    Something is rotten in the state of Denmark…or in this case both the media and politics of Britain…

    Jim Ratcliffe’s remarks about the dire consequences of unbridled immigration into our once green and pleasant land has received widespread condemnation. They’re queuing up to have a pop at him.

    Whereas, most sentient people are cheering him to the rafters, our gutless politicians are sneering and our venal and corrupt media is in a state of apoplexy. Their hypocrisy is quite breathtaking.

    I think it’s quite telling that the same media that so vehemently condemns Jim is also totally ignoring the grooming gang inquiry. According to the BBC, Sky, ITN, Channel 4, The Mirror, Guardian, Sun, et-al, there’s nothing happening.

    These people are despicable. The only thing politicians and journalists are good at is lying and deceiving.

    As my old gramps used to say,
    I wouldn’t trust any of them further than I can piss…

And arrogant debate-stopping demand to Radcliffe shows him to be just another mouth, unable to see the wood for the trees and simply spouting what.he thinks will make him appear to be upright to his denizens in parliament despite the huge collateral damage being waved through by people of his ilk. Knee-jerk labelling as racist is the cure-all debate stopper for these people.

        This incident made me fell utter disgust for Starmer.

        UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer laid flowers at a memorial Monday for the victims of a stabbing attack in Southport. As he laid his floral tribute, locals could be heard shouting angrily, “How many more children, prime minister?”

        —————————————————————————-

        He should have stayed and chatted to the crowd, some had been there six hours. Instead he was in and out, never sad a word and disappeared in about two minutes flat.

        Further to my previous the main article in the Times that ran with massive support in the comments for JR has been pulled entirely along with all the comments.

        There was even a live ‘vote’ window that was running at around 70% support.
        That’s gone too……..

        Articles with more of an ‘attack’ flavour have now replaced it.

    An assessment from @grok backed up what Basham was saying: “Yes, the lyrics in Bad Bunny’s ‘Safaera’ (performed at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime) include explicit references to sexual acts, drug use, and profanity, as claimed. English translations on sites like Genius confirm details like oral sex, a*s-eating, pills for arousal, and erection boasts. Many of his songs have mature themes, but they’re in Spanish.”

    https://www.dailywire.com/news/explicit-heres-what-bad-bunny-was-actually-saying-at-the-super-bowl

    but they’re in Spanish – don’t Spanish kids hear this?

    The overall takeaway was that Bad Bunny had delivered a fair amount of content from the stage that many conservatives and Christians might find objectionable — and all of it was conveniently buried behind the language barrier.

      Grok does have its uses.

      The UK’s unwritten constitution relies heavily on conventions and good faith, which can be tested by any government with a majority. Formal checks like judicial review, select committees, and opposition motions exist, but enforcement depends on political will. Media coverage on Romeo’s appointment (e.g., BBC, Guardian reports on due diligence concerns), China debates (Hansard shows grilled sessions on human rights), and Gibraltar talks (calls for clarity in Parliament) has been widespread across outlets, though selective focus happens. Reforms like a budget committee could strengthen scrutiny.

      I have moved from worry and anger to outright concern and incandescent fury.

    • Ian Rushlow says:

      Disappointing that Mr Ratcliffe has apologised. An apology is never enough: it’s simply like blood in the water to the sharks. He should have doubled down and said that he stuck by the his words. Or, he could have used the following words:

      “I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe and caused concern but it is important to raise the issue of controlled and well-managed immigration that supports economic growth. To that end, I am throwing my weight behind Reform, Rupert Lowe, Tommy Robinson, and giving each of them £10 million to facilitate this debate.”

      It is doubly disappointing that he has fallen into the trap of using the enemy’s language, which is something Jordan Peterson warned against i.e. the reference to ‘economic growth’. One can hardly call the massive 0.1% increase in GDP a worthwhile return on importing millions of people.

    Treason is loyalty to the lawful sovereign, not to a particular person

    Under the Treason Act 1351 (still in force), the key offence is:

    • “Compassing or imagining the death of our lord the King”

    • “Levying war against the King”

    • “Adhering to the King’s enemies”

    Crucially, “the King” means whoever is the lawful monarch at that moment.

    So when the monarch changes lawfully, the legal target of loyalty changes instantly.

    • “Adhering to the King’s enemies”
    Luckily the king loves everyone including Islam, so this is invalid in 2026!

    England & Wales had an estimated total of 474,847 rapes in 2024, the highest in the World, as reported by Rape Crisis and the United Nations, but not by the BBC. 87% of the victims were white girls raped by immigrants, including those given British citizenship by the Labour & Tory Governments. 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. Only 0.4% or 1,923 resulted in prosecution. In response, the US Embassy in London is now monitoring people in Britain of a “migration background” for crimes like rape, and the threats these people pose to U.S. interests, Christianity, Judaism and to Western Civilisation as a whole. The US Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) report that British police provide the rape 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 is available, but is withheld. The British Government covers-up its crimes using secret courts like the Special Immigration Appeals Court (SIAC) and the secret Closed Material Proceedings Court, secret DSMA-Notices, secret Super-Injunctions and secret non-disclosure agreements. However, the U.S. Embassy in London reports these ‘British secrets’ to the U.S. Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL). In 2024, 87% of rape victims were white girls raped by immigrants.

    I think we shouldn’t worry too much about labours plan to slowly rejoin the eu bit by bit because as soon as Farage gets in I would expect him to reverse everything they have signed up to with the eu and then to leave the eu properly.

    Perhaps it would be a good idea for Reform to let the eu know that all deals will be off once Reform are elected although Labour would probably put in these suicide clauses to make it impossible to get out of them, something like free fishing for the eu in our waters forever and if we end it we must pay trillions of euros compensation.

      When Margaret Thatcher came to office as a proper Prime Minister – a leader unfazed by c**p from these same people, or probably their LSE ‘trained’ kids nowadays, the air seemed so much fresher, imaginations soared, confidence returned, and we all felt, (those of us who created the wealth), were exultant!

        May 2017
        In Wednesday’s Question Period, the opposition asked the prime minister how many times he met with Ethics and Conflict of Interest commissioners over his trip to the Aga Khan’s private island and never got a direct answer.

        Sunday Scrum: Trudeau dodges ethics question 18 times during QP

        …………
        In 2017, Trudeau was found to have violated sections 5,11,12, and 21[1] of the Federal Conflict of Interest Act by accepting private-island vacations, gifts, and flights from Aga Khan (Karim al-Husseini), a philanthropist and spiritual leader of the Shia Ismaili religion.
        …………………

        The search results indicate that Prince Karim Aga Khan IV passed away on February 4, 2025, in Lisbon, Portugal, at the age of 88, and was widely recognized for his philanthropic work as the leader of the Shia Ismaili Muslims.

      According to statistics, homosexuals (gay & lesbian) are 2.5 times more likely to commit suicide – not, ‘something like 50 times’.

      However ‘the main’ risk factor is simply being male since men are 3 times more likely to kill themselves.

      But of course, using these statistics to extrapolate the reasons for one, particular individual’s suicide would be as dumb as saying, he killed himself; “because he was a man”.

    Amazed that so many supposedly intelligent people are still hand-wringing over trans issues.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2k809vnx0yo

    There is no such thing as trans, you are either male or female, full stop.

    Stop kidding young people into thinking they can choose. Male or female is decided at conception. If a male wants to act as a female that’s fine let him continue to pretend but he is still a male posing as a female and visa versa for females.

    Adopting this general view would iron out a load of ridiculous issues in society.

    Supporting self identifying means any child could identify as a wolf, a shark, a tortoise, a greenfly… . The list is endless and totally ridiculous!

    From X

    A-Labour mayor helped hide her son’s phone after he raped a 15-year-old girl by blocking police officers from entering their home and giving him instructions in Urdu.
    Naheed Ejaz, 61, refused to let officers in for over a minute and a half, giving 41-year-old Diwan Khan time to conceal the device, which is believed to have had a video of him sexually assaulting the teenager on it.
    The former town mayor for Bracknell in Berkshire was convicted of perverting the course of justice, saying she let her ‘mother’s love’ cloud her judgement.
    Khan’s trial heard that he raped the young girl after she ‘blacked out’ from the MDMA that he gave her by putting it in vodka for her to drink.
    The teenager woke up in the backseat of his car with no clothes on and she could not remember what had happened.
    However, Khan showed her the video that he filmed of him having sex with her, choking her and slapping her in the face.
    He then threatened the girl with messages saying he would show her mother the video if she said anything about what happened.
    Khan, who appeared alongside Ejaz at official functions, even sent the teen the clip and told her that he would ‘slit her throat’ if she told anyone.

    Rupert Lowe has a point about sexual abuse not being ‘historic ‘ but still taking place …
    The piece above doesn’t say what sentence judge Mohammed is giving the Labour major for perverting justice …

    Hmmmm….BBC yesterday was telling us how appalling and dangerous some maternity units are with countless failings…in one case 55 babies died unnecessarily over a five year period.

    ‘Our investigation also found that:

    At least 55 babies who died may have survived with better care between 2019 and 2023’

    What’s odd is that there is absolutely no mention of Lucy Letby and the many many doubts about her trial and conviction. The BBC has basically campaigned against Letby with its journalists being stridently adamant that she is guilty and being quite unprepared to consider any conflicting evidence and doubt.
    You have to wonder about the BBC’s agenda…and also consider the BBC repeatedly pushes the notion that Black women get bad treatment…due to ‘racism’…and yet it is quite clear white women are treated just as badly….and again no mention of that curious contradictory fact and inconvenient truth.

    Two BBC reports on the failings…

    BBC Headline:

    DT Headline:
    BBC attempt to delay Trump case dismissed as ‘meaningless’

    Seems the judge kicked the BBC’s request out.

    The best bit is:
    ‘The president’s lawyers said the corporation’s claims were meaningless, relying on “conclusory assertions in place of any meaningful legal analysis”.’

    How absolutely 100% BBC.

    I’ve been reading about a bit and it seems that the BBC are desperate to stop this case before it starts because when it does, they will have to release ALL emails etc around it and the damage from that will be enormous.

    Not that the BBC will report it of course.

    The prime minister announced Chris Wormald was stepping down by mutual consent after just over a year as cabinet secretary, with Antonia Romeo almost certain to succeed him as the first woman in the job – explains the Guardian, rather complacently.

    The cull of Sir Keir’s top team is looking increasingly reminiscent of the last act of Hamlet. Now he’s worm-holed our latter day Sir Humphrey.
