Midweek 11th March 2026

The BBC wants the Iran war to run according to its’ requirements . Objectives must be clear – Iranian propaganda accepted as fact – the end date must be declared and stuck too . Without these the Trump Derangement syndrome becomes even worse ..

    The Smarmer Government is relentlessly determined to destroy Britain. Tuesday alone, the Non Jury trial ‘Justice’ Bill has its first reading voted through and details of Muslim blasphemy guidance are published. The Government has revealed it will proceed with digital ID. The Islamaphobia guidance is no doubt a concession to the Labour Party Muslim vote.

    Is there no end to the conveyor belt of destruction?

      There is no end to this satanic party. Add to their crimes:

      * Legalising suicide for OAPs
      * Slaughtering unborn children up to birth

    Flotsam – I was trying to work out the ‘time line ‘ of the digital thing .. making 2 assumptions – 1 – that TTK has 30 months to impose legislation on us – and 2 – that they are thrown out if we are allowed to vote in the next General Election.

    The digital thing seems to be a sort of distraction from real life as the project timeline means it will be instantly killed by whoever the new government is in 2029 ..

    As for the ‘conveyor belt ‘ you describe -it’s really difficult to guess the Marxist legislation they will bring in …

      I’m still wishing I live long enough to watch the twitching legs slowly but surely stopping twitching on the gallows permanently erected on Parliament Square. There’s only one politician who refers to Treason with regard to this Government’s actions. I wonder if a refreshed Government will seek the public’s views on the line-up at Parliament Square before re-introducing the Death Penalty for Treason.

    I’ve never known a Government so enthusiastic in its resolve to destroy everything that this country used to stand for.
    The sad thing for me is the spineless Labour MP’s that continue in their support to keep TTK in place.

      I’m afraid that you’re right, Pete!

      The British Citizen is now paying billions to bring in unwanted foreigners, whose avowed intent is to eliminate Christians and Jews here.

      The issue is also because Starmer spends his time being a lawyer and never a leader, and doesn’t mind ‘working pro bono’ to keep these unpleasant people over here, and also, going for the very soldiers who have protected him and us, for all those years. He must enjoy seeing Veterans worried about their lives – he’s shameful and a disgrace to Normal British Values of fairness and the expectation of protection, which he is totally failing to do.

      As you say, principles go out of the window when marxism wrings the necks of the very Citizens who pay for their evil, greed and general unpleasantness.

      The bBC’s ‘charter’ is safe all the time these scandalous hypocrites are in Whitehall.

    Scotland SNP ferry failure
    due to relying on computer models
    cost rose from £97m to near £1000m
    “The Glen Sannox ferry, built by Ferguson Marine, needs new propellers costing millions due to an original design untested in water tanks
    and only validated via computer models.
    Cracks have appeared in the hulls of both Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa, with £3 million already spent on repairs.”

          AI Overview
          Based on available reports regarding the construction of the MV Glen Sannox, the propellers themselves were not specifically reported to be made from Chinese steel.

          However, the marine-grade steel used for the construction of the hull was sourced from China.

          Steel Sourcing: The vessel’s original Turkish builder, Cemre, had planned to source steel from Mariupol, Ukraine, but switched to high-quality Chinese steel due to the outbreak of war and to meet production timelines.

          Propeller Issues: The Glen Sannox has experienced significant, ongoing issues with excessive hull vibrations, which have been linked to the propeller design.

          Propeller Replacement: As of March 2026, it was reported that the ferry requires new propellers to fix the root cause of the vibration, which has caused hull cracks.
          The Scotsman

          While the hull steel for the vessel was sourced from China, the reports focus on the propeller design and vibration issues rather than the material provenance of the propeller blades themselve

    Note that this video is based around the premise that the school was bombed by the US and it must be avenged…..the Iranians know the value of such propaganda….as does the BBC….funny how their interests coincide…a murderous terrorist regime and our national broadcaster…working together to demonise and attack Trump.

      Apostasy (renouncing Islam) is considered a capital crime in Saudi Arabia, often treated as blasphemy or treason and punishable by death. While the kingdom strictly enforces Sunni, Salafi/Wahhabi interpretations, and sentences, including death penalties, have been passed, actual executions for apostasy are relatively rare compared to other, more common, punishments like long prison terms.

      The latest one is that they sent me an email in February saying I MUST very my identity AGAIN to companies house AND confirm that I have done so between the dates 21 March to 3 April otherwise I may face a fine and prosecution through the courts or a financial penalty (ie another fine).

      And if I can’t do it in that 14 day window, I can apply for a 14 day extension but only during the given window.

      Pension Record Gaps (2025): With a crucial 6th April 2025 deadline approaching, individuals were warned that missing National Insurance (NI) contributions before 2018/2019 may be permanently lost, preventing them from topping up their state pension.

      Police National Computer Issues (2021-2025): Following the major loss of 150,000 police records in 2021 due to a “coding error”, the government has faced ongoing pressure to improve data management.

      Tony Blair-related “shredder” references primarily involve controversies over the destruction of expense records and a £50 itemized expense for a personal shredder.

    An ‘epidemic’ of violence: The women and girls killed by men last year
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg5nelp5enpo

    And here we have the BBC at it’s misandrist, sexist finest.

    Not women murdered. Not men murdered. Specifically women murdered by men. Another BBC ‘lie by constraining headline’ so they can totally ignore everything else which is inconvenient.

    First thing I notice is ‘epidemic’ is in single quotes but is being used to make an assertive fact.

    And sure enough we eventually discover:
    ‘Helena describes violence against women as an “epidemic”.’

    ‘Helena’ is someone whose daughter was killed by her husband. And who the BBC see fit to be the definitive expert on these murders – when if fact someone so emotionally involved should be the last person you ask. We are given no evidence whatsoever that there was an ‘epidemic’ and it is not questioned.

    Her daughter just happens to be in a picture with Sabina Nessa whose murder went very quickly under the carpet. It was around the same time as Sarah Everard. Sarah got vigils and massive coverage. Sabina didn’t. The BBC name the murderers in this article. Except Sabina’s. He was called Koci Selamaj from Albania.

    The article is more of the same : it will make the lower-IQ readers think that most murders in the UK are men killing women. There’s no point to dissect this one : it’s 100% feminist activism.

    A quick check of the ONS murder victims reveals other facts for 2025 which show the REAL significance of this article compared to the bigger picture.

    366 men were murdered compared to 155 women.

    There were 3 less women murdered by someone they knew than last year. And of the 111, 36 were men. So hardly an epidemic.

    And of course we are not given the ethnic breakdown of

    The homicide rate for the black ethnic group was FOUR times higher then the white ethnic group.

    I got AI to list the murders of women in 2025 with the names of the man convicted of the murder. Of the 23 it gave me, at least 9 of the names are not English.

    So 100% as expected, the REAL story is not being discussed at all.

    This kind of shameless selective outrage and racist bias is why the Left utterly disgust me with their lack of ethics. Almost everything they do is based on hate of 3 things : white people, white males and the Right. And everything they say is carefully calculated virtue-signalling.

    Since their total disregard for any of the victims of the rape gangs and how they are doing their level best to protect the Muslims who raped them, I cannot take anything these hypocrites say seriously. They would change their ‘opinion’ tomorrow if it suited them.

    As some may already know the Daily Telegraph has been purchased by the Axel Springer company, a big media group in Germany. The company is a centre right outfit which is supportive of Israel and much less critical of President Trump than most of the media.
    So there might be some hope that the Telegraph stops it’s anti Trump campaign and becomes more even handed in its treatment of Israel v Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah etc. Plus it may increase its push back against the Islamification of our own country.
    On balance this must be a much better outcome than it being owned by Arab oil money which was a real possibility.
    Having said that there ave been some extraordinarily anti Trump anti Israel pieces regarding the Iran war in the newspaper in recent days. Essentially because the war is 10 days old and the Iranian people haven’t risen up and deposed the brutal Mullahs and IRG murders the regime is on the way to victory and Trump was an idiot for starting the war.
    These journalists are either suffering from extreme TDS or are just following the Globalist line of fearing a USA/Israeli victory more than a return to the status quo. The Globalists think that they can live with the Mad Mullahs in Iran more comfortably than they can with a triumphant anti globalist President!
    They are of course deluded and their delusion threatens all of us. Israel and the USA are fighting for all of us not just themselves.

    HMS Dragon departs UK for eastern Mediterranean
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0k1yyg475ko

    This is an excellent article to demonstrate how the BBC are supporting Starmer as much as they possibly can.

    The whole article reads like it is good news. And they make sure to give him his full title as they always do for people they support:

    ‘Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer earlier approved “defensive” US action against Iranian missile sites from UK bases.’

    What a whopping lie by omission. There is PLENTY more to say about that : if it suited them, the BBC would be stressing the huge International criticism of Starmer’s response and pointing out how he has broken the ‘special relationship’ with our most powerful ally.

    And they casually mention:

    ‘It will be the UK’s first and only warship in the region when it arrives in about a week.’
    ‘HMS Dragon’s primary role will be protecting RAF Akrotiri, which was hit with an Iranian-made drone earlier this month.’

    What ???. Who is been protecting it for the nearly THREE WEEKS it will be when the ship finally gets there ?. Another deliberate omission from the BBC to avoid criticism of Starmer.

    All because the BBC don’t give a shit what happens or who dies as long as the Reform don’t win the next election. EVERYTHING they do is part of their global Leftist social engineering attempts.

      As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.

      Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.

      ‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

    British ‘hunter-killer’ submarine… HMS Anson, equipped with Spearfish torpedoes and missiles, quietly slips away from port in Western Australia, fuelling speculation it is en route to Middle East – it didn’t ‘slip way’ all that ‘quietly’ did it? As the left-leaning i paper goes all gung-ho.

    We should believe all sex abuse victims, urges Queen (Times) – Camilla there with the platitudinous tautology – if someone is a victim of something then they are indeed a victim of that thing – and that’s true.

Today we say… Ban pro-Iran hate march – never mind the anti-Semitism, feel the male chauvinism (to borrow from Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width that old ITV comedy about the two tailors, one Jewish and one Irish Catholic)

    Sex Wars

    So, we can now explain Trump’s war on Iran and our own British belatedly getting onboard with the conflict because of the Ayatollah’s sexism. We begin to see a pattern. We invaded Afghanistan so girls could go to school and as Boris Johnson pointed out Putin invaded Ukraine and we have to resist him because of his toxic masculinity. The scales fall from our eyes.

    And despite (or perhaps because of) Mother’s Day comes hard on the high heels of International Women’s Day, the Mail frets: I donated my eggs – then I found I couldn’t get pregnant

    “MPs demand urgent action on London grooming gangs” BBC
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c24dyjlypd9o
    The government’s inquiry into grooming gangs “must look specifically at London as part of its local investigations”, according to a group of MPs.

    ……………… and Bradford city of UK culture …..

    “Five local inquiries, which cannot compel the production of evidence, just will not do. Fifty towns were affected, not five. Bradford, where some of the worst abuse occurred, is refusing to co-operate with any inquiry at all. There has never been an inquiry in Bradford, because the council is refusing to participate.

    ………………..

    “If you’d asked me the day before that press conference how many young teenage girls had been groomed and exploited in Rotherham over the time period the report covered, I would have guessed 150,” he said. He was “staggered” to hear Prof Jay reveal how 1,400 girls had been abused, trafficked to other cities, or had petrol poured on them. “They were treated like sub-human species for the pleasure of these men,” he added.

      An issue that arises from the Pakistani rape gangs is the long term damage it has done to the victims. There will be a large number of girls/women who will have profound psychiatric problems resulting in relationship and social issues. There will be an ongoing cost and damage to our society where these gangs are prevalent.

    WHAT DOES BRITANNIA DO WITH THE WAVES NOW……?

    Perhaps we should be grateful, at least the last few days of Middle eastern activity have proved one thing, simply, that Britain no longer has a Navy .

    This realisation will help to settle all those who were puzzled about why the Royal Navy did not appear in the channel to curtail the daily invasion of small boats.
    The Navy wasn’t there because it has no seaworthy ships available.
    It’s brutal but true. All those who thought there was some strange subtle plot to undermine the nation’s security were overlooking something too horribly apparent. That there was nothing to do anything with.

    Despite all this , the BBC are bringing plenty to cheer us all up

    1) Rachel Reeves, tells us that problems in the middle East may lead to prices going up here in GB…this is encouraging ,as she clearly does understand some economics.

    2) Mastermind Lammy will end the problems in the criminal justice system by ending the meddling,time wasting,thicko juries involvement in much of “justice”
    ( Incidently, nobody is talking about the real problem , which is a lack of court staff…not just judges..)
    3) Most important of all, everything is Trumps fault, so what if Iran had a Nuclear weapons grade enrichment programme, it proves nothing , blah,blah,blah,

    Thanks BBC, oh and very important to learn about new bank notes showing images of lovely cuddly animals, great item, well done

    Ok – as a keyboard warrior / armchair general – what is the outcome of Iran ? Answer – a weakened country that will rebuild itself – with neighbours armed to the teeth for when the US / Israel attacks it again as evidence grows of more missiles and the nuclear bomb is developed again ….

    Will there be regime change ? No – the most active resistance was slaughtered in January – could / would Israel / US invade ? Can’t see it – risk too high …. And coffins with US flags is not a good thing / sight ….

    Another 2 weeks and it’s done …. Unless the Iranians sink oil tankers or attack its neighbours again ….

    Meanwhile – the tubes in Londonistan are going on strike again – the ISIS line will be most affected …

    “Yes, a video has circulated online showing a man, identified in news reports as an Afghan immigrant named Gulwali Stanekzay, attempting to kick down a door after an unprovoked attack on a woman in North-West London in 2023. ”

    he victim, Aisha Waris, was walking alone when Stanekzay, who was cycling, began to chase and attack her.
    She fled into a nearby front garden, where he continued the assault. A brave homeowner opened their door to let her in for safety.
    Footage from a doorbell camera captured the man repeatedly punching the woman before she was let inside. The video then shows him attempting to force his way into the house by kicking the front door.
    After failing to gain entry, he damaged a nearby parked car and attacked the homeowner’s father who had arrived on the scene.

    Like hell it does. At the very least it will have an immediate ‘chilling effect’ on legitimate criticism of the religion of war, terror and antisemitism. And it will get worse: the paper contains the statement that the definition of Islamophobia “may need to evolve over time.” Let that sink in.
