It gained notoriety because large sections of the document were plagiarized from an academic article written by Ibrahim al-Marashi, a PhD student at the time, without proper attribution.
Listening to Times last night and they were rerunning an interview with professional gob Cormack Smith who ‘works at the intersection of authentic leadership & effective communication. He travelled to Ukraine in 2016 to take up a special appointment as the ‘Strategic Communication Advisor’ to Pavlo Klimkin, the then Foreign Minister of Ukraine. ‘ lot of good he did there then]
He was of course railing against Trump and Greenland…Trump’s actions are illegal, dangerous, he’s a sociopath and a bully.
Apparently the way to deal with bullies like Trump is to punch them hard and they stop…so Europe and the world has to take a deep breath and take him on whatever it takes….life will be hard, sacrifices will have to be made but in the end it will all be worth it….whaaat? We’re going to war against America? Damn!
Hmmmm…so Ukraine then? What exactly has Europe done to ‘punch’ Putin and stop him in his tracks…apart from keeping on buying his oil and gas? Extremely reluctant to help out…not wanting to rattle Putin’s cage…prepared in fact to sacrfice Ukraine in the name of peace…of course it would be nice if Ukraine could somehow survive but…..ala Crimea.
So yeah…not a lot of punching going on there then….and Zelensky has noticed and noted this failure to help Ukraine in a meaningful way….as he said today…
‘Volodymyr Zelensky described Europe as a “fragmented kaleidoscope of small and middle powers” that have no plan to end the war.
The Ukrainian president also accused European leaders of engaging in “endless internal arguments” that prevented any solutions to end the war.
Mr Zelensky also said that he had been advised by European leaders to avoid bringing up US-made, long-range Tomahawk missiles “to avoid spoiling the mood”’
Note that very telling last comment.
Smith’s comments were all the more amusing as they were made before Trump came to agreement on Greenland….and thus the frothy mouthed, swivel-eyed rant was quickly shown to be nonsense and just another example of TDS.
Servant of the People[a] is a Ukrainian political satire comedy series created and produced by Volodymyr Zelenskyy.[1] Zelenskyy stars as Vasyl Petrovych Holoborodko, a high school history teacher in his thirties, who was unexpectedly elected president of Ukraine after finding instant fame when a student recorded a video of him delivering a profane rant against government corruption in his country and uploaded it to the internet

The scrutiny stemmed from his role as a founding partner of the hedge fund Theleme Partners, which was a major investor in Moderna

WEF launches investigation into founder Klaus Schwab
This article is more than 8 months old
Move comes after Schwab and his wife, Hilde, were reportedly accused of financial and ethical misconduct – which they deny https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/apr/24/wef-launches-investigation-into-founder-klaus-schwab
“Schwab, known as “Mr Davos”, founded the WEF in 1971. It hosts the annual conference in the Swiss ski resort, which draws prime ministers, CEOs, celebrities and top financiers.”
WEF launches investigation – investigates itself! HA HAH AH HAHA
They suggested she scheduled “token” meetings using WEF money to justify luxury travel at WEF’s expense. The letter claims that Hilde also maintained tight control over the use of Villa Mundi, a grand property bought by the WEF overlooking Lake Geneva, and that portions of the building were reserved for the family’s private access.
“A Somalian man named Mohammed took the podium in Maine to deliver a warning to Democrats

“My name is Mohamed. I’m speaking today on behalf of the Somali community in Lewiston. Some of you sitting here today, we voted for you. We elected you to protect our community interests, not creating division or go after one elected member from our community. This narrative, if this narrative continues, our community will be forced to re-examine our relationship or political relationship, including our relationship with the Democratic Party and who will be voting in the future.”
The Somalian man they are demanding they stop investigating is the Somalian refugee named Iman Osman who will be sworn into the Lewiston Maine City Council even though he’s under investigation for fraud and lied about his address to run for the seat
He’s

– Provided a false address to run for seat
– Lied about the address and reasoning

Britain’s army would run out of munitions just 10 days into a war, ex-defence minister tells Parliament
Defence minister James Heappey responded that the UK’s armed forces ‘remain fearsome’
“Yes, the UK does import some weapons and dual-use military items from China, despite an existing arms embargo on lethal arms to mainland China, with recent data showing China as a growing source for UK weapons imports, including components for drones and potentially sensitive tech via investment, raising significant security concerns within the UK government and military. “
Can you imagine Europe trying to fight Russia ? Poland would try hard – again – and get flattened again – the panic of Eastern Europe would be a repeat of WW2 …. No European country would last a week without US support ….. imagine if the US Pulled the plug… or sat on its hands like FDR did until the dirty japs forced him…
Fedup it might be unpleasant parked next to Russia but militarily they are pretty incompetent and even the pathetically underfunded European element of NATO would be able to stop a Russian incursion. Aside from poor leadership and logistics Putin is too weak to be able to enlist conscripts from the Moscow and St petersburg regions. Putin has to be careful. My view is that he would stop the war if he could. President Trump’s comment today may be based on something substantive (a glimpse of the blindingly possible). The sooner they staunch this sorry war the better. It is a meat grinder like the first world war that has probably taken over 1m lives, mostly non-core Russian males who did not stand a chance.
Non – I know Poland is tooling up faster than anyone else and have the sort of national pride being diluted in Blighty – but even so they are exposed and without the US link to Article 5 would anyone else help them out . ?
In president trumps ‘speech in Davos he said that 30 000 men were being lost every month in Ukraine- i assumed this was a combined number – but it seem really high if you judge by the coverage the blob here gives it …. All we hear is a few civilians killed by Russian missile strikes on random targets ….
….and all we heard about on the bBC is/was Gaza. Nothing about the meat grinder of Ukraine or the genocide of Sudan. UK citizens are fed a diet of issues that reflect the narrative and predelictions of a bunch of arrogant and entitled bBC ‘journalists’. Journalists who still believe (by defending their Trump video lies) that
narrative trumps fact.

Andrew Gwynne is about to resign. Andy Burnham is coming back.
Reports suggest the Gorton & Denton MP will quit today, clearing Burnham’s path back to Westminster. The media are treating this as routine political manoeuvring. Leadership ambitions, electoral arithmetic, Westminster games.
What they refuse to discuss is what Burnham actually did in Manchester. Seven years presiding over managed rape gang reviews and institutional protection. Seven years of sympathy without accountability. Seven years of covering up those responsible for the cover up.
If Burnham thinks he can return to Parliament without answering for that record, he’s wrong.
An Open Challenge to Andy Burnham and the Media Protecting Him
This is a direct challenge to
@AndyBurnhamGM
and to the journalists helping clear his path back to Westminster.
Burnham wants to return to Parliament. Position himself for Labour leadership. The polls show him ahead of Starmer as preferred Prime Minister. The path is being prepared. But first he needs to answer for what he did in Gtr Manchester. And the journalists smoothing his way need to explain why they refuse to ask the obvious questions.
Burnham’s Pakistani Rape Gang strategy was silence and managed reviews
Burnham’s defenders will point to his words. His statements about victims. His declarations of seriousness. His commitment to learning lessons. This is nothing but spin. Words mean nothing. Decisions matter.
Burnham commissioned reviews. Safe, managed, scope-limited reviews. When they were published, he went quiet for years. Only when this scandal exploded globally did he suddenly discover the urgent need for a national inquiry.
Why the long silence after his own reviews? Because he hoped it would all blow over? If so, this strategy has so far worked.
1. No institution faced real legal jeopardy.
2. No senior figure faced criminal scrutiny.
3. Time passed, public attention moved on, campaigners got exhausted.
Seven years Burnham had authority in Greater Manchester. Seven years and not one person in power faced consequences. Why?
Why the media won’t touch this?
Political journalists are treating Burnham’s return like the coming of a messiah. Look at today’s coverage of Gwynne’s resignation and how they are salivating over the King of the North.
They won’t touch the timeline. His decision-making. His contradictory statements. Why seven years failed to interview one rape gang survivor. Why not a single public official, police officer or politician has been held to account
They know exactly what they’re doing. Examine Burnham’s record honestly and he stops being a leadership contender. He becomes what he actually is. A case study in how Britain’s establishment helped cover up the industrial scale gang rape of the nation’s children.
Escaping accountability
Burnham’s return to Westminster isn’t about representing Gorton & Denton. It’s about escaping accountability. Moving from local responsibility to national abstraction. From concrete failure to manageable politics.
The standard British establishment playbook. Don’t remove the people who preside over cover-ups. Promote them. Give them bigger jobs. Let time and distance do the work. Rely on journalists to forget what actually happened in exchange for future access.
What happens next
Burnham can publish everything. Every decision, every timeline, every piece of evidence that informed his choices. He can explain the silence. Justify the managed reviews. Account for the complete absence of accountability.
He can, if he has the courage to do so, stop hiding behind his keyboard and meet me in public. He won’t do any of these things because he knows the establishment media is actively protecting him and will continue clearing the path. Smoothing the return. Pretending Burnham’s role in the rape gang cover up doesn’t exist.
Not only will events, over the coming months, determine whether covering up the Pakistani Rape Gangs is career ending or a qualification for higher office, it will show, if there was any doubt, just what role the establishment media really plays in modern day Britain.
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 free doctors, lawyers and holocaust survivors imprisoned by the Göttingen Regional Court or the district prosecutor of Nuremberg, Petra Strohbach.
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can request Trump to send in US troops to free German doctors, lawyers and holocaust survivors impisoned by the Reich authorities. The World Council for Health, the Nuremberg Code Society and holocaust survivors lead by Vera Sharav, have demanded the immediate release of Dr. Reiner Füellmich, a lawyer and prominent critic of COVID-19 measures, who has been incarcerated by Germany since October 2023. Forces at the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden have detailed plans and are ready to storm Rosdorf Prison, and free Füellmich from the German Reichs high-security facility near Göttingen.
Headline…. “ICE detain 5 year old and father in Minnesota, lawyer says”.
See what they did there? The truth is that they were arresting the father because he was an illegal immigrant which is their job! The agents were obliged to take control of the child for its own safety and were NOT arresting the child.
Classic BBC obfuscation to tilt the story in the way they want you to believe it.
Horrible Trump agents stoop to arresting 5 year old children!
Interesting discussion about the gorton Burnham situation on the 5pm news . Apparently the Marxist NEC has to approve the candidate for the free seat – and the NEC is majority TTK supporters ..
So they might impose restrictions on the candidate such as an all wimmin short list – or coloured types .
Looks like Burnham needs to wear a skirt and colour up …
Another example of wishy-washy thinking was new recruit Bobby Jenrick on Talk radio yesterday. Amidst a lot of good and useful stuff, he stated that he ‘wanted to live in a multi-ethnic Britain?’. Why? What benefits does this bring to the WISE People (Welsh, Irish, Scottish, English)? There’s a difference between tolerating other ethnic groups (and encouraging assimilation, removing colonists, and ensuring that the native groups are culturally and politically dominant) as opposed to wanting to live in a fragmented country.
Labour still currying favour with the Muslim voter….keep the terrorists armed….
‘Starmer’s security chief Jonathan Powell says Hamas should keep some guns during peace process’
Powell of course being the man who didn’t want any fuss about China spying.
No comment from the BBC yet…I’m sure they’ll catch up….and they’re definitely not keen to highlight Zelensky’s extremely critical comments about the EU pandering to Russia and failing to support Ukraine to any proper extent for some reason.
Why is this the third biggest story in the world today according to the BBC?
‘ICE detains 5-year-old and father in Minnesota, lawyer says’
Illegal immigrant is detained and his son is not ‘detained’ but kept safe by officers until they can find a relative to look after him….what were they to do…just leave him in the street?
This is a non-story that is being hyped by deliberately loose language…the BBC claims the 5 year old boy is ‘detained’, ie arrested, when he certainly was not…obviously.
The BBC helping to spread dangerous disinformation….as always….and even in this report about the boy they slip in this provocative comment…
‘On 7 January, a federal officer fatally shot a woman named Renee Good in Minneapolis, sparking nationwide protest and condemnation from local and state officials.
The Trump administration alleged the woman was using her vehicle as a weapon and the officer acted in self-defence.’
‘Alleged’? Nah…numerous videos from many angles show the car being driven at and into the officer…who was injured and had to go to hospital. Why does the BBC not add that little truth onto its comment if it feels the need to comment at all?
It’s reassuring to know that every driver in the UK under the age of 70 has perfect vision as opposed to those over 70’s who must be tested to be allowed to drive.
We are told we cannot return the channel popper overs. They chuck their passports into the sea etc. and we don’t know where to return them to.
The simple solution is this.
They are coming from France illegally so we have every right to refuse to accept them and therefore must be returned to France where they came from.
It’s up to France to return these people back along the chain to the Country from where they entered France.
If they don’t know that it’s their problem not ours.
If you travelled to France without your passport they would not let you enter and you would need to return to the UK.
Any dinghy boys without the correct paperwork should be politely refused entry and returned to the Country they left from. (France)
One of the things I hate about the BBC is the sheer amount of casual “en passant” bias in its summaries of past events anterior to current news. These little distortions can easily go by unnoticed, if you’re not paying attention.
For instance: earlier this week, I caught a Radio 4 news bulletin which recapped (i.e misrepresented) for us the Craig Guildford / Aston Villa v Maccabi match-policing controversy. The newsreader said that the W. Midlands Chief Constable had retired after giving “inaccurate” information. However, “inaccurate” hardly does justice to what happened.
“Inaccurate” would be if I said inflation was 4% when it was, say, 3.6% or if I said two dozen had died in the Spanish train disaster instead of 39 (e.g. if I quoted the first reports from the Sunday evening … before the higher figure emerged.)
What Craig Guildford said was deceitful, deliberately misleading and fabricated, whatever the involvement of AI (which was later blamed as an excuse). The Amsterdam police did NOT tell his force what Guildford claimed about the cause of troubles when Maccabi fans were attacked by Muslims when their team was playing there. Nor was there any game between West Ham and Maccabi that could provide any precedent about policing tactics. The claims of threats to Birmingham (Aston) Muslims by any visiting fans were the inverse of the real probability, since local Muslims would greatly outnumber visiting Israeli fans, even if they chose (or were allowed) to attend.
Another casual misrepresentation came from Nick Robinson on Today a while ago. He glibly referred to “eye-watering” austerity when G. Osborne was Chancellor (2010-16). No context about why some retrenchment was necessary after the Blair-Brown debauchery. No acknowledgement that the government in 2010-15 was in any case a coalition and that the Lib Dems (Clegg, D. Alexander and co.) deserved to share any credit/blame for limiting spending with their Tory senior partners. And a stupid emotive exaggeration about what was in truth a modest reduction in spending, of which Marxists like Robinson would of course always disapprove, safe in their bloated salaries and security of tenure at BBC-Pravda.
There’s a new comedy show on radio 4 – it’s called ‘political thinking ‘ – tomorrow – at 9am – the guest is David Lammy – at 9 01 am there’s another programme on …
The Marxists are to announce police forces are to be reduced from 43 to 10 next week … a lot of golden good byes for corrupt chief Constables – maybe West Midlands will be a gonna …. the new religious police areas will be halal …
And so it worsens after the President of the Conference of European Rabbis at the WEF admitted to replacing the old Europeans and working hand-in-hand with the Muslims, now Tommy Robinson is desperately trying to spin a positive angle on it and failing.
Who is this "President of the Conference of European Rabbis"?
There's no such thing as "old Europeans" nor will there ever be "new Europeans".
Only Europeans.
Imagine saying this about any other group of people?
Robinson feigns “who is [he]” when he know prefectly well who he is…
“Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt is the President of the Conference of European Rabbis (CER), having held the position since July 2011. He is a prominent leader in European Jewry, focusing on Jewish continuity, fighting antisemitism, and fostering [b]interfaith dialogue[/b].
Role: He has led the CER—which represents over 700 rabbis across Europe—since 2011, succeeding Rabbi Joseph Sitruk.”
This is the top Rabbi for Europe. Robinson has said many times he is a Jew. No way would he not know of this man.
The has been a very sad week. I wanted to believe for so long that Jewish involvement in immigration was just a conspiracy theory, but it is clear that it isn’t. Thats not even mentioning the huge presence of Jewish backed NGO supporting immigration to Europe.
Coupled with Farage and Reform transforming into a worse version of the Tories, I have to admit it’s over for us.
How can the BBC afford it? Oh I forgot, the BBC doesn’t have to worry about money as it is wasteful on the back of its unique funding of the TellyTax. Leanna Byrne is the new girl for BBC Business on the TOADY prog despite their having two presenters for Business already, Will & Felicity.
Will and Felicity both unavailable? That is a black mark for the HR Department of the BBC!
Dale Vince running out of other people’s money? I really hope so – there’s an off grid beat up caravan / rotten tepee in remote mid Wales with his name on it…

“Trump responded to UK and European concerns over Greenland, says Lammy” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm244zlnmkvo
Donald Trump backed down from his threats on Greenland because the UK stood up for the Danish territory’s sovereignty, David Lammy has told the BBC.
I solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Union of South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon, and of my Possessions and the other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs.
I will to my power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all my judgements.
I will to the utmost of my power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel. I will to the utmost of my power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law. And I will maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England. And I will preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them.
The things which I have here before promised, I will perform and keep.
I dreamt of a King on his steed on Kent beaches slashing dinghies with his sabre then swimming across the channel to the source of the invasion, the Jupiter King President Macron.
I awoke to a King swirling in a toilet like a discarded tampax, the the last words of the tampax King where “We have no borders, windfarms are a blot but bring me money. Inshallah.”

Rachel Reeves says those with broadest shoulders should pay fair share of tax (Guardian, October 2025)
The socialist Robin Hood story… Tax the ‘Rich’ to give to the ‘Poor’… I wonder how that’s likely to work out for our First Chancellor in tights (at least in the modern age) ?
Paris tax grab disappoints… A special income tax on France’s high earners last year raised a fraction of what the government hoped for and proceeds this year are again expected to be lower than budgeted (FT)
Truth is that massive and growing government spending has to be paid for with borrowing, money printing and high tax on the middling sort – these fiscal policies wreck the economy. We may vote for gimmies – yet in our hearts, we know it.
Ten years since consumer confidence was positive… in the doldrums… (FT)
The excuses, in this morning’s corporate crony, liberal globalist Financial Times, read like stationery cupboard manager Rachel’s crib sheet: …the Brexit vote… Covid hurt sentiment further and the cost of living crisis triggered another fall – regular readers hereabouts will recall your Mr AsI’s contention that the FT ought to rebrand itself The Brussels Trumpet or perhaps The Mid-Belgian Advertiser & Commentator – any adverse economic shock post-Brexit was designed by way of a punishment beating – Covid aka Lockdown was a government policy choice – and Cost of Living Crisis is reeled out here like an adverse weather phenomena (and we’ve all heard how those are actually the fault of us humans)

Wise lawyers used to say hard cases make bad law – yet the Graun makes its case today with an example from another distant jurisdiction: Minnesota… Five-year-old boy held by ICE as he gets home from school – School, no doubt at the American tax payers expense – which is about where we came in this morning.

‘More recently, the European Union had begun using economic integration as weapons. Tariffs as leverage. Financial infrastructure as coercion. Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.
You cannot “live within the lie” of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.’
Amazing…arch Remainer, and er Canadian, Mark Carney has suddenly flipflopped and become a proud Brexiteer who espouses the glories and necessity of sovereignty recognising that in a supposedly happily integrated group of countries the rules are bent by the powerful rulers and they use political and economic muscle to oppress and subjugate member countries to their will and if you step out of line….crush you.
‘Today, I’ll talk about the rupture in the European order, the end of a nice story and the beginning of a brutal reality where geopolitics among the great powers is not subject to any constraints.
There is a strong tendency for countries to go along to get along. To accommodate. To avoid trouble. To hope that compliance will buy safety.
In 1978, the Czech dissident Václav Havel, later president, wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless. And in it, he asked a simple question: How did the communist system sustain itself?
And his answer began with a greengrocer. Every morning, this shopkeeper places a sign in his window: “Workers of the world, unite!” He doesn’t believe it. No one does. But he places the sign anyway to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists.
Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false.
Havel called this “living within a lie.” The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true. And its fragility comes from the same source: when even one person stops performing — when the greengrocer removes his sign — the illusion begins to crack.
Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down.
For decades, countries like Britain prospered under what we called the rules-based European Union. We joined its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection.
We knew the story of the European rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.
This fiction was useful. And EU hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods: open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.
So, we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.
This bargain no longer works.
More recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons. Tariffs as leverage. Financial infrastructure as coercion. Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.
You cannot “live within the lie” of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.
And as a result, many countries are drawing the same conclusions — that they must develop greater strategic autonomy: in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance and supply chains.
And this impulse is understandable. A country that cannot feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself.’
Naturally Carney was talking about Trump and the supposedly new world order….though America has never exactly been a truly benevolent and kindly country….but what he says applies equally to the EU and how it treats member countries…forcing them to vote again when it doesn’t like the results of ballots and using economic muscle, tariffs, rules and regulations and even travel requirements to cause as much trouble as possible for Brexit Britain as a punishment for leaving.
And of course that “living within a lie” method of enforcing silence and mute ‘acceptance’ is how we are made to toe the line on issues such as immigration, Islam, race and trans when all institutions through government, academia, media and business all adopt the approved orthodoxy despite knowing it to be a lie….such as ‘Islam is peace’…and ‘a woman can have a penis’.
Speak up and you know you will be publicly lynched by the media, be cancelled and lose your job…if not actually thrown in prison ala Tommy Robinson whose treatment is scarily so very Soviet Union.
‘”At a time when I was producing an award-winning LGBTQ+ show for the BBC, I was being subjected to the kind of homophobic and bigoted behaviours from BBC staff members that would have been unacceptable decades ago – let alone in a modern workplace,” he said.
He added: “I am glad that the BBC has finally admitted that people in positions of power created and sustained an environment in which my abuse was explicitly and implicitly tolerated by those who should have been expected to stop it.”‘

Alastair Campbell had Iraq dossier changed to fit US claims
This article is more than 16 years old
‘WMD in a year’ allegation halved original timescale after compilers told to compare contents with Bush speech
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/jan/10/alastair-campbell-iraq-dossier-inquiry
It gained notoriety because large sections of the document were plagiarized from an academic article written by Ibrahim al-Marashi, a PhD student at the time, without proper attribution.
Listening to Times last night and they were rerunning an interview with professional gob Cormack Smith who ‘works at the intersection of authentic leadership & effective communication. He travelled to Ukraine in 2016 to take up a special appointment as the ‘Strategic Communication Advisor’ to Pavlo Klimkin, the then Foreign Minister of Ukraine. ‘ lot of good he did there then]
He was of course railing against Trump and Greenland…Trump’s actions are illegal, dangerous, he’s a sociopath and a bully.
Apparently the way to deal with bullies like Trump is to punch them hard and they stop…so Europe and the world has to take a deep breath and take him on whatever it takes….life will be hard, sacrifices will have to be made but in the end it will all be worth it….whaaat? We’re going to war against America? Damn!
Hmmmm…so Ukraine then? What exactly has Europe done to ‘punch’ Putin and stop him in his tracks…apart from keeping on buying his oil and gas? Extremely reluctant to help out…not wanting to rattle Putin’s cage…prepared in fact to sacrfice Ukraine in the name of peace…of course it would be nice if Ukraine could somehow survive but…..ala Crimea.
So yeah…not a lot of punching going on there then….and Zelensky has noticed and noted this failure to help Ukraine in a meaningful way….as he said today…
‘Volodymyr Zelensky described Europe as a “fragmented kaleidoscope of small and middle powers” that have no plan to end the war.
The Ukrainian president also accused European leaders of engaging in “endless internal arguments” that prevented any solutions to end the war.
Mr Zelensky also said that he had been advised by European leaders to avoid bringing up US-made, long-range Tomahawk missiles “to avoid spoiling the mood”’
Note that very telling last comment.
Smith’s comments were all the more amusing as they were made before Trump came to agreement on Greenland….and thus the frothy mouthed, swivel-eyed rant was quickly shown to be nonsense and just another example of TDS.

Servant of the People[a] is a Ukrainian political satire comedy series created and produced by Volodymyr Zelenskyy.[1] Zelenskyy stars as Vasyl Petrovych Holoborodko, a high school history teacher in his thirties, who was unexpectedly elected president of Ukraine after finding instant fame when a student recorded a video of him delivering a profane rant against government corruption in his country and uploaded it to the internet

WEF launches investigation into founder Klaus Schwab
This article is more than 8 months old
Move comes after Schwab and his wife, Hilde, were reportedly accused of financial and ethical misconduct – which they deny
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/apr/24/wef-launches-investigation-into-founder-klaus-schwab
“Schwab, known as “Mr Davos”, founded the WEF in 1971. It hosts the annual conference in the Swiss ski resort, which draws prime ministers, CEOs, celebrities and top financiers.”
WEF launches investigation – investigates itself! HA HAH AH HAHA
They suggested she scheduled “token” meetings using WEF money to justify luxury travel at WEF’s expense. The letter claims that Hilde also maintained tight control over the use of Villa Mundi, a grand property bought by the WEF overlooking Lake Geneva, and that portions of the building were reserved for the family’s private access.
“A Somalian man named Mohammed took the podium in Maine to deliver a warning to Democrats

“My name is Mohamed. I’m speaking today on behalf of the Somali community in Lewiston. Some of you sitting here today, we voted for you. We elected you to protect our community interests, not creating division or go after one elected member from our community. This narrative, if this narrative continues, our community will be forced to re-examine our relationship or political relationship, including our relationship with the Democratic Party and who will be voting in the future.”
The Somalian man they are demanding they stop investigating is the Somalian refugee named Iman Osman who will be sworn into the Lewiston Maine City Council even though he’s under investigation for fraud and lied about his address to run for the seat
He’s

– Provided a false address to run for seat
– Lied about the address and reasoning

Britain’s army would run out of munitions just 10 days into a war, ex-defence minister tells Parliament
Defence minister James Heappey responded that the UK’s armed forces ‘remain fearsome’
Are British Army munitions manufactured in China?
“Yes, the UK does import some weapons and dual-use military items from China, despite an existing arms embargo on lethal arms to mainland China, with recent data showing China as a growing source for UK weapons imports, including components for drones and potentially sensitive tech via investment, raising significant security concerns within the UK government and military. “
Can you imagine Europe trying to fight Russia ? Poland would try hard – again – and get flattened again – the panic of Eastern Europe would be a repeat of WW2 …. No European country would last a week without US support ….. imagine if the US Pulled the plug… or sat on its hands like FDR did until the dirty japs forced him…
Fedup it might be unpleasant parked next to Russia but militarily they are pretty incompetent and even the pathetically underfunded European element of NATO would be able to stop a Russian incursion. Aside from poor leadership and logistics Putin is too weak to be able to enlist conscripts from the Moscow and St petersburg regions. Putin has to be careful. My view is that he would stop the war if he could. President Trump’s comment today may be based on something substantive (a glimpse of the blindingly possible). The sooner they staunch this sorry war the better. It is a meat grinder like the first world war that has probably taken over 1m lives, mostly non-core Russian males who did not stand a chance.
Non – I know Poland is tooling up faster than anyone else and have the sort of national pride being diluted in Blighty – but even so they are exposed and without the US link to Article 5 would anyone else help them out . ?
In president trumps ‘speech in Davos he said that 30 000 men were being lost every month in Ukraine- i assumed this was a combined number – but it seem really high if you judge by the coverage the blob here gives it …. All we hear is a few civilians killed by Russian missile strikes on random targets ….
….and all we heard about on the bBC is/was Gaza. Nothing about the meat grinder of Ukraine or the genocide of Sudan. UK citizens are fed a diet of issues that reflect the narrative and predelictions of a bunch of arrogant and entitled bBC ‘journalists’. Journalists who still believe (by defending their Trump video lies) that
narrative trumps fact.

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can request Trump to send in US troops to free German doctors, lawyers and holocaust survivors impisoned by the Reich authorities. The World Council for Health, the Nuremberg Code Society and holocaust survivors lead by Vera Sharav, have demanded the immediate release of Dr. Reiner Füellmich, a lawyer and prominent critic of COVID-19 measures, who has been incarcerated by Germany since October 2023. Forces at the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden have detailed plans and are ready to storm Rosdorf Prison, and free Füellmich from the German Reichs high-security facility near Göttingen.

Another example of wishy-washy thinking was new recruit Bobby Jenrick on Talk radio yesterday. Amidst a lot of good and useful stuff, he stated that he ‘wanted to live in a multi-ethnic Britain?’. Why? What benefits does this bring to the WISE People (Welsh, Irish, Scottish, English)? There’s a difference between tolerating other ethnic groups (and encouraging assimilation, removing colonists, and ensuring that the native groups are culturally and politically dominant) as opposed to wanting to live in a fragmented country.

No comment from the BBC yet…I’m sure they’ll catch up….and they’re definitely not keen to highlight Zelensky’s extremely critical comments about the EU pandering to Russia and failing to support Ukraine to any proper extent for some reason.
Why is this the third biggest story in the world today according to the BBC?
‘ICE detains 5-year-old and father in Minnesota, lawyer says’
Illegal immigrant is detained and his son is not ‘detained’ but kept safe by officers until they can find a relative to look after him….what were they to do…just leave him in the street?
This is a non-story that is being hyped by deliberately loose language…the BBC claims the 5 year old boy is ‘detained’, ie arrested, when he certainly was not…obviously.
The BBC helping to spread dangerous disinformation….as always….and even in this report about the boy they slip in this provocative comment…
‘On 7 January, a federal officer fatally shot a woman named Renee Good in Minneapolis, sparking nationwide protest and condemnation from local and state officials.
The Trump administration alleged the woman was using her vehicle as a weapon and the officer acted in self-defence.’
‘Alleged’? Nah…numerous videos from many angles show the car being driven at and into the officer…who was injured and had to go to hospital. Why does the BBC not add that little truth onto its comment if it feels the need to comment at all?
It’s reassuring to know that every driver in the UK under the age of 70 has perfect vision as opposed to those over 70’s who must be tested to be allowed to drive.
We are told we cannot return the channel popper overs. They chuck their passports into the sea etc. and we don’t know where to return them to.
The simple solution is this.

It’s up to France to return these people back along the chain to the Country from where they entered France.
If they don’t know that it’s their problem not ours.
If you travelled to France without your passport they would not let you enter and you would need to return to the UK.
Any dinghy boys without the correct paperwork should be politely refused entry and returned to the Country they left from. (France)

France seizes suspected Russian ‘shadow fleet’ oil tanker but cannot stop one dinghy?! HA HAH AH HA
One of the things I hate about the BBC is the sheer amount of casual “en passant” bias in its summaries of past events anterior to current news. These little distortions can easily go by unnoticed, if you’re not paying attention.
For instance: earlier this week, I caught a Radio 4 news bulletin which recapped (i.e misrepresented) for us the Craig Guildford / Aston Villa v Maccabi match-policing controversy. The newsreader said that the W. Midlands Chief Constable had retired after giving “inaccurate” information. However, “inaccurate” hardly does justice to what happened.
“Inaccurate” would be if I said inflation was 4% when it was, say, 3.6% or if I said two dozen had died in the Spanish train disaster instead of 39 (e.g. if I quoted the first reports from the Sunday evening … before the higher figure emerged.)
What Craig Guildford said was deceitful, deliberately misleading and fabricated, whatever the involvement of AI (which was later blamed as an excuse). The Amsterdam police did NOT tell his force what Guildford claimed about the cause of troubles when Maccabi fans were attacked by Muslims when their team was playing there. Nor was there any game between West Ham and Maccabi that could provide any precedent about policing tactics. The claims of threats to Birmingham (Aston) Muslims by any visiting fans were the inverse of the real probability, since local Muslims would greatly outnumber visiting Israeli fans, even if they chose (or were allowed) to attend.
Another casual misrepresentation came from Nick Robinson on Today a while ago. He glibly referred to “eye-watering” austerity when G. Osborne was Chancellor (2010-16). No context about why some retrenchment was necessary after the Blair-Brown debauchery. No acknowledgement that the government in 2010-15 was in any case a coalition and that the Lib Dems (Clegg, D. Alexander and co.) deserved to share any credit/blame for limiting spending with their Tory senior partners. And a stupid emotive exaggeration about what was in truth a modest reduction in spending, of which Marxists like Robinson would of course always disapprove, safe in their bloated salaries and security of tenure at BBC-Pravda.
There’s a new comedy show on radio 4 – it’s called ‘political thinking ‘ – tomorrow – at 9am – the guest is David Lammy – at 9 01 am there’s another programme on …
Political Thought, Ep. 1: “Racists!”
FIN
‘As a blackman who comes from a long line of slaves….’
The Marxists are to announce police forces are to be reduced from 43 to 10 next week … a lot of golden good byes for corrupt chief Constables – maybe West Midlands will be a gonna …. the new religious police areas will be halal …
Given the evidence already in – you’re probably correct there
And so it worsens after the President of the Conference of European Rabbis at the WEF admitted to replacing the old Europeans and working hand-in-hand with the Muslims, now Tommy Robinson is desperately trying to spin a positive angle on it and failing.
Robinson feigns “who is [he]” when he know prefectly well who he is…
“Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt is the President of the Conference of European Rabbis (CER), having held the position since July 2011. He is a prominent leader in European Jewry, focusing on Jewish continuity, fighting antisemitism, and fostering [b]interfaith dialogue[/b].
Role: He has led the CER—which represents over 700 rabbis across Europe—since 2011, succeeding Rabbi Joseph Sitruk.”
This is the top Rabbi for Europe. Robinson has said many times he is a Jew. No way would he not know of this man.
The has been a very sad week. I wanted to believe for so long that Jewish involvement in immigration was just a conspiracy theory, but it is clear that it isn’t. Thats not even mentioning the huge presence of Jewish backed NGO supporting immigration to Europe.
Coupled with Farage and Reform transforming into a worse version of the Tories, I have to admit it’s over for us.

Rachel Reeves says those with broadest shoulders should pay fair share of tax (Guardian, October 2025)
The socialist Robin Hood story… Tax the ‘Rich’ to give to the ‘Poor’… I wonder how that’s likely to work out for our First Chancellor in tights (at least in the modern age) ?
Paris tax grab disappoints… A special income tax on France’s high earners last year raised a fraction of what the government hoped for and proceeds this year are again expected to be lower than budgeted (FT)
Truth is that massive and growing government spending has to be paid for with borrowing, money printing and high tax on the middling sort – these fiscal policies wreck the economy. We may vote for gimmies – yet in our hearts, we know it.
Ten years since consumer confidence was positive… in the doldrums… (FT)
The excuses, in this morning’s corporate crony, liberal globalist Financial Times, read like stationery cupboard manager Rachel’s crib sheet: …the Brexit vote… Covid hurt sentiment further and the cost of living crisis triggered another fall – regular readers hereabouts will recall your Mr AsI’s contention that the FT ought to rebrand itself The Brussels Trumpet or perhaps The Mid-Belgian Advertiser & Commentator – any adverse economic shock post-Brexit was designed by way of a punishment beating – Covid aka Lockdown was a government policy choice – and Cost of Living Crisis is reeled out here like an adverse weather phenomena (and we’ve all heard how those are actually the fault of us humans)
I’ve got a small fortune riding on a wager that Shamima Begum (last of the Three Mosqueteers) will return to Blighty this year. The Guardian is my friend here: Hunger and uncertainty in Syrian camp for IS families… The children crowded the wire fence… Their mothers, foreigners who allegedly joined Islamic State (IS) and its blood-soaked caliphate, stood silently behind them… their belongings packed in a bag beside them, ready to leave at a moment’s notice (William Christou, Guardian)
The BBC, naturally, are doing their bit to help me win my bet: UN to take over al-Hol camp for IS families in Syria after unrest… holding thousands of people with alleged links to the jihadist group Islamic State (IS). (Rachel Hagan, BBC)
One can’t help but note how a memo appears to have done the rounds insisting these IS folks held captive in the camps are only ‘Alleged IS’
Birds of a feather
Lefty journos tend to move like a shoal of sardines, twisting in unison, first this way, then that… Ceasefire in Gaza… Continue the war in Ukraine… Small Boats… Migrants welcome: Comin’ over ‘ere… Bird lovers brace for migration bonanza (i paper) – the left-leaning junior Gruan that is the i paper twitches (in the ornithological sense of the word) with laughter as it mocks us gammons and our knuckle dragging antipathy to migrants – even spoofin’ the way us speak. Check your old dictionary definition and you’ll learn migration used to mean just a temporary visit.
Wise lawyers used to say hard cases make bad law – yet the Graun makes its case today with an example from another distant jurisdiction: Minnesota… Five-year-old boy held by ICE as he gets home from school – School, no doubt at the American tax payers expense – which is about where we came in this morning.
Thank goodness we’ve got over all that blood and soil nationalistic nonesense…
The puppet pulls the strings
‘It’s all about the land’: Zelensky says Ukraine to talk to US and Russia… Zelensky at Davos on Thursday (Paul Kirby, Europe digital editor, BBC)

I did not notice this, which shows how blind we can be when listening…. “Trump appears to confuse Greenland with Iceland in speech on taking territory. President repeats his ambition of taking Danish territory in front of world leaders in Davos, Switzerland” … normally it would be Biden/Harris making these mistakes.

‘More recently, the European Union had begun using economic integration as weapons. Tariffs as leverage. Financial infrastructure as coercion. Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.
You cannot “live within the lie” of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.’
Amazing…arch Remainer, and er Canadian, Mark Carney has suddenly flipflopped and become a proud Brexiteer who espouses the glories and necessity of sovereignty recognising that in a supposedly happily integrated group of countries the rules are bent by the powerful rulers and they use political and economic muscle to oppress and subjugate member countries to their will and if you step out of line….crush you.
‘Today, I’ll talk about the rupture in the European order, the end of a nice story and the beginning of a brutal reality where geopolitics among the great powers is not subject to any constraints.
There is a strong tendency for countries to go along to get along. To accommodate. To avoid trouble. To hope that compliance will buy safety.
In 1978, the Czech dissident Václav Havel, later president, wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless. And in it, he asked a simple question: How did the communist system sustain itself?
And his answer began with a greengrocer. Every morning, this shopkeeper places a sign in his window: “Workers of the world, unite!” He doesn’t believe it. No one does. But he places the sign anyway to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists.
Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false.
Havel called this “living within a lie.” The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true. And its fragility comes from the same source: when even one person stops performing — when the greengrocer removes his sign — the illusion begins to crack.
Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down.
For decades, countries like Britain prospered under what we called the rules-based European Union. We joined its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection.
We knew the story of the European rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.
This fiction was useful. And EU hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods: open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.
So, we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.
This bargain no longer works.
More recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons. Tariffs as leverage. Financial infrastructure as coercion. Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.
You cannot “live within the lie” of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.
And as a result, many countries are drawing the same conclusions — that they must develop greater strategic autonomy: in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance and supply chains.
And this impulse is understandable. A country that cannot feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself.’
Naturally Carney was talking about Trump and the supposedly new world order….though America has never exactly been a truly benevolent and kindly country….but what he says applies equally to the EU and how it treats member countries…forcing them to vote again when it doesn’t like the results of ballots and using economic muscle, tariffs, rules and regulations and even travel requirements to cause as much trouble as possible for Brexit Britain as a punishment for leaving.
Oddly no-one, of course, cares to mention that.

And of course that “living within a lie” method of enforcing silence and mute ‘acceptance’ is how we are made to toe the line on issues such as immigration, Islam, race and trans when all institutions through government, academia, media and business all adopt the approved orthodoxy despite knowing it to be a lie….such as ‘Islam is peace’…and ‘a woman can have a penis’.
Speak up and you know you will be publicly lynched by the media, be cancelled and lose your job…if not actually thrown in prison ala Tommy Robinson whose treatment is scarily so very Soviet Union.
BBC institutionally homophobic….
‘”At a time when I was producing an award-winning LGBTQ+ show for the BBC, I was being subjected to the kind of homophobic and bigoted behaviours from BBC staff members that would have been unacceptable decades ago – let alone in a modern workplace,” he said.
He added: “I am glad that the BBC has finally admitted that people in positions of power created and sustained an environment in which my abuse was explicitly and implicitly tolerated by those who should have been expected to stop it.”‘

If the BBC employee only gay people it can end homophobia – maybe not Islamic homophobia but western homophobia!
