    Starmer was speaking at the Guildhall last night.

    It was closer ties to Europe and slagging off Reform , because they want to withdraw from the ECHR which stops us deporting sexual deviant illegals from raping women and teenagers.

    I would say, let’s rejoin the EC and see how much they will PAY US for the privilege.

    No policies of their own, just blame others.

    FFS he has a teenage daughter of his own to protect.

      “Prof Jay said the first of these reports was “effectively suppressed” because senior officers did not believe the data. The other two were ignored, she said.

      The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”.”

      HOW CAN Lily Allen STILL BE REPRESENTED BY THE BBC WHEN SHE SAID …

      Lily Allen forced to apologise to Rochdale child sex abuse scandal victims over ‘rape tweet’
      The ‘sorry’ came after a Twitter user asked the star if the victims of grooming gangs would have been raped if migrants had not been allowed into the UK
      https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/lily-allen-forced-apologise-rochdale-11819942

      HOW COME SHE WAS NOT BANNED? CANCELLED? IGNORED? GOT 31 MONTHS IN JAIL?

      Allen tweeted: “Actually, there’s a strong possibility they would have been raped and abused by somebody else at some point.

      “That’s kind of the issue.”

      ^^ Is this worse than a Nigel Farage 13 year old comment ?

    Twelve further prisoners accidentally released, says Lammy
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8e9py8g2yyo

    Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Lammy said there would always be a “human error”

    The report is a bit brief as of reading at the moment.

    Again bbc does not hold Lammy to account!, its just human error

    Remember Partygate, well who can forget it

    Not BBC

    I m in 2 minds about the abolishing of jury trials for ordinary crimes ….i used to favour it because I believed juries were too prone to ‘external factors ‘ – subjective stuff like whether they prefer on barrister or another – attention span – google – pressures outside court – all that stuff .

    But I made assumptions back then that the State – plod – CPS- Judge – court staff – could be relied to be politically neutral .

    But that assumption is dead now – and victims of the state need any protection they can get .

    There are other ways to get rid of backlogs – longer court sittings – 7 day weeks – 12 hour courts – abolishing the 2 tier lawyer system – using funding to encourage less delays – those just seem common sense things from a layman like me …

    But let’s face it – all that effort to get criminals convicted – sentenced – and then released because the prisons are too full –
    It’s a game …

    Today Lammy will sound as bombastic as can be along with loads of MPs who make a living from the Lefty Law

    What about the most common surnames in clogged courts ?
    Sim Webb’s network have come up with an brilliant way of looking at clogged courts

    Pick the most clogged like London and Birmingham then count the most common surnames

    The Defendant Profile in the Bottleneck Courts
    Top 12 standardised surnames across the five most grid-locked venues (full-year data):
    Rank Surname Total hearings in these 5 courts
    1 Khan 692
    2 Hussain 568
    3 Ahmed 520
    4 Ali 452
    5 Mohammed 433
    6 Singh 392
    7 Smith “328 (down-ranked because spread nationally)

    8–12 Iqbal, Rahman, Uddin, Begum, Malik — All in top 20
    known demographic profile of:
    Class A drugs supply (heroin, cocaine) networks
    Certain types of organised robbery and firearms conspiracies
    Some terrorism and public-order cases

    OK but I would expect some African surnames and East European names to be common too

    The establishment ha recently become quite keen to prosecute SOME people for social meia posts
    I asked Grok to check the most common surnames in court cases of people charged for posting on Social media

    1 Smith ~5–7%
    Most common UK surname (285k bearers); frequent in public order/harassment cases (e.g., generic listings).

    2 Jones ~4–6% High in Wales/England border courts; seen in 2024 Twitter abuse prosecutions.
    3 Williams ~3–5% Common in VAWG-related online harassment (up in 2023–2024).
    4 Brown ~2–4% Appears in malicious comms (e.g., 2025 Ofcom-linked cases).
    5 Taylor ~2–3% Routine in magistrates’ courts for “offensive” posts.
    6 Wilson ~1–2% Linked to racial hate flags (84% White convictions).
    7 Khan~1% Asian over-representation in some hate strands; e.g., isolated 2024 grooming-related posts.
    8 Patel ~0.5–1% Similar to Khan in urban (London) cases.
    9 Mohammed ~0.5% Rare as surname but in compounds; e.g., 2020 CPS case.
    10 Hussain ~0.5%Occasional in religious hate (e.g., 2023 Leeds trials).

      The other assumption I made about the validity of juries was that their complexion would be ‘neutral ‘ i e British and mainly Anglo Saxon .
      But the demography now means in big cities and towns the juries are likely to be invader / Muslim dominant – and since these characters are tribal – the Muslim defendant is going to walk .
      Same with ethnic judges of course … the system is polluted ,,,

    Have you noticed how much David Lammy loves playing dressy-up? There’s a child-like quality about the man that’s almost endearing, but…The latest pictures are with him in full judge’s regalia, including the bloody wig. He looks absolutely ridiculous…

    However, with this authoritarian buffoon attempting to do away with trial by jury for anything other than the most heinous crimes, seeing him in his legal robes should warn all of us of the dire consequences of such a catastrophic decision.

    We have had the right to be tried by “twelve good men and true” for hundreds of years. It’s in our DNA.

    And we have already seen Tommy Robinson, Lucy Connolly, the tragic Peter Lynch and many others, facing extraordinary sentences at the whim of a judge. We just can’t risk it. The judiciary seem to be about as bent as the BBC.

    Meanwhile, David Lammy more and more resembles the 1970s African dictator, Idi Amin…our very own Idiot Amin…who had a similar penchant for military garb and medals he had no right to wear.

    Seeing Lammy in his latest costume made me think of a ribald remark my dear old dad used to make, whenever he saw someone pretending to be something they were not…

    “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig”.

    I saw advertised the Marvellous Miniature Workshop – I thought a nice little escapist half hour.

    Started off OK. Talented modellers replicating a room / building from a participants past which evokes memories.
    Today it was Karim from East London but originally from Bangladesh, wanting his old classroom in the mid 80s miniaturised.

    So far so good. Then the ambience changed. We were then regaled with film footage from the late 1970s showing the National Front in full throttle with old scenes of protesting migrants and a narrative of racism.
    This is an afternoon programme you want to watch with tea and biccy! But good old Beeb had to bleat an agenda.

    Tomorrow its Silverwood Colliery – both my grandads worked there in the first half of last century – so will be of interest, but if they start banging on about the miners strike I’ll need a new tele as my boot will have been lopped at it.

    Oh gosh…that heroic Republican movement that we so celebrated and adored when it murdered men, women and children not so long ago in order to drive out foreign invaders[lol…Brits] is now trying to drive out foreign invaders[actual]…and we hate it!

    ‘Footage of three masked, armed men threatening politicians in Northern Ireland has been condemned as “vile and reprehensible”, amid increasing unrest across the UK stoked by far-right and anti-immigration organisations.

    “To the people of Newry, Mourne and Down, we, the New Republican Movement, have watched their councillors, MLAs (Members of the Legislative Assembly), over the past 12 months,” one of the men, seated at a table in front of the Irish flag, read from a pre-prepared statement.

    “The level of disrespect shown to the people who put you into power. This cannot be ignored any longer. We are proud men of Ireland. We are patriots.

    “Your policies and decision-making regards to flooding our communities with undocumented, military-aged men is not acceptable.

    “We will not sit back any longer and watch our culture and religion (be) destroyed by the people we put in power.

    “Also, the sexual indoctrination of our children, schools, has not gone unnoticed either.

    “The New Republican Movement will take immediate action against anyone who threatens our ways of life and the safety of our women and children.

    “We have your addresses, know your movements. Every one of you are legitimate targets as of today.” ‘

    Thought it might be a major story on the BBC….oddly not a single mention as far as I can see….normally the BBC would rant about the far-right and thugs filled with hate….but…no. Bit of a dilemma how to shape this story…hard-left Republicans, BBC heroes, turn out to be as anti-migrant as any of the ‘far-Right’…..ignore it and hopefully no-one will notice and if they do we’ll blame Brexit.
