Weekend 29th November 2025

The post budget – warm glow – as the Chancellor seems to have been well and truly caught lying about the reasons why taxes have had to go up . The BBC – of course – will rally round or create another poisonous slur against an unapproved popular politician … who won’t be going near the BBC makeup department for a while . And Rest in Peace Peter Whittle – a sad loss.

    Interesting to see the ‘Reeves lied’ story now promoted to the top of the news after being downplayed by the BBC for days….a Chancellor who used the budget not for the good of the country but to play party politics….lying to the country about raising taxes…and doing so in order to pay off her Corbynite backbenchers.

    A few days ago we had this softsoaping from Faisal Islam which was very Reeves friendly in which he explains away the lies and bluffoonery…it’s all a great plan…it’s looking good…but of course no-one can predict the future…

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyvg3en12r1o

    ‘So this gets us to the big story of this Budget of two halves. A Budget that borrows to spend on political priorities in the next year or so, and then taxes hard to get borrowing down in the final years of the decade.

    This is about buying breathing space, politically and economically. The two factors are inseparable.

    It’s no guarantee of success, but there is some space now for a more stable backdrop.’

    Or he could have just summed it up as the usual socialist mess of tax, spend and borrow large…with no growth and the economy left in tatters with ‘no money left’.

    There is a news story going around regarding a group of Labour MP’s pressurising for a return to the EU. On GBNews a Labour or Liberal Remoaner suggested a huge amount of damage had been done by Brexit but what wasn’t mentioned was the effects of Covid and the destructive effects of the anti Brexit politicians, the BBC and others. The pushback against the Brexit vote damaged Britain. If we had been able to proceed properly with Brexit without all the interference everything would be a lot better now for us all.

    ‘The BBC’s giddy embrace of the ‘Farage racist school days’ story is one of the most cynical and hypocritical things the corporation has done of late. And that’s saying something. ‘

    Imagine a 13 year old boy being accused, with no proof, that he had said something racist and the national broadcaster launching a massive media operation to demonise and vilify him…actually you don’t need to imagine because you can see if everyday on the BBC as it conducts what is absolutely and blatantly a political campaign designed to paint Nigel Farage as a racist and anti-Semite…..this is the BBC using and abusing its position and power to rig our democracy as it relentlessly tries to portray Farage as some kind of Hitler. It’s a tactic worthy of the most oppressive dictatorships as they try to crush their opponents…the BBC even quite happy for a ‘comedian’ to suggest someone should throw acid into Farage’s face.

    From Spiked….

    ‘The BBC’s staggering hypocrisy on anti-Semitism’
    ‘The BBC works with journalists who literally want to ‘gas the Jews’ and yet it thinks it can lecture Nigel Farage? Please.

    Finally, the BBC’s News at Ten is covering the scourge of anti-Semitism in the UK. What is it focussing on? Those orgies of Israelophobia on our streets every weekend at which moneyed leftists and mad Islamists noisily clamour for the destruction of the Jewish State? The gross new trend for ‘pro-Palestine’ protests outside synagogues? The cruel banning of Israeli Jews from a football match in Birmingham that we now know was built on a litany of ‘false claims’? Nope – it’s focussing on what a 13-year-old boy might or might not have said in a school playground 50 years ago.

    In what moral universe does it make sense for the BBC to lecture anyone about anti-Semitism, far less a boy from the hazy, long-dead 1970s? This is the public broadcaster that spread so many Hamas lies about the Jewish State that it was forced to correct an average of two Gaza stories every week over the past two years. This is the corporation accused by 208 of its own staff and contractors of having ‘systemic problems of anti-Semitism and bias’. This is the media giant that broadcast Bob Vylan’s Glasto chant of ‘Death, death to the IDF’, which has since become the favoured chant of every plummy fascist in a keffyeh. This is the same BBC on which that Arab journalist who praised Hitler appeared 244 times, and on which another hack who called Jews ‘devils’ appeared 522 times. And the BBC now thinks it can get on its soapbox about alleged bikeshed racism from the last millennium? Motes and beams come to mind.

      Monday / Tuesday is looking pretty tricky for Rachel and TTK – there’ll be an urgent question about the ‘lies ‘ / OBR leak on Monday – followed by Rachel having to appear before the public accounts committee on Tuesday . TTK must be praying for a disaster or international issue to take attention away . …

      The ‘urgent question ‘ is likely it to be ‘dealt with ‘ by the queer number 2 Rachel has to lisp his way through the deceit … the Tuesday one will have Labour Party committee members forming a shield around Rachel

      From my sight of Rachel doing Sunday morning interviews she looks pretty wretched

    We’ve had Nick Robinson on the BBC’s flagship news programme that ‘sets the agenda’ babbling incoherently about Robbie Gibb mounting a coup inside the BBC and that there is no problem of bias inside that august institution…and definitely not ‘institutional bias’.

    The BBC as a whole just hasn’t accepted that there is a problem…even those taking the hit went out claiming there was nothing to see there really….and naturally no BBC programme or presenter is prepared to admit any guilt and would rather downplay and muddy the waters…..the ‘Naked Week’ [lol…more like naked bias] goes even further as it suggests that not only was this a coup but one orchestrated by the Russians in cahoots with the likes of Elon Musk…in all seriousness this is their take.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002mn0y

    Hmmm…why would the Russians do that given the BBC is in fact one of their most useful, idiot, assets? The BBC which works relentlessly to undermine the Western civilisation and culture…and which of course spent years feeding us what was Russian propaganda that came straight out of the Kremlin about Trump….the information coming from Christopher Steel who got it from……[reported by Paul Wood of the BBC lol…in the Spectator]

    ‘Claims about a Russian blackmail tape were made in one of a series of reports written by a former British intelligence agent. As a member of MI6, he had been posted to the UK’s embassy in Moscow and now runs a consultancy giving advice on doing business in Russia. He spoke to a number of his old contacts in the FSB, the successor to the KGB, paying some of them for information.

    So FSB/KGB officers fed us stories that Trump was compromised and being blackmailed by the Kremlin…thus he was their puppet….ermmmm…how is that the Russians helping Trump in any way? Surely a story designed not to get Trump elected…which means they preferred….Clinton…wonder why….maybe her very close business contacts with Russia that made millions.

    Rupert Lowe

    I tabled a motion in Parliament on banning foreigners from claiming benefits. This would have saved at least £10.1bn in 2024. I don’t believe that British taxpayers should be subsidising lazy Somalians to live in social housing, having their lifestyles funded by our tax – to be honest.

    Every MP was invited to sign. Just six have. Three Tories and three independents.

    Rupert Lowe MP

    James McMurdock MP

    Gavin Williamson MP

    Bob Blackman MP

    Alex Easton MP

    Peter Bedford MP

    Now. That’s 6/650. That is atrocious.

    Can the rest please explain why they haven’t signed up? Where is Reform? It’s pathetic.

    A disgrace.

    The British Parliament is there to represent the British people. To fight for British people. To fund British people. Not Somalians, or Albanians, or Pakistanis. Or any third world criminal who has broken into our country on a small boat.

    If a foreigner has entered our country illegally, or is unable to financially support themselves? They should be sent home. I’ll get called a racist and whatever else. SO WHAT. We’re all thinking it.

    It would save SO much money – more than any of us can begin to understand.

    I passionately believe that we should spend those many billions from British taxpayers in Britain, on British people.

    Are you with me?

    A number of celebrities have publicly backed UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour Party, particularly ahead of the July 2024 general election. This support often centered on Labour’s policies regarding the arts and creative industries.
    Notable celebrities who have endorsed Starmer and the Labour party include:
    Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish, who appeared in a video message urging support for Labour to champion the next generation of creative talent.

    Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Keeley Hawes, and Hugh Bonneville, who were among the signatories of a joint letter from the arts community calling for an end to “political chaos” and endorsing Labour’s creative education pledges.

    Beverley Knight, James Norton, and Jason Manford, who specifically backed the party’s plans for greater access to the arts for children.

    Kit Harington, the Game of Thrones actor.
    Businesswoman Deborah Meaden from Dragons’ Den.
    Comedian Bill Bailey.

    Actor Jason Isaacs, known for Harry Potter and other roles, who posted on social media that Starmer’s “integrity shines out”.

    Musician Ed Sheeran, whose “powerful” letter helped influence changes to the UK’s music curriculum under Labour’s plans.
    Other well-known figures who have shown support or signed letters related to Labour initiatives include the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai and actor Mark Ruffalo.

    The European Democracy Shield (Ministry of Truth) claims it will “counter information manipulation and disinformation, except for that produced by the EU and BBC editors” and strengthen democratic resilience through a “whole-of-society approach.” However, the whole of society excludes the BBC lead Trusted Newspeak International (TNI), and all other undemocratic institutions within the European Union.

    Orwell elaborates that the deeper reason for its existence, the “why”, is to maintain the illusion that the EU and the BBC lead Trusted Newspeak International (TNI) ‘NEVER LIE’ and are absolutely infallible, and should be trusted without question. To maintain power the trusted European Democracy Shield must seem eternally ‘right and strong’, or else ban you from the internet.

    The BBC lead ‘Trusted Newspeak International’ members work together to build ‘audience trust’ by using censorship, propaganda and psychological behaviour modification techniques, such as editing speeches to produce ‘fake news’ beneficial to the British Government. The BBC also perverts democracy by producing lies, misinformation, disinformation and malinformation. The BBC also supports algorithmic manipulation on Google, putting BBC propaganda at the very top of the list, so as to “threaten our democratic way of being,” says the undemocratically appointed EU Commissioner for Truth, Michael McGrath.
