Start the Week 13th July 2026

How much of the Truth about the killing of Ann Widdecombe will we get? Or will it be the usual legal shield to prevent ‘speculation ‘. The Left has certainly soiled itself with pitiful heartless comments about this lady .

    OK : this has been bothering me for a while now:
    US insists Strait of Hormuz is open as it exchanges strikes with Iran
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj9gkpp0dkeo

    ‘The US insists the Strait of Hormuz is open, despite Iran saying it has closed the waterway amid renewed strikes.’

    Here’s the truth of what Iran have done after I asked AI:
    ‘No, Iran has no legal right to close the Omani part of the Strait of Hormuz, nor does Oman itself have the right to close it. The southern side of the strait is completely under Oman’s sovereign territorial waters, making any unilateral military closure or enforcement by Iran an illegal invasion of Oman’s territory and a breach of international maritime law.’

    Why does the BBC never mention this ?. It is a key point for the whole situation. Why aren;t governments condemning what Iran are doing here and thus send forces to aid the USA to open it for shipping ?.

    And why aren’t the International community using this as a reason to join in to keep Hormuz open ?. After all, Iran directly declared they want to crash the global economy. They are all totally silent.

    From AI:
    ‘You are entirely right: framing the crisis simply as “Iran closes the Strait” without mentioning Oman’s sovereign waters can accidentally imply that Iran has a legal right to do so or that the entire area belongs to them. Leaving out that context sanitizes a major element of the crisis: that any total closure or enforcement across the entire strait requires violating a peaceful neighbor’s borders and breaking international law’

    ‘it sanitizes the illegal nature of Iran’s actions and obscures the vital role that Omani sovereignty plays in keeping the global economy moving.’

    Can it really be because they hate Trump so much that they want to make Iran look like innocent victims ?.

      I was sent a tic tok by one of a small Whattsap group, of baby Biden and baby Trump. The implication was that a mad baby Trump had attacked Iran again without reason. No mention of the Iranian attack on a ship in Hormuz. I debated whether to respond pointing out that Iran was the initiator. I didn’t. The other ladies are very much to the traditional Right. But sometimes they send these anti-Trump memes and videos. Set me thinking who makes these things? They could well be sponsored by Democrats, or is it the Russians or even the Chinese. Had I responded it would have shown me as sort of person who can’t enjoy a joke. I am growing ever more suspicious that these things are far more sinister that they first appear.

        Deborah,
        I am certain that there is a great deal of international ‘coordination ‘ between Liberal Globalist political parties , governments and their apparatchiks and of course the Legacy Media , to hold on to power and prevent Nationalism from taking power anywhere.
        When does coordination become a conspiracy ? In any event we have already crossed the anti democratic threshold .

      About time Trump grew a pair and just did the job on Iran and turn off the lights….they’re attacking US supply lines now….bomb them back to the stone age….and he’s going to have to put large numbers of troops on the ground even if in raiding capacity rather than occupying….to wipe out the small boats[lol…] and drone launchers.

      Finish it and stop allowing Iran to humiliate the US.

      Since the 50’s Liebour have had a cheese-eating surrender policy in the region see Col Colin (Mad) Mitch in Aden for more info. The UK has sovereign air bases in Cypress and Chagos as well as air bases (if requested) by the Oman authorities.

      How prepared are Gulf states to be in a tit-for-tat drone war with Iran? So far the answer appears to be that they are asking Uncle Sam for restraint. No regime change for Iran.

      Der Starmer, Lord Harmer, and the little khant don’t care about high oil prices. Fuel in their armoured chelsea tractors is free. Also 80% of sky high fuel costs comes back in taxes.

      Spaffing taxes on fast-breeder single mother welfare queens is very lucrative for all the ‘full-force-of-the-law-parasites’ who feed off the resulting destabilisation of UK society. You have to hand it to the B Liars, the UK is taking one hell of a beating.

      Watch how quickly they charge the suspect. Once they do that, the media are not allowed to report anything at all except what the police or a court tell them. We have the strictest rules in the world to muzzle the press. As Tommy Robinson found out.

      Then set the trial date for 18 months away and it will all be forgotten by the time we are allowed to know what really happened.

      Times Radio already attacking him as ‘exploiting Ann Widdecombe’s death for political purposes’…or he may just be joining the dots…why would someone travel hundreds of miles to her home…the killer must have researched her to find her home…unless it’s pure chance and he’s a long range roving burglar.

    The man arrested for Ann Widecombe’s murder is non terrorist and non political as the Police maintain. Therefore the only other explanation he must be a lone wolf nutter. However he went to the extreme actions of travelling 300 miles and murdering her. Why didn’t he murder some random person nearby or travel 300 miles to some other remote spot in the UK and kill some random person there?

    The explanation, Ann wasn’t some random person, he obviously chose to travel 300 miles and chose to murder her. There must be some motivation to do that which I would suggest is her prominence in Political life, her conservative views. We are in a situation where holding conservative opinions and being a member of a right wing political party, ie Reform, is considered actionable. It is therefore must be a political murder and by extension, terrorism. What else could it be?

        Deborah, I too used to be a staunch supporter of the police who I thought did a very difficult job under very difficult circumstances.

        Last week I parked in a supermarket car park and when I came out, a police car was in the nearest slot and a typically butch looking policewoman with her hair in tight-plaited ponytails was getting into the drivers seat.

        It was at that point that I realised I do not trust the police at all in the UK now. I no longer think they are there to protect me. It was a significant moment.

    The BBC is not the only media organisation hoping hard that the murder of Ann Widdecombe is not political because of course both organisations have spent a great deal of time and effort in trying to demonise Reform and Farage portraying them as racist Nazis and thus maybe, just maybe, have incited someone to attack a senior Reform politician.

    Even today Times is trying to attack Farage by saying he is politicising the death of Ann Widdecombe by suggesting it seemed planned….if anyone is politicising this it is the Times which has spent the last weeks on a savage and relentless drive to smear Reform and Farage with the intent of destroying them as a Party.

    Prima facie Farage is right given the known facts…the arrested suspect lived hundreds of miles from Widdecombe and had nothing to do with her…thus you might think he travelled down there especially to see her for whatever reason….must have researched her to find where she lives.

    Prima facie one could suspect that the inflammatory and provocative accusations coming from the Times provoked an individual to take action of their own against a high profile Reform politician.

    Pretty sure Times headsheds are sweating it now….blood could be on their hands.

    We all await the investigation of course…may well just be some very odd story and pure chance that Ann Widdecombe ended up as a victim.

    Times’ maths not up to much…Fraser Nelson, often dragged in to chuck mud at Farage, claimed that it was very dodgy that Farage had invested £200,000 in Crypto…just don’t know where he got the money…yes he got £1 million from ‘Celebrity’ but that wouldn’t give you £200,000 to invest in crypto!

    Hmmm…not sure but I reckon £1 million is a lot more than £200,000.

    Oh and yeah…£5 million donated to Farage…I mean…that’s unprecedented in our political system, it changes everything!

    Hmmm…didn’t at least 3 individual donors give £5 million pounds each to Labour? [And isn’t a foreign billionaire news paper baron giving Labour massive media support attacking its most dangerous rival ie Reform dodgy foreign founding undermining our democracy?…please declare that Times]

    If there isn’t a rule in Ofcom that says media organisations should not conduct highly political campaigns against a particular Party with the sinister intent to destroy that Party and thus basically destroy the democratic system in this country there should be.

      Is there any logical reason it should be anything else?

      To summarise:
      1. She was a well known, ‘right wing’ politician with outspoken views on Brexit and homosexuality.
      2. The murderer drove nearly 300 miles directly to her home.
      3. He bludgeoned her repeatedly about the head with a wooden bat, leaving her dead on the floor.
      4. He then got back in his car and drove nearly 300 miles home.

      What was that all about, if it WASN’T about her politics? Her appearance on Strictly?!

    The other evening Mrs S and I went for a walk in a local park.
    It was incredibly busy. Kids kicking footballs. Mothers sitting on the grass in groups. Families having fun. The play area full of toddlers and their parents.Even the outdoor gym was being used. A fine summer scene. Must have seen well over 100 folk.

    Not one of them was white British. The majority were Indian subcontinental. Four other people were white but spoke East European languages.

    When did ‘rubbing their noses in diversity’ and ‘embracing multiculturalism ’ become the total erasure of the original British domestic population?

      Sluff,
      Totally agree Britain is lost unless the native population are prepared to assert themselves which they show very little sign of doing.
      The British people have been neutered by decades of liberal left Globalism which destroyed their sense of nationhood, which made them believe that their culture and history was vile , that robbed them of their self respect , that filled them guilt for imagined past sins. The last thirty or forty years has been a slow national suicide.
      And the BBC has been the catalyst in this suicide. It has led the way in the denigration of our country and ‘softened us up’ for mass immigration . God rot the BBC!

      Funny you should say that : yesterday I went to an Asda in Hull for the first time in ages. I noticed there were many people in the entrance area and I was shocked to see that the vast majority were not white.

      As I went in, I had to take avoiding action because a short, fat Muslim woman wanted to cross the flow of traffic from right to left and she simply stuck her arm out and barged her way through everybody. No ‘excuse me’, nothing.

      And when I was inside, I realised how many ‘security’ men with the word written across dayglo waistcoats were hanging around the tills and entrance.

      And the entire atmosphere was quite unfriendly. Totally different to the local Asda I use. Instead of enjoying my bit of shopping, I was glad to get out.

    BBC now telling us Farage is exploiting death of Ann Widdecombe for ‘political purposes’ because he said her death was an ‘act of brutality’ and that it appeared ‘premeditated’.

    Hmmm…are they saying it wasn’t an act of brutality…and it does appear premeditated given someone drives 300 miles to her home..and the police haven’t announced that he is ‘known to police’…ie not a known burglar or otherwise criminal…thus you could speculate this may well have been a targeted attack perhaps based on politics.

    The BBC, ironically, went straight into a story about 2,700 people dying in the UK due to the heat….although they had to admit that this was mere speculation….they were no actual statistics this was based purely on modelling.

    You can’t suggest that Ann Widdecombe was killed due to the media led anti-Reform frenzy going on right now but you can speculate that 2,700 people have died due tot he heat…based on some dodgy maths and probably wishful thinking on the part of the modellers?

    ‘More than 2,700 people may have died from heat-related causes during the UK’s exceptionally hot weather in May and June, experts’ estimates suggest. ‘

    Coming over all hot and bothered edition

    That old journalistic mantra insists if it bleeds it leads…

    And if we’re to be frightened of this warm summer we’ve been enjoying so far…

    Thousands may have died in UK’s exceptional May and June heatwaves (A health/climate co-lab brought to you by Michelle Roberts, Digital health editor and Matt McGrath, Environment correspondent, BBC)

    British couple return to village at heart of deadly Spanish wildfire (Nick Beake, Europe Correspondent in Bédar, south eastern Spain, BBC) – recalling that old press trope ‘Peruvian earthquake – thousands killed – British holidaymaker feared hurt’

    Planes sent to tackle wildfires of ‘exceptional scale’ near Paris… A wildfire burns in Noisy-sur-Ecole… (BBC) – there’s a joke there somewhere about lack of discipline in the state education system. Aside from that childish gag – this sounds like that climactic point in the story where just so as to underline the seriousness of the situation the army gets called in.

    And just so as to bring some perspective to the apparent deadly crisis we’re busy whipping up in the minds of the audience – let’s just remind ourselves this is the weather we’re talking about…

    UK heatwave to intensify again as it enters second week (Matt Taylor, Lead weather presenter, BBC) – ‘intensify again’ may just about pass the acceptable grammar test, however – While the phrase is perfectly fine, sometimes less clunky or more specific alternatives can improve the flow of your writing. – observes A.I. borrowing, as is its wont, from Quora the ‘popular question-and-answer and knowledge-sharing platform’

    Now from your Mr AsI – the chap who brings you such popular irregular features as: You Guessed It, He’s Black; News From The Patriarchy; & How’s That Net Zero Workin’ Out Fo’ Yer?

    Things They Want You To Know Today

    Police say no suggestion of political motive in Widdecombe killing after new arrest (Zahra Fatima, BBC, doing the cut ‘n’ paste from Devon and Cornwall Police press release, running it through the spell check & adding a couple of quick illustrative embellishments care of Getty Images)

    Mind you, other significant aspects of the case may perhaps raise doubts in your mind: ‘Loner left his house with a pole’ on day of Widdecombe murder (Mail); Widdecombe ‘killer drove 300 miles with weapon’ (Times)

    I’m oddly, and reluctantly, put in mind of those annoying Scots twin brothers Craig and Charlie Reid, The Proclaimers:

    But I would walk five hundred miles
    And I would walk five hundred more
    Just to be the man who walked a thousand
    Miles to fall down at your door

    What else do they want us to know?

    Farage losing support… polling shows (Times)

    Meanwhile the Guardian front page this morning provides us with the epitome, the encapsulation, indeed the ground ‘Net Zero’ of today’s regime messaging…

    June heatwave killed 440 a day at its peak, say climate scientists – Mr AsI asks: Any suggestion of political motive in that reporting of expert speculation?

    Widdecombe speculation unhelpful, police warn (Guardian) – let’s try to parse that headline – there’s no point in the Gruan insisting the killing wasn’t political – everything is political for the left. If this is a random criminal or deranged nutter then society is to blame and poverty or underfunding of mental health services is the solution. Just don’t let the wrong side of the political divide use it as a political lever – think of Jo Cox.

    Here’s a case of You Guessed It, He’s Black – meets – News From The Patriarchy…

    The ever-excitable Daily Mail coming over all hot and bothered: Why so many women like me have fallen for Jude Bellingham – and its not the reason you think… by Bryony Gordon see page nine – unfortunately somewhat beyond our present front page remit.

    He did agree that people having a decent job was hugely beneficial in all sorts of ways and something that the left supported. But when I said that this was the reason why Trump was anti Globalist and imposing tariffs v China , to rejuvenate the Rust Belt, he launched into Orange Man Bad mode.

    300 miles?

    The man, who neighbours described as a loner since his father died, was filmed getting into his red hatchback before allegedly driving some five hours to Ms Widdecombe’s remote Dartmoor cottage.

            Scribbler priming is quite the profession it itself.

            Then, post scribbling, Dan Hodges et Al get reprimed to solemnly intone they are the ones who get to speculate, and only if given the nod.

            So far I am sadly only aware with dread certainty that an old lady was murdered.

      I know we mustn’t speculate, but this man drove 300 miles. It was a hot day. Ann might have gone on holiday for a fortnight. Would he have laid in wait, or driven 300 miles home and thought he would just have to go on another day.

        Given the overt manipulation and posturing driving the official reaction to the murder (de-escalated to death or even “passing” where possible) – the only sane reaction is speculation – when information is withheld/parcelled out to suit what is a self evident agenda….

        – or are we seeing Hanlon’s Razor playing out in real time?

        Hanlon’s Razor can be left on the shelf (imho) given the persistent contextual evasion we are seeing all over the place.

    “A decade ago the English disease appeared to have been transmitted to Russian football fans. During the 2016 Euros Russian hooligans caused mayhem in several French cities, particularly targeting English supporters.

    As one Russian hooligan boasted: ‘In the 1970s and 1980s everyone would bow down before the English. Now there are different hooligans. These are different times’.

    Ten years on and Russian hooligans have been replaced by North African thugs. There is a difference. The English hooligans of the 1980s and the Russian ones of the 2010s travelled to tournaments to fight; the North African hooligans of the 2020s look for trouble on the streets of their adopted country.

    Well, if there’s one thing we’re all certain of with Ann’s murder, there was no political or terrorism motive. Absolutely not! The police have made that abundantly clear…

    Mind you, they also made the exact same statement when they apprehended the totally innocent chap who was later released. It’s almost as if they were reading from a script.

    So, what we seem to have is a completely random murder by a bloke who packed a weapon and did a round trip of nearly 600 miles, just on the off chance of killing Ann Widdecombe.

    Ann was famous for a few things. Her politics, her religious beliefs and her views on homosexuality and the wider transgender movement…oh, and she also appeared on Strictly.

    Well, if wasn’t her politics, it wasn’t terrorism and it wasn’t burglary, perhaps he was just pissed off with her rendition of the Paso Doble?

    Honestly, they’ll expect us to believe anything…

    NO – they were killed by government inaction over Air Conditioners. Especially in Old Peoples homes.

In Scotland it seems as though it is every town and village, but the locals seem to know where to ignore it, at least I think that is the explanation for the car behind being 6” from our bumper.

        2,700 people did not die. The ‘experts’ ‘estimate’ that ‘more than 2,700 people may have died from heat-related causes’. As the BBC article itself candidly admits: ‘Experts thought 2025 was going to be a very bad year for heat-related deaths, but the numbers who died turned out to be much lower than expected – roughly half the 3,039 predicted.

        Since the BBC article was originally published they added the following paragraph:

        Some of the researchers believe, on current trajectories, heat-related deaths in parts of northern Europe could begin to rival cold-related ones within a couple of decades.

        Begin to rival? What does that mean? Well of course the BBC don’t tell you, but what it really means is that far more Europeans die of the cold than of the heat. According to a 2023 paper published by The Lancet, there are TEN times as many cold deaths as heat deaths in Europe (a study using data from 854 cities based on 2000-2019 data). However, even the once-esteemed medical journal couldn’t resist a bit of BBC-style distortion. Take a look at Figure 3: it appears that cold and heat deaths are broadly similar (which is what they want you to think), until you look at the axis and see they’ve used totally different scales to distort the chart…

        http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(23)00023-2/fulltext

        Mind you, perhaps if Global Boiling ™ was true when we might begin to see a fall in the vast numbers of Europeans who die from hypothermia. Won’t be any need for Cold Weather payments for pensioners then eh, Rachel and Keir and whatever the new guy is called.

    There have been cases taken to Court and prison sentences given to a number of “Far Right” keyboard warriors. These “terrorists” often had nothing more than a few Nazi posters on the wall, a copy of Mein Kampf and a variety of frankly unpleasant views. In many cases the likelyhood of them actually doing anything in the real world was remote. Yet they were convicted as terrorists.

      Right wing thinking is clearly terrorism and almost certainly going to be made illegal. Left wing violent action, including murder, is definitely not criminal but is to be applauded and encouraged. Especially if it’s against those same right wing terrorists. That’s how this country now appears to me.

    As the police have ruled out all the obvious reasons why someone would kill Ann it seems the only thing they haven’t dismissed is a disgruntled Strictly come dancing fan who may have been triggered by her performance.

    It’s getting ridiculous now and the police have themselves to blame as the public is getting wise to their tricks (white description out within minutes but when not we all know what it means or the old ‘Welsh choir boy’ deception)
    Like most on here I used to trust the police but not any more.
    Not just the police, everything to do with our government and civil service is rotten and corrupt.

    If Nigel is not killed and gets to be PM he has a massive swamp to clear.

    The presenter was a white male – who was so anonymous that I can’t remember anything else about him ….

    … but throughout the thing you could feel the socialists screaming to attack anyone who likes making money and thus living outside the laws and taxes we poor devils have to suffer …

    At the end the BBC legal department put up a whole series of captions to cover the BBC Corporate bottom .

    I was still interested because I had my propaganda detector at full volume …

    The captions were meaningless – without context – but did show that the moneymakers – for some reason – still resort to the legal process … let’s hope they can buy that too …

      Berlin, Germany 2016
      Arrested German spy was a onetime gay porn actor — and a secret Islamist {washingtonpost nov2016}
      “BERLIN — Two weeks ago, German intelligence agents noticed an unusual user in a chat room known as a digital hideout for Islamic militants. The man claimed to be one of them — and said he was a German spy. He was offering to help Islamists infiltrate his agency’s (In April 2016, the man began working for the BfV, assigned to monitoring potentially violent Islamists in Germany.) defenses to stage a strike.

      Agents lured him into a private chat, and he gave away so many details about the spy agency — and his own directives within it to thwart Islamists — that they quickly identified him, arresting the 51-year-old the next day. Only then would the extent of his double life become clear.

      It’s not only a rather bizarre, but also a quite scary, story that an agency, whose central role it is to engage in counterespionage, hired an Islamist who potentially had access to classified information, who might have even tried to spread Islamist propaganda and to recruit others to let themselves be hired by and possibly launch an attack”

    “They felt quite insulted to have their condition basically dismissed as something quite trivial. They are incredibly needy. Some have lost their jobs, dropped out of university or seen their marriages break down as a result [of narcolepsy],” said Peter Todd, the solicitor for the family of the 12-year-old, a partner with the London firm Hodge Jones & Allen.

    His daughter received the vaccine in 2009 and in the months afterwards began showing symptoms of the sleep disorder, such as lethargy and sudden loss of muscle control. Twice, her mother has found her asleep in the bath and on several occasions she has fallen suddenly after losing consciousness.

    Key Features

    Violence Against Non-Combatants: Terrorism specifically targets civilians rather than military personnel.

    Political or Ideological Goals: The violence is intended to promote a specific political agenda or ideology.

    Instilling Fear: A primary objective is to create a climate of fear that can lead to changes in policy or behaviour among the public and government.
