines of aborted babies used in the production of vaccines are (1) WI-38. The lung tissue of a female fetus to make the MMR vaccine. (2) MRC-5. The lung tissue of a male fetus to make the MMR vaccine. (3) HEK-293. The kidney cells of a female fetus to make the Janssen and Vaxzevria Covid Vaccines. (4) PER.C6. The retinal cells of a fetus to make the J&J Covid Vaccine.
The presence of Human DNA in vaccines can cause autoimmune disorders, diabetes, arthritis and cancer.
Other Human cell lines from aborted babies are (1) IMR-90. A human diploid fibroblast cell line derived from the lung tissue of the female fetus. It is widely used in biomedical research for studying ageing, senescence, and viral susceptibility. (2) Lambda.hE1. A human embryonic liver cell line, which is used in the production of certain biopharmaceutical drugs. (3) fHDFs. Cells from the dermis of a fetus that are known for their ability to repair wounds without scarring. (4) FL. Fetal Lung tissue, which is used in disease modelling, and potential for lung regeneration. (5) JEG-3. A human choriocarcinoma cell line derived from placental trophoblastic cells. They are an established model system for research on placental function, cancer biology, and endocrine signalling.
Fetal cells are also used by the cosmetic industry in anti-ageing products, and by the biotechnology industry focused on creating flavourings for the food and beverage industry.
However, the use of fetal cells from aborted babies is controversial and not widely publicised in Britain.
We are living in satanic times. We can look to the past for help and inspiration:

God/nature kills lots of fetuses too . estimated that one in five pregnancies ends in miscarriage, with around 250,000 pregnancies being lost each year in the UK
About the same as man made abortions.
A lot of societal problems stem from people having babies they are not equipped to parent properly.
Richard – thank you – but no thanks for that and the detail – aborted tissue found in kebab meat ?
As an RC i am against the killing of babies – a mortal sin – whatever euphemisms are used to sanitise an evil trade

Or just chuck it in with the weekly wash.
The Muslim Brotherhood is plotting to conquer and destroy the United States, and they’re not even hiding it.
Everything Brigitte Gabriel says is true of the UK too, of course. Even more so, given the proportionately greater number of muslims here.
Casting our mind back about 30 years St Brian Redhead was very happy with promoting the idea of ‘Tory Sleaze’.
He was provided an open goal by Neil Hamilton and cash for questions, and the establishment ground it out for every penny it was worth.
The Guardian provided the basis of the Parliamentary investigation by the then standards and privileges committee. Cash for questions had started life as “Complaints from Mr Mohamed al-Fayed, The Guardian and others against 25 Members and former Members” Were it known that 30 years on there would be very serious allegations of sexual crimes against Mohammed Fayed and that he had been assisted by his employees, it would have substantially undermined the case, if not fatally flawed it.
Tory Sleaze and the bBC went hand in hand. Would it not be appropriate to revisit the ‘news’ of the 90s when more informative evidence becomes available. The new evidence would almost certainly exonerate Neil Hamilton.
As a matter of policy when new evidence becomes available which undermines received wisdom should it not be revisited so that the record can be set straight?
This is the bBC who do narrative, don’t hold your breath.
Another stabbing spree on a train by “unkown barbarians” The Islamic home secretary has told people not to speculate. She must know who they are as they have been arrested.
This country is as dangerous as the third world all thanks to the imbeciles who have ruled over us since Blair. I have never felt as much hate as I do for politicians as I do now. God save us all
The dreadful stabbing incident on the train in Cambridgeshire is receiving only scant coverage on the BBC and the two assailants are referred to simply as “men”. Hmm…I’m afraid nowadays that tells me everything I need to know…
Meanwhile the police have confirmed that this unprovoked bloodbath is being treated as a terrorist incident.
I’ve little doubt that this latest carnage will be brushed under the carpet as quickly as possible, so the BBC and Sky can get back to the really important distractions of the day.
You know, like all the bollocks about Andrew…
No proper description of the suspects
I wonder why ?
Tweets claim the perps shouted the usual
.. There is no proper conformation of that.
This witness reporting 4-6 people on the train stabbed.
Train attacker “was waving a large knife”.
One attacker is reported as being black male with a black top and a hoody.

Der Starmer speaks:
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the “appalling” incident was “deeply concerning.” “My thoughts are with all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services for their response,” Starmer said in a statement on X.

Translation from the French:
The planned invasion of the UK is going well. We are ramping up the fear. Soon no one will be able to take public transport because the criminals run it, for criminals, and everyone else can just go and get stabbed. I don’t care.
Alans Snackbar
We will now be treated by airport type security at railway stations and soon it will be forgotten why this was put in place originally. Just as airport security is now the norm. People have forgotten or do not remember that getting on a plane was once as easy as getting on a bus. If only the warning by Mr Powell was heeded in 1969. How different would our country be now? Hard to say but it certainly would be safer
The BBC Labour free money fantasy land
Nearly 200,000 people on benefits could have their debts to their energy supplier *cancelled*, if they make some effort to pay what is owed.
Katy Austin had more details on #BBCBreakfast

A reply : “Their debts don’t get “cancelled” they get picked up by other energy customers.”
That BBC tweet was triple ratioed
This should be interesting as the Islamic Zion of Pakistan is under attack by its own Hamas…the Taliban and various other groups. Note…
‘Asif, Pakistan’s defence minister, has shown Islamabad’s frustration, threatening on X to ‘completely obliterate the Taliban regime’. Responding to Taliban threats against Islamabad, he said ‘any terrorist attack or any suicide bombing inside Pakistan’ would result in their doom.’
Will the streets of London etc be filled with marching Muslims and terrorist apologists if a provoked Pakistan invades Afghanistan and launches a long and devastating war on that land?
And of course you might wonder which side the BBC will pick.

I am in London for an annual event. For some reason I decided to travel here by car. For the past few years I have come by train…and if I had followed previous years’ travel arrangements, I would have been on the train where the stabbings happened this evening. Scary, isn’t it?
Debs – it’s a “there but for the grace of God” moment. Don’t dwell on it.
I think a lot of us have those lucky occurrences. My own was leaving my Dad in his wheelchair at my home while I nipped to the Co-op. 5 minutes after I left the shop; 2 armed men arrived to hold up the post office counter. No casualties but the shop was locked down with customers and police for 2 hours. My Dad would have been frantic on his own.
Brissels, those were the exact words that I thought of….I am counting my blessings.
Just imagine how many thousands of people – old, frail, single women etc – are now too afraid to go about their normal business as they would in a truly free country.
This is the gift of multiculturalism and one of the main reasons I detest the Left and their ethics so much. The BBC disgust me when I spot them using their weasel-word lies to cover up and protect the people whose violent and crime-ridden cultures have ruined the lives of so many people too full of fear to stand up for themselves.
No ’emapthy porn’ on the BBC for those.
Mail is reporting it as suspected terror attack…..anyone taking bets that it will be Reform’s fault should it be a terror attack? Starmer and fellow travellers have been quick to try and smear Reform claiming any criticism of immigration is spreading ‘hate and division’…..thus if you’re a Reform voter you’re basically a Far-Right racist neo-Nazi type….Starmer knows how to retake all those voters…lol.
BTP statement:
10 people taken to hospital. 9 have life-threatening injuries.
So why are 2 ambulances still at the train station?
Yesterday I said I thought the BBC would start testinmg the ground to go after the rest of the Royal family.
They did it even quicker than I thought : this from the vile Kuenssberg:
Politicians rarely comment on the royals. That could all change after the Andrew saga
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2emj9r4j22o
‘”You might think this is about Andrew,” a senior Whitehall figure wonders out loud.
“But put this in your diary as a pivot point in the relationship between Palace and Parliament.”‘
What ‘senior Whitehall figure’ was this BBC ?. They have normalised the use of anonymous quotes saying EXACTLY what the BBC want say. They goy away with it in Gaza many times now the trick is spreading.
Here’s what the BBC really want to say:
‘Will this royal mess usher in a new era? And despite their conventional refusal to comment, could politicians become quicker to point out the monarchy’s flaws, and more willing to speak out?’
Another trick : phrasing a question that is utterly baseless as a way to plant the seed.
I never thought this was about Andrew. It was about Leftist hate of privileged white males. There were plenty of bigger targets to go for, but odious Andy fitted the perfectly. So they have destroyed him.
And poor old Charlie did it for them without realising they would come after him next.
‘Granting anonymity is not ideal for programme makers or for our audiences. Sources and contributors should speak on the record whenever practicable and their identities and credentials made known to the audience so that they can judge the source’s credibility, reliability and whether or not they are in a position to have sufficient knowledge of the subject or events.”
“When it is not self-evident to the audience we should explain to them the reasons why the production granted anonymity to a source.”
https://www.bbc.com/editorialguidelines/guidance/anonymity
I can see no reason under these guidlines why the identity of this “senior Whitehall figure” has to be kept secret.
And in the same article we have
“”The truth is we are very supportive of the Royal Family and the King,” one opposition source said. “But lots of people we spoke to knocking on doors were so unhappy, so we felt it needed to get sorted.”
And
“During royal scandals, “you breathe a sigh of relief as you guys – the media – go crackers over something else,” a former No 10 official told me.”
And
“But one insider tells me: “There are quite a lot of politicians in both houses who have wanted to get into this over the years and now Andrew has opened the door ajar and they can now push it fully open and go in.”
Why is everyone anonymous?
I have a feeling all of the dozens of anonymous quotes the BBC use from ‘insiders’ are actually from a very select few who share the BBC’s far-Left ideology. And of course some who do not even exist if the BBC think they can get away with writing it themselves – just like all the Gaza quotes.
I notice they are always in favour of the agenda : I don’t recall a single one sticking a knife into anyone the BBC support.
Terrorist incident on train. Starmer deeply concerned. Who for?
Moslem Home secretary is worried that there might be speculation!
Hell! We can’t have that. Stop thinking you plebs!
People overseas are wondering why the Brits keep taking it.
Will they take action asks the world?!
Why yes, they’ll respond with a resounding “MUSTN’T GRUMBLE” that will strike apathy into the very heart of the nation.
I’ll tell you EXACTLY what Starmer is concerned about:
He – like the BBC – are concerned that it will cause more anti-Islam sentiment among the Right.
Neither give a shit about the people stabbed.
As usual, all the knobs in the HoC are muttering “thoughts were with all those injured and affected”.
Here’s an idea – why not actually DO SOMETHING about the problems with these murderers? You know who they are, you know where they live, you know the sort of vermin they are! You also know that the legal system is not being used in the interests of British Citizens, and the police are tied up in knots with irrelevant clap-trap invented on the back of woke blindness and stupidity.
(Exhales… as just like expecting honesty from the bBC and Mohammed St, there’s no need to hold my breath).
