    Do I get the impression that when the Islamic republic of Iran slaughter 12000 of its own citizens – including public hangings – it would rather be ‘upset ‘ by the death of a Far Left cat woman in the US ….

    BBC completely subverted by Islam ….

      Of course, they’re told to by Mohammed street, Fed, as TTK needs to hold on to the muslim vote in time for the GE, when it isn’t cancelled that is!

      Beeboids are so diverse aren’t they – all left, far-left, a few Lib dem waverers, commies, marxists and in fact every false ‘creed for greed’ going! It sure beats contributing to industry and prosperity in the UK!

    Why can’t we not give the Chagos to Trump if TTK is determined to get rid of the Islands.

    Better for the Chagossians.
    Cheaper for us.
    Good for Trump and the USA.

    *Just noticed, I typed ttk in lower case and now auto correct changes it to upper case. It’s a recognised word now.
    ** I had to type it twice (ttk that is) to keep it in lower case.

    CENSORED by the BBC


    In 2023, a pre-print Lancet study by Nicolas Hulscher et al., including leading cardiologist Peter McCullough and Yale epidemiologist Harvey Risch, reviewed 325 autopsies after covid vaccination and found that 74% of the deaths were attributable to the vaccine.

      RP, and that is not all. You showed in one of your posts last year, iirc, that the Royal Family had various cancers thanks to the Covid vaccines.

    Thought we need a bit of good news and show that Britain can do it…a 130m rail bridge demolished in two days[3000 tons of rubble] and replaced in another two days…over a motorway. Got to think no politician was involved in this success.

    Not BBC – but its’ evil shadow is there – Alison Pearson in the DT – enjoy – or maybe not ….

    STARTS Everything works. It takes me a few days in Australia to adjust to this new reality. Turns out that Down Under you do not need to take the train before the train that should get you to your meeting because you know the earlier train will almost certainly be cancelled due to something – please fill in seasonal excuse here – on the line.

    Nor do you have to call at 8am precisely to compete for an appointment to see a doctor in three weeks’ time. Precautions that have become second nature to us in broken Britain are not necessary. Because Australia is a country that works for its lucky people.

    Up very early, I was strolling through an almost empty Sydney when I came across a man in a high-vis tabard who was cleaning the button thingamajig for a pedestrian crossing. Bent over, the man was absorbed in his work, polishing that humble piece of street furniture. Jet lag has a hallucinatory quality, I know, still this was surreal by any standard that we are used to. You could wait at a junction in London for a hundred years and no one would come to clean the button thingamajig.

    I experienced a sudden twinge at this display of civic pride and realised it was envy. A sensation I was to experience time and again over the next 10 days. Life just feels more liveable in Australia because, as I came to realise, the state is working for, not against, its people. Imagine that.

    I got talking to a young woman from Melbourne who was about to complete medical training and already had a choice of two plum jobs. I told her that British medics at that same stage now have to compete with international doctors and many are no longer guaranteed a job at all. “But that’s crazy,” she exclaimed. “Why would a country waste all that time and money training their young people then pick doctors from abroad who are probably nowhere near as well qualified?”

    Why indeed. “That’s just how things are in the UK,” I said. It felt oddly shaming, disloyal even, to try and explain the impact on Britain of uncontrolled immigration – ironically, Boris Johnson’s government promised us an Australian points-based system but ended up letting in the world and his wives. And hundreds of thousands of their dependents.

    By contrast, since the then prime minister John Howard took draconian action to stop the boats (with offshore processing of illegal migrants as a deterrent) Australia has had a rigorous immigration system, cherry-picking the best talent, and is thriving because it doesn’t hesitate to put its own people first.

    Later that same morning, Himself and I took a tram to the first day of the final Test at Sydney Cricket Ground. Not only was the tram service astonishingly clean and efficient, there was no charge. Anyone in possession of an Ashes ticket could travel on public transport for free. Again, it was hard to imagine Mayor Sadiq Khan doing something that imaginative and magnanimous in our capital city.

    I bumped into some members of the glorious Barmy Army, devout fans who follow England wherever they go. As befitted the culmination of a cricket tragedy (the Ashes were already lost and there was only honour left to salvage), this pair from the Midlands was on deliciously laconic form.

    “If they mess this one up, Stokes and the rest should be sent into a library with a loaded revolver,” said one glumly.

    “Yeah, but they’d probably miss that shot too,” replied his mate.

    When it comes to Blitz humour, that is where we score. As it happens, we got lucky. Until the storm came mid-afternoon, England played the best they had for the entire tour. Not only did Joe Root score a century (“Roooooot”, chanted the delighted Barmies who had kicked off proceedings with a rousing and emotional rendition of Jerusalem), his commanding presence at the crease settled his side’s nerves, and all of us in that stadium who longed for our country’s success drew strength from our fair laddie. That’s leadership. Something that is so sorely lacking in Britain under the abysmal Keir Starmer that it was a surprise to find you can still recognise it when you see it.

    Don’t get me wrong, Australia is not perfect. The massacre of Jews at Bondi Beach over New Year shows the country has its own dark struggle with multiculturalism. The response of prime minister Anthony Albanese – blaming the availability of the weapons not the Islamist fiends firing them – was straight out of the Keir Starmer Appeasers’ Playbook.

    But devastated Aussies, including 60 sporting legends like the great swimmer Dawn Fraser, demanded a Royal Commission into anti-Semitism and radicalisation, and they got one in short order. (Compare and contrast with the shamefully long, drawn-out quest for a national rape-gangs inquiry that Labour sought to avoid to preserve its client group.) Nor was anyone in Australia in a mood to indulge Muslim demands to include “Islamophobia” in the commission’s remit as would surely have happened in the UK.

    From 10,000 miles away, viewed from a “No worries” country brimming with a can-do confidence that we have sadly lost, I got a valuable perspective on what ails Britain. In his New Year’s message, and after everything that had happened in the previous 12 months, the Prime Minister had the cheek to say, “To be British is to be diverse.”

    No, it certainly is not. The Barmy Army is the soul of the British people on tour. Diversity is not our strength, however much that threadbare mantra is rammed down our throats. Unity – a precious commodity eroded by an authoritarian Labour Government as it seeks to restrict trial by jury and cancels elections to avoid humiliation – is our strength. Without the state enforcement of British laws and British values, diversity is our downfall.

    While I was away, it felt like every other day brought another disastrous example back home of that downfall. See how our national laws are subservient to international laws that few other countries bother to abide by. A double killer by the name of Fuad Awale, who took a prison officer hostage, won compensation and legal costs on human rights grounds because he was “depressed” after being put in solitary confinement. The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) prioritised the rights of a murderer to hang out with other extremists over the rights of prison officers not to get attacked. Utterly mental.

    Meanwhile, the Prime Minister and other international human rights dopes issued a warm welcome to freed British-Egyptian prisoner Alaa Abd El-Fattah who turned out to have posted vile anti-Semitic and anti-white messages, calling the citizens of this country “dogs and monkeys”. But we’ve let him in now so too bad, eh?

    To meet diversity targets, the Metropolitan Police recruited scores of ethnic minority officers who had failed background checks, including a man who was accused (later convicted) of raping a child.

    I could go on… and on. Of all these appalling individuals, however, the one that best represents everything that is wrong with Britain today is Craig Guildford, the Chief Constable of the West Midlands. Whether through a sense of moral superiority prevalent among senior echelons of the police who believe that enforcing diversity is their solemn duty, or whether out of fear of civil unrest, it is clear that the Chief Constable and his team chose to bow down to Islamists when they banned fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv from a match in Birmingham and put it about that violent Jewish supporters were the problem.

    It was horrifying, if not surprising, to learn that the chief executive of a controversial mosque that advised on the ban of Israeli fans was also on the panel that helped appoint Mr Guildford as Chief Constable. How cosy! Mr Guildford, who looks like the Pillsbury Doughboy’s creepy uncle, showed no remorse when he testified for a second time to a Commons select committee, merely saying he had not thought to mention there was a threat of members of the Muslim community taking up arms because no one had asked him about it.

    The revelation that West Midlands Police are completely captured by Islamists should have led to the immediate sacking of Craig Guildford and his entire force being put into special measures. Instead, we learn that this week Shabana Mahmood is “prepared to say that she has no confidence in the Chief Constable” if he is censured by a watchdog led by Sir Andy Cooke, His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary, who is investigating the Maccabi Tel Aviv decision.

    This is wretched, pitiful stuff from the Home Secretary. For crying out loud, we need a leader, not another lawyer. Mahmood should, at the very least, declare that she has no confidence in a police force which has appeased Jew haters and proved itself completely incapable of representing the interests of the British people who are heartily sick of their shared values being thrown under a bus for the sake of “the community”.

    Honestly, it’s enough to make you want to emigrate. If I had a young family, I would seriously consider moving to Australia. My time there was a reminder of how a high-trust, broadly cohesive society that is confident in its own values offers a great way of life. Everything works.

    Britain used to be that country. If we insist on unity instead of diversity, if we expel those who hate us, if we put our values and people first, I believe we can be again. With the Barmy Army singing Jerusalem and Joe Root making us believe all is not lost. Still not out, everything to play for. Perhaps.ENDS

    “sexualised images”
    Some women sexualise themselves by provocative clothing, then complain they get attention from men.
    On the 8pm GBnews headlines there was a video of Yvette Cooper giving Parliament a statement about Iran.
    Prominent in the shot were the two female Labour MPs .
    The one on the let you could see right up her skirt to the top of the outside of her thigh, as it was a skirt shorter than her knees.
    The one on the left also wore a short skirt which ended 4 inches above her hooker boots which come 2 inches past the top of her knees.

    With all the news going on it would have been the ideal time for the chief of the West Midlands to pick up his pension and walk – yet silence prevails – maybe the imams will give him the thumbs up down his mosque on Friday …
