“But we have learnt somethings in the last 10 years. We have learnt that most of the press in free western countries are cowards. We’ve learnt that most of our artistic establishment are cowards. Most of our politicians are cowards.

Australians have had enough of ethnic groups fighting in Australia and bringing their intractable conflicts to our shores. They all need to be sent packing. Bondi is an iconic Australian beach, the home of Sydney’s beach culture. Enough is enough. Deport.
‘Ethnic groups fighting’ would be worthy of Jon Donnison for what seems to be two armed men in beards shooting Jewish children.
At least here they only have ‘implements’, and their local supporters sledgehammers.

While some get a boost of happiness by exercising and getting enough sleep, others are turning to interior design with bold paint and eye-catching patterns. It is a craze known as “dopamine decor”, which has more than 70,000 posts on TikTok, and involves adding bright, quirky items to your home for a happiness boost. (BBC)

I’m oddly reminded of that vintage Not The Nine O’Clock News sketch, where Griff Rhys Jones chairs a spoof TV debate between academic Mel Smith and social worker Pamela Stephenson, who discuss their preferred tactics to be employed against football hooligans (the bete noire moral panic of the day). Our Pamela (community worker from the borough of Lambeth) proposes: “I know these kids, I’ve worked in the areas we’re talking about… I know their problems, I know their frustrations, lack of community facilities, lack of parents. And in my opinion, Professor Duff’s suggestion that we cut off their goolies… is the only solution!”

“When you come home from work and you’ve had a rubbish day, you can just look at things that bring you joy and happiness,” Nicola said. She started her business from her mum’s spare bedroom seven years ago, fuelled by a love for colourful decor and a mission to put affordable items on the market. “Through what you love, why not put that silliness on your wall? It’s an extension of your personality and will bring you joy,” she said. (BBC)
On the subject of Australia (ref GW above), unbelievable. Reality has struck with awful vengeance.
Breaking news at the time of writing. A Jewish event on Bondi Beach has become the scene of a mass shooting. Fatalities are reported.

How long will it take the BBC (or maybe ABC) to name them, and provide their ethnicity, religious beliefs, background, and hence motivation?
Will they have mental health issues? Or will they be described as intolerant anti-Semitic Islamic terrorists? Is it another triumph for diversity and multiculturalism?
Answers on postcards in red ink.

The steady drip-drip-drip of what is basically anti-semitism by swathes of the left-wing media in this country, coupled with the fanatical lunatic screaming of the Palestine Action mobs, means that a lot of these people now have actual blood on their hands.

Regarding the mass murder of (mainly) Jewish people who were celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach, the police and politicians have asked us “not to speculate”.

I watched ” Match of the day” on the BBC last night and
felt I was in a time warp ! Three indigenous MALE Brits
were the pundits in the studio !!
Interesting to read the online comments in the Guardian, Mark 2 i.e. The Sunday Times, a few minutes ago.
Free speech enabled for 5 minutes but surprise surprise, all comments are now disabled, the truth hurts doesn’t it!!
Please be fair to the BBC. So far as the Bondi Beach
collateral damage is concerned. Wait for the BBC to
get their facts from the Hamas health authority.
Yup.
I confidently predict the BBC will:
1) Only mention the terrorists briefly. And they will not be called terrorists.
2) Distract us all with as much victim empathy-porn as they can. Hopefully they will have some lovely backstories and lots of grieving children the BBC can exploit to distract us even further.
3) Drag up any other shootings in Australias history and explicitly mention they are far-Right. Coupled with no mention whatsoever about the motives for THIS shooting, it will make many readers assume this was by the far-Right as well.
Seen it dozens of times now. The BBC don’t give a shit who got shot : their main objective is to minimise the damage to Islam.
Assuming they were Muslims of course. I didn’t see it confirmed – but the reporting has all the hallmarks of delaying it until the first shock-wave has passed like they always do now.
“The BBC don’t give a shit who got shot” I bet they’re thrilled they were Jews.
I always thought the bbc was affectionately known as Auntie but it appears I am wrong.
I think the correct way is this, Anti British Broadcasting Corporation.
I was confusing Auntie with Anti.
When you remove the eu (EU) it becomes a bit clearer.

Funny old world where the ‘Church of England’ objects to anyone saying Christianity is the national religion.
Funny old world where Muslim Sadiq Khan fulminates about a Christian carol service calling its attendees ‘Far-Right’….apparently not just Jesus being resurrected but the long gone EDL as well…this of course the same Khan who was more than happy to let the supporters of terrorists Hamas march down the streets of London every week making it a no-go zone for Jews…but now apparently Muslims are terrified by a Carol Service…or was it a Nuremberg Rally?
Naturally the BBC takes sides and demands to know why Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, lol, is hijacking Christmas, weaponising Christianity with his far-right Christian nationalism that is divisive and stirring up so much hatred…it’s all so deeply political, so much flag-waving and hate.
Crawley, real name Creepy, on Sunday framed it from the start as far-right and political rather than just ask what the event was meant to represent or celebrate. Apparently if you believe in Britain, its values and beliefs you cannot be a Christian…never mind that those values and beliefs come from Christianity in the main.
‘David Cameron has used his Christmas message to stress that Britain is a “Christian country”.
In his most religious message to date, he said: “That is what we mark today as we celebrate the birth of God’s only son, Jesus Christ – the Prince of Peace.
“As a Christian country, we must remember what his birth represents: peace, mercy, goodwill and, above all, hope.
“I believe that we should also reflect on the fact that it is because of these important religious roots and Christian values that Britain has been such a successful home to people of all faiths and none.”‘
Maybe the ‘non-political’ CofE should give up their places in the House of Lords?
Curiously Crawley didn’t interview anyone from the Church to back up their claims about this carol service which is odd as it presents a very one-sided approach by the BBC given we know that there are questions about the CofE’s involvement in politics…hence this BBC article…
‘What is the role of bishops in UK politics?’
‘A Church Of England bishop led this week’s House of Lords defeat for the government over its plans to cap benefits given to families. But are clergymen an appropriate voice in Parliament for compassion and charity, or an anachronism with no right to override the opinions of elected MPs?’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16702806
Religion has always been politics…it was the foundational guide to life and maintaining order via its rules until ‘democracy’ came along….and even then it was always in the background still the basic foundation to the state and way of life….it is our State religion…hence the name…Church of England.
Amusing Crawley wheeled in Nick Spencer who is studying ‘Christian nationalism’….obviously intended to come on to crucify this carol service…buuut…he said there was ‘no politics at all’ that he saw….its focus was on Jesus.
Crawley tried to claim that Christian nationalism in the US was of course different, still evil but different as its proponents were always Christian…his meaning that Robinson and Co were not real Christians and were explotiing it for political advantage.
Shot down by Spencer who said…’No’.
Patently obvious Crawley had an agenda and a, very unChristian, message to push…just pumping out his own wordlview without bothering to do any homework or thinking.
Usual BBC Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, derangement syndrome.
When everyone knew which side was the enemy ….

“London chose me as their mayor, not just an ethnic minority, not just a religious minority, but a Londoner of Islamic faith.” – Sadiq Khan, {cnn.com sep2016}

– Being a good decision maker and being able to run a large city (5th Largest Economy) – not mentioned
– Very odd that Sadiq Khan’s London Manifesto 2016 does not mention voting for him because of his Islamic Faith? I might be wrong – but could not find a sentence saying ‘Vote for me because I believe in Allah’.
BBC – “Twelve killed in shooting targeting Jewish community at Australia’s Bondi Beach, police say”
I wonder how long before the BBC insist on telling us that “Islam is a religion of peace”
How ironic Khan celebrates St George’s Day and what it means to be English for the cameras….no doubt the BBC and the CofE will be raisnig hell about this hijacking of Englishness, not to mention the flag-waving divisiveness and hatred.
And here he is hijacking a Nuremberg Rally…
I fail to understand how the Capital City of the UK ended up with this as Mayor!
Compare and contrast
Twelve dead on Bondi Beach, killed at. Jewish festival.
On the same day as over 600 are reported to have arrived in the UK on rubberised cross channel ferries, assisted and enabled by our very own Border Farce.
They’re probably all peaceable Christian women and children fleeing persecution.
Or maybe not.
Celebrate diversity! Embrace multiculturalism!
Maybe the BBC could stalk Jezza Cor-bin, Sad Dick Khan, or any of those pro Gaza ‘independent’ MPs from such Anglo-Saxon heartlands as Bradford and Leicester and demand a statement from them about the Bondi Beach massacre.
That’s if they can free themselves up from obsessing about Tommy Robinson singing Christmas Carols. Have they been banned yet for inciting religious hatred?
I hope all the limpwristed far left politicians who have allowed the barabarians to invade the west are proud of themselves Won’t be long before their dream of turning western countries into the Middle East has been fullfilled. I expect that soon there will be plenty of arrests for posting nasty things about the barabarians on X or Facebook. Starmers police will be on full alert for “far right” criticism of illegal migrants
Im not even going to bother with the Bondi anti Semitic slaughter ( but piers Morgan -on x wondered why the BBC took over 1 hour to report it – I think I know why ….dont you ?)
Anyway
The BBC Licence Fee – from the DT – by David Epstein – who knows a lot about TV
STARTS The BBC regards “universality” as one of its core values. But what does it mean? It also argues that preserving “universality” makes it impossible for the BBC to move from licence fee funding to subscription funding. Is this the truth?
If you read the history of the early decades of the BBC, you will find no mention of “universality”, for obvious reasons. There was no obligation on the BBC to make its services universally available, for the simple reason that it was impossible to do so.
Service availability was driven by technical issues: radio (and later, television) signals depended on transmitters, whose reach was inevitably limited. It could take years for a nominally national service to reach even 90 per cent of the population, with further reach into sparsely populated areas disproportionately expensive.
For decades, this gap in reach was unimportant. If you could not receive the signal, you simply did not pay a radio or TV licence fee, which was in effect a voluntary subscription. As the BBC was the only supplier of domestic radio and TV output, the licence fee was in practice a subscription mechanism.
All that changed in 1955. The creation of ITV added a series of regional TV stations, which also combined to offer a national service. But to watch ITV, you still had to pay a licence fee. The benefit accrued solely to the BBC. Without having to raise a finger, the BBC prospered mightily from ITV’s popularity (ironically, the BBC had long and furiously opposed the breaching of its monopoly).
The licence fee was no longer a payment for BBC output – it was a condition of owning a radio or a TV set, enforceable by the criminal law. And now the BBC used its enhanced fire-power to launch new services, some of which were never intended to be “universal” – such as regional TV and local radio. The most important of its new endeavours, BBC2, took many years even to reach 90 per cent coverage.
BBC2 was the first service to be offered in colour. To watch it legally now required a more expensive colour licence fee – effectively, a BBC2 supplement, which temporarily took the BBC back from being a “universal” supplier to being effectively a subscription service.
This seemed logical, and even politically acceptable, and when the BBC decided to launch new digital TV services, a report on the proposal chaired by the prominent Labour-supporting economist Gavyn Davies recommended a further supplement to be paid by those upgrading their equipment to receive the new channels.
But opposition from Sky and ITV (which was planning its own pay-TV service) persuaded the Blair government to require the BBC to provide these channels free-to-air, funded by a licence fee increase payable by all TV viewers, whether or not they could even receive the digital signals. The only “universality” was the obligation to pay.
The separate radio licence fee has long been abandoned as disproportionately expensive to collect. But now the TV licence fee is coming under growing pressure, as more and more households abandon watching live television in favour of downloading streamed content (which is exempt from the licensing system).
Furthermore, since the Covid epidemic, licence fee enforcement has become much more difficult. Prosecution numbers have tumbled, evasion has soared, whilst the cost of managing the system has steadily risen.
The contradictions at the heart of the conceit of “universality” are now clearly visible. All sorts of BBC content is paid for by your licence fee, whether or not you can receive it (most obviously, you need a suitable device and a broadband subscription to make use of the BBC’s costly online provision). Meanwhile, whether you have paid for a TV licence or not, all BBC radio services are freely available.
Consumer behaviour is inexorably moving away from live viewing of broadcast output to streaming of content. Younger viewers watch very little live television. All new TVs are now internet-compatible. Every year, hundreds of thousands of households cancel their TV licences, and hundreds of thousands more simply stop paying, irrespective of legal obligation.
The BBC claims that its 229 enforcers make 2 million home visits every year. This implies that each one visits five suspected evading households per hour: a number that is hard to credit.
The BBC argues that until every household is physically capable of decoding encrypted TV signals, reverting to a subscription mechanism would undermine the “principle of universality”. In practice, the great majority of homes already use subscription services, or have access to the technical capacity to do so. The remainder could – if they wished – be upgraded relatively cheaply and quickly.
And those who chose not to upgrade, or subscribe, would no longer have any legal obligation to fund the BBC, if it reverted to subscription. What could be fairer?
Nearly 20 years ago, hundreds of millions of pounds of licence fee income was spent to upgrade analogue TV homes so as to receive digital terrestrial signals. Soon, these too will have become redundant, and the spectrum used to transmit them will be re-deployed for mobile telephony.
Consumers who choose to invest in the necessary equipment and broadband provision will then be able to choose from an array of downloadable BBC services, once they are made available. As with Netflix, Amazon Prime and the like, provision would be universal. Choice would be the trigger.
The BBC could also choose to join this rational world. But first it must bury its mythsENDS
Amazing how the BBC doesn’t speculate at all on the identity of the shooters or their motivation despite…
‘He says the attack was “designed to target Sydney’s Jewish community”. ‘
We can readliy speculate…Gaza…driven by a media that has pumped out an endless stream of anti-‘Israel’ black propaganda feeding into the anti-Semitic frenzy that has grown and grown around the world….resulting in this shooting…and so many other attacks.
No pictures of the shooters either…though available….
Shooting at mosques in New Zealand….BBC’s first report…
‘Forty-nine people have been killed and 48 wounded in shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in the nation’s deadliest attack.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern described it as a terrorist attack and one of New Zealand’s “darkest days”.
A gunman identifying himself as an Australian live-streamed the rampage at Al Noor mosque to Facebook. He had espoused racist, anti-immigrant views. ‘

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12/14/the-attack-on-australian-jews-was-grimly-inevitable/
‘There was an air of inevitability about it. Nobody knows when or where the next antisemitic outrage will emerge, but with every fake post about Israel killing babies, with every biased BBC report whipping up the animus of viewers, with every chant of “globalise the intifada” on university campuses, death comes one step closer.
One thinks of Jihad Al-Shamie, the Manchester synagogue attacker; as he embarked on his rampage, he reportedly yelled, “this is what they get for killing our children.” There is a reason why Hamas, which has always been fighting to win the propaganda war rather than the shooting one, has done all it can to persuade the world that most Palestinian casualties are “women and children”, that what we have been witnessing was not a war but a “genocide” targeting the innocent.
In striving to defeat Israel, they are striving to defeat the West. And in swallowing their disinformation and spreading it, useful idiots are doing the work of their own destruction. Truly, we have our own blood on our hands.’
The telegraph stands almost alone as the UK news media voice of truth and reason. It makes most of the other UK media including not least the BBC look like mindless tunnel-vision activists.

Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust has been told to shut the clinic by spring after it was criticised in an independent review.
Instead, new regional centres will be set up to “ensure the holistic needs” of patients are fully met, the NHS said.

Closed (BIG OFFICE) = new regional centres (OPENED SMALLER OFFICES) … It’s like a Greek Hydra!
It’s not only Jews they hate…
In Germany five men have been arrested suspected of being involved in a plot to drive a vehicle into people at a Christmas market…three Moroccans, an Egyptian and a Syrian. Quelle surprise.
Close to me is the lovely and rather quaint little market town of Dorking. I would describe it as being quintessentially English. Each year they have a lovely traditional Christmas market. Families ambling about the stalls, lots of Christmas trees, mulled wine, minced pies and trinkets. Last year’s event was slightly different…
There were machine gun toting police wandering among the Christmas throng. I remember standing in a group singing carols, “Hark the Herald Angel Sings” and two of these blokes ambled past. It was really quite incongruous and rather chilling.
When questioned the authorities blatantly lied and told us, “Oh no, this isn’t a new thing, we do this every year.” Nobody that regularly attends this event has ever witnessed this before.
Pretty soon bollards and machine gun wielding police will be as ubiquitous at Christmas markets as mince pies and carols.
This isn’t the Britain I was born into…
What you mean is, they’ll ban Christmas markets so as to lessen the temptation for terrorist attacks. Because they have to be pandered to and obeyed.

‘The news from Bondi beach is grim.
For many it will have terrible echoes of the massacres on October 7th.
For Jews living here it will feel painfully close to the murders at a synagogue in Manchester.
It is a reminder – if one was needed – that Jews all over the world now live in fear.
If you struggle to understand that fear – you may not have any Jewish family or friends as it is a very small community – I urge you to think of the impact on the Muslim and, indeed, the wider community of the Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand…..Many will be worrying about what might happen next. ‘
What does that last line mean? Oh yeah..the usual BBC line about Muslims being the real victims and we must watch out for the angry White backlash…that never comes.

BBC still not naming names despite at least one of the alleged shooters being named some time ago…Naveed Akram.
The BBC are keen for you to know this though…
‘Australian Muslim groups condemn attack’
Wonder why Muslims are making such statements?
And of course the BBC isn’t too eager to mention a single possible motivation other than it being ‘anti-Semitic’….but who and why?…and what and who helped ferment that hate?
The BBC is always quick to blame far-right ‘social media’ when Muslims are attacked….but social media is apparently not a concern just now….maybe it was the MSM like the BBC? or maybe Islamic centres, Mosques and ‘influencers’?
No attempt by the BBC to look deeper into this and ask what encouraged these people to do this….other media outlets have plenty of such questions but not our national broadcaster….maybe it will in future or maybe it will be down to mental health and another ‘senseless tragedy devoid of deeper meaning’.
‘ ‘The alleged murderer was clearly a Muslim, but there is very little to suggest that he adhered to a hard-line interpretation of his religion or that he had political or religious motives.
Still, searching for patterns and for answers is part of what it is to be human. I loathe cliche, but perhaps, for once, this is a “senseless tragedy”, devoid of deeper meaning.’’
Of course if your reporting makes you a target then you might not be too keen to tell it as it is in regard to one religion/ideology…
‘ Mr Thompson said: ‘Without question, “I complain in the strongest possible terms”, is different from, “I complain in the strongest possible terms and I am loading my AK47 as I write”. This definitely raises the stakes.’’
“Ajit Atwal, a Derby councillor & new mayor, he’s previously been embroiled in controversy for a 2014 photo of him holding an AK-47 while on holiday in India, which led to his dismissal as a magistrate and significant backlash due to the weapon’s illegality in the UK.”

OUR THOUGHTS GO OUT TO THOSE INVOLVED…….? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN…..
I suspect most people never gave a thought to the Jewish population of Australia or Sydney….they mind their own business , work hard , behave themselves not involved in crime, just generally fit in and are normal decent people.
So some the Media reaction to this latest vile act at Bondi today is perhaps curious.
Men from Sydney involved??? Really, a bit more information maybe…perhaps a lone wolf, not this time, more like a pack.
Concern for other groups, guess who, are we invited to think an attack on anybody in retaliation is remotely possible?
Mayor Khan in London says, he will step up security in Jewish parts of London…why , what does he know?
I would like to know, when he says his thoughts go out to Jews in Australia , just what those thoughts are?
I wish somebody would shove a microphone in his face and enquire…so much more interesting than asking about playground name calling 50 years ago.
BBC never stops the vomit-inducing spin. Jews attacked & murdered AGAIN on one of their holidays. so naturally we should think of Muslims?
Nick Robinson tried to camouflage the latest Jihad terror attack on Jews with a mammoth false equivalence.
Nick Robinson – “It is a reminder – if one was needed – that Jews all over the world now live in fear.
If you struggle to understand that fear – you may not have any Jewish family or friends as it is a very small community – I urge you to think of the impact on the Muslim and, indeed, the wider community of the Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand.”
No one with a functioning moral compass could think this way.

Plenty of dinghies available.
Sadiq Khan…cares so much….spent a lot of time carefully crafting this wonderful, sympathetic expression of his feeling for his Jewish constituents…
‘My thoughts and condolences – along with the rest of London – are with everyone affected by the horrific attack at Bondi Beach, Australia today.
The Met Police are increasing their visibility in our Jewish communities ahead of any Chanukah events.’
One of his staff finds time to post this….from the Met Police….which is far more sympathetic than the Mayor’s minimalist comment…

Watching that far left PM of Australia using mealy mouthed words about the barabric massacre he comes across as an almost replica of Starmer.
The BBC, Labour and most of the EU “leaders” are complicit in this frenzied anti-semitism. The only leader with any backbone to call it what is is Trump.
Well said, Jonathan, I was thinking similar just now…
This disgraceful Labour apology for a ‘government’ is driving the UK into the ground, all in the faith of a failed socialist ’cause’. They’re also driving British Citizens into the ground with their frenzied, manic dogma, developed from the maniacal Blair/Brown years, and now hugged by the spineless Starmer, and his useless bunch of little, clueless people.
Starmer is now shown as completely incapable of any style of leadership, with his crass wafflings on the horrors in Australia, and his total ineptitude in realising the threat to both the Jewish People here, and also the rest of us, who still have to pay the price for his shameful conduct! We are being inundated with a race of people who hate us – you are so stupid, you just don’t realise how bad the situation is!
For God’s sake man, call a General Election, and leave by the back door, as you’re too far in trouble to be able to ‘lawyer’ your way out of this catastrophe in the UK! There are so many better men than you who can start to rebuild this country.
Go on, FUCK OFF…
I might be going made – I copied this from our Islamic Home Secretary …
“Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the measures will help to “bear down on abusers, stopping them in their tracks. Rapists, sex offenders and abusers will have nowhere to hide.””

I go to same article couple of hours later and the word “hide” has been removed from the BBC article?

……………………….. IS IT BECAUSE HIDE CAN BE LINKED TO ………
The Prophecy: The Hour (End Times) will not come until Muslims fight the Jews and kill them.
The Concealment: During this conflict, the Jews will hide behind stones and trees.
The Revelation: The stones and trees will supernaturally speak to the Muslims, saying: “O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew hiding behind me; come and kill him”.

Invade Saudi so LGBTQ can marching the streets and Jimmy Carr can tell Islamic jokes about Mohammed and not lose his head …ops!
It’s bad enough having an islamist as ‘mare’ of London, but also one who is in the ‘home’ office, (for Indigenous British Citizens – I fear not), is just laughable.
Starmer’s spineless weakness is exposed in everything he smears with his dead hands…

Manchester Arena Inquiry: Security ‘did not approach bomber over racism fears’ Published 27 October 2020

“On Saturday, a Labour MP who backs Mr Burnham said: ‘It’s happening. We are on the brink of securing a seat which is likely to come free shortly and where the polls say Andy would beat Reform.'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15381525/Starmer-Andy-Burnham-coup-plot-arch-rival-Commons-seat-challenge.html
The arrogance of these Labour MPs is unbelievable. I wonder what the people in the “seat which is likely to come free shortly” think about a career politician who takes their votes for granted.
Would laugh long and hard if Reform won ‘Burnham’s seat’.
Pug – I think that is one of the ‘issues ‘ burnham is having to get his head around . Where can he get a seat so safe that there will be a guaranteed Marxist win ?
Maybe to get power he has to pretend not to be a Labour Marxists and disavow the the party he is plotting to lead .
Would the greens stand aside ? Would the vermin liberals ?would the blues allow Reform to fight it straight with a really popular figure ?
The plots around TTK seem to grow by the week . They are only of interest – of course – if they can lead to an election sooner than 2029 – otherwise the Marxists can burn in their own fire …
Can’t see any comments from Deborah. But before Fed changes to a new week, huge condolences Debs. I don’t personally know anyone of the Jewish faith – so I’m sending my thoughts to you..
