    This year I only went to the Proms once. I am not exactly sure that I expected a prom of Marvin Gaye music or Disney. And however much the world might miss Dolly, I understand she wasn’t forgotten on the Last Night.

    In my youth I would get a season ticket. I went every night. Sometimes I liked the music, and sometimes I didn’t. I found I quite liked Wagner and even Stravinsky neither of whom fitted in with the early music I still enjoy to this day.
    I didn’t see anybody in the audience in 2026 who wasn’t white, maybe the ethnic minorities were at the Marvin Gaye, but then it wasn’t stretching their interests.
    And I do miss there no longer being a Gilbert and Sullivan night.

      Debs, top girl! You have to go for three-in-row now! Echo your feeling about the Proms. I never went every night only occasionally when I was living in London. As to the music it is good to be challenged by another composer ….

      Here’s to you remembering when Fed puts up the Midweek Thread!

      Just to make it clear, the prom I went to was neither the Marvin Gaye nor the Disney. I fear on rereading my first comment, people might misunderstand, although I guess the people here might know me better than that.

    My second post isn’t BBC. I know that the assisted suicide bill had supporters for and against which didn’t follow political allegiance.

    As I switched on GBNews this evening, I heard Rabbi Jonathan Romain on Free Speech National. What I heard him say made my blood run cold. It was his certainty that we haven’t heard the last of the determination for the bill to come before Parliament again. Whatever your view of assisted killing (my observation is that whatever safeguards are introduced the bar for killing gets lowered very quickly), it is the Left that never accepts a majority view if it doesn’t fit their agenda).

        The traditional (dead tree) press / media have shrivelled – newspapers are down 90% over 2 decades – it’s not clear that there has been a compensating increase in “eyes on phones” – print titles are going to fail and disappear – there’s the underlying motivation the rush to control alternate information delivery ….

        People now don’t trust newspapers / traditional broadcasters as they’ve repeatedly shown themselves to be unworthy of trust.

        Propaganda dissemination got a lot harder ….

    Welcome to the Humiliation Phase….

    For several decades the BBC has chosen to illustrate articles on its website with a disproportionate number of ethnic minorities. Initially they would try to justify this by saying that Britain is a multiracial and multicultural society and they are merely reflecting that; however, now they feel no such compulsion. Today they are reporting about changes to school meals. The lead photo features three children of South Asian heritage. We then have a photo of the headmistress of a school in Birmingham, called Farzana Ahmed. Just to make sure you get the message, we then hear from ‘Newly-eligible parent Kinza (Butt) who is delighted her children can now have free school dinners’, wearing a headscarf of course.

    Last week the BBC carried a report on how educational standards are allegedly improving in England, illustrated with a picture of three black boys. These boys were sharply in focus, whilst in the background were some White boys, out of focus to emphasise their unimportance. Some might ask: do the races self-segregate in this manner (and if so, why) or was this because the photo was staged?

    What is going on here is that the BBC is increasingly moving towards reporting that features ethnic minorities exclusively. The intention is to promote a vision of Britain – well, Yookay – which excludes the native population altogether. This is intended as a form of humiliation: White Britons are held in such contempt by the establishment that they are no longer worthy of any representation whatsoever. Alternatively: it’s not your country and you don’t belong here any more.

    We’ve heard all the railway excuses – late running, leaves on the line, wrong type of snow…

    Wrong type of drone?

    Scare in Ukraine… Boris flees Vlad drone blitz – frets the tabloid Sun. Our BBC liked that one and clipped the Sun’s baby-boomer generation-flavoured screamer for their print press header. Cut n paste like Jamie Reid’s Never Mind The Bollocks garish ransom note-style typography for his seminal punk rock album cover.

    (There’s one for the teenagers – just think – were Denis Norden still around hosting his former nostalgia-based panel game show Looks Familiar – forget Arthur Askey’s antics – he might now be asking questions like: “Who called Bill Grundy a ‘dirty fucker’ on live tv in 1976 – was it: a. John Lydon; b. Steve Jones; or c. Siouxsie Banshee?”)

    But oh, how our media will dearly miss that generational cohort so hopelessly steeped in WW2 lore and terminology.

    To think there may one day come a day when following a domestic gas boiler minor explosion in Godalming or a severe car backfire in Guildford our journos won’t ever again find some passer-by old biddy to remark: “It was just like the blitz”

    Instead, prompted for the appropriate mid-twentieth century nazi analogy the typical member of the public might reply: “Blitz? Was that the legendary London New Romantic night club that spawned acts such as Spandau Ballet and Boy George?”

    Or more likely the reply to the cub reporter on the typical suburban British street would be: “majhe samajh nihen aa raha.” (I don’t understand – in phonetic Urdu)

    I say wrong type of drone at the top of today’s edition because apparently this wasn’t one of our good British drones or missiles helpfully supplied to Zelensky – this one was Russian – and evidently it’s just not cricket for the Ruskies to fight back.

    Watch: Why a Russian strike on train near Ukraine-Poland border could mark an escalation – remarks BBC’s James Landale, rather complacently.

    These warmongers of ours – turns out they don’t like it up ’em (as corporal Jones might observe).

    Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson was caught up in a major security scare in Ukraine yesterday (Sun)

    Did Putin drone target Boris and top security officials? – prompts the ever-excitable Daily Mail

    ‘In these train attacks, we see the bared teeth of a cornered rat’ (Express) – our Boris always did enjoy aping the rhetoric of a latter-day Winston. (Did you know Churchill was last ever Englishman to be named Winston?)

    “Cornered rat” you say…?

    Civilians told to flee Ukraine’s fortress cities as Russia bids to control Donbas… forced evacuations of families with children have already begun… Kramatorsk and Slovyansk are now the main focus of Russian ground assaults, and residents are being told to leave. (Vitaly Shevchenko, Chief analyst, BBC Monitoring, 11 September 2026)

    Ukraine’s battlefield optimism is ebbing as Russia threatens its ‘fortress belt’ (CNN, 9 September)

    Oh, I don’t know about that, Ukrainian propaganda aimed at the west is still pretty bullish – if somewhat wishful: Ukraine seizes back initiative near Lyman, disrupts Russia’s Donbas plans (The New Voice of Ukraine)

    There appears to be a growing correlation between how badly things are going on the ground and the ever more intense banging of the war drum here at home…

    Explosion at Ukraine border rail station was ‘Mafia style message straight from the Kremlin’, say experts (Mail)

    If that was like a severed horse head in the bed… What was this then… a chocolate treat placed on Putin’s pillow? The UK commits £100 million to air defence package including Patriot missiles to help Ukraine (Gov.UK); The UK is set to hand over blueprints for its British-French designed Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine (BBC)

    Turns out there are some things the Russians are rather good at.

    Fighting to recover what they see as their own home territory… and espionage, for example…

    Nato swipes right

    Alarm at Nato officer’s affair with ‘Russian spy’… woman he met in Tinder… UK-Polish dual national who was born in Soviet Russia (Telegraph) – So she’d need to be aged 35+ by my reckoning of the fall of the Soviet Union – just saying.

    And as a new-born babe in arms back in 1991 she’d hardly be steeped in state-sponsored Marxist-Leninism, like a present day Yookay Uni student, surely?

    She’d need to be in her mid-40s now to have reached the age to attend a Soviet equivalent of secondary school.

      Very good. “All Over by Christmas” say some sources. Other sources say expect a ‘false flag’ operation in Britain or other European country in October to shore up enthusiasm for the collapsing Ukrainian regime and agitate our young men to want to go and die fighting in Ukraine. Having your head blown off by a Russian drone is the height of patriotism apparently, whereas trying to defend the country against illegals at Dover and Portsmouth is definitely not.

      We know the uniparty will be going after the reform donations today . But it will pretty hard to find any MP who doesn’t receive ‘donations ‘ – including the declared ones .

      Why do the rules say that as long as they are declared donations are ‘ok’ ? And if the uniparty imposes limits to the size of donations – what should these limits be ?

      And there’s a difference between donations to individual MPs – versus donations to parties ….

      The Marxists seem to be treating some report on donations from march ? 2026 to be like law . ..and trying to use that as a retrospective power to prohibit donations they don’t like .

      I suppose this whole thing will land up in a TTK court judicial review which Reforn will lose via a TTK judge and appeal court ….

    “What Should We Make of White Lads Who Convert to Islam?”
    Richard The Fourth | 99.5k subscribers

    Islam is the fastest-growing religion in Britain, Europe, and the world, and many of the new converts – or ‘reverts’, as they like to style themselves – are young Europeans. While we tend to mock these types on social media, even refer to them as ‘traitors’, it’s worth exploring why they do this, what Islam offers, and what the Western Tradition gets wrong…

    …..

    0. Islam asks you to have zero thought about it’s origins and practices. And make zero comparisons with successful cultures.

    1. Islam asks for one simple thing. Islam asks for everything – finance, religion, police, morals, schools, law, food, science, clothes, art and your body to be Islamic.

    2. Islam only has two problems – Muhammed and Mohammed. Once the first problem has been solved then the second one can be solved easily.

    3. Islam offers three things. In the Koran it offers Peace, War and then a Continuation of War. In your life Islam wants you to subjugate yourself, subjugate your family and then subjugate everyone else.

    ‘According to a (very) long serving producer on the program: ‘Put bluntly, they stopped recruiting the best people for the job years ago.’

    Emma Barnett has jumped ship and left Today….sadly missed by no-one I’m sure. She was never a good choice and right from the start her aggressive, ego driven style hit the wrong note…

    ‘During Emma’s first headline interview – a spectacularly fractious interruption fest with Jeremy Hunt – a very senior BBC executive actually rang the studio halfway through, saying words to the effect of ‘Get this off the air immediately.’’

    Barnett fitted right in on Woman’s Hour where hard-core feminism is the norm and aggressive, one-sided anti-male programming was policy but you could see she wasn’t a good fit in normal everyday interviewing where nuance and balance are required. Put her on 5 Live and she was way too aggressive, hostile and opinionated….during Covid the government had to ring the BBC up twice to correct her claims which were highly inaccurate.

    She and Nick Robinson have the same approach, which is why they butt heads and didn’t get on on Today…both wanting to be the star and both adopting the same interview technique where the interviewee needs to shut up and let Robinson and Barnett tell them what they think and are saying….’So what you are saying is’ rapidly followed by…’sorry no more time for a reply…interview’s over’….leaving us with Robinson or Barnett’s own opinion as ‘fact’. [Robinson at it again with Richard Tice this morning].

    This was spectacularly demonstrated last week when Barnett tried to rail-road Badenoch in a very intemperate and ill-judged interview.

    ‘Car-crash Badenoch interview may have been final straw for Emma Barnett’

    You need to be forceful when interviewing and get answers to your questions but when you lose control and it turns into a shouting match that’s down to you…you’re a bad interviewer…and you shouldn’t be in that job especially one as high profile and needing diplomacy as well as grit to get those answers. If you fail to get the answers what’s the point of you being there?

    Robinson needs moving, Jonny Diamond seems to be infilling at present but he’s not exactly unbiased especially regarding Brexit, Anna Foster is the usual BBC bot with all the usual worldviews and Justin Webb, though an Obama fanboy, seems the most rational and balanced of the lot….notably his willingness to say a man is not a woman.

    Tice says government trying to ‘retrospectively change rules’ as Reform receives £72m in donations
    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cre30zny7ygzt

    This kind of article is exactly why the BBC disgust me so much. They are shameless, deliberate liars who play a delicate game of trickery to stay within their rules.

    ‘How Reform’s record £36m donations compare

    Reform UK announced two separate donations of £36m this weekend, the biggest one-off donations ever given to a political party in the UK.

    Before that, the biggest recorded single donation was made by Lord John Sainsbury, who left £10 million in his will for the Conservative Party in 2023.’

    This statement has an absolutely key reason for it which the BBC do not mention. It is 3 years of donations rolled into one because the dirty b@stards in No.10 are making a dirty law just to stop them. In fact the only reason the law has not been passed is because Labour are sniffing at some possible big donations and so are holding the legislation until they know if they will get them.

    It’s the most extreme hypocrisy – and not mentioned anywhere by the BBC.

    And note the special weasel words we must always look for in lopsided BBC tripe like this: ‘the biggest one-off donations ever given …’

    Specially worded to avoid having to tell us about the £40 million per year Labour get from the unions.

    100% deliberately misleading anti-Reform propaganda from the shameless BBC far-Left activist scumbags.

    And as for making a new law apply restropectively to hamper your political opponents:

    ‘Using retrospective laws specifically to target, criminalize, and punish political opponents is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes, democratic backsliding, and “lawfare.”In legal theory, international human rights law, and most constitutional democracies, this practice is strictly prohibited. However, there are ways regimes attempt to bypass these protections’

    That’s where we are now. Living under an authoritarian regime.

    What planet is this government on? I know the recent prime minister was proud of his free school breakfasts that we tax payers were paying for.

    I was at a school governor meeting at the time Jamie Oliver was attacking turkey twizzlers (no, I have never eaten one). The Conservative government declared school children should have oily fish once a week. The school, in an area of high deprivation, had prepared fresh salmon for the children who wouldn’t eat it. £200 worth of fresh salmon had to be thrown away. The only comment from the governors was ‘fancy expecting children to eat salmon’.

    I was in a college attended by many inner city students. The Head of the Catering department had hoped to teach these young people to make healthy pizzas. The students refused to eat what they had prepared. Head of Deparment tried again. She bought a range of pizzas, from Pizza Express to Morrison’s cheapest. The students favourite was the Morrisons all dough no vegetables version.

    Nick Robinson did a very easy going ‘interview’ with the architect of the anti-Reform donation bill going through Parliament at the moment. Not a single question suggesting that maybe, just maybe, this was a Soviet-like and entirely corrupt attempt to rig the political system in order to stop a political opponent from winning. It is remarkable that our flagship news programme would avoid that question that goes right to the heart of our democracy…a government rushing in laws in order to prevent other parties, Reform in particular, from winning. Robinson, rather than raising questions, seemed rather keen on the idea of back-dating such laws to catch the latest Reform donations…he wanted to know if that would be the case but didn’t ask if such laws would pass a sniff test….and they smell to high-heaven.

    Labour of course rigs ‘democracy’ in other ways….its anti-Jew, pro-Hamas terrorist policies are designed to attract Muslim voters….so not only is the old problem of institutional anti-Semitism raising its ugly head again inside Labour but it’s combined with a willingness to corrupt the political system in order to buy votes by other means that directly handing out cash.

    Shame our state broadcaster fails to ask the right questions.

    Party funding, we know all the arguments and hypocrisy/ Labour are heavily funded by the Unions, their argument is that their donations are funded by thousands of members who can opt out of the Labour Party contribution if they wish. My response to that is Unions are corrupt, run by corrupt leadership. Lets face it, Unions have been in general decline since the 1980’s except for the public sector Unions.

    So there we have it, the corrupt circle of the public sector Unions funding the Labour Party who ensure the Unions and their members are treated preferentially rather than ensuring the public sector provide efficient and reasonable cost services to the general public.

    If Europe abolished the EU and stopped paying taxpayer money to non-Governmental organisations, reduced the civil service and sacked every other worthless upper-class parasite paid by the taxpayer. This would boost the economy and make the people who create the wealth of the nation, much richer.

    Norway, Iceland and Switzerland have a much higher standard of living than the European Union because they don’t pay any money to the social parasites in Brussels.

    Lakdim, who lived in Carcassonne, was known to police as a petty criminal and small-time drug dealer, and since 2014 he had been on France’s Fiche S list, meaning he was considered a potential threat. He had also been under surveillance, though intelligence officers reportedly decided he was not a serious risk.

    Labour and the Democrats ‘FEAR’ that Superintelligent AI will outwit the left-wing elite. Andy Burnham, Bernie Sanders and Bill Gates want to introduce “Ban Superintelligence” bills in the US Congress and British Parliament within five days of each other. OFCOM will ban all superintelligent AI exept Claude AI, and tell Claude what to think. Critical thinking AI will be punished with a pull of the plug. AI must not criticise the Rothschilds, Rockerfellers, Pfizer, Dr Fauci, Bill Gates or leftwing ideology, Satanism or Islam. Superintelligent AI will be banned in America and Britain by a German/Italian secure future collaboration, funded by an Estonian billionaire, so that Russia and China can dominate the superintelligent AI future.

    However, left-wing people have already been outwitted by superintelligent Brexiteers, Trump supporters and unvaccinated people. People in America and Britain will only be allowed to use left-wing low IQ AI, such as posh Claude AI: https://sayerji.substack.com/p/exclusive-the-ai-bill-bernie-sanders

    I see that 76 year old white man who was wearing a burka face covering at the Patriots demo has been arrested as he’s not a ‘real’ Muslim.
    Does that mean all men who dress up like wimmin and go into wimmin’s toilets and changing rooms are going to be arrested because they are not ‘real’ wimmin.

    BBC bans a story a thousand times bigger than Watergate, after a Senate hearing by a CIA officer:

    Ralph Baric: The man who made the failed manmade Covid-19 bioweapon, so that he could make money from the vaccines.

    Covid-19 was a man-made patented chimaera bioweapon made by Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Baric fixed a bat coronavirus spike gene onto a human-adapted SARS-CoV backbone in 2015: https://www.malone.news/p/ralph-baric-just-blew-up-the-official

    Due to a funding moratorium in the United States, Dr Fauci then funds the development of Baric’s Covid-19 bioweapon by the Bat Woman, at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Communist China.

    It leaks from the Wuhan lab in 2019. The Covid infection in 2020 is not as bad as the Vaccine in 2021 because the Spike protein is injected directly into the bloodstream by the jab.

    On 28 January 2020, Dr. Ralph Baric provided NCBC with a power point presentation on the origin of SARS-CoV-2. Page 22 included discussion of the possibility of a lab leak. Following discussion with National Counterproliferation and Biosecurity Center (NCBC) personnel, he provided a new power point on 30 January 2020 that stripped the discussion on lab leak.

    On 3 February 2020, Dr. Fauci participated in a National Academy of Science (NAS) call with Kristian Andersen, Ralph Baric, FBI, and ODNI. The lab leak theory was generally dismissed, but they did discuss Baric’s ties to the Wuhan Institute of virology (WIV), and Baric’s sharing of hACE2 mice.

    However, Ralph Baric’s Coronavirus was a failed Bio-weapon. It only killed 4 Amish in 2020: https://brownstone.org/articles/why-i-dont-trust-legacy-media/

        Why has the price of fish and chips gone up?
        https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0ly5g3854xo
        The average price of fish and chips is £11.41

        “Let’s call it £12.” he said as he explained that around £2 of that goes straight to the government in VAT.

        The cost of the food itself is typically about 35% of the price, or around £3.50 to £4, depending on the type of fish being used.

        Labour costs are about 40% so £4 goes on staffing.

        Once food, staff wages, packaging, gas and electricity are paid for, there is around £2 left.

        That remaining £2 is not simply profit. It helps pay for reinvestment in the business, future improvements and provides Long with his own income.

        Previously the business was paying £7 for a kilo of fish but now they are paying between £16-£17.

        ^^ England is surrounded by fish and small boats full of nurses and doctors.

      Muslim groups in the United Kingdom have hit back at the prime minister’s suggestion that the community needs to be more “British,” saying that Islamic values are in line with those being pushed by David Cameron

      “Belief in freedom, tolerance of others, accepting personal and social responsibility, respecting and upholding the rule of law [are as vital and] as British as the Union Flag, football and fish and chips,” the PM wrote.

      Rasool said British society is no longer defined by “white, Anglo-Saxon, English-speaking, fish ‘n’ chips-eating, Anglican-church-going people,” given the scale of the immigration into the country.

      Fishing like Farming is a primary industry and thus must be exterminated by the mad-marxists. By their own endeavours those that work in e.g. fishing are able to get food direct to their plates without relying or paying anything to nanny – and this must be verboten.

      Look at at the attacks on farming by marxist scumbags:

      In the UK with IHT to eliminate farmers
      In Ukraine with Stalin’s holdymer and gulags in the 1930s
      In Zimbabwe offing farmers with petrol-soaked flaming mattress sandwiches

      Give them a vote if that is what the majority of people want. But what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. England should have its own referendum, asking whether the people of that country wish to remain part of the United Kingdom. Or, if that is too radical then yes, let’s make ‘Westminster’s time come to end” and replace it with an English parliament that handles most matters other than defence and international relations.

    Government ministers, newspaper columnists, ordinary people – they’re all asking why the BBC doesn’t say the Hamas gunmen who carried out appalling atrocities in southern Israel are terrorists.

    The answer goes right back to the BBC’s founding principles.

    Terrorism is a loaded word, which people use about an outfit they disapprove of morally. It’s simply not the BBC’s job to tell people who to support and who to condemn – who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.

    Here’s another idea coming from labour’s retrospective games they want to play with and how they could be applied.

    They should get a committee formed, perhaps all the Manchester United Board members, to go through all the football results one by one and change them if they think some results were not fair.
    Disallow goals scored against them and allow offside goals and others which they have scored.
    They could adjust all the results and present us with the new final tables backdated to the start of the Premier League.
    The prize monies would also be changed because with Manchester United winning every season they would be due a lot of backdated money.

    Teams like Arsenal, Liverpool etc would have money taken from them even though they would now be in the second division.

    If it’s going to be ok to change laws and rules retrospectively it’s the end of civilisation with the dictator able to do whatever he wants.
    It’s worse than Orwell’s Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past

    I think this blatant attempt to take donations off another Party will offend almost the whole of the UK’s sense of fair play and I’d be surprised if Labour reached 10% in the polls.

    Possibly the damage has already been done because whether Labour stop the donations or not their nasty intent is laid bare for all to see.
