If I am sick to death about hearing about
one set of public service workers threatening to
go on strike . Or going on strike . It is London Tube train
drivers !!
I have just read on line that a 64 year old London bus
driver is fighting for his life after being attacked on a
bridge in London. Driving a bus in London is not easy. Where cyclists
take no notice of red traffic lights. Far too many car drivers are
more interested in their phones than the road ahead.
And bus drivers earn far less than tube train drivers on their
4 days a week job. Where a CROW with the intelligence
of a 71/2 year old child and with a pouch of bird seed in the
drivers cabin. Could be taught to press a single button in half
an hour. On trains which could be and should be fully automatic!!
Foscari – totally agree – being a passenger on a Londonistan bus can be ‘challenging ‘ enough but driving one every day ? No way .
Im back in uk Wednesday so if the tube strike was still on it would also have been ‘challenging ‘ … so cancelling it 48 hours before shows what they think of punters who have planned for ‘no tube ‘’..
BTW – the third world style of driving they use – brake – accelerate – is – i think – a form of revenge …
Starmers Defra has classified the English countryside as a “white environment” with lots of white tourists, white farmers and white sheep.
Defra will therefore force black and brown skinned people to visit the countryside as tourists and build more hotels for illegal immigrants. Farmers will be forced to breed more black sheep, the Church of England will be forced to convert Churches into Mosques, and Defra will declare ‘Inner City Areas’ Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Welsh people and Dogs will be banned from the Black Mountains after decolonisation.
I was away from home last weekend and watched
the second half of the Cup Final from my hotel bedroom’s
television. It was a bit frustrating because everything
the commentator said and the pundits had subtitles and
I couldn’t get rid of them.
At sometime at think it must of been at half time. We heard
Mark Chapman telling us that we need to have a TV license
to watch the TV. Alan Shearer then asked Chapman
facetiously if he had a TV license. I may of heard it wrong. But
I thought I heard Chapman say , he leaves it to somebody else.
It got me thinking. And maybe somebody in the know
could help.
Do BBC employees have to pay for a TV license?
Flotsam – im determined not to waste attention on that bi election – but it will be a real pity if the ‘right ‘ vote is split between the dead blues – reform – Rupert Lowe party – thus allowing the reds in … the greens are Far too lundun for those good sensible voters ….
I’d like to know the timeline – the red who gave up his seat ( care about the voters ?) formally finished today I understand so it’s big bucks for him … which means – I guess – is a bi election in maybe 8 weeks …?
DT has footage of a steaming ? In JD sports ilford – up thd road from me …. I think it is streeting’ s constituency but what would he care ? The green Muslims will win it next time – it’s very third world now ….
If it happens that Restore do have a candidate in the by election and this candidate takes enough Reform votes to let Burnham in I think it could be the end for Restore.
While I agree with Lowe’s general manifesto he is making a huge mistake standing a candidate in this by election.
People will blame him for Burnham (and all the decisions he will be making as PM)
They will see that a vote for Restore can give Labour the next election because it will have happened already letting Burnham in. This will be constantly used as a warning pre the next GE and will lose him a massive number of votes.
If Rupert cannot see this then his judgement is flawed.
He must withdraw his candidate.
This is from somebody who wants to vote Restore when the time is right.
EG totally agree – people on the Right must be pragmatic – personally I prefer Rupert Lowe to Farage – but we cannot make the mistake we were forced to make in 2024 to send the dead blues a message . The blues shouid stand down too – but they won’t because the coloured girls’ ego is more important than the country …
I watched this almost live . I really felt for this lady . Plod was in full bully mode . If you stood back – took a breath – as Labour types say at the moment – and thought this was happening in soviet Eastern Europe – you’d be in the right place .
It’s deeply alarming that these plod do what they do …,not so far from removing dissenters … and concentrating them in places where they – we – can be controlled … and sent for a shower …
Two people…one description…..one man arrested…no description…one man being hunted…instant description…
‘A man has been arrested and police are hunting another suspect after reports two teenage girls were raped on a beach in Great Yarmouth….He is described as white, in his 30s or 40s, with short dark hair and dark facial hair. ‘
Pretty sure they could describe the person arrested no?
And just how ‘white’ is ‘white’? Dark hair and beard….North African…Syrian….etc……maybe not as white as the BBC/police would like you to believe.
Pretty quick once again to get that ‘white’ out there unlike when it’s same crime but by a non-white.
Dorset Police pushing fake news. This vile rapist is not ‘from Middlesex’. He is a Syrian asylum seeker who arrived in Britain in 2023. Why are our police forces lying to us? https://t.co/4XHZFUu4cp

It’s after midnight. I’m at a wedding party in a remote village in northern Afghanistan.
There is no sign of the bride or groom, or any women, only men. Some of them are armed, some of them are taking drugs.
Almost everyone’s attention is focused on a 15-year-old boy. He’s dancing for the crowd in a long and shiny woman’s dress, his face covered by a red scarf.
He is wearing fake breasts and bells around his ankles. Someone offers him some US dollars and he grabs them with his teeth.
This is an ancient tradition. People call it bachabaze which literally means “playing with boys”.
In-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror is treading a fine line, keeping it neutral… PM rejects call to set departure timetable and is ‘up for the fight’ – meanwhile: But Burnham says he’ll lead Labour change… as he rules out Brexit re-run (Mirror)
He’s going with the ‘change’ thing so beloved of our politicians – you could have knocked me down with a feather – I blame Barack Obama.
Burnham: Labour must change to regain trust (Guardian)
Burnham seeks to calm markets by committing to fiscal rules… sticking to the government’s existing borrowing limits (BBC); …now he says he’ll stick with Reeves’ rules, meaning tax hikes – scoffs the Mail
No change there then.
So where’s your ‘change’ then, Andy?
Burnham’s prescription to fix Britain sounds about as likely to be efficacious as this from the left leaning i paper: The BBC plan to cut costs and avoid scandal
While Starmer says he won’t set a timetable: Tube strike cancelled at last minute (giveaway Metro) – now we can’t even rely on our rail strikes…
HS2 will cost more than Nasa’s Artemis Moon mission (i paper)
Our finance focused FT diagnoses: UK finances have been Italianised… – well, Starmer did promise to bring us closer in line with Europe. He probably meant the formerly economic powerhouse that was Germany, not the Med basket cases.
Our BBC suddenly goes glass half-full: Is there a late spring heatwave on the way? – don’t get too optimistic – don’t run away with the silly old notion this is Spring followed by Summer – this is all just part of the regime’s climate alarmism agenda: A heatwave in the UK is defined by the Met Office as at least three consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures exceeding a county-specific threshold, reflecting unusually hot weather for the time of year. (BBC) – I know you’re super desperate to get the word ‘heatwave’ into a headline with some spurious scientific official sanction – but can’t you just tell us if we can put the washing out or whether we need to pack a brolly?
Here comes the ‘science’ bit, concentrate: The heatwave threshold temperature varies across the UK. In Greater London it is 28 Celsius whereas in Northern Ireland it is 25 Celsius. It is possible that a few places could meet the heatwave definition during Friday, Saturday and Sunday. At the moment, counties like Herefordshire and Worcestershire look most likely… The details over the weekend are still uncertain. (BBC) – so if the climate is a science – apparently we haven’t cracked it yet.
Over to the i paper impersonating Spare Rib for our daily dose of feminism: Strength training for women… – nothing wrong with that, ladies – but it wouldn’t be our daily feminism if there wasn’t a diss against the blokes: (and their superpower over men) (i paper) – superpower over men… formerly known as sex?
Sisters are doing it for themselves: The divorce gap-year… solo trip made me realise my marriage was over (i paper)
Check out Paul Joseph Watson on YouTube for regular cautionary tales of female solo tourism in certain parts of the world – it’s a bit of recurring a theme of his.
Female Tourist Gets Culturally Enriched… solo female traveler being sexually harassed by a taxi driver in Egypt.; This happened to a tourist from New Zealand visiting Sri Lanka on her own.; Watson shares an example of a female tourist who, within moments of stepping onto the street in India, was harassed by someone who physically assaulted her.
While David Beckham gets to do some gardening…
All the usual suspects are playing keepy uppy with the lastest barrage Farage gambit: Farage house purchase under fresh scrutiny (Guardian); Farage facing new questions over home purchase funding (BBC); Nigel Farage’s accounts challenge his claim on how he paid for £1.4m house;
Bushtucker denial… – quips the FT: …Farage’s accounts challenge claims he paid for £1.4mn house with TV fee – surely the FT of all outlets will understand cash is fungible..?
To be fair, the corporate globalist FT will insist how workers the world over are fungible – in other words, never mind the culture, feel the cheap labour.
Thd bodybags Burnham fan club in full flow – our Justin has decided he is the PM in waiting – talking to James Jim O’Neil and another fan about Andy’s fiscal plans – which they don’t explain but love – no mention of the resultant tax rises as borrowing goes even more skyward ….
Effusive support for a mesningless plod ‘team ‘ to investigate vane shops and barbers which launder drug Money – well the home office – being full of the relatives of vape shop types are really gonna make that work … just like border control, ….
Every interview, Labour say Andy Burnham has been a fantastic Mayor – this goes unchallenged.
1. Policing Oversight and Special Measures Failure to Record Crimes: In December 2020, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) was placed into special measures by inspectors after it was revealed the force failed to record an estimated 80,000 crimes in a single year, severely damaging public trust under Burnham’s ultimate accountability.
Grooming Gang Inquiry Backlash: Despite commissioning reviews into historic child sexual exploitation, Burnham has faced severe criticism from high-profile whistleblowers, including former detective Maggie Oliver. Critics argue he lacked the courage to fully address the final portions of assurance reviews concerning ongoing abuse, leading independent reviewers to resign after allegedly being blocked from essential documents.
2. Housing and Homelessness Pledges Unmet Homelessness Targets: Upon taking office, Burnham famously pledged to eradicate rough sleeping in Greater Manchester. Political opponents note that despite significant spending, rough sleeping remains a highly visible and unresolved crisis across the region.The “10 Council Homes” Discrepancy: Following his re-election in 2024, Burnham promised to construct at least 10,000 council homes. However, reports highlighted that during the first year of this initiative, only 10 total units had actually been built.Developer Controversy: Over half of the funding from the Greater Manchester Housing Investment Loans Fund was distributed to a single prominent property developer. This led to criticism that the resulting high-rise luxury skyscrapers pricing out average Mancunians, with only a tiny fraction of affordable units completed.3. Financial Costs of Delayed SchemesThe Clean Air Zone (CAZ) Backlash: Burnham oversaw the creation of a massive, 493-square-mile Clean Air Zone charging scheme. Following intense public and business backlash over the planned daily charges, the scheme was shelved and put under prolonged review. Opponents state this administrative U-turn cost taxpayers well over £100 million on infrastructure, such as road signs, that went unused.Spatial Framework Delays: His objections over green-belt land use caused years of delays and friction during negotiations for the city-region’s joint development strategy, ultimately leading Stockport Council to pull out of the agreement entirely in 2020.4. Healthcare Infrastructure StrainsNHS Special Measures: While the devolution of a £6 billion health and social care budget to Greater Manchester was a landmark policy, NHS Greater Manchester was placed into “enforcement undertakings” (effectively special measures) due to a massive financial deficit and poor quality of care. Though governance interventions ended, strict financial oversight mechanisms remain ongoing.5. Accusations of “Westminster Maneuvering”Stepping Stone Criticisms: Local and national critics frequently accuse Burnham of using the Manchester mayoralty as a personal “stepping stone” to launch a return to national politics. His recent maneuvering to contest parliamentary seats, such as attempting to run in the Gorton and Denton by-election, triggered anger from constituents who felt he was willing to abandon his mayoral commitments to pursue the national Labour leadership.AI responses may include mistakes.

Or just use the BBC report and stop the boats? HA HAH AH AHAH A! Saving £30 million of tax payers money.
The BBC reports that The Nations crack crime squad is going to swing into action after the BBC discovered “shops” were selling tickets to break into the Country illegally.
So good to know our Nations crime units are so poised ready to act!
While they are at it maybe they could check how so many barbers and vape shops make a living while being empty most of the time and maybe check for illegal goods stashed under the counters…

I condemn the deadly attack on a mosque in San Diego. My thoughts are with those affected.
I know many Muslims in the UK will be shaken by this, worried about their safety when going about their lives and attending mosque, and what it says about the times we’re living in. I understand those fears.
Violence like this does not happen in a vacuum. It grows in an environment where division and anti-Muslim hostility are normalised.
That is intolerable. We must all come together against it.

Sometimes I still get astounded at the hypocrisy and blatant lies (usually by omission) which the BBC will publish to push their own political ideology agenda.
This is yet more ‘Muslim victim’ porn where they talk about the hardships people are living under but avoid telling us why like the plague. It’s chock full of ‘quotes’ from said victims – which has obviously been rewritten by the BBC to make the best use of the English language and ensure it all stays politically on-track.
Just look at how low they are stooping:
‘Abdul tells us he is willing to sell his girls for marriage, or for domestic work. “If I sell one daughter, I could feed the rest of my children for at least four years,” he says.
He hugs Rohila, kissing her as he cries. “It breaks my heart, but it’s the only way.”‘
Then:
‘Saeed Ahmad tells us he has already been forced to sell his five-year-old daughter, Shaiqa, after she got appendicitis and a cyst in her liver.’
Of course the BBC don’t go near telling us who he sold her to and what the ‘relatives’ he sold her to will do with her. Because those doing it are Muslims.
When they do pull back the empathy slightly, they actually try to infer it’s all the Americans fault:
‘The Taliban government, which seized power in 2021, also places blame at the door of Afghanistan’s previous administration – forced out as foreign forces withdrew from the country.’
‘”After the end of the invasion, we inherited poverty, hardship, unemployment and other problems.”‘
They make it sound like the Taliban have saved the country from the evil aggressors. Once again they are giving full credibility to statements by Muslim terrorists without telling us they are terrorists.
The lies by omission throughout this article are stupendous – even by the BBC’s standards.
‘The US – once the top donor to Afghanistan – cut nearly all aid to the country last year. Many other key donors have also significantly reduced contributions, including the UK. Current UN figures show that the aid received so far this year is 70% lower than in 2025.’
And nowhere in this article do they mention this:
‘the Taliban, which currently governs the country, is classified as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States. The Taliban’s rule has been marked by violence and repression, raising concerns about terrorism and human rights violations.’
Perhaps that is why nobody will give them money BBC.
And then they go on to tell us how all the usual donors and humanitarian groups are not helping. They blame it on ‘the Taliban’s own policies, particularly its restrictions against women, are also a key reason why donors are turning away.’
And how are they different to Hamas BBC ?.
The REAL reason none of these Leftist-infested activist groups – including the BBC – are not interested in the suffering of the Afghan people is that they cannot use them as weapons against whites and Jews. The oppressors’ are Muslims so they just keep quiet about it. They don’t give a shit about anyone suffering if they can’t use it against someone they hate.
I don’t have the words to express how much the hypocrisy and double-standards of the Left disgust me.
A lengthy article all about a single rape case and an innocent man found guilty until they caught the real villain.
Isn’t it amazing how interested in a rape case the BBC suddenly are when all the men involved are white ?. We even get pictures of both to drive it home.
Of course these misandrist hypocrites will still demand that more men are found guilty when accused of rape. Leading to police withholding and destroying evidence because of the pressure they are under to get the numbers up.
We live in a dirty society no better than some third world shithole now if you scrape through the veneer. We are just better at making sure the people who talk about it are silenced – usually by utterly ruining their reputation as the BBC and the Left have done to many right-wing people now using their labels and infestation of the MSM.
Some really horrid people have been telling all sorts of lies about that lovely “Andy” Burnham.
They talk about all his failings when he had national power, such as his very modest, some would say awful, period as health secretary and his curious silence regarding grooming gangs.
But…this man has vision, anybody who wants a return to the stagnating mess of the E U , plus the ability to recognise all our current problems are …guess who……Margaret Thatchers’ fault, must surely have vision, if not visions.
Vote vision, vote Andy, vote often ,l fear.
We will hear a lot about Andy because the BBC love him so very much.

“I have been conducting an interesting correspondence with both Tony Blair’s office and the House of Commons commission which is currently dealing with MPs expenses.
This follows my posting re. the shredding of Tony Blair’s expenses. A number of UK news outlets – the Times, Telegraph and Daily Mail among them – “revealed” that Blair’s expenses had been shredded AFTER a High Court order that asked they be produced.
The House of Commons commission has even been quoted as apologising for a “genuine mistake”. When I called them on Wednesday they were still apologising and repeating the account that that they had indeed been shredded in a “genuine mistake”.
However I was called back several hours later to be told they had NOT been shredded.”
HS2 is (at the moment but rising) costing more than the NASA Artemis moon mission.
Our roads/motorways are costing 3 times more than in France yet their roads are better.
‘Our’ NHS is as costly as (or more) than those on the Continent who perform far better.
Our pension system is one of the worst in Europe.
The list goes on.
My question is, where does all the money go for our crap services.
How is HS2 so expensive and where do the £billions go.
Is there a few fabulously rich men controlling all these services who are being paid enormous sums for doing a rubbish job.
Are our workers paid twice or three times the wages of French and German workers.
If our ‘bosses’ and those making the decisions are so bad at their jobs why can’t we get the people who built the French or German railways to come in and do the same for us.
Same with the rest of the overpriced projects like those mentioned above.
Will Reform look at these money pits to find out where all the money is disappearing to and will they name names of those failing (and/or fiddling)
None of the other Parties will, probably because they are all involved (old boys network etc)
Restore probably would but they are trying to self destruct at this moment in time.
Simply put, our services are the most expensive and the worst performing. There’s some serious corruption going on somewhere.
Over 300 quango bosses paid more than the prime minister https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c175y5ygyy5o
John O’Connell, chief executive of the TPA, said there should be more scrutiny of the hundreds of “quangocrats” taking home “massive pay packets” with minimal democratic oversight.
In all, 315 quango chief executives received a higher salary, according to the TPA, with the top three being Channel 4’s on £619,000, the chief executive of HS2 on £618,195, and head of Network Rail on £588,000.
Here is an example where some money is wasted. EWR has completed the stretch of rail between Bicester and Bletchley in Oct 2024. However the line is still not open for passenger trains. This is due to a union dispute over driver-only trains. So far they have recruited train drivers and station staff. AI calculated the total cost to employ these staff per year at £6.5M/year. It is coming up to two years since the line opened in 2024.
Final Cost Conclusion
The total cost to fully employ the 94 Chiltern Railways personnel on the Bicester to Bletchley line—fully factoring in gross wages, employer national insurance, defined benefit rail pensions, and specialized route and traction training—amounts to £6,464,060 per year.

San Diego Islamic Center Attack

I think the EU and Labour will put their sharpest lawyers to make a treaty that will be almost or totally impossible for a subsequent government to repeal. The only way out then would be violent. Extremely violent and we don’t want that.

Funny the BBC mention eggs, let’s talk eggs … “This ancient law of politics states that a country without borders is like an egg without a shell. What we’re observing in politics today is a strange phenomenon. I’d like to quote former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who shared the following thought with us: In Europe we are witnessing a very rare historical event, in which a region is not defending its external borders, but has instead opened them. The like of this has not happened in several thousand years.” – Viktor Orbán, 16 September 2017, Budapest
BBC favourite “Andy” Burnham has been selected as a candidate to run in the Makerfield pantomime. I mean by election.
I do hope the BBC will provide details of how and when all those important and detailed Labour party selection rules were changed.
It’s not long ago that a whole raft of rules prevented Andys selection as the failed Gorton by election candidate.
Time for professional northerner Chris” aren’t I witty” Mason to bore us all with the details. Hopefully whilst in the street ,in the dark, outside No 10.( I sometimes wonder if the BBC have studios any more).
What kind of pathetic state is the Labour

The British Bullying Corporation: ‘The BBC’s problem isn’t bullying, it’s ideology – climate, trans and the rest – and the Establishment that opened the doors to it’ (Ben Pile writing in today’s The Climate Skeptic)

“We are, after all, still in a moment characterised by confusion about ‘what is a woman?’, one that apparently required an institutional process – the intervention of the Supreme Court – to establish a fact such that the fact could begin to prevail through the institutions”.

“Former head of political programmes at the BBC Rob Burley discusses the broadcaster’s “commitment to impartiality undermined by transgender ideology, a blind commitment to diversity and inclusion schemes, and a culture of intolerance”. A large part of this discussion involves an interview with former director of BBC News Fran Unsworth, who left her post four years ago. “She’s still raw from the experience of doing something she loved in an environment she began to hate,” explains Burley. “It was bullying,” says Unsworth. “There was lots and lots of bullying going on about all sorts of things: people didn’t want to hear from certain points of view; they’d ‘no platform’ them; all that safe-spaces shit.” https://unherd.com/2026/05/inside-the-capture-of-the-bbc/

If I am sick to death about hearing about
one set of public service workers threatening to
go on strike . Or going on strike . It is London Tube train
drivers !!
I have just read on line that a 64 year old London bus
driver is fighting for his life after being attacked on a
bridge in London. Driving a bus in London is not easy. Where cyclists
take no notice of red traffic lights. Far too many car drivers are
more interested in their phones than the road ahead.
And bus drivers earn far less than tube train drivers on their
4 days a week job. Where a CROW with the intelligence
of a 71/2 year old child and with a pouch of bird seed in the
drivers cabin. Could be taught to press a single button in half
an hour. On trains which could be and should be fully automatic!!
Foscari – totally agree – being a passenger on a Londonistan bus can be ‘challenging ‘ enough but driving one every day ? No way .
Im back in uk Wednesday so if the tube strike was still on it would also have been ‘challenging ‘ … so cancelling it 48 hours before shows what they think of punters who have planned for ‘no tube ‘’..
BTW – the third world style of driving they use – brake – accelerate – is – i think – a form of revenge …
Starmers Defra has classified the English countryside as a “white environment” with lots of white tourists, white farmers and white sheep.
Defra will therefore force black and brown skinned people to visit the countryside as tourists and build more hotels for illegal immigrants. Farmers will be forced to breed more black sheep, the Church of England will be forced to convert Churches into Mosques, and Defra will declare ‘Inner City Areas’ Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Welsh people and Dogs will be banned from the Black Mountains after decolonisation.
However, Defra promises to fund an electrified fence for all property belonging to white left-wing upper-class civil servants and politicians: https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/the-last-refuges-elite-hubris-and-the-desecration-of-britains-countryside
I was away from home last weekend and watched
the second half of the Cup Final from my hotel bedroom’s
television. It was a bit frustrating because everything
the commentator said and the pundits had subtitles and
I couldn’t get rid of them.
At sometime at think it must of been at half time. We heard
Mark Chapman telling us that we need to have a TV license
to watch the TV. Alan Shearer then asked Chapman
facetiously if he had a TV license. I may of heard it wrong. But
I thought I heard Chapman say , he leaves it to somebody else.
It got me thinking. And maybe somebody in the know
could help.
Do BBC employees have to pay for a TV license?
The Makerfield By-Election is surely a lose lose election for Starmer I suggest:
If Burnham wins, Starmer will have his replacement in Parliament.
If Burnham loses, hopefully by Reform, the blame will be nailed on Starmer and his Government opening the door for Streeting or others.
Flotsam – im determined not to waste attention on that bi election – but it will be a real pity if the ‘right ‘ vote is split between the dead blues – reform – Rupert Lowe party – thus allowing the reds in … the greens are Far too lundun for those good sensible voters ….
I’d like to know the timeline – the red who gave up his seat ( care about the voters ?) formally finished today I understand so it’s big bucks for him … which means – I guess – is a bi election in maybe 8 weeks …?

If it happens that Restore do have a candidate in the by election and this candidate takes enough Reform votes to let Burnham in I think it could be the end for Restore.
While I agree with Lowe’s general manifesto he is making a huge mistake standing a candidate in this by election.
People will blame him for Burnham (and all the decisions he will be making as PM)
They will see that a vote for Restore can give Labour the next election because it will have happened already letting Burnham in. This will be constantly used as a warning pre the next GE and will lose him a massive number of votes.
If Rupert cannot see this then his judgement is flawed.
He must withdraw his candidate.
This is from somebody who wants to vote Restore when the time is right.
EG totally agree – people on the Right must be pragmatic – personally I prefer Rupert Lowe to Farage – but we cannot make the mistake we were forced to make in 2024 to send the dead blues a message . The blues shouid stand down too – but they won’t because the coloured girls’ ego is more important than the country …

Pretty sure they could describe the person arrested no?
And just how ‘white’ is ‘white’? Dark hair and beard….North African…Syrian….etc……maybe not as white as the BBC/police would like you to believe.
Pretty quick once again to get that ‘white’ out there unlike when it’s same crime but by a non-white.

“The sexually abused dancing boys of Afghanistan”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-11217772
It’s after midnight. I’m at a wedding party in a remote village in northern Afghanistan.
There is no sign of the bride or groom, or any women, only men. Some of them are armed, some of them are taking drugs.
Almost everyone’s attention is focused on a 15-year-old boy. He’s dancing for the crowd in a long and shiny woman’s dress, his face covered by a red scarf.
He is wearing fake breasts and bells around his ankles. Someone offers him some US dollars and he grabs them with his teeth.
This is an ancient tradition. People call it bachabaze which literally means “playing with boys”.
ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL AND MUST BE TOLERATED

In-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror is treading a fine line, keeping it neutral… PM rejects call to set departure timetable and is ‘up for the fight’ – meanwhile: But Burnham says he’ll lead Labour change… as he rules out Brexit re-run (Mirror)

Burnham: Labour must change to regain trust (Guardian)
Burnham seeks to calm markets by committing to fiscal rules… sticking to the government’s existing borrowing limits (BBC); …now he says he’ll stick with Reeves’ rules, meaning tax hikes – scoffs the Mail

Our BBC suddenly goes glass half-full: Is there a late spring heatwave on the way? – don’t get too optimistic – don’t run away with the silly old notion this is Spring followed by Summer – this is all just part of the regime’s climate alarmism agenda: A heatwave in the UK is defined by the Met Office as at least three consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures exceeding a county-specific threshold, reflecting unusually hot weather for the time of year. (BBC) – I know you’re super desperate to get the word ‘heatwave’ into a headline with some spurious scientific official sanction – but can’t you just tell us if we can put the washing out or whether we need to pack a brolly?
Here comes the ‘science’ bit, concentrate: The heatwave threshold temperature varies across the UK. In Greater London it is 28 Celsius whereas in Northern Ireland it is 25 Celsius. It is possible that a few places could meet the heatwave definition during Friday, Saturday and Sunday. At the moment, counties like Herefordshire and Worcestershire look most likely… The details over the weekend are still uncertain.

Every interview, Labour say Andy Burnham has been a fantastic Mayor – this goes unchallenged.
1. Policing Oversight and Special Measures Failure to Record Crimes: In December 2020, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) was placed into special measures by inspectors after it was revealed the force failed to record an estimated 80,000 crimes in a single year, severely damaging public trust under Burnham’s ultimate accountability.
Grooming Gang Inquiry Backlash: Despite commissioning reviews into historic child sexual exploitation, Burnham has faced severe criticism from high-profile whistleblowers, including former detective Maggie Oliver. Critics argue he lacked the courage to fully address the final portions of assurance reviews concerning ongoing abuse, leading independent reviewers to resign after allegedly being blocked from essential documents.
2. Housing and Homelessness Pledges Unmet Homelessness Targets: Upon taking office, Burnham famously pledged to eradicate rough sleeping in Greater Manchester. Political opponents note that despite significant spending, rough sleeping remains a highly visible and unresolved crisis across the region.The “10 Council Homes” Discrepancy: Following his re-election in 2024, Burnham promised to construct at least 10,000 council homes. However, reports highlighted that during the first year of this initiative, only 10 total units had actually been built.Developer Controversy: Over half of the funding from the Greater Manchester Housing Investment Loans Fund was distributed to a single prominent property developer. This led to criticism that the resulting high-rise luxury skyscrapers pricing out average Mancunians, with only a tiny fraction of affordable units completed.3. Financial Costs of Delayed SchemesThe Clean Air Zone (CAZ) Backlash: Burnham oversaw the creation of a massive, 493-square-mile Clean Air Zone charging scheme. Following intense public and business backlash over the planned daily charges, the scheme was shelved and put under prolonged review. Opponents state this administrative U-turn cost taxpayers well over £100 million on infrastructure, such as road signs, that went unused.Spatial Framework Delays: His objections over green-belt land use caused years of delays and friction during negotiations for the city-region’s joint development strategy, ultimately leading Stockport Council to pull out of the agreement entirely in 2020.4. Healthcare Infrastructure StrainsNHS Special Measures: While the devolution of a £6 billion health and social care budget to Greater Manchester was a landmark policy, NHS Greater Manchester was placed into “enforcement undertakings” (effectively special measures) due to a massive financial deficit and poor quality of care. Though governance interventions ended, strict financial oversight mechanisms remain ongoing.5. Accusations of “Westminster Maneuvering”Stepping Stone Criticisms: Local and national critics frequently accuse Burnham of using the Manchester mayoralty as a personal “stepping stone” to launch a return to national politics. His recent maneuvering to contest parliamentary seats, such as attempting to run in the Gorton and Denton by-election, triggered anger from constituents who felt he was willing to abandon his mayoral commitments to pursue the national Labour leadership.AI responses may include mistakes.

I know many Muslims in the UK will be shaken by this, worried about their safety when going about their lives and attending mosque, and what it says about the times we’re living in. I understand those fears.
Violence like this does not happen in a vacuum. It grows in an environment where division and anti-Muslim hostility are normalised.
That is intolerable. We must all come together against it.

Selling children to survive: Afghan fathers forced to make impossible choices
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0q25dwj807o
Sometimes I still get astounded at the hypocrisy and blatant lies (usually by omission) which the BBC will publish to push their own political ideology agenda.
This is yet more ‘Muslim victim’ porn where they talk about the hardships people are living under but avoid telling us why like the plague. It’s chock full of ‘quotes’ from said victims – which has obviously been rewritten by the BBC to make the best use of the English language and ensure it all stays politically on-track.
Just look at how low they are stooping:
‘Abdul tells us he is willing to sell his girls for marriage, or for domestic work. “If I sell one daughter, I could feed the rest of my children for at least four years,” he says.
He hugs Rohila, kissing her as he cries. “It breaks my heart, but it’s the only way.”‘
Then:
‘Saeed Ahmad tells us he has already been forced to sell his five-year-old daughter, Shaiqa, after she got appendicitis and a cyst in her liver.’
Of course the BBC don’t go near telling us who he sold her to and what the ‘relatives’ he sold her to will do with her. Because those doing it are Muslims.
When they do pull back the empathy slightly, they actually try to infer it’s all the Americans fault:
‘The Taliban government, which seized power in 2021, also places blame at the door of Afghanistan’s previous administration – forced out as foreign forces withdrew from the country.’
‘”After the end of the invasion, we inherited poverty, hardship, unemployment and other problems.”‘
They make it sound like the Taliban have saved the country from the evil aggressors. Once again they are giving full credibility to statements by Muslim terrorists without telling us they are terrorists.
The lies by omission throughout this article are stupendous – even by the BBC’s standards.
‘The US – once the top donor to Afghanistan – cut nearly all aid to the country last year. Many other key donors have also significantly reduced contributions, including the UK. Current UN figures show that the aid received so far this year is 70% lower than in 2025.’
And nowhere in this article do they mention this:
‘the Taliban, which currently governs the country, is classified as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States. The Taliban’s rule has been marked by violence and repression, raising concerns about terrorism and human rights violations.’
Perhaps that is why nobody will give them money BBC.
And then they go on to tell us how all the usual donors and humanitarian groups are not helping. They blame it on ‘the Taliban’s own policies, particularly its restrictions against women, are also a key reason why donors are turning away.’
And how are they different to Hamas BBC ?.
The REAL reason none of these Leftist-infested activist groups – including the BBC – are not interested in the suffering of the Afghan people is that they cannot use them as weapons against whites and Jews. The oppressors’ are Muslims so they just keep quiet about it. They don’t give a shit about anyone suffering if they can’t use it against someone they hate.
I don’t have the words to express how much the hypocrisy and double-standards of the Left disgust me.

Isn’t it amazing how interested in a rape case the BBC suddenly are when all the men involved are white ?. We even get pictures of both to drive it home.
Of course these misandrist hypocrites will still demand that more men are found guilty when accused of rape. Leading to police withholding and destroying evidence because of the pressure they are under to get the numbers up.
We live in a dirty society no better than some third world shithole now if you scrape through the veneer. We are just better at making sure the people who talk about it are silenced – usually by utterly ruining their reputation as the BBC and the Left have done to many right-wing people now using their labels and infestation of the MSM.
OUR SAVIOUR COMETH……
Some really horrid people have been telling all sorts of lies about that lovely “Andy” Burnham.
They talk about all his failings when he had national power, such as his very modest, some would say awful, period as health secretary and his curious silence regarding grooming gangs.
But…this man has vision, anybody who wants a return to the stagnating mess of the E U , plus the ability to recognise all our current problems are …guess who……Margaret Thatchers’ fault, must surely have vision, if not visions.
Vote vision, vote Andy, vote often ,l fear.
We will hear a lot about Andy because the BBC love him so very much.

BBC in its’ happy place – plod is sending files to the cps over the sarf lundun tower block fire – they had that £ Michael £ Mansfield £ on to talk about the coming kangaroo courts using the ‘full force of the Hermer law ‘ ….. I bet they have special courts with TTK judges to see ‘justice is done ‘… let’s hope if they still have juries it ain’t the Manchester airport one – day 6? Of jury deliberation = second ? Mistrial …. They’ll get off …
“On Friday, the BBC weighed in with a BBC Verify analysis of the video. This was mostly a description of the actions of the police, specifically the kicking, hitting, pushing and use of pepper spray. The reporter, Richard Irvine-Brown, stated the BBC had “not been able to find footage that shows what led up to the incident” — which was unfortunate, because this turned out to be of crucial importance.”

“I have been conducting an interesting correspondence with both Tony Blair’s office and the House of Commons commission which is currently dealing with MPs expenses.
This follows my posting re. the shredding of Tony Blair’s expenses. A number of UK news outlets – the Times, Telegraph and Daily Mail among them – “revealed” that Blair’s expenses had been shredded AFTER a High Court order that asked they be produced.
The House of Commons commission has even been quoted as apologising for a “genuine mistake”. When I called them on Wednesday they were still apologising and repeating the account that that they had indeed been shredded in a “genuine mistake”.
However I was called back several hours later to be told they had NOT been shredded.”

Burnham Wins Labour Makerfield Selection as Only Shortlisted Candidate

HS2 is (at the moment but rising) costing more than the NASA Artemis moon mission.
Our roads/motorways are costing 3 times more than in France yet their roads are better.
‘Our’ NHS is as costly as (or more) than those on the Continent who perform far better.
Our pension system is one of the worst in Europe.
The list goes on.
My question is, where does all the money go for our crap services.
How is HS2 so expensive and where do the £billions go.
Is there a few fabulously rich men controlling all these services who are being paid enormous sums for doing a rubbish job.
Are our workers paid twice or three times the wages of French and German workers.
If our ‘bosses’ and those making the decisions are so bad at their jobs why can’t we get the people who built the French or German railways to come in and do the same for us.
Same with the rest of the overpriced projects like those mentioned above.
Will Reform look at these money pits to find out where all the money is disappearing to and will they name names of those failing (and/or fiddling)
None of the other Parties will, probably because they are all involved (old boys network etc)
Restore probably would but they are trying to self destruct at this moment in time.
Simply put, our services are the most expensive and the worst performing. There’s some serious corruption going on somewhere.
Over 300 quango bosses paid more than the prime minister

John O’Connell, chief executive of the TPA, said there should be more scrutiny of the hundreds of “quangocrats” taking home “massive pay packets” with minimal democratic oversight.
In all, 315 quango chief executives received a higher salary, according to the TPA, with the top three being Channel 4’s on £619,000, the chief executive of HS2 on £618,195, and head of Network Rail on £588,000.

HS2 could cost up to £102.7bn and may not open until 2039, transport secretary says

Here is an example where some money is wasted. EWR has completed the stretch of rail between Bicester and Bletchley in Oct 2024. However the line is still not open for passenger trains. This is due to a union dispute over driver-only trains. So far they have recruited train drivers and station staff. AI calculated the total cost to employ these staff per year at £6.5M/year. It is coming up to two years since the line opened in 2024.
Final Cost Conclusion
The total cost to fully employ the 94 Chiltern Railways personnel on the Bicester to Bletchley line—fully factoring in gross wages, employer national insurance, defined benefit rail pensions, and specialized route and traction training—amounts to £6,464,060 per year.

Funny the BBC mention eggs, let’s talk eggs … “This ancient law of politics states that a country without borders is like an egg without a shell. What we’re observing in politics today is a strange phenomenon. I’d like to quote former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who shared the following thought with us: In Europe we are witnessing a very rare historical event, in which a region is not defending its external borders, but has instead opened them. The like of this has not happened in several thousand years.” – Viktor Orbán, 16 September 2017, Budapest

RUMOUR HAS IT………..
BBC favourite “Andy” Burnham has been selected as a candidate to run in the Makerfield pantomime. I mean by election.
I do hope the BBC will provide details of how and when all those important and detailed Labour party selection rules were changed.
It’s not long ago that a whole raft of rules prevented Andys selection as the failed Gorton by election candidate.
Time for professional northerner Chris” aren’t I witty” Mason to bore us all with the details. Hopefully whilst in the street ,in the dark, outside No 10.( I sometimes wonder if the BBC have studios any more).
The Green Party candidate for the upcoming Makerfield by-election (expected in June 2026) has not yet been officially announced.

In a long article in UnHerd….
“Former head of political programmes at the BBC Rob Burley discusses the broadcaster’s “commitment to impartiality undermined by transgender ideology, a blind commitment to diversity and inclusion schemes, and a culture of intolerance”. A large part of this discussion involves an interview with former director of BBC News Fran Unsworth, who left her post four years ago. “She’s still raw from the experience of doing something she loved in an environment she began to hate,” explains Burley. “It was bullying,” says Unsworth. “There was lots and lots of bullying going on about all sorts of things: people didn’t want to hear from certain points of view; they’d ‘no platform’ them; all that safe-spaces shit.”

‘The Worlds favorite State Broadcaster’, the BBC has so often said when challenged. It is clear that it NOT, but it is its perverted, distorted, tells lies and charges you a license fee even even when you know its all false to pay its strictly come dancing stars. News is even worse. Which includes its management bully’s its staff.
