“King meets women’s cricket team that is not allowed to exist” BBC
The King met the Afghan women’s cricket team and faced a tricky question
…. Not allowed to exist …. Not allowed to exist ….
…
The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28939089
I read yesterday that this Iranian Cricket team asked all its members to resign immediately (non Muslims had to leave) unless they are signed up to Islamic state practices. Sadly the King was not advised that this was a PR stunt, one of many telling all the natives (in Yorkshire) that they will take what they do not already own. Can you imagine Sadiq Khan putting on the same stunt in Trafalgar Square with a call to Prayer? And Protected by the local Police!!!
And then reported by the BBC as a Peaceful prayer group.
There was certainly a bit of the “High Noon” about it. a brilliant film if you get the chance to see it with Gary Cooper superbly under-acting as the sheriff waiting alone to face up to the nasty bandits arriving on the noon train because nobody else will stand by him!
I also burst into giggles when I saw Burnham pacing down the platform like a gunslinger with a blonde dolly bird at each corner as if he was Julius Caesar with his hand-maidens or something.
Just about every public service is now seen to be bent, corrupt, incompetent….you name it.
Whether it’s today’s hospitals failings with mothers and children dying because of poor nhs service, the grooming gangs and all their helpers who looked away, the police arresting a fatally wounded lad and all the other things we are getting used to as being normal now.
Does anyone know if ANY public service people have been charged, imprisoned or anything else (apart from eventually resigning, getting a golden handshake and then moving into another top job) because nobody ever seems to be found accountable.
Lucy Letby may or may not be responsible for lots of baby deaths but something about that stinks and more are coming forward in her defence.
They can spare the cost of a grooming gangs enquiry in London because there’s no gangs at all there. The man in charge with all his helpers and who has all the information at his fingertips hasn’t even heard of them and doesn’t know what they are.
Do we have to wait until 2029 for these people to be brought to justice (although the Courts and Judges are also part of the problem and also need to be investigated)
EG
The only public body i can think of as remaining un corrupted by woke or just plain self interest is the airline industry and the CAA.
From my small exposure to them they really do push for changes after ‘incidents ‘ and publish investigations – assessments and encourage a safety culture .
I give thanks for that every time I fly – such as next week – if spared …
But as I’ve written here before – the uk is far better at ‘inquiries ‘ than ever putting things right .
How many other maternity units are destroying records as I write – following the publication of the Nottinghamshire report .
The NHS attracts people with God complexes – which is fed by cultural deference to the medical mafia – I’d sell off the whole thing …. So that sinners can be fired / prosecuted ..
Talking of water – i semi live in a hot climate – and this time of year – at the end of the day – i can drink a 1.5 litres of cold water and it doesn’t come out … suggesting daytime dehydration – which I reckon becomes more critical with age …
Fed.
Maybe the CAA is left alone and isn’t contaminated with the usual jobsworths because the people causing all the problems tend to fly a lot and it might affect them if they start messing about with it.
You could say the same with hospitals but I think the same people (the so called ‘elite’) will all use private health care rather than take their chances with the nhs.
If it is "CO2" that is causing 35°C today, then what is causing a drop of 11°C by Monday? Anti-CO2 perhaps? Or maybe CO2 has nothing at all to do with the weather and never did! pic.twitter.com/7zaHBHYV17
The residual yield on the upside of the fully drawn advance window, extrapolated with percentage variations in the co2 market trading issue (2026-A) is causing a negative fluctuation on the potentials for non-profit taxable items and median consumable extremities of the Abbott Graph. Several computations of temperature currency value indicate a swerve downwards in corporate bonds for co2 division, with a swing towards a mode of nearly 3% over the 14 months period to June 25/6. Accounts receivable are exceeding the liability to the government guarantors in Libya, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, hence the potential drop in temperature! The Reeves formulas for the screw elements are best viewed with indecent derision, but have the potential for total disaster for the UK economy by 12.00, August 13th, 2026!
They had to turn off large ‘fields’ of solar panels today, and use gas fired generators, because it was too hot. You couldn’t make this up as a certain tabloid journalist used to say. Was it Littlejohn, my memory is going?
While Justin Rowlatt is creaming his little panties at all this hot weather, I couldn’t help noticing a BBC graph showing that global temperatures had been stable ever since the Industrial Revolution and only started going up in 1970.
Which co-incidentally is when C02 production peaked in the UK and has been declining ever since, now less than half of the 1970 level.
UK CO2 goes down for 55 years, global temperatures go up for 55 years.
Over to Ed Milliband for an explanation.
Don’t hold your breath.
I’ve mentioned before the car-hating tendencies of the ruling class, the governments, the councils, and the bBBC.
But just when you think it couldn’t get worse, they closed the M25 today after a crash. They made thousands of motorists stay immobile for hours and hours in 35 C heat ( in the shade) but let us add 8C for direct sunlight and road tarmac heat absorption, so say 43C.
That’s it. They left them there. In that heat.They did f*** all.
As a result 10 people were taken to hospital with heat exhaustion type symptoms. More injuries than the original crash.
Labour / LibDem controlled London boroughs (and other places like Oxford, Bristol & Bath) don’t allow high speeds (20 is plenty) so wardens are advised to pull over likely planet killers, fine them and cut their AC drive belts?
Yet another NHS maternity failings report has been published.
This time the wanton mismanagement and abuse of patients in Nottingham has been highlighted.
What is the ‘finest health system in the world’ going to do about it?
Kick it into the long grass, blame previous staff, and sweep it under the carpet of course.
In other words, do exactly what the public sector and nationalised institutions do all the time.
These are the values we have to face when socialists want to get rid of ‘the profit motive’
They (DoH) shuttered the appalling West Wiltshire Primary Health Care Trust without public warning some years ago – after some quizzing they put out a statement citing “Not Fit For Purpose”
Some NHS executives + managers need to be treated as the common criminals they actually are.
Oh gosh, look who’s lining up to direct the NHS …Bodybags Burnham…. Shame that by- election wasn’t Mid Staffordshire ?
I see there are no fewer than eight, yes eight BBC people employed in the live reporting of the Scotland game on the webshite tonight. At least seven deserved redundancies right there I would have thought.
Harry – President Trump says an extreme liberal from some town will now be the prime minister … i dont think Burnham will be heading for Washington any time soon – it would really go to his head …
…. He ll head straight for Brussels …. Rejoining ( never left ) will be in the Marxist manifesto…
I’m going braless in the heatwave – announces the formerly serious, now mainly female interest, Times
Now I have your attention…
It never rains, but it pours – is a classic idiom Venezuelans may be reflecting upon this morning…
Caracas to unveil $240bn debt in historic shake-up… Venezuela is set to reveal a much higher debt pile than thought as it embarks on the biggest sovereign restructuring in history. The move signals the nation’s bid for revival after the US’s removal of president Nicholas Maduro (FT)
Powerful back-to-back earthquakes strike Venezuela, collapsing buildings in Caracas… Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez declares a state of emergency… offers her condolences (BBC) – well, apparently that’s what a national leader is all about these days.
Venezuela not among 48 nations heading to 2026 FIFA World Cup in US… despite the expanded 48-team field… The country’s national team was eliminated from qualifying and later fired its head coach. (Fox 5 New York)
In other sports news… speaking of not qualifying for a World Cup…
The King was showing his support for a team that cannot play in the World Cup… King meets women’s cricket team that is not allowed to exist… The King met the Afghan women’s cricket team… which is now in exile… The women told him how they escaped the Taliban in Afghanistan to keep their dreams of playing cricket alive. “I’m so glad that you can pursue what you want to do,” the King told the cricketers, giving them an enthusiastic welcome in Clarence House…Most of the team has now left Afghanistan, with the majority becoming refugees in Australia.
Sean Coughlan, Royal correspondent, BBC, writing up that bit of western liberal projection, wishcasting our values onto a foreign culture and society that would rather not – and Reuters & PA doing the photography for the pink-shirted, black head-scarfed ladies (more sports fashion news later) – by the way, the King’s old mum was the very last British woman who regularly wore a headscarf, dontcha know
I’m oddly reminded of the story of vintage comic Eric Morecambe being introduced to HM Queen Elizabeth at some variety gala event. Eric boldly asked the Queen did she enjoy football? “No, not really” was the royal reply. “In that case, would you mind passing your FA Cup Final tickets on to me?”
In some further commercial media relentless pushing of a young woman in sports: Forget the football, Emma’s in the mood for Wimbledon (Daily Express)
Emma Raducanu commands one of the most lucrative off-court endorsement portfolios in global sports, maintaining substantial multi-million dollar deals with luxury and lifestyle brands, headlined by a major apparel contract with Uniqlo. – thank you A.I. – for scraping that information from SportsPro ‘Content, events and business intelligence tools for the international sports community.’
Radacanu will wear Uniqlo kit on court… Tennis star will promote the Japanese brand’s LifeWear apparel off the court and collaborate on the brand’s community programmes… the deal with Uniqlo is worth US$3.5 million each year, with additional performance bonuses (SportPro)
And indeed, our tangentially British Emma is the Express full-colour front page feature pin-up – pictured in Uniqlo branded black sports top and bright orange shorts – bra information not available – I’m no fashion expert, you know.
Earthquake porn leads the way – get rowlatt to explain why earthquakes are getting worse because of global warming ….
… but then there is the Nottinghamshire NHS – they don’t care for the living and don’t care for the dead … babies in clinical waste – bodies misidentified and over filled mortuaries … just for starters …
And then the inquiry … of 66 senior staff they wanted to interview – 33? Refused to co operate …. If ever there was a reason to boot in the front door and get the complementary handcuffs surely that’s it – particularly since these people are on £200 k .. plus package before’moving to a better post ‘…
I couldn’t stay up to see the Scotland v Brazil game but enjoyed the goals . Presumably the majority of Scot’s will see the light and stay in America …..
A friend with a TV licence (boo hiss) texted me some awful BBC sentimentalised Scotland-Brazil post-match film footage montage set to some lame pop soundtrack – I can’t abide that sort of thing. For me it’s up there with VAR, half n half scarves, rainbow bootlaces, taking the knee (obviously), multiple substitutions, fan zones, rehydration breaks, extra time 100+ minutes matches, almost all goal celebrations, goal scoring non-celebrations, interminable minutes of silence for the groundsman’s nephew’s fiance, retiring the shirt number, UEFA, FIFA, the FA, the wimmins game, Arsenal, etc, etc.
Or, as old school commentators, the likes of Motty, was wont to say “That’s just the sort of thing we don’t want see in the modern game”
An important disclaimer is required at this point. There is no chain of evidence linking Qatar itself to any kind of corruption in securing its World Cup bid success. Qatar’s supreme delivery committee has always strongly denied any such involvement. And rightly so. A two-year inquiry by Fifa’s ethics committee found no significant concerns..
According to the testimony of Francesco Giorgi, since 2019, Qatar has funneled cash to Antonio Panzeri. Panzeri, a former member of the European Parliament, and Eva Kaili, a sitting member, were trying to influence voting at the European Parliament in favour of Qatar. Bribes related to Qatar, as well as the Mauritanian government, were, according to Giorgi, channeled through a Brussels-based organization co-founded by Panzeri called Fight Impunity
People stuck on M25 in heat alert taken to hospital… A serious crash which saw a man airlifted to hospital has led to traffic queuing for hours in a heatwave (BBC) – while police spent hours measuring their own skidmarks
I think they get off on shutting the road for a few hours – measure some stuff – have a chat – give out tickets to impatient motorists – screw up lives – what power ….
I speculate that the malicious motive was one reason to replace metal barriers (which can be removed with a spanner) with concrete barriers so that motorists on motorways are trapped.
More details of the killing of Henry Nowak have been released – but only transcripts – painful – plod took 8 minutes to find the stab wounds – they carried out CPR on the site of the stab wounds- push blood out of the body … but the body cam footage is … nowhere .. the plod are still serving – nothing will happen to them – they ll get promoted because of evidencing diversity treatment … nothing on the BBC …
It’s all very confusing – nobody knows anything….see Manchester for example….
“How did further footage end up in the media when this incident was subject to a criminal investigation? The IOPC has not authorised the sharing of any footage gathered during the course of our investigation with the media. We were not aware that footage of the incident had been obtained by media outlets until we saw that it had been published. We don’t know how the media outlet obtained the footage of this incident and why they chose to publish it, but the media do not have to disclose their sources. We know the first media outlet to publish that footage was the local news outlet the Manchester Evening News. Should there be an indication that someone serving with the police provided footage to the media when not authorised to do so, we would expect this to be referred to us. There is no indication that anyone from the IOPC provided this footage to the media. If there were an indication an IOPC member of staff provided footage to the media when not authorised to do so, this would be dealt with as a disciplinary matter.”
I cannot help but notice that there has been some criticism of Dr Justin Rowsplat , famous BBC “climate catastrophy” correspondent.
First, I would like to make it clear he should be respected, he is a Doctor, so he is obviously clever….and before anyone starts making a fuss ,the fact that his doctorate is an honorary one and in journalism! is bye the bye.
Personally , I am grateful for the advice that during this warm patch I can help myself by turning off the central heating and other things like drinking when I feel thirsty.
Business jets ruled ‘green’… Dassault Aviation, French maker of Falcon jets, has won a legal claim that private planes should be able to qualify as sustainable under EU environment rules that initially excluded them (the FT, or as I like to call it The Brussels Trumpet, caught there betwixt the apparently conflicting twin loves of Green and the EU)
Sometimes the connoisseur of those awkwardly near-juxtaposed headlines that tend put the lie to a prevailing media narrative will find that contradiction happily all rolled up into the one brief line.
Celebrities will save use from climate change …. “Kim Kardashian sparks backlash after revealing she flew private jet to Paris for slice of cheesecake”
Ban Kim from everything – as she cannot make sound decisions.
Duncan Wilkes writes today: …” I have previously written about how I have seen firsthand the mindset that infects the BBC with their London and Salford HQs broadcasting to a beat of metropolitan and progressive viewpoints.
….. The latest shocker when it comes to an attempt at social engineering has been revealed by the Daily Telegraph. They discovered that pro-migrant campaigners had met with producers of a BBC children’s television programme as part of their work to change attitudes to asylum seekers.
The Daily Telegraph reports that outside producers and one member of the BBC’s children’s programming department participated in a Zoom call with the charity’s campaigners.
When contacted by the newspaper, the BBC said that the charity had no power to influence production or editing of its programming and that consultation with experts was common practice. Somewhere over the decades political correctness captured children’s programming at the BBC.
Secondly, why are producers of children’s programmes giving time to lobbyists who wish to promote their narrative?
I can see why the ‘Heard’ charity would want to meet with journalists and producers of news programmes to try and gain coverage of their organisation and viewpoints when any story regarding immigration, refugees or asylum seekers is being produced. But they should not be allowed anywhere near those making television programmes for children. We should all be shocked at this latest revelation of charities attempting to influence the tone and content of children’s programming because as a nation we are still forced to pick up the tab for the BBC through its archaic licence fee.
On top of this, it is just the latest example of how the BBC sees itself as not just a programme maker, but as an arbiter of what people (even children) should be thinking on a given issue.
This is just another reason why this blundering behemoth must be defunded (with the licence fee being scrapped) and return to good old fashioned public service broadcasting (funded by subscriptions and a government grant) as opposed to politically driven output which is no more than blatant social engineering”.

Our Bridget is a truly nasty class warrior – I have no skin in the game – but I admire parents going the extra mile by sending their kiddies to decent private schools .
Bridget of course – is causing those schools to close …
I listened carefully to the chippy class warrior – she has no charm – no grace – no humour – but as a Marxist that’s a job requirement . No wonder she is referred to as a Nazi – another part of that sullen type ….
Interesting that she never mentioned her precious breakfast clubs – just nonsense about schools and hot weather … that line about taking 500 000 kiddies out of poverty – what does that really mean ..?
I wonder who is lined up to replace the miserable scum ? Actually could care less …
‘Citizen vigilante ‘ – a film about fixing injustices … won’t be released in Germany or britainistan- the method used being to refuse to give it a rating for cinema release – the subject of taking reprisals on Islamic rapist invaders is taboo – but thr ban shouid cause a lot more interest in the film …

The phrase man bites dog is a shortened version of an aphorism in journalism that describes how an unusual, infrequent event (such as a man biting a dog) is more likely to be reported as news than an ordinary, everyday occurrence with similar consequences (such as a dog biting a man).

HOT HOT HOT, says the BBC , but is it as HOT as last year?
Let’s ask Someone responsible for the claims…. BBC Complaints Director Takes Six-Month Sabbatical to Learn How to Promote ‘Climate Crisis’
“The BBC Complaints Director Colin Tregear has enrolled on the green grooming course run as a six-month sabbatical by the Oxford Climate Journalism Network (OCJN). The course is funded by the Green Blob and aims to make the ‘climate crisis’ a central element in the journalism of the attendees. Tregear is said to have responsibility for climate complaints at the BBC. Quite why the British TV taxpayer should fund this activist boondoggle for a man who is supposed to independently consider matters that often involve disputed areas of science is not immediately clear. In the past, attendees have been asked to consider that fruit such as mangoes aren’t as tasty as a year ago due to climate change. A previous speaker is on record as speculating on the need for “fines and imprisonment” for those expressing scepticism about “well supported” science.” https://www.climateskeptic.org/p/climate-news-round-up-68d

And it will be much the same next year. Hot, mid Summer with the odd Summer Storms booked and the odd Volcano blowing off with an Iceberg melting… in Iceland. The odd Earthquake perhaps as I heard today. BBC will put a spin on that next. Its not proper Journalism, but it is popular DRAMA. And Drama is what the BBC does very well.

I totally agree. There is a glimmer of hope, although the Burnham question is will WE (as a nation) ever be able to vote for a change of government when he is done, the UK will be broke, desperate and back in the EU where once again the BBC gets to claim (again) EU funding, which then goes on Google online adverts claiming we are all better off in the EU and REFORM and RESTORE are the enemy. — Burnham will rely on the BBC for support — and even has invited an ex BBC director — directly onto his campaign team:
GUDIO FAWKES: EXCLUSIVE “Purnell himself said Mandelson was “a friend of mine as well as a political colleague.” ….
James Purnell has been heading up lobbying firm Flint Global since 2024 after stints at the BBC and left-wing think tank IPPR.

Because that went so well last time…” https://order-order.com/2026/06/24/exc-burnhams-pick-for-no10-chief-of-staff-is-long-standing-friend-of-peter-mandelson/
This is what LOWE is up against. It too much for one man. It will need RESTORE + REFORM + CONSERVATIVES and a war in Europe to reunite against the Statist Socialists in charge. It really is our LAST stand as a country, after Burnham, the BBC will be more powerful.
The only reason the EU would ever want Britain back in is because we are the funding. We always got less out than we put in, it was one of the main reasons to leave, and now the establishment traitors think they have got a PM thick enough to take us back in.
Never forget, Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq war.

SNP politician Lara Bird is so incredibly Scottish that when she was sworn in at Parliament, she couldn’t bear to take the oath to an English King and instead crossed her fingers, which, according to the rules of the playground, means it doesn’t count.
was then revealed that Miss Lara Bird has a whiff debates by shouting “TRIPLE NO TAG BACKS FOREVER!” and then putting her fingers in her ears? Will she claim that climate change is so severe, the floor is now lava?
The finger crossing and huffy head throwing would be stupid and childish on its own, but it
of the Sassenach about her.
Her real name is Pyla Bird-Leakey (Pyla shite more like) and she’s qualified as an English barrister (not a Scottish advocate) and – most damningly – until recently had an English accent.
What’s interesting is that most Scottish Nationalists consider me to not be Scottish, because even though I was born in Dumfries, grew up in Moniaive, sound pretty Scottish, drink What other tactics will she use? Will she w the Empire, my mum is English.
With an English barrister with an English accent, is the most Scottish person that’s ever lived.
Only beaten in their Scottishness by a Somalian who arrived on Tuesday.
It’s almost as if communists are redefining what nationality is to sell their left-wing ideology voters.

Its curious that the BBC doesn’t refer to Pyla Bird-Leakey by her real name – unlike other unapproved people who are always referred to by their ‘real name ‘,,

A few days ago, a gang of North African migrant savages lured a young French boy to a building site and beat him to death, while they filmed it and then posed for pictures.
Below is a Facebook commentary on the story of Louis. It happened in France but every word applies equally to the UK.
𝟏𝟕-𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑-𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐁𝐎𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐁𝐘 𝐌𝐈𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄 — 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐇
A 17-year-old French boy named Louis is dead after a premeditated ambush in Narbonne, France.
On the evening of June 20, Louis was lured to a construction site and set upon by a group of migrants. The attackers 𝐤𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐲 and kept going until he was unconscious. Then they didn’t run. They filmed themselves with Louis’s body and arranged what investigators described as a photo session. He was found the following morning. Louis d∗ed on June 23 after days in an induced coma.
Five suspects were arrested — three of them minors. All are migrants. All five were initially charged with attempted m∗rder. After Louis d∗ed, the charges were elevated. Police identified the suspects using CCTV footage and the video the attackers themselves recorded.
This was not random street violence. It was a 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐡: a specific target, a planned location, and the deliberate decision to document the act. The attackers wanted a record.
France has been running the same script for twenty years: mass immigration, official silence, and violence that the political class refuses to connect to the open-border policy that made it possible. The same parties that opened France’s borders will call honest reporting on this case extremist. The same commentators who demand nuance about root causes will be silent about the root cause sitting directly in front of them.
Louis was somebody’s son. His name should be remembered. Europe’s open-border consensus is getting people k!lled, and the political class is more committed to the consensus than to the people.

The provenance of blocklists is important…. I’d ask that any block puts up a page itemising who supplied it and when.
It’s an avenue of censorship that I suspect HnH and the rest of the leftist activist rabble busily pleasure themselves with in the knowledge that they’re unlikely to be exposed – that has to change.

“King meets women’s cricket team that is not allowed to exist” BBC

The King met the Afghan women’s cricket team and faced a tricky question
….
Not allowed to exist …. Not allowed to exist ….
…
The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28939089
I read yesterday that this Iranian Cricket team asked all its members to resign immediately (non Muslims had to leave) unless they are signed up to Islamic state practices. Sadly the King was not advised that this was a PR stunt, one of many telling all the natives (in Yorkshire) that they will take what they do not already own. Can you imagine Sadiq Khan putting on the same stunt in Trafalgar Square with a call to Prayer? And Protected by the local Police!!!
And then reported by the BBC as a Peaceful prayer group.
It’s hard not to laugh.
There was certainly a bit of the “High Noon” about it. a brilliant film if you get the chance to see it with Gary Cooper superbly under-acting as the sheriff waiting alone to face up to the nasty bandits arriving on the noon train because nobody else will stand by him!
I also burst into giggles when I saw Burnham pacing down the platform like a gunslinger with a blonde dolly bird at each corner as if he was Julius Caesar with his hand-maidens or something.
The man is quite obviously a narcissist….

Just about every public service is now seen to be bent, corrupt, incompetent….you name it.
Whether it’s today’s hospitals failings with mothers and children dying because of poor nhs service, the grooming gangs and all their helpers who looked away, the police arresting a fatally wounded lad and all the other things we are getting used to as being normal now.
Does anyone know if ANY public service people have been charged, imprisoned or anything else (apart from eventually resigning, getting a golden handshake and then moving into another top job) because nobody ever seems to be found accountable.
Lucy Letby may or may not be responsible for lots of baby deaths but something about that stinks and more are coming forward in her defence.
They can spare the cost of a grooming gangs enquiry in London because there’s no gangs at all there. The man in charge with all his helpers and who has all the information at his fingertips hasn’t even heard of them and doesn’t know what they are.
Do we have to wait until 2029 for these people to be brought to justice (although the Courts and Judges are also part of the problem and also need to be investigated)
EG
The only public body i can think of as remaining un corrupted by woke or just plain self interest is the airline industry and the CAA.
From my small exposure to them they really do push for changes after ‘incidents ‘ and publish investigations – assessments and encourage a safety culture .
I give thanks for that every time I fly – such as next week – if spared …
But as I’ve written here before – the uk is far better at ‘inquiries ‘ than ever putting things right .
How many other maternity units are destroying records as I write – following the publication of the Nottinghamshire report .
The NHS attracts people with God complexes – which is fed by cultural deference to the medical mafia – I’d sell off the whole thing …. So that sinners can be fired / prosecuted ..
I’m guessing after the Nottingham maternity report the BBC won’t be making any more ‘call the midwife ‘ – ( something I’ve never seen ) …
Why are the media telling us to drink water in this hot weather, even my Dog knows that.
Talking of water – i semi live in a hot climate – and this time of year – at the end of the day – i can drink a 1.5 litres of cold water and it doesn’t come out … suggesting daytime dehydration – which I reckon becomes more critical with age …
Fed.
Maybe the CAA is left alone and isn’t contaminated with the usual jobsworths because the people causing all the problems tend to fly a lot and it might affect them if they start messing about with it.
You could say the same with hospitals but I think the same people (the so called ‘elite’) will all use private health care rather than take their chances with the nhs.
It’s simple really, Lucy.
The residual yield on the upside of the fully drawn advance window, extrapolated with percentage variations in the co2 market trading issue (2026-A) is causing a negative fluctuation on the potentials for non-profit taxable items and median consumable extremities of the Abbott Graph. Several computations of temperature currency value indicate a swerve downwards in corporate bonds for co2 division, with a swing towards a mode of nearly 3% over the 14 months period to June 25/6. Accounts receivable are exceeding the liability to the government guarantors in Libya, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, hence the potential drop in temperature! The Reeves formulas for the screw elements are best viewed with indecent derision, but have the potential for total disaster for the UK economy by 12.00, August 13th, 2026!

They had to turn off large ‘fields’ of solar panels today, and use gas fired generators, because it was too hot. You couldn’t make this up as a certain tabloid journalist used to say. Was it Littlejohn, my memory is going?
BBC TWaTO Watch #1 – I think the Montacutie cast aspersions on Israel ….
Could be wrong about that
While Justin Rowlatt is creaming his little panties at all this hot weather, I couldn’t help noticing a BBC graph showing that global temperatures had been stable ever since the Industrial Revolution and only started going up in 1970.
Which co-incidentally is when C02 production peaked in the UK and has been declining ever since, now less than half of the 1970 level.
UK CO2 goes down for 55 years, global temperatures go up for 55 years.
Over to Ed Milliband for an explanation.
Don’t hold your breath.
I’ve mentioned before the car-hating tendencies of the ruling class, the governments, the councils, and the bBBC.
But just when you think it couldn’t get worse, they closed the M25 today after a crash. They made thousands of motorists stay immobile for hours and hours in 35 C heat ( in the shade) but let us add 8C for direct sunlight and road tarmac heat absorption, so say 43C.
That’s it. They left them there. In that heat.They did f*** all.
As a result 10 people were taken to hospital with heat exhaustion type symptoms. More injuries than the original crash.
They are the absolute disgusting pits.
Why driving with windows down could be bad for your hearing – Experts advise motorists to cool off with air-conditioning instead, especially when travelling at high speed.
Labour / LibDem controlled London boroughs (and other places like Oxford, Bristol & Bath) don’t allow high speeds (20 is plenty) so wardens are advised to pull over likely planet killers, fine them and cut their AC drive belts?
Yet another NHS maternity failings report has been published.
This time the wanton mismanagement and abuse of patients in Nottingham has been highlighted.
What is the ‘finest health system in the world’ going to do about it?
Kick it into the long grass, blame previous staff, and sweep it under the carpet of course.
In other words, do exactly what the public sector and nationalised institutions do all the time.
These are the values we have to face when socialists want to get rid of ‘the profit motive’
They (DoH) shuttered the appalling West Wiltshire Primary Health Care Trust without public warning some years ago – after some quizzing they put out a statement citing “Not Fit For Purpose”
Some NHS executives + managers need to be treated as the common criminals they actually are.
Oh gosh, look who’s lining up to direct the NHS …Bodybags Burnham…. Shame that by- election wasn’t Mid Staffordshire ?

It never rains, but it pours – is a classic idiom Venezuelans may be reflecting upon this morning…

Powerful back-to-back earthquakes strike Venezuela, collapsing buildings in Caracas… Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez declares a state of emergency… offers her condolences (BBC) – well, apparently that’s what a national leader is all about these days.
Venezuela not among 48 nations heading to 2026 FIFA World Cup in US… despite the expanded 48-team field… The country’s national team was eliminated from qualifying and later fired its head coach. (Fox 5 New York)
In other sports news… speaking of not qualifying for a World Cup…
The King was showing his support for a team that cannot play in the World Cup… King meets women’s cricket team that is not allowed to exist… The King met the Afghan women’s cricket team… which is now in exile… The women told him how they escaped the Taliban in Afghanistan to keep their dreams of playing cricket alive. “I’m so glad that you can pursue what you want to do,” the King told the cricketers, giving them an enthusiastic welcome in Clarence House…Most of the team has now left Afghanistan, with the majority becoming refugees in Australia.

I’m oddly reminded of the story of vintage comic Eric Morecambe being introduced to HM Queen Elizabeth at some variety gala event. Eric boldly asked the Queen did she enjoy football? “No, not really” was the royal reply. “In that case, would you mind passing your FA Cup Final tickets on to me?”
In some further commercial media relentless pushing of a young woman in sports: Forget the football, Emma’s in the mood for Wimbledon (Daily Express)
Emma Raducanu commands one of the most lucrative off-court endorsement portfolios in global sports, maintaining substantial multi-million dollar deals with luxury and lifestyle brands, headlined by a major apparel contract with Uniqlo. – thank you A.I. – for scraping that information from SportsPro ‘Content, events and business intelligence tools for the international sports community.’
Radacanu will wear Uniqlo kit on court… Tennis star will promote the Japanese brand’s LifeWear apparel off the court and collaborate on the brand’s community programmes… the deal with Uniqlo is worth US$3.5 million each year, with additional performance bonuses (SportPro)
And indeed, our tangentially British Emma is the Express full-colour front page feature pin-up – pictured in Uniqlo branded black sports top and bright orange shorts – bra information not available – I’m no fashion expert, you know.

I couldn’t stay up to see the Scotland v Brazil game but enjoyed the goals . Presumably the majority of Scot’s will see the light and stay in America …..
A friend with a TV licence (boo hiss) texted me some awful BBC sentimentalised Scotland-Brazil post-match film footage montage set to some lame pop soundtrack – I can’t abide that sort of thing. For me it’s up there with VAR, half n half scarves, rainbow bootlaces, taking the knee (obviously), multiple substitutions, fan zones, rehydration breaks, extra time 100+ minutes matches, almost all goal celebrations, goal scoring non-celebrations, interminable minutes of silence for the groundsman’s nephew’s fiance, retiring the shirt number, UEFA, FIFA, the FA, the wimmins game, Arsenal, etc, etc.
Or, as old school commentators, the likes of Motty, was wont to say “That’s just the sort of thing we don’t want see in the modern game”
An important disclaimer is required at this point. There is no chain of evidence linking Qatar itself to any kind of corruption in securing its World Cup bid success. Qatar’s supreme delivery committee has always strongly denied any such involvement. And rightly so. A two-year inquiry by Fifa’s ethics committee found no significant concerns..
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/oct/08/football-corruption-and-the-remarkable-road-to-qatar-world-cup
…………….
According to the testimony of Francesco Giorgi, since 2019, Qatar has funneled cash to Antonio Panzeri. Panzeri, a former member of the European Parliament, and Eva Kaili, a sitting member, were trying to influence voting at the European Parliament in favour of Qatar. Bribes related to Qatar, as well as the Mauritanian government, were, according to Giorgi, channeled through a Brussels-based organization co-founded by Panzeri called Fight Impunity

People stuck on M25 in heat alert taken to hospital… A serious crash which saw a man airlifted to hospital has led to traffic queuing for hours in a heatwave (BBC) – while police spent hours measuring their own skidmarks
I think they get off on shutting the road for a few hours – measure some stuff – have a chat – give out tickets to impatient motorists – screw up lives – what power ….
I speculate that the malicious motive was one reason to replace metal barriers (which can be removed with a spanner) with concrete barriers so that motorists on motorways are trapped.
State news management
More details of the killing of Henry Nowak have been released – but only transcripts – painful – plod took 8 minutes to find the stab wounds – they carried out CPR on the site of the stab wounds- push blood out of the body … but the body cam footage is … nowhere .. the plod are still serving – nothing will happen to them – they ll get promoted because of evidencing diversity treatment … nothing on the BBC …
It’s all very confusing – nobody knows anything….see Manchester for example….
“How did further footage end up in the media when this incident was subject to a criminal investigation? The IOPC has not authorised the sharing of any footage gathered during the course of our investigation with the media. We were not aware that footage of the incident had been obtained by media outlets until we saw that it had been published. We don’t know how the media outlet obtained the footage of this incident and why they chose to publish it, but the media do not have to disclose their sources. We know the first media outlet to publish that footage was the local news outlet the Manchester Evening News. Should there be an indication that someone serving with the police provided footage to the media when not authorised to do so, we would expect this to be referred to us. There is no indication that anyone from the IOPC provided this footage to the media. If there were an indication an IOPC member of staff provided footage to the media when not authorised to do so, this would be dealt with as a disciplinary matter.”

WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL ……..
I cannot help but notice that there has been some criticism of Dr Justin Rowsplat , famous BBC “climate catastrophy” correspondent.
First, I would like to make it clear he should be respected, he is a Doctor, so he is obviously clever….and before anyone starts making a fuss ,the fact that his doctorate is an honorary one and in journalism! is bye the bye.
Personally , I am grateful for the advice that during this warm patch I can help myself by turning off the central heating and other things like drinking when I feel thirsty.
‘Too hot to work’ rule considered (left-leaning i paper) – particularly for the public sector, eh?
Stay cool everyone …
It is only fortunate that private jets boast leather seating, which can withstand Cillit Bang scrubbing better.
Business jets ruled ‘green’… Dassault Aviation, French maker of Falcon jets, has won a legal claim that private planes should be able to qualify as sustainable under EU environment rules that initially excluded them (the FT, or as I like to call it The Brussels Trumpet, caught there betwixt the apparently conflicting twin loves of Green and the EU)
Sometimes the connoisseur of those awkwardly near-juxtaposed headlines that tend put the lie to a prevailing media narrative will find that contradiction happily all rolled up into the one brief line.
Celebrities will save use from climate change …. “Kim Kardashian sparks backlash after revealing she flew private jet to Paris for slice of cheesecake”
Ban Kim from everything – as she cannot make sound decisions.

Quick PS on the quote: Afghan women’s cricket team… with the majority becoming refugees in Australia. (Sean Coughlan, Royal correspondent, BBC)
Does that not make these ladies the (mostly) Australian wimmins cricket team?
Clarification required, BBC?
Cricket is cultural appropriation and should not be used to escape your country as you are using a colonisers sport?! Scratches head ….
Duncan Wilkes writes today: …” I have previously written about how I have seen firsthand the mindset that infects the BBC with their London and Salford HQs broadcasting to a beat of metropolitan and progressive viewpoints.
….. The latest shocker when it comes to an attempt at social engineering has been revealed by the Daily Telegraph. They discovered that pro-migrant campaigners had met with producers of a BBC children’s television programme as part of their work to change attitudes to asylum seekers.
The Daily Telegraph reports that outside producers and one member of the BBC’s children’s programming department participated in a Zoom call with the charity’s campaigners.
When contacted by the newspaper, the BBC said that the charity had no power to influence production or editing of its programming and that consultation with experts was common practice. Somewhere over the decades political correctness captured children’s programming at the BBC.
Secondly, why are producers of children’s programmes giving time to lobbyists who wish to promote their narrative?
I can see why the ‘Heard’ charity would want to meet with journalists and producers of news programmes to try and gain coverage of their organisation and viewpoints when any story regarding immigration, refugees or asylum seekers is being produced. But they should not be allowed anywhere near those making television programmes for children. We should all be shocked at this latest revelation of charities attempting to influence the tone and content of children’s programming because as a nation we are still forced to pick up the tab for the BBC through its archaic licence fee.
On top of this, it is just the latest example of how the BBC sees itself as not just a programme maker, but as an arbiter of what people (even children) should be thinking on a given issue.
This is just another reason why this blundering behemoth must be defunded (with the licence fee being scrapped) and return to good old fashioned public service broadcasting (funded by subscriptions and a government grant) as opposed to politically driven output which is no more than blatant social engineering”.

Our Bridget is a truly nasty class warrior – I have no skin in the game – but I admire parents going the extra mile by sending their kiddies to decent private schools .
Bridget of course – is causing those schools to close …
I listened carefully to the chippy class warrior – she has no charm – no grace – no humour – but as a Marxist that’s a job requirement . No wonder she is referred to as a Nazi – another part of that sullen type ….
Interesting that she never mentioned her precious breakfast clubs – just nonsense about schools and hot weather … that line about taking 500 000 kiddies out of poverty – what does that really mean ..?

BBC Complaints Director Takes Six-Month Sabbatical to Learn How to Promote ‘Climate Crisis’
“The BBC Complaints Director Colin Tregear has enrolled on the green grooming course run as a six-month sabbatical by the Oxford Climate Journalism Network (OCJN). The course is funded by the Green Blob and aims to make the ‘climate crisis’ a central element in the journalism of the attendees. Tregear is said to have responsibility for climate complaints at the BBC. Quite why the British TV taxpayer should fund this activist boondoggle for a man who is supposed to independently consider matters that often involve disputed areas of science is not immediately clear. In the past, attendees have been asked to consider that fruit such as mangoes aren’t as tasty as a year ago due to climate change. A previous speaker is on record as speculating on the need for “fines and imprisonment” for those expressing scepticism about “well supported” science.”

Rupert Lowe powerful speech:
I totally agree. There is a glimmer of hope, although the Burnham question is will WE (as a nation) ever be able to vote for a change of government when he is done, the UK will be broke, desperate and back in the EU where once again the BBC gets to claim (again) EU funding, which then goes on Google online adverts claiming we are all better off in the EU and REFORM and RESTORE are the enemy. — Burnham will rely on the BBC for support — and even has invited an ex BBC director — directly onto his campaign team:

“Purnell himself said Mandelson was “a friend of mine as well as a political colleague.” ….
James Purnell has been heading up lobbying firm Flint Global since 2024 after stints at the BBC and left-wing think tank IPPR. A Tory source said: “Yet another protege of the best pal of the world’s most famous paedo is set to be Burnham’s chief of staff. Because that went so well last time…”

This is what LOWE is up against. It too much for one man. It will need RESTORE + REFORM + CONSERVATIVES and a war in Europe to reunite against the Statist Socialists in charge. It really is our LAST stand as a country, after Burnham, the BBC will be more powerful.
The only reason the EU would ever want Britain back in is because we are the funding. We always got less out than we put in, it was one of the main reasons to leave, and now the establishment traitors think they have got a PM thick enough to take us back in.
Never forget, Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq war.
Part of the government who told us we were winning in Helmond province.
Sent troops out in so called armored “Snatch” Landrovers.
Told us we had enough helicopters to do the job.
And he’s never said Sorry.
They were working class white lads, so why should he care?
Same the morons of Makerfield voted for the bum.
The greens have now got ‘insanity competition’ – this from

Scottish Nationalism has been colonised by Sassenach leftism.

SNP politician Lara Bird is so incredibly Scottish that when she was sworn in at Parliament, she couldn’t bear to take the oath to an English King and instead crossed her fingers, which, according to the rules of the playground, means it doesn’t count.
was then revealed that Miss Lara Bird has a whiff debates by shouting “TRIPLE NO TAG BACKS FOREVER!” and then putting her fingers in her ears? Will she claim that climate change is so severe, the floor is now lava?
The finger crossing and huffy head throwing would be stupid and childish on its own, but it
of the Sassenach about her.
Her real name is Pyla Bird-Leakey (Pyla shite more like) and she’s qualified as an English barrister (not a Scottish advocate) and – most damningly – until recently had an English accent.
What’s interesting is that most Scottish Nationalists consider me to not be Scottish, because even though I was born in Dumfries, grew up in Moniaive, sound pretty Scottish, drink What other tactics will she use? Will she w the Empire, my mum is English.
With an English barrister with an English accent, is the most Scottish person that’s ever lived.
Only beaten in their Scottishness by a Somalian who arrived on Tuesday.
It’s almost as if communists are redefining what nationality is to sell their left-wing ideology voters.

Its curious that the BBC doesn’t refer to Pyla Bird-Leakey by her real name – unlike other unapproved people who are always referred to by their ‘real name ‘,,
But Pyla Bird-Leakey? Really ?
So too hot to work.
Labour are sending MPs on a fact finding mission to Mexico, Brazil, and Australia to see how they cope in even hotter weather.
They want to know more about a new invention that actually makes the air cooler in homes and work places.
I bet the Cuban government got …pictures …with a young friend …
Corbyn hangs around with men in masks ha hah aha haa ha ah
There’s that mad staring eyed leftist who often pops up on GB News. Sitting to the left of Corbyn, appropriately.
“Rod Stewart famously left the UK for the United States in 1975 to become a tax exile. He relocated to Los Angeles specifically to escape the punitive UK tax regime of the time, which levied up to an 83% income tax on top earners”
And then urged us to vote Labour in the last election. Thanks, Rod.
“Andy Burnham to impose exit tax from UK.”

A few days ago, a gang of North African migrant savages lured a young French boy to a building site and beat him to death, while they filmed it and then posed for pictures.
Not one word on the BBC webshite.

Below is a Facebook commentary on the story of Louis. It happened in France but every word applies equally to the UK.
𝟏𝟕-𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑-𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐁𝐎𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐁𝐘 𝐌𝐈𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄 — 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐇
A 17-year-old French boy named Louis is dead after a premeditated ambush in Narbonne, France.
On the evening of June 20, Louis was lured to a construction site and set upon by a group of migrants. The attackers 𝐤𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐲 and kept going until he was unconscious. Then they didn’t run. They filmed themselves with Louis’s body and arranged what investigators described as a photo session. He was found the following morning. Louis d∗ed on June 23 after days in an induced coma.
Five suspects were arrested — three of them minors. All are migrants. All five were initially charged with attempted m∗rder. After Louis d∗ed, the charges were elevated. Police identified the suspects using CCTV footage and the video the attackers themselves recorded.
This was not random street violence. It was a 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐡: a specific target, a planned location, and the deliberate decision to document the act. The attackers wanted a record.
France has been running the same script for twenty years: mass immigration, official silence, and violence that the political class refuses to connect to the open-border policy that made it possible. The same parties that opened France’s borders will call honest reporting on this case extremist. The same commentators who demand nuance about root causes will be silent about the root cause sitting directly in front of them.
Louis was somebody’s son. His name should be remembered. Europe’s open-border consensus is getting people k!lled, and the political class is more committed to the consensus than to the people.

Isn’t the French population about 10% muslim, they have a big problem going forward
Admin please delete the above post thanks
Marky – I might be the admin – since when do you ever want a post deleted ? Usually it’s a repeat of a repeat from years back….
Ha Ha! please delete so Keir does not come knocking!
Ok – I hope im deleting the right one …
You would think that the people who run the BBC would consider why such a site like this exists ?
Difference of opinion is HATE comrade. Please hand yourself in to Huw Edwards for re-education.
Some anker keeps blocking these videos at work 🙂
As I work in IT guess I should blame myself, until i’m made redundant in a few weeks
They’re likely using copy n paste blocklists ….
The provenance of blocklists is important…. I’d ask that any block puts up a page itemising who supplied it and when.
It’s an avenue of censorship that I suspect HnH and the rest of the leftist activist rabble busily pleasure themselves with in the knowledge that they’re unlikely to be exposed – that has to change.
Stop the boats and deport all illegal criminals immediately. Get rid of ‘Border Farce’ and give the job to the Royal Navy.
The nation is in great danger! Wake up parliament and our government , defend the nation !
taffman – will this help the UK?
