Goal hanging pays off again, Jimmy Greave’s stylee. The BBC are biased as are the MSM, against Conservatism, against Nigel Farage, see today’s Guardian for example. The BBC are biased against Israel along with the MSM. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. See today’s Metro for a Lineker:Robinson spat. The BBC are overmanned and overwimmined. We should just make the BBC over. Defund the BBC. Cancel your TellyTax!
The BBC are biased in favour of Socialism, as Fed says in his header.
Seventeen minutes. That’s how long it took a jury at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court to acquit Jamie Michael, a 46-year-old former Royal Marine, charged with stirring up racial hatred. Seventeen minutes. The piping hot coffees in the jury room hadn’t had time to cool down before 12 good men and women delivered that unanimous, you might say contemptuous, verdict on the inadequacy of the case against Jamie, who had been painfully aware of the various incentives in the system to plead guilty.
“Thank God for the jury,” Jamie tells me from his home in the Welsh valleys. Reflecting on his trial back in February, he says: “I honestly think if I hadn’t had those normal people to basically say, ‘You gotta be joking, no way did this guy do anything wrong’, I’d be finished.”
Under the so-called “reforms” announced today by Justice Secretary David Lammy, the fate of that brave Welsh Marine who served his country well could have been very different. Jury trials are going to be scrapped for thousands of cases including “violent disorder” which means defendants like Jamie Michael and Lucy Connolly, both arrested for social media posts after the Southport massacre of little girls, would not even be able to apply to be tried by their peers. If his case had been heard by a single judge, a member of the liberal elite that despises the views of ordinary people like him, Jamie reckons he would now be behind bars.
That great big lummox Lammy insists that limiting the use of juries for less serious cases is a “bold but necessary” measure to clear the 80,000 backlog in criminal trials waiting to go to court. It’s a bit like saying prison overcrowding can be sorted out by the sensible expedient of shooting inmates. After the Southport riots, Sir Keir Starmer managed to arrange weekend courts for largely fictitious “far-Right thugs” – why isn’t that same solution possible in this “emergency”?
With his patent brand of bumptious pomposity – seldom has a man been so pleased with himself with so little cause – David Lammy brushed aside concerns from know-nothings like the Law Society that he was trampling on the 1,000-year-old rights granted to the British people under Magna Carta. (Clause 39 of the original 1215 version of the Charter guaranteed all the king’s subjects protection from arbitrary arrest or restraint and a right to trial by a jury of his peers).
Writing for The Telegraph, he insisted that justice delayed was justice denied. Jury trials may be “the cornerstone of justice”, he conceded, but “a strong justice system is not one that clings to tradition for its own sake. Instead, it delivers for the people it serves. The public deserves a system that protects them.”
I couldn’t agree more. The public definitely deserves a justice system that protects them – protects them from an increasingly authoritarian government hellbent on imposing its Marxist student views on a small-c conservative country. Little by way of historical literacy is to be expected from a man who, when he was asked on Mastermind, “Who succeeded Henry VIII?”, confidently answered “Henry VII” (yes, he really did). Ignorance of why tradition matters – indeed, of how tradition acts as a bulwark against idiot novelty and tyranny – is a defining characteristic of this lowdown, lying Labour Government.
Observing the Justice Secretary’s weaselly sophistry as he tried to justify an attack on the foundations of democracy and fair trials had me thinking of other options. Surely it would be better to just scrap David Lammy?
By the way, this is the same Lammy who, in 2020, tweeted: “Jury trials are a fundamental part of our democratic settlement. Criminal trials without juries are a bad idea…” and, “You don’t fix the backlog with trials that are widely perceived as unfair.”
Like Groucho Marx, David Lammy has other principles if the first lot prove unpopular or inconvenient. Announcing he was scrapping jury trials for so-called “either way” cases, in which the defendant has the right to be tried in the magistrates’ or Crown Court, Mr Lammy said he was concerned that many people were “playing the system” by delaying guilty pleas until the last moment. He has a point; some cynical career criminals do just that. More worrying, I think, is how the system plays the system to coerce guilty pleas from scared people in a fashion familiar from North Korea and the Soviet Union.
If this were a normal government, the trials-without-juries proposal would be plain wrong. However, because this is a government with a track record of singling out for punishment anyone who threatens its preferred ideology, and calling their criticism “hate speech”, it is not just wrong, it’s sinister. No matter how flawed human beings are, nor how imperfect a jury, they have to be better than some smug Lefty judge who was a barrister in the same chambers as Keir Starmer when he was taking his hols behind the Iron Curtain.
Judges, like police officers, are now promoted for showing commitment to diversity and they are likely to bow to pressure from their sanctimonious fellows; two-tier justice will only get worse – and we all know who the convicted will be.
Jamie Michael’s story is a case in point. A father of a little girl, Jamie was deeply upset by the murderous rampage of Axel Rudakubana at a Taylor Swift holiday dance class. In the aftermath of last summer’s heinous attack, he posted a passionate 12-minute video on Facebook in which he lamented the “scumbags” coming ashore illegally in the UK and called for people to come together peacefully to protest the threat to children’s safety and to raise the issue politely with their councillors and MPs. (Jamie had served in Afghanistan and Iraq so he had knowledge of the kind of men who were breaking into our country – none of it good).
An unnamed member of staff working in the office of Buffy Williams, a Labour member of the Senedd, reported the video to police and Jamie was arrested at work by an officer who appeared to have very little clue what law the ex-Marine had broken.
At the police station, despite incentives such as a lighter sentence, Jamie refused to plead guilty. “I’d done nothing wrong. I’d put my life on the line for my country many times and I wasn’t going to let them do that to me.” Finally, the lawyer persuaded Jamie to go “no plea”, something he deeply regrets but he was made to feel there was no alternative.
Like Northampton childminder Lucy Connolly (who did plead guilty having been promised she’d be out of jail in time to spend Christmas with her daughter), Jamie was denied bail for no good reason. He was then remanded in a cell for an outrageous 17 days, during which time his resolve to plead “not guilty” hardened.
Friends advised Jamie to apply to the Free Speech Union (FSU) and, overnight, his fortunes changed. Luke Gittos, the FSU solicitor (also my marvellous lawyer in my encounter with Essex Police) got Jamie’s tag removed and his curfew lifted straight away.
His defence team believed his comments were protected under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the former Marine had every right to express his anger and distress, and his views on immigration. And he had certainly not incited hatred. The jury at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court agreed – within 17 minutes.
I can’t tell you how much I love that 17-minute verdict. What a slap across the chops for the pious Starmer cabal, the identity-politics zealots who hate the white, working class and their vulgar freedom of expression. Those Merthyr jurors were the common sense of the British people in excelsis. It’s a point made with fervour in a video released today by Lammy’s ministerial shadow, Robert Jenrick. Praising the ordinary men and women “pooling their combined wisdom and experiences”, Jenrick asks: “Would Lucy Connolly really have been given 31 months if she too had appeared before a jury?”
Almost certainly not. I think a jury would have acquitted Lucy because she is a good, caring person who posted one really nasty thing on a traumatic day, and ordinary mums and dads would have known how she felt – and forgiven her. And that is a problem for a Labour Government which wants juries to deliver the “correct” verdict, one that supports their multicultural ideology, and to jail the Jamies and the Lucys who dare to challenge it.
But normal people don’t agree with Labour’s warped progressive values so juries must be scrapped and replaced with judges who can be trusted to reach a guilty verdict. It’s political, and it stinks.
Jamie Michael’s barrister, Adam King, sums it up in his best KC manner: “Jamie’s case largely depended on whether his video was ‘likely to stir up racial hatred’. His political views – critical of illegal immigration and the Labour Government – are commonplace amongst ordinary citizens but objectionable to a large proportion of the educated classes.
“He would have been much more likely to have been (wrongly) convicted if tried by magistrates or a judge sitting alone. His trial is a prime example of why we need juries – and, perhaps, why this Government wants to remove them for cases like his.”
Precisely, m’Lud. Jamie told me had PTSD after Iraq, and it still gives him bother from time to time, but the strength of character it took to earn that green beret enabled him to fight the legal system’s attempt to put him away. Just for expressing views held by millions of us.
Allowing a single judge to take the place of a jury and decide guilt is a betrayal of our shared values – add that to the list of reasons this will be the last ever Labour government. Jamie “17 minutes” Michael, cariad, we salute you.
I have never known a time in my life where no one in authority can be trusted. All this is down to 2 people Blair and McPhearson. It is the latter who turned the police force into paramilitary social workers I really can’t see any way out of this short of a military coup
You could have the RNLI pick them up or force them back….odd how the RNLI can pick people up mid Channel but the French police say it is too dangerous for themselves to do so….and take them back to France…

BTW – join the Free Speech Union – before it’s made an arrestable – summary only – offence – I did and i am not a ‘joiner ‘… …
Let me take you back to the outraged furore stoked by our feminised lefty-leaning media over some latterly re-aired comments from Donald Trump’s vice-presidential candidate: JD Vance defends ‘childless cat ladies’ comment after backlash… questioned why some leading politicians did not have children in a 2021 interview… resurfaced comments in which he called Democratic politicians a “bunch of childless cat ladies with miserable lives”. (The extraordinarily named Rachel Looker, BBC News, Washington, July 2024)
Your Mr AsI prefers the less derogatory term ‘Wine Aunt’
But now to today’s junior poundshop (plus 10% inflation) cadet edition of the Guardian that is our BBC’s second ranked top pick for its online print press line-up this morning – the i paper
Science Of cats and men Pets miaow louder at male owners because it’s hard to make them listen (i paper) – men, eh? What cruel bastards they are! Turning a deaf ear to kitty.
If American left-leaning feminised media sneezes… our British left-leaning feminised media… miaows?
To Get a Man’s Attention, Meow Harder. In a small study, pet cats greeted male owners with more vocalizations than they did female caregivers. – the careful woke terminology (and US spelling of miaow) of the New York Times there, from last week, picking up on a ‘small study’ (someone presumably in a university kept an eye out for Tibbles’s behaviour for a fortnight or so?)
Of course the wannabe Graun that is the i paper enjoys top flight ranking in the BBC’s press review, ‘cos it’s banging on about Hillsborough: Still no justice
Our BBC slightly prefers the in-the-tank for Labour Mirror for accusation and concision: Hillsborough: Police shame… No Justice
The OG BBC paper of choice, the Guardian, comes in third place with their reflexive revision to process: ‘A bitter injustice’: no officers will face discipline over Hillsborough… Families’ anger as police watchdog ends 14-year inquiry into disaster
Inquiries, eh? What’s the point in them? These days they seem to go on Harder for Longer. But not Sooner – when we consider the Grooming Gangs issue.
Government racks up £100m bill responding to Covid inquiry… This is on top of the £192m spent by the inquiry itself – meaning the cost to the taxpayer is over 50% more than previously thought. (BBC)
Inquiries… they always seem to miss the point… whereas sometimes these segueways write themselves…
Quarter of forces lack basic policies on sexual offences, report says… four years after the rape and murder of Sarah Everard… was kidnapped and murdered by serving police officer Wayne Couzens in 2021 (BBC)
It is, of course, pretty obvious that sexual perverts, flashers, etc., didn’t ought to be sworn as police constables. It didn’t need a costly long-running inquiry to come to that conclusion. But that’s basically the conclusion of this report.
But I guess we couldn’t expect any mention of this extenuating circumstance: Former Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens kidnapped Sarah Everard in a hire car as she walked home alone from a friend’s house, and went on to rape and strangle the 33-year-old marketing executive… handcuffed and arrested… may have used COVID-19 lockdown rules as an excuse to stop her as she walked home, lock her in the back of his hire car, and then drive her 80 miles to her death in Kent. (Martin Brunt, Crime Correspondent for Sky News back in September 2021 with a bit of ‘may have’ speculation – at least he had the balls to go where the inquiry feared to explore.
Mind you, while: A spokesman for the Covid Inquiry said: “The inquiry is unlike any previous public inquiry. It was given a very broad scope because it is investigating multiple aspects of a pandemic that affected everyone in society.” (BBC) – I’ll betcha they don’t touch on the aforementioned false arrest and abduction under Lockdown rules.
Andrea Simon, director of campaign group End Violence Against Women, said it was “deeply concerning” policing had still not implemented basic reforms. “This inquiry confirms what women and girls have been telling us for years: that the threat and reality of men’s violence restricts our everyday lives, and efforts to prevent it remain piecemeal, short-term and chronically underfunded” (BBC) – I switched back to the Everard inquiry there.
Meanwhile back at the Covid inquiry: A spokesman for the Covid Inquiry… said the chair had made clear at the start that would take time and have significant cost, but it would result in recommendations that are intended to better protect the UK when the next pandemic strikes. (BBC)
And that’s gonna be the old Keir Starmer mantra – apparently with a slight twist “Sooner, Harder, so we won’t have to do it Longer”
The “Sooner Harder” bit presunambly awarding stricter enforcement powers to the cops – so better flush out all the perverts, rapists, flashers, peeping toms now before it happens… in fact, let’s just ban Men.
And another thing..
Kremlin signals no Ukraine breakthrough after Putin talks with US (BBC) – whatever the terms of the peace deal – our BBC ain’t gonna like it.
Asiseeit
Perhaps there should be a public inquiry into public inquiries ?
Maybe ‘public inquiries ‘ is the one thing britainistan is good at ?
Is there a survey of outcomes versus changes ? Changes which have had a real lasting benefit ? Of recommendations carried through for public benefit ? – genuine question .
Seems to me the biggest benefit for politicians is to placate the eternal campaigners and kick an issue into the long grass as well as kicking political opponents ….. but then – of course -m there is still the refusal to carry out a paki paedo racist rape gang inquiry because the Marxists know the outcome already ….
And if you look at the timescale – 2030 report ? 2031 2032 2033 ….?
We must view the attempt to replace trial by jury with trial by judges as yet another phase in the Blairite transfer of power from the people to the technocratic elite.
Since 1997 the ability of the ordinary people to control what happens in their country has been steadily reduced. In effect we have been disenfranchised by stealth.
Their elected representatives in the HoC are no longer the sole makers of laws , these can now be challenged and subject to review by unelected and unaccountable judges .
Many of the powers of ministers have been transferred to unelected and unaccountable Qangos . Other powers have been transferred to supranational bodies eg the WHO. We see that heads of councils cannot be disciplined by the political elected councils .Even the Brexit vote has been unable to wrest back control for the people.
Juries of ordinary people have the power to judge guilt or innocence of someone on trial and this is now going to be much diminished.
The next target of the technocrats must be democratic elections. Which makes me think that at the next , and possibly last , meaningful GE we either vote in a Reform government with a large majority or democracy in this country is finished. Even then a Reform government will face a struggle against the technocratic Blob which will make Brexit implementation seem like a vicarage tea party. They will need our full support for a minimum of three election cycles , 15 years, if we are going to beat the Blob and get our country back.
Double – even working on a dangerous assumption of a Reform Government – the expectation on them will be Huge with the whole blob actively trying to take them down …. The prospect of a Zac-TTK -Davey regime is frightening …
I am confronting the #NOTA #politicsoftheleastbad options already, but at the last GE they put up a clearly unsuitable candidate on any basis, local or national.
And every chancer with a history will see them as a ticket to HoC cushty.
So they need to firm up checks and vetting a hundredfold.
But so long as the msm is reducing itself still to getting in colleagues to ‘recall’ stuff from school days there is a chance its malign sway is now over.

“General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton, asked the Justice Minister in the House of Lords to guarantee that at least people accused of speech crimes have a right to a jury trial, which is such an important bulwark of free speech.
She declined.
Trial by jury is a cornerstone of English liberty — especially free speech.
David Lammy’s plans amount to the biggest assault on our liberty in 800 years.
If the Government were serious about reducing delays and the court backlog, they’d stop creating so many new criminal offences — 65 in the Crime and Courts Bill alone.
If Lammy gets his way and jury trials are scrapped, you’re far more likely to be banged up for hurty words. We cannot let this happen.“
Glad to be an FSU member.
Waited to the end to see what this minister was.
No surprise there.
Wonder if her history runs to the eventual fate of Robespierre?
“Robespierre was arrested and with around 90 others, he was executed without trial.”
But only after a cartoon pointed out that he had executed the executioner after he had all others first.

The current time indication for a Reform/True-Blue Conservative government to repair the damage that Starmer and his dreadful crowd are doing, have done and certainly will continue to do, is around seven years.
It’s a long time to wait, and the malevolent lying and cheating we’re experiencing now will get much worse for the time being, but rampant depraved socialism is now on its last gasp before it is completely obliterated at the next election, so there’s now some hope for future generations, but they’ll have to wait a few years…
Amazing that the government wants everything like cash and ID to be digital. But doesn't want agencies like HMRC to be contactable by email — phone/mail only.
9am local news “There a special exhibition of Islamic artefacts going on at the North Lincolnshire Museum in Scunthorpe” followed by audio of organiser talking about the holy Koran etc.
Good luck to them , it must take a lot of work
But why do they get this extra PR boost when most of the museum’s temporary exhibitions are never mentioned in the news ? https://kacg.org.uk/events/
Only 4 months ago the BBC web page had a lengthy article about another local Islamic exhibition in Scunthorope by the same org https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c79ljwqyg9ro
The byline is of a local Islamic lad who I met a few years back then the next moment he popped up as the new local BBC reporter
Museum blurb “The exhibition is being organised in partnership by North Lincolnshire Museum, Sheikh Ilyas of Kiswa Arts and Culture Gallery, and Abid Khan from the Multifaith Partnership North Lincolnshire. This project has been made possible with the support of North Lincolnshire Council and The National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of Cultural Futures, a multi-year project to increase arts, heritage and cultural opportunities for North Lincolnshire.
.
Artefacts on display are often only possible to be viewed by making the journey to Mecca and will have a profound effect on the viewer. The exhibition will be of interest to people of all faiths and none, including those who have an appreciation of textile and calligraphic arts.”
Xi Jingping – “There is no jury in China, instead, there are people’s assessors. In particular cases, people’s assessors and judges will form a collegial panel to hear cases together.”

“Muhammad Faizan Khan subjected JJ – who asked to remain anonymous – to a sickening sexual attack which left her bleeding, and which she believes was a factor in a pregnancy loss several days later. He was found guilty in December 2024 at Glasgow Sheriff Court, sentenced to 12 months in prison and placed on the sex offenders register in February this year.”

The Rochdale child sex abuse ring targeted underage teenage girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Nine men were convicted of sex trafficking and other offences including rape, trafficking girls for sex and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child in May 2012. This resulted in Greater Manchester Police launching Operation Doublet and other operations to investigate further claims of abuse. As of January 2024 a total of 42 men had been convicted resulting in jail sentences totalling 432 years.[1] Forty-seven girls were identified as victims of child sexual exploitation during the initial police investigation.[2][3][4] The men were British Pakistanis, which led to discussion on whether the failure to investigate them was linked to the authorities’ fear of being accused of racial prejudice.

Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-34136334
“… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
-Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015
Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.
Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”
“You have lost, You lost. The mistake you made was you let us in, in the first place. That’s the thing with brown people, there’s a lot of us. Like a lot. 1.2 billion in India. 200 million in Pakistan. There is a bunch of us, and we breed. We are a breeding people. ” – Wajahat Ali
“Once you let one of us in, you know what happens. Our grandmother comes, Our grandfather. Our uncle. Out aunt. Our cousin comes.. Our second cousin comes. Then we have kids, a bunch of kids.”
“You have lost. It’s a story of misery. It’s filled with bland chicken. Terrible dry ass meat. Your music sucks. All your culture sucks. That’s why the kids listen to black music.”
Who is this ‘you’ that he refers to? I don’t know of anyone who was asked if they wanted millions of people – whether brown, black, yellow, white, or blue with green stripes – allowed into their countries. In the absence of any form of democratic mandate, it can be argued that all of the mass migration which has been imposed on Britain since 1948 (British Nationality Act) and on the USA since 1965 (Immigration and Nationality Act – Hart-Cellar Act) lacks legitimacy.
Sounds like he is “deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction”
….
Genocide is an international crime involving acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. The specific acts that constitute genocide are: killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction, imposing measures to prevent births, and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Readers may remember the time Milo refused the assistance of the BBC hair and makeup team ahead of an interview, on the grounds that he didn’t trust the BBC as far as he could throw them – or words to that effect.
Given the vile allegations against the makeup team who prepared Farage, it seems he had a point!
The BBC’s useful idiot Steve Rosenberg proving once again his skill is to present the agenda line, not the truth.
He writes this as if it shows how crazy Putin is:
‘In various statements he has condemned the Ukrainian leadership as a “thieving junta”, accused European leaders of trying to sabotage peace efforts, and insisted that Russia holds the initiative on the battlefield.’
Like it or not, Putin is right on all counts.
It’s very clear to me that the EU do not want a peace deal. They want Ukraine for their own expansion and if Putin takes the East here, that dream is dead. And with it the eventual EU expansion into Russia itself.
It is also clear that the biggest threat to us all is the EU triggering a war with Russia. I have a feeling they are thinking they might just be able to win it after the losses in Ukraine. Putin may be they typical Russian leader who has no problem scarificing soldiers for victory – but he is most certainly no fool and most certainly not mad.
It’s NATO and the EU which is full of idiots who have no experience or idea of what their politicial decisions will lead to. Why is NATO rushing to the aid of a non-NATO country ?. That’s an offensive role, not defensive like we are told is why we fund them.
Our government drags us into this without my support. If they manage to push Russia so hard that Russia fear their own country is threatened, they will use nukes. But not before.

“”Drivers, artillerymen, and cooks” are holding the line, says Bohdan Krotevich, an officer formerly with the Azov Brigade’s headquarters. “A maximum of 12 fighters hold sections 5-10 kilometers wide.”
The lack of manpower is allowing Russia to employ what Ukraine’s commander in chief, Oleksandr Syrskiy, recently called “total infiltration” tactics. Small infantry groups make it through Ukrainian lines — including into Pokrovsk, the key city in the Donetsk region that is likely the main target of Russia’s current offensive.”
The most common reason people gave was that they are unwilling to fight for the rich and powerful – who they see as profiteers or otherwise unfairly able to avoid the consequences of conflict themselves – at 21%.
“Because our borders are already allowing in thousands of men from countries who hate is anyway, so we’ve already lost before we begin.”

“The immigrants make their way north, having no desire to assimilate to French culture, but continuing to demand a First World standard of living, even as they flout laws, do not produce, and murder French citizens, such as factory bosses and shopkeepers, as well as the ordinary people who do not welcome them. They are also joined by the immigrants who already reside in Europe, as well as various left-wing and anarchist groups. Across the West, more and more migrants arrive and have children, rapidly growing to outnumber whites. In a matter of months, the white West has been overrun and pro-immigrant governments have been established, while the white people are ordered to share their houses and flats with the immigrants. ” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Camp_of_the_Saints

“Europe is currently unable to launch even its own weather satellites, and India, which managed a soft landing on the Moon last year, now has a more credible space program. Twenty years ago, before SpaceX had launched a single rocket, Richard Bowles, a sales director of the European Arianespace launch consortium, said SpaceX’s ambition to launch, recover and reuse rockets, cutting the price of launches in half, was a dream.
‘SpaceX primarily sems to be selling a dream. Which is good, we should all dream,’ he said. ‘I think reusability is a dream… How am I going to respond to a dream?… First of all you don’t wake people up. They have to wake up on their own… They’re not supermen. Whatever they can do, we can do.’
Elon’s Musk’s dream has become Europe’s nightmare. France’s Arianespace has this year managed to launch just one of the new Ariane 6 rockets made by its ArianeGroup umbrella company. It came four years late and hundreds of millions of euros over budget. SpaceX has already completed 96 launches this year, recovered and reused almost all of them, and expects to reach 148 launches by the end of December. ”
Elizabeth Kinney was angry about being physically assaulted by a man. So she called the man a ‘f*ggot’ in a private text message. The use of the word ‘f*ggot’ by a woman, is a far more serious crime than being physically assaulted by a man. So Merseyside Police sent 11 police officers to her home as she took a bath. Ten male police officers and one female officer entered her home and intruded on her privacy as she sat in her tub completely naked. The police informed her that she was being apprehended for the serious crime of violating the “Malicious Communications Act (1988)”, for using the word f*ggot in an unauthorised text message, when she also sent photographs of her injuries, which included a fractured skull, to a woman who allegedly caused the confrontation in the first place.
Elizabeth Kinney, a care assistant from the UK, claims she was naked and crying when eleven officers entered her crowded bathroom without warning. The 34-year-old was detained under the “Malicious Communications Act (1988)” after sending messages to a female acquaintance following an assault. Officers later informed her she faced a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison if found guilty, of the ‘very serious crime’ of calling her attacker a f*ggot. The average sentence for the lesser crime of assault by a f*ggot, occasioning actual bodily harm, is only 14 months in prison, almost 9 years less than calling a f*ggot who assaults girls, a f*ggot: https://x.com/TRobinsonNewEra/status/1994795918806089910
So many lefties coming on tv saying how their budget is lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty.
One just now said ‘absolute poverty’
How do they define this ‘poverty’ they keep bringing up.
Is a child in absolute poverty when they have the iPhone 15 and not the iPhone 16.
Maybe when they only have one foreign holiday a year.
I would bet there’s loads of money in these poverty stricken households.
A hundred years ago there was poverty in the UK but I’m quite sure children were not dying of starvation. They didn’t get burgers or pizzas but they were fed.
I think this ‘poverty’ term is being well over used.
Apparently, working households are also in poverty, more than those living on benefits according to a(nother) Labour guest on GBN (so many lefties on GBN now)
And we are something like the sixth richest Nation on Earth (or whatever we are now)
If there really are so many children in (absolute) poverty it’s all down to our politicians, are they proud of how they are running the Country.
Of course, our children are not in poverty. It’s just another over used word which is becoming meaningless (just like racist)
Or am I wrong?
All Children who survive abortion without pocket money, live in poverty, and 321,500 children are killed by abortion in Britain every year. The Labour government uses behavioural scientists to encourage suicide and generate fear of Climate Change and Covid, using psychological warfare techniques on children ‘not’ aborted after birth. The ‘Fear-washing’ has been most effective on causing small children to commit suicide after abortion fails. Many children are amongst the 15,416,140 estimated deaths and injuries in the UK from mRNA vaccines up to the 28th February 2024. This estimate is based on the MHRA report of 489,004 spontaneous suspected adverse drug reaction reports relating to the covid-19 vaccine, up to and including 28 February 2024, sent in a written answer to Dr Neale Hanvey MP, and including the MHRA estimate that only 10% of serious adverse events and 3% of non-serious events are formally reported: https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/covid_19/millions_experienced_covid_19_vaccine_side_effects
No you are not wrong I have lived in poverty when I was a child My parents did not go on holidays or have expensive clothes. My father was lucky to go to the pub for a few pints once a week and he worked. We had no fridge, no dishwasher, no 50 inch TV or a car (my father would go to work on his bike) But we did not go hungry as being fed was at the top of the list when the wages came in then the electric and rates. I went on a weekend holiday once to Whitby the next time I had a holiday was when I was married with three children.
Poverty these days seem to be measured by the lack of luxuries not necessities
I revisited some compact notes by my Uncle Jack who was born in 1907.
In his ‘old age’ he decided to write everything he could remember, so that we could all understand a bit more about the family back then!
Here’s a eye-opener, copied just as he wrote it, and referring to my Great Grandparents’ life in Stevenage, and my family’s visits whenever possible…
“Possessed of a fund of stories, she would lie back in an arm chair with one of us children on each side, and tell tales for hours at a time. Some true, some fictional, some told so often that we knew them. One I particularly recall, concerned welfare work by the church.
Real poverty and want was common before 1910, when parliamentary acts brought some relief, and their church raised money to aid distressed families at Christmas. Grandma and Grandpa were delivering hampers of food, and where needed, a few toys.
At one house, they passed the living room window going to the door and saw the father and mother and children, all on their knees in prayer to the Lord. They had no food in the house whatsoever.”
Rupert Lowe MP has found out that the Government communication service ( or similar lying name ) has 6000 staff ‘monitoring the internet ‘,- presumably they all work from home in the dressing gown …..is that right 77 Brigade ?
But – 24/7 – 6000 =-@ 1500 per shift – that’s never enough to check on all the known dissenters yet alone little sites like this one where we don’t even conspired to overthrow the Marxist regime ….. bit of a tease there …
Online hate crime is completely unacceptable. What is illegal offline is illegal online, and those who commit these cowardly crimes should be met with the full force of the law.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd has announced a new national hub to tackle the emerging threat of online hate crime. It will ensure better support for victims and help drive up the number of prosecutions.

Police treat home secretary speech as ‘hate incident’ Published 12 January 2017
West Midlands Police has said the home secretary’s speech to last year’s Conservative Party conference is being treated as a “hate incident”.
There was an item on TWaTO about Israel. The ultra-Orthodox Jews in Yeshivas for study of Torah have for years resisted being called up into the IDF, the Israel Defence Force. Bibi’s government depends on the ultra-Orthodox for support. Negative about the Netanyahu Government, I sensed the BBC wanted to get Bibi’s government out of the way so they could have a rather more liberal or Socialist government in Israel. 🙁
Glasgow is being taken over and swamped by migrants who don’t integrate and have no intention of integrating…and, contrary to BBC lies, it is the generous benefits and guarantees of housing that attracts them…the BBC completely ignored the latest revelations but did give us this…undoubtedly timed as a counter-narrative to a story it doesn’t like as it downplays issues and portrays anyone protesting about immigration as deluded and racist…..there is no real problem…just your bigoted perceptions…
Funny how supportive of the police this BBC report is…the headline is dramatic but at odds with the body of the text which presents the police version of events as the true version…whilst missing out inconvenient points.
The BBC quotes the British police but fails to mention that the Dutch police deny they said what is claimed and that their actual report is completely different to what the British police claim…but the BBC forgets to remind us of that as they give us this…
‘Mr Guildford said: “The information provided from the Dutch was very, very clear in terms of they reflected on the days before, during and after the match as a result of clashes between the Maccabi ultras and the local Muslim community.
“In terms of what we were told, the ultras were very well organised, militaristic in the way that they operated.
“They attacked members of the local community, including taxi drivers. Tore down flags. People were thrown into the river.”
He added that the Dutch commanders were “unequivocal” that they “would never want to have Maccabi Tel Aviv playing in Amsterdam again in the future”.’
They also fail to mention that the only person thrown in the river was an Israeli who was told to shout ‘Free Palestine’ before they would let him out.
The BBC also fails to mention a major factor in the ban…local Muslim politicians demanding a ban and local Muslim thugs threatening mass violence if there wasn’t….so far from the Israelis being the threat it was…Muslims…as in Holland.
The police bent the knee and did what they were told to by the Muslim community to keep the peace [much as they did in Rotherham and Rochdale] and the BBC provides the media cover story…as they did in Rotherham and Rochdale.
What can go wrong when the Establishment imports and embeds a dangerous foreign ideology that is completely at odds with our own culture, values and beliefs?
The satanic keystone finest in action in Cranebridge:
Paul Gardner was arrested in Cambridge for showing the reality of what happens to a baby in a late-term abortion – something MPs in the UK voted to legalise for women, back in June 2025.
JonathanR
Thank you for putting that up – however revolting it was – senator Kennedy truly is a power for good . Those ‘women’ reminded me of the concentration camp guards explaining how they’d put kids in the gas chambers .
I also admire the distortion of the language to sanitise baby killing ….. dehumanising a ‘baby ‘ into a foetus – which means that at 9 months it’s a foetus and at 9 months 1 minute it’s a baby …..
Although I think they want to kill babies after birth as well now ….
Irony someone can kill a baby but if you protest about it the police will arrest…you.
The same MPs who no doubt contrarily will not vote for assisted dying where a fully grown adult chooses to die…rather than a baby which is given no choice. Those same MPs who look away now when people are put on the laughably named ‘care pathway’ where the patient is denied food and water and dies a lingering death…basically assisted dying but not quick or painless.
Finally it’s been admitted. The Covid shot may have killed more children than it saved. So far, with just a minimalist examination, the FDA has found 10 died but cautions there may be many more. Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute said this week: ‘This is one of the greatest scandals of our time’.
Tuesday was the abolition of jury trial – Thursday is the installation of total facial identification – all to reduce crime of course . ….
There’s a ‘consultation ‘ of course . I thought I’d make a contribution – but then I recalled what consultations are – white washes ….
Imagine what facial recognition is really going to be used for – going after dissenters – people like me .
And think of what is going to be done to avoid the technology – see Muslim gangs wearing balaclavas …

Seventeen minutes. That’s how long it took a jury at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court to acquit Jamie Michael, a 46-year-old former Royal Marine, charged with stirring up racial hatred. Seventeen minutes. The piping hot coffees in the jury room hadn’t had time to cool down before 12 good men and women delivered that unanimous, you might say contemptuous, verdict on the inadequacy of the case against Jamie, who had been painfully aware of the various incentives in the system to plead guilty.
“Thank God for the jury,” Jamie tells me from his home in the Welsh valleys. Reflecting on his trial back in February, he says: “I honestly think if I hadn’t had those normal people to basically say, ‘You gotta be joking, no way did this guy do anything wrong’, I’d be finished.”
Under the so-called “reforms” announced today by Justice Secretary David Lammy, the fate of that brave Welsh Marine who served his country well could have been very different. Jury trials are going to be scrapped for thousands of cases including “violent disorder” which means defendants like Jamie Michael and Lucy Connolly, both arrested for social media posts after the Southport massacre of little girls, would not even be able to apply to be tried by their peers. If his case had been heard by a single judge, a member of the liberal elite that despises the views of ordinary people like him, Jamie reckons he would now be behind bars.
That great big lummox Lammy insists that limiting the use of juries for less serious cases is a “bold but necessary” measure to clear the 80,000 backlog in criminal trials waiting to go to court. It’s a bit like saying prison overcrowding can be sorted out by the sensible expedient of shooting inmates. After the Southport riots, Sir Keir Starmer managed to arrange weekend courts for largely fictitious “far-Right thugs” – why isn’t that same solution possible in this “emergency”?
With his patent brand of bumptious pomposity – seldom has a man been so pleased with himself with so little cause – David Lammy brushed aside concerns from know-nothings like the Law Society that he was trampling on the 1,000-year-old rights granted to the British people under Magna Carta. (Clause 39 of the original 1215 version of the Charter guaranteed all the king’s subjects protection from arbitrary arrest or restraint and a right to trial by a jury of his peers).
Writing for The Telegraph, he insisted that justice delayed was justice denied. Jury trials may be “the cornerstone of justice”, he conceded, but “a strong justice system is not one that clings to tradition for its own sake. Instead, it delivers for the people it serves. The public deserves a system that protects them.”
I couldn’t agree more. The public definitely deserves a justice system that protects them – protects them from an increasingly authoritarian government hellbent on imposing its Marxist student views on a small-c conservative country. Little by way of historical literacy is to be expected from a man who, when he was asked on Mastermind, “Who succeeded Henry VIII?”, confidently answered “Henry VII” (yes, he really did). Ignorance of why tradition matters – indeed, of how tradition acts as a bulwark against idiot novelty and tyranny – is a defining characteristic of this lowdown, lying Labour Government.
Observing the Justice Secretary’s weaselly sophistry as he tried to justify an attack on the foundations of democracy and fair trials had me thinking of other options. Surely it would be better to just scrap David Lammy?
By the way, this is the same Lammy who, in 2020, tweeted: “Jury trials are a fundamental part of our democratic settlement. Criminal trials without juries are a bad idea…” and, “You don’t fix the backlog with trials that are widely perceived as unfair.”
Like Groucho Marx, David Lammy has other principles if the first lot prove unpopular or inconvenient. Announcing he was scrapping jury trials for so-called “either way” cases, in which the defendant has the right to be tried in the magistrates’ or Crown Court, Mr Lammy said he was concerned that many people were “playing the system” by delaying guilty pleas until the last moment. He has a point; some cynical career criminals do just that. More worrying, I think, is how the system plays the system to coerce guilty pleas from scared people in a fashion familiar from North Korea and the Soviet Union.
If this were a normal government, the trials-without-juries proposal would be plain wrong. However, because this is a government with a track record of singling out for punishment anyone who threatens its preferred ideology, and calling their criticism “hate speech”, it is not just wrong, it’s sinister. No matter how flawed human beings are, nor how imperfect a jury, they have to be better than some smug Lefty judge who was a barrister in the same chambers as Keir Starmer when he was taking his hols behind the Iron Curtain.
Judges, like police officers, are now promoted for showing commitment to diversity and they are likely to bow to pressure from their sanctimonious fellows; two-tier justice will only get worse – and we all know who the convicted will be.
Jamie Michael’s story is a case in point. A father of a little girl, Jamie was deeply upset by the murderous rampage of Axel Rudakubana at a Taylor Swift holiday dance class. In the aftermath of last summer’s heinous attack, he posted a passionate 12-minute video on Facebook in which he lamented the “scumbags” coming ashore illegally in the UK and called for people to come together peacefully to protest the threat to children’s safety and to raise the issue politely with their councillors and MPs. (Jamie had served in Afghanistan and Iraq so he had knowledge of the kind of men who were breaking into our country – none of it good).
An unnamed member of staff working in the office of Buffy Williams, a Labour member of the Senedd, reported the video to police and Jamie was arrested at work by an officer who appeared to have very little clue what law the ex-Marine had broken.
At the police station, despite incentives such as a lighter sentence, Jamie refused to plead guilty. “I’d done nothing wrong. I’d put my life on the line for my country many times and I wasn’t going to let them do that to me.” Finally, the lawyer persuaded Jamie to go “no plea”, something he deeply regrets but he was made to feel there was no alternative.
Like Northampton childminder Lucy Connolly (who did plead guilty having been promised she’d be out of jail in time to spend Christmas with her daughter), Jamie was denied bail for no good reason. He was then remanded in a cell for an outrageous 17 days, during which time his resolve to plead “not guilty” hardened.
Friends advised Jamie to apply to the Free Speech Union (FSU) and, overnight, his fortunes changed. Luke Gittos, the FSU solicitor (also my marvellous lawyer in my encounter with Essex Police) got Jamie’s tag removed and his curfew lifted straight away.
His defence team believed his comments were protected under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the former Marine had every right to express his anger and distress, and his views on immigration. And he had certainly not incited hatred. The jury at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court agreed – within 17 minutes.
I can’t tell you how much I love that 17-minute verdict. What a slap across the chops for the pious Starmer cabal, the identity-politics zealots who hate the white, working class and their vulgar freedom of expression. Those Merthyr jurors were the common sense of the British people in excelsis. It’s a point made with fervour in a video released today by Lammy’s ministerial shadow, Robert Jenrick. Praising the ordinary men and women “pooling their combined wisdom and experiences”, Jenrick asks: “Would Lucy Connolly really have been given 31 months if she too had appeared before a jury?”
Almost certainly not. I think a jury would have acquitted Lucy because she is a good, caring person who posted one really nasty thing on a traumatic day, and ordinary mums and dads would have known how she felt – and forgiven her. And that is a problem for a Labour Government which wants juries to deliver the “correct” verdict, one that supports their multicultural ideology, and to jail the Jamies and the Lucys who dare to challenge it.
But normal people don’t agree with Labour’s warped progressive values so juries must be scrapped and replaced with judges who can be trusted to reach a guilty verdict. It’s political, and it stinks.
Jamie Michael’s barrister, Adam King, sums it up in his best KC manner: “Jamie’s case largely depended on whether his video was ‘likely to stir up racial hatred’. His political views – critical of illegal immigration and the Labour Government – are commonplace amongst ordinary citizens but objectionable to a large proportion of the educated classes.
“He would have been much more likely to have been (wrongly) convicted if tried by magistrates or a judge sitting alone. His trial is a prime example of why we need juries – and, perhaps, why this Government wants to remove them for cases like his.”
Precisely, m’Lud. Jamie told me had PTSD after Iraq, and it still gives him bother from time to time, but the strength of character it took to earn that green beret enabled him to fight the legal system’s attempt to put him away. Just for expressing views held by millions of us.
Allowing a single judge to take the place of a jury and decide guilt is a betrayal of our shared values – add that to the list of reasons this will be the last ever Labour government. Jamie “17 minutes” Michael, cariad, we salute you.
CPS and plod scum who brought the case should be personally sued for 10 times the total court costs. Plus they should all be given criminal records.
They won’t like it up ’em.

Not BBC – Alison Pearson in the telegraph on jury trials –
Tomo – I saw you put this up already …
STARTS Seventeen minutes. That’s how long it took a jury at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court to acquit Jamie Michael, a 46-year-old former Royal Marine, charged with stirring up racial hatred. Seventeen minutes. The piping hot coffees in the jury room hadn’t had time to cool down before 12 good men and women delivered that unanimous, you might say contemptuous, verdict on the inadequacy of the case against Jamie, who had been painfully aware of the various incentives in the system to plead guilty.
“Thank God for the jury,” Jamie tells me from his home in the Welsh valleys. Reflecting on his trial back in February, he says: “I honestly think if I hadn’t had those normal people to basically say, ‘You gotta be joking, no way did this guy do anything wrong’, I’d be finished.”
Under the so-called “reforms” announced today by Justice Secretary David Lammy, the fate of that brave Welsh Marine who served his country well could have been very different. Jury trials are going to be scrapped for thousands of cases including “violent disorder” which means defendants like Jamie Michael and Lucy Connolly, both arrested for social media posts after the Southport massacre of little girls, would not even be able to apply to be tried by their peers. If his case had been heard by a single judge, a member of the liberal elite that despises the views of ordinary people like him, Jamie reckons he would now be behind bars.
That great big lummox Lammy insists that limiting the use of juries for less serious cases is a “bold but necessary” measure to clear the 80,000 backlog in criminal trials waiting to go to court. It’s a bit like saying prison overcrowding can be sorted out by the sensible expedient of shooting inmates. After the Southport riots, Sir Keir Starmer managed to arrange weekend courts for largely fictitious “far-Right thugs” – why isn’t that same solution possible in this “emergency”?
With his patent brand of bumptious pomposity – seldom has a man been so pleased with himself with so little cause – David Lammy brushed aside concerns from know-nothings like the Law Society that he was trampling on the 1,000-year-old rights granted to the British people under Magna Carta. (Clause 39 of the original 1215 version of the Charter guaranteed all the king’s subjects protection from arbitrary arrest or restraint and a right to trial by a jury of his peers).
Writing for The Telegraph, he insisted that justice delayed was justice denied. Jury trials may be “the cornerstone of justice”, he conceded, but “a strong justice system is not one that clings to tradition for its own sake. Instead, it delivers for the people it serves. The public deserves a system that protects them.”
I couldn’t agree more. The public definitely deserves a justice system that protects them – protects them from an increasingly authoritarian government hellbent on imposing its Marxist student views on a small-c conservative country. Little by way of historical literacy is to be expected from a man who, when he was asked on Mastermind, “Who succeeded Henry VIII?”, confidently answered “Henry VII” (yes, he really did). Ignorance of why tradition matters – indeed, of how tradition acts as a bulwark against idiot novelty and tyranny – is a defining characteristic of this lowdown, lying Labour Government.
Observing the Justice Secretary’s weaselly sophistry as he tried to justify an attack on the foundations of democracy and fair trials had me thinking of other options. Surely it would be better to just scrap David Lammy?
By the way, this is the same Lammy who, in 2020, tweeted: “Jury trials are a fundamental part of our democratic settlement. Criminal trials without juries are a bad idea…” and, “You don’t fix the backlog with trials that are widely perceived as unfair.”
Like Groucho Marx, David Lammy has other principles if the first lot prove unpopular or inconvenient. Announcing he was scrapping jury trials for so-called “either way” cases, in which the defendant has the right to be tried in the magistrates’ or Crown Court, Mr Lammy said he was concerned that many people were “playing the system” by delaying guilty pleas until the last moment. He has a point; some cynical career criminals do just that. More worrying, I think, is how the system plays the system to coerce guilty pleas from scared people in a fashion familiar from North Korea and the Soviet Union.
If this were a normal government, the trials-without-juries proposal would be plain wrong. However, because this is a government with a track record of singling out for punishment anyone who threatens its preferred ideology, and calling their criticism “hate speech”, it is not just wrong, it’s sinister. No matter how flawed human beings are, nor how imperfect a jury, they have to be better than some smug Lefty judge who was a barrister in the same chambers as Keir Starmer when he was taking his hols behind the Iron Curtain.
Judges, like police officers, are now promoted for showing commitment to diversity and they are likely to bow to pressure from their sanctimonious fellows; two-tier justice will only get worse – and we all know who the convicted will be.
Jamie Michael’s story is a case in point. A father of a little girl, Jamie was deeply upset by the murderous rampage of Axel Rudakubana at a Taylor Swift holiday dance class. In the aftermath of last summer’s heinous attack, he posted a passionate 12-minute video on Facebook in which he lamented the “scumbags” coming ashore illegally in the UK and called for people to come together peacefully to protest the threat to children’s safety and to raise the issue politely with their councillors and MPs. (Jamie had served in Afghanistan and Iraq so he had knowledge of the kind of men who were breaking into our country – none of it good).
An unnamed member of staff working in the office of Buffy Williams, a Labour member of the Senedd, reported the video to police and Jamie was arrested at work by an officer who appeared to have very little clue what law the ex-Marine had broken.
At the police station, despite incentives such as a lighter sentence, Jamie refused to plead guilty. “I’d done nothing wrong. I’d put my life on the line for my country many times and I wasn’t going to let them do that to me.” Finally, the lawyer persuaded Jamie to go “no plea”, something he deeply regrets but he was made to feel there was no alternative.
Like Northampton childminder Lucy Connolly (who did plead guilty having been promised she’d be out of jail in time to spend Christmas with her daughter), Jamie was denied bail for no good reason. He was then remanded in a cell for an outrageous 17 days, during which time his resolve to plead “not guilty” hardened.
Friends advised Jamie to apply to the Free Speech Union (FSU) and, overnight, his fortunes changed. Luke Gittos, the FSU solicitor (also my marvellous lawyer in my encounter with Essex Police) got Jamie’s tag removed and his curfew lifted straight away.
His defence team believed his comments were protected under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the former Marine had every right to express his anger and distress, and his views on immigration. And he had certainly not incited hatred. The jury at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court agreed – within 17 minutes.
I can’t tell you how much I love that 17-minute verdict. What a slap across the chops for the pious Starmer cabal, the identity-politics zealots who hate the white, working class and their vulgar freedom of expression. Those Merthyr jurors were the common sense of the British people in excelsis. It’s a point made with fervour in a video released today by Lammy’s ministerial shadow, Robert Jenrick. Praising the ordinary men and women “pooling their combined wisdom and experiences”, Jenrick asks: “Would Lucy Connolly really have been given 31 months if she too had appeared before a jury?”
Almost certainly not. I think a jury would have acquitted Lucy because she is a good, caring person who posted one really nasty thing on a traumatic day, and ordinary mums and dads would have known how she felt – and forgiven her. And that is a problem for a Labour Government which wants juries to deliver the “correct” verdict, one that supports their multicultural ideology, and to jail the Jamies and the Lucys who dare to challenge it.
But normal people don’t agree with Labour’s warped progressive values so juries must be scrapped and replaced with judges who can be trusted to reach a guilty verdict. It’s political, and it stinks.
Jamie Michael’s barrister, Adam King, sums it up in his best KC manner: “Jamie’s case largely depended on whether his video was ‘likely to stir up racial hatred’. His political views – critical of illegal immigration and the Labour Government – are commonplace amongst ordinary citizens but objectionable to a large proportion of the educated classes.
“He would have been much more likely to have been (wrongly) convicted if tried by magistrates or a judge sitting alone. His trial is a prime example of why we need juries – and, perhaps, why this Government wants to remove them for cases like his.”
Precisely, m’Lud. Jamie told me had PTSD after Iraq, and it still gives him bother from time to time, but the strength of character it took to earn that green beret enabled him to fight the legal system’s attempt to put him away. Just for expressing views held by millions of us.
Allowing a single judge to take the place of a jury and decide guilt is a betrayal of our shared values – add that to the list of reasons this will be the last ever Labour government. Jamie “17 minutes” Michael, cariad, we salute you.ENDS

Let me take you back to the outraged furore stoked by our feminised lefty-leaning media over some latterly re-aired comments from Donald Trump’s vice-presidential candidate: JD Vance defends ‘childless cat ladies’ comment after backlash… questioned why some leading politicians did not have children in a 2021 interview… resurfaced comments in which he called Democratic politicians a “bunch of childless cat ladies with miserable lives”. (The extraordinarily named Rachel Looker, BBC News, Washington, July 2024)
Your Mr AsI prefers the less derogatory term ‘Wine Aunt’
But now to today’s junior poundshop (plus 10% inflation) cadet edition of the Guardian that is our BBC’s second ranked top pick for its online print press line-up this morning – the i paper
Science Of cats and men Pets miaow louder at male owners because it’s hard to make them listen (i paper) – men, eh? What cruel bastards they are! Turning a deaf ear to kitty.
If American left-leaning feminised media sneezes… our British left-leaning feminised media… miaows?
To Get a Man’s Attention, Meow Harder. In a small study, pet cats greeted male owners with more vocalizations than they did female caregivers. – the careful woke terminology (and US spelling of miaow) of the New York Times there, from last week, picking up on a ‘small study’ (someone presumably in a university kept an eye out for Tibbles’s behaviour for a fortnight or so?)
Of course the wannabe Graun that is the i paper enjoys top flight ranking in the BBC’s press review, ‘cos it’s banging on about Hillsborough: Still no justice
Our BBC slightly prefers the in-the-tank for Labour Mirror for accusation and concision: Hillsborough: Police shame… No Justice
The OG BBC paper of choice, the Guardian, comes in third place with their reflexive revision to process: ‘A bitter injustice’: no officers will face discipline over Hillsborough… Families’ anger as police watchdog ends 14-year inquiry into disaster
Inquiries, eh? What’s the point in them? These days they seem to go on Harder for Longer. But not Sooner – when we consider the Grooming Gangs issue.
Government racks up £100m bill responding to Covid inquiry… This is on top of the £192m spent by the inquiry itself – meaning the cost to the taxpayer is over 50% more than previously thought. (BBC)
Inquiries… they always seem to miss the point… whereas sometimes these segueways write themselves…
Quarter of forces lack basic policies on sexual offences, report says… four years after the rape and murder of Sarah Everard… was kidnapped and murdered by serving police officer Wayne Couzens in 2021 (BBC)
It is, of course, pretty obvious that sexual perverts, flashers, etc., didn’t ought to be sworn as police constables. It didn’t need a costly long-running inquiry to come to that conclusion. But that’s basically the conclusion of this report.
But I guess we couldn’t expect any mention of this extenuating circumstance: Former Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens kidnapped Sarah Everard in a hire car as she walked home alone from a friend’s house, and went on to rape and strangle the 33-year-old marketing executive… handcuffed and arrested… may have used COVID-19 lockdown rules as an excuse to stop her as she walked home, lock her in the back of his hire car, and then drive her 80 miles to her death in Kent. (Martin Brunt, Crime Correspondent for Sky News back in September 2021 with a bit of ‘may have’ speculation – at least he had the balls to go where the inquiry feared to explore.
Mind you, while: A spokesman for the Covid Inquiry said: “The inquiry is unlike any previous public inquiry. It was given a very broad scope because it is investigating multiple aspects of a pandemic that affected everyone in society.” (BBC) – I’ll betcha they don’t touch on the aforementioned false arrest and abduction under Lockdown rules.
Andrea Simon, director of campaign group End Violence Against Women, said it was “deeply concerning” policing had still not implemented basic reforms. “This inquiry confirms what women and girls have been telling us for years: that the threat and reality of men’s violence restricts our everyday lives, and efforts to prevent it remain piecemeal, short-term and chronically underfunded” (BBC) – I switched back to the Everard inquiry there.
Meanwhile back at the Covid inquiry: A spokesman for the Covid Inquiry… said the chair had made clear at the start that would take time and have significant cost, but it would result in recommendations that are intended to better protect the UK when the next pandemic strikes. (BBC)
And that’s gonna be the old Keir Starmer mantra – apparently with a slight twist “Sooner, Harder, so we won’t have to do it Longer”
The “Sooner Harder” bit presunambly awarding stricter enforcement powers to the cops – so better flush out all the perverts, rapists, flashers, peeping toms now before it happens… in fact, let’s just ban Men.
And another thing..
Kremlin signals no Ukraine breakthrough after Putin talks with US (BBC) – whatever the terms of the peace deal – our BBC ain’t gonna like it.

Perhaps there should be a public inquiry into public inquiries ?
Maybe ‘public inquiries ‘ is the one thing britainistan is good at ?
Is there a survey of outcomes versus changes ? Changes which have had a real lasting benefit ? Of recommendations carried through for public benefit ? – genuine question .
Seems to me the biggest benefit for politicians is to placate the eternal campaigners and kick an issue into the long grass as well as kicking political opponents ….. but then – of course -m there is still the refusal to carry out a paki paedo racist rape gang inquiry because the Marxists know the outcome already ….
And if you look at the timescale – 2030 report ? 2031 2032 2033 ….?
We must view the attempt to replace trial by jury with trial by judges as yet another phase in the Blairite transfer of power from the people to the technocratic elite.
Since 1997 the ability of the ordinary people to control what happens in their country has been steadily reduced. In effect we have been disenfranchised by stealth.
Their elected representatives in the HoC are no longer the sole makers of laws , these can now be challenged and subject to review by unelected and unaccountable judges .
Many of the powers of ministers have been transferred to unelected and unaccountable Qangos . Other powers have been transferred to supranational bodies eg the WHO. We see that heads of councils cannot be disciplined by the political elected councils .Even the Brexit vote has been unable to wrest back control for the people.
Juries of ordinary people have the power to judge guilt or innocence of someone on trial and this is now going to be much diminished.
The next target of the technocrats must be democratic elections. Which makes me think that at the next , and possibly last , meaningful GE we either vote in a Reform government with a large majority or democracy in this country is finished. Even then a Reform government will face a struggle against the technocratic Blob which will make Brexit implementation seem like a vicarage tea party. They will need our full support for a minimum of three election cycles , 15 years, if we are going to beat the Blob and get our country back.
You cannot vote to get the leader of the EU out – so the EU has no democracy – yet Labour want to join this party?
Double – even working on a dangerous assumption of a Reform Government – the expectation on them will be Huge with the whole blob actively trying to take them down …. The prospect of a Zac-TTK -Davey regime is frightening …
Indeed. Febrile times.
I am confronting the #NOTA #politicsoftheleastbad options already, but at the last GE they put up a clearly unsuitable candidate on any basis, local or national.
And every chancer with a history will see them as a ticket to HoC cushty.
So they need to firm up checks and vetting a hundredfold.
But so long as the msm is reducing itself still to getting in colleagues to ‘recall’ stuff from school days there is a chance its malign sway is now over.

“General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton, asked the Justice Minister in the House of Lords to guarantee that at least people accused of speech crimes have a right to a jury trial, which is such an important bulwark of free speech.
She declined.
Trial by jury is a cornerstone of English liberty — especially free speech.
David Lammy’s plans amount to the biggest assault on our liberty in 800 years.
If the Government were serious about reducing delays and the court backlog, they’d stop creating so many new criminal offences — 65 in the Crime and Courts Bill alone.
If Lammy gets his way and jury trials are scrapped, you’re far more likely to be banged up for hurty words. We cannot let this happen.“

Waited to the end to see what this minister was.
No surprise there.
Wonder if her history runs to the eventual fate of Robespierre?
“Robespierre was arrested and with around 90 others, he was executed without trial.”
But only after a cartoon pointed out that he had executed the executioner after he had all others first.

The current time indication for a Reform/True-Blue Conservative government to repair the damage that Starmer and his dreadful crowd are doing, have done and certainly will continue to do, is around seven years.
It’s a long time to wait, and the malevolent lying and cheating we’re experiencing now will get much worse for the time being, but rampant depraved socialism is now on its last gasp before it is completely obliterated at the next election, so there’s now some hope for future generations, but they’ll have to wait a few years…
By the time the general election comes round all the Reform voters will have been jailed for some reason or other.

“Lifting 5000 kids out of poverty in Rochdale.”
………
The Rochdale child sex abuse ring targeted underage teenage girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Nine men were convicted of sex trafficking and other offences including rape, trafficking girls for sex and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child in May 2012. This resulted in Greater Manchester Police launching Operation Doublet and other operations to investigate further claims of abuse. As of January 2024 a total of 42 men had been convicted resulting in jail sentences totalling 432 years.[1] Forty-seven girls were identified as victims of child sexual exploitation during the initial police investigation.[2][3][4] The men were British Pakistanis, which led to discussion on whether the failure to investigate them was linked to the authorities’ fear of being accused of racial prejudice.

Im always surprised by the ungodly /satanic BBC fixation on Christmas – but I suppose it’s the traditional mad queue at Argos on Christmas Eve as though shops might only be closed for 24 hours ….
No goats shortage during Eid? Strange!
Typical BBC, unbiased.
Least we forget how it all works … videos, words, pictures … you don’t get to choose the arrangement …
Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-34136334
“… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
-Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015
Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.
Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”
“You have lost, You lost. The mistake you made was you let us in, in the first place. That’s the thing with brown people, there’s a lot of us. Like a lot. 1.2 billion in India. 200 million in Pakistan. There is a bunch of us, and we breed. We are a breeding people. ” – Wajahat Ali
“Once you let one of us in, you know what happens. Our grandmother comes, Our grandfather. Our uncle. Out aunt. Our cousin comes.. Our second cousin comes. Then we have kids, a bunch of kids.”
“You have lost. It’s a story of misery. It’s filled with bland chicken. Terrible dry ass meat. Your music sucks. All your culture sucks. That’s why the kids listen to black music.”
Who is this ‘you’ that he refers to? I don’t know of anyone who was asked if they wanted millions of people – whether brown, black, yellow, white, or blue with green stripes – allowed into their countries. In the absence of any form of democratic mandate, it can be argued that all of the mass migration which has been imposed on Britain since 1948 (British Nationality Act) and on the USA since 1965 (Immigration and Nationality Act – Hart-Cellar Act) lacks legitimacy.
Sounds like he is “deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction”
….
Genocide is an international crime involving acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. The specific acts that constitute genocide are: killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction, imposing measures to prevent births, and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Readers may remember the time Milo refused the assistance of the BBC hair and makeup team ahead of an interview, on the grounds that he didn’t trust the BBC as far as he could throw them – or words to that effect.
Given the vile allegations against the makeup team who prepared Farage, it seems he had a point!

What latest Ukraine talks reveal about Putin’s state of mind
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpq4e21nr5vo
The BBC’s useful idiot Steve Rosenberg proving once again his skill is to present the agenda line, not the truth.
He writes this as if it shows how crazy Putin is:
‘In various statements he has condemned the Ukrainian leadership as a “thieving junta”, accused European leaders of trying to sabotage peace efforts, and insisted that Russia holds the initiative on the battlefield.’
Like it or not, Putin is right on all counts.
It’s very clear to me that the EU do not want a peace deal. They want Ukraine for their own expansion and if Putin takes the East here, that dream is dead. And with it the eventual EU expansion into Russia itself.
It is also clear that the biggest threat to us all is the EU triggering a war with Russia. I have a feeling they are thinking they might just be able to win it after the losses in Ukraine. Putin may be they typical Russian leader who has no problem scarificing soldiers for victory – but he is most certainly no fool and most certainly not mad.
It’s NATO and the EU which is full of idiots who have no experience or idea of what their politicial decisions will lead to. Why is NATO rushing to the aid of a non-NATO country ?. That’s an offensive role, not defensive like we are told is why we fund them.
Our government drags us into this without my support. If they manage to push Russia so hard that Russia fear their own country is threatened, they will use nukes. But not before.
Send all the woman to the front with the LGBT trans army!
“”Drivers, artillerymen, and cooks” are holding the line, says Bohdan Krotevich, an officer formerly with the Azov Brigade’s headquarters. “A maximum of 12 fighters hold sections 5-10 kilometers wide.”
The lack of manpower is allowing Russia to employ what Ukraine’s commander in chief, Oleksandr Syrskiy, recently called “total infiltration” tactics. Small infantry groups make it through Ukrainian lines — including into Pokrovsk, the key city in the Donetsk region that is likely the main target of Russia’s current offensive.”

“The immigrants make their way north, having no desire to assimilate to French culture, but continuing to demand a First World standard of living, even as they flout laws, do not produce, and murder French citizens, such as factory bosses and shopkeepers, as well as the ordinary people who do not welcome them. They are also joined by the immigrants who already reside in Europe, as well as various left-wing and anarchist groups. Across the West, more and more migrants arrive and have children, rapidly growing to outnumber whites. In a matter of months, the white West has been overrun and pro-immigrant governments have been established, while the white people are ordered to share their houses and flats with the immigrants. ”

I wouldn’t blame him, western Europe is a wreck of its own making.
“Europe is currently unable to launch even its own weather satellites, and India, which managed a soft landing on the Moon last year, now has a more credible space program. Twenty years ago, before SpaceX had launched a single rocket, Richard Bowles, a sales director of the European Arianespace launch consortium, said SpaceX’s ambition to launch, recover and reuse rockets, cutting the price of launches in half, was a dream.
‘SpaceX primarily sems to be selling a dream. Which is good, we should all dream,’ he said. ‘I think reusability is a dream… How am I going to respond to a dream?… First of all you don’t wake people up. They have to wake up on their own… They’re not supermen. Whatever they can do, we can do.’
Elon’s Musk’s dream has become Europe’s nightmare. France’s Arianespace has this year managed to launch just one of the new Ariane 6 rockets made by its ArianeGroup umbrella company. It came four years late and hundreds of millions of euros over budget. SpaceX has already completed 96 launches this year, recovered and reused almost all of them, and expects to reach 148 launches by the end of December. ”

Elizabeth Kinney was angry about being physically assaulted by a man. So she called the man a ‘f*ggot’ in a private text message. The use of the word ‘f*ggot’ by a woman, is a far more serious crime than being physically assaulted by a man. So Merseyside Police sent 11 police officers to her home as she took a bath. Ten male police officers and one female officer entered her home and intruded on her privacy as she sat in her tub completely naked. The police informed her that she was being apprehended for the serious crime of violating the “Malicious Communications Act (1988)”, for using the word f*ggot in an unauthorised text message, when she also sent photographs of her injuries, which included a fractured skull, to a woman who allegedly caused the confrontation in the first place.
Elizabeth Kinney, a care assistant from the UK, claims she was naked and crying when eleven officers entered her crowded bathroom without warning. The 34-year-old was detained under the “Malicious Communications Act (1988)” after sending messages to a female acquaintance following an assault. Officers later informed her she faced a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison if found guilty, of the ‘very serious crime’ of calling her attacker a f*ggot. The average sentence for the lesser crime of assault by a f*ggot, occasioning actual bodily harm, is only 14 months in prison, almost 9 years less than calling a f*ggot who assaults girls, a f*ggot: https://x.com/TRobinsonNewEra/status/1994795918806089910
How long is it before victims of a crime start to stay quiet and simply kill the criminal to get any form of justice?
So many lefties coming on tv saying how their budget is lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty.
One just now said ‘absolute poverty’
How do they define this ‘poverty’ they keep bringing up.
Is a child in absolute poverty when they have the iPhone 15 and not the iPhone 16.
Maybe when they only have one foreign holiday a year.
I would bet there’s loads of money in these poverty stricken households.
A hundred years ago there was poverty in the UK but I’m quite sure children were not dying of starvation. They didn’t get burgers or pizzas but they were fed.
I think this ‘poverty’ term is being well over used.
Apparently, working households are also in poverty, more than those living on benefits according to a(nother) Labour guest on GBN (so many lefties on GBN now)
And we are something like the sixth richest Nation on Earth (or whatever we are now)
If there really are so many children in (absolute) poverty it’s all down to our politicians, are they proud of how they are running the Country.
Of course, our children are not in poverty. It’s just another over used word which is becoming meaningless (just like racist)
Or am I wrong?
All Children who survive abortion without pocket money, live in poverty, and 321,500 children are killed by abortion in Britain every year. The Labour government uses behavioural scientists to encourage suicide and generate fear of Climate Change and Covid, using psychological warfare techniques on children ‘not’ aborted after birth. The ‘Fear-washing’ has been most effective on causing small children to commit suicide after abortion fails. Many children are amongst the 15,416,140 estimated deaths and injuries in the UK from mRNA vaccines up to the 28th February 2024. This estimate is based on the MHRA report of 489,004 spontaneous suspected adverse drug reaction reports relating to the covid-19 vaccine, up to and including 28 February 2024, sent in a written answer to Dr Neale Hanvey MP, and including the MHRA estimate that only 10% of serious adverse events and 3% of non-serious events are formally reported: https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/covid_19/millions_experienced_covid_19_vaccine_side_effects
Andrew Bridgen talks to Ukcolumn, about how the government kills lots of children living in poverty: https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/the-tide-is-turning-andrew-bridgen
No you are not wrong I have lived in poverty when I was a child My parents did not go on holidays or have expensive clothes. My father was lucky to go to the pub for a few pints once a week and he worked. We had no fridge, no dishwasher, no 50 inch TV or a car (my father would go to work on his bike) But we did not go hungry as being fed was at the top of the list when the wages came in then the electric and rates. I went on a weekend holiday once to Whitby the next time I had a holiday was when I was married with three children.
Poverty these days seem to be measured by the lack of luxuries not necessities
I revisited some compact notes by my Uncle Jack who was born in 1907.
In his ‘old age’ he decided to write everything he could remember, so that we could all understand a bit more about the family back then!
Here’s a eye-opener, copied just as he wrote it, and referring to my Great Grandparents’ life in Stevenage, and my family’s visits whenever possible…
“Possessed of a fund of stories, she would lie back in an arm chair with one of us children on each side, and tell tales for hours at a time. Some true, some fictional, some told so often that we knew them. One I particularly recall, concerned welfare work by the church.
Real poverty and want was common before 1910, when parliamentary acts brought some relief, and their church raised money to aid distressed families at Christmas. Grandma and Grandpa were delivering hampers of food, and where needed, a few toys.
At one house, they passed the living room window going to the door and saw the father and mother and children, all on their knees in prayer to the Lord. They had no food in the house whatsoever.”
That’s poverty…
Is anyone living like this now? Or anyone who has such pride as not to take anything for nothing?
Rupert Lowe MP has found out that the Government communication service ( or similar lying name ) has 6000 staff ‘monitoring the internet ‘,- presumably they all work from home in the dressing gown …..is that right 77 Brigade ?
But – 24/7 – 6000 =-@ 1500 per shift – that’s never enough to check on all the known dissenters yet alone little sites like this one where we don’t even conspired to overthrow the Marxist regime ….. bit of a tease there …
Home Secretary announces new national online hate crime hub
The expert unit will channel all reports of online hate crime and reduce burden on frontline officers.
From: Home Office
Published 8 October 2017
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/home-secretary-announces-new-national-online-hate-crime-hub
Online hate crime is completely unacceptable. What is illegal offline is illegal online, and those who commit these cowardly crimes should be met with the full force of the law.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd has announced a new national hub to tackle the emerging threat of online hate crime. It will ensure better support for victims and help drive up the number of prosecutions.

West Midlands Police has said the home secretary’s speech to last year’s Conservative Party conference is being treated as a “hate incident”.
In the speech, Amber Rudd suggested tightening rules that allow UK firms to recruit workers from overseas.

TWaTO Watch #1 – The Montacutie does Israel
There was an item on TWaTO about Israel. The ultra-Orthodox Jews in Yeshivas for study of Torah have for years resisted being called up into the IDF, the Israel Defence Force. Bibi’s government depends on the ultra-Orthodox for support. Negative about the Netanyahu Government, I sensed the BBC wanted to get Bibi’s government out of the way so they could have a rather more liberal or Socialist government in Israel. 🙁
Glasgow is being taken over and swamped by migrants who don’t integrate and have no intention of integrating…and, contrary to BBC lies, it is the generous benefits and guarantees of housing that attracts them…the BBC completely ignored the latest revelations but did give us this…undoubtedly timed as a counter-narrative to a story it doesn’t like as it downplays issues and portrays anyone protesting about immigration as deluded and racist…..there is no real problem…just your bigoted perceptions…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c23evz4jen3o
London gone. Glasgow gone. Now fill in the middle.
Funny how supportive of the police this BBC report is…the headline is dramatic but at odds with the body of the text which presents the police version of events as the true version…whilst missing out inconvenient points.
The BBC quotes the British police but fails to mention that the Dutch police deny they said what is claimed and that their actual report is completely different to what the British police claim…but the BBC forgets to remind us of that as they give us this…
‘Mr Guildford said: “The information provided from the Dutch was very, very clear in terms of they reflected on the days before, during and after the match as a result of clashes between the Maccabi ultras and the local Muslim community.
“In terms of what we were told, the ultras were very well organised, militaristic in the way that they operated.
“They attacked members of the local community, including taxi drivers. Tore down flags. People were thrown into the river.”
He added that the Dutch commanders were “unequivocal” that they “would never want to have Maccabi Tel Aviv playing in Amsterdam again in the future”.’
They also fail to mention that the only person thrown in the river was an Israeli who was told to shout ‘Free Palestine’ before they would let him out.
The BBC also fails to mention a major factor in the ban…local Muslim politicians demanding a ban and local Muslim thugs threatening mass violence if there wasn’t….so far from the Israelis being the threat it was…Muslims…as in Holland.
The police bent the knee and did what they were told to by the Muslim community to keep the peace [much as they did in Rotherham and Rochdale] and the BBC provides the media cover story…as they did in Rotherham and Rochdale.
What can go wrong when the Establishment imports and embeds a dangerous foreign ideology that is completely at odds with our own culture, values and beliefs?

The satanic keystone finest in action in Cranebridge:
Paul Gardner was arrested in Cambridge for showing the reality of what happens to a baby in a late-term abortion – something MPs in the UK voted to legalise for women, back in June 2025.
JonathanR
Thank you for putting that up – however revolting it was – senator Kennedy truly is a power for good . Those ‘women’ reminded me of the concentration camp guards explaining how they’d put kids in the gas chambers .
I also admire the distortion of the language to sanitise baby killing ….. dehumanising a ‘baby ‘ into a foetus – which means that at 9 months it’s a foetus and at 9 months 1 minute it’s a baby …..
Although I think they want to kill babies after birth as well now ….
Irony someone can kill a baby but if you protest about it the police will arrest…you.
The same MPs who no doubt contrarily will not vote for assisted dying where a fully grown adult chooses to die…rather than a baby which is given no choice. Those same MPs who look away now when people are put on the laughably named ‘care pathway’ where the patient is denied food and water and dies a lingering death…basically assisted dying but not quick or painless.

Finally it’s been admitted. The Covid shot may have killed more children than it saved. So far, with just a minimalist examination, the FDA has found 10 died but cautions there may be many more.
