It’s difficult to keep up with events . Ukraine ( military involvement ) Venezuela – Iran – Minneapolis- Greenland corrupt anti semitic west midland police – threat of censoring X … but the BBC bias by omission on the Iranian uprising shows how captured by Islam the BBC now is . Disgraceful .

SPIKED ONLINE: Brendan O’Neill – Interviews Robin Aitkin on why the BBC is the way it is: “How the BBC became the voice of the progressive elite”(December 2025)
One of the comments is that the BBC is the voice of the FABIAN’S. They just happen to be in control of government at the moment. We are living the dream.
Well done, Philip_2. You are first in the new Thread.
Philip
Thanks very much for posting that. A brilliant interview with Robin Aitken about the bias of the BBC.
‘Hear hear’ Atlas – an hour well-spent having a real journalist on screen and listening to common sense, intuition, reason and a loyalty to his profession.
I like Brendan O’Neill’s presentation – he says hardly anything – unlike the majority of bBC yappers!
Can that man who couldn’t pay for his own spectacles, do anything by himself?
Starmer couldn’t condemn the killing of protestors in Iran without making a joint statement with his mates from France and Germany. They are ‘concerned’ about reports of violence by the Iranian security services. I presume the wording was as brave as they thought they dare,
He can’t he is either with some other socialists or a rent-a-crowd behind him. In short he is an empty suit who lives from minute to minute with no forsight and no sense of purpose. A weasel.
Well well, it’s emerging that the nice mumsie mother of 3 who was shot in Minneapolis wasn’t quite as innocent as the BBC would have us believe, as they try to whip up more George Floyd style riots.
According to them, the “prize-winning poet and a hobby guitarist” was there as a legal observer.
What they don’t tell you is that she was a member of a radical extremist group called ICE Watch that instructs its members to resist ICE operations, assault police and set police cars on fire. Oh, and “eliminate the United States”.
Basically a bunch of anarcho-commies.
Good riddance.
I’ve seen a bit of an interview Elizabeth Liz Kendall dun with Der ITV . Liz did a really good angry over X – and used that ‘ full force of the law ‘ meme ?/ think TTK is so enthusiastic about re Grok ? Disrobing ladies online ….
A number of commentators have mused why the Marxists are so upset about AI images versus the real harm done to white girls by Pakistani rapists …, with the women’s minister still stalling the paki rape inquiry and facilitating the continuation of paki rape gangs …
Anyway – let’s hope ofcom ban X . President Trump will then Declare the UK government as a real enemy and prepare the way for regime change , please – please .
Fedup
You beat me to this exact point. Why are the Gute Femschen getting their panties in such a bunch about Grok putting a wimmin in a bikini when there are real UK girls having petrol poured over them and being gang raped?
This is such an organised pile-on that it obviously is not authentic.
Cue another marxist clamp down on the ability of citizens to use the internet to find out information.
So the civil servants will walk out if Reform are elected to be the government “ to save their consciences “ .
Well it’s no secret to them that I hate senior civil servants grade 5 and above. Their actions make me think their morals are on the same level as paedeophiles , when criticised publicly in the press they lay low , slink about and wait till the attention is over . They don’t defend themselves because they can’t . Any country never mind any organisation is better off without them .
So good they can leave , no money no pensions and try to get a job in the real world .
We can replace them with patriotic workers who put the people of this nation first.
If they try to leave and sabotage the will of the electorate we must have legislation to counter their vexatious ways .
Malfeasance in public office,
Sabotage of the elected government
Countering a publicly announced policy
Or something.
There should be minimum sentences ( not maximum) of two years if the hide or destroy any files , paperwork, correspondence, reports etc or withhold passwords to computers or try anything that impedes a smooth transition from the self serving b@$t@r]§ that they are to the new keen loyal replacements.
I wish upon the new public servants a contentment as they put service to the people before more turgid desires and a violent and unnatural death to the traitor class they replace.
I knew a guy, retired at about age 50, who was highly placed in the Civil Service. He told everyone he was the equivalent of a colonel in the Army. He got offended when we enquired at which war he fought in.
The BBC here call the FDD (The Foundation for Defense of Democracies) a “right leaning think tank” I like the response. Just for info the FDD state on thier site that there are “a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)(3) research institute focusing on foreign policy and national security. FDD does not accept donations from foreign governments.”
I wonder what the BBC think the Aytollahs are? Left leaning? You can’t get more right wing than the authoritarian regime in Iran!!
Very interesting snip from the proper news dictated by an Iranian exile – David Patrikarakos
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15450611/Friends-Tehran-tell-theyve-never-seen-like-writes-DAVID-PATRIKARAKOS-revolt-momentous-Starmer-BBC-near-silence.html
The short piece concerning the failing bBC, the spineless TTK, and his weak little chums in the EU is in there…
(Starts)
“State television thunders about ‘foreign agents’ and shadowy plots while refusing to acknowledge the size of the crowds.
This pattern is well-worn.
Tehran shuts down information first. Then it moves on the people. In November 2019, the same sequence ended with hundreds dead in days.
And yet in Britain, there is near silence.
Turn on the BBC and, apart from a few brief clips, you would scarcely know a historic revolt was under way for most of yesterday. No urgency. No sustained coverage. No moral clarity.
Iran’s people are desperately trying to throw off the chains of their Islamist oppressors, and the British national broadcaster averts its gaze.
Keir Starmer is just as bad. Awkward and hesitant. Reduced to limp, half-hearted statements that everyone ignores.
I suspect our Prime Minister is most troubled by whether protesters might be violating some abstruse clause of international law as they lie bleeding and twitching on the ground.
And, perhaps, Labour is equally wary of alienating sections of its expansive Muslim base by welcoming the overthrow of an explicitly Islamist regime.
But despite Starmer’s silence, these protests matter. And if you think they don’t concern you, you are wrong.”
Stirring stuff, but of course, there’s no beeboid ‘journo’ available from our gutless, far-left ‘administration’ propagandist; they’re still on holiday, or hiding in Islington – a war-torn internal commune owned by some sort of ‘mare’…
The DM had no problem in getting all the information, they just did it!
So if oFcom try and ‘ban’ Elon Musk, there’ll be plenty of ways to get the news elsewhere, so they really are stuck pigs in Langham Place. Don’t they want their Iranian Hightollers here to know anything?
Very telling that the BBC isn’t making any editorial comment or opinion on the shooting in Minneapolis…how different when it is a Black that is shot….but of course pumps out a lot of ‘voices say’ and sympathetic coverage for the dead woman. Notable that in this report they refuse to state that the officer was actually hit by the car despite other videos showing that….they instead refer to the hit indirectly…
‘In a chaotic couple of seconds, she turns the wheel to the right and pulls forwards.
The camera jerks up to the sky. “Woah, woah!” a voice says, as bangs are heard…..
Federal officials say the agent was injured and treated in hospital. The FBI is investigating the incident.’
Why not say outright that the officer was hit by the driver?
Think we know why.

Straight into one of those awkward little clashing juxtapositions that give the lie to the prevailing media narratives…
Internet black out cuts Iran off… Iran signalled it was hardening its crackdown against protesters yesterday as an internet blackout cut off the Islamic republic from the outside world while authorities battled to contain the biggest unrest in years (FT Weekend)
Kendall issues new threat to Musk over X… Labour has threatened Elon Musk’s X with a ban… said the media regulator… would use “the full legal powers…” (Telegraph)
Our BBC admits: Musk says X outcry is ‘excuse for censorship’ (Tabby Wilson, BBC): Kendall has said that Ofcom will have the government’s full support if it makes the decision to block X in the UK – Ofcom is of course the government’s cat’s paw, eh Tabby?
Government “Enough” campaign: A voiceover says: “Tracking her every move, restricting her from going online, and isolating her from her family is abuse.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (seen in a file photo) called protesters “troublemakers”… An internet blackout is in place… Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi has warned of a possible “massacre” during the internet shutdown… Mahsa Alimardani, who works for the human rights NGO Witness, told the BBC in London that she had not been able to make contact with her family since Thursday evening. “It’s very anxiety-inducing, not having access to information” (Mallory Moench, BBC)
Elsewhere in the world: Tanzanian activist blocked from Instagram after mobilising election protests (Alfred Lasteck, BBC Africa, Reporting from Dar es Salaam and Basillioh Rukanga, BBC)
On a lighter note… chill out, turn on, tune in and drop out, man… available on the NHS yet?
Super-strong cannabis – on prescription… Shocking loophole lets private clinics legally dole our powerful drug… for anxiety and depression… (the ever excitable Daily Mail)
Your Mr AsI insists that Lockdowns demoralised the British workforce.
The in-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror goes full-on Royalist: Emotional birthday message… Kate: I’m so deeply grateful – extraordinarily not, on this occasion, gushingly grateful to our saintly NHS, rather: Princess on how nature hepled her heal (Mirror)
The Labour red top practically duplicating the Tory Express frontpage: Kate’s ‘deeply grateful’ for nature’s healing power
So there you have it – worried about a long wait for your skank on the NHS – take a stroll in the countryside instead.
I’m a serious thespian, honest…
Playing a Bond girl ruined my carer – That’s Jane Seymour: Actress and entrepreneur Jane Seymour has an estimated net worth of $60 to $70 million – (thank you AI) – doing a frontpage full-colour feature pin-up for the Telegraph this morning while she moans about sexism, I guess, in her page 27 interview. Somewhat beyond our frontpage remit.
The Art of the Deal
The White House said recently the administration is considering buying the semi-autonomous territory of fellow Nato member Denmark… Greenland and Denmark have rejected Trump’s offer to buy the semi-autonomous territory (Sarah Smith, North America editor, BBC) – my advice – take the money Denmark.
Whereas: Starmer’s Chagos surrender may cost taxpayers £12bn more than feared. Analysis by Taxpayers’ Alliance suggests true figure could be as high as £47bn over the next century (Telegraph, September 2025)
Watched a JD Vance press conference yesterday. He was once again brilliant, direct , clear , unambiguous in his answers to journalists questions and very strong on what his values are and willingness to defend them. What a contrast to the nasty liar that we have over here.
It helps of course that I share his values and totally oppose those of Starmer.
As JD will probably take over from when President Trump has to stand down – according to The Twenty-second Amendment, a dream ticket of Farage, hopefully with Rupert Lowe and other serious leaders will be established, and all the ‘ewmin roights’ lawyers in the world will have a huge fight on their hands – presumably they can do nothing when proper leaders refuse to pay their eye-watering bills!
Today watch
They’ve decided – finally – to talk about dissent in Iran – the today girl didn’t sound happy even though the BBC has decided that the regime will be ok and freedom fighters will be defeated . They got an approved dissenter on who didn’t like trump so he ll be a ‘go to ‘ for safe future comment .
I reckon the bbc would go ballistic if the US engineers a second regime change in one month – with – maybe – Greenland coming in February ….. UK in march …. eU in April ….
The BBC will be so pleased when Iranian dissent is repressed and will make TTK feel safer ….
Starmer doesn’t have any values. Or personality. Or presence. Or anything else. I’m sure it’s an empty suit with a plastic head stuck on top.
Today watch 2
I listened for an hour out of duty – expecting a discussion about TTK banning unapproved bits of the internet – namely X …. but there was no mention – instead – 15 minutes on Bowie being dead 10 years ago- anniversary porn – followed by 15 minutes of tedious stuff about the cliche of the FA cup ….. yawn …. the decline of the BBC and its’ obvious approval and support of its’ ,Marxist regime is clear to be seen …. BTW – the BBC has discovered the Munro doctrine for South America – they had 3 lefties on as a panel including the repulsive gove and repulsive Rory Stewart – off switch …
Marky style, HA HA HA! Don’t worry about a thing. The GOOD Muslim from Reform will save your country.
You finally have a Party that represents you as an English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish descended native.
Mohammad Yusuf displays his REAL feelings about you here:
“Rachel Reeves comes out as an ethno nationalist. She believes only white people can be British. “
Islam believes only Islam is correct.
“(Islamic Conservative UK Chancellor) Sajid Javid’s notable “So what?” comment was a reply on X (formerly Twitter) in November 2022 to a post about major UK cities becoming minority-white, where he essentially dismissed the significance of demographic shifts by asking “So what?” to suggest focus should remain on other societal aspects like community unity, though critics saw it as dismissive of demographic changes.”
‘Please have me to stay’: Rory Stewart asks Londoners to invite him for sleepovers
https://www.itv.com/news/2020-02-11/london-mayor-candidate-rory-stewart-asks-public-to-invite-him-for-sleepovers
London mayoral candidate Rory Stewart is urging people to invite him round for sleepovers, as part of his plan to win election.
The former Tory leadership hopeful who is running as an independent posted a video to Twitter in which he asked Londoners to invite him “into their homes and show me the city through their eyes”.
I see that now the bodycam footage proves the ICE agent WAS hit by the car and the lesbian’s wife was shouting ‘drive baby drive’ as she evaded arrest after being told to get out of the car, her ‘innocent victim’ status has been utterly destroyed.
And the BBC coverage has dropped from frenzied to almost zero. And they don’t even admit she hit him with the car : they write ‘the camera jerks to the sky’. More odd wording which is clearly the result of the advice from their lawyer/agenda team.
As I read elsewhere : One thing you can be sure about : black people are not going to riot for a white lesbian. Because they are racist.
Too late – the story has gone out.
“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
― Mark Twain
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/76-a-lie-can-travel-half-way-around-the-world-while
That’s always an interesting observation, especially when a state-taxed service is telling it!
I did a quick check to see what answers there are to such a statement and the following came up: –
““Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it…””
“Truth can catch up—and endure”
““A lie may sprint, but truth runs marathons.”
“Lies win the race; truth wins the war.”
“Truth doesn’t need better shoes; it needs better storytellers.”
——————————————————————–
…and the best one regarding the internet, X etc, is: –
“In contemporary discussions, people point out that:
1) Lies spread faster than ever
2) But so do corrections, receipts, and primary sources
3) In some cases, truth now travels faster than lies, especially when evidence is immediate and verifiable.”
I rather like the last three here – it describes the panic the beeboids have festering in their cubicles, knowing that they’ll be proven wrong even sooner than before!
Curiously the footage of Iranians demonstrating about the BBC pro Iran regime bias – outside the BBC building – hasn’t made it to …bbc news …. State broadcaster indeed . Please – if you have a licence – cancel it today …

Not mentioned by our BBC –
21 years ago, The Guardian reported that by the year 2020:
1️⃣ The Bering Strait would be open year-round,
2️⃣ European ships would routinely pass through the Arctic to reach Asia,
3️⃣ Polar bear populations would decline,
4️⃣ Snow would disappear from the tops of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, and,
5️⃣ Sea levels would start rising by 7 mm / year due to accelerated Greenland ice melt
But according to the BBC last year ALL of these things have already come to pass, haven’t they? The climate emergency is still fuelling libtards all over the world although it does seem that they are slowly deflating as reality keeps proving them wrong .
I clearly remember the BBC saying the sea would rise several meters and there would regularly be wild storms ripping our roofs off, also the coral reefs would all die, and the Maldives would be drowned.
New Channel 5 DocuDrama on Huw Edwards with Martin Clunes!
Just when you thought you had heard everything about BBC *STAR* Huw Edwards antics being ignored and hidden (at first) by the BBC we now now have a Channel 5 ‘DocuDrama; with Martin Clunes, (a former comedian) taking his place. I guess it will have few laughs, and that the facts of the case (by the BBC) were all hidden, and never disclosed at the time. It was only revealed by The Sun who were given and anonymous tip-off. ‘That a well known BBC Presenter was queer and grubby’. and the fact that the BBC knew about it!! and thought his antics were ‘perfectly normal’ – within the BBC! Nobody could say a WORD against him – if you worked at the BBC you were silenced for even observing what was going on. Very much like how Jimmy Saville managed to work there as a former TV presenter.
The BBC hides many other perverts in this one institution that also denies any BIAS COVER-UP or LIABAILITY – and then claims we are the problem. And should pay them £200 a year for the privilege. In comparison, Channel 4 or 5, costs absolutely nothing to watch- -and is paid for totally by Advertising as is ITV which is still subject to OFCOM. Whilst the BBC is (despite all) not even mentioned, as its a protected species.
New Channel 5 DocuDrama with Martin Clunes. (Photo link)
And its now revealed that Huw Edwards was allowed to appear with Children actors and teens on other BBC programs… all this was ongoing until, the BBC were forced to ‘lay-him-off pending a Police and BBC internal inquiry’. Indeed that inquiry ,like many others was never published! and he was put on BBC holiday on full pay and a very generous BBC pension. He was still on ‘full paid employment’ until last year, as a token gesture the BBC asked him to pay some of the money back since his conviction. He refused and is now traveling the World, first-class, no doubt reaching out to children from his wheelchair. He is not ‘disabled’ either but I await an explanation for that in the C5 ‘DocuDrama’, I won’t be watching.
The BBC is an ‘Evil’ environment, – no children should work there without a WARNING! But then the BBC is all about fantasy, glamour and sexual perversions mixed with Strictly Come Dancing, Dr Who and little furry animals . News is an irrelevance and is always biased towards one cause or another. From TRANS to Climate change. That we are all forced to pay for it is a crime.
Statues will fall…..

Message
Boris Johnson
Mayor of London
It is an honour to welcome all delegates to London for the 9th World
Islamic Economic Forum in what is an historic first for a city outside
the Islamic world. I am proud that London is a fantastically diverse
city, boasting not just a great cultural and ethnic mix but also a great
mix of ages too. Londoners from all backgrounds contribute a huge
amount to the capital’s culture and economy.
The presence of WIEF in London recognises the UK’s position as a
major centre of Islamic finance. Islamic finance is already playing
a major role in shaping the economic and physical landscape
of our capital city.
The newly opened Shard, the extraordinary
redevelopment of Battersea Power Station and the Olympic Village
were paid for at least in part by Sharia- compliant finance.,
I also welcome the effort of the British Muslim community in bringing
the World Islamic Economic Forum to London. My team have worked with the Muslim Council of Britain to bring this Forum to London, who has been a key delegation at WIEF since its inception. I want this to continue to work together to continue to strengthen London’s ties with the Islamic world, and develop a clear legacy
of jobs and growth for Londoners from what promises to be a
successful World Islamic Economic Forum.

In years gone by, police had the respect of the general population, I think the expression is something like upholding the law by consent (of the people). Sending 7 police cars regarding flying a British flag ( sorry, English flag, but it shouldn’t make any difference) adds to the reasons why the police are losing that respect. Hearing someone referring to the police cars as ‘piggy wagons’ saddens me, watching no reaction to the comment by the police saddens me more. If there is no respect for the police they are unable to maintain law and order.
I remember that back in the sixties, I even used to resent the police being called , ‘The Fuzz’…
My dad was a JP, and used to listen carefully to the East Sussex Police in all they did, and I really had to adhere to the principles of being on the right side of the law!
Maybe I was just lucky, but back then, Private Eye would regularly call the police ‘The Fuzz’, and I never actually found out why! I still felt enormous respect for the East Sussex Police back then.
Nowadays, I deal with the police on a speeding traffic issue as a volunteer, it saves a few deaths here and there, and our assigned copper is a great bloke, but that’s from about where my respect starts to fade.
I really hope to have a hurty words ‘crime’ accusation appear on my doorstep – Lily the dog will have their legs off on no time!
Bins will not be emptied unless Palestine is free!

I didn’t watch The Repair Shop on the BBC on Boxing Day as I no longer watch the BBC. Today I read about a cello which was brought in for repair. The item was featured for a third of the programme. The cello in question had been brought to England by a Kindertransport child as he escaped Europe. During the journey the cello was damaged by Nazi soldiers. The boy in question had 31 of his closest family members murdered in the concentration camps. Apparently the makers of the programme decided not to mention that the family were Jews or were Jewish, ….’because it was implied’.
Just what sort of country do we live in where those on the Far Left (I assume but the Left always assume I am Far Right) have such a warped view of Jews that their ethnicity can’t be mentioned?
Hi Deborah, it may have been this, I don’t watch much, this is a repeat.
Note Auschwitz is described as a “prison camp”. Not concentration or extermination.
Thanks Harry, but no, and a second ‘offence’ makes it even worse. The episode I was referring to featured Helen Mirren and definitely a cello. It was left to a care home for entertainers by theatre director Martin Landau.
Article in The Jewish Chronicle this week reads;
BBC One’s The Repair Shop entirely failed to include any mention of Jews in an extensive story on the Kindertransport in its Christmas special.
The edition broadcast on December 26 featured a broken cello presented by actress Dame Helen Mirren that once belonged to Martin Landau, a child refugee who grew up to become a noted theatrical impresario.
During more than 16 minutes of the hour-long programme devoted to the segment, Landau’s Jewish identity as being the reason he was forced to flee Nazi Europe is never mentioned, nor were the words “Jewish” or “Jews” used at any point.
At one moment just after 18 minutes into the show, it appears what may have been the word “Jewish” was cut from the beginning of a sentence spoken by Mirren, which aired as: “…children were put on the Kindertransport”.
Asked about the omission, the independent company which made the programme for the BBC, Ricochet, told the JC they thought Landau’s Jewish identity was “implicit”.
The makers said they will now alter the programme on BBC iPlayer to state explicitly that Landau and the Kindertransport refugees were forced to escape Europe because they were Jewish.
The cello had been donated by Landau to Denville Hall, a retirement home for professionals from the theatrical world.
Born in Berlin in 1924, Landau arrived in the UK in March 1939 aged 14 on the Kindertransport fleeing Nazi Europe.
Thirty-one members of his family, including his parents, perished in Bergen-Belsen, Dachau and Auschwitz. He arrived alone in London holding the pieces of his cello, which had been smashed en route by the Gestapo.
In the UK, Landau became a prolific theatre impresario, bringing to life novels on the West End stage and whose collaborations included the Beatles’ manager, Brian Epstein, and Margaret Thatcher’s playwright and speechwriter, Sir Ronald Millar. He died on February 16, 2011, aged 86.
Sure most on here know Ms Mirren has Russian mobility ancestry.
It’s a re-post of sorts…
Let’s hope he has a breakdown….
How is this t**t still in No10?

Note: lots of other AI programmes will also undress people. No-one seems bothered.
Could someone ask the man who doesn’t pay for his own spectacles, if AI images are less tolerable than young white girls being raped (with the graphic details from the trials describing putting in words the full horror) in their thousands.
Someone needs to fill TTK in in exactly what AI actually is. He’s obviously unaware that image manipulation is one of the backbones of AI, That’s ALL AI …. now to be found in loads of internet outlets and within many desktop image manipulation softwares.
X are not the producers, they simply include its capability with their offering.
This TTK poseur “rage” comes across as childish manufactured petulance and he also doesn’t get that this pile-on against X is in reality an attack on Musk and by association, Trump, or maybe he does!

The bbc really don’t know when they are doing it, do they? A “technology editor” refers to Grok as “deliberately designed to be sarcastic, rebellious, and controversial”. In case you don’t understand these big words, she gives an example by continuing ” a bit like its owner”.
I’ve got an idea love, why don’t you just Feck off? No sarcasm there.
Apparently it is partly to remove “Explicit child abuse images”. I imagine that if the tv licence permitted such practices it would be fine and dandy with the bbc though. Sorry, I was being “sarcastic, rebellious, and controversial” there.
““sarcastic, rebellious, and controversial””

That is deception cos she has herself already put such images in the public domain
A 2018 i-Paper article has the headline “Why these BBC reporters are recording a podcast naked – and asking guests to strip off too”
With numerous pictures (tease cos their arms are over their breasts)
and then features a link to the new article
The new VD article has just 15 Likes on Twitter
VD actively promoted images on the half naked Trump baby blimp

VD by name, VD by nature.
Begs the question as to who the hell would want to see naked pictures of the repulsive slag VD unless mentally ill.
Iran to stop the internet and use the Prophet Mohammed deliver all messages via Imams. Better than X and no bikini pictures of Kier Starmer!
Sort of wonder who – exactly – decided not to properly cover what has been going on in Iran ? No accountability in the BBC . Was it decided by that Munro creature or the outgoing DG .
Plenty of people -particularly Iranian exiles / ex pats noticed what the bbc has been doing . And what has the Persian service been saying ? Spouting the venom of the mullahs ?
So the latest on Iran ,their leader is in a bunker in the desert and says he won’t leave ,could be looking to be a martyr .
Members of irgc and their families have been airlifted out and been spotted in Moscow ,
The BBC are reporting at last but very biased as per gov sencorship as they don’t want this happening here ,other irgc members will probably end up in exile in France as they seem to tolerate them their and if I remember the former irgc leader came from France in 1979 so they have form for this .for the real news check out toulsi TV on YouTube as it’s bang on the money and shows vidio clips sent via Elons starlink system ,Sky news have their own lefty agenda as usual so don’t expect any support from them as they are owned by Comcast an American Marxist company ,my heart bleeds for Corbyn and Owin Jones who support the thugs in Iran
Might hope that the US might use them there bunker buster jobs on the mullahs’ home address ….
You won’t find any beeboid ‘administrators’ (formally misunderstood as ‘correspondents’)! Ha ha ha!
They’re unable to visit and do their ‘jobs’, no big hotels, no huge expensive lunches etc., – just leaving it to real journo investigators, then do a copy and paste for the head cubiclist on the fifth floor!
There! TTK’s job done, he’s in the clear, he never knew about it!
Much safer that way innit…

Characters can face extremism referrals if they choose to engage with groups that spread “harmful ideological messages”, or join protests against the “erosion of British values”. Even researching online immigration statistics is portrayed negatively.
Then Charlie, who is outperformed by a black student at college, must decide whether or not to accept his misfortune or blame immigrants for “stealing jobs”.

“The British-Egyptian writer and pro-democracy activist Alaa Abdel Fattah has arrived in the UK after a travel ban imposed by the Egyptian authorities was lifted . He was freed from jail in September after spending more than a decade of his life behind bars. His latest imprisonment came after being convicted of “spreading fake news” when he shared a Facebook post about torture in the country.”

In the posts, most of which appear to have been deleted and could not immediately be verified, he described the killing of Zionists as heroic, adding “we need to kill more of them”. In 2011 he is accused of saying police “don’t have rights, we should just kill them all”. He also once described British people as dogs and monkeys.

James Mates on ITV news
“Here I am live in the street in the snow , shouting Orangeman bad”
TV news is PR theatre and going to a location to report live when you might as well be standing in front of a photo is part of that
Such theatre is akin to creating artificial images using Grok AI.
Commenters always point out libmob’s hypocrisy as they say Greenlanders have right but Chagos citizens get to have Mauritius rule imposed on them
I presume all those protesters outside the Iranian embassy will go back to Iran when the Islamic republic falls??? I expect not
Give them AK47 and off they go! Revoking their British Passport on the way out?
Never!
They wanted to be in the EU. So whats the problem? Did no one explain that if you are in the anti-democratic club you have to obey the rules made in France and Germany?
The Irish state are pushing their luck being Berlaymont sock puppets
To be English – to want the truth no matter the cost and to act on it?

Revealing details of the inquiry’s findings, Prof Jay said: “It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered.”
The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”.
