    Whilst Trump was badly wrong making those comments about Nato troops not being in the frontline it must be extraordinarily galling for troops and veterans to hear Starmer grandstanding and claiming he gives a damn about the troops when at the very same time he is intent on prosecuting them whilst letting off IRA terrorists…and the Telegraph details how he was deeply involved two decades ago in hounding the troops…as was the BBC of course…nothing they like better than to label a soldier a ‘war criminal’…regardless of the facts.

      I explained on the previous thread how much I loathe this photo of Starmer. As we can now read that he was as bad as Phil Shiner, seeing him in pseudo uniform makes him even more despicable.

      I don’t like Andy Burnham either. Everyone seems to forget he was the minister responsible for all those deaths in Staffordshire.

      And I hope someone has Wes Streeting’s tweets from before he became a minister. His antisemitic tweets used the language of the gutter. (So did Jess Phillips …..and what is happening to the Inquiry into the Pakistan rape gangs?)

      @pugnazious Trump was NOT WRONG “making those comments about Nato troops not being in the frontline ”
      .. you seem to have fallen for a monstering operation run by BBC MSM

      where they ruthlessly cherrypicked 1 min of a foreign TV interview
      and spun it relentlessly
      whilst suppressing all context
      and suppressing past positive comments

    Don’t believe for one minute our Government cares for our armed forces. We had two ex soldiers fallen on hard times sleeping rough in our city, opposite a former 4 star hotel, now full of illegal invaders from who knows where, but they have warm beds, free food and medical care of course, The ex soldiers now can’t understand why they ever risked their lives for what this country has become.

      Some things never change. I don’t suppose Starmer knows Kipling but from what I read in the Telegraph this evening, Starmer shouldn’t sleep at night.

      We aren’t no thin red ‘eroes, nor we aren’t no blackguards too,
      But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
      An’ if sometimes our conduck isn’t all your fancy paints,
      Why, single men in barricks don’t grow into plaster saints;
      While it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ Tommy, fall be’ind,”
      But it’s “Please to walk in front, sir,” when there’s trouble in the wind
      There’s trouble in the wind, my boys, there’s trouble in the wind,
      O it’s “Please to walk in front, sir,” when there’s trouble in the wind.

      Rudyard Kipling

      BBC talks about Holocaust Remembrance Day today but can’t seem to remember what group the “6 million people” were…

      I guess “No Jews No News” doesn’t apply when Jews are the ones being killed.

      Yes, other groups were killed in the Holocaust, but this specific number of 6 million, were Jews. The Holocaust was a genocide of Jews. If you can’t say that, what kind of journalist are you?”

      “BBC acknowledges ‘mistake’ in Boris Johnson editing” Published 25 November 2019
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50546115
      The audience laughed when he was asked a question about how important it is for people in power to tell the truth.

      But the laughter and subsequent applause was absent from a cut-down version of the exchange on a lunchtime news bulletin the following day.

      “This clip from the BBC’s Question Time special, which was played out in full on the News at Ten on Friday evening and on other outlets, was shortened for timing reasons on Saturday’s lunchtime bulletin, to edit out a repetitious phrase from Boris Johnson,” the BBC said in a statement.

      “However, in doing so we also edited out laughter from the audience. Although there was absolutely no intention to mislead, we accept this was a mistake on our part, as it didn’t reflect the full reaction to Boris Johnson’s answer.

    Starmer plans to send the British Army to the Ukraine. New Regiments for a new army will be formed in the empty camps. Formed from men brought over from France by the RNLI and Border Force boats. The names of the regiments of the new ‘Royal Islamic Army of England’ are (1) the Royal Musalman Regiment, (2) the Royal Pashtun Regiment, (3) the Royal Baluch Regiment and (4) the Royal Pathan Regiment of Crowborough. These forces will be used by the Islamic Home Secretary and OFCOM against political opponents, online critics, protesters and internal enemies of the state.

      These regiments will in future, at the request of the King, troop their colours on Horseguards Parade and form the guard of honour at Remembrance Day services , official state visits and mount guard at Buckingham Palace. Also , uniquely amongst British army units , they will be covered by total immunity from prosecution for any offences they may commit especially against white people.
      The King has let it be known that he is personally designing the full dress uniforms for his new Praetorian Guard.

    Not worthy of a mention by the bBC.

    Surprising in a way because when I saw the headline I thought Mandelson – cannot think why!

    With Starmer and Lord Hermer involved I can now understand why Shiner was never held to account for the cost to the public purse (IIRC £35m) plus the impact on the accused (which again if IIRC included a suicide). Had it been ‘Tory Scum’ we would never have heard the last of it.

    While we start to ponder these things perhaps there also ought to be an investigation into why the DPP re-opened the Leon Brittan/Carl Beech. Aside from the fundamental breach of human rights of the victims, there has been no mention of the fact that Beech was essentially encouraged by the system to make the allegations, led by the Deputy Leader of the opposition (wtf?) and of course our impartial DPP now PM.

    I watched the Daily T podcast hosted by Camilla Tominey and TimStanley Konstantin Kissin was the guest.
    The two very experienced hosts are fairly typical centre right journalists who hold and express views which fall within the limits of acceptability for the chattering classes.
    So They regard President Trump as at least partially insane , find the use of force to remove illegal immigrants unacceptable , think that talk of Britain being broken is exaggerated . They do find this Labour government appalling but Camilla would like the Tories to have another bash!
    It was good to watch Kissin teaching them how a grown up should think about politics and the true state of the USA, UK and EU. They seemed like little children being given a lesson at school. But I’m not sure that they fully grasped the points he was making and will probably have forgotten the lesson by this morning.

    Hold the frontpage…

    Princess Kate has a new hairstyle…

    Daily Mirror; Daily Express; Daily Telegraph; and The Sun.

    It almost makes one nostalgic for the left-leaning Independent editorial line that once promised not to headline stories about the Royals – despite recent exceptions where Andrew is concerned.

    Princess’s DIY hair braid at storm-hit rugby club – explains The Sun

    I hear it’s been a bit windy: 300 schools closed as high winds and heavy rain bring disruption… Warnings for heavy rain, flooding and strong winds have been issued (Cecilia Daly and Barra Best, BBC News NI weather presenters)

    Now, I wonder, is it really the adverse weather, or is it the Warnings that are closing these schools?

    As our highly unionised state school teachers – blessed as they are with the work ethic of a 1970s British Leyland production line employee (there’s one for the teenagers) – wake up in the morning thinking about having to face the little oiks again whilst still wistful for Lockdowns.

    Marking their own homework

    Me thinks the Gov doth protest too much: Do schools close because of bad weather? Schools will make every effort to stay open in adverse weather conditions, including storms, flooding, snow and heatwaves… It’s up to schools to decide on whether it is safe for them to open or close based on their own risk assessment and taking local issues into account. (Gov.UK)

    Storm Chandra: Hundreds of schools closed due to weather… Storm Chandra was named by the Met Office on Monday. It is the third big storm to reach the UK this month, after Goretti and Ingrid. (CBBC)

    Our BBC’s output of what we used to term light entertainment is a bit crap these days – but the must-watch excitment and sheer entertainment value of these weather shows they bring us now goes from strenth to strength

    Meanwhile: Watch: Huge landslide in Sicily after Storm Harry (BBC)

    How come Italy gets storm Harry (beautiful British name – as Al Murray the Pub Landord would say) and we get Chandra, Goretti and Ingrid?

    Sometimes these segueways… Labour pub ‘rescue’ fall out… Half Measures – it’s the Mirror’s shout – and one wonders whether Sir Keir may be thinking he might call last orders on his First Chancellor… to wear tights (since the Sheriff of Nottingham*) – to save his own job?

    *Disambiguation: The Sheriff of Nottingham is a historic, largely ambassadorial role in modern Nottingham, England, currently held by Councillor Zafran Khan as of May 2025. – thank you AI

    Non-English name there. Well, you could have knocked me down with Little John’s fighting staff.

    The Sheriff is the main, tyrannical antagonist to Robin Hood – careful now.

    On his death bed, Robin called to Little John and said “Bring me my bow. I will shoot one last time. You must bury me wherever this arrow lies” – So they buried him in his wardrobe.

        The 2023 Incident (London Imam)
        Who: A Muslim community leader/imam in London refused to shake the hand of Catherine, Princess of Wales (Kate Middleton).
        Context: This occurred during a visit, where the Imam greeted the Prince of Wales but did not shake the hand of the Princess, often bowing or placing his hand on his heart instead.
        Reason: According to reports, this was based on a strict interpretation of Islamic etiquette that prohibits a man from touching a woman who is not a close relative (non-mahram).
        Reaction: This incident sparked debate, with some viewing it as respectful to the woman and his faith, while others criticized it as a lack of courtesy or assimilation.
        …..
        Who: Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov refused to shake the hand of TV host Kate Scott (formerly Abdo) during a live Champions League broadcast on CBS Sports.
        Context: Khabib shook hands with the male presenters but declined the handshake from Kate Scott, offering a respectful nod and putting his hand on his heart instead.

    It is theoretically possible for an entity with sufficient network-level control (such as an ISP, a network administrator, or an attacker in a man-in-the-middle position) to interfere with X (formerly Twitter) embeds on external sites. This could involve blocking or altering the loading of embed-related resources, which might disrupt threaded formatting or prevent a URL from expanding into a full post display. However, this would typically require overcoming modern web security features like HTTPS encryption, certificate pinning, and browser protections, making it challenging and often detectable in practice without specialized access or cooperation from the endpoint device. Such actions could also violate laws or terms of service depending on the context.

    Minnesota corruption? UK Tory/Labour Gov says hold my beer…..

    “Rupert Lowe MP
    This is very concerning. In one of the migrant hotel contracts we are going through, it states that the accommodation will be used for ‘complex bail cases’.

    Defined as a ‘user’ who is an ‘ex-foreign national offender’ released on ‘criminal bail’, or similar ‘special cases’.

    All on documents marked ‘official sensitive’…

    The hotels aren’t just being used for illegal migrants, they being used for outright convicted foreign criminals.

    This particular contract was for the North West.

    The value?

    £1,079,000,000.

    I want to know who these criminals are, and what are their crimes.

    How many foreign rapists are in these hotels? Murderers? Paedophiles? Sex offenders? Allowed to roam our communities? We deserve to know.

    These men are being forced into communities, and politicians from all parties (Labour, Reform and Conservative) have deliberately concealed the true contents of these contracts.

    I am in the process of asking hundreds of questions to the Home Office, and I mean hundreds, about these contracts.

    I will keep you all updated.”

      “A Hong Kong pro-democracy protester was pulled into Chinese consulate grounds in Manchester on Sunday and beaten up.”
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63280519
      But rarely do consular staff emerge on to the street to pull down banners and posters. And even more rarely are protesters dragged through the gates and apparently beaten up.

      Downing Street said, “These reports are extremely concerning.”

        Starmer’s main principle is ‘never mind the principles just give us the Chinese money’.

    “Unidentified men came out of the consulate and forced a man inside the compound before he escaped with the help of police and other demonstrators.”

    So police went into Chinese consulate ? surely this is against international law. or is this just the bbc making this bit up to sensationalise the “report”

    ‘BBC accused of ‘ignoring Jews’ on Holocaust Memorial Day’
    ‘A lengthy Holocaust Remembrance Day segment ran on BBC Breakfast for about seven minutes without mentioning either Jews or anti-Semitism, with the motivations of the Nazis left unexplained.’

    How many times does the BBC have to be caught out before it admits it has a huge problem? Even as it ‘apologises’ it doesn’t…did you see a BBC report on the problem…and do you see a story noting that the BBC has had to apologise, again? No…just a ‘correction’ to their original article which no-one will see.

    ‘In the news bulletins on Today and in the introduction to the story on BBC Breakfast there were references to Holocaust Memorial Day which were incorrectly worded, and for which we apologise. Both should have referred to ‘six million Jewish people’ and we will be issuing a correction on our website.”

    However, Stephen Silverman, director of investigations at the Campaign Against Antisemitism, described the Corporation’s apology as “worthless”.

    Speaking to LBC, Silverman said: “It’s impossible to deny that there is an institutional problem with regard to Jewish matters at the BBC. We’ve seen it amplified over the last two years but it goes way back beyond that.”’

    …….

    “The investigation was prompted by growing public concern about antisemitism in the Labour Party and followed official complaints received by us. Despite this concern and an internal inquiry led by Baroness Chakrabarti in 2016, our investigation found significant failings in the way the Labour Party has handled antisemitism complaints over the last four years.

    GBNews last night signposted me to the Telegraph and the story how Starmer, Herma and Shiner were going after ex service men. If you listen to the BBC or read the Daily Mail on line you would have no idea about these evil three men. I find it scary how well informed people know nothing about funds going to Somalis in Minnesota (but will know that evil Trump killed a nurse), know nothing why the US want Greenland (thank you Triggernometry)or that 6 million refers to the number of Jews murdered in the holocaust but you need to add several more millions if the BBC is referring to people.

    british-husband-arrested-allegedly-shooting-1054532759.webp

    A British chav in Thailand, Anthony James Condron, 56, from Essex, shot his Thai wife in the head yesterday and went on the run.

    I thought he looked pure arrogance.

    Well the police caught him in a hotel 80 miles away.
    Start’s with him smoking on his hotel room balcony, police calmly telling him via megaphone 📣 “oi, you’re nicked mate” , none of the shouting and screaming theatrics of British police.

    Tosses his cigarette into the garden..

    Next he’s handcuffed, doing little head shakes and closing his eyes, and telling the police holding him securely, that he’s not going to run – like he’s in control of the situation.

    Then has a sarcastic go at the photographers.

    Deserves everything that coming to him.

    China’s investment spree in UK gave it access to military-grade technology, BBC told
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgmy5d7k84o
    China has financed tens of billions of pounds’ worth of investment in UK businesses and projects this century, some of which gave it access to military-grade technology, BBC Panorama has learned.

    The spending spree – worth £45bn ($59bn) at 2023 prices – was at its height following a 2015 Chinese state directive, aimed at making the country a global leader in high-tech industries.

    “I think [the China Reform representative] said specifically ‘from the heads of the British engineers to the Chinese engineers, then lay off the British engineers and you’ll make a lot of money’,” says Mr Black.

    China Reform tried to install four new directors “with no understanding of semiconductors” directly
