    BBC either flat out ignorant or trying to fudge the shin kicking of Spain by Morocco.

    Also reporting a bunch of deaths ….

    Cack handed on message tripe.

    Burnham blathering and ignoring the actual context of the Ceuta “Moroccan pitch invasion” – I see the BBC are hiding the URLs of the videos on their main page

    Tomo – with a bit of luck the whole thing will get out of control and be a disaster – the treaties and laws relied on by the invader industry – presided over by the likes of Starmer and Hermer must be deconstructed and a more sensible ‘robust ‘regime introduced .
    Other countries will put their people first … I understand Sweden – of all places – is imposing proper restriction on invaders / Islam because Theyvd Had Enough ..

      Not many sub Saharan Africans in the vids I’ve seen – my read is a bunch of Moroccans gee’d up for some summer mayhem. Mostly rooted in Moroccan antipathy towards the old colonialists or something… Thought the migrants thing was over-egged.

        “It’s a concerning situation, and I know people will see those scenes and want something to be done — more to be done.
        What I have done is firstly keep the current Home Secretary in place because the plan she has implemented has started to make a difference. Although this is the peak period of the year for crossings, overall the number of crossings is down, the number of removals of people is up. So there is progress, but we both recognise that we need to do more.
        And I will make a visit very shortly to Border Force on the south coast to see the situation for myself, assess it, and then agree with the Home Secretary what further we need to do.
        We’ve made headway, but certainly more is needed. And obviously that’s a matter for the Spanish government first and foremost, but it is a cause for concern and we are making contact with the Spanish government, the Spanish authorities, to provide support, but also to understand the implications of that situation.”

        Lame – but I suppose it’s a relief not to have to listen to the adenoidal prat Starmer (remember him?)

    The BBC are wasteful. The BBC are biased. Biased against the Reform Party and its leader Nigel Farage. Like the rest of the MSM the BBC want to get us back into the EU. The BBC are biased against President Trump. The BBC are pro-Palestine, pro-Hamas, biased against Israel and its PM, Bibi Netanyahu, biased against India and its PM, Narenrendra Modi. The BBC are wasteful on salaries. Defund the BBC!

      Not got a great amount of sympathy for BP but the clueless meddling of the SNP (and BoneEd + ecoloon chums) is intolerable – especially if you can do better for shareholders elsewhere with less uncertainty and higher margins.

      It’s a pattern seen elsewhere – iirc Chevron have told Newscum / Commiefornia to GFY and shuttered ops.

    Wasn’t it yesterday (Thursday) that Andy Burnham announced income tax going to the mayors for them to choose how to spend it. This was the day that Manchester was having an election for a new mayor. Apart from the minor issue that it should be announced in Parliament, it was also a time which I would have thought was purdah. What do I know? Didn’t hear any criticism in the press.

  6. Deborah says:

    Even GBNews praises Andy Burnham for his oratory skills. I watched ‘our Andy’ speaking to a dozen elderly people or people in wheelchairs about his plans for social services. I heard somewhere that he chose to speak without a podium or notes because he was so passionate about his plans. He was wooden and hesitant. It isn’t a one off, the other times I have seen him speak in the last week he has been the same. Next time you have the bad luck to watch him, don’t listen to the words, but listen to delivery. He is scarcely better than Starmer. Don’t let the MSM repeat something so many times that it becomes difficult to argue.

  8. Deborah says:

    Sorry, me again. It is difficult to find anywhere but the BBC giving an update of the Manchester mayor. This is the update I found on the BBC website.

    “Andy Burnham secured three terms as Greater Manchester’s mayor. In both the inaugural election of 2017 and in 2024 he secured 63% of the vote. In 2021 he did even better, with 67%.
    The Supplementary Vote system used this year was also in operation in 2017 and 2021, with the more familiar First Past The Post system used in 2024.
    The fact we’re now counting second-preference votes means no candidate earned a majority of first-preference votes.
    Therefore, whatever happens this evening, neither of the top-two candidates has matched Burnham’s vote.”

    I realise that Ian Shoesmith is correct that neither candidate got the same percentage as “our Andy”. For me the last sentence was unnecessary but only there to praise our new PM. I see it as BBC bias.

    There are 3 important aspects to the latest migrant invasion of Spain.

    1) The Muslim invaders themselves, and the existential threat they pose to Europe.
    2) The ‘liberal’ governments of Europe, including UK, that have allowed and encouraged the invasion for decades.
    3) The pathetic Socialist government of Spain that has caused the latest disaster.

    So what do the BBC do? They run with the least significant aspect of the crisis, namely the alleged ‘traffickers’. Anything to deflect attention away from the real problem.

    The American mainstream media is undeniably politically left-leaning and as a body what Edmund Burke or Thomas Carlyle would refer to as the “fourth estate” tends to act as handmaiden to the Democrat party.

    Centre right observers in the US naturally notice the bias and they discern one particular trend in the reporting habits of the media.

    The wording and emphasis of news headlines and the tenor of reporting political controversies often follows a pattern that can best be characterised by the phrase “conservatives pounce” or specifically “Republicans pounce”

    Kevin D. Williamson, writing for National Review in 2018 in an article mockingly entitled ‘Conservatives Pounce,’ Again explains:

    A few days ago, I had a conversation with an earnest, left-leaning media executive who bristled a little at the suggestion that his firm was deeply biased. Bring up bias to most Democrat-leaning newspaper editors or mainstream-media executives, and you’ll almost always get the same answer: “I don’t believe we are biased,” or “I don’t see where we are biased.”

    And that is the thing about genuine bias, as opposed to the devious and programmatic shaping of news coverage for partisan ends with malice aforethought: Bias is almost always invisible to the bias-holder. That’s what makes it bias.

    Williamson cites Noah Rothman who wrote an essay in Commentary about a funny rhetorical tick in American political journalism:

    “Republicans pounce!” When a Republican does something stupid or wrong and gets criticised for it, the story is that a Republican has done something stupid or wrong. When a Democrat does something stupid or wrong, the story is “Republicans pounce!” on the episode, cynically looking to wring some petty advantage out of the mess. For those who lean Democrat, that is a much more pleasant story to report.

    And so we turn to the big news of the day in the British press – and indeed the top news event in Europe: As EU country is swamped by 60,000 illegal migrants in 24 hours (Express)

    If that lot all travel north to the Channel coast of France with an eye to entry to the Yookay – “You’re gonna need a bigger boat” – as Chief Martin Brody, played by Roy Scheider, in the 1975 thriller movie Jaws famously remarked. But we digress.

    What we wouldn’t give for a few Giant Whites in the English Channel this summer – I jest of course.

    We were discussing the US left-leaning media’s rhetorical tick ‘conservatives pounce’

    Let’s look at the British press today through this test prism and see who betrays their leftist bias like a nervous stammerer called upon to speak in public and failing to hide his affliction.

    The virtual online-only Indy scarcely seeks to hide its admiration for the EU and its Brexit derangement.

    Migrant crisis as 60,000 storm Spanish border… Fears over impact across Europe as Italy calls for Schengen suspension (Independent)

    Notice how the headline is 60,000 migrants breaking into Spanish territory – but the kicker, so to speak, is the right-leaning prime minister of Italy – who “pounced”

    Dirty Sanchez

    FT Weekend betrays its editorial stance and comes rather close to actually using the ‘pounce’ word:

    Sánchez condemns ‘attack’ on Spain… Alarm in influx of 60,000 migrants… PM rushes to Ceurt… Rightwingers seize on incident (FT)

    ‘Rightwingers seize’ is so near the knuckle, leftist journo playbook style, that I think we should name and shame: Barney Jopson, Madrid & Heba Saleh, Cairo (for some reason) riding tandem on this left-leaning FT lead report.

    The formerly patriotic Times apparently admires free movement and in similar style to the Indy remarks: EU crisis over migrant influx… and yet the close corollary is: …prompting Italy to suspend free movement with Spain (Times)

    in case you were wondering…

    Spain’s PM blames traffickers after 60,000 migrants reach Ceuta from Morocco – Sofia Ferreira Santos and Sarah Rainsford, Southern and Eastern Europe correspondent, BBC. The ladies on tandem side-step the ‘conservatives pounce’ bear trap but bend their headline and reporting to bolster our local Labour party narrative of blame the ‘gangs’ – which Starmer and now Burnham are busy smashing.

    Not to worry, nothing much to see here: As of Friday evening, more than 48,000 people had voluntarily returned to Morocco, Spanish officials said. (BBC)

    Likewise the left-leaning i paper got the socialist message: Spanish PM blames people smugglers for deaths as 60,000 people cross into Ceuta

    Follow the money

    However, the mildly conservative Telegraph explains: Morocco accused of fuelling border mayhem… surge could have served as punishment amid diplomatic frustration with Spain… over pursuit of gas deals with Algeria

    The collapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE was caused by migration, by a catastrophic mismatch between a massive refugee crisis, corrupt border management, and an already strained imperial economy. The Late Antique Migration Period destabilised Rome because the central government could neither assimilate nor expel the massive groups pushed onto its soil by the advancing Huns.

      The police have arrested a Somali man on Lampedusa accused of committing crimes with the armed gang.

      Most of the victims on 3 October were Eritreans and Somalis. Their fishing boat capsized near Lampedusa, a tiny Italian island off North Africa.

      The migrants each paid thousands of dollars to the gang, police said.

    I think we should all be saddened and rather shocked by the Manchester mayoral election result. Sometimes you can’t quite believe what’s happened.

    It isn’t simply that the good folk of Manchester have elected a terribly strange little alphabet creature…blimey she looks and sounds like Dobby from the Harry Potter franchise…No, it’s not that…

    It’s not even that Reform didn’t get close to winning, though they came a respectable second. It’s that 75 % of the Manchester electorate couldn’t even be arsed to vote.

    I mean, it’s not like they weren’t offered a wide range of choices. Labour, Green, Reform, Restore, Lib-Dem, Tory…even an Independent…quite a political spectrum.

    What will it take to shift these idle bovine lumps?
    FFS, in the last few weeks we’ve had a political assassination, continued illegal mass immigration, several terrorist attempts and an unelected PM foist upon us.

    But these lazy bastards couldn’t prise their flabby arses off the sofa to waddle down to the polling station.

    I don’t know who I despise the most…Labour voters

    or those that just can’t be bothered…

      Yes, only 25% bothered to vote in the Manchester Mayoral election. As already suggested there is a very large student vote, there’s also the ethnic Muslim family vote as well as postal votes, mostly for Labour.

      So what happened to the rest? Apathy, a lot of the electorate have lived in the one party state of Manchester for ever, so why bother voting.
      The other major reason is that the large number of benefit households don’t pay Council Tax, they have no stake in the result.

      We have the sight and sound of a triumphant Burham crowing about the result, in my opinion it’s a failure for the Mayoral concept and for Labour.

      What to expect from Bev – no doubt she’ll get some mentoring from Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative like her neighbour Tracy Brabin and her predecessor our An-deh.

    We knew that here would be a Burnham bounce for Labour, after all that is why they put him in No 10 instead of T2K . So it is far too early to get despondent about Labour poll ratings climbing above Reform. In part this is due to the Green bubble being popped. Also Badenoch is doing well fronting for the Tory Globalists and they are also climbing in the polls with Reform losing ground.
    But the prospect of an election in the autumn is growing and the awful prospect of an outright Labour win is now plausible, certainly a left coalition is the most likely outcome. As the Tories recover in the polls the chance of a coalition of the right recedes.
    If there is an autumn election and there is a left coalition or Labour government for five more years the country is stuffed. And who did this to our country ? Why the British people of course , who were too stupid to save themselves when they had the opportunity but chose to push their heads further into the noose!

      Call me cynical but I suspect there’s something Nick Brown about Starmer that they couldn’t allow to detonate under the adenoidal twat sitting PM. Desperate times call for desperate measures and here we are with yer pal An-deh.

      If the vote is as fickle as this, I wouldn’t hold much hope for seriousness in any future election.

    What saddens me is that there is nothing that Labour do to make the country any better. You would think that they would at least try but instead we get high taxes more restrictions on how we live our lives and relentless immigration that is destroying our culture a d way of life.
    High taxes and restrictions on freedom are easy to reverse but when we become a minority in our own country there is nothing that can change it. At that point we are no longer England.

      I’ll say again that if we cannot decisively stop taxpayers money flowing into the Treasury, we have no chance of stopping the communists in their tracks.

    Manchester- number of voters – over 2 million.

    Number who votes Marxist ? 300 000 …

    In their terms this will give an overwhelmining mandate – reform got – I think 120 000 – which I assume is the remaining non invader vote ….

      The BBC lied. NO unvaxxed Amish could have been saved by the Covid vaccine, because none are known to have died of Covid after the Covid vaccine rollout.

      CDC Data on the 344,670 Amish population shows that only 8.5% of the Amish caught Covid in 2020. According to the CDC and the Journal of Plain Anabaptist Communities, only 4 Amish Covid deaths are recorded, all in 2020. The Amish gained herd immunity in 2020, because they all went to Church every day, and did not ‘Lockdown’. Then in 2023, Steve Kirsch offered $2,500 for anyone who could name 5 Amish who died from Covid? The Amish and Healthy people remain unvaccinated.

      However, None-Amish Healthy people had to be locked down in quarantine. Healthy people had to be tested to see if they were positive. Healthy people had to stay six feet apart. Healthy people were forced to get a jab that did not work. Healthy people cannot sue anyone for becoming unhealthy from vaccine injury. Healthy people banged pots and pans for the NHS, but they murdered granny using midazolam and morphine poisoning. The nasty socialists in America still want to force the jab on the super healthy Amish community, while Steve Kirsch is still asking “Can you name five unvaxxed Amish who died from Covid?”.

      Kennedy found that the CDC collected public health data from the Amish communities. But combined the low cases in the Amish data, with the high case load found in the vaccinated none-Amish communities, for each county, in each state. The Amish data for each county was not destroyed, but had to be separated from the vaccinated non-Amish data, showing that only four Amish deaths where recorded by the CDC.

    Is this correct?

    If an immigrant wants to bring in 10 (for example) close family members or some relatives does that mean that these 10 will themselves be able to bring in 10 (for example) relatives and so on with these 10 being able to do the same ad infinitum.

    Any one of the secondary 10 and the rest would probably use human rights to get their 10 in.
    Simply put:
    1 becomes extra 10 which becomes an extra 100, then 1,000 then ………..

    I live in northern France, far enough away from Calais and other departure points. Mrs Voter and I visited some friends of ours the other day, they have lived here about the same length of time we have, about 17 years. They told us that they were returning to the UK in the next couple of months. The had decided that they didn’t want to die in France so would sell up and buy a house in the North of England. Now comes the interesting part, the husband meticulously spent ages on the interweb checking which places up north had the lowest crime figures per capita and the number of dusky skinned people in their chosen area. Research showed him that one of the places that met the requirements was County Durham. I haven’t spoken to him since we saw them, but I would ask how do you feel now that the Socialist government has lifted the ban on buying housing to use housing illegal immigrants, bet the crime rate goes up!

      I live in a small village in County Durham and in the neighbouring larger villages “ethnics” are becoming a regular site. In fact every shop but 1 is run by them even the fish shop. So I would suggest Northern Northumberland Certainly not a town or large village in County Durham. Durham City is now almost totally Chinese and Asian. Brought about by the third world students who frequent the University. I would add that the city itself has almost been destroyed by American style fast foods and ultra modern hotels. Apart from the cathedral and the paths around the river Wear the place is a dump

    According to the BBC this is not happening…

    ‘One year ago, I searched for a tool to track the “Great Replacement”: a site that would compile demographic data from the entire Western world and allow measuring the scale of the changes underway. To my great surprise, nothing of the sort existed. Six months ago, I therefore decided to create it myself.

    Today, I am announcing the launch of the first version of the “Great Replacement Clock.” ‘

    I was a member of the CofE but left many years ago when they ordained David Jenkins as the Bishop of Durham. As far back as then I felt the CofE no longer thought that believing and spreading the writings of the New Testament was important to them.Everything from the Virgin Birth to the resurrection that is the cornerstone of the Christian faith seemed to be frowned upon by the infiltration of Marxist vicars. Then came the ordination of woman and then women bishops and now a woman archbishop and to top it all transvestites. No wonder the CofE is in its death throws. I did not join any other church although I am still a Christian.
    Dr Gavin Ashenden sums up the present state of the CofE much better than anyone I have heard.
