      Oh dear, ran out of time to edit my place holder :-).
      Here’s my real comment:

      A nation built on pan-African principles faces questions about racism
      https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq5700w7zx7o

      Here is another article where the brief was to call white people racist. They do this regularly at the BBC because the Left need to keep the division in our society. They need a target to vent their self-loathing and spiteful inner-selves at whilst convincing themselves of their moral superiority. So they churn out virtue-signaling hypocrisy like this. It’s a complete non-story bloated out to call whitey racist.

      They have clearly assigned a clone to go out in Zambia and find someone to accuse white people of being racist. Just look at this:

      ‘Zambia likes to pride itself as being at the forefront of African nationalism and the fight against colonial rule, however several Zambians have told the BBC that racism remains a problem in the country more than 60 years after independence from the UK.’
      What fight against colonial rule BBC ?. They are independent. And is that it ? – ‘several Zambians’ ???.

      Lets see the extent of this horrific racism problem they have to live with:
      ‘He recounts visiting a wine bar with his friends in the capital, Lusaka, where they attempted to order relatively expensive bottles of wine. However, the waiters at the bar explained that they were out of stock, he recalls.
      “And then came a white family who they were being very friendly with. And then they kept on offering them [the bottles that were supposedly out of stock],” Bwalya says.’
      What ?. Is that it ?. Did he provide any evidence of that BBC ?.

      ‘”When we complained to the manager, we were told: ‘If you don’t appreciate the service, you’re more than welcome to leave.'”
      A heated argument ensued and during the altercation, the white manager allegedly directed a racial slur towards Bwalya’s black friend.’
      They started a ‘heated argument’ because of the wine ?. Sounds like they are the racists looking for a fight to me.

      They use the word ‘white’ in this article 21 times !. And it’s jam-packed with small anti-white, totally unsubstantiated accusations to make the reader think white people walk around like they are superior.

      The truth of the matter is here in absolutely typical BBC weasel words:
      ‘ there are no specific figures for the numbers of white people in the country today but ethnic minorities, also including Indians, Chinese and Arabs, make up roughly 9% of the population.’

      So we are told it used to be 2% 60 years ago then get very vague numbers implying it might be even more now.

      AI tells me the population is just 0.3% white. So there are plenty of ‘ Indians, Chinese and Arabs’ in there. And my experience of the world tells me they can be the most racist of anyone.

      But of course they don’t fit the BBC narrative. So they are not mentioned. We are left to assume only whitey is racist.

      BBC : still fighting racism with more racism.

      And once again it’s obvious this BBC clone just typed the report up. The direction and careful wording was most definitely from the anonymous-yet-extremely-powerful agenda compliance team.

        Isn’t it a pity that in the UK, we just don’t have an organisation with a broadcasting code that will take these clearly biased reports apart, and fine or banish the organisations with such nasty agendas.

        We have ofcom of course, but I mean a properly run business-orientated entity, which has the teeth to banish left-wing propaganda, racial slurs against white people etc.

        I can’t think that any sound, normal British Citizen is even slightly interested in this twaddle; they could chuck it at the bloated ‘world service’ I suppose, after all, there are still some mugs around who actually pay for this sort of dross.

          When I worked for BAE, I remember being on a course about writing system specifications where the instructor asked us to bring in one of our documents for him to review.

          And he absolutely pulled it to pieces. He went through it and pointed out all the ambiguities where it inferred something but never actually said it. Or where it something was written badly so it could be interpreted in different ways.

          I remember that course very often when I read BBC articles. But in their case, the misleading parts and ambiguities are not accidental. I can tell they are very carefully worded to give a certain impression but the lawyers can argue they never actually said it. Some of the agenda articles are works of art – which is why I am so certain the clueless-looking clones did not produce the wording themselves. And the style is consistent across ALL the articles which prove that there is one central team deciding everything we get told.

          They have a multibillion pound global news organisation at their disposal, are funded by the public and yet we have no clue or say who they are.

    In what was probably the most predictable outcome as a result of our sorry excuse of a prime minister pissing off Trump there now comes the push-back.

    The Donald has hinted that he is reviewing the support given to the UK over the Falkland Islands. Then right on que Argentina sparks up and wants the islands back.

    All of that British blood shed and just thrown away because of one weak wet wan*er of a prime minister.

    Mythical shapes and the impact of oil: The nominees for the art world’s most prestigious prize (Steven McIntosh, Entertainment reporter, BBC)

    By the way, 80s new wave and synth-pop band China Crisis titled their first album Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms, Some People Think It’s Fun to Entertain – there’s one for the teenagers, but I digress.

    A spoken-word performance about life in the industrial north and sculptures which examine the political history of oil are among the shortlisted artworks for this year’s Turner Prize. (BBC)

    If you enjoy the art of painting… look away now.

    Ah, the Turner Prize. Is it art, we ask, and who is it supposed to entertain?

    I’m afraid modern art jumped the shark some time ago – then pickled that shark in formaldehyde.

    Some would say it’s all bullshit these days – and it certainly has had the whiff of elephant dung about it.

    Sometimes these segueways will tend to write themselves…

    Muck Rack the vaguely scatologically named journalism aggregator designed for the PR industry, pegs our Steven McIntosh, Entertainment reporter, BBC, as somewhat of an in-house staff announcements hack: Ex-Channel 5 newsreader withdraws claims against Dan Walker by Steven McIntosh; Sara Cox replaces Scott Mills on Radio 2 breakfast show by Steven McIntosh

    And then there’s his Entertainment beat: Michael Jackson film is a ‘whitewash’ and ‘ghoulish’, critics say by Steven McIntosh; Dwayne Johnson wrestling film to be made into stage musical by Steven McIntosh

    To be fair, guy’s gotta make a living – but something tells me Brian Sewell, he ain’t.

    Anyway, over there at the BBC he drew the short straw (pun intended) and uncritically reviews the latest Turner Prize contenders.

    The prize is named after painter JMW Turner and awarded annually to a British artist for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work… The Ruin by Simeon Barclay What is the work? Barclay’s hour-long spoken word performance draws on his upbringing in Huddersfield and his experience of the industrial landscape of northern England, against a soundtrack of live percussion and horn. What did the jury say? The jury praised Barclay’s debut performance for its “exploration of Britishness, class, race and masculine identity, through an evocative, experimental use of language and a psychologically immersive soundscape” (BBC) – you guessed it, he’s black.

    I’m attempting to imagine JMW Turner turning up at the Royal Academy of Arts and announcing how instead of drawing or painting or even sculpting a work, he was going to make an hour-long spoken word performance about Britishness, class, race and masculine identity, and by the way he’d brough a Trinidadian steel band along with him for accompaniment.

    Unspeak the Chorus by Kira Freije – peculiar names are of course de rigueur – the more un-British sounding the better they may represent British art – What is the work? Freije uses metal, fabric and found materials to create sculptures that explore universal human emotions, such as stonecast faces and life-size figures constructed from bare metal armatures… Chances of winning? Freije’s anonymous and androgynous figures are open to viewers’ interpretation, but most would consider them striking and memorable regardless of their meaning (BBC)

    Morale Patch by Tanoa Sasraku… What is the work? Sasraku’s installation explores geopolitical ideas through object-like sculptures, with a focus on recent political and military histories of oil. (BBC) – and as our Jennifer Aniston used to say: “Here comes the science politics bit, concentrate”

    By the way: Lisa Kudrow at 62 I still get get £15 million pounds a year from Friends (Times)

    So no one told you life was going to be this way.
    Your job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s DOA.
    It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear,
    When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

    (The Rembrandts) – although I like to joke about the segueways, this stuff doesn’t really write itself, you know.

    What did the jury say? They praised the precision and sophistication of the installation, saying it “addresses complex historical issues with strong contemporary resonance, and its use of a clinical, minimalist display that conveys both irony and seriousness”. Chances of winning? In the time of the Iran war and headlines about oil prices, Sasraku’s work is perhaps the most topical on this year’s shortlist. There’s a strong chance judges could be impressed by the relevance of the installation, and the clinical and corporate way it’s presented. (BBC)

    I’d like to present my own personal nomination for an un-sung contemporary conceptual British artist I suggest would make an ideal inclusion alonside the current contenders for the Turner Prize.

    With reference to the recent news story: Herne Bay woman covered in black paint …bride was covered in black paint moments before she walked down the aisle in a revenge attack carried out by her brother’s wife. (Kent online) – as previously promoted to front page national news by the Daily Mirror (it was a bad day for Starmer) and today the subject of an “exclusive” in the Daily Mail: Why I hurled black paint over my sister-in-law ‘s wedding dress

    Antonia Eastwood, 49. What is the work? Eastwood’s installation explores geopolitical ideas through a living sculpture, via the medium of black paint focusing on recent political and military histories of crude oil.

    What did the jury say? The jury found her guilty, obviously. I’m employing a touch of artistic licence there – the case was tried at Maidstone Magistrates Court, so no Jury – David Lammy would approve.

    Turner Prize jury will no doubt praise Easwood’s debut performance for its “exploration of Britishness, class, race and feminine identity, through an evocative, experimental use of abusive language and a psychologically immersive soundscape, evoking issues of parallelisms equating to ethnic honour attacks on females”

    Chances of winning? In the time of the Iran war and headlines about oil prices, Eastwood’s work is perhaps the most topical on this year’s shortlist. There’s a strong chance judges could be impressed by the relevance of the installation, and the raw and gritty way it’s presented.

    Jury chair Alex Farquharson said the shortlisted works offered “a compelling reflection of the breadth and vitality of contemporary British art”. The four shortlisted artists are awarded £10,000 each, while the eventual winner will receive £25,000. (BBC)

    But sadly, my nominee for the prize…

    In court, Eastwood was handed a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months. She was also ordered to perform 160 hours of community service. (Fox News quoting from the Kent online report)

      I had a similar experience at Tate Modern a few years back…

      I was visiting with my brother, who was rather keen on some of this modern stuff. As we wandered through, he in rapture, me in bemused confusion, I saw a stack of folding chairs leaning against a wall.”Is that an exhibit?” I asked honestly, “Or just a stack of chairs?”

      My brother’s answer said it all. “Does it have a label?”
      It didn’t…it wasn’t a “work of art”. it was just a stack of chairs.

      Now, I know I’m an aged old philistine, but

        Sorry to Usurp Mark.

        Man eats £4.9 artwork

        A cryptocurrency entrepreneur has kept his promise and eaten a banana he bought for $6.2m (£4.9m).

        Justin Sun snapped up viral art piece Comedian – consisting of a single banana duct-taped to a white wall – in an auction at Sotheby’s in New York last week.

        The Chinese-born businessman immediately revealed his plan to destroy the artwork by enjoying the fruit as a snack and at a news conference today, he delivered on his word.

        At a Hong Kong hotel, the 34-year-old took a bite and told reporters: “It’s much better than other bananas. It’s really quite good.”

        After purchasing Comedian, Mr Sun previously said the piece “represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, and the cryptocurrency community”.

          Variations on a theme

          Janitors Mistakenly Throw Out Champagne Bottle Art Installation… The discotheque was too real… A team of hardworking Italian cleaners thought they were tidying up after a particularly wild opening party on Friday night at Museion, Museum for Modern and Contemporary Art in Bolanzo, Italy. The 300 empty champagne bottles, confetti, and cigarette butts, however, were actually part of an installation by Milanese artists Goldschmied & Chiari. (Artnet, 2015)

          Overzealous cleaner ruins £690,000 artwork that she thought was dirty. She scoured off a layer of paint in a sculpture by late German artist Martin Kippenberger on loan to a museum in Dortmund. The sculpture by the German artist… widely regarded as one of the most talented artists of his generation until his death in 1997, had been on loan to the Ostwall Museum in Dortmund when it fell prey to the cleaner’s scouring pad. (Guardian, 2011)

          Museum volunteer ruins artwork by ‘cleaning’ it with toilet paper… he mistook a work of art for a mirror. The Keelung Museum of Art in Taiwan this week showcased a contemporary art exhibition, which featured a dust-covered mirror on a plain wooden board. (Metro, 2025)

          8 Times Trashy Postmodern Art Got Thrown into the Garbage… Lots of people call the bizarre and off-putting art displayed in contemporary galleries and museums “Modern Art.”… We are living through the death throes of the Postmodern era, a much more troubling time… Postmodernism is the camouflage outfit for Cultural Marxism, a 100 year project to destroy Western Civilization. The New Aristocracy of the Well Connected intended to launch a new Dark Age, where elitists wielded unaccountable power over a vast dispirited serfdom. They use mass media psychological manipulation to undermine us all. Their strategy was to manipulate language, and corrupt our institutions, in order to make us all submit… So what do Postmodern scenesters advance as art? They thrive on “appropriation.” This means artists don’t actually make what they claim is their artwork; it’s made by hired skilled craftsmen, or already existing objects are merely collected and displayed. Often, these found objects are literally trash. Here are eight times when cleaning crews showed more wisdom than the arts establishment, and put Postmodern garbage exactly where it belonged. (Re Remodern Review, 2019)

    Falklands veteran hopes King can persuade Trump to ‘back down’
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62lp853214o

    Absolutely classic BBC playing dirty to circumvent their rules.

    Get some stooge onto one of their politically lopsided programs and ask them leading questions to get the language they want to say themselves.

    Then make a front page article about it and plaster the ‘quotes from someone else’ all over it.

    ‘Weston told BBC Newsnight that Trump’s “hissy fit” over the sovereignty of the islands “makes our sacrifice feel slightly irrelevant”.’

    ‘”He’s [Trump] paying absolutely no heed to the humanity that he’s abusing with his words because the people of the Falklands deserve more respect, but so do every veteran who served down there deserve more respect.”

    He called the US president’s comments “very unstatesmanlike” and said he was “sad and disappointed it’s come to this”.

    And just to suck you in a bit more, we get an empathy pull:
    ‘He suffered almost 50% burns to his body during the bombing of the Sir Galahad ship, which caused the biggest loss of British life during the war.’

    Now what happened to Simon was terrible and he’s suffered a lot in his life. But since when did that make him an expert on international affairs ?.

    And of course no mention anywhere of what has caused Trump to do this. Namely to top-drawer w*nker in No.10.

    Nice bias by omission

    The BBC is completely failing to report the work of a barrister called Hermer – and his mate – Starmer – making a corrupt living out of the concocted prosecution of British soldiers.

    It shows two things – one – how corrupt the agenda of the BBC is – and two – how much it really cares about the military …

    This case would be bad – but bearing in mind one barrister is PM and the other is attorney general – even more so …

    A third lawyer in this conspiracy – one Phillip shiner is still ‘serving ‘ his 2 year suspended sentence for fraud .

    Shiner was a regular mouthpiece for this fraud on bbc programmes ….

      Fedup, I have been following since the DT first reported the investigation in January. The bBC has never reported the matter. The original DT report was released when Starmer was visiting China as part of his ‘relaunch’. The bBC knew that the DT report would torpedo the relaunch of Starmer, and Downing St would not have had to work hard on the bBC for them to stay schtum. As we see week in week out, the marxist cabal have their own agenda and that is why it has to be defunded.

    Interesting thread about why gang-rape victims halt prosecutions
    .. https://x.com/JeanHatchet/status/2047682476726722715

    The basic principle is that you can’t fix sex attacks that have happened ,
    but that you can PREVENT future attacks
    so attacks should be reported.
    Policing is about prevention so the police should be taking action
    even if they are not going to get a prosecution.

    Accused men are either guilty
    or innocents who are wrongly accused ..and those type of men don’t mind some infringement if it generally makes women safer

    Does anyone have an update on the mysterious Epsom rape case?

    According to the BBC (and therefore dubious): ‘the police now believe the woman concerned “sustained an accidental head injury” following a night out and made “a confused report”.’

    Because, as we know, it’s easy to mistake a bump on the head with gang rape.

    I imagine the poor woman strapped to a chair at the police station for hours on end, a bright light in her face, being asked for the umpteenth time: “Miss, are you sure it wasn’t just a bump on your head? Just sign this paper and we can all go home.”

    AlterAI: Why does Farage support Starmer’s attempt to ban ‘X’ in Britain

    AlterAI says: Farage says ‘X’ is dangerous. But many Reform UK members on ‘X’ say that they are demoralised by this statement. Reasons given include:

    (1) Farage threatens to sack Reform UK candidates if they support the ‘Unite The Kingdom’ march.
    (2) Farage replaces local candidates with anti-Semitic migrant candidates from outside the area.
    (3) Farage sacks local Reform candidates, if the establishment MP defects to Reform, to save their career.
    (4) Farage repeats the BBC’s lies about Tommy Robinson.
    (5) I meet Farage. He was a bit miserable until he met my local Labour MP. Very strange.
    (6) Farage and his migrant friends have turned on Trump because he attacked the Islamic Republic of Iran.
    (7) The Farage obsession with, and support for political correctness.
    (8) Farage only talks to supporters if they give him £10,000.
    (9) Farage falls out with everyone who tells him the truth.
    (10) I wish Farage would stop being a sycophant with the corrupt criminal establishment.

    A lot of the unanswered questions are being answered by British, French and American journalists on substack looking at the Epstein files, and questioning victims. AlterAI collects the information. Even the BBC are investigating, but not mentioning the Rothschild connection. The Rothschilds are losing grip of America and France, but are just about holding on to Britain with the help of Starmer, and the granddaughter of a Ukrainian Nazi.

    The U.S. Department of Justice says that the British Embassy in Washington ran a Jeffrey Epstein File. The contents of the British File are now being revealed. MI6 told the Metropolitan Police not to investigate sex trafficking, especially when involving Ukraine.

    Six women who say Jeffrey Epstein abused them lived in four flats in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The rent was paid from Epstein’s personal accounts, including one at Coutts. One woman was moved in sixteen days before his arrest. Some of the women housed in the London flats were coerced by Epstein to recruit others into his sex trafficking scheme, as well as being regularly transported to Paris by Eurostar to visit him. Three women have come forward to French authorities with complaints. In March 2026, the French financial prosecutors announced that the Edmond de Rothschild Group was among several locations which were searched in connection to the Epstein investigation.

    Ariane de Rothschild, as CEO of the Edmond de Rothschild Group, is the operational principal of the Edmond branch. The Epstein correspondence shows her holding independent Israeli government relationships, negotiating directly with Epstein on a roster that included Ehud Barak and Jes Staley, forwarding an internal bank deal flow to Epstein’s Gmail, controlling her own employees access to the Bill Gates network through Epstein, exercising delegated authority over the DOJ settlement, and receiving Epstein’s analysis of the David branch’s term sheet for the family name dispute. She ran the bank, and Epstein was her agent. When Epstein was denied his fee on the Gates-JPMorgan impact investing vehicle he had helped design, the correspondence shows his shift to draft emails containing allegations about Gates’s personal conduct, a fabricated resignation letter written in the voice of Boris Nikolic. Rothschild then turned on the Epstein network, then denied its cut. On 29 July 2019, Epsteins lawyers met with the FBI and Southern District of New York prosecutors and raised the possibility of cooperation. Twelve days later, Jeffrey Edward Epstein was eliminated on August 10, 2019.

    The Rothschilds then transferred the Epstein network to Paris and London, and the pandemic treaty negotiations continued through closed-door retreats at Mont-Pèlerin. The Rothschild (Epstein) contact book is now under investigation in Paris. On February 6, 2026, the Paris prosecutor’s office opened two investigations into Epstein’s activities in France, focused on human trafficking and money laundering. Three women have come forward to French authorities with complaints against people in the Rothschild (Epstein) circle.

    I was watching a New Culture Forum podcast re the possible end of the Labour Party as per the Liberals in the 1920’s .
    One topic of particular interest was the alleged hidden changes within the Tory party. It was said that the Globalist’s control of the party was being steadily dismantled by Badenoch.
    I’m sure that you are all as sceptical as I am, is it just wishful thinking? But if this is true then it does make an alliance between the parties of the right a real possibility, without which I fear that a rag tag coalition of the looney left will win the next GE and further ruin the country.
    But the key questions are :
    A. how real is the clear out of the Tory globalists and how can we judge its effectiveness
    B what mechanism is available to Badenoch, assuming she really is trying to move the party to the right, to clear the Globalists out
    C when will we begin to see its impact and will it be sufficiently advanced to enable Reform and Restore to sign up for a coalition before the next election.
    D are the Tories really prepared to be junior partners in any coalition with only a few cabinet seats

    Apparently his preaching provoked someone to falsely report him for violence .hence the over the top response from police.

    As ever I think some types of protest or preaching crosses the line if it obstructs people from going about their normal business.

    It looks a lot like one of those ladies days on the front pages of the print press this Sunday.

    Telegraph, Times, Sun and Express all pay obeisance to Princess Kate’s wardrobe choices with a cover page feature photo: The poppy Princess (Sunday Telegraph); Kate’s true blue Royal (Sun on Sunday)

    Because she’s the only one we can’t criticise – excepting of course the children.

    They say Queen Elizabeth hardly put a foot wrong in all her seventy years on the throne – our press now even approve Kate’s choice of facial expressions: The Princess of Wales takes moment to reflect after laying a wreath at the Cenotaph to mark Anzac Day… Kate remembers the fallen (Times); and then, despite her poingnant tribute (Express) – she’s smiling like a Cheshire Cat in the Express, Telegraph and Sun front page feature photos.

    Some say our good Lord ordained a day of rest on Sunday – not so the godless Guardian’s seventh day iteration the Observer – they say a woman’s work is never done – and that there’s no rest for the wicked – our EU Remainers certainly never take a day off: Rejoin – shouts the cover of the Observer – I didn’t realise this was a front cover worthy topical news story of the day – but I’ll let the accompanying blurb from our BBC’s print press line-up explain:

    The yellow and blue flag of the European Union is splashed across the Observer in a stylised graphic, paired with the headline “Rejoin: A decade on, the taboo is broken”. The front page highlights two stories that suggest Sir Keir is being “pressed to reverse Brexit”, with former Labour party leader Neil Kinnock predicting the UK will join the EU once more. (BBC) – ah, Banksy, our regime-compliant rebel street artist.

    And in a week when we note Turner Prize finalist judges have completely ditched painters for found object conceptual “mythical shapes”, installations exploring geopolitical ideas through object-like sculptures, looped cycles of light and sound, “engagement with ecological and existential themes through inventive forms, speculative scenarios and dynamic shifts in scale”, plus a black guy doing an hour-long spoken word performance… “exploration of Britishness, class, race and masculine identity, through an evocative, experimental use of language… against a soundtrack of live percussion and horn” – go out on any high street corner in London these days and you’ll likely get that self-same experience going for you.

    So it’s a sort of relief to note the Observer references street artist Banksy with their conceptual cover art piece. At least he used some paint – albeit from a spray can.

    Banksy created a major, widely interpreted anti-Brexit mural in 2017 in Dover, featuring a workman chipping away one of the gold stars from the European Union flag. The mural, often considered a pro-EU, anti-Brexit statement, was interpreted as a comment on the removal of unity and harmony within Europe (Guardian, May 2017) – ah, Banksy, our regime-compliant rebel street artist.

    But we said it was a ladies day… There Is Nothin’ Like a Dame (Rodgers & Hammerstein)

    The Obs reveals its ageing Boomerish preocupation with its choice of pin-ups: Inside your new O magazine today Featuring the greatest dames… Sheila Hancock, Helen Mirren, Kristin Scott Thomas, Emma Thompson, Harriet Walter

    While we’re on the subject: Anne Hathaway There’s no one like Meryl Streep …she’s amazing (Sunday Mirror)

    The formerly serious Sunday Times wants to tell us: The women of Rivals return

    For balance, one always likes to include a little something for the gays – from the Mail on Sunday (which has never been claimed to be a serious paper): Exclusive poll… Make Zoe and Rylan the next Strictly hosts, say viewers

    But at the risk of exciting the ire of Stew Green hereabouts, for too close an observation of the popular culture, let’s top this one off with some politics.

    Our BBC pay tribute to one of the world’s most famous prostitutes (pre Bonny Blue): Giuffre family hold anniversary vigil ahead of King’s US visit (Sean Coughlan, Royal correspondent, Reporting from Washington DC, BBC)

    In case you were wondering: Yes, the Green Party (UK) supports the full decriminalisation of sex work, treating it as a matter of safety and labor rights rather than criminal law. Their policy aims to legalize the operation of brothels, allow sex workers to work together, and protect them from exploitation without the threat of criminal justice – Thank you A.I.

    This looks a lot like a joint effort with the unashamedly in-the-tank for Labour Mirror: Campaigners urge King to… – get Mandelson off the front pages..? I jest of course: Order Andrew to give evidence… Pressure mounts over Epstein scandal ahead of royals’ US visit – Our Sunday Mirror only affords the Royals a lower case “r” whereas it appears to grant Charles the executive right to gives orders one would associate more with Louis XIV than with our own constitutionally restrained monarchy.

    And finally, in pre-local election news – Labour sets its own goal posts: Minister: Loss of 1,500 seats will trigger crisis (Sunday Times)

    ‘Lord Hermer is not fit to clean the boots of the veterans he persecuted’

    Funny thing how the very controversial Attorney General, Lord Hermer, manages to stay out of the BBC news recently given the seriousness of the accusations made against him and that….

    ‘Hermer has now been reported to the Bar Standards Board.’

    ….and that this relates to the Shiner case where so many false accusations were made against British troops…accusations, it might be added, that the BBC gave its own stamp of approval to with its enthusiastic coverage and a sense that they believed the troops were guilty…but they were not.

    ‘ In one internal email advising Shiner on how to ‘get the big story out there’, Hermer admitted that there needed to be ‘wriggle room if the killings did not in fact happen’. Other emails also appear to show that Hermer was enthusiastic about litigating against British soldiers, saying in one message, that ‘these Iraqi cases are a good reminder of why I wanted to be a lawyer’. ‘

    It should also be noted that Starmer himself encouraged the prosecutions…just as he pushes the cases against troops that served in Northern Ireland…whilst the IRA are given immunity.

    Another case where the BBC ignores an uncomfortable story for as long as possible and then if it sees that this is too big to hide will suddenly jump on board…and probably claim an ‘exclusive’….’a BBC investigation has revealed….’

    No irony that the BBC supports the nationalists that want to destroy Britain but rage against nationalists in England or across Britain that want to maintain that Britishness and keep us out from the EU stranglehold. The SNP, the Welsh and indeed the IRA are all cheered on by the BBC….but Reform? Racist, Far-Right thugs.
