    I’m hoping, Scrobie as I like to call him, will be here soon. Before my editing time is up!

    Otherwise I will have to post as wasteful as the BBC is. The Licence Fee is too expensive. I do not expect to pay £355,000 a year for Scot Mills salary. The BBC is very wasteful on salaries and recruitment! The BBC is overstaffed as it is. Apparently over 100 people in the pronunciation department and they cannot get Hezbollah’s name right. It is Hizbollah and not HezbollAR. Another moan is that the BBC are anti-President Trump, anti-Israel, pro-Palestine and on the side of Hamas. Defund the BBC!

      BBC asks Huw Edwards to return more than £200,000
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clynjvve0gvo

      The ex-presenter “behaved in bad faith” in continuing to take his salary despite knowing what he had done, said BBC Chair Samir Shah in a letter to staff.

      Disgraced BBC News presenter Huw Edwards has been given a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, after he admitted charges of making indecent images of children.

      I’m afraid that a cosy room and a tincture rather took over last evening, Uppers, and the next think I knew it was gone 10.00pm, and Lily wanted to go out…

      I agree with all your sentiments, so that saved me from having to type your comments! Thank you!

      Thinking of pronunciation, as I usually listen to Talk Radio when I’m around, their ads often have people who are unable to pronounce a word with two ‘o’s… There’s one which irritates me, as it’s for Boots, and the name comes out as ‘Bearts’. I’ve noticed this in lots of other ads, and luckily, it’s easy to say, ‘Alexa, volume one’, when they all start up! The ads for solar panels and heat pumps, clearly paid for by you and me and put out by the manic clown Millibandwidth, are even worse, with truly faked voices, so they need avoiding as well!

      When the bBC has to start being commercial, and stop putting out dross, and paying over-the-top wages for inferiority, they might like to address this lazy attitude to the English language!

    As we all know, Starmer was head of the CPS. A big, difficult and demanding job, he must have deserved his Knighthood for all that dedication.
    Well, here’s what I think. I reckon it’s one of the easiest top jobs going. For a start the bulk of actual work is done by his juniors. The CPS’s main role is to decide whether to prosecute a case or not based on the evidence collected by the Police (mostly). So who is going to question the decision whichever way it goes? It’s an opinion, right or wrong. The Justice Minister and Attorney General oversee the CPS but they are both normally Lawyers who probably won’t trouble a fellow Lawyer.
    Really tricky and contentious cases never crossed Starmer’s desk anyway.

      “As Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) from 2008 to 2013, Sir Keir Starmer oversaw several high-profile and often controversial cases. His tenure was marked by efforts to modernize the CPS and a focus on violent crime, though he faced criticism over specific handling of child sex exploitation cases.”

      marked by efforts to modernize the CPS – ignore cases?

      The “Twitter Joke Trial” (2012): Paul Chambers was prosecuted for a joke tweet about blowing up Robin Hood Airport. The case was widely criticized, and while the CPS pursued the case, the conviction was eventually quashed.

    The government has decided to give food waste caddies another go, but with the threat of heavy fines if you get it wrong. (I hadn’t realised that the previous attempt had been abandoned).

    I have just had my caddy delivered. It is shoddy with a clever locking device involving the handle. With a bit of luck it might last 6 months, for families with children, I guess a maximum of 3. The council has kindly given us 50 compostable bags, after that we have to buy them. I guess, especially in summer, it will mean a new bag every day. Tonight we ate fresh salmon (good for us you know). If the Council thinks I am having salmon skins stinking out my kitchen during the summer, they can think again. I have a south facing kitchen, at present the rubbish goes in the bin under the counter, in the shade. There is no room for the caddy there. So under threat of heavy fines, I now have to spend money on waste bags, and have a stinking kitchen which may become a health hazard. I bet a large section of the population won’t bother, especially if English isn’t their first language and they don’t read the threatening leaflets.

    Could the BBC do a story on how well this will work.

      Debs, we received ours this week too. I don’t have enough space for my own things in our tiny kitchen. I’m not stuffing something else in there. We already compost a good deal of our food waste and leftover bread goes to the birds. The bags don’t look durable enough to hold bits of meat or wet compost like sauces. Mr P put the caddy in the shed. I’m not using it.

        Tunbridge Wells BC stuck stickers all over the household bins recently, saying that ‘burning food was expensive’.

        I never bothered before as my compost heap used to thrive on left-overs, (if Lily hadn’t gobbled the lot), but it’s a bit of a trek to go there these days, so I have to admit that I have succumbed, and I have a slimmer dog than before…

        However, I despair for citizens who have to see their streetscape obliterated with ugly coloured plastic bins, cluttering up the place, some beautiful streets I saw in Oxford looked like Beirut!

        It’s also amazing that badgers and foxes know how to flip the ugly orange bins over and chuck everything around… Perhaps Chris Packham could do a twenty-hour series on those particular ‘benefits’ to nobody!

        Don’t expect the bBC to offer any comfort, their rubbish just gets squirted over the airwaves, and never in the bins!

    Remarkable that in a long, long anti-Orban tract the BBC fails to mention immigration once….note the wishful thinking of the article heading…the BBC always hating Orban…

    ‘After 16 years in power, can Viktor Orban finally be unseated?’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czd7y1n3jyjo

    Orban’s opponent, Peter Magyar, is a pro-Brussels lawyer….so stand-by for Hungary to be destroyed should he win and the borders be flung open to allow the invasion of rapists and other criminals along with those whose only intent is to conquer and colonise Hungary for Islam. Any wonder the BBC fails to mention the looming threat…the same one they cheerlead for in Britain.

    To continue my theme from yesterday:

    Dear BBC, we don’t give a shit about this one either.

    More off-the-scale empathy porn which you quickly realise is actually just about these people wanting compensation.

    Maybe they do BBC – but why are you writing such ridiculously long articles about it for the BBC news front page ?.

    Who decides where all their free money is spent ?. Why are they wasting it on pointless tripe like this which has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone who has been forced to pay for it ?.

    The old trick / deceit of putting out ‘bad news ‘ applies this Easter weekend . 3 ‘men ‘ have been charged with the arson of 4 ambulances in Golders Green owned by a Jewish charity .

    Strangely thd 3 charged dont have Jewish names ( one can’t be named as he was under 18 ) but there names look … Muslim …. They are both from east Londonistan – the charity doesn’t operate there ..

    You might recall that certain Muslim politicians said the crime was committed by infidels to tarnish the religion of peace …

    No doubt the next ‘trick ‘,of the TTK state is to bury the case like the Manchester airport one and his 3 Ukrainian rent boys with Hermer presiding over the corruption of the legal system …with all getting the weakest prosecution available and the strongest defence ….

      Three Pakis, Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, and a 17-year-old boy.

      Woke police still refuse to call it a terrorist incident.

      Police said this week the incident was not ‘at this stage’ declared as terrorism – but circumstances meant counter terror detectives have been leading the probe.

      Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said: ‘Since this appalling attack last week, we have been working continuously to investigate and identify those responsible.

      Bet this woman has never arrested anyone in her life, but says the right thing at press meetings, to the ministers and has a degree in sociology or similar.

      I hope those three rats get twenty years each and the bill for their incarceration gets sent to the Pakistan Embassy.

        So, just in case it was ever going to be in doubt, this was, according to our beloved BBC a (predominantly) British crime.

    In the coming predicted UK civil war by Prof Betts and others the Gates of Vienna website suggested the actors would be: crown, crescent, and pitchfork. My suggestion was to add another group called ‘junkie’. After Clapham my suggestion is to add a group called ‘looter’.

    ‘Junkie’ with their addiction to other peoples taxes will still be important in bringing things to a head, however the violence of ‘looter’ will be required to plunge the situation towards scenes seen in countries such as Haiti.

    Big retail companies such as M&S will close up and pull out of urban junk cities such as londonistan. We can look to junk cities in the US such as SF and Seattle for what a boarded up retail landscape will look like.

    Cop fiasco edition

    Our BBC, still hungry for it?

    After 16 years in power, can Viktor Orban finally be unseated? – asks the BBC, hopefully.

    Not that most licence payers would ever be particularly interested in middle european politics; an election campaign battle between Fidesz and Tisza might as well be a falling out between two Teletubbies for all they know or care.

    But our BBC appears to care dearly: A victory for Fidesz in this election would add momentum to the chances of far-right parties in France, Germany, Poland, Spain and Portugal. Defeat for Fidesz would take some of the wind out of their sails. “While the rest of Europe is being sucked into the radical nationalist tunnel, we can show the way out,” a senior Tisza official told me. – BBC in the guise of Nick Thorpe, Budapest correspondent. (I guessed we might get a “far-right” with that)

    I like to see a close juxtaposition of clashing headlines that hints toward the falsity of a prevailing media narrative.

    And as TV game show host Les Dennis used to say, “Our survey said…”

    The Guardian obliges this morning: Warnings of ‘masculinity crisis’ in our schools as teachers face abuse in class… A quarter of female teachers have been the target of misogyny over the past 12 months, with reports of rape jokes and nude AI images, a survey has found

    Meanwhile, surveying the Gruan front page, past the pic of the astronauts that puts the woman and the black guy centre stage (first DFS sofa pilots in space?) we alight on the feature teaser: Quiz How bad is your brain rot?

    Rape jokes? All I’ve got is the grooming gang victim who told police “I’ve been graped” – don’t you mean raped, asked the cop. “No, there was a bunch of them”, she replied… before they arrested her because she was English and her attackers were Pakistanis.

    More from the feature I like to call News from the Patriarchy…

    The i paper Saturday iteration tends to imitate that long-defunct feminist magazine Spare Rib (where’s the need for a special interest publication – when feminist needs, opinions and interests are met daily throughout the mainstream?): Ashley James I refuse to marry father of my children; & Emma Barnet Winning in a man’s world (i Weekend)

    The mildly conservative Telegraph: Stand by your sexist… Meet the women of the manosphere

    We’ve also a welcome return of that semi-regular feature You Guessed It, He’s Black…

    Boy, 14, shot dead in Woolwich named… Eghosa Ogbebor, 14, was shot dead in Woolwich on Thursday… An 18-year-old girl who lives on Lord Warwick Street, and did not want to be named, said… “A shooting is surprising, but there has been quite a lot going on around this area, down there, the past couple of years.” (BBC) – you can say that again, luv. Frankly, the lad looks older than 14.

    To quote Mayor Khan, slightly out of context, he was talking about preparing for terrorist attacks (and this shooting will turn out to be a clash between regular black gang-bangers): “part and parcel of living in a big city”

    Speaking of which – our cops are stretching credulity of this not being a terror attck to Orwellian levels on this one: Three charged over Jewish charity ambulance fires… Two British men – Hamza Iqbal, 20, and Rehan Khan, 19… both from Leyton… – and a 17-year-old boy who is a dual British-Pakistani national… from Walthamstow… have all been charged with arson with intent to damage property and being reckless as to whether life would be endangered… Counter-terror police are leading the investigation, but the incident “has not been declared as terrorism” at this stage, the Met said. (Lucy Manning, Special correspondent)

    I can’t leave it there without referencing the front page of the Sun: Exclusive: Khan’t make it up… Sadiq guards leave bag of guns in London street… Cop fiasco… Mini arsenal… bag of weapons left by cops guarding Sir Sadiq Khan… Five officers believed to have forgotten the holdall found on a kerbside… including an MP5 semi-automatic Heckler & Kock carbine, a Glock pistol, Taser and ammunition

    Good to know the person of our London mayor is so well guarded (sic). And remember folks: London is a safe city, says Sadiq Khan as teenage mob storms Clapham… Mayor dismisses ‘false propaganda’ about crime in capital during second night of disorder (Telegraph, 1st April – but as far as I can judge – this was nothing to joke about)

      Trump has caught Starmer interfering in the Hungarian election. British Ambassador to Hungary, Justin McKenzie Smith, held a closed-doors meeting with pro-Western activists and journalists in Budapest on March 4. The event was organised in conjunction with Political Capital, a think tank funded by the European Commission and George Soros. Orban is expected to win. So the British and EU have been caught paying to fix the opinion polls to show the opposition 23 points ahead of Orban. Then when Orban wins, the EU will declare the election illegitimate. Hungary would then be suspended by the EU, removing its EU veto powers. Then the EU can give Ukrainian politicians €90 billion of EU taxpayer money as bribes to prevent elections in the Ukraine, by continuing with the war.

    Our favourite “Worlds Trusted” broadcaster tells us, in their first version, that a bag of guns and ammo was found by a member of the public outside the muslim mayor’s house. A later version tells us the guns were found, “on a street in London”(istan). “Five Met police officers have been suspended”. This is another ‘guess the names/religion of the perps’ debacle. Before the conspirator buffs get to the issue, I’d just like to say that a police officer just dumping the guns on a street would know that he/she/it had done that by arrangement. Me? well I think the guns were donated by muslim police officers to be ‘picked up’ by the mayor’s bodyguards for their use and/or indirectly donated to the mayors preferred ‘religion’.

    US continues search for missing crew member from downed jet as Iran offers reward for their capture
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm29zmpdj3vt

    The BBC are in a frenzy over this absolute non-story. I wonder if they will all cheer if they hear Iran has caught the airman ?.

    Their coverage is totally out of context with reality. They write like there is equivalence between the USA and Iran and the underdog is doing great. Nothing could be further from the truth.

    What they SHOULD be doing is hammering Starmer for the catastrophic mistake he has made over this war. In a world which is rapidly turning to shit, the USA is the only country which shares our values of freedom and will fight for them. The EU is already lost as this war has shown. They are scared of upsetting the Muslim population who respond with intimidation, violence and terrorism.

    It’s reassuring to see the amount of notice the lack of Easter message from the sultan of Windsor is still getting … i dont think there’ll be many mourning when the reaper comes for him …
    I suppose he will be buried under full Islamic ritual …

    One of the favourite questions interviewers like to ask the woke virtue signalling lefties is if they would take an immigrant/asylum seeker/dinghy boy to live in their home

    I’d like to see a follow up question to that. Would they take in a homeless British person, a military veteran living on the streets for example.

    Maybe we could then pass their addresses on to our homeless heroes who could pop round and move in.

      “Concerns are rising over the alleged misuse of the UK’s Motability scheme, which allows disabled individuals to lease new cars using their benefit payments. Reports suggest some recipients are opting for high-end Electric Vehicles (EVs) (e.g., BMW, Mercedes), leading to accusations of a “scam” by critics who argue the scheme should be limited to cheaper, practical vehicles. ”

      Shouldn’t prestige brands be excluded?
      Another prominent claim: Motability is giving “subsidised BMWs” and “50-grand Mercs” to people who do not need them. And it’s true that if you search the Motability website, you can find premium cars.

      But the vast majority are much more ordinary: economy brands make up 94% of Motability’s fleet. And there’s a ceiling of £45,000 on petrol and diesel cars (£55,000 for electric), because cars costing more than that depreciate too fast to be viable.

    As Easter passes – and events go on I wonder if the righteous suspicion that there is a member of Islam on the throne who won’t admit it – gets stronger … the new hyper woke Archbishop of Canterbury is … silent .. well she ( ugh ) would be wouldn’t she …. ? And of course the sultan in waiting probably signed up to Mohammed as well …

    Trump says missing US crew member from downed jet rescued in ‘daring’ operation in Iran
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm29zmpdj3vt

    How disappointing for the BBC.

    The story will now be completely dropped as it puts Trump in a good light.

    If Iran had got him, it would have been running as a daily headline for days.

    The BBC are only interested is casting anything Trump does in a bad light. They don’t give a shit about that pilot. Here’s another headline:

    ‘ICE wanted to build a detention centre – this small farming town said no’
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cje47vy0w3ko

    Look – Americans disapprove of what ICE are doing.

    But reading the article, you discover they DO support ICE. But they don’t want a detention centre full of illegal immigrants in their backyard. Absolutely understandable.

    It’s another dirty piece from the poisonous Madeline Halpert who suffers from extreme TDS. It’s got every dirty ’empathy porn’ trick we have come to expect from the BBC now. It’s stuffed with phrases like this:

    ‘Each morning the two get into their cars and drive several miles down the farm-lined roads of their small Georgia town to an empty one-million square-foot gray warehouse.
    On arrival, they search meticulously for signs of construction, breathing a sigh of relief each time the massive property appears untouched.’

    Not ‘news’ in any way, shape or form. It’s purely to provoke emotion.

    Her problem is that the Town overwhelmingly voted for Trump – but she still find a Democrat to interview:

    ‘Gareth Fenley, a Democrat, says she is worried about the human-rights issues that a detention centre could bring to the town’

    The more desperate people like Madeline get to express their hatred of Trump, the more extreme and ridiculous their article are getting. This one is pure activism shoehorned to fit within the BBC’s rules.

    This is Madeline who write so copiously about Trump for front-page BBC articles:
    ‘In November 2016, two girls were rooming together at a student journalism conference in Michigan. Their names were Madeline Halpert, age 17, and Eva Rosenfield, age 16. On their first night together, Madeline caught a glimpse of a prescription bottle in Eva’s luggage. She recognized the prescription, as it the same one she had been prescribed the year before: Prozac, a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor that is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, and panic disorders.’

    Sounds perfect for the BBC and it’s clone freakshow. They are all extremely odd if you see them in a video.

    Of course they want money from us…

    Brexit reset will cost Britain £3bn a year… Brussels is demanding that Britain pays for trade barriers to be reduced… (Express)

    Mr AsI has always contended there two main reasons the Europeans tolerated British membership of their club. A membership afterall about which Charles de Gaulle famously said “Non”. Nabbing our fishing grounds was incidental. Brussels true desire was on our monetary contribution, to help fund their budgetary ambitions (Germany can’t be expected to carry the whole burden) and free movement, because Britain will tend to act as a magnet to relieve the unemployment difficulties mainly suffered in the Club Med nations.

    Hence Starmer’s desire for a reset will entail: EU threat to sink Brexit deal over tuition fees… wants European students to pay the same fees as Britons and has said it could block PM’s reset plans (Telegraph, 15 March); Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faces fresh pressure from Brussels over youth mobility as EU-UK talks on a post-Brexit youth experience scheme remain deadlocked. (Express, 17 March)

    Why the insistance on easing the entry of European youth into Britain – and how come if we all accept the clearing away of cross border trade barriers makes us all weathier, then why demand Britain pay for that manifest universal benefit?

    Ah, European youth… I’ve likely shared hereabouts the personal anecdote of one’s children at school in the twenty tens. “We’ve a new Dutch boy starting in our class this term daddy” Oh, what’s his name? “Ali”

    “Daddy, we’ve a new girl in class today – she’s from Norway” Oh, what’s her name? “Fatima”

    Your Mr AsI’s early motivation for the Sisyphean task of monitering the daily newspapers hereabouts was to challenge that old saw – candidly deployed by BBC journos who would admit to some left-wing bias – that they were only a balancing counter to a “Tory Press”.

    Well, some popular titles may well have been Tory but they were – and increasingly evidently – certainly not conservative.

    The supposedly “Tory-graph“, that I like to damn with faint praise using the honorific prefix “mildly conservative” Telegraph shows how to top the BBC online news page print press line-up this morning with a totally BBC-compliant top headline and frontpage feature photo.

    Trump gives Iran hellfire ultimatum… Israel ready to attack regime’s energy sites as search goes on for missing US airman (Telegraph)

    In case you were wondering, since the papers went to press… despite what the president says your BBC is still wondering: Trump says missing US crew member from downed jet rescued in ‘daring’ operation in Iran (BBC)

    They won’t take his word for it of course.

    Champagne super rowers – is the “Tory-graph” really attempting to channel mad-for-it Mancunian bad boy rockers Oasis (“Champagne Supernova” 1995 from the album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?) – stop the world, I want to get off.

    Annie Anezakis left and Kyra Delray – you guessed it, she’s black.

    Well, that’s the Boat Race fully diversified. I suppose we shouldn’t complain – We’d rather see one or two young black girls in the Oxford rowing team than a hundred of them ram-raiding Mark and Spencer in Clapham.

    On the subject of formerly conservative-minded titles succumbing to the language of the left…

    Not all black people should be tolerated – apparently

    Starmer’s ‘concern’… PM slams Kanye gig after Nazi row (The Sun)

    It could just be that this is a spoofy report. One notes Two-Tier Sir Keir’s ‘concern’ in scare quotes. And then there’s the disambiguation of their photos on the cover of the Sun: Sir Keir. Rapper West, right

    Thank goodness they pointed out which was which. I jest of course. As we all know, Kanye West is the chap who looks as though he has a bit of personality about him. And Keir is the one prone to occasional extremist outbursts.

      Although there appears to be no direct link between the cases – I’d wager serious money that the two groups know each other.

      Pakistan is a festering sump of corruption

      Key points from the Sunday Times investigation:

      It describes the same British Asian organised crime network operating for over 20 years across London, Buckinghamshire, Birmingham, northwest England, and Scotland.

      Fraud methods:

      Massive VAT carousel/missing trader fraud,

      Benefit/tax credit fraud (including “ghost” workers and fake NI numbers),

      Mortgage/credit card fraud, identity fraud, and infiltration of government agencies (e.g., Post Office).

      Scale:

      ~£8 billion stolen from UK taxpayers/public funds, with ~1% (£80 million) allegedly funnelled to Al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan (funding madrasahs, training camps, and reportedly reaching Osama bin Laden’s circle).

      Terror links: Direct connections identified by HMRC to Shehzad Tanweer (one of the 7/7 London bombers) at least two years before the 2005 attacks — specifically, associates involved in multi-identity fraud, phoenix trading, tax evasion, and money laundering. Also linked to Abu Hamza (who allegedly helped recruit young British Muslims into the fraud schemes in the late 1990s).

      Prosecutions: Mid-ranking members were convicted in linked trials, receiving over 100 years of combined jail sentences for fraud and money laundering. However, senior figures reportedly evaded full accountability; many details remained suppressed by court orders (anonymity/reporting restrictions dating back nearly a decade at the time).

      Institutional issues: Criticism of HMRC for not fully sharing intelligence with MI5/Special Branch due to tax confidentiality rules, leading to missed opportunities to disrupt the network earlier.

      The Sunday Times explicitly stated it was prevented from naming many gang members or ringleaders due to those court orders.

      No full public list of senior individuals or specific named “Pakistan-based criminal gangs” (as distinct organisations) appears in the coverage — the focus stays on this UK-based syndicate with financial/personnel ties to Al Qaeda/Pakistan. Some follow-up pieces (including in The Times) mentioned possible links to Pakistan’s ISI in broader intelligence files, but these were not central to the main exposé.

      The administrative state f’s up and the courts move in to protect the guilty.

      Pretty clear what Naz Shah is – and who she’s been in bed with.

    Nowt on the BBC yet…if it had been Reform people?

    ‘The Sunday Times says Muslim MPs Ayoub Khan, Perry Barr, B’ham ( Ind) Naz Shah, Bradford West ( Lab) and Afzal Khan, Rusholme ( Lab) attended public meetings here to promote luxury flats being built in Dubai by a Pakistani father and son duo banned from this country and wanted in their own.
    The MPs claim they had no idea that the pair had links to corruption or that they had lost a High Court case having to forfeit £190million.
    I’m sure voters would like to see the two Labour MPs investigated for their endorsements which were used on the websites selling the Dubai flats.
    But I imagine cowardly Starmer will not want to lose the Muslim vote were he to delve too deeply.’

    Nazi Shah claims she knew nothing and ony ‘very briefly’ attended a launch party…forgetting to mention she did a promotional video for these crooks as I understand.

    The same Nazi Shah that the BBC only recently did a puff piece for.

    Funny how quick they are to deploy the, what we might call, ‘Starmer Defence’….’I knew nothing guv! Honest’.

    How many times recently has Starmer used that? Mst famously eh did so when Savile was let off the hook by the CPS when run by Starmer. This was one of the most famous, well-connected and hgh-profile people in Britain and Starmer claims his deputy made the decision not to prosecute without any reference to his boss…ie Starmer? Pull the other one.

    BBC made a huge song and dance about a Reform candidate doing a nazi slaute…despite the fact that it was clearly a joke and mockery….obvious from the photo itself….not least from what the guy said….

    ‘A statement from Edwards appeared to suggest he had been both imitating the sitcom character Basil Fawlty as well as former Welsh international goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, who was involved in a row over an alleged Nazi salute in 2019 which he denied at the time.’

    And then the telling bit…a sad reflection on politics and the media today where you can be vilified and made to appear guilty by the likes of the BBC….

    ‘Edwards said on Thursday he recognised the photo “from many years ago” looked “bad” and “could be misinterpreted”.’

    Yep…deiberately misinterpreted.

    The BBC complains about abuse politicians and candidates get and says it puts people off from wanting to do the job…but it’s not just social media abuse is it? It’s abuse and lies from the MSM which portrays anyone on the right as goose-stepping neo-Nazis who want to re-enact the Third…never mind it is the authoritarian Labour Party along with the Greens and their Muslim allies who seem far more inclined to go that route.
