    Good morning!
    Here’s a question for the technical bods amongst us. I’ve got my system running nicely on “Malware Bytes” VPN, and although it still looks like Derbyshire outside, apparently I’m in Sweden. Years ago, the only reason I could have thought of for a VPN would be to look at naked ladies. Now, like a lot of people, I fear saying “too many immigrants” will land me at least one death sentence.

    Get to the point, Mick. Question is :- If the bbc succeed in annexing youtube, will I still be able to browse it, and similar sites without disruption if I’m now a Scandinavian?

      I’ve recently done the same thing for the same reason mick.

      Have a read of this which explains what a VPN does and does not do:

      https://us.norton.com/blog/vpn/can-you-be-tracked-with-a-vpn

      One tip: check your browsing IP really is being changed by going here:

      https://www.myip.com/

      I discovered mine was not because the Surfshark chrome plugin overrides the setting in the desktop app. I need to set it via the chrome plugin. I also changed the chrome default search engine to Duck Duck Go and everything is much better now.

    I made an earlier comment about how this partisan article does not mention any democrats. These are the authors:

    ‘Sakshi Venkatraman’
    300px-Sakshi_Venkatraman.jpeg
    Who ‘ focuses on “in-depth coverage of race, culture, South Asians and the LGBTQ+ community.
    She’s a full-on anti-white activist.
    She set her mind on becoming a journalist in high school, where ‘she wrote fiery editorials, voicing support for gay rights and against the Confederate flag, in the student newspaper.’

    Kwasi Gyamfi Asiedu
    ?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%2Fid%2FOIP.8p4e7cZdf4DKQgC-qMIzkgAAAA%3Fpid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=2a9043bf6dcc37178cae51a3b010f1fcc1672fd36af4753983ffd41c556a2b6c&ipo=images
    Kwasi previously worked for POLITIFACT. Described online as:
    ‘Politifact is a web site run by some left-wing journalists at the Tampa Bay Times. As you might expect from academic studies of media bias, their content might as well be written by the Democrat Party.’
    https://winteryknight.com/2018/10/19/fact-checking-the-fact-checkers-is-politifact-reliable-or-biased/

    So two more unbiased, neutral, typical British BBC reporters there then. Not.

    What a s**t week for Great Britain, and s*d all on the bBC’s excuse for a website already!

    Starmer, squirming and wheedling up to the Chinese for just the few minutes they allowed him, giving them all they wanted, (which would have got anyway by dealing with his spineless, ‘business’, LSE-trained apparatchiks), when he was farting around aimlessly, trying to keep his illegal immigrant failures out of the limelight. Boat engines? T**t!

    The pathetic intrusion on Chinese airspace must have been the pinnacle of a failed, faint-hearted excuse for a ‘leader’, (sic), squealing inanities at the inscrutable face of communism, and begging for a result to help the UK scrabble out of the normal worker’s commercial despair in trying to create an economy that British Citizens deserve!

    What an absolute disaster Starmer is. He is utterly clueless, and even the far-left bBC cannot bring themselves to even touch on the total economic failure of this idiot, ‘representing’ British Business, being at a total loss for words among the biggest threat that we’ve ever had to face, with indespicable foreign influence, pounding on our values.

    This fascist despot has to be kicked into touch PDQ – he is a total liability to Great Britain.

      What’s the point of Starmer whining to the Chinese about illegals continuing to flood in despite his murmurings about one in one out shite when for every man jack of them he seems unable to do absolutely sweet FA. So what’s the point about him bringing this up to the Chinese when they know that the answer is to be totally ruthless, no hotels, no assisted boat trips to the UK coast, no benefits, just kick their arses back to where they came from, they are going to be no worse off than when they set off so so be it. Trying to get China to stop selling cheap outboard motors to the criminals who get paid to dump them here is just childishly freaking stupid and bizarre but we are finding out that’s the total out of touch madness of this utter twat running this country who just goes for brownie points all the time.

      I won’t even go into why so many of these doctors and scientists rolling up in rubber boats see their first duty is to rape some innocent female at random.

      In fact, if I was the head of the CCP in China right now I would seriously be considering just invading the UK and taking over the whole shit show as this clown would have no idea how to deal with it.

    British jobs lost to communists, it’s a disgrace. Starmer should have slapped 20% import tax on Chinese made goods and told them their embassy was going to get refused until it was a quarter the size.

    He’s a weak man, desperate to make any deal. Just man up Kier, say no, because the country will suffer for decades for your capitulations.

    I do enjoy watching the various podcasts put out by the Times, which is of course ultra Globalist. It is always useful to know what the other side is thinking.
    Their presenters and guests foam at the mouth about President Trump , Nigel Farage, traitors who defect to Reform . They also loath Starmer , not because he is a despicable POS but because he is letting their side down. Their sense of entitlement drips off them forming large pools on the floor.
    The bottom line is that they are all terribly clever and know what is best for the country and the world and are very annoyed that common uneducated people are daring to push back and not just do as they are told.

    I don’t think I want to know how the BBC portrayed Starmer’s China trip. Probably painted it as “fruitful” and “productive” when “net zero” would have been more accurate. Anyway, this is what I posted over at the Guido Fawkes blog:

      “Seven new shops for Labubu dolls are to open in the UK this year, following the prime minister’s trip to China.

      Chinese toy maker Pop Mart has confirmed it will open a flagship shop on Oxford Street in London’s West End, as well as shops in Cardiff and Birmingham, before opening 20 more shops in Europe in 2026.

      The announcement is part of a package of deals announced by the UK government, including on whisky and cars, which officials claim is worth £2.2bn in export deals.

      Some have expressed concerns about Sir Keir’s visit to China, arguing the country has a poor record on human rights and poses a threat to the UK’s national security.”

    Epstein sent £10,000 to Mandelson’s partner, released emails show
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2lgqd2n9w2o

    Oh dear. The BBC spent God knows how many thousands of public money to use their ridiculously large state news apparatus to quash negative feeling towards their far-Left gay hero Mandelson only for this to come out and sink him in it deeper.

    How sad. Never mind.

    As an aside, it’s becoming routine now for me to use AI to check if the BBC are lying about something and it telling me they are most definitely not.
    And the link it uses as it’s evidence is usually the BBC themselves. And if not them, it’s always another far-Left activist source like The Guardian or CNN.

        I was reading today somewhere (possibly the Telegraph?) about the head of Humberside police. Humberside goes after all shoplifters including those stealing amounts under £200. They have a 37% success rate at prosecution. Their other crime rates were much better than for example the Met Office.

        The Chief of police hadn’t been to ‘uni’ reading sociology but had worked in the Far East if I remember correctly. Now I know I am female and what I am about to say doesn’t fit the modern agenda. Some years ago Humberside Police used to have a high profile female police chief who was seen out and and about in her Next Mac over her uniform and crime figures were dreadful. The female police chief in Southport who said ‘as a Nana’ she could empathise with the people of Stockpot. We had the female head of Nat West who was photographed in more different outfits than I have had hot dinners. The list goes on. I don’t mind women in high office if they are up yo the job, for example Mrs Thatcher or Katherine Burbal Singh, but those appointed on characteristics rather than ability, fail and it shows.

        I wonder on which characteristic or present prime minister was appointed as leader of Labour (or indeed the DPP). It obviously wasn’t ability.

    In a separate email, Epstein told Peter Mandelson he had “monstrous fun” with Mr Gates in Seattle.

    A spokesman for Mr Gates said: “These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false.

    “The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.”

    Funny old world.

    Pretty sure many will have heard the wailing from the usual suspects when Greenland was in the news and suddenly the Mercator Projection of the world map was denounced as racist and white supremacist showing as it did Greenland about the same size as Africa thus diminishing the status of Africa in everyone’s eyes…apparently.

    This naturally needs a correction…‘a rejection of the Mercator map’s “ideology of power and dominance”.’

    Hmmm…Are we all flat-earthers now? Is the world as flat as that map shows or do we, as rounded and educated people, know that the earth is a sphere and to portray the earth as a flat map to make it useable and easy to understand there needs to be some distortions of scale…the Mercator Projection is just one possible way of doing it…others will distort as much but in other ways.

    The Mercator Projection was produced in 1569…doubt ‘white supremacy’ was in the mind of the map-maker.
    The real intent was to make a map that made navigation by ships easy and accurate and that is what this map did…it also meant that smaller sections of the map when you zoomed in were in fact accurate in size and scale.

    So nowt to do with race…in fact Greenland is projected as large as Canada, the US and Mexico together…when it is in fact around 1/4 the size of the US alone…so how’s that for white supremacy…and considering the natives of Greenland are definitely not white?

    It’s the usual Black fragility and demand for ‘reparation’ for something that isn’t a ‘thing’ in reality. Every schoolchild has seen a globe and the real scale of land masses and indeed all atlases show a flat map that is, whilst not good for navigation, is more representative if still not perfect…

    Google maps does use the Mercator Projection but if you go into the ‘Layers’ and switch on ‘Globe View’ the main view is a globe which shows clearly the true size of land masses….the default setting is in fact the Globe View.

    This is the racist rubbish we now get…

    ‘The African Union has backed a campaign to end the use by governments and international organisations of the 16th-century Mercator map of the world in favour of one that more accurately displays Africa’s size.

    It might seem to be just a map, but in reality, it is not,” the African Union Commission deputy chair, Selma Malika Haddadi, told Reuters, saying the Mercator fostered a false impression that Africa was “marginal”, despite being the world’s second-largest continent by area, with more than 1 billion people.
    Such stereotypes influence media, education and policy, she said.’

    I’m sorry but that’s complete rubbish as indicated above….everyone knows that this particular map is not a scale map of the world…it was created for a very particular purpose which in fact is still valid today….which is why Google Maps use it…and far from being ‘white’ the map is based upon maps produced by the Greeks, then the Arabs and by Jews under Arab rule…not an Anglo-Saxon in sight….and as shown below all flat, 2D, maps will have distortions and issues…

    A great site gives you the size of countries and allows you to see what they actually are compared to the Mercator Projection…

    President Donald Trump is thinking about a national emergency in response to threats from the British government.

    The White House characterized Starmer’s actions as presenting an unusual and extraordinary danger to American national security and foreign policy interests. The British government maintains alliances with multiple entities considered hostile to American interests. These include the European Union, the People’s Republic of China, Islam, Hamas and Mauritius. The White House states that Britain permits adversarial nations to establish military and intelligence operations on British territory. These covert Communist and Islamic operations, and Chinese Embassies reportedly pose direct threats to United States national security. The US condemns human rights violations by Starmer, accusing him of persecuting political opponents, denying freedom of speech, and profiting from citizen suffering. President Donald Trump sent five diplomats from the U.S. State Department to investigate Britain’s draconian speech restrictions, and to meet with rape victims, amid growing concerns over the state of liberty in the United Kingdom. A Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) team also met with British Government officials and members of the authoritarian OFCOM state broadcasting censor, which acts as a ‘Ministry of Truth’ for the British state. OFCOM attempts to pressure U.S. tech companies to censor speech. The US government fights back against this by banning Senior OFCOM staff from entering the United States, and threatening draconian tariffs on Britains draconian communist regime.

    Dutch Journalist banned from Britain for criticising Starmer, talks to Tommy Robinson

    Starmer says “War (with Russia) is Peace, Freedom (& Free Speech) is Slavery and Ignorance (& Diversity) is (our) Strength”

    Rape Crisis report that England & Wales had an estimated total of 474,847 rapes in 2024, the highest in the World, as reported by a United Nation chart on Wikipedia. 87% of the victims were white girls raped by immigrants, including those given British citizenship by the Labour & Tory Governments. Rape Crisis say that 71,227 rapes were recorded by police in 2024, but only 15% of victims told Rape Crisis that they chose to report the crime to the police. 85% said they didn’t think the police could help, thought it would be embarrassing, thought the police wouldn’t do anything about it, or thought the police wouldn’t believe them. The secret 87% figure is from a Closed Material Proceedings Court, covered by a DSMA-Notice, but mentioned in Hansard. However Andrew Bridgen was told the figure was almost 90%, then told Parliament it was 90%, and then Tommy Robinson said it was 90% to the crowd.

      Richard.
      I can believe this 87% figure (white girls raped by immigrants) but how many times do we hear the lefties on various GB News panels say the vast majority of rapes are carried out by the indigneous Brits.

      Obviously they cannot both be correct so how do the left keep getting away with this and why do they never seem to be challenged by anyone else on the panels.
      I could understand it had it been on question time but GB News have plenty of knowledgeable people who should be able to come back at the lefties who say this.

      They will keep on repeating this until they can be shown to be lieing about it.

        The BBC Fake News service says that the ‘vast majority of rapes are carried out by indigenous Brits’, because the secret 87% is replaced by an ‘assumption’ that 83% of people in Britain are white, so therefore 83% of rapists must be white.

        The police provide the data to the Home Office and the ONS. The Home Office and ONS stopped publishing detailed crime breakdowns by ethnicity and nationality for sexual offences over a decade ago. When ethnicity is listed, it is not correlated to crime category in the public data, unless it makes whites look bad. Race‑specific data on violent and sexual offences was available, but was gradually withheld on the grounds that it could “inflame tensions.” The data is being collected but rarely published in detail, unless it makes white people look bad.

        However, Members of Parliament are the only people in Britain with free speech. So if they ask the Home Office, the Home Office has to answer. If the MP reads out the answer in Parliament, then it appears in Hansard, the only publication in Britain that contains secrets covered-up by DSMA-Notices, Super-Injunctions and non-disclosure agreements. However information about the crimes of the British government are also revealed in US publications, including books and the United States Congress website. The US Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) is also expected to reveal secrets covered-up by Starmer.

        The secret 87% figure is from a Closed Material Proceedings Court, covered up by a DSMA-Notice, but mentioned in Hansard. The 84% figure seems to be an older figure, and the 90% figure could be more recent.

        England and Wales has the highest level of rape on Earth at 117.3 per 100,000, but the all white nation of Hungary has a rate of 5.5 per 100,000. 83% or 57.5 million of the British population is white. So that’s the equivalent of 3,163 reported rapes per year by whites in England and Wales. But Rape Crisis say that 71,227 rapes were recorded by police in 2024.

        Emmanuel, you might like to ask yourself why you are so ready to believe such obviously ludicrous figures.

        Latest CPS figures state there were 2,627 rape convictions in England & Wales 2024-2025.

        The ethnicity of the rapist was recorded in 1,989 of cases. Of those:

        1,346 (74%) were ‘White British’

    Sudanese Man Jailed for Life After Murdering UK Hotel Worker

    The Sudanese criminal passed through Italy and Germany to a tent in northern France, before being rescued by the RNLI in July 2024, and then placed in a posh hotel in Walsall, by Serco.

    The Sudanese criminal then murdered an English hotel worker whom prosecutors say was stalked and then stabbed to death with a screwdriver 23 times in the head, chest and arm. He returned to the hotel in bloodied clothing while laughing and dancing.

    The victims sister could be arrested by Starmers ‘thought police’ for saying that the Sudanese murderer was “demonic and inhuman”.

    In response to the murder, Starmer said that “ diversity is our strength”.

    The purpose of Jeremy Bentham’s panopticon was to allow a guard to monitor any inmate of a prison at any time, without the inmate being aware of the surveillance. Yet despite the panopticon being deemed too cruel for convicted criminals, even by the standards of 19th-century justice, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has now specifically referred to the device as being part of her “ultimate vision” to keep an eye on criminals — and by extension the general public.

    Afternoon all.
    Here’s an interesting one.
    Mrs S was ill last week but miraculously got a GP appointment.
    I went with her.
    We were confronted by an Islamic female GP with a full face covering.
    With no facial expressions to go on, and muffled speech behind the veil, akin to talking with your hand over your mouth, it was extremely difficult to understand the communication.

    Yet the full face covering is NOT as I understand it a specific requirement of Islam. It is a cultural choice. With great irony, in Iran by contrast, head covering is relatively relaxed. Hair must be covered but faces not so.

    So here we have a first grade first hand example that the Islamic cultural preferences of NHS practitioners are more important than good communication with their patients.

    Perhaps the BBC NHS reporter would care to comment.
    No? Thought not.

    Councils Cannot Afford Elections. But spend millions on gagging orders and asylum seekers.

    AlterAI: How much taxpayer cash do local councils in Britain spend on gagging orders?

    AlterAI says “tens of millions of pounds of public money have been used over the last two decades by local councils in Britain to buy silence — through non‑disclosure agreements (NDAs), settlement confidentiality clauses, or less formally through “mutual agreements” designed to suppress whistleblowing and reputational damage”. Freedom of Information (FOI) investigations suggest: Between 2010 and 2020, approximately £250–300 million of local taxpayer money was spent across UK local authorities on settlement agreements containing gagging clauses. Most NDAs were issued after dismissals or whistleblower cases, particularly involving: Social services failure and child protection negligence. Misuse of public funds, nepotism, and fraudulent contracting. Workplace bullying, discrimination, or sexual misconduct allegations at the senior management level.

    In other words: gagging orders exist not to protect legitimate secrets, but to protect officials. These are the very institutions meant to serve the public — yet they routinely silence staff raising concerns about corruption, mismanagement, or endangerment of vulnerable people. This problem isn’t unique to councils. Similar extensive NDA usage is seen in: NHS Trusts (tens of millions spent on silencing clinicians). Police forces (particularly over internal misconduct and mass rape by immigrants). Universities and housing associations (hushing financial or harassment complaints).

    Using public money to bury wrongdoing is, in essence, institutionalised deception. The people who pay — the taxpayers — fund their own exclusion from truth. Until mandatory transparency on payouts and NDAs is enforced, these figures will stay estimations. The real number could easily exceed £400 million over the past 15 years: https://dailysceptic.org/2026/01/31/council-cant-afford-elections-but-spends-30k-on-asylum-seeker-mental-health
