Widds RIP indeed. Widds was unique in British Political life. Here Am I, send me to the top of the Weekend Thread. The MSM and the BBC are ganging up on Nigel Farage. The BBC are reprehenisble! The BBC hate Nigel Farage, hate President Donald Trump, hate Israel, are pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas and Hizbollah. The BBC are obsessed with wimmin to the exclusion of males.
The sooner some facts are released to the public about what has happened to Ann Widdecombe- the better …. Hiding behind ‘process ‘ doesn’t work any more …
Conspiracy or piracy as Jack Regan used to say in the Sweeney used be 14 years. The BBC DG, Guardian, Independent and that smug Mirror editor Maguire should be in the frame for inciting hatred against Reform.
I know that once someone has been charged with a crime, the case is ‘active’ and the press have to be careful not to prejudice the case. The police say we shouldn’t speculate. Why not? Ann W was very definitely on the Right in politics, in the good old fashioned meaning of the description. Why did the white man murder her. Apparently he is a British National. What does that mean in this context? But the Left have so many causes that a person of ill intent could use as justification; Gaza, LGBQT, benefits, immigration etc. if any of these reasons it would be difficult to do anything but acknowledge the hate on the Left has encouraged this violence. Of course it may just have been the widow cleaner or the gardener etc with a grudge or theft in mind. This is not a case I would ever want to hear of, but it will be interesting what emerges about her murderer.
Even now the BBC cannot hide how much they hated her:
‘Let’s be clear – some of her views were regarded by some as deeply offensive.’
‘It is for you as a reader to come to your own view about her views.’
Regarded by who BBC ?. The usual hard-Left trouble-causers ?.
It sounds like the BBC think she deserved it. And watch the debate switch immediately to far-Right divisiveness instead of left-wing extremist intolerance if a Lefty did it.
Always depends who you are….the BBC has a sliding scale of victimhood and perpetrators.
If you’re Trump and you oppose abortion the BBC rages against you.
If you’re the Pope and you oppose abortion the BBC says nothing especially if you’re a leftwing Pope and in may other respects opposes Trump.
Don’t forget how the audience loved Ann Widecombe on Strictly but the BBC had never intended her to get through so many rounds. The producers did their best, choosing horrible outfits, more and more demanding danced, and dreadful music. They wanted Ann to be laughed at, not admired for her determination. They failed.
Deborah – I recall the argument at law school during the ‘rules of evidence ‘( yawn ) that all evidence should be admissible – and left for the jury / bench to determine …. So – no Hearsay – previous convictions admitted – that sort of thing ….
Instead we have a technical and long winded system which the unlegal have trouble understanding …
It’s a bit like those who want ‘offside ‘ done away with and no VAR …
I think in real life google had ended sanitised courts where juries live in ignorance of the defendant – however much they are warned not to go searching on the www…
I see the virtual Indy may have been somewhat wrong-footed in their choice of front page by the tragic news from Devon. Seems they had a veteran MP, ex-Minister, lined up to bang on about their favourite hobbyhorse this weekend…
Nick Clegg. Brexit has left Britain less safe, less sovereign and poorer (Independent)
Should have spiked Nick.
I agree with Nick (the 2010 General Election TV debate catchphrase – as coined by Uniparty leaders Gordon Brown & David Cameron)
And in agreement with Nick today in his distaste for Brexit we have: Georgian piles fail the taste test for capital’s young rich… Montpelier Square, minutes from Hyde Park, or Harrods… Of its 47 houses, seven are for sale… prices are tumbling… Familiar reasons… given by agents… Brexit to the end of the ‘non-dom’ regime (FT)
They do say estate agents are about as popular with the public as politicians.
I wonder if we should really blame Brexit for every little thing in life that gets our goat? Obviously FT journos were more than happy to relate the excuses of some estate agents – because we believe everything they say is tantamount to gospel.
But they also cite shifting aesthetic preferences among a new cohort of rich buyers, who eschew the renovation needs and impracticability of grand Georgian piles (FT)
Which reminds us… quick public service announcement: People in 50s urged to complete bowel cancer screening (Harry Sekulich, BBC)
Citing shifting aesthetic preferences & eschewing renovation needs – the FT Weekend edition deploying some hundred dollar words there – reminding us of their former tagline How To Spend It.
The FT has gone a bit worthy since ditching that slogan. We do get business news of course: EasyJet agrees £5.7bn sale to Apollo – although one doubts the target audience are personally interested in flying coach with the orange tailed low-cost carrier.
Holidays always make suitable weekend fare and a BBC series tie-in provides a new variation on a tired old favourite theme: Travel… Holidays with friends… Tips on setting boundaries from the writer of hit show ‘Two Weeks In August’
Your Mr AsI is happily TV Licence free – he stands up like a former alky at an AA meeting… and I’m BBC TV free for seven years now. Polite round of applause from the group.
So, A.I., trawl the internet and tell me about it? Two Weeks in August is worth watching if you enjoy messy, character-driven relationship dramas and cringe-comedy, though it has drawn mixed reviews from viewers
The eight-part BBC series follows a group of longtime friends and their partners who reunite for a holiday on a sun-drenched Greek island (filmed in Malta). What is intended to be an idyllic getaway quickly derails into psychological unravelling, infidelity, and awkward social combustions. – Radio Times with the positive spin.
And for those choosing to holiday at “Stoppathome” on “Windowsill Bay” as my old mum used to say: Arid gardens… How to save withering plants (FT)
Mr AsI has been thinking more and more about our present heat-wavy summer and the fact that we haven’t seen anything like it since 1976 – half a century ago. So where’s all this global warming been for the intervening 50 years?
UK bakes in 35C highs as millions under hosepipe bans (BBC)
Of course Mr AsI remembers the summer of 76 – it’s part of his persona to claim to remember the summer of 1876. He can recall all the jokes – how are the police going to extract confessions – now there’s a hosepipe ban?
Is there really a difference between amber and yellow?
If it bleeds it leads – and climate change requires fatal casualties: Five million people will be affected by hosepipe bans… amber and yellow heat health warnings issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), external remain in place across large parts of England until 21:00 BST on Sunday. (BBC) – just doesn’t really cut it…
Heat takes toll… Dozen killed in Spain fire (FT)
And, with crushing inevitability: British tourists feared dead in wildfire (Telegraph) – are we unsure whether they are dead? Or do we fear they were British?
The Guardian likes nothing better than a quick impression of the Harlem Voice and just to remind us this weekend that these days it’s not only the likes of righties that are targets for attack: ‘They were always going to try to tear me down’ Lizzo
Let’s leave it there while our media search the honky-tonks and bars (Johnny Cash ‘Boy Named Sioux’) of London – for a vibrant diverse group of Norwegian football fans willing on an England defeat…
Let’s hope, win or lose, post-match, they don’t take a leaf out of the Egyptian or Moroccan play book and on go one of their traditional tribal rampages – monks and nuns beware tonight.
My wife is Norwegian – I’m dreading tonight’s match (Telegraph)
Cue the Beatles:
I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn’t it good Norwegian wood?
But IMO a snippet of some of the finest crafted lyrics ever set to guitar
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry
I thought I’d stop and have myself a brew
At an old saloon on a street of mud
There at a table, dealing stud
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me “Sioux”
Asiseeit – the NHS – I think – offers bowel cancer screening to over 50s? I did it earlier in the year . I think it’s every 2? Years – well worth the effort …..
.. in my Mediterranean hiding hole there are small ‘wildfires ‘ every summer . The local fire brigade and the helicopters are well practiced on putting them out . I can’t imagine how anyone can be caught in one ….
Maggie Thatcher can you hear me? Your boys took one hell of a beating:
“Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana, vi har slått dem alle sammen, vi har slått dem alle sammen! [we have beaten them all, we have beaten them all!]. Maggie Thatcher, can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher … your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!”[
Atlas – the Americans have notice this comment and I think it will add to their interest … my bet includes a penalty – a red card – at least 3 yellow cards … cost of bet £1.50 ….. if I could bet on an OG ? Ugh – I would …
Al – i am Practicing RC as well – she was a convert – and in my experience converts have an even stronger faith . I – fortunately -have been a RC since birth .
The likes of the way popes interpret the gospel of Jesus Christ doesn’t really affect me . It is – what it is – as they say …. And one of the great attractions is the continuity and certainty – despite what the devil does to pervert certain members of the clergy …
RIP Ann Widdecombe
BTW – the war taking place on X about the deranged / distasteful comments of some journos and campaigners is quite something . And is a waste of time effort and ‘bandwidth ‘- as I think they say …
As for marriage – I spent ages on the law of marriages – and for me – it can only be between a biological man and a biological woman .
A Muslim colleague of mine held robust views on homosexuality and was fond of saying that in the Old Testament (which BTW is also a holy book in Islam) it states ‘God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve’. Which is true enough, but then nor does it state ‘God created Adam and Eve… and Alisha, and Fatima, and Maryam’.
” Big Brother. As we are the Ministry of Truth. Should we
be more careful at announcing that a white British male
has been arrested for the murder of Anne Widdecombe.
Just because the police have told us?”
It reminds me of the stunts the plod play in far away countries where a Briton comes to a sticky end – an arrest has been made – therefore you can all calm down and look away – oh and the footy is on …
I hope they have certainty on the cause of death ….
The 20 minutes talk on YouTube by Colin brazier this week tries to see the UK through the eyes of an invader …. Obvious stuff but seldom actually said out loud …
“Devon and Cornwall Police said a 26-year-old man is “no longer part of the investigation” and the murder inquiry is “moving at a significant pace”. Follow the latest: https://bbc.in/3R6YqA4”
So let me see if I got this straight: the African “French” team beat the African Moroccan team, which caused Moroccan savages to riot all over once-civilised Europe, except in France because the French authorities had spent millions in pre-emptive security measures.
Huh? 🤔
Just remember: “La diversité est notre force”, as nobody can say with a straight face anymore, except liberal-leftist politicians after every diverse outrage proving the exact opposite to anyone with half a brain.
Generally speaking, the authorities only use the term ‘British national’ when referring to someone that 90% of the population would not consider to be British in any conventional sense of the word at all.
‘Today’ was discussing ‘Info Wars’ as The Onion tries to buy it and turn it into a satirical anti-Alex Jones platform especially in regard to Jones’ conspiracy theory that the murders at Sandy Hook didn’t happen….for which he has been taken to court and had a $1bn payment ordered against him.
OK….so what about all those here who denied there was a problem with grooming gangs, who refused to report on them for years and allowed thousands of young white girls to be raped and abused? What of the likes of Emily Maitlis who calls people who raise the issue ‘racists’, what of Labour politicians who don’t want an inquiry and, like Maitlis, declare raising the issue is a ‘racist dog-whistle’? What of Sadiq Khan who denied there was an issue with similar grooming gangs in London and refused to deal with them…just as he refused to take seriously terrorist attacks which he deemed merely ‘part and parcel’ of living in a big city like traffic and noise?
Maybe all these politically motivated deniers should be charged ala Alex Jones and be dragged through the courts and made to pay compensation to the victims of the grooming gangs.
They were very quick to come out with the ‘white’ when saying a man has been arrested.
Have they set themselves a precedent?
If it happens that the murderer turns out to be black or Middle Eastern they should surely mention it if they arrest anyone.
It won’t be the Russians Vlad. They would use the novichok method and not the bloody mess left by the killer.
Anyway, why would the Russians target her, she wasn’t in the government and the Russians must know they can leave this government alone because it’s causing far more damage than they could do. They should give Labour a medal.
If it’s as bloody as some say that implies hate and we all know that nobody hates like lefties. The Right adore her.
It’s political in my opinion.
What a waste of such a good woman.
I know it wasn’t the Russians, I was referring to the claim that the Ukrainian ‘models’ who attacked Starmer’s property were handled by some unlikely cartoon Russian villain called El-Money.
The whole story sounds preposterous.
I know you were joking Vlad. I just wanted to mention how crap our government is and the Russians should just leave them to carry on destroying the UK.
Labour making huge efforts to limit donations to political parties…not their own of course…Unions can keep handing over millions.
Amol Rajan made no effort at all to point out the obvious….that this is the government creating legislation specifically in order to stop Reform getting donations…this is corruption at the highest level as a government tries to stop political opponents by inventing new laws and targeting specifically those who would donate to Reform.
Interesting to note Labour’s Stella Creasy was allowed to get away with one as she declared that George Cottrell had used his mother to funnel donations to Reform…no proof of that at all and yet Rajan let the little lie pass.
Lot’s of jabber about foreign donors interfering in our politics…..hmmm…so the latest campaign against Reform is being led by Times media…owned by an Australian billionaire who supports…Labour. Should the massive amount of hugely valuable Press and Media devoted to attacking Labour’s political opponents be declared by Labour as a ‘donation in kind’? Similarly the BBC’s pro-Labour/Democrat coverage…shouldn’t that be declared?
Why was the 26 year old arrested? Don’t the police have to have at least some evidence before they make an arrest. I thought the normal course of events would be to say that they are questioning a suspect. Do they go around arresting people now with no evidence and can this man sue for wrongful arrest? Seems like the police are showing their incompetence again.
Again. “White British national” = anyone with a pale complexion and a British passport or certificate of naturalisation. Not necessarily a Welsh, English or Scottish person.
🚨🇬🇧 British Police quickly announce they have arrested “a White British National” portraying the suspect as the murderer of Famous UK Politician Ann Widdecombe.
There’s a clear difference between (imho) “assisting with inquiries” and “arrested on suspicion of murder” – maybe I’m being overly pedantic – but I don’t like the split in emphasis there.
As a devout RC Widdecombe was sure she would be joining family in the afterlife. She believed theologically speaking, with regret, that her cats wouldn’t be there. I feel sure that they will be.
“Our enquiries are moving at pace for a suspect who is believed to be a white male.”
Believed to be. Call me cynical but I have to wonder if that is because they have a witness description or some cctv or is it because “White male” always has to be the baddie in the story of Diversity. Not fat/thin tall/short/medium old or young but believed to be be white.
They appeal
“We have set up a Major Incident Public Portal for information, images or footage to be submitted to us. This can be found on our website. “Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers.” Information, images or footage can be submitted to us via our Major Incident Public Portal [MIPP].”
Hey, how do I know what a male is anyway? Is that a male that was born male or a female who became a male or a male who identifies as female but looks like a male?
In connection with asylum seeker and ethnic crime. I’ve noticed some prominent Leftie commentators and politicians deliberately mangling crime statistics by claiming most rapes and murders are committed by white people. True of course but a gross misrepresentation of the true issue. Most people in Britain are white, at least for now, asylum seekers are a very small percentage of the population. Blacks and other ethnics are a somewhat higher percentage but still far smaller a percentage. The true crime statistic we need would be the percentage of those small populations that commit rape, stabbings, murder etc.
They overlook the numbers of participants in these cases. The majority of white males understand that Pedophilia is very, very, very, bad so they don’t go round the pub or their club telling their mates they have a really cute 12 year old that they are willing to share with 8 or 10 or 20 of their friends. I think we all know what would happen if a white man proposed this to what would swiftly become his former friends and how quickly plod would be notified. There’s even a good chance that with a white man plod might feel that the complaint was worthy of their attention.
I know rape is rape but counting a lone rapist with a team of dozens is not an honest comparison, which of course is why they use it.
Rupert Lowe’s response to the snivelling muslim MP Afzal Khan who “has reported me to the parliamentary authorities for my criticism of various barbaric Islamic practices, our rape gang inquiry report and my appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast.”
“Some were doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, while others were threatened with guns, made to watch “brutally violent rapes” and warned they would be next if they told anyone.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28942986
“The report found that three other publications in 2002, 2003 and 2006 provided “stark evidence” to the police and council.
The first of these was suppressed, which the report said had led to suggestions of a cover-up, while the other two were ignored.”
Dermot Murnaghan, the broadcaster, has died aged 68.RIP
Note his age … white men are expendable – I’m quite close to mr murnaghan’s age – and my family has history of prostate cancer – yet getting a NHS test ? DEA – don’t even ask ….
I recognise I have rattled on about this here many times – but I want every male over – say 50 – to consider getting tested . Whether the test is reliable- that’s a smoke screen .
All sorts of people in the public eye tell us of their illness – and very often terminal illness … which can be avoidable ….
I just cannot get my head around the police statement that they are looking for a white male. Surely that cannot be the only description. If they know his ethnicity and gender then they most know more such as the colour of his hair, his height, what he was wearing etc. Or are they just going to pick up another white male because he fits the description. The only conclusion is that they have a suspect but for some reason are not prepared to give any details. They also say that there is no risk to the public. I may sound conspirital but I have no faith in the police at all these days.
Jon
I think your lack trust in plod is more than justified ….the circumstance of the lack of information about the death of Ann Widdecombe has the smell of psychological control – conditioning for facts which their State do not find convenient …
There are echoes of the death of David Kelly … that thing about ‘white British man ‘ just sounds like disinformation ….
People demand to know in these cases – particularly an active politician … but the state chooses not to recognise this ….
Will this turn into a blurred CCTV image released in a few days as attention wanes ? – it’s happened before ….
Labour have announced that Andy Burnham will do a summer tour to visit towns across the country where they are losing support. Burnham believes he can win round 'sceptical' voters and 'reset' the relationship. Would you like 'King of the North' Burnham to visit your town or city? pic.twitter.com/sLX6msiuIc
I just remember Sarkozy’s vertically challenged entourage from some years back – two busloads of height challenged persons rocking up for every nuclear reactor / factory opening / ribbon cutting …. with appropriate attire for each event.
Chatting to an American tourist yesterday, she asked me:
(a) He is described by the British media as the ‘King of the North’. Does this mean he will now take over from Charles and become the King of all of England?
(b) Will he known as King Andy or King Andrew?
(c) Why do you guys not have an election to see who will be King, in the same way that we elect a president?
Bless. The intellectual qualities of people in the colonies have definitely been going downhill since 1776.
Ian – I saw a piece on x from some US airhead telling the world how footy should be improved … such as no game ending 0-0
… the way the White House has sway over FIFA maybe the rules of footy will be changed to suit US TV …
Most Americans have no idea of their own history so there is not much chance of them having any knowledge of Britain. Mind you I expect most children here would be no better.
No idea how he got that title but he is no king where I live which is a lot further north than Manchester. Must have been given to him by some socialist who lives south of Luton
Think it was the media, and apparently comes from his battle with Boris Johnson over whether his region – Greater Manchester, would accept strick COVID restrictions,
Naturally the ridiculous restrictions themselves weren’t the issue; just how much cash he’d get in support packages .
They were all after as much as they could get, so perhaps a few enquiries into huge, unaudited orders with Manchesterford sweatshops might be in order?
My apologies, because, as usual, I’m behind with developments…
Yesterday evening It seemed that the police had apprehended the man responsible for Ann Widdecombe’s death…a 26 year old WHITE male. Job done.
However, when I got home this afternoon, I find that this entirely innocent chap has been released. No charge. Innocent.
In the meantime the police have been assuring us that Ann’s murder wasn’t an act of terrorism or had any political reason to it and that no one else is at risk.
You see, unless they know who the killer is, how can they know all the other stuff?
There are rules they make up to make sure that DEI crap is followed to the nth degree, they can do the Frost/Morse bit in the background of course, and no doubt the post mortem will tell us a lot more, but like Starmer’s world, the result doesn’t figure yet, as long as the ‘process’ fits the narrative.
I wonder how this would have been handled had our beloved Ann been living on a Northern town full of ‘the processed’ newcomers…
I’ve had a s**t day, thinking about dear Ann. What bastard would do that to such a fabulous woman?
When it comes to violent crime-
The pattern has been observed for years- that police identify “white” immediately and hide brown/black as long as possible.
But the twist is in. Now, It’s not anti-white racism on their part, it’s the fault of protesters.
Leftwaffe trolls are all over the internet making the claim that police identify murder suspects as “white” in order to prevent the disorder of protesters.
Blame the protesters comrade. The latest directive from The Minstry of Truth.
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – not the usual BBC obsession with wimmin but another cause close to the BBC ‘hearts’ (do the BBC have ‘hearts’? I suspect not!)
Brexit: the BBC will no doubt agree with the sentiments expressed in the Independent. You will need to scroll down some way to see this rag of a newspaper: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c872z1xvr52o
In a new update, Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman says: “At this time we have made the active decision not to release further information, including descriptions of any potential suspects or releasing CCTV footage.
“Releasing such information prematurely could compromise ongoing enquiries and may prejudice future investigative opportunities.
“The decision not to disclose further details at this time is made on an operational basis. We will release information to the public when it is appropriate and necessary, in order to support the investigation.”
And they have asked people not to speculate on social media.
That on it’s own screams political cover-up. Never mind the fact that they were unable to realise it was murder for a full day after they found the body. Despite all the serious injuries she had to the head. Absolutely ridiculous.
The is screaming of a cover-up by Starmer and his lackies. I fully expect that police chiefs have been told to coordinate with the home office if any crimes occur which might make the Right angry before they release any specific details.
And now – from absolutely nowhere – they tell us this. Which means they knew plenty right at the start.
One thing you can be certain of : if he was far-Right, it would have been headline news on they day it happened.
Welcome to communist China. About to get much, much worse. Note how nobody is pushing body-bags to commit to his manifesto before these pathetic sycophants anoint him their new King. We are going to find out when it’s too late to do anything about it.
I wonder if any UK government in history has so unqualified to govern as this one. There isn’t a single other Labour MP who has the qualities needed to to stand for PM. What a complete shower of shit they are.
If all this is right John, then it’s too late for Binbags to be able to deny any knowledge, he’s in on it all right now!
Blimey, he’s going to be ‘in charge’ in a few days, so the only reason he won’t know is if Rodney does a sulk and won’t tell him. Rodney wants to scamper away to Davos as quickly as possible, before he has to take the blame.
It doesn’t matter what he knows or doesn’t know if the MSM (and especially the BBC) do not hold him to account. That is their entire purpose as a democratic check and balance.
And they won’t. Just have they haven’t done for TTK. Because they are now infested with Lefties who are doing anything possible to stop Reform who they regard with that special ‘ideological’ hate they have which doesn’t care about anything else. Which includes people getting murdered. Just like those in the USA.
The Left is a cancer in the civilised world which must be removed. Otherwise it will destroy it.

“Dover MP Natalie Elphicke told the Commons that the BBC’s “shocking report” contained the “breath-taking” disclosure of free French public bus services being used to ferry migrants from camps to Dunkirk beaches.”
I remember reading what the black guy who did it said when asked why.
It had nothing whatsoever to do with compassion. He knew that if the mob murdered him, it would look bad for blacks. Nothing more than that. He didn’t give a shit about the white guy.
When they were looking for the black guy who murdered his wife and two children, all they said was they were looking for a man who might have left the country. No colour mentioned.
SpaceX fires up Starship Super Heavy booster in preparation for Flight 13 | VideoFromSpace | 2.13m subscribers
…
“HS2 civil engineering is about two-thirds complete, focusing on the core London-to-Birmingham route. With Phase 2 scrapped, the estimated cost has soared to between £87.7bn and £102.7bn. First services from Old Oak Common to Birmingham Curzon Street will now open between May 2036 and October 2039.”
I worked on the software for the OnBoard-Computer for Ariane 5. All the SpaceX videos give me goose pimples to watch.
Most people don’t appreciate just what enormous technological achievements these rockets represent.
When something goes wrong, the spiteful Lefties on social media are laughing and making their usual schoolboy comments because all it means to them is that Right-wing Musk has failed.
They sum up the Left perfectly for me.
That’s a good effort by SpaceX – the lash- up video buoys off W.Austalia were interesting for me – answered a few questions I’ve had for many months. The ocean landing footage is epic.
The difference between the tone of this obituary of a plain old news presenter and the one the BBC gave to Ann Widdecombe before they confessed she was murdered is absolutely extreme.
It’s right up there with Kuenssberg’s interviews.
Unbiased my arse. Those Leftist scum are glad she is dead.
Just had another chat with AI about whether the ‘Online Safety Act’ is a deliberate means to implement ‘Digital ID’ so they can track us all.
First : just asking the direct question ‘is the online safety act designed to allow full digital id in the future’ gets the response:
‘The Online Safety Act is not directly designed to create a “full” national digital ID. Instead, it mandates strict age verification for adult content and child protection.’
Then, after some discussion, we eventually arrived at:
‘The Bottom Line: While the law may have been written to protect children, its execution relies on the exact same infrastructure required to build a population-wide digital identity system. The backdoor is technically unlocked; whether the government chooses to push it completely open in the coming years is a matter of political will’
I’ve just had a taste of the “Brazil effect” – DVLA put me through “Single Justice Procedure” for a vehicle tax non payment (£550 fine) – I bought the car and became the keeper in Jan 2026 – the non payment was in November 2025….
I rang them in May and they agreed it was an error – but the c***s didn’t quash it.
HMRC just fined me £100 for not telling them one month that I didn’t owe them anything for PAYE.
To be fair, they have cancelled it after I appealed. But the fact I got fined in the first place is ridiculous. They have systematically shifted the burden of tax collection onto businesses.
Glad you won the appeal John – recently i employed a plumber who got some ticket £180 – for driving in a zone – it’s rare to get a plumber so I paid the fine . Unfortunately he didn’t fix my problem
HMRC fined my social club £5,000 because they lost some payroll information. I sent the originals by recorded delivery. When I sent copies, they said it wasn’t good enough, the fine stood, this made us basically bankrupt after over 100 years. The contact was some French guy, who wouldn’t accept a phone call. Expect covid would have finished us off, but that’s not the point.
Dr Gavin Ashenden makes some very gloomy predicitions about where our country is heading, especially in relation to the Islamic takeover and in the light of Charles’ recent moves.
It will soon be illegal to say such things, or read such things, or share such things, or even to think such things.
I thought the introduction was hyperbole at first, but I stuck with it and found it lives up to what was promised. It is very disturbing but thoroughly believable. This may come to some here as something they already know but the speaker comes reveals himself to be politically astute and especially brave for a man in his position.
He knows what he talking about and combines his gloomy predictions with excellent analysis of the current problems that despite everything gives me hope. Once difficulties are clearly stated then there is hope of overcoming them.
I recommend this to everybody and ask people to post it around to get the message.
Thank you Vlad for posting it. I’d seen the thumbnail on you tube but passed it over. My mistake.
Nigel Farage made an exceptional eulogy ? For Ann Widdecombe as he visited her home …. And local plod is battening down the information hatches … which suggests the suspect might not be the white British killer the state wants it to be …
If it is a non approved type – he’ll never be caught …
Asking AI about why we keep getting told the BBC is biased both ways – so they must be right in the middle.
My question:
‘The right-wing bias seems like a bias to protect their own future. Whereas the left-wing bias is deliberate choice’
AI:
‘The Resulting Contradiction
This creates a unique institutional contradiction where two opposing forces exist under one roof:
The creative side of the BBC uses its independence to deliberately push a progressive, left-leaning cultural agenda.
The editorial and executive side of the BBC reins in its political journalism to remain subservient to the establishment out of fear for its own future.
Because the cultural output is proactive and confident, it often feels like a much more aggressive and authentic representation of the broadcaster’s true identity, whereas the establishment bias looks like bureaucratic self-defense.’
Once again the BBC nailed for what they are. Leftist hypocrites.

Widds RIP indeed. Widds was unique in British Political life. Here Am I, send me to the top of the Weekend Thread. The MSM and the BBC are ganging up on Nigel Farage. The BBC are reprehenisble! The BBC hate Nigel Farage, hate President Donald Trump, hate Israel, are pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas and Hizbollah. The BBC are obsessed with wimmin to the exclusion of males.
I cite as evidence: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8j2dje3pldo
Times radio no better and contacting their inner-swamp.
Item on at the moment about grindr.
The sooner some facts are released to the public about what has happened to Ann Widdecombe- the better …. Hiding behind ‘process ‘ doesn’t work any more …
Conspiracy or piracy as Jack Regan used to say in the Sweeney used be 14 years. The BBC DG, Guardian, Independent and that smug Mirror editor Maguire should be in the frame for inciting hatred against Reform.
Socialist Workers Party on X
” Ann Widdecombe is Strictly Dead”
Classy.
Its does not look like this anymore I wonder why ?
I know that once someone has been charged with a crime, the case is ‘active’ and the press have to be careful not to prejudice the case. The police say we shouldn’t speculate. Why not? Ann W was very definitely on the Right in politics, in the good old fashioned meaning of the description. Why did the white man murder her. Apparently he is a British National. What does that mean in this context? But the Left have so many causes that a person of ill intent could use as justification; Gaza, LGBQT, benefits, immigration etc. if any of these reasons it would be difficult to do anything but acknowledge the hate on the Left has encouraged this violence. Of course it may just have been the widow cleaner or the gardener etc with a grudge or theft in mind. This is not a case I would ever want to hear of, but it will be interesting what emerges about her murderer.
0700 – plod announces the ‘arrested man ‘ has been released …no longer part of the investigation … are they now going to claim ‘no crime ‘?
Even now the BBC cannot hide how much they hated her:
‘Let’s be clear – some of her views were regarded by some as deeply offensive.’
‘It is for you as a reader to come to your own view about her views.’
Regarded by who BBC ?. The usual hard-Left trouble-causers ?.
It sounds like the BBC think she deserved it. And watch the debate switch immediately to far-Right divisiveness instead of left-wing extremist intolerance if a Lefty did it.
Always depends who you are….the BBC has a sliding scale of victimhood and perpetrators.
If you’re Trump and you oppose abortion the BBC rages against you.
If you’re the Pope and you oppose abortion the BBC says nothing especially if you’re a leftwing Pope and in may other respects opposes Trump.
Don’t forget how the audience loved Ann Widecombe on Strictly but the BBC had never intended her to get through so many rounds. The producers did their best, choosing horrible outfits, more and more demanding danced, and dreadful music. They wanted Ann to be laughed at, not admired for her determination. They failed.
If Ann had been murdered by the Eestablishment, they have now had an extra 48 hours to remove any traces.
Deborah – I recall the argument at law school during the ‘rules of evidence ‘( yawn ) that all evidence should be admissible – and left for the jury / bench to determine …. So – no Hearsay – previous convictions admitted – that sort of thing ….
Instead we have a technical and long winded system which the unlegal have trouble understanding …
It’s a bit like those who want ‘offside ‘ done away with and no VAR …
I think in real life google had ended sanitised courts where juries live in ignorance of the defendant – however much they are warned not to go searching on the www…
Shifting aesthetic preferences edition
I see the virtual Indy may have been somewhat wrong-footed in their choice of front page by the tragic news from Devon. Seems they had a veteran MP, ex-Minister, lined up to bang on about their favourite hobbyhorse this weekend…
Nick Clegg. Brexit has left Britain less safe, less sovereign and poorer (Independent)
Should have spiked Nick.
I agree with Nick (the 2010 General Election TV debate catchphrase – as coined by Uniparty leaders Gordon Brown & David Cameron)
And in agreement with Nick today in his distaste for Brexit we have: Georgian piles fail the taste test for capital’s young rich… Montpelier Square, minutes from Hyde Park, or Harrods… Of its 47 houses, seven are for sale… prices are tumbling… Familiar reasons… given by agents… Brexit to the end of the ‘non-dom’ regime (FT)
They do say estate agents are about as popular with the public as politicians.
I wonder if we should really blame Brexit for every little thing in life that gets our goat? Obviously FT journos were more than happy to relate the excuses of some estate agents – because we believe everything they say is tantamount to gospel.
But they also cite shifting aesthetic preferences among a new cohort of rich buyers, who eschew the renovation needs and impracticability of grand Georgian piles (FT)
Which reminds us… quick public service announcement: People in 50s urged to complete bowel cancer screening (Harry Sekulich, BBC)
Citing shifting aesthetic preferences & eschewing renovation needs – the FT Weekend edition deploying some hundred dollar words there – reminding us of their former tagline How To Spend It.
The FT has gone a bit worthy since ditching that slogan. We do get business news of course: EasyJet agrees £5.7bn sale to Apollo – although one doubts the target audience are personally interested in flying coach with the orange tailed low-cost carrier.
Holidays always make suitable weekend fare and a BBC series tie-in provides a new variation on a tired old favourite theme: Travel… Holidays with friends… Tips on setting boundaries from the writer of hit show ‘Two Weeks In August’
Your Mr AsI is happily TV Licence free – he stands up like a former alky at an AA meeting… and I’m BBC TV free for seven years now. Polite round of applause from the group.
So, A.I., trawl the internet and tell me about it? Two Weeks in August is worth watching if you enjoy messy, character-driven relationship dramas and cringe-comedy, though it has drawn mixed reviews from viewers
The eight-part BBC series follows a group of longtime friends and their partners who reunite for a holiday on a sun-drenched Greek island (filmed in Malta). What is intended to be an idyllic getaway quickly derails into psychological unravelling, infidelity, and awkward social combustions. – Radio Times with the positive spin.
And for those choosing to holiday at “Stoppathome” on “Windowsill Bay” as my old mum used to say: Arid gardens… How to save withering plants (FT)
Mr AsI has been thinking more and more about our present heat-wavy summer and the fact that we haven’t seen anything like it since 1976 – half a century ago. So where’s all this global warming been for the intervening 50 years?
UK bakes in 35C highs as millions under hosepipe bans (BBC)
Of course Mr AsI remembers the summer of 76 – it’s part of his persona to claim to remember the summer of 1876. He can recall all the jokes – how are the police going to extract confessions – now there’s a hosepipe ban?
Is there really a difference between amber and yellow?
If it bleeds it leads – and climate change requires fatal casualties: Five million people will be affected by hosepipe bans… amber and yellow heat health warnings issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), external remain in place across large parts of England until 21:00 BST on Sunday. (BBC) – just doesn’t really cut it…
Heat takes toll… Dozen killed in Spain fire (FT)
And, with crushing inevitability: British tourists feared dead in wildfire (Telegraph) – are we unsure whether they are dead? Or do we fear they were British?
The Guardian likes nothing better than a quick impression of the Harlem Voice and just to remind us this weekend that these days it’s not only the likes of righties that are targets for attack: ‘They were always going to try to tear me down’ Lizzo
Let’s leave it there while our media search the honky-tonks and bars (Johnny Cash ‘Boy Named Sioux’) of London – for a vibrant diverse group of Norwegian football fans willing on an England defeat…
Let’s hope, win or lose, post-match, they don’t take a leaf out of the Egyptian or Moroccan play book and on go one of their traditional tribal rampages – monks and nuns beware tonight.
My wife is Norwegian – I’m dreading tonight’s match (Telegraph)
Cue the Beatles:
I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn’t it good Norwegian wood?
But IMO a snippet of some of the finest crafted lyrics ever set to guitar
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry
I thought I’d stop and have myself a brew
At an old saloon on a street of mud
There at a table, dealing stud
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me “Sioux”
Asiseeit – the NHS – I think – offers bowel cancer screening to over 50s? I did it earlier in the year . I think it’s every 2? Years – well worth the effort …..
.. in my Mediterranean hiding hole there are small ‘wildfires ‘ every summer . The local fire brigade and the helicopters are well practiced on putting them out . I can’t imagine how anyone can be caught in one ….
Maggie Thatcher can you hear me? Your boys took one hell of a beating:
“Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana, vi har slått dem alle sammen, vi har slått dem alle sammen! [we have beaten them all, we have beaten them all!]. Maggie Thatcher, can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher … your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!”[
Atlas – the Americans have notice this comment and I think it will add to their interest … my bet includes a penalty – a red card – at least 3 yellow cards … cost of bet £1.50 ….. if I could bet on an OG ? Ugh – I would …
So Ann Widdecombe was Catholic – and held Catholic views.
So is the Pope.
The same views on Gay Marriage etc.. as say the whole of the Muslim World.
Al – i am Practicing RC as well – she was a convert – and in my experience converts have an even stronger faith . I – fortunately -have been a RC since birth .
The likes of the way popes interpret the gospel of Jesus Christ doesn’t really affect me . It is – what it is – as they say …. And one of the great attractions is the continuity and certainty – despite what the devil does to pervert certain members of the clergy …
RIP Ann Widdecombe
BTW – the war taking place on X about the deranged / distasteful comments of some journos and campaigners is quite something . And is a waste of time effort and ‘bandwidth ‘- as I think they say …
As for marriage – I spent ages on the law of marriages – and for me – it can only be between a biological man and a biological woman .
Adam and Evan are created in the new Gay Bible – no kids – the end.
A Muslim colleague of mine held robust views on homosexuality and was fond of saying that in the Old Testament (which BTW is also a holy book in Islam) it states ‘God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve’. Which is true enough, but then nor does it state ‘God created Adam and Eve… and Alisha, and Fatima, and Maryam’.
” Big Brother. As we are the Ministry of Truth. Should we
be more careful at announcing that a white British male
has been arrested for the murder of Anne Widdecombe.
Just because the police have told us?”
It reminds me of the stunts the plod play in far away countries where a Briton comes to a sticky end – an arrest has been made – therefore you can all calm down and look away – oh and the footy is on …
I hope they have certainty on the cause of death ….
The 20 minutes talk on YouTube by Colin brazier this week tries to see the UK through the eyes of an invader …. Obvious stuff but seldom actually said out loud …
Best not to speculate.
“Devon and Cornwall Police said a 26-year-old man is “no longer part of the investigation” and the murder inquiry is “moving at a significant pace”. Follow the latest: https://bbc.in/3R6YqA4”
So let me see if I got this straight: the African “French” team beat the African Moroccan team, which caused Moroccan savages to riot all over once-civilised Europe, except in France because the French authorities had spent millions in pre-emptive security measures.
Huh? 🤔
Just remember: “La diversité est notre force”, as nobody can say with a straight face anymore, except liberal-leftist politicians after every diverse outrage proving the exact opposite to anyone with half a brain.
Merde alors.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they suddenly find it was ‘accidental ‘ …..
Or instigated by a mysterious Russian villain stroking a white cat…
‘White British male’ released as suspect ref Ann Widdecombe.
Any chance the police just lifted random white guy off the street so that they could say it was a ‘white British male’ and deflect speculation?
Lol….daft but these days….
I believe the description was “white British national”. Which could mean, not British at all. A passport holder or new citizen.
A French tennis player at Wimbledon.
Generally speaking, the authorities only use the term ‘British national’ when referring to someone that 90% of the population would not consider to be British in any conventional sense of the word at all.
‘Today’ was discussing ‘Info Wars’ as The Onion tries to buy it and turn it into a satirical anti-Alex Jones platform especially in regard to Jones’ conspiracy theory that the murders at Sandy Hook didn’t happen….for which he has been taken to court and had a $1bn payment ordered against him.
OK….so what about all those here who denied there was a problem with grooming gangs, who refused to report on them for years and allowed thousands of young white girls to be raped and abused? What of the likes of Emily Maitlis who calls people who raise the issue ‘racists’, what of Labour politicians who don’t want an inquiry and, like Maitlis, declare raising the issue is a ‘racist dog-whistle’? What of Sadiq Khan who denied there was an issue with similar grooming gangs in London and refused to deal with them…just as he refused to take seriously terrorist attacks which he deemed merely ‘part and parcel’ of living in a big city like traffic and noise?
Maybe all these politically motivated deniers should be charged ala Alex Jones and be dragged through the courts and made to pay compensation to the victims of the grooming gangs.
They were very quick to come out with the ‘white’ when saying a man has been arrested.
Have they set themselves a precedent?
If it happens that the murderer turns out to be black or Middle Eastern they should surely mention it if they arrest anyone.
It won’t be the Russians Vlad. They would use the novichok method and not the bloody mess left by the killer.
Anyway, why would the Russians target her, she wasn’t in the government and the Russians must know they can leave this government alone because it’s causing far more damage than they could do. They should give Labour a medal.
If it’s as bloody as some say that implies hate and we all know that nobody hates like lefties. The Right adore her.
It’s political in my opinion.
What a waste of such a good woman.
I know it wasn’t the Russians, I was referring to the claim that the Ukrainian ‘models’ who attacked Starmer’s property were handled by some unlikely cartoon Russian villain called El-Money.
The whole story sounds preposterous.
I know you were joking Vlad. I just wanted to mention how crap our government is and the Russians should just leave them to carry on destroying the UK.
Labour making huge efforts to limit donations to political parties…not their own of course…Unions can keep handing over millions.
Amol Rajan made no effort at all to point out the obvious….that this is the government creating legislation specifically in order to stop Reform getting donations…this is corruption at the highest level as a government tries to stop political opponents by inventing new laws and targeting specifically those who would donate to Reform.
Interesting to note Labour’s Stella Creasy was allowed to get away with one as she declared that George Cottrell had used his mother to funnel donations to Reform…no proof of that at all and yet Rajan let the little lie pass.
Lot’s of jabber about foreign donors interfering in our politics…..hmmm…so the latest campaign against Reform is being led by Times media…owned by an Australian billionaire who supports…Labour. Should the massive amount of hugely valuable Press and Media devoted to attacking Labour’s political opponents be declared by Labour as a ‘donation in kind’? Similarly the BBC’s pro-Labour/Democrat coverage…shouldn’t that be declared?
Pug
I reckon the honourable Stella ( see family tree ) – the MP for dead babies – is looking for a bodybags job -probably at health …
Why was the 26 year old arrested? Don’t the police have to have at least some evidence before they make an arrest. I thought the normal course of events would be to say that they are questioning a suspect. Do they go around arresting people now with no evidence and can this man sue for wrongful arrest? Seems like the police are showing their incompetence again.
They knew they needed to do something ….
They probably arrested the nearest white British male, so they could get the headline , worth it for the few hundreds he might get in compensation
Again. “White British national” = anyone with a pale complexion and a British passport or certificate of naturalisation. Not necessarily a Welsh, English or Scottish person.
He’d get more from the newspapers….
There’s a clear difference between (imho) “assisting with inquiries” and “arrested on suspicion of murder” – maybe I’m being overly pedantic – but I don’t like the split in emphasis there.
Escaped extra from “Hail Mary” movie?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cp3p2dkqxd0o
Have you noticed how they report things.
A 26 year old white man has been arrested.
A 26 year old man has been released.
Misgendered man sues poLICE?
As a devout RC Widdecombe was sure she would be joining family in the afterlife. She believed theologically speaking, with regret, that her cats wouldn’t be there. I feel sure that they will be.
I’m looking forward to seeing all my cats again. I’m sure they’ll be ok with the heat.
The heat In Hell I guess.

“Our enquiries are moving at pace for a suspect who is believed to be a white male.”
Believed to be. Call me cynical but I have to wonder if that is because they have a witness description or some cctv or is it because “White male” always has to be the baddie in the story of Diversity. Not fat/thin tall/short/medium old or young but believed to be be white.
They appeal
“We have set up a Major Incident Public Portal for information, images or footage to be submitted to us. This can be found on our website. “Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers.” Information, images or footage can be submitted to us via our Major Incident Public Portal [MIPP].”
Hey, how do I know what a male is anyway? Is that a male that was born male or a female who became a male or a male who identifies as female but looks like a male?
In connection with asylum seeker and ethnic crime. I’ve noticed some prominent Leftie commentators and politicians deliberately mangling crime statistics by claiming most rapes and murders are committed by white people. True of course but a gross misrepresentation of the true issue. Most people in Britain are white, at least for now, asylum seekers are a very small percentage of the population. Blacks and other ethnics are a somewhat higher percentage but still far smaller a percentage. The true crime statistic we need would be the percentage of those small populations that commit rape, stabbings, murder etc.
I expect that reasures all the victims of illegal immigrant crime.
They overlook the numbers of participants in these cases. The majority of white males understand that Pedophilia is very, very, very, bad so they don’t go round the pub or their club telling their mates they have a really cute 12 year old that they are willing to share with 8 or 10 or 20 of their friends. I think we all know what would happen if a white man proposed this to what would swiftly become his former friends and how quickly plod would be notified. There’s even a good chance that with a white man plod might feel that the complaint was worthy of their attention.
I know rape is rape but counting a lone rapist with a team of dozens is not an honest comparison, which of course is why they use it.

“The report found that three other publications in 2002, 2003 and 2006 provided “stark evidence” to the police and council.
The first of these was suppressed, which the report said had led to suggestions of a cover-up, while the other two were ignored.”
Dermot Murnaghan, the broadcaster, has died aged 68.RIP
Note his age … white men are expendable – I’m quite close to mr murnaghan’s age – and my family has history of prostate cancer – yet getting a NHS test ? DEA – don’t even ask ….
I recognise I have rattled on about this here many times – but I want every male over – say 50 – to consider getting tested . Whether the test is reliable- that’s a smoke screen .
All sorts of people in the public eye tell us of their illness – and very often terminal illness … which can be avoidable ….
I just cannot get my head around the police statement that they are looking for a white male. Surely that cannot be the only description. If they know his ethnicity and gender then they most know more such as the colour of his hair, his height, what he was wearing etc. Or are they just going to pick up another white male because he fits the description. The only conclusion is that they have a suspect but for some reason are not prepared to give any details. They also say that there is no risk to the public. I may sound conspirital but I have no faith in the police at all these days.
Jon
I think your lack trust in plod is more than justified ….the circumstance of the lack of information about the death of Ann Widdecombe has the smell of psychological control – conditioning for facts which their State do not find convenient …
There are echoes of the death of David Kelly … that thing about ‘white British man ‘ just sounds like disinformation ….
People demand to know in these cases – particularly an active politician … but the state chooses not to recognise this ….
Will this turn into a blurred CCTV image released in a few days as attention wanes ? – it’s happened before ….
Yes, I’m also having my doubts about the validity of the “white male” suspect.
The trouble is we’ve all been here before. Our beloved police have form.
And this is beginning to sound a tad like “Welsh choirboy”…
Know what I mean?
Coming your way?
The cynic in me suspects that there will be a couple of air conditioned coaches filled with actors and a wardrobe pantechnicon in the circus convoy
That’s a lot of mosques to visit – and a Muslim racist paedo torture rape gang in every town – with plod – council – nhs helpers …
I just remember Sarkozy’s vertically challenged entourage from some years back – two busloads of height challenged persons rocking up for every nuclear reactor / factory opening / ribbon cutting …. with appropriate attire for each event.
Chatting to an American tourist yesterday, she asked me:
(a) He is described by the British media as the ‘King of the North’. Does this mean he will now take over from Charles and become the King of all of England?
(b) Will he known as King Andy or King Andrew?
(c) Why do you guys not have an election to see who will be King, in the same way that we elect a president?
Bless. The intellectual qualities of people in the colonies have definitely been going downhill since 1776.
Ian – I saw a piece on x from some US airhead telling the world how footy should be improved … such as no game ending 0-0
… the way the White House has sway over FIFA maybe the rules of footy will be changed to suit US TV …
Most Americans have no idea of their own history so there is not much chance of them having any knowledge of Britain. Mind you I expect most children here would be no better.
It seems ‘No Kings’ is a variable term when used by the Left.
It just depends on if it suits them or not.
“King of the North”? Burnham is Marxist Scouse Scum.
Not My King!
Corbynham Mc Binbagface…
He’ll be getting the magic grandpa in for ‘advice’ as sure as ‘male embryos are male embryos’…
Can we vote on if Andy Burnham is wanted? HA HA HAH AHHA!
No idea how he got that title but he is no king where I live which is a lot further north than Manchester. Must have been given to him by some socialist who lives south of Luton
Think it was the media, and apparently comes from his battle with Boris Johnson over whether his region – Greater Manchester, would accept strick COVID restrictions,
Naturally the ridiculous restrictions themselves weren’t the issue; just how much cash he’d get in support packages .
I’d forgotten that headline, Eddy…
They were all after as much as they could get, so perhaps a few enquiries into huge, unaudited orders with Manchesterford sweatshops might be in order?
My apologies, because, as usual, I’m behind with developments…
Yesterday evening It seemed that the police had apprehended the man responsible for Ann Widdecombe’s death…a 26 year old WHITE male. Job done.
However, when I got home this afternoon, I find that this entirely innocent chap has been released. No charge. Innocent.
In the meantime the police have been assuring us that Ann’s murder wasn’t an act of terrorism or had any political reason to it and that no one else is at risk.
You see, unless they know who the killer is, how can they know all the other stuff?
Other than that the killer is a WHITE male…
It’s the ‘process’, Jeff…
There are rules they make up to make sure that DEI crap is followed to the nth degree, they can do the Frost/Morse bit in the background of course, and no doubt the post mortem will tell us a lot more, but like Starmer’s world, the result doesn’t figure yet, as long as the ‘process’ fits the narrative.
I wonder how this would have been handled had our beloved Ann been living on a Northern town full of ‘the processed’ newcomers…
I’ve had a s**t day, thinking about dear Ann. What bastard would do that to such a fabulous woman?
When it comes to violent crime-
The pattern has been observed for years- that police identify “white” immediately and hide brown/black as long as possible.
But the twist is in. Now, It’s not anti-white racism on their part, it’s the fault of protesters.
Leftwaffe trolls are all over the internet making the claim that police identify murder suspects as “white” in order to prevent the disorder of protesters.
Blame the protesters comrade. The latest directive from The Minstry of Truth.
Very true, Lucy, we’re thinking similar here…

End of.
And now for an active decision
Oh, FFS …
– SO, THEY KNOW WHO THEY’RE LOOKING FOR?
– I’m left wondering at
“Releasing such prematurely could compromise ongoing enquiries and may prejudice future investigative opportunities”
– how does that work?
Give the murderer time to get to South Africa? HA HA HAH AHH AH AHA
Ann Widdecombe was attacked 24 hours before she was found dead, police believe
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cjw8j46z7yqt
In a new update, Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman says: “At this time we have made the active decision not to release further information, including descriptions of any potential suspects or releasing CCTV footage.
“Releasing such information prematurely could compromise ongoing enquiries and may prejudice future investigative opportunities.
“The decision not to disclose further details at this time is made on an operational basis. We will release information to the public when it is appropriate and necessary, in order to support the investigation.”
And they have asked people not to speculate on social media.
That on it’s own screams political cover-up. Never mind the fact that they were unable to realise it was murder for a full day after they found the body. Despite all the serious injuries she had to the head. Absolutely ridiculous.
The is screaming of a cover-up by Starmer and his lackies. I fully expect that police chiefs have been told to coordinate with the home office if any crimes occur which might make the Right angry before they release any specific details.
And now – from absolutely nowhere – they tell us this. Which means they knew plenty right at the start.
One thing you can be certain of : if he was far-Right, it would have been headline news on they day it happened.
Welcome to communist China. About to get much, much worse. Note how nobody is pushing body-bags to commit to his manifesto before these pathetic sycophants anoint him their new King. We are going to find out when it’s too late to do anything about it.
I wonder if any UK government in history has so unqualified to govern as this one. There isn’t a single other Labour MP who has the qualities needed to to stand for PM. What a complete shower of shit they are.
If all this is right John, then it’s too late for Binbags to be able to deny any knowledge, he’s in on it all right now!
Blimey, he’s going to be ‘in charge’ in a few days, so the only reason he won’t know is if Rodney does a sulk and won’t tell him. Rodney wants to scamper away to Davos as quickly as possible, before he has to take the blame.
It doesn’t matter what he knows or doesn’t know if the MSM (and especially the BBC) do not hold him to account. That is their entire purpose as a democratic check and balance.
And they won’t. Just have they haven’t done for TTK. Because they are now infested with Lefties who are doing anything possible to stop Reform who they regard with that special ‘ideological’ hate they have which doesn’t care about anything else. Which includes people getting murdered. Just like those in the USA.
The Left is a cancer in the civilised world which must be removed. Otherwise it will destroy it.

“new theory was fascinating”
I wonder if anyone will do a modern day rubber boat version of the Bayeux Tapestry
“Dover MP Natalie Elphicke told the Commons that the BBC’s “shocking report” contained the “breath-taking” disclosure of free French public bus services being used to ferry migrants from camps to Dunkirk beaches.”

** using UK tax payer provided money? HA HAH AH A!
Waiting for new story to appear?
The police do not believe the murder was politically motivated?
How do they know until they interrogate the responsible person. Could it be that they don’t want it to be politically motivated.
I believe the police are a political tool. They will apply the law for some cases but not others. It’s all control and social engineering.
The police are the authoritarian arm of the left wing.
“A man rescued by a Black Lives Matter supporter during violent clashes in London is a former police officer for the British Transport Police.”

I remember reading what the black guy who did it said when asked why.
It had nothing whatsoever to do with compassion. He knew that if the mob murdered him, it would look bad for blacks. Nothing more than that. He didn’t give a shit about the white guy.
You didn’t see that on the BBC did you ?.

When they were looking for the black guy who murdered his wife and two children, all they said was they were looking for a man who might have left the country. No colour mentioned.
SpaceX fires up Starship Super Heavy booster in preparation for Flight 13 | VideoFromSpace | 2.13m subscribers

“HS2 civil engineering is about two-thirds complete, focusing on the core London-to-Birmingham route. With Phase 2 scrapped, the estimated cost has soared to between £87.7bn and £102.7bn. First services from Old Oak Common to Birmingham Curzon Street will now open between May 2036 and October 2039.”
I worked on the software for the OnBoard-Computer for Ariane 5. All the SpaceX videos give me goose pimples to watch.
Most people don’t appreciate just what enormous technological achievements these rockets represent.
When something goes wrong, the spiteful Lefties on social media are laughing and making their usual schoolboy comments because all it means to them is that Right-wing Musk has failed.
They sum up the Left perfectly for me.
SpaceX – Starship Documentary 2026 – Critical Path
That’s a good effort by SpaceX – the lash- up video buoys off W.Austalia were interesting for me – answered a few questions I’ve had for many months. The ocean landing footage is epic.

The difference between the tone of this obituary of a plain old news presenter and the one the BBC gave to Ann Widdecombe before they confessed she was murdered is absolutely extreme.
It’s right up there with Kuenssberg’s interviews.
Unbiased my arse. Those Leftist scum are glad she is dead.
Just had another chat with AI about whether the ‘Online Safety Act’ is a deliberate means to implement ‘Digital ID’ so they can track us all.
First : just asking the direct question ‘is the online safety act designed to allow full digital id in the future’ gets the response:
‘The Online Safety Act is not directly designed to create a “full” national digital ID. Instead, it mandates strict age verification for adult content and child protection.’
Then, after some discussion, we eventually arrived at:
‘The Bottom Line: While the law may have been written to protect children, its execution relies on the exact same infrastructure required to build a population-wide digital identity system. The backdoor is technically unlocked; whether the government chooses to push it completely open in the coming years is a matter of political will’
You won’t learn that on the BBC.
I’ve just had a taste of the “Brazil effect” – DVLA put me through “Single Justice Procedure” for a vehicle tax non payment (£550 fine) – I bought the car and became the keeper in Jan 2026 – the non payment was in November 2025….
I rang them in May and they agreed it was an error – but the c***s didn’t quash it.
HMRC just fined me £100 for not telling them one month that I didn’t owe them anything for PAYE.
To be fair, they have cancelled it after I appealed. But the fact I got fined in the first place is ridiculous. They have systematically shifted the burden of tax collection onto businesses.
Glad you won the appeal John – recently i employed a plumber who got some ticket £180 – for driving in a zone – it’s rare to get a plumber so I paid the fine . Unfortunately he didn’t fix my problem
HMRC fined my social club £5,000 because they lost some payroll information. I sent the originals by recorded delivery. When I sent copies, they said it wasn’t good enough, the fine stood, this made us basically bankrupt after over 100 years. The contact was some French guy, who wouldn’t accept a phone call. Expect covid would have finished us off, but that’s not the point.
Dr Gavin Ashenden makes some very gloomy predicitions about where our country is heading, especially in relation to the Islamic takeover and in the light of Charles’ recent moves.
It will soon be illegal to say such things, or read such things, or share such things, or even to think such things.
I thought the introduction was hyperbole at first, but I stuck with it and found it lives up to what was promised. It is very disturbing but thoroughly believable. This may come to some here as something they already know but the speaker comes reveals himself to be politically astute and especially brave for a man in his position.
He knows what he talking about and combines his gloomy predictions with excellent analysis of the current problems that despite everything gives me hope. Once difficulties are clearly stated then there is hope of overcoming them.
I recommend this to everybody and ask people to post it around to get the message.
Thank you Vlad for posting it. I’d seen the thumbnail on you tube but passed it over. My mistake.
True
… UK Procrastinates ??
Nigel Farage made an exceptional eulogy ? For Ann Widdecombe as he visited her home …. And local plod is battening down the information hatches … which suggests the suspect might not be the white British killer the state wants it to be …
If it is a non approved type – he’ll never be caught …
Asking AI about why we keep getting told the BBC is biased both ways – so they must be right in the middle.
My question:
‘The right-wing bias seems like a bias to protect their own future. Whereas the left-wing bias is deliberate choice’
AI:
‘The Resulting Contradiction
This creates a unique institutional contradiction where two opposing forces exist under one roof:
The creative side of the BBC uses its independence to deliberately push a progressive, left-leaning cultural agenda.
The editorial and executive side of the BBC reins in its political journalism to remain subservient to the establishment out of fear for its own future.
Because the cultural output is proactive and confident, it often feels like a much more aggressive and authentic representation of the broadcaster’s true identity, whereas the establishment bias looks like bureaucratic self-defense.’
Once again the BBC nailed for what they are. Leftist hypocrites.
