I am here so send me to the top of the Thread. The BBC are wasteful with Amol Rajan still presenting the TOADY programme! Amol was presenting after he left the BBC months ago. The BBC are overstaffed have made incredible salary increases to the staff who have not resigned yet. Particularly wasteful in the light of BBC new scandals with someone breaking a BBC colleagues wrist which made the front of at least on Sunday newspaper today. The BBC have TDS in bucket loads and are anti-Israel, pro-Hamas and pro-Palestine. Just look at Jeremy Bowen’s reporting. Bias doesn’t come close!
Defund the BBC. The BBC are with the rest of the MSM in being anti-Nigel Farage. Do not pay your TellyTax. Again I say defund the BBC.
Rajan mumbles and talks too fast and is up his own a*** but does have brain cells and has clearly read the brief, revised stuff and thinks on his feet.
Anna Foster on the other hand, who the BBC inexplicably regard as the next great thing – presumably being a woman helps, talks like a robot and interviews like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

I heard that somebody interrupted the snooker to complain about the BBC LIcence … I wondered which of the ladies who frequent this site might have done the deed …
I am sure that allowing the hate marches has caused more trouble for the Jewish community and the growth of antisemitism. It isn’t just about free speech but the vile language, the masks, the threats delivered by the far Left and the Islamists marching, but the two tiered policing allowing things that would have other people arrested and put in jail (Lucy Connolly ). It has allowed the arrogance of the marchers to think they are above the law. And the more they have been allowed to do anything, like little children, they have pushed and pushed the boundaries.
But as soon as I heard the man who wouldn’t pay for his own spectacles say that he COULD ban the marches (he COULD do a lot of things, but actually doing them?) I knew that this was seen as an opportunity to ban the Tommy Robinson march. After that march has been stopped, well then the hate marches can go on again unhindered.
The BBC are now obsessed with finding someone to say ‘Trump was wrong’ then making front-page world news from it.
The purpose is painfully obvious : to continually discredit everything he does. Slowly slowly catch the monkey. It’s a subtle form of brainwashing.
These desperate headlines are pathetic. The BBC are like spiteful 12 year olds now.
Interestingly I have been listened to some old BBC radio comedy programs from the 70’s and 80’s. Blimey ! – they were openly Left-wing then. So many jokes about Tory politicians and I don’t recall a single one about anyone Left wing. They absolutely hated Thatcher and clearly thought everyone else did too.
WARNING! I have just spent an hour getting my iPad to log in after an overnight upgrade. It all appears to be down to Apple rolling out Herr Starmer’s new ID system which they claim is to prove I’m over 18 but will I am convinced be used to shut my life down remotely if I cross them in any way!
You will in future need to have to prove your ID and identity or have the your credit card or driving licence scanned onto your device to be allowed to use your own device including your phone. And Starmer’s goons will be able to see everything you do!
This is Soviet level shit!
Be warned, I am in IT and this needs to be booted out!
If it only affects Apple devices, mine are going in the bin…..
More and more online rags are using paywalls these days – any tips on how to avoid them? Even The Kent Messenger, which isn’t really the bastion of intellectual responsibility wants a few quid, but their ads are appalling anyway, so they’re avoided now!
For those watching in colour, everything is now Black in front of the white
(That’s a somewhat abstruse sideways reference to televised snooker – I like to throw something in for the teenagers to attempt to figure out)
OK, own up now, who was it?
We all know this must have been one of us hereabouts…
World Snooker Championship final halted by protest as person jumps over barrier… The protester was led away by security officials after being manhandled by the referee Rob Spencer. It appeared to be part of a bizarre protest against the TV licence. She could be heard shouting: “Who f***ing pays their TV licence anyway,” before adding: “Nobody pays their TV licence.”… the incident not shown during the live coverage. Instead, the BBC cameras continued to show the table whilst play was stopped. (Talk Sport)
Speaking of bizarre protests…
Zack Polanski will not back calls to ban the “globalise the intifada” chant at pro-Gaza rallies. PM Keir Starmer said the cry was “extreme racism” (The Sun)
If only the leftists hadn’t completely devalued the term to render the accusation of racism tag now practically water off a duck’s back.
You might have thought the present May Day long weekend, celebrated in some quarters as International Workers’ Day, would solicit from the left some form of celebration of working people – a tricky concept for this Starmer brand of Labour party as we recall.
In-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror today goes hammer and tongs against Nigel’s Reform – well of course it does – and the hue and cry is of course… racism…
Reform in new race row – screams the banner headline: ‘Abhorrent’ comment even condemned by one party’s own candidates… Fury at Brexit tycoon Banks (Mirror)
Dissing a ‘tycoon’ is about as close as the socialist title gets to a big-up the workers.
In case you were wondering what exactly constitutes abhorrent racism these days… bearing in mind it’s not marching through British streets brandishing a foreign terrorist flag, with a keffiyeh wrapped around your head and yelling “globalise the intifada”: Banks, who was one of the largest Brexit donors was blasted for writing “Welsh lad?” in response to a clip of a Black activist campaigning for Plaid Cymru (Mirror)
There’s a couple of points to unpack – as some people like to say. One notes the emphasis not just on race but on Brexit – more of that later. Secondly, one notes the Labour rag rushing to the defence of the Welsh nationalists… prefiguring the future necessity for Labour/Celtic fringe separatist rainbow coalitions, perhaps?
Hey, A.I., should the term “black” get an upper caste (sorry) case capital letter?
Yes, “Black” should generally be capitalized when referring to people in a racial, ethnic, or cultural context, as it signifies a shared identity and history rather than just a skin color. Major style guides like the Associated Press (AP) and APA now capitalize Black, while some, like the New York Times, keep white in lower case to avoid signaling a shared culture. – thank you A.I.
No “shared culture”, then?
As a final point of interest from the Mirror hit job on Reform, one feels it’s a misfire on the grounds that highlighting to the masses who didn’t see the minority interest social media post, the snark “Welsh lad?” those not of the card-carrying convinced leftist mindset may perhaps have their memory jogged concerning: Boy, 17, accused of murdering three girls in Southport attack is ‘quiet choirboy who was unwilling to leave his house’… Neighbours also claimed they repeatedly heard the teenager, originally from Cardiff, singing inside his home, The Mirror reports. (LBC, August 2024)
How does one even get to be Welsh? There’s no border controls. I know you can be administratively British by simply being granted a passport. But there’s no subset of Welsh passports.
Our various media titles can be like a dog with a bone when it comes to their most dearly prized hot button issues.
For the FT it’s the familar liberal globalist trifecta – the EU, TDS and climate alarmism.
Today the pink paper harps on two out of the three: Blowback… US wind farm plans blocked… Trump has called windfarms “the worst form of energy” – the FT ain’t having that: The schemes currently on hold could generate 30 gigawatts, enough to power 15mn homes – the FT neglects to do any cost benefit analysis for us.
One enjoys those juxtapositions of clashing headlines that tend to put the lie to a prevailing media narrative.
Our BBC goes with: What an empty car park tells us about the UK’s debt problem… Locals have been boycotting this car park in the Isle of Sheppey after the local council started charging motorists to use it (Michael Buchanan, Social affairs correspondent, BBC… and for some reason riding sidecar Adam Eley)
Labour’s plan to double parking fine fee… in new war on drivers (Daily Mail)
The Guardian front page likes to do that impression of the Harlem Voice: Here to entertain: Boyle’s pop-culture spectacular… One of the cast of hundreds… – and with a cast of hundreds to choose from… you guessed it, she’s Black
All this talk of choirboys and of the meaning of nationality has prompted thoughts of our great patriotic anthems. Let’s have some stirring lyrics hereabouts.
Wider still, and wider,
Shall thy bounds be set,
God, who made thee mighty,
Make thee mightier yet
European leaders converge on Armenia as Russia looks on… Armenia is a member of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Eurasian Economic Union, and Moscow hosts a military base on Armenian soil. On Monday, more than 30 European leaders and Canada’s prime minister will take part in a European Political Community (EPC) summit in the capital Yerevan… there is no timeline for EU membership… promises of civilian missions and visa liberalisation in the next two years… “It is not possible to be simultaneously in a customs union with both the European Union and the Eurasian Economic Union” (Rayhan Demytrie, South Caucasus correspondent, in Yerevan, BBC)
I wonder if the EU leaders are presenting little Armenia with a big bill – the cost for their closer relations? Britain told to pay £1bn a year to EU after ‘reset’ (Times)
Asiseeit – I prefer ‘coloured ‘ to ‘black ‘ – as in ‘pot coloured ‘ – a long deceased show killed off by the advent of coloured tv … …how about’ negro ‘? Im sure they like being called that …
Perhaps someone can go on question time and protest about the TV licence … or David – Zack – can blame Jews for it – and then refer to ‘his Jewish heritage ‘… which seems to be his fall back position when he gets a sticky question …..
As for TTK on an Eastern European jolly 3 days before local elections – perhaps his spads dont want him in even the most ‘labour ‘ areas because of the hate for him…
Here is the leaked press lines for Labour ministers after the elections –
1 we know it’s been a difficult night
2 we are sad to see so many good Labour councillors lose the seats
3 midterm elections are always tricky for the the party in power
4 we will listen to the electorate
5 we will help with the ‘cost of living crisis
6 difficult decisions can be unpopular in the short term
7 it’s the wrong time to change leaders
8 TTK is working hard for everyone
9 reform failed to ‘break through ‘
10 the green Muslims failed to ‘breakthrough ‘
11 make your own list
Most of the above is made up – but we ll be hearing a lot of it on Friday 8th
There was a “bit of a kerfuffle” close to my old stomping grounds of south London at the weekend; a drive by shooting in Brixton. Not unusual in that neck of the woods these days…
Now, I know Brixton only too well and I’m certain I know which demographic will be both perpetrators and victims…I don’t need to see photographs or hear descriptions…I just know.
However, there’s something really odd that happens to black people on TV. When I’m watching the news (not very often these days) I see black blokes attacking people with knives and guns. Some poor sod’s been hacked to death. A black gang have shot up another black gang. It’s always the same.
But when it gets to the adverts I only ever see smiling and friendly black men with adoring white women and a lovely family of equally cheerful mixed race children. Something is awry.
Hey Charles, William, Khunt, Starmer, here’s your Sharia.
Bibi Aisha: The Face That Refused to Disappear
Bibi Aisha’s life was written by others before she could write it herself.
Born in rural Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, she lost her mother young. In Pashtun tribal custom, her father promised her in baad a practice of giving girls to settle disputes. At 12, she was engaged to a Taliban fighter. At 14, she was married. She moved into his family’s home and endured years of physical and emotional abuse.
At 18, in 2009, she ran. She fled the compound hoping to find safety. Police caught her and sent her back to her father. A village jirga a tribal council decided her fate. For the “shame” of running, the Taliban court ruled she would be punished under their interpretation of sharia. Her brother-in-law held her down. Her husband cut off her nose and ears in the mountains near Kandahar. They left her to die.
She didn’t.
Aisha crawled to her grandfather’s house. He helped her reach an American military base. Aid workers from Women for Afghan Women got her to Kabul, then the U.S. She received reconstructive surgery in 2010 through the Grossman Burn Foundation in California. In August 2010, her portrait appeared on the cover of Time magazine with the headline: “What Happens If We Leave Afghanistan.” The image forced the world to look.
She was 19.
Aisha spent years in the U.S. recovering and learning to live with a prosthetic nose. She became a symbol not of victimhood, but of survival. Her case brought global attention to women’s rights under Taliban rule and the brutal cost of tribal justice systems.
She once said: “I want to tell all women who suffer: don’t stay quiet. The world must see.”
The BBC don’t like this story at all and AI tells me the only story they ran on the news page was 2 similar ones about the Time magazine front cover in 2010.
What is the BBC main focus for this article ?. The way Muslim men treat their women ?.
Nope : they don’t like it being used as a reason for the war in Afghanistan. They don’t give a shit about Aisha : in fact I think they wish she had never appeared at all. It just makes it awkward for the agenda.
In their article they write this:
‘Some critics questioned the tone of the Time cover arguing that it was using emotional blackmail and gender politics to justify continued US involvement in Afghanistan.’
As I have said many times, the BBC don’t give a shit about what happens to anybody. They only care if they can use it for their own agenda. Which sums up the nasty Left perfectly to me.
JohnC, agreed, that BBC response was about as warped and heartless as it was possible to get given the circumstances. I would wager quoted by a BBC Muslim male I bet! Of which they have hordes!
The BBC is a nest of vipers and should be cleansed of its poison or closed down for the heath of this land!
One thing you can give credit to the Muslims for is their absolutely brilliant PR team.
You would think that with all the bad things they are doing around the world whether it’s slaughtering Christians in Nigeria, mass grooming of little girls by gangs in the UK, the many many bombings, car into crowds, lone wolves, Charlie Hebdo and countless other atrocities…even the para glider boys slaughtering Jewish teenagers…and that’s not to mention the things like FGM or female oppression. You would think they may get a little bit of criticism.
Yet
All of the people who seem to have any power or say in things, our ‘elite’ masters, they think the Muslims are the greatest people ever to walk the Earth. They fall over themselves trying to make excuses for the regular killings.
They march each weekend with their little flags held high and their head coverings to show who they support and somehow the msm appear to support them.
They’ve turned the attack on the Jewish music concert where there were mass killings and rapes plus hostages taken into themselves being the victims. It’s like when they blow some children up somewhere they immediately come out with the Islamophobia defence and the ‘not all Muslims are like this’
Yes, I take my hat off to whoever is doing this PR for them because they are winning 100% of the time.
@Emmanuel Goldstein
Absolutely agree.
It’s one of the greatest mysteries of our time that such a manifestly cruel, demonic ideology gets a free pass from the ‘liberals’ and lefties, the very people who should be most alarmed.
Oppressive to women, yet the feminists love it; murderous to gays, yet you see Gays for Gaza or whatever their slogan is.
Anti-democratic and generally barbaric to all non-muslims, yet idolised by royals and lefties alike.
And somehow it’s those who speak out who are portrayed as bigoted, intolerant, belligerent, backwards, islamophobic, extreme.
Incredible. Almost as if there were dark forces at work to deceive the world. Clearly the devil protects his own.
I agree. Of all the institutions the Long March marched through, education was one of the more nefarious.
That’s why even a reformer like Trump has his work cut out. The poison takes many generations to work through the system.
And those institutions are all interlinked; schools, universities, government, civil service, media etc.
You can’t really reform the schools till you reform the teacher training colleges, but they can’t be reformed till the future lecturers are reformed from the schools upwards, and you need government and civil service commitment to change the education system and teachers, but that won’t happen till future leaders emerge from the education system etc etc.
Polly Toynbee In 2009, Polly Toynbee disclosed her salary as £106,000 later disclosures are a bit higher.

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end.
Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded,…
“The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end.
Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up.
If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud.
The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain.
You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.”
Some evidence of military activity about to start in the SoH. Dubai have switched mobile data to a different network.
If it had not been for low grade w media outfits such as the bBC this war would have been over by now. The bBC’s of this world appear to be reporting on an anti-Trump narrative not on a war that involves death. Their reporting has all the hallmarks of US media reporting on the Vietnam war, albeit a completely different war in different circumstances. It is high risk and not professional.
The war will now need to be escallated to establish who controls the SoH. Plenty to go wrong here. W media should set aside its prejudices; those prejudices threaten the lives of many people – mostly in Iran.

The Green Party under Zack has all the characteristics of a classic doomsday cult. You have a charismatic but dubious quasi religious leader. The cult is framed around an impending catastrophe scenario, a ready made one is provided by the Government and supported by the BBC and Establishment ie man made global warming. Non believers are treated as evil so members of the cult are good everyone else as wrong and bad.
Cults from the past that conform to these ideas:
Charles Manson and family, Helter Skelter etc
Jim Jones, Peoples’s Temple, Jonestown
Bagwan and the Aum Cult
Davis Koresh
Heavans Gate
Not sure I classify Polanski as charismatic. More like like deluded mentally challenged cretin who should be sectioned under the mental health act as well as most members of Starmers cabinet.
You may have voted for Brexit Taffman but most of the electorate didn’t. Furthermore people are allowed to change their minds and having seen what a disaster Brexit has been that’s exactly what has happened.
The bullstrode doctrine appears to be that those who didn’t vote deserves a different form of democracy – but like the numbers who actually voted Labour last time .
It’s inevitable that the political class will one day formally rejoin the UK to the ReichEU- from a personal point of view I would be financially better off without the pound – but I have an unpopular streak of Britishness in me – which is beyond money … and which is why I am so repelled by what the blob has done to us ….
Thr referendum needed to rejoin the ReichEu will be properly fixed next time using Obama Biden methodology to ‘bake in ‘ ( ugh ) the outcome …
That assumes – of course TTK puts it in the manifesto next time to getbullstrode signed up …
Bullstrode.
I wouldn’t describe Brexit as a disaster at all but it wasn’t as good as it should have been. Due to the intransigence of the Remoaners, Starmer plus many other politicians, people like Gina Miller, Teresa May, the Establishment and the EU itself meant we could never have made the best deal. Our negotiating position was weakened by our leaders and background noise meant our positions was seriously eroded, mostly from within. What do you get when you conduct a negotiation from a transparently weak position? A bad deal.
Bullstrode
“Furthermore people are allowed to change their minds and having seen what a disaster etc…. ”
Could this be applied to the present Labour government?
The vote was once in a generation. That the bureaucratic/political establishment did not agree with the vote and have fought a rearguard action since is irrelevant – we have to live with the mess, albeit an unnecessary one and driven by a minority of the voters.
Ultimately the referendum was one of instinct and instinct said out. There is good reason for that instinct; mainland Europe’s perception of risk is military, while the UK’s preception of risk is political. Membership of the EU enhances political risk and mainland EU politicians have not grasped that concept.
The UK leaving the EU was a strategic disaster for the continent, but their response has been pathetic. Rather than analyse why we left they have indulged themselves in a bit of ‘wife beating’ to ‘learn’ the UK a lesson.
I will take great pleasure in watching the medicine not working should we rejoin within a lifetime, or some Starmer legalistic fudge. I will take even greater pleasure at watching the results of ignoring political risk. Remainers are making some very dangerous assumptions from a position of arrogance.
Taffman
TTK being a liar / deceiver – he’d do everything to ‘return ‘ to the reichEU without formally rejoining – until we are worn down …. But with a bit of luck he ll be replaced – and his replacement will be pre occupied justifying himself not causing a general election until one has to take place …. Imagine the scum as PM with mad ed as chancellor ….
Here’s a Brexit related thought…. Is it remotely possible that our cuddly European neighbours were so pissed off with the Brexit outcome that they have secretly banded together to financially enable the easy flooding of uneconomic migrants across Europe and into the UK. Maybe even secretly supplying the boats, instructions and pilots etc?
Maybe that’s why the people smugglers are so hard to run to earth, there aren’t any! They are all in Brussels!
digg
That has always been my opinion.
But there is an answer?
For every illegal boat crossing the English Chanel stop every fishing boat fishing in our waters!
It would be a good adjunct for our fish industry .
This The simple question is…. Why do the immigrants not stop when they reach Germany, or France?
Answer is that these countries give them sweet FA… and point them on to the land of free housing, healthcare, pocket money, mobile phone etc. etc. etc.
The simple question is…. Why do the immigrants not stop when they reach Germany, or France?
Answer is that these countries give them sweet FA… and point them or probably help them on to the land of free housing, food, healthcare, pocket money, mobile phone etc. etc. etc.
Only four have any money, so you end up buying them drinks all day, then you go home because you have to work the next day, are compelled to leave money behind so they can get hammered and get a taxi home.
When you try and complain or suggest a fairer scheme, it only takes one vote to be overruled.
You just know Starmer is going to cost us billions we don’t have. He’s deluded that people approve of anything he does. He’s seen as a joke and a soft touch by Europe and rightly so
Since late July 2022, the share of people who regret Brexit in these surveys has consistently been above 50 percent. Additionally, a survey from January 2025 highlighted that most people in the UK thought that Brexit had had a mainly negative impact, especially on the cost of living and the economy.
Bullstrode – I admire your devotion to formally rejoining something the UK state has never left – UK never became fully independent – and the argument that voting intentions are different now is ok if you held a referendum – say – every 3 months .
But despite all the anti Brexit propaganda and threats a majority of those who chose to vote – voted for it …. Maybe you’ll be happier in 2030 if TTK formally returns what’s left of the UK to full Brussels control …. Personally – I’d rather become a state of the US – which is currently almost as right wing as I am ( cut welfare – NHS – size of state – cut taxes – deport millions – sort of thing )
Telegraph reports that HMS scrap – previously known as HMS Iron Duck – has been taken out of service after a £103 million refit – including an on board mosque … it leaves the ex navy with minus 2 ships …. And 30 admirals and support staff …
HMS dinghy was last seen hiding under a cover at Gibraltar …
The police have reported that he “No longer presents a threat”. From this I assume that he must be dead, so “mental issues” shouldn’t be, er. an issue.
If he’s still alive he is still a threat, detained or not.

““I’ve sat in the cabinet office watching terrorists run cave to cave on a mobile phone, phoning london human lawyers demand millions from uk tax payers. And the cabinet offrice say we have to pay them out and sends these millions” – Dominic Cummings @ 361
“… it is unlawful to keep convicted terrorists under surveillance”
A Government Insider On Why Immigration Got Out Of Control | Dominic Cummings: What Can Be Done?
The BBC informs us that the Leipzig car-rammer was a German citizen.
Phew, for a moment I was worried he might be a Welsh choirboy – they’re the really dangerous ones.
Here’s a tragic tale of a woke, open-border, pro-migrant Spanish woman whose life (and house) was ruined by an African illegal she put up.
It’s enough to make you weep – with laughter!
Listening to Today this morning and you’d think the problems in the Straits of Hormuz were America’s doing rather than a rogue terrorist state attacking civilian shipping and surrounding countries…you can see how the BBC approaches this from its latest effort as it informs us that Trump trying to get shipping moving again must have Iranian consent….that’s like asking car thieves if you can drive your own car.
‘Once it became clear that President Trump’s plan, dubbed “Project Freedom”, was being done without the consent of Iran, escalation was always a risk.’
Once the Allies began the invasion of France on D-Day without the consent of the Nazis escalation was always a risk.
The BBC is an Iranian propaganda mouthpiece. Shut it down.
I just watched Starmer proudly announcing the UK will join a £78 billion loan to Ukraine. WTF!!?? We're broke, highest ever levels of debt, highest ever levels of tax, economy a total mess. Where is that money coming from when we simply haven't got it!? Something is very wrong! pic.twitter.com/GvgyF9mNe7

UK MPs will receive a 5% pay rise from April 1, 2026, increasing their basic annual salary to £98,599. Announced by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), this 2026-27 increase includes a 1.5% benchmarking adjustment and a 3.5% cost-of-living increase.
“As of April 2025, GPs in England are able to claim £20 for each patient they seek specialist advice on rather than automatically referring them to a hospital. This initiative, expanding upon existing “Advice and Guidance” (A&G) systems, aims to reduce NHS waiting lists by directing patient care toward community settings rather than hospital appointments. “
The BBC proudly announce that Smarmer will host a Downing Street summit to address antisemitism.
The article fails to mention the source of the antisemitism in question, namely Islam and the hard left, who organise anti-Jewish hate marches on a regular basis with their obscene chants of “Globalize the intifada”, while mayor Khunt looks the other way.
Not more anti British Prometheus rubbish. The spirit of 1776 lives on. Lies and bullying. A section of the US has always been strongly anti- British. I listened all the way through to that cow in the previous post. It confirms my view that the majority of the US political past has a very warped view what the British Empire was and how it operated. Even in world war two the Yanks tried to force the end of the British Empire and to a large part succeeded. They saw it as the same way as the men who started the revolutionary war. Their thinking has not moved on. The shocking thing is that so many Brits especially in the ruling classes having gone along with it and taking a servile attitude to the US as part of the ‘managed decline’ policies common to both Toryies and Labour. I should point out that while the Left of the Labour party were very anti- American, they did not support or care about Britain.
When the Argentines attacked the Falklands the yanks were luke-warm about supporting Britain. Only one man bravely fully supported Britain and that was Casper Weinberger. Ronald Regan was not the huge support that legend has it. My source? Margaret Thatcher in her autobiography.
Trump has been the most genuinely friendly President to the UK there has been in my life time. It is a crying shame that his genuinely friendly attitude was not appreciated by Boris Johnson or Teresa May. And now we have the worst example of all the dismal Starmer. He has lost patience. I don’t blame him.
Britain needs to regain its’ past from both from the Leninist anti-Imperialist dogma purveyed in the schools and from the anti British, and very biased nationalist narrative from the USA, India and Ireland. Until it does it will never be ‘Great Again’ it will always be weak.
But like the BBC, GCHQ is anti-British pro-Invasion, anti-Trump pro-Democrat, anti-Russia pro-EU, anti-Semitic pro-Islam, and anti-Christian pro-Communist.
Trump is pro-British anti-BBC, pro-England anti-Invasion, pro-Scotland anti-rapist, pro-Wales anti-windmill, pro-Israel anti-Iran, and pro-Freedom anti-GCHQ.
Iran are terrorists who are close to developing a nuclear weapon which they will certainly use for their extremist Islamic terrorist mission. They are not ‘righteous underdogs’ and they don’t ‘warn’ the USA about anything like the BBC are trying to make us believe. They are terrorist scum trying to collapse the world economy by launching terrorist attacks against civilian shipping who want to legally use the straight of Hormuz.
Half the strait belongs to Oman. Not Iran. Yet they threaten it with their missiles. Oman are quiet because of fear of terrorist attack from Iran. Why does nobody mention this ?. All the stories imply it belongs to Iran.
Someone should let the BBC know so they stop making themselves complicit with yet another terrorist state.
Yasser – I’d like to know the \point ‘ when GB lost it ? The hubris …Was it the summer of 1914 ? Was it some sort of ‘moral thing ‘ when GB gave up on self interest and decided to be involved in other peoples ‘ wars ?
Certainly the US has been excellent at exploiting moments when GB got weak – 1916 – 1941 – suez – now –
I can’t see a recovery – the lefty self harm and Islam are such potent enemies as to be beyond control . The system is now controlled by them ….
…. Im now at the stage of switching on ‘today’ – hearing comrade Robinson and instantly switching off and getting news from X …
2 days until TTK gets his kicking – his Marxists are keeping him far far away – toxic ..
He’s only running away to his Euromates, so he can give away another billion of our taxes to add to the money being culled from everyone else, to pay for Ukrainian Bentleys etc.
Ian Duncan Smith has just explained that there are countless billions of Russian assets banked up in Belgium, but everyone there is s*** scared of seizing this cash, so it falls on our pathetic, cringing ‘lawyer’, posing as someone important, to ‘negotiate’ (give away) even more of our money which could pay for mending all the potholes by the end of the month! (As Andy says below)!
If the councils do indeed start changing to Reform, those counties and towns may see some results, but any ‘green’ council will no doubt encourage more holes to keep cars off the road in their manic muslim state of madness.
Fed, you deserve a medal for putting up with even a few seconds of Nick Robinson – he’s a main part of the problem in all the bBC’s far-left bias we have to endure.
‘More than half of Muslims would vote for pro-Gaza independents to stop Labour from winning, a new poll has revealed.’
‘The polling, conducted by JL Partners, shows six in 10 Muslim voters in key battleground councils are prepared to back Gaza-focused independent candidates as a means of defeating Labour.’
But as I read the article it dawned on me that the vote of Muslims depends on one single issue : what is best for Islam. Not Islam in the UK, Islam across the world. They will ignore any and all issues about our country whilst instead voting for someone who will force support for a terrorist Muslim country thousands of miles away.
As much as I consider the options, I can see only one solution. They have been here 50 years or more and things are worse than ever. As their numbers increase, so does the weight of their vote for issues like this. But that solution involves deporting all such minded people to the Muslim countries where their loyalties lie.
Is this where ‘democracy’ as we know has failed and is no longer fit for purpose – or is it right just to let it happen knowing full well they will eventually transform our country into a shithole just like where they came from ?. There is no doubt about that now.
Fed, I wish I could point to a tipping point event and say this is when the Brits began to go downhill. Perhaps it was when they gave in to Irish nationalists in the early 1920s. It wasn’t a good deal for the Brits but they did manage to include three ports known as the treaty ports on the Irish Free state coast which were considered necessary for the Royal Navy and defence of Britain. They were on 99 year leases. Chamberlain gave them all away in 1938 and there was not much outrage that I can tell. There was a clause whereby the Brits could get them back in the event of an emergency, but a year later the request was denied by DeValera who did not consider war against Hitler met the requirements. Surprise surprise! Many British and other lives would have been saved if they’d had use of these ports. Chamberlain was a pathetic negotiator. But the rot must have set in before that. Exactly when… I’m still working on that.
Andy, Sod’s law says that however well you know a piece of road, where there’s a pothole or busted drain cover, that as you approach it, and wish to go round it, there’ll be someone else coming in the opposite direction…
Traitor Starmer must be one of the most revolting people in Britain. To watch him trying to justify putting our money into an EU Ukraine fund makes me sick. He openly declares we need to be closer to the EU. There was no need for our money to be wrapped up in an EU banner, it was only done to suit Starmer and his rejoining objectives.
Apart from his betrayal of Britain the way this fund is being assembled can only reinforce the view that the Ukraine is being taken into the EU power block. It will only ensure Russia will intensify action against the Ukraine.

It’s fitting how headline stories about Starmer and about Iran dominate the news… neither seems to know when they’re beat and when it’s time to throw in the towel.
Our BBC sum up our twin bad losers, home and away, with their double whammy header for their online print press line-up this morning: ‘Rivals circle Starmer’ and bid to reopen Hormuz pushes region ‘to the brink’ (BBC)
For some light relief let’s flick through the press pile down to the in-the-tank for Labour tabloid Mirror.
Afterall, Sir Keir ain’t doing any campaigning personally, so it’s left to his remaining friends in the media: ‘Toxic’ Starmer kept away from local elections campaign trail… this newspaper found that Sir Keir had taken part in 11 election campaign visits in the past two months. This paled in comparison to Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, who recorded 71 visits (Telegraph)
Cue the Mirror – and it’s going to be a bit of a Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster moment: Election special… STOP HIM… At 93, former nurse Dorothy is speaking out for the first time in her life. Reform tried to close her care home, to evict her friends from the place they feel safe. They saw an easy target but these terrified pensioners fought back. And Dorothy is urging us all to do the same… “…I hope nobody votes for them.” And we visit the key battlegrounds to find out what voters really think. Full story: P2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10&11 (Mirror)
Somewhat beyond satire, I think you’ll agree.
Moving on… from Dorothy, friend of Sir Keir… (allegedly) The Times draws parallels with 2006: Open letter will demand PM’s resignation date… inspired by the putsch by Gordon Brown’s allies against Tony Blair – I guess recalling how that history went Sir Keir chose not to wander out on the campaign trail in case he bumped into some “bigoted woman”
Let’s delve into some of those juxapositions of clashing press features that taken together speak louder than when read separately.
The corporate giveaway adsheet Metro today tends to ape the Guardian, which itself tends to imitate the Harlem Voice, in its strenuous efforts to promote Black faces to the front page – for non-crime stories.
There once was a woman from north London… Singer Alison Limerick’s happy place… Property & Home (freebie Metro)
In case you were wondering: Who is Alison Limerick? The singer behind the 2025 John Lewis Christmas advert (Indy)
However: Fifth fewer properties to rent in London (Telegraph); and for good measure: Channel crossing crisis… Just one more small boat and arrivals hit.. 200,000… another 800 arrived over the weekend… Record toll is size of York… only 7,612 get deported (The Sun)
The Telegraph posits a possible antidote to the problem: Migrants housed in Green seats? That’s genius!
The Mail plump for Kemi with a law and order platitude: Tory leader says there ‘must be ‘consequences’ for shoplifting and vandalism
In further crime news – the cops are apparently desperate for some good PR headline: Cops in Maddie hope (Star); Met seek UK trial for Madeleine suspect. Police think they have sufficient evidence to force murder trial at Old Bailey (Telegraph) – What, with our courts backlog? Let’s not get into this one – suffice to say your Mr AsI true to form doubts the official media line on the story – but what do I know, I still think the Wilmslow Boy was guilty. (There’s one for the teenagers)
Despite feminism, it’s still any excuse for a front page feature starlet pin-up and the Met Gala is as good as any. Nicole Kidman gets the nod from the Times and Lauren Sanchez Bezos from the Telegraph – although the latter is less starlet and more trophy wife. Tickets cost $100,000 by the way. Get ready for all that celeb virtue signalling.
In a perhaps overly frank report the giveaway Metro observes: Celebrity boobs overtook the Met Gala and we don’t know where to look
One more juxtaposition… for the road…? I’ll drink to that
Pubs bet on World Cup… racing to upgrade their television screens (FT); Two pubs close every day this year after tax grab by Reeves (Telegraph)
No support from the present government because they are meeting places where the public voice their dissent and discontent of the present politicians in power .
What’s more, beer is far cheaper in the supermarkets than in the pubs.
Meanwhile – the Manchester airport affray trial rolls on …. By now the defence will have either bored or confused the jury to a not guilty verdict…..
And then there’s the 3 rent boys ( now theres an Islington pub name ) where lawyers continue to maximise their income on over long trials ….presuded ovdr by TTK judges appointed by comrade Hermer
Lower taxes, more money to spend.
Remove fuel duty, cheaper energy.
Close the borders, protect the people.
Increase tax allowance, more money in economy.
Ensure everyone speaks English, fewer deaths.

At the moment im thinking – lammy – to add a bit of colour .. with mad ed as chancellor- should kick the financial panic off nicely
Echoing the discomfiture of at least one fellow poster hereabouts, overnight Apple send an unwarranted software update to Mr AsI’s cell phone.
Amidst a barrage of multilingual greetings… “¡Hola!” etc., one is challenged to navigate beyond the demands to prove one is over eighteen years of age – wasn’t that taken as read by way of the phone contract?
Happily side-stepping through a veritable chicane of “Laters” and “Not Now Thanks” on the nudge nudge menu one at last (for now) avoids serving up even more of my personal data to feed the insatiable crony corporate maw. What services will one be denied in the meantime? Why confirm one is over eighteen?
Why, we wonder… they claim lest one will be unable to utilise certain (unspecified) services – what do Apple want to send me, free porno movies?
On the plus side, they seem to be ruling out the otherwise looming option for sixteen-year-olds to vote remotely on their moby.
“Liverpool ‘child asylum seekers’ found to be adults”
Published | 8 December 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-46494675
Twenty-four asylum seekers who claimed they were children after being sent to Liverpool were found to be adults, the city’s council has said.
The authority said another 15 asylum seekers “should have been identified as children” by the government and accommodated in London instead.
A Home Office spokesman said age-disputed cases remain “a very challenging area”.
Liverpool City Council wants to recover £657,000 for supporting the children (THEY WERE NOT CHILDREN HA HA HAH A HAH A, SO WHY SAY CHILDREN).
The authority “had to pay for an ‘age assessment’ for each one (costing £1,500 each) that concluded that 15 were children and 24 were adults”.
Anyone have an update on the Epsom gang rape story?
Police say it never happened, but I’m afraid we know longer believe our police.
Has there not been a curious investigative journalist to track down the alleged victim to get her story? Or have the police terrified her into lifelong silence?
Anyone?

I am here so send me to the top of the Thread. The BBC are wasteful with Amol Rajan still presenting the TOADY programme! Amol was presenting after he left the BBC months ago. The BBC are overstaffed have made incredible salary increases to the staff who have not resigned yet. Particularly wasteful in the light of BBC new scandals with someone breaking a BBC colleagues wrist which made the front of at least on Sunday newspaper today. The BBC have TDS in bucket loads and are anti-Israel, pro-Hamas and pro-Palestine. Just look at Jeremy Bowen’s reporting. Bias doesn’t come close!
Defund the BBC. The BBC are with the rest of the MSM in being anti-Nigel Farage. Do not pay your TellyTax. Again I say defund the BBC.
Rajan mumbles and talks too fast and is up his own a*** but does have brain cells and has clearly read the brief, revised stuff and thinks on his feet.
Anna Foster on the other hand, who the BBC inexplicably regard as the next great thing – presumably being a woman helps, talks like a robot and interviews like a rabbit caught in the headlights.
Mrs Loather insists on watch Rajan on University Challenge. With his watches and bling I can never decide if he looks like a pimp or a drug dealer.

Kemi Badenoch sees straight through this false equivalence.
Impartial, my ****
BAN PRO INTIFADA PROTESTS
Here Kemi Badenoch is baited by the BBC
into trying to have our march banned.
Kemi sees straight through their agenda, so fair play to her for that.
We have never glorified terrorism or jihadists.
We have never called for violence.
We don’t sympathise with Hamas.
We don’t shout ‘from the river to the sea’.
We don’t hate Jews.
We love our country and our people.
Our Unite The Kingdom events are not comparable, not even slightly.
Better luck next time BBC you filthy dirty smear merchants.
We call for peace and unity, the pro Palestinian, far left and Islamic revolutionaries call for the exact opposite.
We are not the same.
See you all in London on the 16th of May.
Make your stand.
I am sure that allowing the hate marches has caused more trouble for the Jewish community and the growth of antisemitism. It isn’t just about free speech but the vile language, the masks, the threats delivered by the far Left and the Islamists marching, but the two tiered policing allowing things that would have other people arrested and put in jail (Lucy Connolly ). It has allowed the arrogance of the marchers to think they are above the law. And the more they have been allowed to do anything, like little children, they have pushed and pushed the boundaries.
But as soon as I heard the man who wouldn’t pay for his own spectacles say that he COULD ban the marches (he COULD do a lot of things, but actually doing them?) I knew that this was seen as an opportunity to ban the Tommy Robinson march. After that march has been stopped, well then the hate marches can go on again unhindered.

The BBC are now obsessed with finding someone to say ‘Trump was wrong’ then making front-page world news from it.
The purpose is painfully obvious : to continually discredit everything he does. Slowly slowly catch the monkey. It’s a subtle form of brainwashing.
These desperate headlines are pathetic. The BBC are like spiteful 12 year olds now.
Interestingly I have been listened to some old BBC radio comedy programs from the 70’s and 80’s. Blimey ! – they were openly Left-wing then. So many jokes about Tory politicians and I don’t recall a single one about anyone Left wing. They absolutely hated Thatcher and clearly thought everyone else did too.
WARNING! I have just spent an hour getting my iPad to log in after an overnight upgrade. It all appears to be down to Apple rolling out Herr Starmer’s new ID system which they claim is to prove I’m over 18 but will I am convinced be used to shut my life down remotely if I cross them in any way!
You will in future need to have to prove your ID and identity or have the your credit card or driving licence scanned onto your device to be allowed to use your own device including your phone. And Starmer’s goons will be able to see everything you do!
This is Soviet level shit!
Be warned, I am in IT and this needs to be booted out!
If it only affects Apple devices, mine are going in the bin…..
Happened on my iPhone too, Digg!
More and more online rags are using paywalls these days – any tips on how to avoid them? Even The Kent Messenger, which isn’t really the bastion of intellectual responsibility wants a few quid, but their ads are appalling anyway, so they’re avoided now!

I kid you not.

Sluff, quite mad on a Miliband (Minibrain) scale. How soon will we something similar here?
For those watching in colour, everything is now Black in front of the white
(That’s a somewhat abstruse sideways reference to televised snooker – I like to throw something in for the teenagers to attempt to figure out)
OK, own up now, who was it?
We all know this must have been one of us hereabouts…
World Snooker Championship final halted by protest as person jumps over barrier… The protester was led away by security officials after being manhandled by the referee Rob Spencer. It appeared to be part of a bizarre protest against the TV licence. She could be heard shouting: “Who f***ing pays their TV licence anyway,” before adding: “Nobody pays their TV licence.”… the incident not shown during the live coverage. Instead, the BBC cameras continued to show the table whilst play was stopped. (Talk Sport)
Speaking of bizarre protests…
Zack Polanski will not back calls to ban the “globalise the intifada” chant at pro-Gaza rallies. PM Keir Starmer said the cry was “extreme racism” (The Sun)
If only the leftists hadn’t completely devalued the term to render the accusation of racism tag now practically water off a duck’s back.
You might have thought the present May Day long weekend, celebrated in some quarters as International Workers’ Day, would solicit from the left some form of celebration of working people – a tricky concept for this Starmer brand of Labour party as we recall.
In-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror today goes hammer and tongs against Nigel’s Reform – well of course it does – and the hue and cry is of course… racism…
Reform in new race row – screams the banner headline: ‘Abhorrent’ comment even condemned by one party’s own candidates… Fury at Brexit tycoon Banks (Mirror)
Dissing a ‘tycoon’ is about as close as the socialist title gets to a big-up the workers.
In case you were wondering what exactly constitutes abhorrent racism these days… bearing in mind it’s not marching through British streets brandishing a foreign terrorist flag, with a keffiyeh wrapped around your head and yelling “globalise the intifada”: Banks, who was one of the largest Brexit donors was blasted for writing “Welsh lad?” in response to a clip of a Black activist campaigning for Plaid Cymru (Mirror)
There’s a couple of points to unpack – as some people like to say. One notes the emphasis not just on race but on Brexit – more of that later. Secondly, one notes the Labour rag rushing to the defence of the Welsh nationalists… prefiguring the future necessity for Labour/Celtic fringe separatist rainbow coalitions, perhaps?
Hey, A.I., should the term “black” get an upper
caste(sorry) case capital letter?Yes, “Black” should generally be capitalized when referring to people in a racial, ethnic, or cultural context, as it signifies a shared identity and history rather than just a skin color. Major style guides like the Associated Press (AP) and APA now capitalize Black, while some, like the New York Times, keep white in lower case to avoid signaling a shared culture. – thank you A.I.
No “shared culture”, then?
As a final point of interest from the Mirror hit job on Reform, one feels it’s a misfire on the grounds that highlighting to the masses who didn’t see the minority interest social media post, the snark “Welsh lad?” those not of the card-carrying convinced leftist mindset may perhaps have their memory jogged concerning: Boy, 17, accused of murdering three girls in Southport attack is ‘quiet choirboy who was unwilling to leave his house’… Neighbours also claimed they repeatedly heard the teenager, originally from Cardiff, singing inside his home, The Mirror reports. (LBC, August 2024)
How does one even get to be Welsh? There’s no border controls. I know you can be administratively British by simply being granted a passport. But there’s no subset of Welsh passports.
Our various media titles can be like a dog with a bone when it comes to their most dearly prized hot button issues.
For the FT it’s the familar liberal globalist trifecta – the EU, TDS and climate alarmism.
Today the pink paper harps on two out of the three: Blowback… US wind farm plans blocked… Trump has called windfarms “the worst form of energy” – the FT ain’t having that: The schemes currently on hold could generate 30 gigawatts, enough to power 15mn homes – the FT neglects to do any cost benefit analysis for us.
One enjoys those juxtapositions of clashing headlines that tend to put the lie to a prevailing media narrative.
Our BBC goes with: What an empty car park tells us about the UK’s debt problem… Locals have been boycotting this car park in the Isle of Sheppey after the local council started charging motorists to use it (Michael Buchanan, Social affairs correspondent, BBC… and for some reason riding sidecar Adam Eley)
Labour’s plan to double parking fine fee… in new war on drivers (Daily Mail)
The Guardian front page likes to do that impression of the Harlem Voice: Here to entertain: Boyle’s pop-culture spectacular… One of the cast of hundreds… – and with a cast of hundreds to choose from… you guessed it, she’s Black
All this talk of choirboys and of the meaning of nationality has prompted thoughts of our great patriotic anthems. Let’s have some stirring lyrics hereabouts.
Wider still, and wider,
Shall thy bounds be set,
God, who made thee mighty,
Make thee mightier yet
European leaders converge on Armenia as Russia looks on… Armenia is a member of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Eurasian Economic Union, and Moscow hosts a military base on Armenian soil. On Monday, more than 30 European leaders and Canada’s prime minister will take part in a European Political Community (EPC) summit in the capital Yerevan… there is no timeline for EU membership… promises of civilian missions and visa liberalisation in the next two years… “It is not possible to be simultaneously in a customs union with both the European Union and the Eurasian Economic Union” (Rayhan Demytrie, South Caucasus correspondent, in Yerevan, BBC)
I wonder if the EU leaders are presenting little Armenia with a big bill – the cost for their closer relations? Britain told to pay £1bn a year to EU after ‘reset’ (Times)
Asiseeit – I prefer ‘coloured ‘ to ‘black ‘ – as in ‘pot coloured ‘ – a long deceased show killed off by the advent of coloured tv … …how about’ negro ‘? Im sure they like being called that …
Perhaps someone can go on question time and protest about the TV licence … or David – Zack – can blame Jews for it – and then refer to ‘his Jewish heritage ‘… which seems to be his fall back position when he gets a sticky question …..
As for TTK on an Eastern European jolly 3 days before local elections – perhaps his spads dont want him in even the most ‘labour ‘ areas because of the hate for him…
Here is the leaked press lines for Labour ministers after the elections –
1 we know it’s been a difficult night
2 we are sad to see so many good Labour councillors lose the seats
3 midterm elections are always tricky for the the party in power
4 we will listen to the electorate
5 we will help with the ‘cost of living crisis
6 difficult decisions can be unpopular in the short term
7 it’s the wrong time to change leaders
8 TTK is working hard for everyone
9 reform failed to ‘break through ‘
10 the green Muslims failed to ‘breakthrough ‘
11 make your own list
Most of the above is made up – but we ll be hearing a lot of it on Friday 8th
There was a “bit of a kerfuffle” close to my old stomping grounds of south London at the weekend; a drive by shooting in Brixton. Not unusual in that neck of the woods these days…
Now, I know Brixton only too well and I’m certain I know which demographic will be both perpetrators and victims…I don’t need to see photographs or hear descriptions…I just know.
However, there’s something really odd that happens to black people on TV. When I’m watching the news (not very often these days) I see black blokes attacking people with knives and guns. Some poor sod’s been hacked to death. A black gang have shot up another black gang. It’s always the same.
But when it gets to the adverts I only ever see smiling and friendly black men with adoring white women and a lovely family of equally cheerful mixed race children. Something is awry.
I can’t quite work it out…
Same with the RNLI ads. They apparently only save white people but on the news they are 100% coloured. Funny, innit?
Scrap both the RNLI & HM Coast Guard and give the job to the Royal Navy.

Bibi Aisha: The Face That Refused to Disappear
Bibi Aisha’s life was written by others before she could write it herself.
Born in rural Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, she lost her mother young. In Pashtun tribal custom, her father promised her in baad a practice of giving girls to settle disputes. At 12, she was engaged to a Taliban fighter. At 14, she was married. She moved into his family’s home and endured years of physical and emotional abuse.
At 18, in 2009, she ran. She fled the compound hoping to find safety. Police caught her and sent her back to her father. A village jirga a tribal council decided her fate. For the “shame” of running, the Taliban court ruled she would be punished under their interpretation of sharia. Her brother-in-law held her down. Her husband cut off her nose and ears in the mountains near Kandahar. They left her to die.
She didn’t.
Aisha crawled to her grandfather’s house. He helped her reach an American military base. Aid workers from Women for Afghan Women got her to Kabul, then the U.S. She received reconstructive surgery in 2010 through the Grossman Burn Foundation in California. In August 2010, her portrait appeared on the cover of Time magazine with the headline: “What Happens If We Leave Afghanistan.” The image forced the world to look.
She was 19.
Aisha spent years in the U.S. recovering and learning to live with a prosthetic nose. She became a symbol not of victimhood, but of survival. Her case brought global attention to women’s rights under Taliban rule and the brutal cost of tribal justice systems.
She once said: “I want to tell all women who suffer: don’t stay quiet. The world must see.”
The BBC don’t like this story at all and AI tells me the only story they ran on the news page was 2 similar ones about the Time magazine front cover in 2010.
Mutilated Afghan girl Aisha gets new nose
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-11530849#:~:text=Aisha's%20new%20nose%20is%20a,%22Thank%20you%20so%20much.%22
What is the BBC main focus for this article ?. The way Muslim men treat their women ?.
Nope : they don’t like it being used as a reason for the war in Afghanistan. They don’t give a shit about Aisha : in fact I think they wish she had never appeared at all. It just makes it awkward for the agenda.
In their article they write this:
‘Some critics questioned the tone of the Time cover arguing that it was using emotional blackmail and gender politics to justify continued US involvement in Afghanistan.’
As I have said many times, the BBC don’t give a shit about what happens to anybody. They only care if they can use it for their own agenda. Which sums up the nasty Left perfectly to me.
JohnC, agreed, that BBC response was about as warped and heartless as it was possible to get given the circumstances. I would wager quoted by a BBC Muslim male I bet! Of which they have hordes!
The BBC is a nest of vipers and should be cleansed of its poison or closed down for the heath of this land!
One thing you can give credit to the Muslims for is their absolutely brilliant PR team.
You would think that with all the bad things they are doing around the world whether it’s slaughtering Christians in Nigeria, mass grooming of little girls by gangs in the UK, the many many bombings, car into crowds, lone wolves, Charlie Hebdo and countless other atrocities…even the para glider boys slaughtering Jewish teenagers…and that’s not to mention the things like FGM or female oppression. You would think they may get a little bit of criticism.
Yet
All of the people who seem to have any power or say in things, our ‘elite’ masters, they think the Muslims are the greatest people ever to walk the Earth. They fall over themselves trying to make excuses for the regular killings.
They march each weekend with their little flags held high and their head coverings to show who they support and somehow the msm appear to support them.
They’ve turned the attack on the Jewish music concert where there were mass killings and rapes plus hostages taken into themselves being the victims. It’s like when they blow some children up somewhere they immediately come out with the Islamophobia defence and the ‘not all Muslims are like this’
Yes, I take my hat off to whoever is doing this PR for them because they are winning 100% of the time.
@Emmanuel Goldstein
Absolutely agree.
It’s one of the greatest mysteries of our time that such a manifestly cruel, demonic ideology gets a free pass from the ‘liberals’ and lefties, the very people who should be most alarmed.
Oppressive to women, yet the feminists love it; murderous to gays, yet you see Gays for Gaza or whatever their slogan is.
Anti-democratic and generally barbaric to all non-muslims, yet idolised by royals and lefties alike.
And somehow it’s those who speak out who are portrayed as bigoted, intolerant, belligerent, backwards, islamophobic, extreme.
Incredible. Almost as if there were dark forces at work to deceive the world. Clearly the devil protects his own.
I Put most of the blame on the last two generations of activist school teachers Vlad!
I have witnessed it in otherwise seemingly normal people at social gatherings. Unbelievable left-wing built-in hate from most from that profession.
I agree. Of all the institutions the Long March marched through, education was one of the more nefarious.
That’s why even a reformer like Trump has his work cut out. The poison takes many generations to work through the system.
And those institutions are all interlinked; schools, universities, government, civil service, media etc.
You can’t really reform the schools till you reform the teacher training colleges, but they can’t be reformed till the future lecturers are reformed from the schools upwards, and you need government and civil service commitment to change the education system and teachers, but that won’t happen till future leaders emerge from the education system etc etc.
Polly Toynbee In 2009, Polly Toynbee disclosed her salary as £106,000 later disclosures are a bit higher.

“The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end.
Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up.
If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud.
The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain.
You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.”
Some evidence of military activity about to start in the SoH. Dubai have switched mobile data to a different network.
If it had not been for low grade w media outfits such as the bBC this war would have been over by now. The bBC’s of this world appear to be reporting on an anti-Trump narrative not on a war that involves death. Their reporting has all the hallmarks of US media reporting on the Vietnam war, albeit a completely different war in different circumstances. It is high risk and not professional.
The war will now need to be escallated to establish who controls the SoH. Plenty to go wrong here. W media should set aside its prejudices; those prejudices threaten the lives of many people – mostly in Iran.
The Green Party under Zack has all the characteristics of a classic doomsday cult. You have a charismatic but dubious quasi religious leader. The cult is framed around an impending catastrophe scenario, a ready made one is provided by the Government and supported by the BBC and Establishment ie man made global warming. Non believers are treated as evil so members of the cult are good everyone else as wrong and bad.
Cults from the past that conform to these ideas:
Charles Manson and family, Helter Skelter etc
Jim Jones, Peoples’s Temple, Jonestown
Bagwan and the Aum Cult
Davis Koresh
Heavans Gate
Not sure I classify Polanski as charismatic. More like like deluded mentally challenged cretin who should be sectioned under the mental health act as well as most members of Starmers cabinet.

If the idiot, dictator tries to get us back in to the EU he will be out quicker that.
We voted to get out !
You may have voted for Brexit Taffman but most of the electorate didn’t. Furthermore people are allowed to change their minds and having seen what a disaster Brexit has been that’s exactly what has happened.
Do you know how polls work Bullstrode?
Usually, the one who gets the most vote wins!
The bullstrode doctrine appears to be that those who didn’t vote deserves a different form of democracy – but like the numbers who actually voted Labour last time .
It’s inevitable that the political class will one day formally rejoin the UK to the ReichEU- from a personal point of view I would be financially better off without the pound – but I have an unpopular streak of Britishness in me – which is beyond money … and which is why I am so repelled by what the blob has done to us ….
Thr referendum needed to rejoin the ReichEu will be properly fixed next time using Obama Biden methodology to ‘bake in ‘ ( ugh ) the outcome …
That assumes – of course TTK puts it in the manifesto next time to getbullstrode signed up …
Bullstrode
You have been reading far too many “Thomas the Tank” books.
Bullstrode.
I wouldn’t describe Brexit as a disaster at all but it wasn’t as good as it should have been. Due to the intransigence of the Remoaners, Starmer plus many other politicians, people like Gina Miller, Teresa May, the Establishment and the EU itself meant we could never have made the best deal. Our negotiating position was weakened by our leaders and background noise meant our positions was seriously eroded, mostly from within. What do you get when you conduct a negotiation from a transparently weak position? A bad deal.
Bullstrode
“Furthermore people are allowed to change their minds and having seen what a disaster etc…. ”
Could this be applied to the present Labour government?
The vote was once in a generation. That the bureaucratic/political establishment did not agree with the vote and have fought a rearguard action since is irrelevant – we have to live with the mess, albeit an unnecessary one and driven by a minority of the voters.
Ultimately the referendum was one of instinct and instinct said out. There is good reason for that instinct; mainland Europe’s perception of risk is military, while the UK’s preception of risk is political. Membership of the EU enhances political risk and mainland EU politicians have not grasped that concept.
The UK leaving the EU was a strategic disaster for the continent, but their response has been pathetic. Rather than analyse why we left they have indulged themselves in a bit of ‘wife beating’ to ‘learn’ the UK a lesson.
I will take great pleasure in watching the medicine not working should we rejoin within a lifetime, or some Starmer legalistic fudge. I will take even greater pleasure at watching the results of ignoring political risk. Remainers are making some very dangerous assumptions from a position of arrogance.
IMHO The bureaucratic EU will shortly, begin to crumble.
Taffman
TTK being a liar / deceiver – he’d do everything to ‘return ‘ to the reichEU without formally rejoining – until we are worn down …. But with a bit of luck he ll be replaced – and his replacement will be pre occupied justifying himself not causing a general election until one has to take place …. Imagine the scum as PM with mad ed as chancellor ….
Fedup2
Has TTK stopped any boats yet?
Here’s a Brexit related thought…. Is it remotely possible that our cuddly European neighbours were so pissed off with the Brexit outcome that they have secretly banded together to financially enable the easy flooding of uneconomic migrants across Europe and into the UK. Maybe even secretly supplying the boats, instructions and pilots etc?
Maybe that’s why the people smugglers are so hard to run to earth, there aren’t any! They are all in Brussels!
Digg – true ….
digg
That has always been my opinion.
But there is an answer?
For every illegal boat crossing the English Chanel stop every fishing boat fishing in our waters!
It would be a good adjunct for our fish industry .
This The simple question is…. Why do the immigrants not stop when they reach Germany, or France?
Answer is that these countries give them sweet FA… and point them on to the land of free housing, healthcare, pocket money, mobile phone etc. etc. etc.
Our leaders are deranged traitors!
The simple question is…. Why do the immigrants not stop when they reach Germany, or France?
Answer is that these countries give them sweet FA… and point them or probably help them on to the land of free housing, food, healthcare, pocket money, mobile phone etc. etc. etc.
Our leaders are deranged!
My simple analogy of being in the EU.
Theres a dozen of you in the pub.
Only four have any money, so you end up buying them drinks all day, then you go home because you have to work the next day, are compelled to leave money behind so they can get hammered and get a taxi home.
When you try and complain or suggest a fairer scheme, it only takes one vote to be overruled.
You just know Starmer is going to cost us billions we don’t have. He’s deluded that people approve of anything he does. He’s seen as a joke and a soft touch by Europe and rightly so

2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum – England
Leave the European Union 15,188,406 = 53.38%
Remain a member of the European Union 13,266,996 = 46.62%
That was then, this is now:
Since late July 2022, the share of people who regret Brexit in these surveys has consistently been above 50 percent. Additionally, a survey from January 2025 highlighted that most people in the UK thought that Brexit had had a mainly negative impact, especially on the cost of living and the economy.

Bullstrode – I admire your devotion to formally rejoining something the UK state has never left – UK never became fully independent – and the argument that voting intentions are different now is ok if you held a referendum – say – every 3 months .
But despite all the anti Brexit propaganda and threats a majority of those who chose to vote – voted for it …. Maybe you’ll be happier in 2030 if TTK formally returns what’s left of the UK to full Brussels control …. Personally – I’d rather become a state of the US – which is currently almost as right wing as I am ( cut welfare – NHS – size of state – cut taxes – deport millions – sort of thing )
In the real World, this specimen would be put on a flight back to his own shithole country….
In Starmer’s world he gets 3 months holiday then business and NHS salary as usual….
Crazy!

One of those men with ‘Mental issues’ again?
…. And now the weather …
evening Taff,
The police have reported that he “No longer presents a threat”. From this I assume that he must be dead, so “mental issues” shouldn’t be, er. an issue.
If he’s still alive he is still a threat, detained or not.
What have we not been told?

Here’s a tragic tale of a woke, open-border, pro-migrant Spanish woman whose life (and house) was ruined by an African illegal she put up.
It’s enough to make you weep – with laughter!
Listening to Today this morning and you’d think the problems in the Straits of Hormuz were America’s doing rather than a rogue terrorist state attacking civilian shipping and surrounding countries…you can see how the BBC approaches this from its latest effort as it informs us that Trump trying to get shipping moving again must have Iranian consent….that’s like asking car thieves if you can drive your own car.
‘Once it became clear that President Trump’s plan, dubbed “Project Freedom”, was being done without the consent of Iran, escalation was always a risk.’
Once the Allies began the invasion of France on D-Day without the consent of the Nazis escalation was always a risk.
The BBC is an Iranian propaganda mouthpiece. Shut it down.

The BBC proudly announce that Smarmer will host a Downing Street summit to address antisemitism.

Not more anti British Prometheus rubbish. The spirit of 1776 lives on. Lies and bullying. A section of the US has always been strongly anti- British. I listened all the way through to that cow in the previous post. It confirms my view that the majority of the US political past has a very warped view what the British Empire was and how it operated. Even in world war two the Yanks tried to force the end of the British Empire and to a large part succeeded. They saw it as the same way as the men who started the revolutionary war. Their thinking has not moved on. The shocking thing is that so many Brits especially in the ruling classes having gone along with it and taking a servile attitude to the US as part of the ‘managed decline’ policies common to both Toryies and Labour. I should point out that while the Left of the Labour party were very anti- American, they did not support or care about Britain.
When the Argentines attacked the Falklands the yanks were luke-warm about supporting Britain. Only one man bravely fully supported Britain and that was Casper Weinberger. Ronald Regan was not the huge support that legend has it. My source? Margaret Thatcher in her autobiography.
Trump has been the most genuinely friendly President to the UK there has been in my life time. It is a crying shame that his genuinely friendly attitude was not appreciated by Boris Johnson or Teresa May. And now we have the worst example of all the dismal Starmer. He has lost patience. I don’t blame him.
Britain needs to regain its’ past from both from the Leninist anti-Imperialist dogma purveyed in the schools and from the anti British, and very biased nationalist narrative from the USA, India and Ireland. Until it does it will never be ‘Great Again’ it will always be weak.
But like the BBC, GCHQ is anti-British pro-Invasion, anti-Trump pro-Democrat, anti-Russia pro-EU, anti-Semitic pro-Islam, and anti-Christian pro-Communist.
Trump is pro-British anti-BBC, pro-England anti-Invasion, pro-Scotland anti-rapist, pro-Wales anti-windmill, pro-Israel anti-Iran, and pro-Freedom anti-GCHQ.
Iran warns US against being ‘dragged back into quagmire’ after day of attacks in Strait of Hormuz
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1wz2ld4535t
Iran are terrorists who are close to developing a nuclear weapon which they will certainly use for their extremist Islamic terrorist mission. They are not ‘righteous underdogs’ and they don’t ‘warn’ the USA about anything like the BBC are trying to make us believe. They are terrorist scum trying to collapse the world economy by launching terrorist attacks against civilian shipping who want to legally use the straight of Hormuz.
Half the strait belongs to Oman. Not Iran. Yet they threaten it with their missiles. Oman are quiet because of fear of terrorist attack from Iran. Why does nobody mention this ?. All the stories imply it belongs to Iran.
Someone should let the BBC know so they stop making themselves complicit with yet another terrorist state.
Yasser – I’d like to know the \point ‘ when GB lost it ? The hubris …Was it the summer of 1914 ? Was it some sort of ‘moral thing ‘ when GB gave up on self interest and decided to be involved in other peoples ‘ wars ?

He’s only running away to his Euromates, so he can give away another billion of our taxes to add to the money being culled from everyone else, to pay for Ukrainian Bentleys etc.
Ian Duncan Smith has just explained that there are countless billions of Russian assets banked up in Belgium, but everyone there is s*** scared of seizing this cash, so it falls on our pathetic, cringing ‘lawyer’, posing as someone important, to ‘negotiate’ (give away) even more of our money which could pay for mending all the potholes by the end of the month! (As Andy says below)!
If the councils do indeed start changing to Reform, those counties and towns may see some results, but any ‘green’ council will no doubt encourage more holes to keep cars off the road in their manic muslim state of madness.
Fed, you deserve a medal for putting up with even a few seconds of Nick Robinson – he’s a main part of the problem in all the bBC’s far-left bias we have to endure.
I was just mulling over the same thing Fed:
‘More than half of Muslims would vote for pro-Gaza independents to stop Labour from winning, a new poll has revealed.’
‘The polling, conducted by JL Partners, shows six in 10 Muslim voters in key battleground councils are prepared to back Gaza-focused independent candidates as a means of defeating Labour.’
https://www.gbnews.com/politics/local-elections-more-than-half-muslims-vote-pro-gaza-independents-stop-labour-winning-new-poll
The BBC won’t be reporting that one of course.
But as I read the article it dawned on me that the vote of Muslims depends on one single issue : what is best for Islam. Not Islam in the UK, Islam across the world. They will ignore any and all issues about our country whilst instead voting for someone who will force support for a terrorist Muslim country thousands of miles away.
As much as I consider the options, I can see only one solution. They have been here 50 years or more and things are worse than ever. As their numbers increase, so does the weight of their vote for issues like this. But that solution involves deporting all such minded people to the Muslim countries where their loyalties lie.
Is this where ‘democracy’ as we know has failed and is no longer fit for purpose – or is it right just to let it happen knowing full well they will eventually transform our country into a shithole just like where they came from ?. There is no doubt about that now.
Fed, I wish I could point to a tipping point event and say this is when the Brits began to go downhill. Perhaps it was when they gave in to Irish nationalists in the early 1920s. It wasn’t a good deal for the Brits but they did manage to include three ports known as the treaty ports on the Irish Free state coast which were considered necessary for the Royal Navy and defence of Britain. They were on 99 year leases. Chamberlain gave them all away in 1938 and there was not much outrage that I can tell. There was a clause whereby the Brits could get them back in the event of an emergency, but a year later the request was denied by DeValera who did not consider war against Hitler met the requirements. Surprise surprise! Many British and other lives would have been saved if they’d had use of these ports. Chamberlain was a pathetic negotiator. But the rot must have set in before that. Exactly when… I’m still working on that.

He openly declares we need to be closer to the EU. There was no need for our money to be wrapped up in an EU banner, it was only done to suit Starmer and his rejoining objectives.
Apart from his betrayal of Britain the way this fund is being assembled can only reinforce the view that the Ukraine is being taken into the EU power block. It will only ensure Russia will intensify action against the Ukraine.

Dorothy, friend of Sir Keir as he paled edition
It’s fitting how headline stories about Starmer and about Iran dominate the news… neither seems to know when they’re beat and when it’s time to throw in the towel.
Our BBC sum up our twin bad losers, home and away, with their double whammy header for their online print press line-up this morning: ‘Rivals circle Starmer’ and bid to reopen Hormuz pushes region ‘to the brink’ (BBC)
For some light relief let’s flick through the press pile down to the in-the-tank for Labour tabloid Mirror.
Afterall, Sir Keir ain’t doing any campaigning personally, so it’s left to his remaining friends in the media: ‘Toxic’ Starmer kept away from local elections campaign trail… this newspaper found that Sir Keir had taken part in 11 election campaign visits in the past two months. This paled in comparison to Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, who recorded 71 visits (Telegraph)
Cue the Mirror – and it’s going to be a bit of a Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster moment: Election special… STOP HIM… At 93, former nurse Dorothy is speaking out for the first time in her life. Reform tried to close her care home, to evict her friends from the place they feel safe. They saw an easy target but these terrified pensioners fought back. And Dorothy is urging us all to do the same… “…I hope nobody votes for them.” And we visit the key battlegrounds to find out what voters really think. Full story: P2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10&11 (Mirror)
Somewhat beyond satire, I think you’ll agree.
Moving on… from Dorothy, friend of Sir Keir… (allegedly) The Times draws parallels with 2006: Open letter will demand PM’s resignation date… inspired by the putsch by Gordon Brown’s allies against Tony Blair – I guess recalling how that history went Sir Keir chose not to wander out on the campaign trail in case he bumped into some “bigoted woman”
Let’s delve into some of those juxapositions of clashing press features that taken together speak louder than when read separately.
The corporate giveaway adsheet Metro today tends to ape the Guardian, which itself tends to imitate the Harlem Voice, in its strenuous efforts to promote Black faces to the front page – for non-crime stories.
There once was a woman from north London… Singer Alison Limerick’s happy place… Property & Home (freebie Metro)
In case you were wondering: Who is Alison Limerick? The singer behind the 2025 John Lewis Christmas advert (Indy)
However: Fifth fewer properties to rent in London (Telegraph); and for good measure: Channel crossing crisis… Just one more small boat and arrivals hit.. 200,000… another 800 arrived over the weekend… Record toll is size of York… only 7,612 get deported (The Sun)
The Telegraph posits a possible antidote to the problem: Migrants housed in Green seats? That’s genius!
The Mail plump for Kemi with a law and order platitude: Tory leader says there ‘must be ‘consequences’ for shoplifting and vandalism
In further crime news – the cops are apparently desperate for some good PR headline: Cops in Maddie hope (Star); Met seek UK trial for Madeleine suspect. Police think they have sufficient evidence to force murder trial at Old Bailey (Telegraph) – What, with our courts backlog? Let’s not get into this one – suffice to say your Mr AsI true to form doubts the official media line on the story – but what do I know, I still think the Wilmslow Boy was guilty. (There’s one for the teenagers)
Despite feminism, it’s still any excuse for a front page feature starlet pin-up and the Met Gala is as good as any. Nicole Kidman gets the nod from the Times and Lauren Sanchez Bezos from the Telegraph – although the latter is less starlet and more trophy wife. Tickets cost $100,000 by the way. Get ready for all that celeb virtue signalling.
In a perhaps overly frank report the giveaway Metro observes: Celebrity boobs overtook the Met Gala and we don’t know where to look
One more juxtaposition… for the road…? I’ll drink to that

Amidst a barrage of multilingual greetings… “¡Hola!” etc., one is challenged to navigate beyond the demands to prove one is over eighteen years of age – wasn’t that taken as read by way of the phone contract?
Happily side-stepping through a veritable chicane of “Laters” and “Not Now Thanks” on the nudge nudge menu one at last (for now) avoids serving up even more of my personal data to feed the insatiable crony corporate maw. What services will one be denied in the meantime? Why confirm one is over eighteen?
Why, we wonder… they claim lest one will be unable to utilise certain (unspecified) services – what do Apple want to send me, free porno movies?
On the plus side, they seem to be ruling out the otherwise looming option for sixteen-year-olds to vote remotely on their moby.
“Liverpool ‘child asylum seekers’ found to be adults”

Twenty-four asylum seekers who claimed they were children after being sent to Liverpool were found to be adults, the city’s council has said.
The authority said another 15 asylum seekers “should have been identified as children” by the government and accommodated in London instead.
A Home Office spokesman said age-disputed cases remain “a very challenging area”.
Liverpool City Council wants to recover £657,000 for supporting the children (THEY WERE NOT CHILDREN HA HA HAH A HAH A, SO WHY SAY CHILDREN).
The authority “had to pay for an ‘age assessment’ for each one (costing £1,500 each) that concluded that 15 were children and 24 were adults”.
Starmer justi held a “Summit” on anti-Semitism in the UK on TV.
He couldn’t just give a speech, or address the nation, no he had to hold a bloody “summit” to make him more important….
There really is no end to this pompous man’s self-aggrandisement is there?
Is it just me or does, our PM sound like a Dalek ?
Summit on top of a summit on a mountain in Cobra (Cabinet Office Briefing Room A)?
Anyone have an update on the Epsom gang rape story?
Police say it never happened, but I’m afraid we know longer believe our police.
Has there not been a curious investigative journalist to track down the alleged victim to get her story? Or have the police terrified her into lifelong silence?
Anyone?
Implement Turkish law in the UK to end rapes!
“Draft law could see release of men jailed for child abuse if they marry their victim”

Turkey’s ruling party has begun a second attempt at introducing a law to grant rapists amnesty as long as they marry their victim, four years after a similar bill sparked outrage at home and internationally.
