    Maybe I will go first. The BBC are dreadful. President Trump hating, Israel hating, believing everything Hamas tell them, hating Reform and Nigel Farage. Defund the BBC! The BBC are greedy for money, incapable of selecting a new Director-General. As an example of BBC greed they cannot stick to an iPlayer arrangement and think that cancelling the existing iPlayer arrangement in 2016 will mean that people will go out and buy TV Licences. The opposite has been true. The BBC’s viewing figures for last Christmas were disastrous! People are noting the bias and turning away from the BBC in ever growing numbers! Defund the BBC!

      And don’t you deserve it Snuffy!

      A belated Happy New Year to you!

      When Very-Iffy get back from their very long Christmas holidays, (generously included in the TV tax), and as they monitor this site regularly, can they fnd out which supermarkets are kow-towing to the latest ‘green’ issues, like packaging, suppliers, Halal nonsense for foreigners, size of cabbages (too big for the shelves of one big name…), and all the other tosh that we’re being charged for?

      My latest spreadsheet, (you really are an insufferable nerd Scrobs – Ed), shows that for just a few quid a month more, I can shop at my local farm shop, and get locally produced meat, bacon, eggs, milk, bread etc, and it’s only had to travel a few miles! Local farmers getting a just income? Not what TTK wants, but it’s what I want…

      Surely this must be a paradise for lefties everywhere – less petrol and diesel on deliveries, local employment, fewer shopping visits – the list is endless!

      C’mon you lefties in La-la Beeboid land, show us what we’re doing wrong?

      (As a Harvey’s /Shepherd Neame consumer, their beer is commonplace here, as it’s local to the South East. I can easily cut out a couple of bottles a month to save the small businesses in my adopted Counties, so Cubiclists can ‘exist’ in their ghastly metropolitan squalour…)

      But if I have to go to the supermarkets, I’d like to know if my diminishing pension is being p****d up the wall just to suit lefties in Mohammed  Street…

      Can I trust the bBC to look into this? It’s dark outside, so maybe the pigs are’nt flying tonight…

    Intelligence shared edition – in which “moribund” is your word of the day

    BBC Economics editor, Faisal Islam, seems to forget that Keir Starmer is a dyed-in-the-wool invetorate Remainer: What’s behind PM’s notable shift on closer ties to Europe? – perhaps our Faisal thinks we’ve forgotten?

    There’s an old gag about a politician and his principles – “You don’t like my unshakable heartfelt political principles that I hold dear? Well, look here I’ve got some other different ones for you!”

    That’s our Keir – up to a point. But on issues like the EU he’s an absolute ideologue.

    You didn’t like the Referendum result, here have another one.

    Sir Keir told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme… A new referendum on a final Brexit deal should be “on the table”, shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer has said… When asked whether he thought there should be a public vote on the final Brexit deal, Sir Keir said: “I do think there needs to be a democratic check, I don’t think the prime minister can simply decide for herself what the future of this country looks like.” (BBC, 2018)

    Run that one by me again Keir… I don’t think the prime minister can simply decide for herself what the future of this country looks like?

    The phrase “very interesting but stupid” is a well-known catchphrase from the classic late 1960s American sketch comedy show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-I (there’s one for the teenagers – with an interest in vintage Americana)

    Our Faisal cares nothing for English culture, English exceptionalism or for our local democratic rights – and nor does our Sir Keir, they’re all about: … a message to business, to Brussels and to other European capitals, as well as his backbenchers. (BBC)

    It’s the stupid insipid economy, stupid

    Although you really wouldn’t really think the ecomony mattered at all from the frontpage of this morning’s globalist Financial Times – they’ve gone completely Caracas over Trump’s policy on Venezuela.

    Meanwhile, in our own backyard: Unemployment alert… 11-year high as a “moribund” economy will need interest rate cuts to stimulate growth and offset tax rises, economists have told The Times

    Try not to think about the sort of concessions Brussels would demand from the Yookay in return for easing those trade and travel restrictions they put on us as retaliation punishment for daring to leave their club. New cash contributions to Brussels paid for by British taxpayers – to make the big corporations happy: The British Chambers of Commerce last month published a list of further requests in other sectors to help exporters deal with post-Brexit red tape that has hit the trade of goods. (BBC)

    For example: A plan for UK manufacturers to be part of the €150bn (£131bn) Security Action For Europe defence loan fund has stalled over the size of the membership fee, after some objections from France. (BBC)

    Of course our Faisal can’t bring himself to admit Brussels bureaucrats are grifters and our so-called friends in Europe always act in their own best interests – not ours. Our own globalist fabian oikophobes, such as Sir Keir, tend not to concern themselves over such details.

    Sometimes I wonder whether newspaper editors read their own frontpages as a finished product? They do tend to miss those awkward little juxtapositions of features that belie the narratives.

    The Independent editor may still be on leave or alternatively take the excuse that his left-leaning rag is virtual online-only. There’s no proudly brandishing a hot-off-the-press copy for final revision there. Just a quick squint at the computer screen version. It’s only in the BBC’s otherwise print press line-up under some special dispensation.

    Starmer says leadership challenge would be gift for Farage – frets the TV news chyron-like text banner at the top of the page – and directly beneath we read in the female-friendly feature teaser: Lydia Spencer-Elliott Why rebranding yourself is the most toxic way to start the new year (Independent)

    Have you noticed this childlike belief in official circles that computers can solve our every problem? Since the PM suggested Britain will become an A.I. superpower (didn’t we think we were going to be a Green Energy superpower?) the regime aparatchiks are excited like 1950s teenaged sci-fi comic adicts – thinking we’ll all soon have flying cars, robot butlers, personal jet packs and vacationing on Venus…

    RoboCop was a 1987 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven… Set in a crime-ridden Detroit in the near future, RoboCop centers on police officer… who is murdered by a gang of criminals and revived by the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products as the cyborg law enforcer – thank you Wiki

    AI ‘may aid rape trials’… a police chief believes… Using artificial intelligence in recorded interviews with victims could strengthen rape investigations (Times) – blimey, interview under caution by computer? Next thing you know they’ll be doing away with trial by jury.

    Coming to a council house near you? Ayatollah ‘could flee’… has a plan to flee the country should his security forces fail to suppress protests, according to intelligence shared with The Times – I jest of course, he won’t seek asylum in the UK – ayatollahs tend to prefer Paris.

    In further deep state ‘intelligence shared’: Neo-Nazis’ recruitment drive before ‘race war’ (Telegraph) – what precisely is a ‘neo-nazi’?

    Do they want to overturn some new Treaty of Versailles we haven’t heard about? Do they want another go at capturing Lebensraum in Russia? (careful now)

    A violent neo-Nazi group has launched a recruitment campaign…The Telegraph can reveal… – Scary! Violent! It’s just like that Netflix documentary Adolescence has come to life! Bring back National Service – oh, wait a minute… won’t that mean sending young chaps to some camp and teaching them how to do violence against the government’s political enemies? More of that later.

    Vanguard Britannica… – I’ve heard of Encyclopaedia Britannica (there’s one for the teenagers) – don’t laugh, this is supposed to be serious stuff.

    Vanguard Britannica has been holding fighting camps and carrying out combat training to ready its members for political violence – Encyclopaedia Britannica only used to go door-to-door selling their books. I jest of course. Are we sure this isn’t just some young blokes LARPing at the odd paintball weekend?

    The group, was founded in 2022 as a small band of far-Right extremists… – yep, I’m guessing three bored teenaged blokes into their heavy metal rock, one reluctant girlfriend and about half-a-dozen undercover cops egging them on and reporting back to base.

    …but has since grown through alliances with white supremacist movements in the UK and across the US – all boxes ticked there then.

        FRSO
        Freedom Road Socialist Organisation
        Here is what Wikipedia have to say about them

        The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) is a communist political party in the United States. FRSO formed in 1985 as a merger of several Maoist-oriented New Communist movement organizations.

        FRSO describes itself as a revolutionary socialist and Marxist-Leninist party, because capitalism “cannot be reformed out of existence”, so socialists must “take the sledgehammer of revolution to the chains of oppression”. FRSO describes itself as a Marxist–Leninist organization, working to “build a new, revolutionary, communist party” in the United States.

      NOTE: the above statement is not an extreme or radical viewpoint. Secretly they ALL believe that, in fact they’re COMMANDED to believe that.

      It’s a supremacist, expansionist, militant cult.

      “We did not come here to coexist. We are superior to everyone else and will not be surpassed. No one is above us. If other religions want to live with us, they have to worship Allah.”

      From The Religion Of Peace website:

      Muslims are told to fight unbelievers until they are either dead, converted to Islam, or in a permanent state of subjugation under Muslim domination. Allowing people of other faiths to live and worship independently of Islamic rule is not an option.

    The reaction of the legacy media to the abduction of Maduro is much more amusing than any of their offerings over the festive period. It’s marvellous to watch the Globalist stooges realising that Trump has struck another great blow at their oppressive world order . You can see the dawning realisation on their faces thatthe game is up and that Trump is leading the revival of Nation states across the world and has the support of ordinary people.

      IMHO the ‘resources’ are now a very large carrot on the stick, but if Biden and the EU had not been intent on calling Russia’s bluff to bring Ukraine into NATO via the puppet Zelensky, the war would not have started.

      They knew it was a Russian red-line before they did it. Same as Cuba.

    Agreed re Venezuela Double. it is really a nice strike at the enemies of Western civilisation. It is great to hear the outrage from the Left.

    They weren’t so concerned in 2023 when Venezuela started making moves to annex the Essequibo region of Guyana. (Formerly British Guiana). This was a claim to two thirds of Guyana’s land! The Venezuelans were laying the groundwork for a military takeover in order to exploit the newly found oil wealth that has been found!
    Where were the weeping Leftards over this? A blatant case of stealing oil from another country by a loud mouthed dictator.
    But no outrage forthcoming.

    What does worry me, Double, is Trumps obsession with annexing
    Greenland from Denmark. He will lose my support for that (not that that will worry him) My concern is he might well turn many in the European populist right against him and strengthen the Globalists. I hope wiser heads in the Republican party will prevail.
    My fear is Trump has forgotten the meaning of the word ‘hubris’.

      Referendum and Exit: After gaining home rule from Denmark in 1979, Greenland held a consultative referendum on February 23, 1982.

The withdrawal was formalized by the Greenland Treaty and became effective on January 1, 1985.

    For the lefties that support Denmark’s colonisation of Greenland and decry Trump. Denmark has a long history of abuse and ill treatment of the original Inuit population of Greenland. Make no mistake, Greenland is a Danish colony and there is a good argument for Greenland independence.

    Eva Schloss, Anne Franck’s step sister! has died. The BBC this morning on the Today programme managed to report her death without mentioning she was Jewish or the Holocaust. The excuse of the Left is maybe they didn’t mention Eva’s religion because they usually don’t mention someone’s religion in a news report. Eva had spent her life working for something because of her family’s religion.

    Kier did indeed sneak into Reading today.

    Looks like to wants to renationalise the railways (where’s the money coming from ?)

    Plus he was hard up, even though his father owner the tool factory. (we believe you, honestly)

    Keir Starmer visited Reading to set out action to tackle the cost of living, including a major rail ticket sale offering millions of discounted journeys across Britain.

    The Great British Rail Sale, which starts on January 6, includes nearly four million tickets at more than 50 per cent off for travel between January 13 and March 25, 2026.

    The scheme offers significant savings for Berkshire residents travelling from Reading to destinations across the UK, such as Aberdeen, Newcastle and Edinburgh.

    he Prime Minister said: “Everyone knows that groan when the price of your train ticket goes up again – a chunk out the paypackets of hard-working people.

    “That’s why we’re freezing fares and unlocking millions of bargain tickets, so more money stays in people’s pockets.

    “It’s good news for Berkshire’s high streets and local businesses too – affordable public transport brings in customers and helps families enjoy time together.

    “Growing up, our family couldn’t always make ends meet.

    “I know every pound matters, and this year I am going further to tackle the cost of living and bring down costs for families.”

    The ticket sale is part of the Government’s broader efforts to tackle living costs, which also include cheaper childcare, energy bill support, and a freeze on regulated rail fares – the first in 30 years.

    The fare freeze applies to season tickets and commuter returns, saving passengers £600 million in 2026/27 compared to last year.

    For regular commuters, the freeze means that an annual season ticket holder travelling from Reading to London will save £340 per year.

    Last year’s rail sale saw more than one million discounted tickets sold, saving travellers an average of £8 per journey and generating £9 million in revenue for the rail industry.

    This year’s sale covers nearly all train operators.

    One-way tickets during the sale period include Aberdeen to Reading for £146 (down from £292), Newcastle to Reading for £123 (from £247), and Edinburgh to Reading for £123 (from £245).

    Shorter journeys are also included, with Oxford to Reading from £9.50, Reading to Southampton from £9.20, and Bournemouth to Reading from £10.80.

    Reading station is one of the UK’s busiest outside London, with around 13 million passenger entries and exits recorded in the most recent figures from the Office of Rail and Road.

    The Government has also allocated £9.4 million to improve local bus services, supporting further investment in greener travel options.

    Cheaper and more reliable public transport is expected to boost economic growth by supporting commuting, leisure travel, and town centre footfall.

    The Government has also confirmed plans to bring train operators, including Great Western Railway, into public ownership in a bid to reduce costs for passengers and improve value for money over the long term.

    I noticed the BBC report did not mention he was a teacher. So I asked AI : ‘which news outlets did not mention jonathan carley was a teacher in their article about his court case’

    The result was:

    The BBC
    The Guardian

    Neither mention it. Coincidence ? – or because they are covering up what weirdos teachers are in general. And they themselves either were or wanted to be teachers – another occupation where they can spread their leftist ideology whilst doing very little at the taxpayers expense in a job for life.

    It also said ‘Daily Mail’ which was totally wrong. They say it in the first sentence.

    Or are they ‘doing the honourable thing’ and relying only on ‘sustainable energy’, and keeping warm in their mud huts wearing animals skins – or their vegan-approved alternatives.

      From 11:00 on Radio 4 today there was one of the most biased programmes I’ve ever heard – which is saying something, given the BBC’s output! The title was questioning the idea of “progress” and there is another part next week. “Progress” is bad for the environment, you see.

      I can’t recall a single opposing view being aired, despite listening to most of it closely. It was wall-to-wall Armageddon. Behind all the catastrophism was a mention of the Club of Rome and the idea that … wait for it … individual countries can’t be trusted over action to protect the planet – so there!

      One laughably crude feature of this half hour of biased “green” propaganda was its tiresome use of alliteration. Speaker after speaker went through “variations on a theme” starting from Climate Change. Well, ok, they both begin with ‘c’ even if not alliterative.

      First there was Climate Crisis: “change”, maybe, but “crisis”? Really?! And, are our CO2 emissions a significant cause of this anyway?

      Then there was Climate Catastrophe, raising the level of fear.

      We even had Climate Cataclysm towards the end.

      I don’t recall Climate Crunch but maybe that’s saved for next time.

      The lack of any balance was an outrage. No attempt to set warming in any context such as the Medieval Warm Period up to 1250 or global cooling from roughly 1300 to after 1800. No mention of the role of solar variability, volcanoes or changes in ocean current patterns.

      The public should never again be forced to pay for this bias!

    I’ve jut been listening to Times Radio and concluded that they have either gone bonkers or , more likely , are trying to whip more anti Trump hysteria amongst their Globalist listeners.
    After droning about a Venezuela being a flagrant breach of international law and US under Trump becoming a rogue state they moved on to Greenland and Denmark.They declared that if the US invaded Denmark , not Greenland, but Denmark Britain would have to go Denmark’s aide.
    They really seem, or at least pretend ,to believe that President Trump might go mad and invade one or other of these places.Surely not even the most stupid of their listeners could possibly believe this to be even a remote possibility. It just makes Times Radio look ridiculous .
    Perhaps we are seeing the TimesRadio presenters entering the terminal stage of TDS when incoherence and foaming take over followed swiftly by death.

    I think proof that President Trump struck a deal with Maduro to spill the beans on the Smartmatic voter fraud is that he was flown to USS Iwo Jima, for transport to the United States Court of Military Commissions, at the Guantánamo Bay detention camp, in the US occupied zone of Cuba. However, Trump is now sending him to face a friendly left-wing anti-Trump judge in New York, were the trial can be public and open to full publicity. Maduro will be questioned, and his answers can name and blame Obama and John Brennan.

    ChatGPT: What is known about Operation Talla?

    Operation Talla was the United Kingdom’s national pandemic policing operation, led and coordinated by the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and the National Police Coordination Centre (NPoCC) to manage police activity across all UK Police forces.

    Operation Talla was complementary to military covid/vaccine operations such as domestic MI5 Operation Rescript and overseas MI6 Operation Broadshare.

    Operations Talla, Rescript and Broadshare were designed to prevent the British people from making serious allegations of crime by the authorities from being recorded or investigated by the police. Crimes such as the use of midazolam and morphine to murder old people, and the use of deadly vaccines to injure and murder half a million people, and to operate without clear auditability, accountability, or effective judicial oversight: https://ethicalapproach.co.uk/correspondence_to_POTUS_05012026_redacted.pdf

      Claude AI agrees but says these were military operations not intelligence ones:

      Operation Rescript was not an MI5 operation. It was the British military’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, involving up to 23,000 personnel within the COVID Support Force between 2020 and 2022 Essex Police. It was described as the UK’s biggest peacetime homeland military operation.

      Operation Broadshare was not an MI6 operation either. It was the parallel British military operation addressing the COVID-19 pandemic overseas, primarily in British Overseas Territories and overseas military bases Northyorkshire-pfcc. The two operations were named together, with Rescript focused within the United Kingdom while Broadshare focused overseas WhatDoTheyKnow.

      Both operations were military operations run by the Ministry of Defence,

    Woman felt ‘dehumanised’ after Musk’s Grok AI used to digitally remove her clothes
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98p1r4e6m8o

    Yet another headline deliberately designed by the spiteful BBC to discredit Musk and anything he owns.

    ‘Grok AI’ is absolutely irrlelevant. There are many apps which will do this. A fact shamefully not even pointed out in this hate-filled BBC article. Musk’s name appears FIVE times as if it is all directly his fault.

    Meanwhile earlier in December the BBC published this:
    ‘UK to ban deepfake AI ‘nudification’ apps’
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq8dp2y0z7wo

    And articles pointing out what a general problem this is are everywhere:
    From July:
    ‘AI Apps Are Undressing Women Without Consent And It’s A Problem’
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2025/07/28/ai-apps-are-undressing-women-without-consent-and-its-a-problem/

    Amazing how the BBC had nothing to say until they could use it against Musk.

    The BBC are like pathetic, spiteful children these days.

    As the BBC yet again defends Iran and presents it as a victim of Western aggression it extends that narrative to Venezuella as it blusters about the US now suddenly, under Trump, becoming a ‘rogue state’ or ‘going rogue’ and that the old cosy international order with its world institutions like the UN is being broken…by Trump….never mind the UN is a corrupt charade that has Russia and China on its security council voting on their own barbarisms.

    Not like any of this is new and unprecedented as the BBC is telling us it is….I mean…er…didn’t Russia invade Ukraine just a few years ago and is gradually pounding it into dust right now? How about Grenada, or Panama or Tibet or Crimea or Chechnya or Georgia or Argentina invading the Falklands etc etc etc? And of course how can the BBC forget the Iraq wars and Afghanistan?

    The BBC likes to spin a new narrative just because it’s Trump…like the ‘post-truth’ line that politics had suddenly lost its innocence and its honesty….as if there ever was a time when politics, and indeed journalism, was ever truthful….and of course this BBC line about a ‘post-truth era’ is itself one of those great big shining lies fabricated like so much of the BBC’s ‘news’ to attack Trump.

    When you look at what Trump has managed to do, from shutting the border, to shipping out millons of illegals, to taking direct action against, er, a rogue state, you can’t but wish we had some politicians here who would get a grip and take action and just say ‘eff the ECHR’…this is a national emergency and we’re going to defend ourselves against invasion and the destruction of our society, culture and civilisation.

    Farage? I don’t think he has the balls in reality…and in any case even if he were PM it would probably be in a coalition of some kind and thus unable to do anything radical.

    He should go all in and make the case for radical action as Trump did…it may improve his vote…otherwise there’s no point in Reform as it won’t reform anything…you can already see Farage slipping into appeasement mode with Muslims and on migration.

    All or nothing.

      The UN expressed their gratitude to China for making full payment to the UN’s regular budget. Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for Secretary General Antonio Guterres, said: “Xie Xie,” meaning “Thank you” in Chinese. He said China’s payment had brought the number of fully paid-up member States to 142. China made a payment of over $685 million.

      The spokesperson said the UN is currently under financial pressures, urging full payments from all member states. The US now owes the UN over $3 billion, according to records.

    Well…what on earth were we worried about…the system is in safe hands after all….20 days , you don’t get more immediate than that.

    Perhaps Dave Lammy could make a public announcement telling the escapees to see sense and go back to the Gaol. ” You know it makes sense”… Mr Barraclough from “Porridge ” would.
