The BBC are wasteful on salaries and notice periods. The BBC do not like Reform or Nigel Farage. The BBC do not like President Trump – they have TDS by the bucket load. The BBC have a Promunciation Unit said to be over 100 staff but ‘deck aids’ (sunloungers & quoits) are common place amongst contributors and presenters alike. Correct pronunciation is ‘dee cades’! The BBC are anti-Israel, pro Hamas with Jezbo slurring Bibi Netanyahu. The BBC do not like Narendra Modi also. The BBC pay their staff too much.
yeah, taffman, when you gotta go you gotta go! Echo your thoughts on the TellyTax. CONFIDENTIAL: Next year I will be eligible for a free Licence. Will the BBC renege on that agreement? Or will the BBC vary the rules on free Licences?

Muslim hiking group founder: Weatherproof prayer mat ‘brilliant’ for community
Wiggle, Adidas Terrex and Muslim Hikers created a prayer mat which is designed to withstand rain and outdoor conditions. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/muslim-adidas-instagram-islamic-coventry-b2311588.html
Mr Mota, who has been an avid hiker for roughly 20 years, wanted to ensure that Muslims had access to a practical prayer mat, which allows them to pray while taking part in outdoor activity – so he teamed up with Adidas Terrex and global sports retailer Wiggle to help create one.
I mentioned before that I am (re)watching the excellent Doc Martin series, 2 x episodes on every Friday night ITV 3.
It’s not contaminated with all this die/woke crap and I’ve not noticed any unnecessary inclusions to the cast of all the types we now find in every drama.
In the later part of the series there’s a little bit of fun being had by the writers as the Doctor (brilliantly played by Martin Clunes) comes into the waiting room and asks for the next patient. Some examples of the patient names he bellows out are: Alice Cooper, Leanne Perrin, Anita Bush and many others giving that little bit of extra.
Highly recommended for all on here.
Andy Burnham has said no rough sleepers after Xmas. I have been seeing videos on YouTube of the people living in tents all over London, including Park Lane. On a previous visit to London there were lots of tents on the Euston Road and the conversations I heard as I walked past were not in English .
Are the councils giving priority to British citizens who have fallen on hard times or is this plan of Burnham’s intended to provide homes for all those people who have arrived here from all over the world? I’m not sure this Burnham promise is what it first appears.
I’ve read a variety of books over the years biographies / autobiographies / factual and fiction – he’s obviously done deep spade work but some of the presentation really irritates me – some of the detail though, and the references to things going on in parallel and the blunt assessment of relationships is what keeps me going back – “idiosyncratic” might be one word…
Dry academic history it is not – but the bursts of unvarnished narrative and opinionated analysis are refreshing when most of what’s been written is rather dull and often highly selective hagiography… Years ago I read Vincent Orange’s “Park” and his Tedder biography Quietly in Command
But yes, he pogos about quite a bit and I get ticked with the awful metaphors…
You’d think the FT might lead with an in-depth report that expands on this theme that constitutes a minor story line in the Times: Borrowing costs rise… UK government debt has hit its highest level in nearly three decades…
Admittedly the pink market watcher’s paper is more globally than parochially focused and this snippet warrants an appearance in their ‘in-other-news’ Briefing column: Bond yield pain for G7… $16bn of extra sovereign debt financing costs due to the rise in bond yields… (FT)
Whereas the Guardian likes to impersonate the Harlem Voice and enjoys any excuse to depict black people in their prominent front page feature photography: Dancing in the streets… Notting Hill carnival’s 60th anniversary
The pink FT front page feature photo meanwhile is “hideously white” (as one harking back to former BBC boss Greg Dyke’s comments in 2002 might observe)
Supporters of the “No” campaign celebrate after Iceland voted against reopening accession talks with the EU last weekend (FT)
I’m guessing the Icelandic “Yes” campaign supporters were equally stale and pale.
Iceland has traditionally been one of the most ethnically homogeneous nations in the world, but it has become increasingly diverse in recent decades… Polish people form the largest ethnic minority, making up roughly 6% of the population. – thank you, A.I., not much chance of a Reykjavík carnival weekend then. Maybe the Icelanders like it that way?
Ah, that magic 52%
Public broadcaster RUV reported that 52.8% of the more than 225,000 people who voted had rejected the government’s proposal, while 47.2% had backed it. Some 12,600 votes separated them. (BBC)
Our BBC needs must walk a fine line to avoid obvious bias but the Brussels Trumpet is obviously discomforted: Cold shoulder… Iceland rejects talks with EU (FT)
I’m oddly reminded of a line from Larry David’s comic TV series Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry sits at a restaurant table and asks the waiter for some off-menu specially prepared item with the proviso: “That’s what I’d really like – But only if the chef doesn’t make a face”
Iceland votes against restarting EU membership talks… (BBC)
One can clearly envisage the FT and our BBC journos making one hell of a face…
Blow to Brussels… Despite US President Donald Trump’s threats against neighbouring Greenland (FT)
Don’t the little Icelanders know the EU is anti-Trump and The Donald is the apex bête noire?
Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir’s centre-left government promised to hold a referendum by 2027, but brought it forward because of international tensions, including US President Donald Trump’s threats against Greenland. (BBC)
Or, on the other hand, is the biggest threat Putin?
Iceland is a founder member of Nato but has no military… (BBC) – that sounds rather similar to the Yookay. I jest of course… sort of… we’ve still got the last vestiges of a military. More ceremonial horses than tanks and more admirals than ships.
Being a part of the EU would have granted it full access to the bloc’s joint defence infrastructure. (BBC) – Oh really?
I thought we were told: David Cameron stated that suggestions of an EU army were “fanciful” and promised that the UK would veto any such proposal (May 2016) – thank you A.I.
Many No voters feared EU membership would mean ceding some control of… lucrative fishing grounds under the bloc’s policies, which control how much a member state can catch. (BBC) – that sounds rather similar to the Yookay’s experience.
I’m oddly reminded of that classic farewell message from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as attributed to the dolphins: “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”
The borrowing / bond issue is definitely hard to get a head around – Liam halligzn – who constantly sees the uk economy as a basket case – looked at France this time – whichbis an even bigger basket case when it comes to state debt .
I wondered how it is allowed – wihin the Reich euro – to borrow s9 much – and whether it can be stopped . Then I thought – who cares ?
More important than that is that the chancellor did not resign from defence ‘on principle ‘ but as part of the burnham plan to replace TTK and give Healey a better pension …. This will be confirmed when he screws the defence budget in the October budget ….
Healey is to state economics what Carol Voorderman is to equity release products.
Sloganeering to obfuscate reality…
Dominic Cummins’s observations about how Cabinet meetings are a simple pantomime comes to mind. I simply don’t see any individuals in the upper political tiers of government that actually has a clue – and that isn’t a good thing at all.
Re: Burnham’s cabinet, every single one of them appears to be depressingly stupid, and lacking in charisma, it is hard to comprehend how such people could ever get elected, let alone ‘selected’ to ‘lead’ the country!!!
A BBC ‘In-Depth’ article (meaning one they really want to dwell on) written by a black clone which is screaming ‘whites are racist’ before you even look at it.
As you already know, it is everybodies fault but their own. Look how desperate she is to infer racism:
‘The UK did not have the same system of formal segregation as the US in the 20th Century. But Alice Dearing, a former Olympic swimmer and co-founder of the BSA, thinks that the US’s history might have reverberated in parts of British culture too. Some black people have “ingrained within themselves to think that they can’t swim”, she says.’
Alice is – of course – black as well.
Just look at how hard Alice had it:
‘At 17, she says a coach used a racial slur about her to another swimmer. She later complained to her swimming club and school but ultimately decided not to take the matter further. “Why am I being victimised for swimming and for being black? It just didn’t make sense,” she says.’
WTF has that got to do with black people being unable to swim BBC ?. And ONE racial slur 12 years ago ??. And what was it ?. People are ‘slurred’ all the time for all kinds of reasons. But when it happens to whitey, nobody cares. Especially anti-white racists such as the BBC.
Then back into racism (though Florence has to go back nearly 60 years to the USA to find the racism she wants) where she tells us:
‘But racial exclusion from pools in some countries, like the United States, helped to create the idea that black people were poor swimmers. In 1974, only a few years after the end of segregation in the US, an article by two white doctors in a respected US medical journal asked: “Can Blacks Float?”.’
So this complete idiot is inferring all black people cannot swim today because two doctors wrote and article in 1974 saying ‘they don’t float very well’ ?. I bet not a single black person in the UK (except racist activists like Florence who will have only just found out while researching) know anything about that or what went on 60 years ago in the USA. Not here.
It’s another truly pathetic and desperate article from the BBC where Florence has searched for other black people to agree with her.
Even ‘traditional’ swimming caps are racist because they don’t cover afro hair properly.
Yet nowhere in this completely apalling article does the author address the enormous elephant in the room. The one which lies at the heart of black culture. The complete lack of parental responsibility.
‘Around 24% to 51% of Black families or households are single parents. In comparison, around 10% to 22% of White families or households are single-parent structures’
Why might that be Florence ?.
Florence cannot swim either. But she went for a lesson as part of this article. It was the first time in over 10 years she had been in the water.
But it’s all whiteys fault isn’t it Florry ?.
The BBC has not produced a specific documentary or article titled “Why White People Can’t Dance.” However, BBC coverage frequently explores the social anxieties, data, and cultural nuances surrounding dancing habits, specifically focusing on the UK and Western populations. – thank you A.I.
JohnC – thank you for the cheery top line . Perhaps the coloureds think water is racist like everything else …. It takes me to the horror to trying to work a dinghy and even back in the 70s they made us do a ‘cold water ‘ rescue course – capsize drills … the horror …
I did that in training at HMS Ganges, near Ipswich. That was part one swimming test, part two was to swim around the ship in a boiler suit. Did that in the New Territories, Hong Kong.
Worth emphasising this article was on the BBC news webshite front page, uncomfortably near the latest news on the Nepal flash flood rescue efforts …….so presumably deemed equally important by the race baiting kidults in the editorial suite.
Jeremy: I say, listen up people, it’s Carnival Weekend as we all know, second only to Pride in its importance. Any news?
Tarquin: Well, there have been several hundred arrests, mainly for possession of drugs and weapons. Quite a few sexual assaults, though Monday is main day for that. Plenty of robberies in nearby streets and violent incidents on Underground routes to Notting Hill. Several hundred photographs of lewd behaviour that people have posted on X and Instagram, some involving children and juveniles.
Jeremy: Good God! I mean, not the Christian God, er, another God, you know what I mean… Tabatha, how shall we handle this? Tabatha? Tabatha…?
Tabatha: Oh, sorry! Miles away, I was texting Daddy about my investment trust. Em… it’s best not to report anything about the Carnival, it only perpetuates racist stereotypes about our most vulnerable communities…
Jeremy: Quite right, well said.
Antonia: Can I make a suggestion? How about using one of the pre-prepared deflection reports? For instance, number 203, this is about why black people aren’t allowed to swim. Or something like that.
Jeremy: I say! Give that girl with blue hair and a Versace summer dress a bottle of champagne! Well done! Now, I’m off to my club for lunch, see you later people…
I can’t for the life of me understand how she cant swim, pair of flotation
bags that big would keep anyone up. Sorry meant to post this under the blacks can’t swim post, does any one remeber Eddie the Eel from the Olympics some time back?
I was going to post something similar earlier but figured a racist, mysogynistic (but true, especially true) comment by an old white fart may nowadays be a crime.
It might be in their dna.
When you consider that just about every river/lake in Africa is full of things which will eat you such as crocodiles and Rhino’s not to mention all the diseases present in the water they are doing the right thing by avoiding going into the water.
Maybe all the ‘swimmers’ have been eaten and only those avoiding the water carried on breeding.
Maybe the reason they are all such excellent runners is because the slower ones get caught and eaten by the lions etc.
Only 169 arrested at Notting Hill on so called children’s day. 7000 police costing £12million over the weekend authorised by midget Khan. How many will get jail time.
I live in Reading, 80,000 had a good time at the Festival, no muggings, stabbings or sexual assaults recorded. Next to no police presence required (paid for by the promoters) A few nicked for drug dealing. Plus we always get a few taxi drivers done for illegally picking up fares by undercover Council enforcers.
Excellent news for investors – the head of the bank of England istan has warned AI will cause a ‘global meltdown ‘ – which suggests investing in the market now because he gets it wrong so much …
Maybe it’s because states are competing against AI to borrow money and further pushing up borrowing costs …
Haven’t they learned any of the lessons from ‘Big Bang’, y’know, when all the computers in the world would blow up and we’d all be sunk? That went well, didn’t it!
Perhaps the investors from that time have all retired with their squillions, and the new lot have been brought up on Excel for Dummies – the colouring book.
‘The mystery of why so many black Britons still can’t swim’
Naturally it’s racism….imported from the US and imbibed by Blacks here who believed the US myth that Blacks can’t swim and so they decided not to even try here….lol. BBC talks some sh*t…that’s a purely made up interpretation.
‘ Racial exclusion from pools in some countries, like the United States, helped to create the idea that black people were poor swimmers. In 1974, only a few years after the end of segregation in the US, an article by two white doctors in a respected US medical journal asked: “Can Blacks Float?”. They concluded that black people were simply less buoyant than white people.
The UK did not have the same system of formal segregation as the US in the 20th Century. But Alice Dearing, a former Olympic swimmer and co-founder of the BSA, thinks that the US’s history might have reverberated in parts of British culture too. Some black people have “ingrained within themselves to think that they can’t swim”, she says.’
And yet…it’s really down to opportunity and parental encouragement….as admitted…
‘For most British children, swimming starts with their family. If parents swim, children grow up seeing the water as something familiar.
But if parents have not learned to swim – as is the case in some black families – then children are less likely to start swimming lessons at a young age.
I come from a family of non-swimmers: I’m one of five siblings and none of us can swim, neither can my parents.
Dearing’s experience was different. Her mother grew up swimming in the ocean in Accra, Ghana. “When she came over to the UK, she was going to make sure all of her children knew how to swim,” she says.
Swimming was passed down in Dearing’s family. In mine, it wasn’t.
For Kevin Hylton, emeritus professor of equality and diversity in sport at Leeds Beckett University, that started with his childhood. “I grew up in a working-class Caribbean family where swimming wasn’t a thing that was done,” he says. “We had almost zero leisure as a family together….”It’s because of class. And also because of location and the proximity to swimming facilities,” he says.’
Ah right…now we get to the truth..class, opportunity and parents’ own ability and preferences.
So why does the BBC always go down the path of racism when it has absolutely nothing to do with it? No white person is stopping a black person from swimming….that’s purely down to them and their own decisions.
Stop spreading hate and division BBC, stop feeding the ‘them and us’ myth that Blacks are taught and believe all too often…and which undoubtedly was part of the motivation for the Southport attacks.
“I grew up in a working-class Caribbean family where swimming wasn’t a thing that was done,”
I’m sorry, I’m just trying to imagine on what Caribbean island, you’re likely to be living too far from the sea to spend an entire childhood, not going and swimming (or at least paddling) in it? Not even once?
So there might be an early General Election called by Burnham. No doubt due to the free ride he’s had since becoming Labour Party leader and PM, and be useful to do before the electorate find out how crap he is.
There might be another reason.
Broadcasters are obliged to present a balanced view of the Political landscape apart from the BBC who should rightly be called the Labour Party Broadcasting Corporation. Early next year Trumps’d defamation claim goes to Court. My judgement is that the BBC will have to settle or lose big time. The damage to the BBC reputation to those that don’t already know they are biased will mean they will lose credibility, Labour will lose the support of their broadcaster. There is also the possibility that the Right will organise themselves so Burnham might want to run the GE early
Small boats data
This page shows figures for the last 7 days for migrants attempting to cross the English Channel in small boats without permission to enter the UK.
If the wind blows too hard, the bird choppers windmill turbines cannot be used and the (mainly foreign) owners receive generous compensation. Perhaps the government should consider paying the people smugglers compensation on days that the Channel is a bit choppy and they cannot ply their trade? Most people would happily pay a bit more tax in the knowledge that it’s going to a good cause.
The Times is even worse than the BBC…far more blatant.
Jenrick writes that giving billions to people with anxiety etc is not generosity but ‘suicidal empathy’
Elon Musk thinks along similar lines…but they don’t want to just cut people off from help but to support them into work and back into ‘life’.
‘It is a strange perversion of compassion to tell a young man with anxiety that he is beyond work.
Rather, under our Return to Work Cover, he’d still be connected to his employer, who would have a strong economic incentive to return him to work. It is based on the Dutch system, where applications for disability benefits fell by 40 per cent.
If he didn’t return to work within two years, he’d go through a single, rigorous Disability Needs Assessment, which would replace today’s overlapping web of failing tests. Conducted in person, by clinicians, it would screen out vexatious and fraudulent claims.
And, for those with lower-level conditions, rather than a cheque, they’d get help. ‘
The Times, in the shape of über lefty Hugo Rifkind, wheeled in someone who is stridently against Jenrick and Musk and who launched a very simplistic and shallow attack on them not explaining the nuances of the real argument but instead going down the usual path…this is basically Nazism and creating fear to demonise immigrants….apparently this is ‘Intelligent discussion of the day’s big stories.’
The BBC also reduced it to the same….’Basically you’re saying we don’t want foreigners coming here’….
[LOL…BBC don’t want you to comment on their bias…’BBC Radio 4 limited who can comment on this post.’…limited? No-one can comment]
This is the Times and BBC spinning a false narrative by not actually engaging with the argument and instead just shouting ‘racist’ or ‘Nazi’.
They are part of the problem that will destroy the Nation…..more suicidal stupidity than empathy….and it is so often done knowingly…they want to destroy ‘Britain’ and replace its society, culture and people.
Delusion in the human species is very powerful – for instance the African leader of the dead blues thinks that shuffling their part of thd uniparty will make any difference to them at all;; ..
Their leader had an easy time in PMQs against the TTK darlek but burnham has that ‘casual ‘ thing to play out … she might appear to be that good ( The truth ) anyway – the real need is to unite the Right and about gifting seat to Marxists and Muslims …
As with migrants in general – our public bodies tasked with dealing with this are scared of them and don't know / won't volunteer how many there are and where they've come from…
As to the groups that are disproportionately troublesome – zero appetite in officialdom to challenge those… unless NIMBY applies.
Commentator Libby Purves on Times suggests Badenoch has to be careful not to be seen as an ‘angry black women’ and may need to change her tone when dealing with Burnham at PMQs….this is of course because the Left have ironically been implying that Badenoch is in fact an angry black woman for her robust statements during PMQs…the Left that normally abhors such a label…though it is one re-invented by them and falsely claimed to be used by a racist Right…it’s a rhetorical trick meant to demonise the Right.
‘Badenoch won’t say sorry for language at fiery Commons session’
Why should she say sorry for speaking truth to Power?
‘During the Commons session, Badenoch said Labour MPs were cheering on Sir Keir Starmer despite there being “400 knives stuck in his back”, with Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle calling for a “little bit more decorum and respect”.
The Conservative leader also suggested many Labour MPs are “traitors and deserters” before branding Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson a “spiteful class warrior”.’
The BBC is of course fine with calling white women ‘Karens’ which is a term of racist and misogynistic abuse…they wouldn’t have ‘lessons in being an ‘angry black woman’ now would they? Not so funny then eh?
And of course we had the infamous BBC podcast that told racist white women ‘Karens’ to shut up, keep silent and get out of the way of Black women.
‘In the segment, Ms Dimoldenberg answered that white women could avoid being Karens by “educating themselves”.
“Read some books so you are aware of the histories of white people and race,” she said.
Dr Riley then replied: “I think as well just try not to be defensive about things, and particularly try not to be defensive about your whiteness.
“I think a lot of the time when women are Karens it is because they are completely unwilling to accept that their whiteness is a privilege and, you know, instead they want to be treated in a special way because they are women.”
She suggested some women “don’t want to interrogate how their behaviour might be racist.”
“I think you have to be ready to think critically about your identity and your privilege,” she added.
“Yeah, and don’t be so loud,” Ms Dimoldenberg agreed.
“Stop shouting and stop attacking black voices,” she continued. “Instead you should be uplifting them.”
“Yeah, get out of the way basically,” Dr Riley laughed.’
No need for a whole new wardrobe and a bit of lippy….just hang on for Polanski to be PM….
‘Give biological men legal right to compete in women’s sport, say Greens
Motion for conference claims current rules rooted in ‘historical colonial and Eurocentric attitudes’ and ‘transmisogyny’
The Green Party would give biological men a legal right to compete in women’s sports under proposals drawn up by its members.’
WTF is ‘transmisogyny’? I think we need a good old fashioned war to clean out the madness and get back to reality….when you’re scrabbling around for food and ducking Russian drones you won’t have time for this crap….but then again with open borders and a welcome for all and sundry why would Putin need a war…just walk in and colonise us….sure Abbott & Co wouldn’t object….probably roll out the red carpet along with the Red Flag.
“Green Party deputy leader Mothin Ali did not sign pro-LGBTQ+ and trans pledges during his 2025 campaign because he avoids pledges from special interest groups”

In it he said: “We will not be silenced. We will raise the voice of Gaza. We will raise the voice of Palestine.” He then went on to shout “Allahu Akbar”, meaning “God is the greatest” in Arabic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-68970097
His remarks prompted calls from the Jewish community in the city for him to be suspended.
Plenty of corruption competition amongst the Marxists – a lawyer minister for injustice claimed £34000 on a fact finding visit to the US during the World Cup – with meeting close to England games …

Burnham renames the English Channel the “Eurasian Channel”, and the Isle of Man and Irish Sea, the “Isle of Woman” and the “Sea of Woman”. North Sea to be renamed the “Dogger Sea”, the “Sea of Dogs” or the “German Sea”. Scotland to be renamed Alba Allah Akbar. Britain to be renamed Albion Allah Akbar.

African uniparty leader sacks her shadow chancellor – now there’s an unknown story … will he land up in Reforn ? Hope not – too many dead tories there already
BBC fail to mention it was Zelensky who started this whole warehouse attack business, burning down numerous Wildberries -the largest Russian online retailer’s – hubs.
Causing Putin to quip:
“Kyiv had opened “Pandora’s box” with its strikes on Russian economic targets, saying that Russia would hit back ”
And he delivered knocking out many warehouses, including food ones , currently causing shortages in Ukraine, not shown by the BBC
BBC keeps calling it – Russia’s full scale invasion – but then act surprised every time it starts looking anything like a proper war.
MI5 says NO Merit-qualified Patriotic-high-IQ British white people or Jews.

I am in North Finchley at the moment, a reasonably expensive area of London suburbia in the borough of Barnet. Mr D and I went for a walk in a local park. In spite of it being a bank holiday it was almost deserted. There were two visitors enjoying the facilities in the middle of the day, 2 large rats. Barnet has been quick to reintroduce the kitchen caddies for food waste and special bins to empty the caddy into. Just the sort of bin that rats would thoroughly enjoy gnawing their way in. I could believe food waste caddies have encouraged the rats.
Who do I blame? I could blame Barnet Council, once very much Conservative territory but now Labour run. I could blame the mayor, the horrible little man who is all too keen on green policies. I could also blame the government. I am not sure whether it is the old Conservative or the Labour government who has reintroduced the waste caddies.
I could believe their use is encouraged by the BBC.
Now that’s curious. I did ask a few comments back….‘How can you backtrack from ‘assassination’ and ‘lynching’ and ‘racist feeding frenzy’?
‘ but it seems you can as the internet is rapidly being scrubbed of certain incendiary words spouted by angry Blacks.
The black Lord Woolley, long time friend of Jason Arday, decried the ‘lynching’ and ‘assassination’ of Arday by savage racists. You could see the video of him saying this immediately after the vigil for Arday. Not so much now. Look on Youtube and the offending words have been edited out in most videos…and indeed I cannot find a BBC report that quotes the violent and incendiary rhetoric. How odd….as others now note…
‘Peer Lord Simon Woolley declared that Arday had been publicly “assassinated” and “lynched” — but the explosive words were conspicuously missing from footage distributed to news organisations by the Press Association.’
But let’s not allow that to be conveniently ‘forgotten’…from Spiked…
‘Simon Woolley, principal at Cambridge’s Homerton College, went even further. He said Arday’s suicide was a ‘lynching’ and a ‘public assassination’. ‘
And…The Spectator…
‘A man stands at a rally in Trafalgar Square, ranting that Jason Arday was murdered in a ‘lynching’ and ‘public assassination’ by ‘rabid wolves’ and ‘dogs of hell’ who had decided that ‘Jason doesn’t deserve to be alive’.
Some rabble-rouser from the lower shallows of race activism? No, or at least not solely. The man who said these inflammatory words is a peer of the realm and the principal of Homerton College, Cambridge: Simon Woolley, Lord Woolley of Woodford. His behaviour at the rally last week, surely unprecedented for someone in those roles, is further evidence that unsuitable appointments at Cambridge did not begin with Jason Arday.’
The good Lord Woolley…it seems he has history with this kind of rhetoric…something he reaches for as a weapon when the going gets tough and reality looms…and his friends are being caught out.
Andrew Gilligan reports that Woolley used almost the same language way back in 2008…‘ He used the same tactics as he has with journalistic critics of Arday, accusing me of trying to murder Jasper with a campaign of lies.’….. as reported by the Guardian…
‘A friend and business associate, Simon Woolley, the national coordinator of Operation Black Vote, says: “The unprecedented coverage, vicious in its content and tone, constitutes a right-wing political assassination attempt of one of the nation’s key black figures.”‘
Curious how the BBC will berate Kemi Badenoch or Boris or Farage for ‘dangerous’ language [which isn’t in anyway] but genuinely inflammatory and dangerous rhetoric by Black leftwing agitators is not reported and is covered up.
This is as far as they will go…
‘Lord Simon Woolley, principal of Homerton College at the University of Cambridge, told the vigil that when he met with Arday last week, the academic told him he felt that critics were “hounding me to death”.’
So not even Woolley’s words but Woolley quoting Arday…and the BBC doesn’t quote the other Black academics, usual suspects, also claiming it was a lynching. The BBC’s favourite black rabble rouser, Kehinde Andrews also called it a lynching…but did the BBC pick up the phone? No…but C4 did…
Odd huh?
Found it on Sky…23 minutes in….Woolley at his finest…still not sure how the police haven’t felt his collar yet…
Apparently there is a festival of books called the reading festival – where some less that gifted ‘performer ‘ shouted their support for Palestine and ‘F Nigel Farage ‘ – which was broadcast live by the bbc and at the time of writing is still on the bbc iPlayer – apparently – i am not a witness to any of this – but the ‘reading festival ‘ might be designated an enemy by the IDF ….
The murder of a senior Reform politician means nothing to these vermin …
David Lammy…not the smartest….infamous for his MasterFool appearance…but he’s also the one who complains about race always being a ‘thing’…whilst he himself never missing an opportunity to racialise everything. He also, as we learnt recently, dropped Burnham in it by connecting him to a fake phone-call from the White House….or am I misidentifying him…could it be some other Black..so hard to tell them apart apparently….
‘A BBC podcast presenter was embroiled in a furious ‘race’ row today after being accused of mixing up two prominent black Tory politicians.
David Yelland posted a story on social media about Tory MP Sir James Cleverly’s move to leave the front benches and run for London mayor, describing him as ‘Liz Truss’s Brexit chancellor’.
But former MP Kwasi Kwarteng was in fact Ms Truss’s chancellor during her short-lived stint as prime minister in 2022.’

The BBC and fellow travellers have always moaned that facial recognition cameras are racist…they wrongly identify Black people…but in fact that’s not true….they also claim the opposite….that the cameras correctly identify Blacks more than they do Whites…this is also racist…
‘Essex Police has used the technology since summer 2024, but the study identified “a potential bias in the positive identification rate” of black people over white people on its watchlist.’
Ironically DEI champions Cambridge University did the study…
‘Essex Police said it commissioned two independent studies into its use of LFR – carried out by the University of Cambridge, external – with one of them indicating the potential bias.
But the report said the system was more likely to correctly identify men than women, and “it was statistically significantly more likely to correctly identify black participants than participants from other ethnic groups”.’
So….the system is more likely to correctly identify a Black suspect..and this is 1. Racist because they will be arrested for a crime whilst many Whites will not be identified…or 2. The system will incorrectly identify a black person more often than a white person as a suspect and this is racism in the system.
You just can’t win….it’s always racist whatever you do.
Anyway…today’s news…
‘Police arrest more revellers on second day of Notting Hill carnival after detaining 243 people on Sunday – including 61 suspects identified on facial recognition cameras’
‘The BBC has broadcast footage of a hip-hop star rapping “f— Nigel Farage” at Reading Festival.
Loyle Carner – one of Sunday’s biggest acts – criticised the Reform UK leader and declared his support for Palestinians during his set on the main stage, which was met with cheers from the crowd.
Halfway through his performance, which is still available to view on BBC iPlayer, Carner rapped the line: “F— Nigel Farage and free Palestine.”’
Looking deeper into the BBC’s report that racism drowns black people…or would that be a lynching or assassination?…and questions arise.
First is why has this report been produced now given that this is in fact a regurgitated study from a year ago broadcast on S4C and on the BBC….
‘A landmark study has debunked the long-held belief that people of African, Caribbean and Asian heritage cannot float due to “heavy bones,” after 93% of participants successfully floated for two minutes following proper instruction.
The study saw a 93% success rate: 89 of 96 participants of African, Caribbean, Asian or mixed heritage floated competently for two minutes.
A new S4C feature documentary accompanies the findings and addresses the “heavy bones” myth on BBC iPlayer.
This finding challenges a persistent myth that has deterred generations from engaging in water-based activities and potentially contributed towards higher drowning rates in these communities.’
So…in whose community does this ‘myth’ exist? It would surely be irrelevant if white people believed it[and I’ve never heard it before]…and if Blacks believe it…surely a jump in the pool would instantly disprove it? Their own fault if they didn’t try it.
And….anyway….Blacks do have a denser bone structure which means they break fewer bones than Whites…but also Blacks have less fat…fat which helps you float….but that doesn’t mean Blacks can’t swim…
‘The results indicated similarities in arm span, trunk flexibility, and full inspiration and exhalation of Black and White subjects. However, there were differences in body fat distribution (P ≤ 0.05) and buoyancies (P ≤ 0.01), with Whites storing more fat and having better buoyancy than Blacks. ‘
Watching the 911 program can’t help but think if the world could engineer the total elimination of the Arabic nations, the World would overnight become a cleaner and safer place.
They just seem to have a vicious hate for every other nation.

The BBC are wasteful on salaries and notice periods. The BBC do not like Reform or Nigel Farage. The BBC do not like President Trump – they have TDS by the bucket load. The BBC have a Promunciation Unit said to be over 100 staff but ‘deck aids’ (sunloungers & quoits) are common place amongst contributors and presenters alike. Correct pronunciation is ‘dee cades’! The BBC are anti-Israel, pro Hamas with Jezbo slurring Bibi Netanyahu. The BBC do not like Narendra Modi also. The BBC pay their staff too much.

The “Population Bomb”? No worries, the megalomaniac man-child in the Whitehouse will stop all that soon…………..
I mentioned before that I am (re)watching the excellent Doc Martin series, 2 x episodes on every Friday night ITV 3.
It’s not contaminated with all this die/woke crap and I’ve not noticed any unnecessary inclusions to the cast of all the types we now find in every drama.
In the later part of the series there’s a little bit of fun being had by the writers as the Doctor (brilliantly played by Martin Clunes) comes into the waiting room and asks for the next patient. Some examples of the patient names he bellows out are: Alice Cooper, Leanne Perrin, Anita Bush and many others giving that little bit of extra.
Highly recommended for all on here.
EG, cannot watch it. The BBC changed the rules on the iPlayer, iirc, at the end of 2016!
Never watched it but I’m inclined to now! Not sure how they got away with Anita Bush, good on them.

Andy Burnham has said no rough sleepers after Xmas. I have been seeing videos on YouTube of the people living in tents all over London, including Park Lane. On a previous visit to London there were lots of tents on the Euston Road and the conversations I heard as I walked past were not in English .
Are the councils giving priority to British citizens who have fallen on hard times or is this plan of Burnham’s intended to provide homes for all those people who have arrived here from all over the world? I’m not sure this Burnham promise is what it first appears.
An acquired taste I suspect ….
But get past the arch-ness and it’s well researched about how the UK state is dysfunctional with few punches pulled
I made it to 10 minutes but the pivot from despots to bomber command to the civil service was ….. poor …..thanks anyway
I know (I think…) what you’re saying…
I’ve read a variety of books over the years biographies / autobiographies / factual and fiction – he’s obviously done deep spade work but some of the presentation really irritates me – some of the detail though, and the references to things going on in parallel and the blunt assessment of relationships is what keeps me going back – “idiosyncratic” might be one word…
Dry academic history it is not – but the bursts of unvarnished narrative and opinionated analysis are refreshing when most of what’s been written is rather dull and often highly selective hagiography… Years ago I read Vincent Orange’s “Park” and his Tedder biography Quietly in Command
But yes, he pogos about quite a bit and I get ticked with the awful metaphors…
Keir who?
You’d think the FT might lead with an in-depth report that expands on this theme that constitutes a minor story line in the Times: Borrowing costs rise… UK government debt has hit its highest level in nearly three decades…
Admittedly the pink market watcher’s paper is more globally than parochially focused and this snippet warrants an appearance in their ‘in-other-news’ Briefing column: Bond yield pain for G7… $16bn of extra sovereign debt financing costs due to the rise in bond yields… (FT)
Whereas the Guardian likes to impersonate the Harlem Voice and enjoys any excuse to depict black people in their prominent front page feature photography: Dancing in the streets… Notting Hill carnival’s 60th anniversary
The pink FT front page feature photo meanwhile is “hideously white” (as one harking back to former BBC boss Greg Dyke’s comments in 2002 might observe)
Supporters of the “No” campaign celebrate after Iceland voted against reopening accession talks with the EU last weekend (FT)
I’m guessing the Icelandic “Yes” campaign supporters were equally stale and pale.
Iceland has traditionally been one of the most ethnically homogeneous nations in the world, but it has become increasingly diverse in recent decades… Polish people form the largest ethnic minority, making up roughly 6% of the population. – thank you, A.I., not much chance of a Reykjavík carnival weekend then. Maybe the Icelanders like it that way?
Ah, that magic 52%
Public broadcaster RUV reported that 52.8% of the more than 225,000 people who voted had rejected the government’s proposal, while 47.2% had backed it. Some 12,600 votes separated them. (BBC)
Our BBC needs must walk a fine line to avoid obvious bias but the Brussels Trumpet is obviously discomforted: Cold shoulder… Iceland rejects talks with EU (FT)
I’m oddly reminded of a line from Larry David’s comic TV series Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry sits at a restaurant table and asks the waiter for some off-menu specially prepared item with the proviso: “That’s what I’d really like – But only if the chef doesn’t make a face”
Iceland votes against restarting EU membership talks… (BBC)
One can clearly envisage the FT and our BBC journos making one hell of a face…
Blow to Brussels… Despite US President Donald Trump’s threats against neighbouring Greenland (FT)
Don’t the little Icelanders know the EU is anti-Trump and The Donald is the apex bête noire?
Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir’s centre-left government promised to hold a referendum by 2027, but brought it forward because of international tensions, including US President Donald Trump’s threats against Greenland. (BBC)
Or, on the other hand, is the biggest threat Putin?
Iceland is a founder member of Nato but has no military… (BBC) – that sounds rather similar to the Yookay. I jest of course… sort of… we’ve still got the last vestiges of a military. More ceremonial horses than tanks and more admirals than ships.
Being a part of the EU would have granted it full access to the bloc’s joint defence infrastructure. (BBC) – Oh really?
I thought we were told: David Cameron stated that suggestions of an EU army were “fanciful” and promised that the UK would veto any such proposal (May 2016) – thank you A.I.
Many No voters feared EU membership would mean ceding some control of… lucrative fishing grounds under the bloc’s policies, which control how much a member state can catch. (BBC) – that sounds rather similar to the Yookay’s experience.
I’m oddly reminded of that classic farewell message from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as attributed to the dolphins: “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”
The borrowing / bond issue is definitely hard to get a head around – Liam halligzn – who constantly sees the uk economy as a basket case – looked at France this time – whichbis an even bigger basket case when it comes to state debt .
I wondered how it is allowed – wihin the Reich euro – to borrow s9 much – and whether it can be stopped . Then I thought – who cares ?
More important than that is that the chancellor did not resign from defence ‘on principle ‘ but as part of the burnham plan to replace TTK and give Healey a better pension …. This will be confirmed when he screws the defence budget in the October budget ….
Healey is to state economics what Carol Voorderman is to equity release products.
Sloganeering to obfuscate reality…
Dominic Cummins’s observations about how Cabinet meetings are a simple pantomime comes to mind. I simply don’t see any individuals in the upper political tiers of government that actually has a clue – and that isn’t a good thing at all.

The mystery of why so many black Britons still can’t swim
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx27vxkpdz1o
A BBC ‘In-Depth’ article (meaning one they really want to dwell on) written by a black clone which is screaming ‘whites are racist’ before you even look at it.
As you already know, it is everybodies fault but their own. Look how desperate she is to infer racism:
‘The UK did not have the same system of formal segregation as the US in the 20th Century. But Alice Dearing, a former Olympic swimmer and co-founder of the BSA, thinks that the US’s history might have reverberated in parts of British culture too. Some black people have “ingrained within themselves to think that they can’t swim”, she says.’
Alice is – of course – black as well.
Just look at how hard Alice had it:
‘At 17, she says a coach used a racial slur about her to another swimmer. She later complained to her swimming club and school but ultimately decided not to take the matter further. “Why am I being victimised for swimming and for being black? It just didn’t make sense,” she says.’
WTF has that got to do with black people being unable to swim BBC ?. And ONE racial slur 12 years ago ??. And what was it ?. People are ‘slurred’ all the time for all kinds of reasons. But when it happens to whitey, nobody cares. Especially anti-white racists such as the BBC.
Then back into racism (though Florence has to go back nearly 60 years to the USA to find the racism she wants) where she tells us:
‘But racial exclusion from pools in some countries, like the United States, helped to create the idea that black people were poor swimmers. In 1974, only a few years after the end of segregation in the US, an article by two white doctors in a respected US medical journal asked: “Can Blacks Float?”.’
So this complete idiot is inferring all black people cannot swim today because two doctors wrote and article in 1974 saying ‘they don’t float very well’ ?. I bet not a single black person in the UK (except racist activists like Florence who will have only just found out while researching) know anything about that or what went on 60 years ago in the USA. Not here.
It’s another truly pathetic and desperate article from the BBC where Florence has searched for other black people to agree with her.
Even ‘traditional’ swimming caps are racist because they don’t cover afro hair properly.
Yet nowhere in this completely apalling article does the author address the enormous elephant in the room. The one which lies at the heart of black culture. The complete lack of parental responsibility.
‘Around 24% to 51% of Black families or households are single parents. In comparison, around 10% to 22% of White families or households are single-parent structures’
Why might that be Florence ?.
Florence cannot swim either. But she went for a lesson as part of this article. It was the first time in over 10 years she had been in the water.
But it’s all whiteys fault isn’t it Florry ?.
The BBC has not produced a specific documentary or article titled “Why White People Can’t Dance.” However, BBC coverage frequently explores the social anxieties, data, and cultural nuances surrounding dancing habits, specifically focusing on the UK and Western populations. – thank you A.I.
JohnC – thank you for the cheery top line . Perhaps the coloureds think water is racist like everything else …. It takes me to the horror to trying to work a dinghy and even back in the 70s they made us do a ‘cold water ‘ rescue course – capsize drills … the horror …
Jumping off the high board with a par of stripy jammy bottoms, legs tied at the ends…
I did that in training at HMS Ganges, near Ipswich. That was part one swimming test, part two was to swim around the ship in a boiler suit. Did that in the New Territories, Hong Kong.
Worth emphasising this article was on the BBC news webshite front page, uncomfortably near the latest news on the Nepal flash flood rescue efforts …….so presumably deemed equally important by the race baiting kidults in the editorial suite.
BBC Editorial Department Meeting…
Jeremy: I say, listen up people, it’s Carnival Weekend as we all know, second only to Pride in its importance. Any news?
Tarquin: Well, there have been several hundred arrests, mainly for possession of drugs and weapons. Quite a few sexual assaults, though Monday is main day for that. Plenty of robberies in nearby streets and violent incidents on Underground routes to Notting Hill. Several hundred photographs of lewd behaviour that people have posted on X and Instagram, some involving children and juveniles.
Jeremy: Good God! I mean, not the Christian God, er, another God, you know what I mean… Tabatha, how shall we handle this? Tabatha? Tabatha…?
Tabatha: Oh, sorry! Miles away, I was texting Daddy about my investment trust. Em… it’s best not to report anything about the Carnival, it only perpetuates racist stereotypes about our most vulnerable communities…
Jeremy: Quite right, well said.
Antonia: Can I make a suggestion? How about using one of the pre-prepared deflection reports? For instance, number 203, this is about why black people aren’t allowed to swim. Or something like that.
Jeremy: I say! Give that girl with blue hair and a Versace summer dress a bottle of champagne! Well done! Now, I’m off to my club for lunch, see you later people…
it’s Carnival Weekend as we all know, second only to Pride
Not much live reporting I reckon – that’s too risky, so save things for a series of selective, gushing summaries…

bags that big would keep anyone up. Sorry meant to post this under the blacks can’t swim post, does any one remeber Eddie the Eel from the Olympics some time back?
I was going to post something similar earlier but figured a racist, mysogynistic (but true, especially true) comment by an old white fart may nowadays be a crime.
We’ll do time together if they can catch us. I fancy a free trip to Blighty!

It might be in their dna.
When you consider that just about every river/lake in Africa is full of things which will eat you such as crocodiles and Rhino’s not to mention all the diseases present in the water they are doing the right thing by avoiding going into the water.
Maybe all the ‘swimmers’ have been eaten and only those avoiding the water carried on breeding.
Maybe the reason they are all such excellent runners is because the slower ones get caught and eaten by the lions etc.
Or maybe this is all a load of rubbish.
Only 169 arrested at Notting Hill on so called children’s day. 7000 police costing £12million over the weekend authorised by midget Khan. How many will get jail time.
I live in Reading, 80,000 had a good time at the Festival, no muggings, stabbings or sexual assaults recorded. Next to no police presence required (paid for by the promoters) A few nicked for drug dealing. Plus we always get a few taxi drivers done for illegally picking up fares by undercover Council enforcers.
As we read /write plod will be sitting in front of their crime reports writing them off …. No crime at Notting Hill … let’s hope it rains a lot …
Excellent news for investors – the head of the bank of England istan has warned AI will cause a ‘global meltdown ‘ – which suggests investing in the market now because he gets it wrong so much …
Maybe it’s because states are competing against AI to borrow money and further pushing up borrowing costs …
Haven’t they learned any of the lessons from ‘Big Bang’, y’know, when all the computers in the world would blow up and we’d all be sunk? That went well, didn’t it!
Perhaps the investors from that time have all retired with their squillions, and the new lot have been brought up on Excel for Dummies – the colouring book.
The answer to Black people not swimming is clear.
Force them to learn. Stop the benefits if the don’t.
After all, its for their own good.
BBC ‘Out of Their Depth’….asks…
‘The mystery of why so many black Britons still can’t swim’
Naturally it’s racism….imported from the US and imbibed by Blacks here who believed the US myth that Blacks can’t swim and so they decided not to even try here….lol. BBC talks some sh*t…that’s a purely made up interpretation.
‘ Racial exclusion from pools in some countries, like the United States, helped to create the idea that black people were poor swimmers. In 1974, only a few years after the end of segregation in the US, an article by two white doctors in a respected US medical journal asked: “Can Blacks Float?”. They concluded that black people were simply less buoyant than white people.
The UK did not have the same system of formal segregation as the US in the 20th Century. But Alice Dearing, a former Olympic swimmer and co-founder of the BSA, thinks that the US’s history might have reverberated in parts of British culture too. Some black people have “ingrained within themselves to think that they can’t swim”, she says.’
And yet…it’s really down to opportunity and parental encouragement….as admitted…
‘For most British children, swimming starts with their family. If parents swim, children grow up seeing the water as something familiar.
But if parents have not learned to swim – as is the case in some black families – then children are less likely to start swimming lessons at a young age.
I come from a family of non-swimmers: I’m one of five siblings and none of us can swim, neither can my parents.
Dearing’s experience was different. Her mother grew up swimming in the ocean in Accra, Ghana. “When she came over to the UK, she was going to make sure all of her children knew how to swim,” she says.
Swimming was passed down in Dearing’s family. In mine, it wasn’t.
For Kevin Hylton, emeritus professor of equality and diversity in sport at Leeds Beckett University, that started with his childhood. “I grew up in a working-class Caribbean family where swimming wasn’t a thing that was done,” he says. “We had almost zero leisure as a family together….”It’s because of class. And also because of location and the proximity to swimming facilities,” he says.’
Ah right…now we get to the truth..class, opportunity and parents’ own ability and preferences.
So why does the BBC always go down the path of racism when it has absolutely nothing to do with it? No white person is stopping a black person from swimming….that’s purely down to them and their own decisions.
Stop spreading hate and division BBC, stop feeding the ‘them and us’ myth that Blacks are taught and believe all too often…and which undoubtedly was part of the motivation for the Southport attacks.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx27vxkpdz1o
“I grew up in a working-class Caribbean family where swimming wasn’t a thing that was done,”
I’m sorry, I’m just trying to imagine on what Caribbean island, you’re likely to be living too far from the sea to spend an entire childhood, not going and swimming (or at least paddling) in it? Not even once?
So there might be an early General Election called by Burnham. No doubt due to the free ride he’s had since becoming Labour Party leader and PM, and be useful to do before the electorate find out how crap he is.
There might be another reason.
Broadcasters are obliged to present a balanced view of the Political landscape apart from the BBC who should rightly be called the Labour Party Broadcasting Corporation. Early next year Trumps’d defamation claim goes to Court. My judgement is that the BBC will have to settle or lose big time. The damage to the BBC reputation to those that don’t already know they are biased will mean they will lose credibility, Labour will lose the support of their broadcaster. There is also the possibility that the Right will organise themselves so Burnham might want to run the GE early

– wonder why that is…
The Times is even worse than the BBC…far more blatant.
Jenrick writes that giving billions to people with anxiety etc is not generosity but ‘suicidal empathy’
Elon Musk thinks along similar lines…but they don’t want to just cut people off from help but to support them into work and back into ‘life’.
‘It is a strange perversion of compassion to tell a young man with anxiety that he is beyond work.
Rather, under our Return to Work Cover, he’d still be connected to his employer, who would have a strong economic incentive to return him to work. It is based on the Dutch system, where applications for disability benefits fell by 40 per cent.
If he didn’t return to work within two years, he’d go through a single, rigorous Disability Needs Assessment, which would replace today’s overlapping web of failing tests. Conducted in person, by clinicians, it would screen out vexatious and fraudulent claims.
And, for those with lower-level conditions, rather than a cheque, they’d get help. ‘
The Times, in the shape of über lefty Hugo Rifkind, wheeled in someone who is stridently against Jenrick and Musk and who launched a very simplistic and shallow attack on them not explaining the nuances of the real argument but instead going down the usual path…this is basically Nazism and creating fear to demonise immigrants….apparently this is ‘Intelligent discussion of the day’s big stories.’
The BBC also reduced it to the same….’Basically you’re saying we don’t want foreigners coming here’….

[LOL…BBC don’t want you to comment on their bias…’BBC Radio 4 limited who can comment on this post.’…limited? No-one can comment]
This is the Times and BBC spinning a false narrative by not actually engaging with the argument and instead just shouting ‘racist’ or ‘Nazi’.
They are part of the problem that will destroy the Nation…..more suicidal stupidity than empathy….and it is so often done knowingly…they want to destroy ‘Britain’ and replace its society, culture and people.
Looked at Graham Linehan’s X feed
Delusion in the human species is very powerful – for instance the African leader of the dead blues thinks that shuffling their part of thd uniparty will make any difference to them at all;; ..
Their leader had an easy time in PMQs against the TTK darlek but burnham has that ‘casual ‘ thing to play out … she might appear to be that good ( The truth ) anyway – the real need is to unite the Right and about gifting seat to Marxists and Muslims …
Traveller problem hits the MSM…
As with migrants in general – our public bodies tasked with dealing with this are scared of them and don't know / won't volunteer how many there are and where they've come from…
As to the groups that are disproportionately troublesome – zero appetite in officialdom to challenge those… unless NIMBY applies.
Commentator Libby Purves on Times suggests Badenoch has to be careful not to be seen as an ‘angry black women’ and may need to change her tone when dealing with Burnham at PMQs….this is of course because the Left have ironically been implying that Badenoch is in fact an angry black woman for her robust statements during PMQs…the Left that normally abhors such a label…though it is one re-invented by them and falsely claimed to be used by a racist Right…it’s a rhetorical trick meant to demonise the Right.
‘Badenoch won’t say sorry for language at fiery Commons session’
Why should she say sorry for speaking truth to Power?
‘During the Commons session, Badenoch said Labour MPs were cheering on Sir Keir Starmer despite there being “400 knives stuck in his back”, with Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle calling for a “little bit more decorum and respect”.
The Conservative leader also suggested many Labour MPs are “traitors and deserters” before branding Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson a “spiteful class warrior”.’
The BBC is of course fine with calling white women ‘Karens’ which is a term of racist and misogynistic abuse…they wouldn’t have ‘lessons in being an ‘angry black woman’ now would they? Not so funny then eh?
And of course we had the infamous BBC podcast that told racist white women ‘Karens’ to shut up, keep silent and get out of the way of Black women.
‘In the segment, Ms Dimoldenberg answered that white women could avoid being Karens by “educating themselves”.
“Read some books so you are aware of the histories of white people and race,” she said.
Dr Riley then replied: “I think as well just try not to be defensive about things, and particularly try not to be defensive about your whiteness.
“I think a lot of the time when women are Karens it is because they are completely unwilling to accept that their whiteness is a privilege and, you know, instead they want to be treated in a special way because they are women.”
She suggested some women “don’t want to interrogate how their behaviour might be racist.”
“I think you have to be ready to think critically about your identity and your privilege,” she added.
“Yeah, and don’t be so loud,” Ms Dimoldenberg agreed.
“Stop shouting and stop attacking black voices,” she continued. “Instead you should be uplifting them.”
“Yeah, get out of the way basically,” Dr Riley laughed.’
BeeBeeSeeFwee was supposed to have been euthanised / put out of its misery a decade ago?
No need for a whole new wardrobe and a bit of lippy….just hang on for Polanski to be PM….
‘Give biological men legal right to compete in women’s sport, say Greens
Motion for conference claims current rules rooted in ‘historical colonial and Eurocentric attitudes’ and ‘transmisogyny’
The Green Party would give biological men a legal right to compete in women’s sports under proposals drawn up by its members.’
WTF is ‘transmisogyny’? I think we need a good old fashioned war to clean out the madness and get back to reality….when you’re scrabbling around for food and ducking Russian drones you won’t have time for this crap….but then again with open borders and a welcome for all and sundry why would Putin need a war…just walk in and colonise us….sure Abbott & Co wouldn’t object….probably roll out the red carpet along with the Red Flag.
“Green Party deputy leader Mothin Ali did not sign pro-LGBTQ+ and trans pledges during his 2025 campaign because he avoids pledges from special interest groups”

In it he said: “We will not be silenced. We will raise the voice of Gaza. We will raise the voice of Palestine.” He then went on to shout “Allahu Akbar”, meaning “God is the greatest” in Arabic.

His remarks prompted calls from the Jewish community in the city for him to be suspended.
Plenty of corruption competition amongst the Marxists – a lawyer minister for injustice claimed £34000 on a fact finding visit to the US during the World Cup – with meeting close to England games …
Then the green minister sending her 3 darlings to private school costing around £30 x 3 =£90 000 a year with her hedge fund £husband £ ….
Burnham renames Strait of Dover, “Strait of Islam”.
Trump renames Lake Ontario, “Lake America”.
Fanny Buller is pretty reticent about hubby’s actual hedge fund gig ain’t she?
The obvious question – has he derived any benefit from being Labour Party adjacent?
Pelloci 2
More like Dire Straits.
Burnham renames the English Channel the “Eurasian Channel”, and the Isle of Man and Irish Sea, the “Isle of Woman” and the “Sea of Woman”. North Sea to be renamed the “Dogger Sea”, the “Sea of Dogs” or the “German Sea”. Scotland to be renamed Alba Allah Akbar. Britain to be renamed Albion Allah Akbar.

“Russian strikes destroy 12 million books ahead of Ukraine’s first week back at school”

Big bad Russians are coming for the books again…
BBC fail to mention it was Zelensky who started this whole warehouse attack business, burning down numerous Wildberries -the largest Russian online retailer’s – hubs.
Causing Putin to quip:
“Kyiv had opened “Pandora’s box” with its strikes on Russian economic targets, saying that Russia would hit back ”
And he delivered knocking out many warehouses, including food ones , currently causing shortages in Ukraine, not shown by the BBC
BBC keeps calling it – Russia’s full scale invasion – but then act surprised every time it starts looking anything like a proper war.

I am in North Finchley at the moment, a reasonably expensive area of London suburbia in the borough of Barnet. Mr D and I went for a walk in a local park. In spite of it being a bank holiday it was almost deserted. There were two visitors enjoying the facilities in the middle of the day, 2 large rats. Barnet has been quick to reintroduce the kitchen caddies for food waste and special bins to empty the caddy into. Just the sort of bin that rats would thoroughly enjoy gnawing their way in. I could believe food waste caddies have encouraged the rats.
Who do I blame? I could blame Barnet Council, once very much Conservative territory but now Labour run. I could blame the mayor, the horrible little man who is all too keen on green policies. I could also blame the government. I am not sure whether it is the old Conservative or the Labour government who has reintroduced the waste caddies.
I could believe their use is encouraged by the BBC.
I lived in Woodside Park for a while late 80s, nice area. Not sure if I’d go there now.
1920s terraced houses in Woodside Park are just over £1,000,000. Doesn’t stop the rats.
Now that’s curious. I did ask a few comments back….‘How can you backtrack from ‘assassination’ and ‘lynching’ and ‘racist feeding frenzy’?
‘ but it seems you can as the internet is rapidly being scrubbed of certain incendiary words spouted by angry Blacks.
The black Lord Woolley, long time friend of Jason Arday, decried the ‘lynching’ and ‘assassination’ of Arday by savage racists. You could see the video of him saying this immediately after the vigil for Arday. Not so much now. Look on Youtube and the offending words have been edited out in most videos…and indeed I cannot find a BBC report that quotes the violent and incendiary rhetoric. How odd….as others now note…
‘Peer Lord Simon Woolley declared that Arday had been publicly “assassinated” and “lynched” — but the explosive words were conspicuously missing from footage distributed to news organisations by the Press Association.’
But let’s not allow that to be conveniently ‘forgotten’…from Spiked…
‘Simon Woolley, principal at Cambridge’s Homerton College, went even further. He said Arday’s suicide was a ‘lynching’ and a ‘public assassination’. ‘
And…The Spectator…
‘A man stands at a rally in Trafalgar Square, ranting that Jason Arday was murdered in a ‘lynching’ and ‘public assassination’ by ‘rabid wolves’ and ‘dogs of hell’ who had decided that ‘Jason doesn’t deserve to be alive’.
Some rabble-rouser from the lower shallows of race activism? No, or at least not solely. The man who said these inflammatory words is a peer of the realm and the principal of Homerton College, Cambridge: Simon Woolley, Lord Woolley of Woodford. His behaviour at the rally last week, surely unprecedented for someone in those roles, is further evidence that unsuitable appointments at Cambridge did not begin with Jason Arday.’
The good Lord Woolley…it seems he has history with this kind of rhetoric…something he reaches for as a weapon when the going gets tough and reality looms…and his friends are being caught out.
Andrew Gilligan reports that Woolley used almost the same language way back in 2008…‘ He used the same tactics as he has with journalistic critics of Arday, accusing me of trying to murder Jasper with a campaign of lies.’….. as reported by the Guardian…
‘A friend and business associate, Simon Woolley, the national coordinator of Operation Black Vote, says: “The unprecedented coverage, vicious in its content and tone, constitutes a right-wing political assassination attempt of one of the nation’s key black figures.”‘
Curious how the BBC will berate Kemi Badenoch or Boris or Farage for ‘dangerous’ language [which isn’t in anyway] but genuinely inflammatory and dangerous rhetoric by Black leftwing agitators is not reported and is covered up.
This is as far as they will go…
‘Lord Simon Woolley, principal of Homerton College at the University of Cambridge, told the vigil that when he met with Arday last week, the academic told him he felt that critics were “hounding me to death”.’
So not even Woolley’s words but Woolley quoting Arday…and the BBC doesn’t quote the other Black academics, usual suspects, also claiming it was a lynching. The BBC’s favourite black rabble rouser, Kehinde Andrews also called it a lynching…but did the BBC pick up the phone? No…but C4 did…
Odd huh?
Found it on Sky…23 minutes in….Woolley at his finest…still not sure how the police haven’t felt his collar yet…
Apparently there is a festival of books called the reading festival – where some less that gifted ‘performer ‘ shouted their support for Palestine and ‘F Nigel Farage ‘ – which was broadcast live by the bbc and at the time of writing is still on the bbc iPlayer – apparently – i am not a witness to any of this – but the ‘reading festival ‘ might be designated an enemy by the IDF ….

In a Lammy “never find a policeman” moment, berk Berk Bell probably doesn’t know this government’s economic indicators are way worse than Truss.
It’s not the scuffers he’s unaware of, most everything goes over his head.
David Lammy…not the smartest….infamous for his MasterFool appearance…but he’s also the one who complains about race always being a ‘thing’…whilst he himself never missing an opportunity to racialise everything. He also, as we learnt recently, dropped Burnham in it by connecting him to a fake phone-call from the White House….or am I misidentifying him…could it be some other Black..so hard to tell them apart apparently….
‘A BBC podcast presenter was embroiled in a furious ‘race’ row today after being accused of mixing up two prominent black Tory politicians.
David Yelland posted a story on social media about Tory MP Sir James Cleverly’s move to leave the front benches and run for London mayor, describing him as ‘Liz Truss’s Brexit chancellor’.
But former MP Kwasi Kwarteng was in fact Ms Truss’s chancellor during her short-lived stint as prime minister in 2022.’

So how come the Coloured folk of Notting Hill are allowed to drop rubbish by the tonne load onto the streets.
And get away with it.
Hard not to laugh.
The BBC and fellow travellers have always moaned that facial recognition cameras are racist…they wrongly identify Black people…but in fact that’s not true….they also claim the opposite….that the cameras correctly identify Blacks more than they do Whites…this is also racist…
‘Essex Police has used the technology since summer 2024, but the study identified “a potential bias in the positive identification rate” of black people over white people on its watchlist.’
Ironically DEI champions Cambridge University did the study…
‘Essex Police said it commissioned two independent studies into its use of LFR – carried out by the University of Cambridge, external – with one of them indicating the potential bias.
But the report said the system was more likely to correctly identify men than women, and “it was statistically significantly more likely to correctly identify black participants than participants from other ethnic groups”.’
So….the system is more likely to correctly identify a Black suspect..and this is 1. Racist because they will be arrested for a crime whilst many Whites will not be identified…or 2. The system will incorrectly identify a black person more often than a white person as a suspect and this is racism in the system.
You just can’t win….it’s always racist whatever you do.
Anyway…today’s news…
‘Police arrest more revellers on second day of Notting Hill carnival after detaining 243 people on Sunday – including 61 suspects identified on facial recognition cameras’
Funny how the BBC et al look away….years and years and years of it….
They never learn…or just don’t care….
‘The BBC has broadcast footage of a hip-hop star rapping “f— Nigel Farage” at Reading Festival.
Loyle Carner – one of Sunday’s biggest acts – criticised the Reform UK leader and declared his support for Palestinians during his set on the main stage, which was met with cheers from the crowd.
Halfway through his performance, which is still available to view on BBC iPlayer, Carner rapped the line: “F— Nigel Farage and free Palestine.”’
Looking deeper into the BBC’s report that racism drowns black people…or would that be a lynching or assassination?…and questions arise.
First is why has this report been produced now given that this is in fact a regurgitated study from a year ago broadcast on S4C and on the BBC….
‘A landmark study has debunked the long-held belief that people of African, Caribbean and Asian heritage cannot float due to “heavy bones,” after 93% of participants successfully floated for two minutes following proper instruction.
The study saw a 93% success rate: 89 of 96 participants of African, Caribbean, Asian or mixed heritage floated competently for two minutes.
A new S4C feature documentary accompanies the findings and addresses the “heavy bones” myth on BBC iPlayer.
This finding challenges a persistent myth that has deterred generations from engaging in water-based activities and potentially contributed towards higher drowning rates in these communities.’
So…in whose community does this ‘myth’ exist? It would surely be irrelevant if white people believed it[and I’ve never heard it before]…and if Blacks believe it…surely a jump in the pool would instantly disprove it? Their own fault if they didn’t try it.
And….anyway….Blacks do have a denser bone structure which means they break fewer bones than Whites…but also Blacks have less fat…fat which helps you float….but that doesn’t mean Blacks can’t swim…
‘The results indicated similarities in arm span, trunk flexibility, and full inspiration and exhalation of Black and White subjects. However, there were differences in body fat distribution (P ≤ 0.05) and buoyancies (P ≤ 0.01), with Whites storing more fat and having better buoyancy than Blacks. ‘

And if Black people could swim…they’d never have been slaves…..
Hells teeth…. How many more of these “unfair to blacks” shit articles have we got to endure?
Time they all grew up and got a back bone!
