    A repeat of ‘Appeasement’. We have a weak government
    opening up our great country to invasion and doing nothing about it .

    It seems a former PM called ‘Cameron ‘ has been diagnosed with prostate cancer . I can’t see what stage he was at – but I think level 4 is the ‘ goodbye ‘ stage .

    Anyway he is now campaigning for routine national screening – along with the Asian ex PM who is now up for it .

    I don’t know about you – but it seems pretty sick that ex PMs – who could have done national prostate screening – but didn’t – now favour it .

    Let Cameron and rishi get what they deserve . Screening is very personal to me – and I’ve gone outside their state NHS to get my own screening ….. screw them – and thd current NHS regime .

      Approximately 1 in 56 men (1.8%) get prostate cancer between the ages of 50 and 59, according to the American Cancer Society.

      https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/19129087.former-prime-minister-david-cameron-gets-covid-jab/

      As many men die from prostate cancer as women die from breast cancer and yet there is no screening program for men.

        Atlas – the strangest thing is that – apparently – coloured men are twice as likely to develop prostate cancer – and die from it – than whitees … yet the excuses for avoiding national screening has been in place for years …

      Fairly recently (like within the last 4 months), I read somewhere that outcomes from PSA screening were little different from outcomes from men just seeing their doctor when they notice a problem. PSA is a very inaccurate test, which can cause a lot of distress unnecessarily. I am not suggesting men don’t have the test, but it doesn’t protect as much as people might think.

        I think that is right. My doctor told me the PSA produced false positives and false negatives. So with me they chucked me in a tube that went buzz buzz very loudly for about 30 minutes.

        If they have a national screening program then they would probably need to combine the PSA test with other tests to produce reliable results.

        My guess is the anychess would prefer to inject children with puberty blockers than spend money on tests for men.

          When I was refused a PSA test – and the finger test – I formally complained but got brushed off . I went private . I then got a free test from a charity a few years later .

          I asked the charity – prostate UK – why my GP refused to. The nurse said a lot of doctors doesn’t like doing the finger test and they don’t know what they are doing ..

          To me any test – reliable or not – is better than no test . My older brother got prostate cancer so im in a high risk category .

          I will take any measure to detect prostate cancer early to minimise contact with the NHS – but each to their own – and it’s a reminder to me that the State doesn’t care about certain groups – like me ….

          As for Cameron – no comment .- maybe they need to get that cyclist with stage 4 prostate cancer – although he said the clock is ticking for him …

            Morning Fed,
            I’ve got a bit of recent history regarding this. I was invited, along with all the old farts (No fartesses) of our parish to a talk on prostate health at our local practice one evening. Our top doc has been at the practice forever, and he put it simply :-
            “There are about thirty of you here; I recognise pretty much all of you, but I can vouch that no more than seven or eight of you have had my finger up their bum. No excuses, get booked in”.
            Wise words, so I did. All clear. Apparently the finger test, despite its base nature and potential for embarrassment, is still by far the best method. PSA not so good as a diagnostic tool, false positives and negatives, but it is an excellent way of backing up the “manual” method.
            As a further recommendation, when I was asked if I had any other issues in the area, I mentioned that I occasionally had blood in my urine. After a series of tests, I’m now on immunotherapy for stage four metastatic kidney cancer and corticosteroids for adrenal failure. Two years on and I’m feeling just peachy but without a routine prostate exam and a chance conversation with the doctor I would have been dead in six months.
            I think the unreliability of the PSA, and the finger being the only option is partly behind (No pun intended, but made me smile) the reluctance to make the test routine, a la breast cancer. Strange that there is no routine breast cancer checking for men though; not as common of course, but still a real danger.

    Going around the City of Durham today and comparing it to my first visit in the late 1960s illustrates the total destruction of our country. Today it was full of women with Islamic dress and others from all corners of Asia and Africa The city has now turned into an ultramodern soleless place full of Chinese shops, Turkish barbers and Japanese nail bars. The milburngate area now an ugly ediface with fast food outlets and night clubs. I expect the next step in the destruction will be to turn the magnificant cathedral into a mosque.

    The tea rooms, independant shops and local banks all gone. It just does not feel English anymore. From now on I will avoid the place as it is sad to see how greedy food chains and Amercan franchises not forgetting the University building eyesores have destroyed a once beautiful small city

      Most towns and cities only have the same shops as all other towns and cities. But may I recommend North and East Yorkshire? There are still several Betty’s tea rooms in York, Harrogate, Skipton, Ilkley and Northallerton (if I remember correctly). Beverley too has a reasonable number of independent cafes, butchers shops, a fishmonger and a book shop etc.

      I go out of my way to use independent shops and always try to pay cash.

      I didn’t appreciate a BBC photographer from London pitching up at a fishmonger I used to use. He had not asked in advance whether he could come and photograph the shop (one that people would travel many miles to use). Whilst waiting for the fishmonger to return from getting my fish from the wholesalers, the photographer asked me if I popped in everyday for a chat. No, I had driven some miles to get good quality fish. The photographer was obviously a Highgate artsy idiot, who assumed people in the north still clustered round their local shops.

        Northallerton has a brilliant High Street. Lewis and Cooper a food shop like no other, simply brilliant. Barkers dept’ store, Betty’s tea rooms and a two minute drive from the High St. Sam Turner farm suppliers selling everything from designer clothes to combine harvesters. A bit like going back to what England was like 50+ years ago.

        Deborah,
        I live in the Yorkshire dales Harrogate , Skipton and Ilkley are all within 30 minutes drive . Sadly I have to tell you that the plague which JR refers to has reached all three, Skipton being the worst affected. By the way Skipton doesn’t have a Bettys, the others do. Both Skipton and Harrogate have Mosques , small ones but Mosques none the less , a sort of starter kit for larger ones later I expect.
        Last year in Ilkley I was strolling along the main shopping street , still very pleasant, when I came across a stall that had been set up offering free Korans !! The bearded men running the stall mistook my astonishment for interest and held a copy out for me to inspect and peruse , telling me that they could see that I was interested .My wife pulled me away before I addressed the chaps in blunt Anglo Saxon .
        Further up the Dales some of the public footpath walks now have added to the directional signpost showing walkers the way arrows showing the direction of Mecca ! For unknown reason these additions keep on being removed.
        Bolton Abbey , a well known beauty spot, opens some of its land fir Eid celebrations.
        So you see the invasion is reaching even here, nowhere is safe.

    ‘The BBC is facing a union backlash over cost-cutting plans drawn up by Tim Davie, the outgoing director-general.

    Job cuts could be considered as part of plans to save as much as £100m a year, it has been reported.’

    Might have thought that with so many being asked to resign over sex scandals, racism, anti-semitism and basic bias there surely can’t be anyone left…apart from the DEI commissars.

    Oh yeah…why not…’go woke go broke!’

    Ladies and gentle men : I give you this years winner of the most dishonest Left-wing projection article of 2025.

    Ignorance is bliss: rightwing media largely keeps quiet on Trump-Epstein saga
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/22/rightwing-media-trump-epstein-files

    Truly astounding. Lets see the extreme-TDS Guardian idiot:

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTX9resZFq3qoCdC2lOQtP1NxZ26BFG_tMGA1hVm_M-PmAkPpNbMwlfzE1k8klhBrbBuzo&usqp=CAU

    Someone should remind him how:
    a) Hypocrites like him totally ignored the Epstein files while the Democrats were in office. Then went into frenzy mode when those same Democrats starting releasing document which mentioned Trump – even though NOTHING incriminating was said.
    b) Now Trump has ordered them released, they have – without any shame whatso ever – totally dropped the story and are instead focusing on total non-issues like this one to keep up the anti-Right narrative.

    I checked the authors other articles and they are all pretty much the same. He truly hates Trump and the Right.

    Adam Gabbatt you are the stereotype scumbag lefty journalist. You are a net negative on the world. You have no shame and no conscience. People like you are the reason the world is now such a shit-show.

    AI tells me: ‘based in New York. He is primarily known for his work with The Guardian rather than as a direct BBC employee, although he has been mentioned in BBC contexts’

    Of course he has.

    More sexist drivel which is rooted in misandry being pushed as world headline news by your activist BBC.

    I wonder who in the BBC hierarchy decided they should make such a big issue from this story. I’m sure ‘Lana Lam’ was just doing what she was told.

    I have to say that I most certainly don’t see the 40% white English males being fairly represented in the clone-shots I keep putting up.

    Why is the BBC so dismissive?

    ‘Several media outlets reported they had seen an alternative plan from Kyiv’s European allies led by the UK, France and Germany. The BBC has not seen the document and Rubio denied any knowledge of its existence. ‘

    And that’s it…no more about the European plan.

    Could it be that they like having Trump as the evil whipping boy who does Putin’s bidding? The BBC likes to tell us that the initial Trump peace-plan is everything Russia wants…thus Trump is in Putin’s pocket…but er…the Telegraph reports that the European plan caps the Ukrainian army, allows Russia back into the G8 and forces Ukraine to hold elections[in which Russia hopes a Putin stooge will be voted in]…both Putin aims….and then there will be negotiations on borders….which is Europe kicking the can down the road and not openly admitting the obvious…Russia is winning and Ukraine will almost certainly have to cede land to them…ala Crimea. Not a matter of being in Putin’s pocket just facts however the BBC wants to dress it up as Trump being bad.

    The BBC’s reporting on Ukraine is decidedly dishonest and misleading and shaped more it seems to portray Trump in a bad light than to enlighten us with the truth.

      The EU (and Starmer trying to hold on to their coat-tails) are in a bit of a fix at the moment. They REALLY don’t want peace in Ukraine because it means a) No NATO in there and b) Russia keep the territory the EU want.

      They will be frantically trying to work out a way to sabotage it. I watch with interest to see what they try – we’ve already had a couple of attempts to escalate things from Tusk but they were so weak, even the BBC couldn’t hype them up enough.

      Of course the game isn’t over until the fat lady sings.

      The longer this goes on, the more Russia are fine-tuning their combat tactics. For instance, I read the other day that they adjusted the flight profile of their Iskander missiles such that now the Patriots miss them. Doesn’t bode well for us if the EU DO manage to get involved.

          You know Fed, I occasionally wonder if I’m ever missing anything by not having a TV licence. I usually look at the listings and ask if there is anything I would watch if I didn’t need a licence. That list is the most shite in the history of shiteness; If that is the best that the BBC can produce, after a year of material has been pared down to the most outstanding, then I think I’ll pass for another year.
          I also would love to know if there is anybody out there who has cancelled their licence and regretted it so much that they have renewed their subscription.
          I imagine its a similar number to those who have never had a covid jab or booster, and now regrets their decision.

    Over to the in-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror for the joke of the day – oh how we do enjoy a good giggle…

    Exclusive: Budget poll… Help us, Chancellor… Cost of living is No1 priority… but we’ll stomach tax rises if richest bear the brunt

    Let me translate: People are saying by all means put up taxes to give me lots more government gives – but make someone else pay for it all.

    A poll shows 64% of voters back tax hikes on wealth (Mirror) – Surely the figure should be higher? Only a paltry 64% wanting higher tax on the wealthy suggests the other 36% must be the wealthy!

    Patriarchy report

    First Australian woman to win a Michelin star dies – sympathy to friends and family, obviously. But, Lana Lam, BBC, you lose me at the phrase “First Female” – what with our looming: “death by a thousand taxes” Budget (Indy) – from our much celebrated “First Female” Chancellor.

    What was wrong with British export to Aus Graham Kerr the Galloping Gourmet? There’s one for the teenagers.

    In other shock news…

    Europe stands on the brink of defeat to Russia – and it’s Trump’s fault (Ian Birrell, i paper)

    Shirley Ballas choked on a fish bone – I wonder of The Donald could have been involved?

    Blimey, where to even begin with this cockamamie Trump Derranged excuse for liberal Western military ineptitude?

    How’s about the feminisation of Western political culture? – The clue was there from the start: Ukraine war: Johnson says if Putin were a woman he would not have invaded… The UK prime minister said the “crazy, macho” invasion was a “perfect example of toxic masculinity” and he called for “more women in positions of power” (Adam Durbin, BBC, June 2022)

    Who’d a thunk it, toxic masculinity wins on the battlefield?

    And there’s us Westerners with our GI Jane mentality.

    The old Soviet Red Army kept a close watch on their fighting men with a political commissar looking over every officer’s shoulder.

    With us Westerners it’s a human rights lawyer: SAS soldiers hit out at Starmer’s Troubles bill… ministers risk becoming “apologists for terrorists” by scapping the effective immunity granted to Troubles veterans (Telegraph)

    Turns out you can’t fight natural resource-rich, swimming in fossil-fuel reserves, Russia with rebounding economic sanctions that hit our standard of living worse than theirs.

    Don’t get me started on our Just In Time bear minimum supplies of armaments – it’s not like the military can be like Sainsburys – you can’t win against the bear with the bear minimum of supplies on your stock shelves.

    While we’re on the subject of foreign policy…

    Here comes our second chuckle of the morning

    The globalist, Brexit-allergic, corporate WEF endorsing, FT frets about adverse political influence on our media: Mail close to putting seal on Telegraph ownership… Lord Rothermere’s DMGT… the sort of power to influence politics last seen when Rupert Murdoch bought the Sun, Times and News of the World

    Oh, the humanity! The mildly conservative Telegraph under the same ownership as the ever-excitable Daily Mail – perish the thought!

    Big corporate appears to advocate taxing us plebs until the pips squeak right now – and getting it over with – so for them it can be business as usual: Investors warn Reeves of market risks in postponing the fiscal pain in Budget… risks of backloading… extended freeze on personal tax thresholds that will generate extra revenue only from 2028-29 (FT)

      Military block wind farms over radar fears
      By James Randerson 26 April 2002

      Wind farms typically last for 20 to 25 years, with some modern turbines operating longer depending on maintenance and environmental conditions.

      Solar panels have an average lifespan of 25 to 30 years, but they don’t stop working after this time; instead, their efficiency gradually decreases.

      Wind turbine foundations use large amounts of concrete and steel, with typical onshore bases requiring between 600 and 1,000 cubic metres of concrete per turbine.

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51325101
      Welcome to the wind turbine graveyard. It stretches a hundred metres from a bend in the North Platte River in Casper, Wyoming.

      Between last September and this March, it will become the final resting place for 1,000 fibreglass turbine blades.

    Yes, UK pothole problems are worsening due to a combination of underinvestment in road maintenance, increased strain on local councils, and the impacts of climate change like freeze-thaw cycles and hotter weather. This has led to record numbers of reported potholes, a high estimated cost for repairs, and a rise in vehicle damage and accidents. The total estimated cost to fully repair local roads in England and Wales has reached nearly £17 billion.

        He said the first time was accidental after looking at a tractor website, but the second time – in the House of Commons – was deliberate.

The House of Lords’ standards watchdog launched separate investigations into the two men following an undercover operation by the Guardian newspaper.

    BBC News: Protest ban outside abortion clinic in force: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1e7zx2eqv4o

    Estimated total abortions in the UK for 2024 was 321,500.

    The investigation conducted by Victoria Evans, “Commercial Markets Created by Abortion: Profiting from the Foetal Distribution Chain”, and presented to the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in Rome.

    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 foetus to make the MMR vaccine. (2) MRC-5. The lung tissue of a male foetus to make the MMR vaccine. (3) HEK-293. The kidney cells of a female foetus to make the Janssen and Vaxzevria Covid Vaccines. (4) PER.C6. The retinal cells of a foetus 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 foetus. 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 foetus that are known for their ability to repair wounds without scarring. (4) FL. Foetal 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.

    Foetal 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: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c207p54m45dt

    Section 9 of the Public Order Act 2023 makes it a criminal offence to protest about the processing of dead babies for the commercial markets created by Abortion.

    Former BBC advisers being questioned by MPs after claims of bias in leaked memo
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp34d5ly76lt

    Prescott is asked by MPs about his criticisms of the Panorama documentary on Donald Trump. Here’s a summary of those exchanges:

    When he initially watched it, the programme struck him as “having an issue to do with balance” but he says he assumed Panorama would also do an equivalent programme on 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris
    When the EGSC tasked David Grossman to look at the documentary, he says management didn’t accept there was an issue with the coverage of the US election or the Panorama programme
    It’s put to Prescott that Grossman wrote that the coverage of the presidential election was “generally excellent” – Prescott repeats there are “incipient problems” that need addressing in the BBC and Grossman did not give the BBC “a gold star”
    Prescott is asked again why he raised concerns about the Panorama programme – he says it was a “stark example” of something that went wrong and wasn’t addressed
    It’s further put to him Kamala Harris wasn’t found to have played an active role in the 6 January Capitol riots, so what would an equivalent programme look like? It would examine her track record and the political consequences of if she was elected, he says

    What Should Be Done About Britain’s Impending Collapse?
    https://dailysceptic.org/2025/11/24/what-should-be-done-about-britains-impending-collapse/

    The BBC says the government should prevent collapse by controlling everyone using (1) The Office Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU). (2) The Military Intelligence, Section 5 (MI5). (3) The Military Intelligence, Section 6 (MI6). (4) The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). (5) Defence Intelligence (DI). (6) The Joint Intelligence Organisation (JIO). (7) The Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism (OSCT). (8) The National Crime Agency (NCA). (9) The Breakthrough Media Network Ltd. (10) The Office For Censorship Obedience & Manipulation (OFCOM). (11) The National Internet Intelligence Investigations Team (NIIIT). (12) The 77th Brigade Domestic and International Psyops Teams. (13) The GCHQ JTRI Group, and (14) The BBC lead Trusted News Initiative (TNI).

    The Deep State British Establishment can also protect itself from collapse by getting Secret Courts to issue hundreds of Super-Injunctions and thousands of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to censor and silence critics, court witnesses, victims of rape and the vaccine injured, and use hundreds of DSMA-Notices to keep ‘Deep State’ Crimes secret.

    The government has also made sure that all the Big Farmers are protected by liability protections, if they continue to kill more people using unsafe and ineffective vaccines. So hard luck to those who get a jab.
