      The UK’s “Nudge Unit,” officially known as The Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), is a pioneering organisation created in 2010 by the government to apply behavioural science to public policy. It aims to influence behavior towards better outcomes using low-cost “nudges,” such as personalized text messages to increase fine payments or tax compliance.

      “So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama’s campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left.

      And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing.

      All organically, I’m sure.

      I’m a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you’ll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I’m talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne.

      This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports.

      But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity.

      Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm.

      The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue.

      OF COURSE he won’t even name who’s doing the killing.

      But he’ll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president.

      The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.”

    I noticed that the Southport Inquiry Judge in his phase 1 broadcast report didn’t once mention race as an issue (to the best of my recall). My view is that race was the key issue. The parents were correctly directly blamed for concealing and failing to report issues As is now clear, the various agencies and authorities involved were wary of being labelled racist, it’s woke Britain of course. Our public services are rife with leftist and woke activism. The Unions are complicit as well.
    The parents are Rwandan and would have been racially and culturally isolated, they would have, in effect, built a virtual wall around the family. The son would have absorbed and experienced all of the issues. We are potentially importing many more of these problems.

    Nice to see you, to see you nice. What a gay day

    When you want to get a catchphrase to… catch on… you need to keep repeating it until your audience becomes accustomed to it.

    So, once again today the junior poundshop (plus 10% inflation pre-oil price hike) Guardian that is the left-leaning i paper prompts readers with their: Impact of ‘Trumpflation’ starting to become clear for UK

    And our BBC promotes the lower reading age cadet version of the Gruan that is the i paper to their number one spot in their online print press review.

    The OG Guardian, so beloved of the staff there at the Beeb, takes second spot.

    One has to admire the brass-necked chutzpah of our First Female chancellor who came into Number 11 with no clear idea of what she was trying to achieve, economically

    Quoted in this morning’s Guardian: ‘I feel frustrated and angry that the US went into this war without a clear idea of what they were trying to achieve’

    Tehran’s ministry of propaganda promps the Gruan with a front cover full-colour feature photo: An exhibition in Tajrish Square, Tehran, shows some of the victims of the attack on Shajareh Tayybeh school in Minab, southern Iran, at the start of the US-Israeli bombing campaign in February (photocredit: Fatemeh Bahram/Getty)

    ‘Farsi Banksy’ ? Not that our own supposedly edgy ‘anonymous’ public school boy street artist isn’t totally regime-compliant with his brand of left-liberal themed graffiti which so excites our Guardian reading classes.

    Dear BBC,

    Once again I must inform you that nobody in BRITAIN gives a shit so stop wasting all that free money to pay people to write such pointless, lengthy reports.

    Perhaps you could use the staff to actually do some journalism on stories like this instead of simply producing very basic and very brief reports on matters which are very significant for out OWN country.

    Man in court over fatal Primrose Hill brawl
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20ddn6gjylo

    They could also actually do some research and show the murdering scum the story is all about instead of just focusing on empathy for victims.

    Though I suspect the brevity of these reports has nothing to do with staffing levels. It is because the main suspect for the story looks like this:
    107853993-15731827-Oluwadamilola_Ogunyankinnu_is_today_pictured_for_the_first_time-a-18_1776162616201.jpg
    Another one with a great old traditional British name: Oliuwadamilola Ogunyankinnu
    A picture freely available but the BBC have not shown it.

    And the second man arrested is called Khalid Abdulqadir. No photo of him either.

    Just the racist BBC doing what they always do : trying to cover up the bad things BAME immigrants do because it proves the Left’s great multicultural society is never going to happen. They’ve been trying for over 50 years and the divide is even worse now than it was when they started.

        There’s a new French version of the great Dunkirk film, starring Chalky Macron, Pinko Rodney, Bacon Millibrain and a host of lefties masquerading as ‘statesmen’.

        The flick will be called ‘Dover’, where Chalky sends hundreds of boats over La Manche to safety – or get rid of his problems with the thousands of enrichers fleeing his war-torn country. Pinko, a left-wing Temporary Lance Corporal, leads the charge of getting as many rubber boats across in the shortest time possible, with Bacon egging him to use rowing boats to conserve fuel!

        The whole story unfolds with further interference from Raquel, who realises that Dover is the only way to secure foreign votes at the next general election.

        In the ending credits, unrecognisable names of ‘extras’, with more foreign namees than you can shake a knife at, are aided by names of sundry French Gendarmes, who are powerless to do anything with all their white flags accumulating on the sands of Calais.

        The film will be premiered in a series of cinemas in Bradford, with free tickets for Bacon, Chalky and Pinko.

      I find the tone of the BBC articles portraying his actions as those of a great leader and statesman to be utterly repugnant.

      It proves again how they don’t give a shit about anything except stopping the Right getting into power. They are absolutely shameless about it and it’s just as embarrassing for our country as the actions of the pound-shop dictator himself.

    Today
    I suffered the comrade Robinson 0810 to listen to the queer smarmy treasury minister mouthing for Rachel from accounts .

    The TTK regime is blaming President Trump for not ‘consulting ‘ the likes of the UK about Iran . – instead of using the North Sea to get oil and gas and more money from those taxes

    Instead the cretin mouthed off about renewables – which are decades away ( nuclear ) with that fanatical green crap hurting every one right now ….

    The Marxist mini minister has no idea about the Real World or care about it – or us – and is determined to drag us into the abyss ….
    The Marxists borrowed more money yesterday – they had to pay a massive 4.9% interest on 10 year bonds – money to be wasted on welfare to buy votes …. Down down down we go …

    Robinson gave his Marxist mate an easy time – the Marxists won ..

    I hate listening to it – but do it out of duty to witness the rapid sad decline – out of duty …

      … I somehow think her anguish will be of no interest to the msm – she won’t be lauded or given a seat in the House of Lords or rolled out like a trophy at a Labour conference – no lord Macpherson treatment for her ….

      Instead every one responsible will cover their ass – and be helped to do so by the TTK regime – all lawyered up at public expense .

        We are at the stage now that anyone who goes against the Leftist fascists ends up on their hate-list and they gnaw away at them until that person is ruined. Nobody (except Trump) dare go against the narrative now because of what the media will write.

        I’m still stunned by how completely and utterly destroyed Andrew Battenburg – despite him pleading not guilty and there being no actual evidence at all that he did what they claim he did.

        I’m sure he shagged her of course – but after reading her book, I think she was more than willing at the time. Her typical ‘story’ is that somehow she ended up alone in a motel or back of a car with one or more men, had sex with them then later claimed they raped her. It became clear early on that she had some serious mental issues. Yet the Left didn’t care about that at all : they got the scent of a middle-aged, arrogant, privileged white-man’s blood and went into a frenzy. And from that point on, nobody dare argue with them for fear they got crucified too.

        It’s fascism in it’s purest form.

    A UN judge says the UK is likely to owe more than £18tn in reparations for its historical role in slavery.

    A report co-authored by the judge, Patrick Robinson, says the UK should pay $24tn (£18.8tn) for its slavery involvement in 14 countries.

    But Mr Robinson said the sum was an “underestimation” of the damage caused by the slave trade.

    He said he was amazed some countries responsible for slavery think they can “bury their heads in the sand”.

    Through a combination of my paranoia and the wonderful VPN system, I receive the BBC world as my main page, and then if I’m interested I can click on the “UK” tab to see what’s afoot hereabouts.
    The bbc has decided that the main story, on both the world and uk pages, is that the invading hordes are now claiming homosexual tendencies as a source of persecution at home, and so we should offer them shelter.
    That’s nice; I wonder how much of a nerve it would take to use this persecution as a reason to rape white slags to prove to the local imam that they aren’t limpwristed after all, and as a defence to the uk court that the raping was only carried out to bring about an acceptance by their own community?

      “On 2 December 2015, at the Theresienbad swimming pool in the Austrian capital Vienna, a 10-year-old boy was raped. The perpetrator, a 20-year-old Iraqi refugee who had arrived in the country two months earlier, claimed that he was motivated by not having sex for four months.”

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_swimming_pool_rape

      The perpetrator further stated that he “followed his desires” because he had “a marked surplus of sexual energy” and knew that his act would be illegal in any country of the world.[2] His defence lawyers mentioned his youth, living conditions and no criminal record in either Austria or Iraq in mitigation

      In court, it was heard that the victim had been profoundly disturbed by the crime, and was considering suicide. His family was awarded €4,700 in compensation.[3] The man was sentenced to six years in prison in June 2016, with a maximum 15 years, and possible deportation at the end.[3]

    Alexis Bidace, 25, of Fore Street, Edmonton, and Ernest Boateng, 25, of Keswick Drive, Enfield, were arrested and are due to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates Court later today.

      Rachel Reeves: ‘Securonomics’
      May 24, 2023
      https://labour.org.uk/updates/press-releases/rachel-reeves-securonomics/

      But a progressive politics built for an era of strong productivity growth and increasingly frictionless global trade did not have the answers to the world after 2008.

      The last Labour government understood that, which is why, after the financial crisis, it worked to develop a more active state, reviving industrial strategy in Britain.

      reviving industrial strategy in Britain = close steel works
      reviving industrial strategy in Britain = buy from China
      reviving industrial strategy in Britain = close power stations
      reviving industrial strategy in Britain = ignore gas fields
      reviving industrial strategy in Britain = welfare exceeds gov income from taxess

      Securonomics

      At its heart is what Treasury Secretary Yellen has called “modern supply side” economics.

      The Biden Administration is rebuilding America’s economic security, strength and resilience.

    Gotta love these entitled public broadcasters.

    The Irish RTE was bailed out by the government to the tune of €725m recently….a valued propaganda outlet for the lefty woke government that they need to keep propped up.

    However….the Irish People? Not so much….the Irish government providing a mere €750m to help them out in the fuel/cost of living crisis…and RTE has the cheek to express its indignation…just where does the money come from for this largesse it asks.

    ‘But where did the roughly €750m of tax cuts which the Government has introduced come from?…..the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council has warned the Coalition about the dangers of Government’s spending rising faster than other EU states.

    The two announcements of measures to help consumers and businesses with rising energy prices are not risk-free for the Government.’

    Don’t remember RTE being so concerned about where its massive handout came from and the effect it might have on the budget.

    Naturally they are also climate change promoters…

    ‘The big surprise was the decision by the Coalition to postpone the planned increase in Carbon Tax from next month until October.’

    Public broadcasters…..public menace or public good?

    MM
    We are down for £18trillion in reparations are we.
    I don’t think we had any slaves working in our wheat fields or apple orchards.
    We did do some transporting between the African slave sellers and the New World plantation buyers which went on for a while.

    We stopped the transatlantic slave trade at some huge cost to the British which has just been paid off. Many British sailors lives were also lost whilst doing it.
    You could say the British were the best thing that happened to slavery which has been going on forever.
    More Europeans were taken as slaves by North African traders than the total number taken over the Atlantic so that should mean more in reparations coming to us than what we are being asked to pay out.

    If you compare our part during the slave trade years compared to the longer part of actual slavery in the USA then how many thousands of trillions will they be wanting the USA to pay. We had them a few weeks at sea, the USA had them (and their offspring) working in the fields for life.

    Following that, how much more must the Arabs pay as they’ve been in the thick of the slave trade for thousands of years. Nobody seems to care about them but Arabs are the very best people ever to have walked the Earth (or at least that’s the story we are constantly fed)

    I suppose we are being targeted because we are now universally seen as a right old soft touch full of wet wipes and run by a bunch of barmy woke far left virtue signallers.

    That shower of shit we’ve had running the UK and the ‘elite’ hangers on are killing the UK.

      By the 1900s, while the transatlantic slave trade had ceased and slavery was being abolished throughout the Americas, millions of people were still enslaved in other forms of bondage, particularly within Africa and Asia.
