    First

    Mr D tells me that Nick Robinson, I assume in a tweet, sent his thoughts to the Australian Jewish community and then compared it to the attack on the Muslim community a few years back. He didn’t need to do that, all he need to say was condolences to the Australian Jewish community. That is all he needed to have said.

    But he had to prove his non biased credentials. It is all part of the BBC mind set.

    The Prime Minister, just after news of the shootings came out, sent a message wishing everyone a happy Chanukah. I cannot stand the man and reading his ill timed message made me feel sick.

      excerpt from Nick Robinson’s tweet
      “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.

      excerpt from the follow-up tweet
      The comparison between today’s attack & the Christchurch mosque attack was meant to do that and that alone. It wasn’t an attempt to lessen the pain, fear and anger so many feel or to equate losses in one community with those in another.

    I am writing this as a separate comment. I understand Andy Burnham is poised to stand in a seat that has yet to become vacant, because he is sure he can win it and then take the yet to happen, vacancy for a prime minister. Has the BBC done any items on the news to inform the public what Andy Burnham believes in (other than Andy Burnham). When the BBC interviews him, do you think they will ask him about deaths in Staffordshire hospitals? They always asked Boris about cake.

      Good points, Debs, forget Toenails immediately, and check out the undesirables who are pushing Burnham to ‘stand’ – they’re all from the far-left, and he’ll flip-flop just as he aways has done! I wouldn’t trust him any more than Starmer.

      As Uppers says, Mid-Staffs is a millstone he’ll never escape from, but these lefties always wriggle and scream foul…

      Someone said on the radio this morning, that Crayons would be a good PM!

      God help us!

      The far-left bBC are becoming more and more irelevant these days, I don’t know anyone who believes a word they say, except for gawping at the glitter-trash they chuck around on Saturdays, when everyone couldn’t really give a hoot for what they yap, as long as there are loads of gormless tits and bums hanging around, screaming monosyllabic dross at their losing TV taxpayers…!

    Never before have so few, f**ked so much up, for so many. That is the current state of Ukraine and the cabal of retarded wannabe-Churchill’s cheerleading the destruction of a hapless people caught between greed and the false bravado of strangers.
    Behold the valiant man-lets and mean-girls of Europe, strutting around with their chests puffed out, waving the Ukrainian flag like it’s the latest fashion accessory from Milan. From Brussels to Berlin proclaiming their undying solidarity that the sacred borders of Ukraine must be defended at all costs.
    Yet whisper the word “borders” about their own nations and their bravado crumbles faster than a stale baguette. They’re brave enough to poke the bear from afar, but when it comes to defending their own
    borders, cultures, and traditions?
    Crickets.
    Western Europe today is in the final grotesque act of a civilization that has lost its mind, its money, and—most fatally—its manhood.
    Across the continent, the same tired cast of globalist flunkies yap about “European values” while demanding ever-larger blank checks for the bottomless pit called Ukraine. And they do all this while Kiev’s own generals and ministers are caught stuffing briefcases with money, buying Ferraris in Monaco, and installing gold-plated toilets in their dachas.
    Yet even as the scandals pile higher the call goes out that we must prepare for war
    with Russia! We must reinstate conscription! We must be ready to send our sons to die so that Lockheed Martin can post another record quarter and Ursula von der Leyen can keep her job.
    In France a general warned the nation to prepare to “lose its children” in a coming clash with Russia. Lose its children?
    For what exactly?
    So that the same regime that spent the last five years locking citizens in their homes, mandating experimental injections, and importing the Third World by the boatload can keep the eastern front supplied with fresh meat?
    This is not strategy. This is hysteria disguised as resolve, the death rattle of
    elites who have run out of ideas. They sense the game is almost up. That the only way to save their sorry hides from the wrath of their own citizens is to direct that wrath eastward.
    But was it Putin who locked people in their homes and forced experiment injections upon them?
    Was it Putin who sent their industrial capacity to faraway lands?
    Was it Putin who invited millions of foreigners hostile to European culture and values to invade?
    Was it Putin who degraded their prospects for financial independence, home ownership, and family?
    Was it Putin that denied the existence of Pakistani rape gangs and released convicted felons?
    Was it Putin that had grandmothers arrested for Facebook posts?
    Was it Putin who said no to every peace proposal of the past three years?
    Or was it someone else?
    And now, after three years of telling the European peoples that Russia was fighting with washing-machine chips and shovels, that victory was just one more $60 billion away, the lies and delusion have collided with reality: Russian flags farther west each week, and Ukrainian press-gangs dragging people off the streets because no one will volunteer to be turned into pink
    mist for Zelensky’s next villa.
    And now the ghouls of the EU say they want to raise an army. But after fifty years of lecturing young men that patriotism is fascism, that borders are immoral, that violence never solves anything – those same elites now demand those same young men march off to die for what, precisely?
    For the right of Blackrock to buy up Ukrainian land at a discount?
    For the “right” of biological men to dominate women’s sports, and drag-queen story hour?
    For the sacred project of turning London into Lahore, Stuttgart into Syria, and Kyiv into Karachi?
    For the golden toilets of Ukrainian oligarchs?
    No thanks. F**k you.
    Young men who have been told since kindergarten that they are the problem, are not going to be shamed or bribed or threatened into putting uniforms on so that Raytheon shareholders can buy another yacht.
    And they certainly aren’t going to do it for a Europe whose capitals now fly the rainbow flag higher than their own national colors, whose cathedrals have been turned into museums or mosques, and whose leaders speak of “European values” while importing millions who despise those values.
    Ukraine itself provides the proof. When it has to send roving death squads to kidnap its own citizens off the streets because the volunteer flow has dried up, that regime has already lost the only war that matters: the war for the loyalty of its own people.
    Western regimes are about to discover they lost that war decades ago.
    World War III, if it comes, will be fought in maternity wards and voting booths, through wombs and ballots, not bombs and bullets. Not with soldiers marching to defend their homeland—because their homeland, as a living reality, no longer exists.
    If the young men of Europa were to take up arms, they must aim upwards not abroad.
    At their true enemies. The fools who presume to rule over them. Not a war between nations, not a war between brothers, but of the many against the few.
    Unlikely? Yes. Somewhere between nil and zero. But perhaps the threat of revolution could stir a compromise. For after all there is a fresh supply of military-aged men that seems to renew itself with constant regularity.
    Who better to die for the Western values than the invaders who pretend to be European? Why risk a single native son when you can hand an AK-47 to the gentleman who arrived last month on a dinghy, give him a crash course in which way the rifle points, and ship him off to the Donbas with a heartfelt “Welcome to Europe—now go bleed for it”?
    It’s the ultimate progressive twofer: clear the migrant hostels, virtue-signal about Ukraine, and if the new recruits happen to get vaporized by a hypersonic missile, well… fewer integration problems back in Malmö.
    They can even spin the body bags as proof of successful inclusion: “Look, Ahmed from Aleppo gave his life for LGBT rights and female empowerment—he truly became European!” Never mind that the only Ukrainian phrase he ever learned was “where is free money?”
    Of course, the same politicians who called their own citizens “far-right extremists” for wanting border controls will now call those same citizens “cowards” for not volunteering to fight for someone else’s
    border.
    But why should Pierre or Hans enlist when there are hundreds of thousands of military-age guests who’ve been telling everyone how much they “love Europe” while living on benefits and occasionally burning a few cars for emphasis?
    If they love it so much, let them prove it the old-fashioned way: facedown in a frozen trench outside Kharkiv. After all, it’s only fair. Europe asked for open borders and replacement migration; now Europe can have open coffins and replacement casualties.
    The leaders get to keep their sons at climate conferences in Dubai while the new Europeans discover that “European values” apparently include dying for a
    continent that wouldn’t even give them a work permit. What a deal. Truly, the ultimate expression of solidarity: “We stood with Ukraine… by sending Mohammed to die for it.”

      I did enjoy the comment by Putin about Russia not having regard for britistan because it can’t stop a few dinghies ….
      …. He addressed us directly about governments wanting to fight but not the people ….
      Perhaps when the US finally gives up on Ukraine the Europeans will dial it down a bit as they run out of money to run a war ….

        After watching this interview, I have concluded that the thought processes of (“Far”) right wing members of the population is not too far from reality. Their guts can be trusted.

        A bit long but well worth watching to confirm what we all thought about, “The Davos Crowd”. Only comment? – no mention of the UN or, perhaps I missed it. Because they’re working hand in glove with the Davos Crowd.

Their latest tells us it was a ‘father and son’ that did the shooting…we have their ages, how many guns they had…but not that name….they know it because it gets a quick mention in this video….however the first thing the BBC is keen to get out there is the name of the man who stopped one of the shooters…Ahmed Al Ahmed…

    The BBC repeatedly and at length talks about the rise of anti-Semitism in Australia….not a mention of who or why.

    BBC….tumbleweed.

    Telegraph:

    ‘Naveed Akram, who remains in a critical condition, carried out the attack with his father, Sajid Akram, who was shot dead by police

    The mother of one of the Bondi Beach gunmen has insisted her son is “a good boy”.

    Naveed Akram and his father, Sajid Akram, have been identified as the attackers who opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, which killed 15 people.

    Sajid Akram, 50, who owns a fruit shop, died after being shot by police, while Naveed Akram, 24, remains in a critical condition in hospital.

    Their home in Bonnyrigg, 50 kilometres west of Bondi, was raided by police in the hours after the massacre, Australia’s worst ever terror attack.

    Speaking as officers surrounded their home, Naveed’s mother, Verena, said she could not believe he would carry out a terror attack and insisted he is a “good boy”.

    She told the Sydney Morning Herald: “He doesn’t have a firearm. He doesn’t even go out. He doesn’t mix around with friends. He doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t go to bad places … he goes to work, he comes home, he goes to exercise, and that’s it.

    “Anyone would wish to have a son like my son … he’s a good boy.”

    The father and son told their family they were away on a fishing trip in Jervis Bay over the weekend, 200km south of Sydney.

    Verena said she last spoke with Naveed on Sunday morning, hours before the attack.

    She said: “He rings me up [on Sunday] and said, Mum, I just went for a swim. I went scuba diving. We’re going … to eat now, and then this morning, and we’re going to stay home now because it’s very hot.”

    Social media posts from an Islamic centre in Australia show Naveed completed religious studies in 2022, raising questions about possible radicalisation and extremist networks operating in the country.

    Adam Ismail, the head of the Al-Murad Islamic Institute, where Naveed studied, declined to comment when contacted by The Telegraph.

    Naveed was laid off as a bricklayer when his company became insolvent and was looking for work in recent weeks.

    His mother said he had many friends as a teenager at Cabramatta High School, but was not especially social, preferring to spend his time fishing, scuba diving and swimming.

    Verena is a carer for her elderly mother and stay-at-home mother for Naveed and his younger sister, 22, and brother, 20.’

    Australia must strengthen gun laws after ‘evil’ Bondi Beach shooting kills 15, PM says
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckgk391yzm7t

    Just look at what the vile BBC have done here.

    They’ve picked out some random person who they claim was queueing to give blood and put his quote up as a front page headline article. What did he say ? :

    ‘”I don’t necessarily agree with what is happening overseas, but that doesn’t mean that you open fire on innocent people here,” he said. “They cannot justify [it] by saying there are dead children over there, so a… little girl should die here on the beach.”‘

    First I don’t believe for one second he was someone the BBC picked at random. They either kept on interviewing until someone said the right thing or they just made it up. All we are told about who said it is that he is ’52 year old Jim’.

    The BBC are actually trying to imply this attack is justified and the Jews deserved it. But of course this is as close as they dare go to saying it. Why aren;t they showing comments from people simply condemning these murderers as the barbaric terrorists they are ?.

    And of course th eonly time they use the word ‘Muslim’ is for this:

    ‘Muslim groups in Australia condemn Bondi attack’
    ‘”While this attack has targeted the Jewish community, it is in reality an attack on all of us, including the Muslim community. ‘

    So once again the BBC are telling us that Muslims are the victims here. I wonder how many in that Muslim community think – like the BBC – that those Jews deserved it it.

    And of course the BBC never use the words ‘Islam’, ‘Muslim’ or terrorist in their reporting of the people who did it. The only time the word ‘terrorist’ is used is when it is in a quote from world leaders and they know they cannot change it. Though they would if they thought they could get away with it.

    Today watch –

    Im listening out of duty to study the propaganda approach -so here goes –

    There has been no ‘press review ‘ which the BBC usually uses to select guardian type stories to pump the approved view …

    Second – there is an ‘atmosphere ‘ of guilt – with comrade Robinson – maybe there’s a little bit of guilt over the BBC s constant anti Israel – anti Jewish – narrative – with Islam as the constant victim …..

    Three – the Syrian who grabbed the gun is being ‘bigged up ‘ as the usual ‘hero’ to distract from the evil

    There is silence from the ‘Muslim community ‘ – no sign of condemnation – no reporting of the celebrations which took place in Birmingham on Sunday – the usual nonsense attempt to pretend ‘we are all in it together ‘

    A Hollywood director has been killed so they are big on that story … an easy distraction …

    You can feel that the BBC is desperate to move on from this mass murder and get back to the daily narrative of ‘Hamas is our friend ‘ and ‘evil Israel ‘ ….

    Repeat ….

    Oh yeah – the win of an election in chile by a trump supporting right wing regime gets no coverage ….

    The other distraction being used is a dumb idea to give babies library cards … it went on and on …

    And people with no self discipline who eat too much and get fat moaning about not getting some injection to lose weight so they can then eat more …..

    Until the BBC describe Hamas as a terrorist organisation it can have no legitimacy …

    Father and son who killed 15 people at Bondi Beach named, as PM pushes for tougher gun laws (BBC)

    Paramedic ‘sent flying’ in Liverpool parade attack (BBC) – perhaps we should ban cars? Come to think of it, we’re already doing that.

    Our news curators, who contrary to the words of Tina Turner, always need another Hero, must think it’s all their Christmases and Hanukkahs come together with this one – or should I say Jewish event (i paper)

    Well, think of it from the average journo’s point of view, these things are a tough gig to cover always avoiding the most obvious conclusions.

    So while we are delivered chapter and verse on the hero, name, age, occupation, religion even (good on yer, cobber, by the way) there’s one thing that isn’t obfuscated about the perpetrators: father and son terror attack (Express); a father 50, killed at the scene, and his son, 24, who is in critical condition (i paper); Police earlier confirmed the gunmen were father and son. (BBC)

    Who were they, you may well ask. Let’s list some of the possible dad and offspring suspects we’ve heard of:
    Steptoe and Son – there’s one for vintage TV fans.
    Dombey and Son – from the world of classic literature.
    Father and Son – no names, simply the relationship record title by Cat Stevens/Yusuf, careful now. He also did that one Matthew and Son

Some had already resigned over her leadership and there is an ongoing redundancy programme… Halima Begum, whose career includes stints at DFID and various activist charities, was voted out of her chief executive position unanimously by Oxfam’s board of trustees. She has held it since March 2024. It said of an external report conducted into her conduct:
    “The report’s findings have led the board to the conclusion that there is an irretrievable breakdown in its trust and confidence in Dr Begum’s ability to discharge the role of chief executive officer to the level required in Oxfam GB, and that her ongoing employment is untenable.”

    Begum was paid over £130,000 a year. Oxfam, which typically receives between 5-10% of its funding from the UK taxpayer, rakes in £368 million annually. ”

          At least 32 people, including two children, were killed and thousands more injured, many seriously, after communication devices, some used by the armed group Hezbollah, dramatically exploded across Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday.

          In the latest round of blasts on Wednesday, exploding walkie-talkies killed 20 and injured at least 450 people, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.

          The explosions occurred in the vicinity of a large crowd that had gathered for the funerals of four victims of Tuesday’s simultaneous pager blasts, which killed at least 12 people and injured nearly 3,000.

      Good point. Clearly the Oz guv is keeping out ‘dangerous’ extremists. I asked Claude AI who they have banned in the last 20 years:

      The Australian government uses Section 501 of the Migration Act (“character test”) to deny entry to people they deem may pose risks to the community. Here are some notable cases from the last 20 years:

      Novak Djokovic – January 15, 2022: Visa cancelled for failing to meet COVID-19 vaccination requirements for the Australian Open, resulting in a temporary three-year ban GrokipediaWorldpeacefull. The ban was lifted in November 2022.

      David Icke – February 20, 2019: Conspiracy theorist had his visa revoked just hours before boarding his flight to Australia Algemeiner. He was banned after Jewish groups campaigned against his arrival, citing concerns about Holocaust denial and antisemitic conspiracy theories

      Kent Heckenlively, Polly Tommey, and Suzanne Humphries – 2017: These anti-vaccination advocates were denied entry or banned for three years SBS. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton described those in the anti-vaxxer movement as “dangerous people” SBS.

      Chelsea Manning – 2018: Denied entry based on her criminal record from leaking classified military documents to WikiLeaks SBS.

      Mike Tyson – Initially banned in 2001 due to his 1992 rape conviction, but was later granted a six-day visa in 2012.

      Snoop Dogg – Denied entry in 2007 due to drug and firearms convictions, but the ban was lifted in 2008.

      Candace Owens – October 2024: Conservative commentator refused entry ahead of a national speaking tour.

      Kanye West (Ye) – 2025: Visa revoked after releasing a track with Nazi imagery and sampling a Nazi speech Insider Guides.

      Yes, good addition! Katie Hopkins – July 2021:
      The British far-right commentator was initially granted a visa to appear on Big Brother VIP, but had it cancelled after she boasted on Instagram about deliberately breaching COVID-19 hotel quarantine rules Wikipedia. She claimed she would answer her hotel door naked and maskless to frighten security guards Insider Guides.
      Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews stated Hopkins was “clearly not someone that we want to keep in this country for a second longer than we have to,” and she was fined AU$1,000 and deported Wikipedia.
      What made Hopkins’ case particularly controversial was that she was granted entry during strict border closures when approximately 35,000 Australians were stranded overseas SBS. The Australian Muslim Advocacy Network later challenged why she was granted a visa in the first place, given her history of racial vilification, including calling Syrian refugees “cockroaches” and calling for a “final solution” after the 2017 Manchester bombing Grokipedia.
      Muslim advocacy groups expressed concern that her visa was revoked for breaking quarantine rules rather than for her history of hate speech SBS, suggesting the government’s priorities were questionable.Claude is AI and can make mistakes. Please double-check cited sources.Want to be notified when Claude responds?Notify Sonnet 4.5

      Whether these bans were justified or “bogus” depends on one’s perspective on freedom of speech versus public safety concerns. The Australian government maintains these decisions protect community standards and safety.

          Like Tomo says, bBC Very Iffy could have a look for us – it sure makes a change from real work for the ‘team’ of well over eighty hard-working contributors to the public purse!

      My agency had a PR arm, which worked closely with the advertising side.

      Can’t overplay it, but one way to drive a decent public response if the client was game, on a low budget, was create a hoo haa, wait, then respond to the hoo haa, then see another hoo haa erupt. If it got out of control just say sawwwwwwy, like a Labour SpaD or BBC spokesweasel, and count the ££££.

      Now, if you were the management of a brand like Ms. Blue, and the Indonesian adventure had gone Tiz up, what political party would you choose to get every juvenile lefty basement Kleenex sub in the msm excited?

    As an example of crass insensivity, or more likely deliberate policy, you must admit it would be hard to beat.

    UNBELIEVABLE! This bloke, @bbcnickrobinson who made the murder of Jews by Muslims all about how awful it was for Muslims and I, like many hundreds of other people, called him out for it and called him a disgrace on public Twitter, has DM’d my to say this ‘I’m a disgrace. What does that make you Alastair?’. This guy is paid £400,000 a year of taxpayers money to read the news and he’s acting like a child and trying to do it privately by DM. I was right: he’s a disgrace.

    Comments, by any measure, are not necessarily working to Nick, or the BBC’s advantage.

    Der Starmer and his fellow feminazies are concerned beyond belief about the violence against vulnerable wimmin and girls.

    So they will be installing feminazi sturm-troopers in every police station to turbo-charge the smashing of happy-families and creating wimmin victims. This will be a bonaza for Der Starmers lawyer mates.

    P.S. they are not concerned at all by Bonnie Blue targeting vulnerable young men for sexual purposes and video exploitation.

    P.P.S. They are even less concerned about the grooming gangs – they will have the usual islamic pass.

    P.P.P.S And even less concerned about the murder of foetuses up to birth by their mothers.

    TTK is classic case of someone wanting to be a politician for politicians sake. Wants to play the part, swan round the world pretending his views matter to other world leaders, has no leadership or has no vision for our country. Wants some sort of coalition to protect any other countries borders, while we are being invaded every day. Guess he’ll stay in power though,as long as the dreadful bbc supports him and this useless government
