Midweek 15th July 2026

539 000 people cancelled their TV licence in 2025 / 2026 … if their BBC is so great – why would all those people do that ? Or perhaps there is something very wrong with the BBC … Let’s make it a million less licences in 2026/7 …

    Comment “According to Kate Hoey “Not one of the Bishops in the Lords turned up for the remembrance words about Ann Widdecombe !” No doubt when it comes to handing out large sums of English churchgoers money to grasping and occasionally corrupt foreign politicians for so-called slavery reparations those same Bishops will be very present. They are fast becoming a loathsome organisation.” order-order.com

        It will happen – this is not easy stuff, unlike building HS2 or Keir giving kids a bowl of gruel in the morning …..

        Starship’s fifth flight test lifted off on October 13, 2024, with our most ambitious test objectives yet as we work to demonstrate techniques fundamental to Starship and Super Heavy’s fully and rapidly reusable design.

    Looks like PICU is well on the case leaking titbits about the killer of Ann Widdecombe- the latest is that he is a member of a ‘left wing party’ and objected to her views on trannies ….. maybe they’ll charge his as burnham completes his coup / World Cup final …. – when the boys come home ( yawn )

    Triangulation on Sources

    Primary active sources: Likely Devon & Cornwall Police (initial investigation), Counter Terrorism Policing (later lead), South Yorkshire Police (arrest), and neighbors/Ring/CCTV owners. Leaks cluster around visuals (Sun) and timelines/TV links (ITV), indicating selective briefing to crime specialists.

    thesun.co.uk

    Pattern:
    Early focus on non-terror/burglary angle (Sun exclusives), then escalation to terror probe. Police publicly withheld some CCTV/descriptions initially “to avoid compromising enquiries” but details still emerged.

    bbc.co.uk

    This isn’t unusual—UK forces often use outlets like The Sun for “understand” or “sources say” briefings.
    No single “selected” pipeline: It’s a mix of proactive police feeding (to manage info flow and gather public tips—over 120 reports received) and journalistic sourcing. Tabloids get the splashy exclusives; broadcasters get confirmatory docs like texts.

    birminghammail.co.uk

    Caveats: Official police statements repeatedly warn against speculation, and some details (e.g., exact motive) remain under investigation with the suspect now in counter-terror custody.

    bbc.co.uk

    Leaks can serve investigative purposes but also risk prejudicing proceedings. Public X chatter and secondary outlets amplify them quickly.

    This mapping relies on cross-referenced reporting as of mid-July 2026; the picture could evolve with charges or further releases.

      “Stop the boats”, “crush the gangs” .
      Yes please, as we are being invaded .

      If the boats were going in the opposite direction, I bet the French would stop them – pronto, and they would not be shovelling money at us !
      We have had a number of weak governments running us for the last twenty years, all scared of the ECHR .
      Remember – We voted for Brexit .

    TAX THE RICH ….

    “Adidas’s main ad also features an AI version of Sir David Beckham – who, to be honest, might not have had time to attend filming in person.
    The UK’s first billionaire sportsman has been in so many adverts from Home Depot to Bank of America, you could be forgiven for forgetting what brand he is actually representing.”

    The financial winners and losers from the World Cup
    Fifa – winner
    Fans – losers (PLEBS)
    Broadcasters and sponsors – winners
    David Beckham – winner
    Host cities – losers (PLEBS WHO WORK)
    Hotels – losers (PLEBS WHO WORK)
    Betting companies – winners

      “No, the BBC is not a ‘trusted’ news service
      The government’s plan to artificially boost content from the public-service broadcasters is deeply sinister.”
