      Replacing a Muslim with another Muslim is “reform” in what universe?

          Make this sound like a good plan.

          Slogan…
          Vote Reform UK, when you want a different Muslim ruling over the English.

            My worry is that she is a lawyer. The UK has a terrible record of being led by lawyers.

            B. Liar and the little khant are just two examples of poor leadership and disastrous policies..

            I don’t agree. I’ve listened to this woman and find her really impressive. She’s a right handful…

            She’s a patriot, she’s going to be hard on law and order. She wants zero tolerance of shoplifting and a full investigation into the grooming gangs…unlike most of the white socialists opposing her.

            To be frank, I don’t care if she’s a Muslim, a Methodist or even a bloody Martian…she looks good and she sounds good.

            And if I lived in London I’d vote for her…

The sex more likely to die from cancer, heart disease and more? Men. I don’t think there are clearer signs of who we’re truly failing to support in society.

      Then again small beer when you look at the many billions in total we[are forced to] spend on migrants.

      I tried googling just one city:

      LGBTQI support center in Ely

      Ely has several support options for the LGBTQI+ community, primarily offered by the Cambridgeshire LGBTQ+ Centre (run by The Kite Trust) and Centre 33, which provide both in-person and remote assistance.

      That is a minimum of £150/year just to run those two centres in one city.

    Yesterday Starmer was in Paris. On YouTube I watched his arrival courtesy of GBNews. Every leader was driven up to the front door of the Elysee Palace, the limo door was opened and Macron went down the steps to greet the European leader, and they both climbed the steps and turned to the cameras.

    Starmer, apparently insisted on walking (actually slightly limping), across the snow covered ground. Had he walked from the embassy or asked the Arab Prius driver to drop him off at the corner? Later on the top of the hour news, Starmer was shown walking towards Macron and the viewers didn’t know everyone else arrived by car. Obviously someone from PR had thought Starmer walking in was a good photo opportunity. Everything to do with the optics and nothing to do with substance.

    I presume Starmer missing from Parliament as the statement from the Defence Monister was delivered is so if something goes wrong he can claim he, Starmer, didn’t know anything about it and nothing passed his desk.

    Funny how concerned the BBC is about a lefty woman shot by ICE as she drove at them, the BBC even invoking ‘George Floyd…unarmed blackman killed by police’ as it breathlessly reports on the latest ‘police murder’.

    How odd they showed absolutely no concern about unarmed Ashli Babbitt when she was shot climbing through a window in the Capitol Building Jan 6 by a police officer who was known to be violent and reckless with guns….why did he not face a political and media ‘lynch mob’ and be sentenced to 22 years in jail? [and Floyd wasn’t ‘killed by police’…he died of heart failure resisting arrest…being high on fentanyl and other substances]

    Guess some people it’s OK to murder and barely worth commenting on….on the other hand legitimate shootings by police of lefties or Blacks are instantly unjustified ‘murder’…and probably racist.

    BBC already rewriting history as Justin Webb on Today told us that ICE officers tried to open the door of a moving car which causeed it to lurch into the path of an officer who shot her….so it was their own fault.

    Not true in the slightest…the car was stationary, and deliberately parked to block ICE from doing their job, officers approached and started to open the door…only then did the driver accelerate forward directly at an officer who shot her…the driver was clearly attempting to escape regardless that an officer was in front of her car….thus she got shot.

      It seems that the bBC are just using all this as further TDS which they’ll have to apologise for eventually, but by then, there’ll be other stories connected to the same problem of illegal immigration which President Trump is intending to face up to.

      Of course, our spineless lot in ‘government’ will do absolutely nothing to alleviate our own problems – that’s what you get from a weak ‘human roights’ pacifist in power in our unfortunate country.

      As usual, is it true, or did you hear it on the bBC?

    For practical purposes and where possible edition

    Splash & grab… Trump seizes tankers in new show of force… Assault: US Coast guard… (giveaway Metro); UK ready to seize more of Putin’s shadow ships, as ‘grey war’ grows (i paper)

    And all completely and utterly legal and above board under ‘international law’, honest!

    (Any ironic observations about the UK’s apparent somewhat mixed legal ability to intercept ‘illegal’ vessels on the high seas need to be ignored, of course)

    Britain is preparing to help capture vessels in Russia’s shadow fleet, to stop illegal flow of oil… UK played crucial role in yesterday’s seizure… future action may be carried out by the UK alone, The i paper understands

    Our BBC liked that for their second to top spot in their online news page print press line-up. The pithy tabloidesque corporate adsheet Metro nabbed top place with their: Splash & grab – which our BBC are more than happy to echo in their newspaper round-up header: ‘Splash & grab’ and ‘UK ready to seize more of Putin’s ships’ (BBC) – no other major news event in the papers worthy of note today, apparently.

    Here are your new headline coinings – being as you’re now fully accustomed to the obligatory phrase ‘Small Boats’ (= illegal Channel crossing dinghies) please now familiarise yourselves with the terms ‘Shadow Fleet’ and ‘Grey War’ – official media communication ends.

    And why shouldn’t our BBC focus on this incident of distracting high seas foreign bang-bang, courtesy of the junior inflation-plus poundshop Guardian that is the i paper (£1.10) ?

    Well, looky here! Keir Starmer: What Isla, 9, taught me about poverty (The i paper) – In the future everyone will have a number as a surname

    It is a common trope in dystopian fiction and science fiction for individuals to be identified by numbers instead of names, but there is no evidence to suggest that this will happen in the future – thank you A.I.

    However: For practical purposes, most people already have numerous unique identification numbers assigned to them by governments and private organizations.

    For practical purposes, eh? I’m reminded of the day before yesterday’s news where a government minister told us our personal freedoms would always be protected ‘where possible’.

    But we digress… just a bit more…

    The primary girl with a number in Stranger Things is Eleven (011), played by Millie Bobby Brown, who has telekinetic powers and was a test subject at Hawkins Lab. Another significant girl with a number is Kali Prasad (008), played by Linnea Berthelsen, who appears in season 2 with illusion-manipulation powers – hat tip to A.I.

    Seven of Nine (from Star Trek: Voyager): Originally a human girl assimilated by the Borg, she is known by her Borg designation, “Seven of Nine” – A.I. helping out once again – well, it is the future, just ask Keir Starmer.

    Assimilated by the Borg, eh? Careful now, we’re getting a bit near the Knuckle re Starmer and his Digital ID plans for us.

    Which reminds us: Keir Starmer: What Isla, 9, taught me about poverty… PM sets out his personal mission, writing for The i paper

    Here’s some nostalgia for you… remember that thing we used to call “The Tory Press” ?

    The good ol’ days, eh? When the “Torygraph” used to back law and order as represented by our police force…

    Macabi ban police ‘lied and lied again’ (Telegraph); Met Police hired black child rapist to boost diversity credentials (Telegraph)

    Of course the OG Guardian has a somewhat different take on the latter story: Serial rapists kept Met jobs after vetting failure

    The Times explains: Crime spree of Met police let through on diversity

    But I thought we were told: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has consistently stated that diversity, tolerance, and respect are foundational British values and core strengths of the nation – A.I. gets the last word.

      As part of a mass repatriation plan that began in late 2023, Pakistan has deported or pressured more than 1.7 million Afghan nationals to leave the country as of late November 2025.

      The Pakistani government announced a plan to deport all “illegal foreigners” (primarily targeting undocumented Afghans) starting in October 2023. This campaign has been implemented in phases and has included both forced deportations and “voluntary” returns under duress due to fear of arrest and harassment.

    US immigration agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0jvnl4j1n4o

    Usual BBC lopsided anti-Trump propaganda here – but the bit which caught my eye was this attempt to place doubt on whether the ICE agent was actually hit by the car:

    ‘t’s not clear exactly how close the agent is standing or whether he was struck by the vehicle based on the videos reviewed immediately by the BBC.’

    Note the weasel words : ‘ based on the videos reviewed immediately by the BBC.’. Very deliberately chosen because they know full well it WAS shown on another video but it spoils the narrative. Whether she should have been shot is another question (remember there have been multiple assasination attempts on ICE agents now) and are entirely down to their rules of engagement and the enquiry will determine that – but whatever, the BBC are lying to push their own political agenda.


    If you watch the mans body, it’s clear it was pushed by the car. Another monstrous deliberate lie by the BBC.

    The root of this problem though is why the woman felt she should drive into ICE officers like that. And the answer is the divisive rhetoric being spewed out by the Democrats to disobey ICE and distributed by the likes of the BBC.

    And I am quite certain the BBC were excited to hear of this news. They will be PLEASED she got shot as they can now spin it against Trump.

    And of course we have immediate Lefty vigils. Reserved exclusively for political purposes. I simply can’t be bothered to read anything about the pathetic ‘Jan 06’ vigil the Democrats organised. I presume the ONLY person to be killed by the actions of others that day – Ashli Babbitt – an unarmed woman shot by a black police officer (which they covered up for months) was not even mentioned.

      Of course, the bBC now seem to rely wholly on AI instead of actually doing any investigating or reporting the truth.

      As a cost-cutting excercise, they could get rid of the whole lot of their highly-paid Grok-watchers, and just farm the news out to everyone else who actually does get down and do the hard yards of proper journalism! That way the British Citizens will be able to see the whole story and make up their own minds, not have to listen to orders from Mohammed Street being plastered all over the place by the tax-paid, failing State Propaganda crowd!

      The BBC’s reporting of this incident is bizarrely disproportionate. It might warrant a small item in an obscure part of their website’s North American page at best, hardly front page news for the UK. Notice the reference in the article to the local Mogadishu Minneapolis ‘Somali community’, designed to nudge the reader into thinking that a migrant was killed. The photos of the woman in US media show what appears to be a distinctively White person. The flurry of reporting by the hard left media and outpourings of faux grief by Democrat politicians give weight to President Trump’s remarks that Far Left extremists are involved, and not just the ones at the BBC.

    Man convicted of assaulting two female police officers and a member of the public
    https://www.gmp.police.uk/news/greater-manchester/news/news/2025/july/man-convicted-of-assaulting-two-female-police-officers-and-a-member-of-the-public/

    This showed Amaaz headbutt a member of the public in an airport café. The attack took place in a largely public area, and in front of young children, accompanying both parties. Despite claims made to the contrary, our investigation found no evidence of any prior threatening or unacceptable behaviour by the victim aimed towards Amaaz or his family.

    As three responding GMP officers – one male and two female – undertook their lawful duty to detain Amaaz for assault at the Terminal 2 car park pay station, they suffered injuries such as concussion, a broken nose, and bruising and swelling. CCTV played to the jury captured Amaaz throwing 10 punches, two ‘elbow strikes’ and one kick in a prolonged and violent attack.

    Putin must be enjoying the twists and turns of European Islamic states twisting over committing to Ukraine ….. the temptation to take the European part of NATO on must be tempting – but if he sits on his hands I reckon his assessment will be that NATO will end in its’ current form – why would the US defend failing European states ?

    “In a very short time, Jim Legxacy has risen “from poverty to pop star”.

    That’s his own description, delivered on last year’s shapeshifting, monumentally ambitious mixtape Black British Music (2025).

    Critics called it “unmissable, external”, “a brilliant snapshot of black British culture, external” and “a landmark moment for UK music, external”.

    And it’s earned the 25-year-old second place on BBC Radio 1’s Sound of 2026 list, which highlights the most exciting musical talent for the new year.”

    “In the 2012 remake of Red Dawn, the invading villains were changed from China to North Korea in post-production to avoid offending Chinese audiences and losing access to that lucrative market, involving digital alterations of symbols, flags, and dialogue. Originally, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) was the antagonist, but MGM digitally replaced them with North Korean forces to ensure potential Chinese box office revenue, though the film was ultimately not released in China. “

    AG NICK BROWN WARNS AGAINST SOMALI DAYCARE INVESTIGATIONS
    Washington Attorney General Nick Brown is now sounding the alarm — not about the alleged daycare fraud, but about the people trying to look into it. He’s cautioning citizens that digging into Somali-run daycare operations could trigger hate crime charges, and even showing up to verify whether a daycare exists is being branded as “harassment” or “unsafe behavior.”
    Meanwhile, reporters and everyday residents are uncovering something that should concern every taxpayer: daycares receiving huge public payouts while showing no trace of actual childcare. No kids. No equipment. No activity. Nothing.
    Some of these so-called daycare sites have reportedly pulled in hundreds of thousands of dollars, with certain locations surpassing $800,000, yet neighbors swear they’ve never seen a single child there.
    YouTuber Chris Sims went location to location in Kent — seven in total. Several owners denied running a daycare entirely. One demanded he “call the police” simply for asking questions. Up in Seattle, another home reportedly collecting large childcare funds showed no evidence of kids ever being present.
    The AG’s position? File complaints through government channels and leave it there.
    But what happens when those channels don’t answer? When taxpayer money keeps vanishing with zero transparency? When every attempt to verify the truth gets treated like a threat?
    This isn’t about stopping harassment.
    It feels like a warning to stop looking.

        Martin Clunes certainly doesn’t need the money – he’s been in some very succesful programmes, although we always thought Doc Martin was a bit far-fetched, had silly ‘plots’, and was not that good!

        So why do a show where a nasty kid-s*****r bloke is revered by a paid-up member of the Beeboid Sexurati? Are they all a bit – er – odd? Hang-ups, maybe tormented by piles of tax-money supporting their warped dreams?

        Doesn’t make sense, but there again, I won’t watch it, don’t pay for it, couldn’t give a f*** about it, so if some gormless ginks think it’s going to be interesting, then good luck to them…

        Such gorms still pay the TV tax presumably…

    The usual bbc spin on the death of the woman in Minneappolis who has now wrecked the life of another officer who was just doing his job. Apparently this happened only a mile from the drug-induced death of the convicted felon george floyd. According to the bbc she was an award-winning poet and a mother of three, just the sort of person you need at an immigration enforcement event. The floyd coverage went on and on and on and on; expect the same here. I imagine there will be the usual silences at football (Sorry, soccer) matches and the blacks will riot again. I know she was white, but any excuse. It will all be Putin’s fault before the week is out.

      2019 …. Dear Winston Smith at the BBC £3.5bn UK News Service Department,

      I noticed on the BBC news (2jul2019) you showed the opening of the EU Parliament and The Brexit Party facing the opposite way (outward looking) to the other MEPs (inward looking) and went on to show the Liberal Demoracts Party wearing bright yellow t-shirts front side only (not yellow vests).

      May I point out three bits of omission as it was a former employee of yours that said “Omission was the greatest lie.”.

      1) You showed the Liberal Democrats t-shirts but did not display what was on the back .. B*LL*CKS TO BREXIT. I added stars incase your system blocks swear words. This is missing the point that grown ups are swearing in Parliament.

      2) Your complaints page has been missing for at least two weeks that shows your omissions and corrections in 2018 like the one where you said NHS nurse but in fact she was a Labour Activist.
      http://www.bbc.co.uk/corporate2/helpandfeedback/corrections_clarifications/corrections_2018

      3) I see MEP Magid Magid got refused entry to the EU Parliament, but the article shows a nice t-shirt (IMMIGRANTS MAKE BRITAIN GREAT) and not the one he wore which was “F**K FASCISM” when trying to enter Parliament.

      From these 3 cases I hope you can see that omission lets the BBC tell a different story and can elevate those in favour and bring scorn to those out of favour.

      I know this email is on its way to the BBC Memory Hole but hope that at least one person in the BBC, you Winston, get a chance to raise an eyebrow.

      Many Thanks,
      A BBC TV License Tax payer helping the Few like Gary Lineker, Not the Many like the over 75s.

    Man admits knife attack on soldier near barracks
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20xp6pgp43o

    ‘Anthony Esan, 25, admitted to the attempted murder of Lt Col Mark Teeton, who he stabbed “repeatedly” in Sally Port Gardens, near Brompton Barracks in Chatham, on 23 July 2024.’

    So all things considered, this is a front page news item by any standard. Definitely more significant than:
    ‘Abandoned baby Elsa to be adopted and regularly see two siblings’ which tries to turn black people abdandoning babies in bags into heart-warming empathy porn.

    So to actually see this story, you have to go to the main news page, THEN click ‘UK’ – and it’s not even there : you THEN have to click ‘England’ to see it.

    Well and truly buried.

    Why ?. The usual reason.
    2d9a4720-cb90-11f0-8b24-8191145688b1.jpg.webp

    The BBC don’t give a shit that the army bloke got stabbed multiple times. They are more concerned to avoid letting us know about yet another murderous black psychopath.

    Not mentioned by our BBC –

    A recent freedom of information request uncovered that the UK Met Office has once more been publishing temperature data from non-existent weather stations.

    “The numbers were actually coming from a model that was inventing data from phantom neighbouring stations.”

    “This is the foundation of the UK’s climate record.”

    The met office have been doing this for years, for the non existent weather stations they just use their computer modelling, so guess they can input whatever figures they want that suits the current climate change narrative’.
    At the very least their figures can’t be trusted.
    It’s the middle of winter and cold by the way, must be climate change.

    Farage brainwashed by the BBC?

    Nigel Farage believes the BBC narrative about Tommy Robinson, so Robinson has sued Nigel Farage for defamation of character, because ‘Farage the idiot’ keeps repeating BBC Fake News about Robinson. The BBC have twisted Tommys words, smeared his name, and fabricated stories to try and silence him. Then the idiot, Nigel Farage, libelled Tommy, by repeating the BBC lies, claiming Robinson has a ‘criminal conviction for beating women’.

    Tommy Robinson is not letting these blatant lies go unanswered anymore. So Tommy is not going to stop until Farage apologies for repeating BBC lies. Solicitors have sent a pre-action letter to Nigel Farage, demanding a full retraction and a sincere public apology for repeating BBC lies about Tommy Robinson. If Farage refuses, the solicitors will pursue legal action in the High Court and force Farage to apologise to Tommy Robinson for repeating information supplied to him by the BBC Fake News Service.

    The Met Police have been banged to rights as it transpires they abandoned their vetting processes.

    But you had to wait and wait with your ears pinned back for the half sentence revealing the real reason for this appalling abdication of responsibility. Yes, it was all about meeting diversity targets.

    But not that you’d know. A white man’s photo was next to a black man’s photo, the latter having a rape conviction which didn’t stop him becoming a policeman.
    Equality, BBC style.

    You have to admit it. The wimmin who campaign for safe streets do have a case when they know they can’t trust the plod to keep them safe.
