Popeye- well spotted ! Getty’s must of got

I don’t believe they have hardly any white models.Or

Actually I am exaggerating a bit. You do see a white women

For white male advertising models.Either Getty’s don’t have any.
Or the BBC make them persona non grata.
“If you tell Google that you would like to see images of ‘Black men’ the images that come up are all portrait photos of black men. Indeed, it takes more than a dozen rows of images before anybody who isn’t black comes up in the images. By contrast a search for ‘White men’ first throws up an image of David Beckham – who is white – but then the second is of a black model. From there every line of five images has either one or two black men in the line-up. Many of the images of white men are of people convicted of crimes with taglines such as ‘Beware of the average white man’ and ‘White men are bad’.”

It seems that a man called Kanye has been saying dreadful things about Jews. And he has been banned from entering the country…. But not very long ago ……I think it was him…yet I’m not sure he appeared under another name ( he changes it from time to time) ..anyway , using the name bob vylan…or possibly using the name Pascal Robinson- Foster he was shouting anti semetic things and the BBC broadcast it to millions and it was ok. No problem , no thresholds crossed. Confusing or what.
So what has changed? ……even the usually oh, so very reliable Wes STREETING has said it’s bad…..so it must be. Wes is a great guy , I remember him saying only last year , how since getting into office he had ended the Doctors strike , in an efficient way , after years of Tory misrule. Wes knows what’s what.

The window tax was a 17th-century British tax on residential windows, used as a proxy for wealth and income tax. Introduced in 1696 under William III, it aimed to tax the wealthy while sparing the poor, but led to widespread “daylight robbery”—the boarding up of windows to avoid payment, causing poor health and dark living conditions. The tax was repealed in 1851 after 150 years.

EARTHSET Captured by NASA Artemis II Astronauts when flying around the Moon
I guess we find out today whether Trump goes through with his threats, I can’t see the Iran bods caving in just yet! I read they are asking young people to sit in the target areas to create a civilian death catastrophe. if this happens it’s surely on the heads of the Iranian head honchos?
Why does the BBC always always try to dismiss claims that Christians are being targeted by Muslims in Nigeria?
Curious that the BBC’s concern is not that many Christians have been killed but a dispute about people being rescued or not….an odd priority…or maybe not if you want to hide what’s going on.
Spot what’s missing….
Locals dispute Nigerian army claim of 31 rescued after Easter attack’ ‘Residents of a Nigerian community have disputed the army’s assertion that it rescued 31 civilians held hostage following a Sunday morning church attack in the north.
The army had said that it freed the civilians seized by gunmen who had raided a church in Ariko, Kaduna state, during Easter celebrations. The authorities said five civilians had been killed, but a local church official put the number of dead at seven.
But the president of the Ariko community association, Joseph Ariko, told the BBC that the captives were still unaccounted for, and asked the army to name the rescued. “As far as we are concerned, all the abducted victims are still with the bandits.”
The army has not yet responded.
It had said that soldiers engaged the attackers in a “fierce firefight”, forcing them to flee and leave the hostages and the bodies of the dead victims behind.’
Takes them a while to admit there might be more to this…
‘Attacks and kidnappings for ransom are common occurrences in northern Nigeria, as the country grapples with security threats from jihadist groups and armed gangs, locally known as bandits.’
Maybe jihadists….or bandits/gunmen….the BBC finally, lol, settles for bandits….
‘In a separate incident, Nigeria’s military killed 65 bandits following an offensive in Zamfara state, the AFP news agency reported on Sunday, days after a large group of bandits abducted residents from villages in the state.’
Meanwhile Spiked reports…
‘The shameful silence over Nigeria’s Palm Sunday massacre’
‘On Palm Sunday this year, on Saturday 29 March, Christians in the city of Jos in northern Nigeria’s Plateau State saw AK-wielding jihadists enter their city on motorbike. Dozens were then slaughtered. One local leader told me of the pain of praying with a single mother whose 17-year-old son was murdered. Another woman was pregnant when she was shot dead.
In the days following the attack, some Muslim mobs have roamed the city, looking for Christians to kill. It is unclear why security forces have not stopped them.
In nearby Kaduna state, over a dozen Christians were killed during a wedding celebration, with many others kidnapped for ransom. The next day, near Chibok in northeast Nigeria (the same Chibok where hundreds of mostly Christian schoolgirls were kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014), another dozen Christians were killed by the Islamic State – West Africa Province.
Christian charity Open Doors found nearly 3,500 Christians targeted and murdered for their faith in 2025, and they consider that likely an undercount.
The mainstream media have buried their heads in the sand. If Christians are the victims, it’s a story to be explained away. If Islamist jihadists are the perpetrators, they must have been inspired to act by anything else besides religion.
The facts are plain as day that Christians continue to be targeted for their faith with alarming regularity in northern Nigeria. Mainstream media ignorance is inexcusable.
And no one – let alone the media – should ignore the brutality of the Islamist jihadists responsible.’
Only at the very end of the BBC’s piece do they raise the issue that this is a ‘genocide’ against Christians…but of course the BBC always always tries to deny that.
‘Trump had previously claimed there was a “Christian genocide” under way in Nigeria – an allegation strongly rejected by Nigeria’s government, which said Muslims, Christians and people of no faith were victims of attacks.’
Elon Musk reposted: The British government hid this data for years. Now it is out. 79% of everyone arrested for theft on British railways was a foreigner. 40% of all arrests. 37% of sexual offenses. 36% of violent crimes. All foreign nationals. They knew exactly what the consequences of their immigration policy were. They just never told you: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2041396797378310362
NATO wants strikes against Russia, to stop Christians from invading Europe, but Trump says that the Islamic states that support strikes on Iran are the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait. NATO’s Islamic states that oppose strikes on Iran are France and the United Kingdom.
iirc – HMS Dragon has had chronic “cooling systems” issues ….
Sea is 17–18°C there at this time of year….
The ships use an integrated electric propulsion system powered primarily by Rolls-Royce WR-21 gas turbines with a Northrop Grumman intercooler-recuperator for efficiency. The intercooler was designed and optimized for cooler North Atlantic/North Sea conditions. In warmer waters (like the Persian Gulf or Mediterranean in summer), the seawater used for cooling is not cold enough to sufficiently lower the temperature of intake air. This causes the gas turbines to overheat, lose efficiency, shut down, or trigger protective trips.
When the gas turbines fail or underperform, the auxiliary diesel generators can become overloaded, leading to total power blackouts and loss of propulsion — leaving the ship “dead in the water” with no electricity. This was especially problematic in hot/humid environments (e.g., Gulf waters reaching ~30–32°C or higher), where the cooling system simply couldn’t keep up.
I can imagine:
look!
a drone !!
start the gas turbines !!!

Talk Radio had an article on him earlier; the airwaves were – er – rather heated…
U.S. Vice President JD Vance has accused Eurocrats in Brussels of election interference in the Hungarian election.
Vance said that the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, was the “rare exception” among leaders in Europe, for standing up in defence of Western and Christian civilization. Vance said, “What has happened in this country, what has happened in the midst of this election campaign, is one of the worst examples of foreign and election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about,” “Why are bureaucrats in Brussels telling social media companies what information they’re giving to Hungarian voters? I think the voters of Hungary are adults. They are sovereign in their own country, and they should be able to look at whatever information they would like to about the election without somebody in a faraway capital treating them like children,” “Sovereignty and democracy are fundamentally about the people choosing. And part of the reason why we’re here. And part of the reason why the President of the United States sent me here is because we think the amount of interference that’s come from the bureaucracy in Brussels has been truly disgraceful. I won’t tell the people of Hungary how to vote. I would encourage the bureaucrats in Brussels to do the exact same thing.”
Trump also caught Starmer interfering in the Hungarian election. British Ambassador to Hungary, Justin McKenzie Smith, held a closed-doors meeting with pro-EU, anti-Christian, pro-Islamic immigration 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 against Christianity and Russia: https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2026/04/07/vance-accuses-brussels-eurocrats-of-election-interference-against-hungarys-orban

Hidden in the appendix of the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) March 2026 Economic and Fiscal Outlook are two tables that may prove more politically and economically consequential than many Labour politicians might care to admit. That they passed with so little attention, let alone outcry, is itself revealing; an indictment of how inured Britain has become to the steady expansion of the welfare state.

Gaslighting is a form of persistent psychological manipulation and emotional abuse where a perpetrator makes someone question their own memory, perception, reality, or sanity. It is a coercive control tactic designed to erode a victim’s self-esteem and confidence, creating dependency on the abuser. Common techniques include flat-out denial of events, misdirection, trivializing feelings, and accusing the victim of being “too sensitive” or “crazy”.

Ye (Kanye West) – HH Lyrics
“Man, these people took my kids from me
Then they closed my bank account
I got so much anger in me got no way to take it out
Think that I’m stuck in a matrix
Where the f*ck is my nitrous?
Yes, I am a cuck, I like when people f*ck on my bitch
The shit that I’m posting on Twitter
They telling me “Ye don’t say that”
How niggas can’t see me in public?
I’m driving an all chrome Maybach
With all of the money and fame
I still can’t get my kids back
With all of the money and fame
I still don’t get to see my children
Niggas see my Twitter
But they don’t see how I be feeling
So I became a n*
Yеah bitch I’m the villain
[Chorus]
Nigga heil H*
Nigga heil H*
They don’t understand the things I say on Twitter
Nigga heil H*
They don’t understand the things I say on Twitter
All my niggas n*s
Nigga heil H*
Nigga heil H*
Nigga heil H*
All my niggas n*s
Nigga heil H*
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Nigga heil H*
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Nigga heil H*
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus ]
Nigga heil H*
They don’t understand the things I say on Twitter
Nigga heil H*
They don’t understand the things I say on Twitter
All my niggas n*s
Nigga heil H*
Nigga heil H*
Nigga heil H*
All my niggas n*s”

This is an IDF warning to Iranian civilians to avoid using trains until 9:00 pm, due to safety risks.
It will be interesting to see the MSM reports when railway infrastructure is targeted. I’m sure they will leave out this detail. God help the Iranian people. I hope they manage to avoid the hits. At least they have a chance.

I went to the pub for a late lunch and a really clever bloke told me that although the Labour Govt had taken a firm stand on refusing entry to Kenye West, they have in the last hour granted a visa to a chap known as Ye…..
That’s good, as the saying goes all’s well that ends well..
I have looked at West’s lyrics and recognise rubbish. Let him in, stick a tax on tickets to his show and let the fools pay dearly for their entertainment.
The window tax was a 17th-century British tax on residential windows, used as a proxy for wealth and income tax. Introduced in 1696 under William III, it aimed to tax the wealthy while sparing the poor, but led to widespread “daylight robbery”—the boarding up of windows to avoid payment, causing poor health and dark living conditions. The tax was repealed in 1851 after 150 years.
Ha ha ha!
Reminds me of a fabuous cartoon by the great Bill Tidy…
A bank manager is interviewing a Mother Superior about some money they need for the convent.
Manager, – “I’m afraid that building loans are a bit difficult at the moment, how many nuns were you thinking of walling up”?
Comment “while i am excited on the most historic even after 50 plus years, the younger generations where i am are not bothered at all while their attention is glued on Tiktok, Facebook reels and Youtube shorts..they are missing out in this spectacular event i see as the most historic event at the moment and in my life. They just do not care. I am sad that I was not born when the last man set foot on the moon, and I am happy that this has happened in my lifetime, but alas, almost everyone adults alike just don’t care this is happening, and i am sad. The only thing that will get their attention is when prices of everything will skyrocket because of this wars (Uks, rs, irn, us)they will cry for help after they realize what is happening in the real world .”

Why does the BBC always always try to dismiss claims that Christians are being targeted by Muslims in Nigeria?
Curious that the BBC’s concern is not that many Christians have been killed but a dispute about people being rescued or not….an odd priority…or maybe not if you want to hide what’s going on.
Spot what’s missing….
Locals dispute Nigerian army claim of 31 rescued after Easter attack’
‘Residents of a Nigerian community have disputed the army’s assertion that it rescued 31 civilians held hostage following a Sunday morning church attack in the north.
The army had said that it freed the civilians seized by gunmen who had raided a church in Ariko, Kaduna state, during Easter celebrations. The authorities said five civilians had been killed, but a local church official put the number of dead at seven.
But the president of the Ariko community association, Joseph Ariko, told the BBC that the captives were still unaccounted for, and asked the army to name the rescued. “As far as we are concerned, all the abducted victims are still with the bandits.”
The army has not yet responded.
It had said that soldiers engaged the attackers in a “fierce firefight”, forcing them to flee and leave the hostages and the bodies of the dead victims behind.’
Takes them a while to admit there might be more to this…
‘Attacks and kidnappings for ransom are common occurrences in northern Nigeria, as the country grapples with security threats from jihadist groups and armed gangs, locally known as bandits.’
Maybe jihadists….or bandits/gunmen….the BBC finally, lol, settles for bandits….
‘In a separate incident, Nigeria’s military killed 65 bandits following an offensive in Zamfara state, the AFP news agency reported on Sunday, days after a large group of bandits abducted residents from villages in the state.’
Meanwhile Spiked reports…
‘The shameful silence over Nigeria’s Palm Sunday massacre’
‘On Palm Sunday this year, on Saturday 29 March, Christians in the city of Jos in northern Nigeria’s Plateau State saw AK-wielding jihadists enter their city on motorbike. Dozens were then slaughtered. One local leader told me of the pain of praying with a single mother whose 17-year-old son was murdered. Another woman was pregnant when she was shot dead.
In the days following the attack, some Muslim mobs have roamed the city, looking for Christians to kill. It is unclear why security forces have not stopped them.
In nearby Kaduna state, over a dozen Christians were killed during a wedding celebration, with many others kidnapped for ransom. The next day, near Chibok in northeast Nigeria (the same Chibok where hundreds of mostly Christian schoolgirls were kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014), another dozen Christians were killed by the Islamic State – West Africa Province.
Christian charity Open Doors found nearly 3,500 Christians targeted and murdered for their faith in 2025, and they consider that likely an undercount.
The mainstream media have buried their heads in the sand. If Christians are the victims, it’s a story to be explained away. If Islamist jihadists are the perpetrators, they must have been inspired to act by anything else besides religion.
The facts are plain as day that Christians continue to be targeted for their faith with alarming regularity in northern Nigeria. Mainstream media ignorance is inexcusable.
And no one – let alone the media – should ignore the brutality of the Islamist jihadists responsible.’
Only at the very end of the BBC’s piece do they raise the issue that this is a ‘genocide’ against Christians…but of course the BBC always always tries to deny that.
‘Trump had previously claimed there was a “Christian genocide” under way in Nigeria – an allegation strongly rejected by Nigeria’s government, which said Muslims, Christians and people of no faith were victims of attacks.’

NATO wants strikes against Russia, to stop Christians from invading Europe, but Trump says that the Islamic states that support strikes on Iran are the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait. NATO’s Islamic states that oppose strikes on Iran are France and the United Kingdom.
Our seaworthy ship, HMS Dragon, has had to dock somewhere in the Mediterranean because it has technical problems.
I thought it was already in Cyprus but it seems not yet.
Sounds familiar….
https://thenavylark.fandom.com/wiki/The_Navy_Lark_(Series)
iirc – HMS Dragon has had chronic “cooling systems” issues ….
Sea is 17–18°C there at this time of year….
The ships use an integrated electric propulsion system powered primarily by Rolls-Royce WR-21 gas turbines with a Northrop Grumman intercooler-recuperator for efficiency. The intercooler was designed and optimized for cooler North Atlantic/North Sea conditions. In warmer waters (like the Persian Gulf or Mediterranean in summer), the seawater used for cooling is not cold enough to sufficiently lower the temperature of intake air. This causes the gas turbines to overheat, lose efficiency, shut down, or trigger protective trips.
When the gas turbines fail or underperform, the auxiliary diesel generators can become overloaded, leading to total power blackouts and loss of propulsion — leaving the ship “dead in the water” with no electricity. This was especially problematic in hot/humid environments (e.g., Gulf waters reaching ~30–32°C or higher), where the cooling system simply couldn’t keep up.
I can imagine:
look!
a drone !!
start the gas turbines !!!
– followed by a load of beeping and alarms and then darkness….

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has accused Eurocrats in Brussels of election interference in the Hungarian election.
Vance said that the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, was the “rare exception” among leaders in Europe, for standing up in defence of Western and Christian civilization. Vance said, “What has happened in this country, what has happened in the midst of this election campaign, is one of the worst examples of foreign and election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about,” “Why are bureaucrats in Brussels telling social media companies what information they’re giving to Hungarian voters? I think the voters of Hungary are adults. They are sovereign in their own country, and they should be able to look at whatever information they would like to about the election without somebody in a faraway capital treating them like children,” “Sovereignty and democracy are fundamentally about the people choosing. And part of the reason why we’re here. And part of the reason why the President of the United States sent me here is because we think the amount of interference that’s come from the bureaucracy in Brussels has been truly disgraceful. I won’t tell the people of Hungary how to vote. I would encourage the bureaucrats in Brussels to do the exact same thing.”
Trump also caught Starmer interfering in the Hungarian election. British Ambassador to Hungary, Justin McKenzie Smith, held a closed-doors meeting with pro-EU, anti-Christian, pro-Islamic immigration 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 against Christianity and Russia: https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2026/04/07/vance-accuses-brussels-eurocrats-of-election-interference-against-hungarys-orban

Britain’s welfare bill exceeds income tax revenue. Labour’s answer? More cash. As we enter a new financial year, millions of people remain ensnared in a vicious cycle of dependency
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/04/labour-welfare-bill-income-tax-revenue/
Hidden in the appendix of the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) March 2026 Economic and Fiscal Outlook are two tables that may prove more politically and economically consequential than many Labour politicians might care to admit. That they passed with so little attention, let alone outcry, is itself revealing; an indictment of how inured Britain has become to the steady expansion of the welfare state.
The pretending is now insufferable – nobody paid much attention when Labour weren’t in Downing Street – now it’s real…. what a shitshow.
Gaslighting is a form of persistent psychological manipulation and emotional abuse where a perpetrator makes someone question their own memory, perception, reality, or sanity. It is a coercive control tactic designed to erode a victim’s self-esteem and confidence, creating dependency on the abuser. Common techniques include flat-out denial of events, misdirection, trivializing feelings, and accusing the victim of being “too sensitive” or “crazy”.
