    ‘Britain ‘crazy’ not to consider joining customs union, says Trade Secretary’

    Labour wants to hand us over to the EU and pay for it in another mad Chagosian style ‘deal’ against the peoples’ wishes and yet shouts loudly about Trump wanting to buy Greenland. If the EU wants us they should be made to pay us for joining not the other way around.

    Footstool Starmer has given up the UK to China as well as the Chagos Islands, given up Gibraltar to Spain, put our soldiers in the dock whilst favouring Irish terrorists and will undoubtedly hand over the Falklands given half a chance….whilst his minions busy themselves hollowing out industry and the economy, along with our society in a surrender to the Islamists.

    Some might think he wants nothing less than to destroy Britain.

    You don’t have to be the biggest Trump fan to admire the man’s amazing stamina…

    I caught the beginning of his speech early this afternoon. It was a classic. Trump was, as usual, blowing his own trumpet. “The economy is doing great…inflation is down…”

    Anyway, I made a pot of tea and had a bacon butty and decided to give the dog a walk. When I got home he was still at it. I had another cuppa, read a couple of chapters of my book, took another gander at GB News and he was still in full flow.

    I can’t imagine Joe Biden talking non stop for that amount of time and Obama would only manage it with a pre-scripted autocue. Trump stands there and just gives it out, seemingly off the cuff.

    He’s 80 this year. He has the energy of a man in his 40s. His wife is only 55 and is quite stunning.

    I don’t know what he’s taking, but I want some of it…

    “I will not yield,” Keir declared with great international seriousness. In the matter of Greenland he was a rock. It was his principles and values that would not yield. No, nor Britain’s, either. The prime minister would always protect our national interest and Britain’s values and principles would not yield under his custody.’

    Day 3 of the Montacutie’s hols with Jonny Dalek Dymond presenting. Lots of TDS with the whole programme taken up by President Trump’s visit to Davos*. Jonny Dalek Dymond covered President Trump’s opening speech to the Davos ‘congregation’ in full but brought on various figures such as Jens Stoltenberg, previous Secretary General of NATO to explain why President Trump’s desire to have Greenland as the 51st State of the USA is a bad idea. Others were brought on by Dalek Dymond to criticise President Trump.

    * Apparently Sir Keir Starmer has suddenly decided that Westminster is more important than Davos and he was at PMQs this morning.

      i’m amazed by this video. never has Paul been so enlightening.

      https://mjlc-europe.org/

      On 12 December 2016, fourteen European religious leaders – seven Jews and seven Muslims – met in Vienna, Austria to unite in a common prayer to God. With the goal of creating a union of intentions to serve the need, more urgent than ever in today’s Europe, to free religious people and religions from prejudice, false claims, attacks, and violence. These negative approaches obscure the true value and contribution that each religious tradition has the right and duty to contribute to European society.

      The European Muslim and Jewish Leadership Council (MJLC) regards it as her prime obligation to renew in Europe a culture of respect and appreciation of religious identities, specifically Judaism and Islam, beginning with the awareness of the essential patrimony which religious Traditions represent for every society and civilization.

      Furthermore, the Council’s joint Muslim-Jewish educational strategy facilitates intra-community and inter-community understanding and respect for Muslims and Jews in Europe, while establishing bridges to other religious communities and secular groups that share common values embodied within the Charter of Europe and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    This £70million migrant hotel thingy.
    It can hold 150 of them.
    That is half a normal days worth.
    We need another 729 of these hotels for this years incoming doctors, engineers and Northern Ireland Protocol Experts.
    And then, start again next year with another 730 … and so on and on and on …….

    I am probably exaggerating a little because the total incoming may ‘only’ be about 40/50 thousand meaning about 300 hotels per year.
    At £70million per hotel that makes a little over a couple of £billion per year for this years popper overs.

    ‘BBC to make shows for YouTube in landmark new deal’

    What’s interesting about the BBC’s own report is that it tells us content viewed outside the UK will have adverts but content viewed inside the UK will not…what it doesn’t say is if you need to pay the licence fee to watch that content…or is it freely available? and if so how so as all other content is not? Maybe the undocumented viewers will subsidise us…

    ‘The new programmes will feature adverts when viewed from outside the UK, generating extra funds for the corporation at a time when its future funding model is being debated.’

    Yep….no mention of any intent on limiting who sees the content in the UK…which may mean it is free….or they’re just not telling us the cunning plan that they have in mind….such as a licence fee to watch any of Youtube. They’d love that.

    You have to laugh…Youtube is beating the BBC and yet the BBC is going to teach Youtubers how to make programmes….suggest that might be the kiss of death…stay well away folks from the MSM way of doing things…..that’s half the reason I watch Youtube…they don’t do all the fancy tricks that MSM programme makers use that seem just designed to actually annoy you….though some Youtubers do try and copy that…and it’s fast forward.

    Some might think it was a sly plan to try and ‘capture’ people and influence them into the BBC worldview…to make programmes not just technically as the BBC would but also with the same BBC worldview.

    ‘Director general Tim Davie said it would help the BBC help “connect with audiences in new ways”.

    “We’re building from a strong start and this takes us to the next level, with bold homegrown content in formats audiences want on YouTube and an unprecedented training programme to upskill the next generation of YouTube creators from across the UK,” he added.’

    Chris Mason gushing on behalf of our arrogant, entitled and inconsistent government:

    “Within the government here in the UK, there is a quiet pride that Britain made its contribution to the welter of diplomacy European neighbours and others have been doing in recent days.

    I hear that the British diplomatic machine cranked up at every level: involving ministers, officials and embassies.

    The prime minister insisted on what he saw as the merits of “calm discussion” – but had to judge how to calibrate his response, both publicly and privately.

    At the core of this row, there was a fundamental public disagreement between Downing Street and the White House, something Sir Keir Starmer has sought to avoid where possible.

    But for him the integrity of a state – with Greenland’s future being for Greenlanders and Denmark to decide – was a non-negotiable bottom line.

    In the 48 hours or so since spelling that out explicitly, in front of the cameras, on Monday morning, risk hung in the air – could the carefully cultivated relationship with President Trump be uprooted before our eyes?”

    What a load of jingoist twaddle. What planet is he on? OK the useless W.Europe have found a sod of earth to cover up a turd, but that turd has teeth.

    Chris Cringing Mason does not explore one element of the turd which is a polar shift in international power which will leave W.Europe in a village football league with the Russians as neighbours. The turd maybe covered but it is an existential crisis.

    CCM then touches on the other aspect of the turd which is Chagos. By the day this looks more and more ridiculous, so much so that he should be concluding it should be dropped.

    CCM does not touch on how to resolve the two out puts of the turd. He does not refer to the substance just the narrative. – normal fare for an organisation that has metaphysically raped the UK political process.

    What the Media fails to cover is the slow bankruptcy of the USA.

    The Big Beautiful Bill raised the debt ceiling by 5 Trillion. That was forecast to run out about the time of the next presidential election.

    However – the cuts to government spending, 230k jobs lost, and the Tarriff income is not off-setting the continued government spending, driven by debt on interest.

    SO, Trump needs to do something, growth will help but not enough. that’s why he tried to played the increased Tarriff card before backing down.

      Published

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24473933

      “While more Chinese money is invested in the energy sector than in any other in Britain, China holds a number of investments elsewhere, including in Barclays Bank, BP, Diageo and Thames Water. Most are minority stakes, but it does have a controlling interest in some household names. For example, Bright Foods owns a 60% stake in Weetabix, the Wanda conglomerate owns 92% of Sunseeker boats, while Geely Automobile owns Manganese Bronze, the company that makes London taxis.

      Some of the companies listed below are not British firms, but the investments shown refer to assets based in Britain. For example, last year China Investment Corporation paid Ferrovial $700m to buy a 10% stake in Heathrow airport, and paid $400m to Deutsche Bank to take a stake in the bank’s London offices.”

    Top headline news at the BBC:

    Israeli strike in Gaza kills three journalists, first responders say
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98pnzp50nqo

    So here we have 3 journalists who we are told:
    ‘They are understood to have been working for an Egyptian relief organisation.’

    Classic BBC for making an assertion which does not have to be true : the ‘understood’ qualifier is quite deliberate and just means that’s what someone told them. Or maybe not : if it doesn’t need to be proven, the BBC have no problem with just making it up and adding an ‘uncertainty’ qualifier. It’s as morally corrupt as you can get but nobody can prove otherwise.

    Apparently these 3 men just happened to be in a car which the IDF identified as operating a drone. And it seems to me that a ‘journalist’ badge is about the best cover you could have in Gaza to be in possession of a drone whilst proclaiming your innocence. In my world, if they were in that location and a drone was being used, it might at least prompt some serious questions about why. But not at the BBC. The IDF claims are quickly dropped after just a couple of lines and we revert to the old outrage of Israel murdering innocent journalists.

    Meanwhile : not reported by the BBC at all:
    IDF finds weapons cache in Gaza tunnel shaft
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-finds-weapons-cache-in-gaza-tunnel-shaft/

    These are just blatant BBC lies by omission. Carefully calculated and legally vetted to ensure they stay within their charter and nobody can prove otherwise. What they ARE guilty of is deliberately misrepresenting the truth by not telling us the things which don’t fit their narrative and spending FAR for column space on the bits which do as they load them up with empathy. It’s dirty and absolutely unethical.

    That is what the BBC are to me now. A far-Left activist group who are very carefully staying within the limit of what their army of lawyers say they will be able to get away with – but constantly pushing that boundary out one nudge at a time.

        The letter released to coincide with the Davos economic summit has been signed by well known names including the actor Mark Ruffalo and the musician Brian Eno. They say that a “handful of global oligarchs with extreme wealth” have “cost everyone else everything else” and are driving society towards breakdown.”

        As millionaires who stand shoulder to shoulder with all people, we demand it. And as our elected representatives—whether it’s those of you at Davos, local councillors, city mayors, or regional leaders—it’s your duty to deliver it. So tax us. Tax the super rich.

      “The Prime Minister can call a general election at a time of their choosing by requesting a dissolution of Parliament from the Sovereign within the five-year life of a Parliament. The Government was elected by the British people on a mandate of change at the July 2024 general election.

      This Government remains focused on delivering the change the country voted for at the last General Election. Since coming into office, we have restored stability across government; and secured £340 billion of investment into our country.”
      We recognise people across the country want to see change in their everyday lives. As a result of the decisions this Government has taken, families will see £150 come off their energy bills this year, rail fares will remain frozen for the first time in 30 years and NHS prescription charges will be capped below £10.

      The Government will continue to deliver the manifesto of change that it was elected on.

    EXC: US Considering Cutting Intelligence Sharing If Starmer Continues With Chagos Deal

    The reality of the changing global order is getting real for Keir Starmer as the UK has declined to join Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’. Another Labour decision that will not go down well in DC…

    High-level US sources in the administration have suggested to Guido that the ultimate result of the UK continuing with Starmer’s botched Chagos deal could be that America cuts off a degree of vital intelligence sharing. This is the key lock that Trump has on Starmer, he is motivated enough to use it over Chagos…

    The issue is directly relevant as Diego Garcia is an active intelligence asset used by both US and UK forces. Individuals – including those with links to the US intelligence establishment – have confirmed that Trump’s ire is so severe with Starmer that a degree of cooperation “could be terminated”. It doesn’t matter what happens in Parliament if this route is activated…

    No10 refused yesterday to say that the US continues to support the Chagos deal. Something which Starmer’s spokesman had insisted even in aftermath of Trump’s attack…

    There’s not only huge diplomatic, parliamentary and public pressure to block the Chagos deal, but there’s also now pressure in the military community. Another Labour u-turn coming…

    Still nothing about Iran on the BBC Home page, despite it being the most consequential event of the year so far. It’s just relegated to a minor article in the Middle East section.

    Instead, the Home page is stuffed with Greenland headlines and thinly veiled criticism of Trump, such as “Fact-checking Trump’s Davos speech” and “Trump’s jibes are wearing thin for many of Europe’s leaders”.

    In the latter, they state: “Many people – from Brussels to Berlin to Paris – will have found his speech to be insulting,..”

    GOOD!

    All highly partisan from our ‘impartial’ broadcaster.

      The key thing it teaches me vlad is that the BBC don’t give a shit about any of those protestors who were killed in Iran.

      Which proves beyond any doubt at all that they don’t give a shit about who dies in Gaza either. They only pretend they do because of their anti-white agenda and anti-Jew racism.

      And once you realise that, you realise what absolute scumbag hypocrites these Leftist activists are. It’s difficult to imagine a lower form of life : they are ethically no better than the Muslim terrorists they protect.

      Then you can apply those same principles to everything else they say. And everything becomes clear. They are driven by hate. It’s that simple.

    It said on Thursday 27 people seeking asylum were moved into the Crowborough training camp, which will be scaled up to more than 500.

    The government said the move is part of its “mission to end the use of expensive hotels”.

    They all hate Trump…even the Telegraph….all are quick to try and say ‘Trump has backed down’ on tariffs and threats of invasion…..but did he mean it or was it the usual mad-minute negotiation stance that everyone knows he adopts? The plan was always to ‘backdown’….Trump wanted negotiations and he got them…he created a massive stir and kicked complacent arses into action as he has in so many other spheres…failing notably though with Putin of course.

    ‘Today’ had on ex-UN grandee Mark Griffiths who naturally was critical of Trump but also laid into the UN for its absolute failures in peace-making. Of the Trumpian ‘Board of Peace’ he said Gaza was perhaps not the easiest to solve, very difficult…unfortunately the presenter didn’t leap in there and ask why that might be…Hamas and the Palestinian intransigence and intent to wipe out Israel maybe? BBC probably not too keen to promote or verify that truth.
    Griffiths said the UN was useless at peacemaking…he’s said it before….

    ‘This new lack of relevance stems from a collapse in the UN’s most precious resource: its courage. The courage to lead. The courage to bring warring parties together. The courage to find solutions that combat impunity and are enforceable. The courage to try, and if necessary to fail, and try again.

    A culture of caution has seeped into the organisation, a sense of inertia and resignation in the face of political deadlock.’

    Which is why Trump the disruptor is so essential, love him or loathe him…he creates a sense of urgency and chaos out of which, hopefully, order comes…..no-one else does that or has done that for decades which is why things stagnate and Gaza was never solved as no-one has the courage to make difficult decisions…the next big one of course is if Hamas refuses to disarm as required by the next stage of the agreement. What will Trump do then? Will the BBC like it?

    They keep on chantering about the ‘world order’ never being the same…good….it failed us all and should go…and along with it perhaps its guardians like the BBC who have promoted and supported it without any genuine attempt to hold it accountable or to measure its actual effectiveness and success.

    As Frank Furedi says in Spiked….the Trump effect…

    ‘Europe’s holiday from history has come to an abrupt and painful end.’

    The phrase “The UK BARRACKS ARE OUR MOSQUES, mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, and the faithful our soldiers” is a famous quote recited by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in 1997, leading to his imprisonment for inciting religious hatred, reflecting his blend of political Islam and nationalist ideals against secularism, a key aspect of his political rise in Turkey.

    Erdoğan was jailed for four months in 1999 for reciting the lines, which Turkish courts deemed a violation of the country’s secular constitution.

    The United States demands that the Democratic Peoples Republic of Germany decriminalise doctors who respect the Nuremberg Code, Informed Consent, the Geneva Oath, Free Speech, Popular Democracy and the Hippocratic Oath, or else Trump will remind the German Reich that the United States has 35,068 active-duty U.S. troops stationed in Germany, which can quickly be increased to over 80,000 military personnel, in any operation needed to restore democracy to Germany.

    Germany is again rapidly becoming notorious for human rights violations against lawyers and doctors who questioned the nasty socialist COVID policies. The district prosecutor of Nuremberg, Petra Strohbach, was considering prosecuting Holocaust Survivor Vera Sharav, for comparing National Sozialdemokratische Germany with National Sozialistische Germany, after she delivered a powerful speech condemning National Sozialdemokratische Germany for medical experimentation without informed consent, and warning of a resurgence of totalitarianism and genocidal policies in Germany. The evil Sozialdemokratische thugs turned on Vera Sharav after she spoke at the 75th commemoration of the Nuremberg Code on August 20th, 2022.

    German doctors who did not recognise the state narrative of the “greatest pandemic of all time” (GRÖPAZ), contradicted it, refuted it, and reduced it to absurdity, were mercilessly defamed, hunted, existentially threatened, and punished with imprisonment by the nasty socialist state and its evil institutions. Double prosecution through chamber proceedings after criminal proceedings became almost the norm, in some cases resulting in the revocation of medical licenses. The courts were deaf to scientific and medical facts, and issued politically compliant judgements in line with modern day German nasty socialist ideology.

    In response to the return of German Nasty Socialism (NAZI), On January 10, 2026, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sent a message to Reich Health Minister, Nina Warken, telling her that “Reports from Germany show that the government is disregarding the autonomy of patients and restricting people’s ability to make medical decisions based on their own beliefs.” “I have learned that more than 1,000 German doctors and thousands of their patients are currently being prosecuted and punished for issuing exemptions from wearing masks or COVID-19 vaccinations during the pandemic.” “When a government criminalizes doctors for advising their patients, it crosses a line that free societies have always considered sacrosanct.”
