BBC news channel.
‘Interviewer’. “That’s all we have time for”.
No it isn’t, you are a 24/7 news channel, There’s no adverts to rush too, there’s no rush to the next programme. Let the guest dictate when they have finished, not you. News readers are all celebrities these days, quiz shows, bake offs, odyssey to where their grandparents left paradise to come to racist Britain, The One Show to promote a book or “journey” etc.
Rant over, off to work in the pouring rain to support someone with five kids.
Harry, I agree. Compliments of the season to you and I wish you a happy & peaceful home with five children.
Thank you. I don’t have any children, unfortunately. Just proxy ones to support.
There was a lady teacher at my previous church who did not like the word ‘kids’ as children were not goats. Well, good for you supporting five ‘proxy’ children, have a Happy Christmas. Will you get invited to the ‘proxy’ family for Christmas? If you do have a great time.

In less than 2 weeks the Marxists have
1 delivered a corrupt budget
2 cancelled jury trials
3 brought in widespread facial recognition
4 cancelled 4 mayoral elections in may 2026 for 2 years

But it ain’t biased …
There’s a remarkable multiple incidence of Russophobia-themed items that crop up in the news today.
Ukraine and US negotiators to meet in Florida after Moscow talks, White House says (BBC) – and, as your Mr AsI has asserted hereabouts – if there’s any inkling of a peace deal – our BBC, ie our regime mouthpieces, won’t like it.
The mildly conservative, vestigially patriotic, Telegraph: Ukraine bombarded as Putin rejects peace – well, there is still a war on – until there’s a peace deal.
The compliant regime spokes-sheet the Times just happens to rehash this old favourite this morning: MI5 faces censure for novichok case failures… “grotesque disregard for human life”… Ministers are expected to announce further targeted sanctions against Russia – someone tipping the wink to the Times there.
And a big up for the EU as the Times frontpage does a Russia Two For: EU eyes Russian cash… “reparations loan”
The left-leaning Guardian is of course anti-Brexit Remainer central and all about the processes (not, in this instance, the peace process): EU officials back frozen asset plan to help Kyiv
Reds under the flatbed
Russian spies secretly entering UK on cargo ships… Investigation by The i paper reveals how the Kremlin is smuggling some of its operatives into Britain – Oh, so you undertook this investigation all on your own initiative did yer, i paper? Well, gosh. Smuggling illegal entrants secretly into Britain must be about the easiest assignment for those wily FSB agents that there is these days.
Spies who came in from the cold war
Moscow is exploiting ‘less rigorous’ border checks at ports (i paper) – further comment would seem superfluous – suffice to say, you’ll spot the Ruskie intruders among all the Afghans, Eritreans, Syrians, Iranians, and Sudanese breeching our borders and now free to go wandering will-nilly about your local neighbourhood, ‘cos those dangerous Russians are the ones with snow on their boots.
I’ll say this for the virtual Indy, kudos to their journalism – their gungho anti-Russia messaging is explicit and attributed: ‘Kremlin claptrap’: No 10 derides Putin’s war threat – as Nato warns he’ll ‘feel it’ if Russia targets allies
Cold war
The FT does its bit focusing on the financial aspect: EU floats Kyiv funds fix… frozen Russian assets
Catherine the Great
Whilst our media have reverted to snide commentary about the Duchess: Find Meghan grating? Try adding Christmas (i paper)
Even the left-leaning Gruan awards a lowly two star rating for her latest awful media effort: ‘Assume the crash position’ With love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration… take anti-nausea pills, she’s back! …serves food that looks like animal droppings and cooks a meal that Prince Harry hates.
Too soon, Guardian? Meghan’s father ‘fighting for life’… intensive care (Daily Mail)
Whereas, the sister-in-law Princess: Catherine is the belle of the ball (Express)
In further bad health news
Some rather odd symptoms present in the Mail: I fear my year on fat jabs is the reason my feet have stopped working Jenni Murray
‘Bullying culture’ harmed patient safety at scandal-hit NHS hospital (Guardian) – not quite the headline your Mr AsI would have picked to head up this litany of NHS payroll staff malfeasance reported – but then I’m not wedded to the NHS as an institution…
Two nurse jailed for stealing drugs and sedating patients to make their shifts easier… leading heart surgeon was imprisoned for sexually assaulting five colleagues… coroner ruled… elderly female patient had been sexually assaulted and unlawfully killed in her hospital bed; a murder investigation has concluded without identifying a suspect… The Report… by the Royal College of Physicians… does not mention the convictions of staff (Guardian) – well, it wouldn’t, would it.

When Reform get in, take a few hundred mill out of their bloated pensions, and pay working people what they’re owed! And that goes for all the bBC knobs on eye-watering money for being t***s as well – all after binning their ‘charter’.
Oh, and sack the Whitehall blobbies, make them re-apply for their ‘jobs’ on new terms,etc., halve the numbers, and give them an office somewhere like leafy Southall.
Nurses, decent teachers, etc, can have a substantial rise, doctors a few extra quid, and all DEI departments to be closed down. Coppers have to speak and act ‘Sweeny’ from day one…

Thanks for your commitment to the cause comrade.
Ha ha ha!
I’m just wondering how the Poll Tax riots were organised! You know these things, Marky, any chance of a re-visit because if I was in a ‘mayoral’ council debate to find that the democratic right to vote had been put back a couple of years, I’d be mighty sore as well!
Apparently the Hampshire delegate is spitting bullets…*
*Fed, if this is unsayable, just substitute the last word for ‘image’…
“The main organization behind the poll tax protests was the All Britain Anti-Poll Tax Federation (ABAPTF), often called “the Fed”. It was created to coordinate local anti-poll tax unions and their campaigns of non-payment and protest across the country. The Militant Tendency played a leading role in this federation. ” Google AI
All Britain Anti-Poll Tax Federation (ABAPTF): This was a national umbrella organization that united thousands of local anti-poll tax unions, trade unions, and other community groups in the campaign against the poll tax. It was the main body for coordinating protests and the non-payment campaign.
Militant Tendency: This political group was a major force within the ABAPTF and was at the forefront of organizing the non-payment campaign.
Local Unions: The national federation was made up of thousands of local anti-poll tax unions that organized a wide range of resistance activities, such as mass turnouts at court hearings to clog the legal system and community defense groups to protect against bailiffs
Thanks Marky – I’d forgotten all that!
Nurses have good pay already IMO. And British women will do the jobs if they aren’t passed over for foreign hires.
Maybe make them work for minimum wages because they love their job? Just like 650 MPS!
Sir John Bell pointed out the other day that all the extra NHS spending has been spent on staff. Nothing on equipment, scanners, new hospitals IT etc etc.
There has been no proportionate in patients being treated and the waiting lists have barely changed.
The whole thing is therefore demonstrably unproductive.
Massive reform needed. It won’t happen.
FREE ON THE NHS …. FREE … “In April 2020, the government announced a £13.4 billion write-off of internal debt owed by NHS trusts to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). This was achieved by converting the loans to equity (Public Dividend Capital or PDC), which meant the trusts no longer had to repay the principal and interest on these specific loans”
Have to say that there’s a little personal experience in my post…
While remission for the cancer is written in so far, the regular doses need to be stuck in, and rely on outpatients’ departments handling a heck of a lot of patients all day.
The other day, a nurse was administering the ‘big needle’, and the syringe broke. She was very perturbed as that stuff is lethal if allowed outside the old frame – especially one as old as mine!
I found out later that she had been on duty non-stop for nearly eight hours, and hadn’t had a chance to stop for a break and have anything to eat… She was doing the work, several other admin departments were doing the dis-organising!
As for the blobbies in Whitehall – that’s a real problem which will take Reform years to complete, but I bet they’re working on it now, unlike TTK’s lot who didn’t have a clue when they squeaked into power…
20 Typhoons
8 Billion pounds worth
20,000 jobs in UK
Keir Starmer: I’ve just agreed a deal with Türkiye to secure 20,000 British jobs across the UK
……..
“The Eurofighter Typhoon is not entirely outdated, but it is becoming obsolete in its original role due to the rise of fifth-generation stealth fighters. It remains a capable multi-role aircraft, especially with recent upgrades, but its design lacks stealth, making it vulnerable in contested airspace against sophisticated threats. Future operations will likely see it used more as a “missile truck” or support aircraft, working alongside stealthier platforms rather than being the primary front-line fighter. ”
…………
The deal will help to sustain a 20,000 strong UK wide workforce, with production lines in Edinburgh, Warton, Salmesbury and Bristol.
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/20000-uk-jobs-secured-as-turkiye-buys-20-typhoon-jets-in-biggest-fighter-jet-deal-in-a-generation
The deal comes just weeks after the UK’s Type 26 frigates were selected by Norway, adding a further £10 billion to Britain’s economy and securing 4,000 jobs.
The deal also follows the Prime Minister and the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz signing a new agreement in July to boost world-class UK defence exports such as Boxer armoured vehicles and Typhoon.
Note: Jobs do not add up to 20,000 (6000+1100+800)
Note: UK will see 37% of order (so not 8 billion for UK)
Note: Parts will probably be from Turkey
Note: Computer now wants me to spell Turkey the Turkish way – HA HA HAH AH AHA! Turkey is not good enough has to be Türkiye
…………….
Keir is an amazing sales man – this is good for the economy and can be used to give jobs to the boat people! Everyone wins!
It’s amusing how Westerners like to both kowtow and display their ignorance when it comes to the names of foreign countries. When someone insists on saying Beijing instead of Peking, ask them what country it is in. They will say China, rather than Zhongguo, which is how the Chinese refer to their own country. Or they will talk about Mumbai instead of Bombay, but be totally ignorant that the local name of the country is Bharat rather than India. The Chinese and Indians, being pragmatic people, have no problem in referring to themselves or their countries using Anglicised names, nor do the Turks for that matter.
Now, lets speculate why these principles of deference don’t apply in the cases of Deutschland (Germany), Suomi (Finland), Magyarország (Hungary), Hrvatska (Croatia)…

I managed to stomach an amount of the disgraceful Emma Barnet’s pre-planned hatchet job on Reform MP Richard Tice on Toady this morning. At about 0710 I think.
The ‘interview’ (interrogation) was ostensibly about the Labour government’s cancellation by 2 years of mayoral elections in areas where Reform stand a chance of being successful.
Barnett accused him of not believing the government that more time was needed in preparation. What a crime!
But what’s he really wanted to talk about were the accusations from Nigel Farage’s school chums 50 years ago that he expressed pro Nazi views.. Tice should have told her to take a long walk off a short pier but he didn’t. He needs to wise up to these clearly biased pro Labour BBC tactics.
As a clear exercise in BBC bias, the whole thing was classic.
Yes, I listened to that setup / hatchet job. “You (Tice) changed the subject” Apparently opening the exchange out to a direct attack on the racist (etc) Nigel Farage. Tice is not a brilliant orator so he was soft meat. Our Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster at their best !!
It will never happen but the BBC drastically needs defunding allowing it to naturally dry/shrivel up until it eventually ignites under an intense Sun.
G
I might not be Machiavellian enough but I cannot see the benefit of any Reform people engaging with the BBC – where is the gain ?
The BBC knows that under a Reform Governmenf the BBC will be changed – for the better – im too naive to think it will be ended – but I just hope …

YOU JUST CAN’T PLEASE SOME PEOPLE………..
Last night on the news I watched a report from a London hospital . Dozens of people were on trolleys in the corridors, no privacy , no dignity granted to them at a time when they were vulnerable..elderly confused and one stating a procedure had been carried out on her whilst she had been moved into a lavatory to provide some privacy.
Why do these moaning people not realise that this is absolutely necessary. How else do they imagine we can find space to treat people from Gaza. Palestine is what matters not a load of people who live here . For goodness sake shut up and stop being selfish.
And another thing don’t mention your concerns to all the M.P.s who will be visiting the Hospital…..Wait… what am I thinking..
Say you know MP Jess Philips and you can get to the front of the Queue!
Friend
I accompanied my mother to hospital in a 999 ambulance – I knew one of the crew – he gave me a choice of corridor – one was local and the other a few miles away ( NE londonistan) – despite the waiting time he recommended the local corridor – which is where we went for about 18 hours …. She being 86 with dementia . I stayed until she got a bed ….
This was over 10 years ago …. And it’s one of the reasons I say build more corridors …. My combat experience with their welfare state ended my relationship or belief in it . …
From the BBC. .. Patients clogging A&E with hiccups, sore throats and other niggles.

last year it was 1100, up 56% this year, so an extra 617

The war against reform is getting more intense – 4 mayoral elections cancelled – due for 6 months time – the BBC doing an openly biased and hostile live interview on today and cutting richard tice off at the- even their private Christmas party has been cancelled at short notice .
TTK has clearly infiltrated Reform and is attempting to derail it . I feel that thr anger building up is just growing and growing and sooner of later it will be expressed physically – That is a prediction – not an incitement – for the record 77 brigade

Ireland is just as sick as the UK. Imagine a Christian being persecuted in a supposed catholic country.
Ireland is no longer a Catholic country. It is a fully paid up member of the liberal west, with all the abortion, gay marriage, trans rights and mass immigration that goes with it. Why did they ever bother fighting Britain for their independence only to make exactly the same mistakes?
“A pensioner with dementia has been convicted of not keeping up with TV Licence payments, in the latest case of harsh justice from the Single Justice Procedure.
The 69-year-old was prosecuted by TV Licensing earlier this month over the unpaid household bill, and now has a conviction to his name.
He wrote to the court to explain that he lives alone and had “messed up” with bills and getting into debt as his health declined and he started to lose mental capacity. ”

That’s the normal pattern of voting for topics like that on HYS harry.
But during Brexit and the assasination of the Tory party, the comments and voting changed dramatically. But only for those specific types of articles. For your last example, it would have been the exact opposite. And also the comments would have been the nasty, childish spiteful type – not actual arguments.
It was very obvious some kind of troll farm was engaged when it suited the BBC agenda of the time. It was interference of the most serious kind : it was to change the countries political direction. And it only happened on the few HYS linked to those topics.
I am sure the BBC and their lawyers have complete plausible deniability over it. But I am also sure some left-wing activist group arranged it. There may well have been some verbal interaction between the two but there will be no evidence of that for sure.
One thing which is certain though is that the BBC knew it was happening and totally ignored it. The moderators were definitely in on it.
Putin ‘morally responsible’ for ‘unsurvivable’ Novichok poisoning of Dawn Sturgess, inquiry finds
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr4drxwk4dxt
‘chairman Lord Hughes concluded there was “overwhelming” evidence of a Russian state attack and that the operation was authorized at the “highest level, by President Putin”‘
What disturbs me about this is not just that it has no evidence whatsoever to support the conclusions it has come up with, but also the fact those conclusions have been instantly condensed into hard fact and responses are flying thick and fast on that basis.
The best AI can give me is that the two men accused were in Salisbury. That is the only evidence they got despite the huge amount of surveillence we are all under. That is it – they have reached to certain cunclusions based on their own opinions.
Now don’t get me wrong : it’s very likely Russia did do it. As far as they were concerned, the man was a traitor and the idea of it was to act as a deterrent for anyone else thinking to do the same. Again, not nice by any means but it’s ‘normal’ for states like Russia. Others are even worse of course – for example Kim Jong Un executed someone with an anti-aircraft canon. God alone knows what we British have done in our time : we were the most ruthless of the lot once to set examples.
So when I read statements like this:
‘Russian agency ‘sanctioned in its entirety’ as ambassador summoned’
All I can think about is Ukraine and the very obvious fact that the EU do not want the war to end with Russia as the winner. The net result of this article for me is that we are being prepared for a possible war.
Trying to work out what the aim of this article is, as well JohnC, other than “Putin bad, Russia bad” (and the subtext that “we all know Reform (and Farage!) take Russian bribes”), I can’t really see what is the point?
I have a personal interest, as it was a local incident, and the decontamination process caused massive upheaval – some local businesses never recovered.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure it was an assassination attempt, authorised and condoned, if not actively initiated by Putin, as you say, to make an example of defector Skripal. Beyond that, we’ll almost certainly never know the facts, and I’m quite sure a great many such ‘operations’ go on all the time, and no major country has completely clean hands.
I’m also 100% certain that Putin and the Russian Government had their plausible deniability securely in place from day one, and this is all just hot air, and very little factual information.
It’s tragic that the (druggie) lady in Amesbury died, and unfortunate that a policeman, and Skripal’s daughter were hospitalised, but they were all just collateral in a failed assassination attempt. In reality, we were very lucky, it could have been a lot, lot worse.
Was Putin behind it? Hell yeah! Can anyone prove it? Of course not!
Not so much time and effort going into proving (the extremely obvious fact) that the accidental release of a potentially lethal biological weapon (COVID) by the Chinese wrecked absolute chaos, globally, for some reason? (Even though we all know certain political agents in the UK are their chums, hey?)
Is the BBC biased? Hell yeah!
Still seeing tv cop shows, mostly US, where the station chief says “don’t come back until you have clear evidence”.
The BBC of course is happy with “well, it was something he may have done”.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93nll07z3go
“Ofcom has told the BBC it has never heard from a porn company it has fined £1m for failing to comply with the UK Online Safety Act.
It said it had been emailing AVS Group Ltd since it launched its investigation in July, but had not had a response at any point – so the firm had been fined an extra £50,000.”
“Ofcom said AVS must now implement highly effective age assurance within 72 hours or face an additional penalty of £1,000 a day.”
“The BBC has contacted a company called TubeCorporate, the adult content publishing platform behind AVS group Ltd sites, for a response.
The address which the firm uses is in the central American country Belize, and appears to be the registered address of a large number of companies: although they do not have physical offices there.”
How much authority do Ofcom have to fine companies registered in Belize?
My feeling is FA.
Are AVS Group Ltd quaking in their shoes? Doesn’t sound like it.
More legislation which sounds good, in soundbites, but achieves absolutely nothing in reality.

Having just watched the 50 minute press conference by Nigel Farage – Emma Barnett – who openly associated him with adolph hitler on Today this morning won’t be facing a defamation action because it uses up to much time and energy – what a luck bitch she is
I think Farage said he is going to boycott the BBC – which is a wise thing to do as Reform will never get a fair shake from the hateful group think .
Several fixated swamp types went on and on about he 15? Year old Nigel Farage and what he is claimed to have said by fellow pupils – now bribed champagne socialists working for the Marxists . These questions were repeatedly batted away .
Im sure the spin the BBC puts on this will push further – as they cover up their corruption be editing speech by the US president – remember ?
The cancelling of elections next year is very TTK and as Farage said – a disgrace .
Not a 15 year old … HA HAH AH AHAHAH A

“WATCH: Furious Farage Demands BBC Apologises for “Appalling Comments”
A blistering attack on the BBC from Nigel Farage just now:
“I think, to frame a question around the leader of Reform’s relationship with Hitler, which is how she framed it, was despicable, disgusting, beyond belief. Are you surprised that half a million people every year refuse to pay the license fee? Let me say this to you. The double standards and hypocrisy of the BBC are absolutely astonishing… I’m sick to death of the double standards and hypocrisy above all of your organisation and what happened on the Today programme this morning was an absolute disgrace. I’m done with you, until you apologise I’m not speaking to you.”
A total boycott unless the BBC apologises…”

“Wild eyes Wes” Streeting has caught a headline today, he has repeated a concern he raised in March of this year, yes, 8 months ago .
The concern is that there are just too many people who are troubled with mental health issues. You know ADHD, Autism, WD40, etc, etc,
He is determined to do something about all this, and what better than to order a review…….especially good , if it’s independent. Good for Wes , if only he had the power to do that in March……..oh wait a minute.. Yes , but Wes may have a problem if the review comes up with anything before he is sacked. Then what would he do ….well blame the Tories, brexit…Hmmm.
Having power isn’t it great.
I think he said 1 in 4 people are nut jobs ( benefits junkies ) now …

WikiLeaks: Warning for tomorrows possible, Internet shutdown?
Trump is engaged in a full blown assault on the Epstein’s child-trafficking empire. “It is collapsing faster than even we calculated” says Julian Assange.
Epstein/Maxwell hard drives batch 212–299 decrypted. Physical drives air-gapped since 2019 removed in 11 minutes. Primary batch designation DG-CYC-1125. Contains complete Epstein/Maxwell hard drives mirror set (lots 142–211), full Vatican Bank black ledger 2020–2025 continuation, and the master suppression files for Med Beds (Project AESCULAPIUS). Already seeded across 4,911 mirrors. Epstein/Maxwell hard drives batch 118–141 (the royal ledger) decrypted on-air by mirror swarm. Satanic elite blood rituals geo-located to Balmoral sub-basement, Windsor Castle crypt, and a private island off Tasmania. Attendees include currently-serving heads of state.
The CIA under Director John Brennan, drew up plans to assassinate Julian Assange. Brennan authorised going after his colleagues, wife, and even his infant son. Hillary Clinton literally asked if the CIA could just “Drone” him, or kill him by a pilotless, lethal aircraft from hundreds even thousands of miles away with a missile.
The core mission of WikiLeaks is to expose government and corporate secrets to the public to promote accountability and reform. Julian Assange says that “Every secret has an expiration date. Theirs is today”.
General Flynn and Barron Trump on Telegram: ―The greatest threats we have comes from within. And one of those threats comes from our own CIA. From running military style regime change and color revolution operations on US soil on our own president, to helping steal elections and execute assassinations on our own people. It‘s time to do what JFK wanted to do and ―splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.

‘Today’ compared Farage to Hitler this morning for words they claim he said when he was a 13 year old…Farage naturally is not happy….8 mins 40 secs he lets rip….I’d say he should do a Trump and sue them for every penny given they have devoted days and days of airtime to portraying Farage as a racist….
But today you can compare Starmer to Hitler, for words he said 50 years after he was 13 years old.
Hitler and Starmer both call themselves Socialists. Both are anti-British, anti-Churchill, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and anti-Russian. Both have plans to invade Russia. Hitler with Operation Barbarossa (1941) and Starmer with Operation Russian Sentry (2026). Both wanted pre-emptive strikes against Russia, as a defensive action.
Both Hitler and Starmer want compulsory ID Cards. Hitler was the first to issue compulsory ID cards, the Kennkarte on 22 July 1938. Also, Starmer wants to be more like Hitler, by abolishing trials by jury.
Starmer and Hitler also do not like individual liberty, national and local democracy, freedom and free speech. Both are against medical freedom and the Nuremberg code. Both have an authoritarian mindset, and want a totalitarian world government.
Also, Starmer was told that North Korea is officially named the ‘Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’. So Starmer wants to turn Britain into the ‘Democratic People’s Realm of Britain’.
This is how you can compare Hitler to the ‘63 year old’ Starmerfuhrer of Englund.
Farage has been taking lessons from Trump – about time.
Its unbeavable that with Labour doing all they can to undermine democracy and justice. The bBC think that what he did or did not do as a 13 year old schoolboy is more important. It just goes to show that they are not in any way unbiased.

At the press conference Farage gave on `Thursday afternoon he described the sort of stuff the BBC put out 50 years ago – when he allegedly said bad things in the play ground – Bernard manning got a mention – as well as ‘to death us do part ‘ and ‘it ain’t half hot mum ‘ and of course the ‘white and black minstrels ‘ … he made his point – but the swamp wasn’t listening ….

“So should it be joy and all that over one, or in this case two, sinners who repent? It’s certainly new seeing such concern about Jew hate from the two mainstream news organisations which have been more responsible than any others for the rise in antisemitism in recent years. Their slanted and misleading reports over the Gaza are just one example of how both have been in the vanguard of fostering Jew hate.
Unfortunately, however, it looks as if this is nothing more elevated than a political hit job on Farage. Far from being built on some new-found concern over antisemitism – which would involve serious soul searching and mass editorial resignations in both organisations – this is simply the Guardian the BBC weaponising antisemitism as a tool with which to beat their bete noire, Farage and Reform.”

So on Question Time tonight, the BBC asked a question of an Iranian illegal migrant in the audience.
His “question” was him reading from his phone a list of reasons why Britain should *not* withdraw from the ECHR.
He even mentioned the Northern Ireland Protocol!
Incredible.
Maybe he was Amy Rutland in disguise?
How they spin this one will be interesting.
In Iran letting your hijab slip means death! Iran to join ECHR!
The ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights) is an international treaty by the Council of Europe protecting fundamental rights like free speech, life, and fair trials, established post-WWII to prevent atrocities. It’s overseen by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg, allowing individuals to bring cases after exhausting national remedies.
We don’t need it because … “The UK is a signatory, and its principles are embedded in UK law via the Human Rights Act 1998. “

The more I think of the bBC and its childish attack on Farage it convinced me that they are no longer a serious news organisation.
Not only the bBC but most of the MSM seem to be obsessed with trivialities as if they have never left school themselves. I wonder if Robin Day or Brian Walden would have brought up some aledged bullying from a politician when he/she was at school. I am sure they would not.
So why pay a licence fee for playground chatter? They seem to be trying to out do the worst of the dross that can be found on youtube.

Politicians now gaslight us unconstrained. This one says not a single asylum seeker/illegal immigrant came by boat in 2017. And was applauded for it. But that’s because they were pouring in by the thousands hidden in lorries and other transport. It was only when improved technology made that very difficult that they switched to boats. It’s all well documented. But they still think they can lie with impunity.
The police instantly release the nationality of the ‘Polish nationals’ arrested on explosive charges….the BBC curiously avoids any mention apart from a very quick ‘police say’ way down the page….
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjwyqe1v7x6o
‘The two men who have been arrested are Polish nationals, Derbyshire Police has said.’
Maybe more to this story than they’re telling us…or not. They may be blonde blue-eyed native Poles but, lol, you can’t help having conspiracy theory suspicions judging by similar past claims about people being Welsh choirboys etc.
The BBC does tell us…
‘Derby City Council confirmed it had set up an assembly point at the Pakistani Community Centre in Harrington Street to support any affected residents, with a rest centre in place at The Salvation Army in Osmaston Road.
“A number of Derby City Council colleagues are on site to support with translations and help reassure any residents who have been evacuated. ‘
Makes you wonder if they are ‘Poles’ or something else…a, what must be, very rare ‘Pakistani Pole’.
‘Estimates suggest around 150,000 Pakistanis lived in Poland as of 2023. ‘
“Ripeet, pleez…”
Our various bent to the left news outlets express a limited range of phaseology today…
Dawn’s blood on his hands… Russian tyrant Putin – insists the in-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror – or should that be shove thousands more young Ukrianian men into tanks for the EU/Starmer?
In this long-running proxy war of ours where our weapons of choice are propaganda and rebounding financial sanctions this looks like a last desperate push to stave off peace.
Speaking of blood on their hands…
The left-leaning available in virtual form-only Indy goes with the very same phrase: You’ll have blood on your hands if you don’t tackle indefinite jail terms judge warns ministers… Britain’s former top judge… if they refuse to take action to help prisoners trapped serving the abolished sentence
Hmmmm… I’m sorry to say that expression ‘blood on their hands’ puts me in mind of: The Murder of Lee Rigby – Video footage of one of the perpetrators justifying the killing of Lee Rigby was obtained by The Sun and ITN… The Guardian reported there were “around 800 complaints from distressed viewers”… . BBC News showed some parts of the video… Sky News, which showed a still image of one of the suspected attackers with bloodied hands, received “a handful of complaints” – thank you Wiki.
Sentencing, m’Lud?
On 19 December 2013, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale were found guilty of the murder of Lee Rigby… On 26 February 2014, both men were sentenced to life imprisonment. Adebolajo was given a whole life order excluding the possibility of parole… Adebowale, the younger of the two, was given a minimum term of 45 years in prison… During the sentencing, Mr Justice Sweeney said that the extremist views of the attackers were a “betrayal of Islam”, prompting Adebowale to shout “That’s a lie”, while Adebolajo shouted “Allahu Akbar”. – Wiki with the facts there. Perhaps you ought to ‘believe all muslims’, when tell you stuff, m’Lud?
Personally, I’m quite tough on crime. I take the old golf commentator Peter Alliss line from his hot mike incident quote as my mantra: “They should be flogged, flogged, all the way to the gallows”

The left-leaning highly feminised junior Gruan that is the i paper features the spouse of the toothy Kiwi – apparently a man who knows his place: I slept in our room so she could run the country… by Jacinda Arden’s husband
Bit of a contradiction with this recent opinion: At first glance, you might be tempted to coo and giggle and blush over Prince William’s gushing tribute to Kate, the Princess of Wales… What William says about Kate isn’t sweet- it’s sexist (i paper)
Still, that new i paper story about the horsey one’s lesser half is guaranteed to get the feminist juices flowing. No Carrie Johnson level of political influence for that chap.
Hey, A.I….?
Yes, Carrie Johnson influenced Boris Johnson on various matters, though the extent and nature of this influence were debated. Evidence of her influence includes her involvement in the decision to stop a badger cull, the rejection of Lee Cain’s appointment as chief of staff, and controversy over the refurbishment of their Downing Street flat. Critics also alleged she had significant political power, while others dismissed this as a misogynistic trope, stating that Boris Johnson was capable of making his own decisions – thank you A.I.
Did the i paper just boycott the proud nation of Slovenia?
Ireland, Netherlands and Spain boycott Eurovision after Israel allowed to compete (i paper)
Netherlands, Spain, Ireland and Slovenia boycott Eurovision after Israel allowed to compete (BBC)
The Guardian even moves the central European statelet up a place in the Euro rankings: Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands will boycott next year’s Eurovision after Israel was given the all-clear to compete – and there I was thinking Eurovision was simply a happy clappy all together love in not to be taken too seriously campy old song contest. Could it get any gayer?
Oddly enough, I don’t recall a stadium bombing, knife attack in public or vehicle ploughing through a crowd event that might be attributed to this lot – but heyho…
