In 2018, at the height of the economic crisis in Venezuela through crippling sanctions, Kellogg’s announced the overnight closure of their Maracay factory with hundreds of redundancies – and massive knock-on effects in the local community.
The workers refused to accept the closure and, with government assistance, restarted the factory. It is still running eight years later, employing hundreds of people. Not only has it expanded production, it now uses 100% Venezuelan raw materials – not only local maize and sugar, but packaging also.
The head of the trade union council in the factory is now fulfilling the role of Managing Director.
This is how governments should deal with the whims of multinational capital, rather than allowing invaluable plants and equipment to go to scrap. If the Grangemouth refinery had been treated this way, when Ratcliffe decided he could make more profit in the Netherlands, then Scotland and the UK would not be facing potential jet fuel shortages now.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did my visit there.
This visit was of course before I was taken ill. I am extremely grateful to the Venezuelan medics who saved my life, and to all those many people who have been so kind in helping me. I should say that everything, from the qualifications of the medical staff to the facilities and the hospital services, has been really good. Again the stories of this country as a failed state so vividly and consistently painted by the West are shown to be a complete lie.
I today (20 April) had the pacemaker checked out and it is performing properly, operating at 21% (which I think means that one in five of my heartbeats is pacemaker triggered). The wound is also healing well, but doctors advise the internal healing takes longer and they are keeping me a few more days to make sure everything is OK before I fly back to Scotland.

Psychological warfare genius Donald J Trump has now given his enemies a psych weapon to use against him worldwide: the number 8647.
Hell, people may start writing “8647” whenever they see a US flag or the words “Made in USA”. Oh dear oh dear. Depending how things go, this could be very popular in Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela, and anywhere where people care what’s happening in those places
It often amazes me how idiotic people can be who engage in PW without having a clue about it. E.g. Britain’s “finest” complaining all the time about the PW capability of their adversaries, whether Russian or Iranian. Fine, they can go ahead and wet their pants in public, but who do they think this helps? I suppose at least their effort serves to gee up all the w*nkers in the state structure (including at low level such as in schools, the state health system, and local councils) who keep such a vigilant watch out for wrongthinkers (spreaders of “disinformation” or “misinformation”, lol).
Perhaps next the number will be 18747, rather than the “moderate” 8647? Because 187 definitely doesn’t refer to restaurant menus.
I should add that Trump is not always an idiot where PW is concerned, and his deployment of playground epithets has been well-conceived, well-executed, and a success, but in this particular instance with 8647 he is being an idiot.
He has managed to win two and a half presidential elections with his communications strategy, so he can’t be doing too badly.
I doubt he is too perturbed by the 8647 taunt, it is little compared to the torrent of abuse he has received for an entire decade. It is merely a tactic to very deservedly shake down Comey.
I’d suggest that Trump has only won his presidential elections because of the Jewish zionist lobby led by the likes of miriam adelson and her shekels. To be the president of the USA you need lots of money and you need to be a barely functioning moron or a totally compromised crook. Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, say no more.
That it’s a tactic against Comey doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic handing of a weapon to his opponents worldwide – not politicians but the rest of us.
Trump has given comparable hints that his opponents should be assassinated, I remember from the time, fortunately they are archived here:

Journalists at the Telegraph newspaper – have been told by their new German owners, Axel Springer’s CEO – that if they are not comfortable with the Telegraph supporting Israel – (after supposedly some journalists had a crisis of conscience) that they should leave, and seek employment elsewhere.

RoS
Was it any different under the billionaire Barclay brothers? There may have been no officially stated position previously, but what was expected will have been made perfectly clear via the editorials and group staff meetings etc. Hiring isn’t random chance either; they know exactly the kind of big ‘C’ conservative writers they’re looking for. Just as intel agencies reject those with strong beliefs in civil liberties (libertarians), or those who think the public have a right to know. GCHQ objected to someone serving in a compliance role, because it was revealed he’d expressed support for Snowden’s revelations as being in the public interest, in a single comment on a forum. I forget the guy’s name, but he was otherwise qualified for the role.
Judging by the Telegraph’s columnists’ output, I doubt many are having much of an issue with such an edict. Some say Con Coughlin has connections to UK intelligence(MI6). I really hope they don’t all think like him, as he’s the most hawkish, Zionist apologist imaginable ,although, the likes of Jake Wallis Simons, Zoe Strimpel; Col. Richard Kemp are even worse.
You seem to be well informed about the Telegraph. What’s the score with them and the Reform party, and with them and members of the Rothschild family?
Are they whipping up support for the Tories in the locals or doesn’t that really matter much at the moment, even to CCHQ?
Yes Goose I’m afraid you are correct, the corporate controlled media is all but pro-Zionist, and the usual BS excuse is used by them (Israel has the right to exist) – to justify their stance on supporting genocide.
“Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of Politico’s parent company, Axel Springer, doubled down in defense of the German publishing giant’s corporate values while addressing criticism from Politico‘s editorial staff on Monday, suggesting to journalists that if they do not feel fully comfortable with a mission statement that includes support for Israel’s right to exist and other principles known as “the essentials,” “
Germany’s political elite : CDU/CSU Merz and von der Leyen, plus SPD and Greens, Baerbock, Habeck seem to have learnt all the wrong lessons from history: believing two wrongs make a right.
For while the Nazis and Hitler were doubtless a truly horrific outfit, so too is giving expansionist Israel a free pass today; supporting Netanyahu’s murderous expansionism is but another historical black mark against Germany. The German political elite view backing Israel today as a non-negotiable matter of fact, too – regardless of that nation’s conduct – because they view that backing as a form of historical recompense. A misplaced belief , which amounts to another error of judgement.
As our host once said, Germany has never met a genocide it didn’t like.
“For while the Nazis and Hitler were doubtless a truly horrific outfit, so too is giving expansionist Israel a free pass today;”
Hmm, if Israel as it is currently run has a right to exist, then surely so did Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, and presumably, militarist Japan. Also apartheid South Africa. Perhaps, with Israel, everyone is trying to make up for ending those particular regimes. Never too late, eh?
@RoS – “As our host once said, Germany has never met a genocide it didn’t like.”
More info on this? Can this be backed up with reference to German attitudes towards Armenians and Tutsis? I’d be very interested to know whether it’s accurate or just a British foreign ministry saying.
So EU bigwigs want to sanction Israel over grain, but no sanctions over the genocide that they are committing in Gaza, they are utter monsters.
“The European Union has warned Israel that it is ready to impose sanctions on those aiding and abetting the trade of Ukrainian grain stolen by Russia in the occupied territories, after a new ship loaded with the cereal arrived in the port of Haifa.”

Shomrim and Hatzola have called this afternoon in London, and Rent Boy Customer “turn off the water supply” Starmer doesn’t even ask “how high?” – he just jumps.
One thing the Golders Green story is doing is making it widely known that
* there is a private ethnic police force on British streets, identified with one and only one ethnic group,
* the host police and other authorities think that’s fine, and
* no politicians or media organs are questioning it.
Another turn of the ratchet.
Imagine if the force was Chinese and cooperated closely with the Chinese consulate.
A British-Iranian guy with his kids was stabbed outside Downing Street last week by a group of Pahlavi zionists.
Not a word from our media and politicians.
https://www.thecanary.co/uk/2026/04/23/iranian-protestor-stabbed-downing-street/
The British media is occupied.
There is no consistency…
Wave an Israeli flag – in no way can you be seen as collectively endorsing Netanyahu’s or the Israeli state’s actions, to even suggest so, is anti-Semitic.
Wave an Iranian flag (the real one) – you’re an apologist for the regime.
Wave a Russian flag – you’re a Putinist apologist for the invasion.
Wave an English flag and apparently you’re a fascist.
Wave a Ukrainian flag and you’re a patriot.
Wave a rainbow flag and you’re a caring person.
Can you see the trend yet ?
No, I don’t actually. Would you mind explaining what you mean by the last item, and what the ‘trend’ is?
Waving an Israeli flag is just fine, after all, and there’s nothing all ‘woke’ about that. (I take it you have a problem with all things ‘woke’, as a good GB News devotee.)
‘There is no consistency…’
There is certainly none in regard to their response to attacks on Jews. Where was the outrage on behalf of Jews when Iran’s oldest synagogue was targeted and destroyed on the holiest day of the Jewish calender?
The British elite’s calculated, performative hysteria in response to attacks in Golders Green, Australia, Michigan etc quite obviously has nothing to do with empathy for Jews.
It is something else entirely.
It’s a political football, insomuch as the big-two political parties are vying for partisan advantage and Israel and Netanyahu’s approval in defending one community above all others. Because they believe that also somehow endears them to the U.S., where Israel exerts a massive influence on politics through AIPAC. A very pernicious web of influence, that can only be broken by ending the ‘captured’ two-party systems in Anglo countries, and embracing more representative multiparty democracy, through the adoption of proportional representation.
Another freedom flotilla intercepted in the Med. near Crete. The IDF jammed communications and boarded vessels heading for Ghaza. Not one country is looks ng after the humanitarian interests of these 400 plus global citizens. Shame
Whatever happened at the high court today with regards to those Ukrainian burglars/exotic models who interferred with Kidstarvers
Property.
All Labour MPs enjoyed a three line whip threat yesterday, and sacking if they dared to support an inquiery into Schmarmers handling of the dark destroyers appointment to the US and the clandestine business revellations to his best friend Epstein.
So, all is well with freedom and democracy in this country…gonzos
The Zionists like the Yanks care not about sea laws.
The Israeli Navy has begun intercepting a Gaza-bound flotilla currently located near the Greek island of Crete.
The crew has reportedly been ordered to kneel, communications have been jammed, an SOS has been sent, and drones are overhead.

I see doddering buffoon Proper Charlie 111 has been wheeled out to recite a script written for him by the spooks, gooks & crooks of Stupidville North Europe. A manchild who never mastered the- admittedly complex ( for a Windsor ) – technique of applying toothpaste to a toothbrush; who was ” close friends ” with a series of UK’s Most Vile; who saw no irony or shame in turning-up at a foodbank to mumble platitudes; who in every meaningful sense is a total waste of time. space & ( public ) money, and there he is promoting war against a nuclear armed nation whilst being feted by the same mob of bought n paid for wankers who only get off their knees kissing his arse in order to give horrible, homicidal war criminal Netanyahu another standing ovation.
That scene really epitomises the sick, degenerate symbiosis of lingering Brit State delusion of ( Empire- derived ) ” importance ” and it’s former colony-turned-master infantile fascination with England-as-UK monarchic frippery.
In other * news *……to no-one even half awake’s surprise the geniuses of Spookville ( legal dept ) are indeed attempting to associate/blame Russia for the Revenge of the Rent Boys farce. This is the only reason it has even got to court, no opportunity to smear Russia/Pooooooootin can be foregone. It matters not how ridiculous/improbable/stupid the means, Russia must be demonised at all times
Pity the Saxe-Coburg Windsor maladjusted parasites didn’t suffer the same fate as their Romanov relations; the head of the Class System snake might have been dispatched and England allowed to desist genuflecting and grow-up into an adult Republic

KC3 “promoting war against a nuclear armed nation”?
What exactly did he say?
War against Russia? Or Israel?
What do his remarks about Ukraine say if not ” brave, honourable ( lol ) Britannia must and will defend the poor oppressed people of….* checks notes………UKania”? At a time and in a place when/where U.S public support for continuing involvement in that conflict is dropping significantly: ditto U.S public support for Zion: what, do you think that visit was coincidental?
The people of England need to hold him to account.
“More than 60% of every donation Wes Streeting has received since entering parliament comes from companies and individuals with interests in private healthcare. His biggest donor owns companies that recruit both NHS managers and private health executives.
This week he used a statutory instrument to give himself the power to override NICE – the body that protects the NHS from being overcharged by pharmaceutical companies.
How is this not a conflict of interest?”
https://nitter.poast.org/dailybritainonx/status/2049442819366912205#m
Many of those bribes to Streeting have been openly recorded in the parliamentary Register of Interests. The media, including all Tory media, has colluded in keeping that critical information about Wes from the public.
Shades of Jeremy Hunt and Simon Stevens, the enemy within, the fifth columnists.
It’s an utter disgrace – they are determined to send these folk to prison under terrorism charges – to scapegoat them and send out a message – you DON’T live in a democracy.
“Defence barristers walk out after judicial ruling in Filton 6 trial – while police make arrests outside court
For a third time over the last week the Met police have made arrests outside Woolwich Crown Court of people holding signs communicating the principle of jury equity. The group of 6 people arrested were sitting peacefully displaying the signs: “Jurors have an absolute right to acquit according to their conscience” and, “Even without legal defence jurors can still acquit on conscience”.
Meanwhile inside Woolwich Crown Court, there has been a shocking development in the Filton case, five of the six defence barristers have left the trial following judicial rulings which cannot be reported until the end of the trial.
A spokesperson for Defend Our Juries said today:
“In recent years we have seen judicial rulings that banned climate campaigners from saying the words ‘fuel poverty’ and ‘climate change’ in their trials. Today we understand a judicial ruling has been given that goes even further, and as a response the legal professionals representing five of the six defendants on trial in the Filton case have no choice but to leave the trial because they have been left with literally nothing they can say in closing arguments.”
The trial of the first six defendants from the group known as the ‘Filton24’ has reached the stage of closing arguments. Five of the six defendants will now be giving their own closing speeches as they have no legal representation.”
You could not want a clearer example that the British government, judiciary and fourth estate are colluding in a direct conspiracy against the public than the Filton 6 trial. (The total media blackout of the Starmer rent boy trial is another).
To be clear, the British government is colluding with Israel and elbit against the public.
Indeed – and in the eyes of Starmer and his government, Israeli interests come before those of British citizens.
Going back to the article itself: we should learn from other countries instead of trying to bomb them into extinction.
Jonathan Hall, the barrister who works as the British regime’s “adviser on terrorism”, has told regime media that “anti-Semitism” is a “national security emergency”.
He’s also the regime’s “independent reviewer on terrorism legislation”. Curiously the regime doesn’t seem to employ anybody in a similar position reviewing its “educational” legislation, its “health” legislation, or its prison, transport, sport, or energy legislation. Why it can’t sort out its terrorism legislation by itself, without passing it through an “independent” reviewer, is not discussed. But let’s not expect a comparison with the Petain or Quisling governments’ national security policies to be taught on Oxford University’s PPE course any time soon.
Hall works in a chambers called 6KBW that has especially strong links with the Cayman Islands. Nice work if you can get it. One company that also has strong links with the Cayman Islands is called Tesco – whose tills get to process about a sixth of the entire British GNP.
And I think the owner is Dame Shirley Porter, resident of Israel, where she went after some dodgy business in the 90s
I believe Jonathan Hall has very close links with the zionists, ‘a safe pair of hands’ for our ZOG.
“as writer and former ambassador Craig Murray has pointed out – Hall was on the government committee that approved the proscription of PA.
His father-in-law is a Patron of the Israel lobby group “UK Lawyers for Israel” (UKLFI)
Hall also didn’t mention that he:
• has visited Israeli “counter-terrorism” bodies
• spends family holidays in Israel
• and, in the words of Murray, “indulges vigilante fantasies by guarding his local synagogue against non-existent attacks”

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/apr/30/starmer-calls-on-public-to-open-their-eyes-to-jewish-pain-in-wake-of-golders-green-attack
“Starmer calls on public to ‘open their eyes to Jewish pain’ in wake of Golders Green attack
The prime minister also accused anyone marching alongside Hamas supporters of ‘venerating the murder of Jews’ ”
It can’t be long before everyone in “the public” who doesn’t bend the knee to Jewish supremacist fascism is called part of the problem.
“In a statement in Downing Street, Starmer said new powers were needed to protect the Jewish community after the stabbing attack”
What new powers are they going to be? As prime minister, Starmer already has the power to order the British army to guard Zionist installations in Britain if he wants – although of course who gives orders to whom might not be what naive observers would expect. Perhaps the Community Security Trust and Shomrim should be allowed to run their own criminal courts and prisons? I could easily see some of the Zionists’ guns being brought out of their hiding places and brandished by Shomrim as they do their “protection” work to help out in this time of “national security emergency”.
Water Supply Cut-off Boy seems unaware of the usual usage of the word “venerate”, which is to denote reverence for people or things, not for actions.
“Starmer calls on public to ‘open their eyes to Jewish pain’ in wake of Golders Green attack
How many thousands of women and children were killed and maimed in the Golders Green attack?
Truly one of the most pathetic speeches by any world leader in history.
Darkly amusing though that, despite being up to his neck in the Gaza slaughter and smearing protests against it as antisemitic, Starmer is still being treated by British zionists like he’s Jeremy Corbyn.
No amount of subservience is ever enough.
What does he mean by “new powers”?
I would say the greenlighting of a large Zionist building on Victoria Tower Gardens next to the Houses of Parliament is now a near certainty. I wonder how tooled up the Zionist goons will be who protect it. For those who don’t get the point here – the building is likely to have other purposes than the solemn commemoration of the victims of what Germans did in Poland in the 1940s.
As for Starmer, how is the rent boy trial going?
Take a look at this report by the BBC (!):
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx21y204zz4o
“The prosecutor said analysis of messages from phones recovered from, and connected with, the defendants showed “communication between them before and during the relevant period”. He said Lavrynovych was offered payment to set the fires by a contact using the name or pseudonym “El Money” on the Telegram messaging app. He said Carpiuc also communicated with El Money.
Atkinson said that El Money communicated in Russian, in contrast to the Ukrainian otherwise used by the defendants. He told jurors that it was “no part of your considerations” to decide who El Money was and what reason he might have had for co-ordinating the alleged actions of the defendants.“
Since when have the identity of someone who offered to pay a person to commit a crime, and why they offered to, been considered irrelevant matters when a person is tried for actually committing the crime?
“Since when have the identity of someone who offered to pay a person to commit a crime, and why they offered to, been considered irrelevant matters when a person is tried for actually committing the crime?”
Since a few weeks ago, it seems, although the Jeremy Thorpe trial does come to mind.
You know from the very first sentence of this piece in the Telegraph by “Lord” Frost, formerly of the British foreign ministry, that it’s hasbara. “Nearly 40 years ago, I was talking to a close Jewish friend.” Of course you were, mate.
https://archive.is/ZOOL2
He appears to be calling for the British government to de-recognise Palestine.
He also says “Why do we tolerate this? I think it’s because we are too frightened to do anything about it.” The creep can say that again.
He keeps going on about “Jewish areas”. Will he advocate a Group Areas Act next?
He explicitly calls for banning pro-Palestine marches,
Then there’s this wonderful piece of moral philosophy: “I don’t particularly welcome any of this.” No mate, of course you don’t. Or more to the point, you don’t think about what you welcome or what you don’t welcome, so long as you get paid for it.
This won’t apply to ordinary folks trials, the whole system reeks of corruption it all needs torn down.
“the Jury in the Starmer Arson case has been advised they have to pay no attention to any ‘motive’ behind it.”
I’ve never heard that be the advice in any other trial.
The jury have also been advised that they shouldn’t try to identify the person who allegedly offered to pay the defendants to do it.
What if they thought it was MI5 hiring them as what Dominic Cummings calls a “red team”? That would be a defence.
Your Media has posted the final defence statements in the Filton 6 trial – very moving they are too.https://realmedia.press
Yes, incredibly impressive from such young people. Thanks for posting the link.
Beginning to look like a security services event at Golders Green.
“The Sun reports with zero evidence that the psychotic man who stabbed two people in Golders Green “regularly attended pro-Palestinian demos,” despite the fact that days prior he was still on indefinite hold in a secure psychiatric hospital”
Re my above comment.
“In 2008 the same man stabbed two (non-Jewish) police officers, a dog, and a fellow Somali man in a similar state of psychosis.
No racial or ethnic hatred was ever identified at any point as a factor in his attacks during that time”
It’s hard not to be cynical when it come to why they’ve raised the terror threat level now, just prior to major elections. And the Met chief , Mark Rowley, a political appointment himself, appointed by the Home Office, is overreaching by involving himself in politics, criticising Polanski, over a retweet. Polanski basically posed the question : If a suspect is believed to be a terrorist – potentially carrying explosives – is kicking that individual in the head standard procedure/protocol? Seems like a legit question, although admittedly the timing is insensitive.
ITV’s Paul Brand posted this on ‘X’:
The terror threat level is *not* set by politicians. Can understand why some people are assuming this is a political reaction to Golders Green given the timing, but it is taken independently by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, which monitors the risk.
But we had three terror incidents, seemingly out of nowhere, prior to the 2017 GE, as Corbyn closed the gap on May’s Tories. It was an election in which the Tories and their press, painted Corbyn as a national security threat. Do you remember Blair’s widely mocked ‘Tanks at Heathrow‘ stunt in February 2003, allegedly due to some unspecified threat of an imminent al Qaeda threat – this, just as the govt was trying to win support for his hugely unpopular Iraq war that was soon to follow. Many politicians and press at the time dismissed it as a theatrical charade – what practical use would a tank be at an airport? Prior to that, we had a ‘dodgy dossier’, produced by Jonathan Powell and signed off by MI6’s John Scarlett. Both Blair and Scarlett later made millions in part-time senior advisory roles at US investment bank , JPMorgan Chase.
Politics and security services are far too deeply entwined in the UK , without proper separation. Recent Cabinet Secretaries have been from spook backgrounds: Simon Case(GCHQ) and prior to him Sir Mark Sedwill (Foreign postings, NATO and National Security Adviser).
Yes the security services have form on this.
“Suleiman began deradicalisation in 2020; he was now under the watchful eye of the security state. It is no great secret that MI6 like to recruit mentally unstable individuals.
In 2019, MI6 sent a psychotic man to the Middle East. Upon return, he promptly murdered his own child”

Also Goose, apparently the Golders Green assailant – attacked a man at 8.50am on the same day, but that couldn’t be spun as a anti-Semitic attack – so it been played down by the media.
Polanski has made the basic Corbyn mistake, ie. apologising to the zionists, thus demonstrating his lack of a spine and that he will always kowtow to the genociders. Rule One, never apologise.
Yip never apologise and also make up lies when the heat is on.
“They know they’ve committed terrible war crimes against humanity – and they know we know so they are trying offer up false narratives to blame others for their war crimes.
“A new website established by the Israeli government through a contract with Trump’s former campaign manager seeks to manipulate AI platforms into denying established accounts of Hind Rajab’s killing.
Israel has created nine English language websites explicitly aimed at manipulating AI platforms like Claude and ChatGPT. Its vehicle for maintaining these websites is Clock Tower X, a company founded by Brad Parscale, the former manager of President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign. Now a federally registered foreign agent, Parscale is the point man on a gargantuan contract aimed at reversing Israel’s public relations crisis by flooding online media with anti-Palestinian propaganda.
Among the new websites registered by Israel and maintained by Clock Tower X is a portal dedicated to “prov[ing] that Hamas’s terrorist designation reflects global consensus, and undeniable evidence of violence, not conspiracy.” Called Factsignal.org, the site has distributed materials attempting to cast doubt on an incident that has become a symbol of the crimes committed by the Israeli army against the civilian population of Gaza.”

That’s nepotism actually…. deselected a black woman for this complete outsider. Disgraceful.
This is the sort of thing that makes people lose faith in politics! How’s Blair’s son – still in politics? Or is he on his way to making his first billion in ‘business’ now?
Thanks for the correction, your other points are also valid – politics is a game for them – they buck the system to suit themselves, at our expense.
Starmer met his handler – Oops I meant wife, when she worked at a solicitors office, where one of the partners was Margaret Hodge, now Baroness Hodge.

I had to check that it wasn’t a spoof account. Seems like it’s 4 real.
I think I need a drink. Good job it’s Friday. Try to enjoy the bank holiday weekend won’t you.
(For anyone saying they already have a police force: he’ll mean a proper police force with tazers & guns – not just a glorified neighbourhood watch with illegal panda cars)
It’s in the Telegraph, so it must be true.
In a recent statement our marvelous and magnificent prime ministarmer called on “everyone decent in this country to open their eyes to Jewish pain, Jewish suffering and Jewish fear.”
Yes, the pain and suffering they are going through must be totally unbearable… I mean for god’s sake they can’t even go shopping in central London when there’s a march in support of the Palestinians. It’s just not right!
Talking of pain and suffering, I finally got round to watching ‘Gaza: Doctors Under Attack’ yesterday (on Channel 4 catch up), the documentary the BBC shelved you’ll recall. Every single person in the country above the age of ten should be forced to watch it! It’s up on youtube now:

Also checked out medialens yesterday and, as such, came across this piece from March 11th
‘How On Earth Do You Justify That?’ Laura Kuenssberg’s Selective Empathy
On 8 March, on the BBC politics programme, ‘Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg’, the former BBC political editor put these impassioned words to Seyed Ali Mousavi, the Iranian ambassador to the UK:
‘Since we last spoke, your government has killed thousands of its own people in the streets who had the courage to stand up to protest against the suffering that they have been experiencing at the hands of the regime. Thousands of people were killed. How on earth do you justify that, Ambassador?’…..
When has Kuenssberg ever expressed such heartfelt revulsion at the genocide being committed by Israel in Gaza, with likely in excess of 100,000 Palestinians slaughtered?
Has she expressed similar horror for 175 schoolgirls, staff and parents killed by the US in a ‘double-tap’ attack on a primary school in Minab in Iran?…..

Cod, I really REALLY despise the Kuenssberg thing so much! Yeah, yet another lying deceitful psychopathic inhuman piece of unowot!!
Come the revolution some people were paraded through the streets with a shaved head, collusion with nazis has repercussions.
Yes, life is so perilous for Jews in the U.K now the only correct course of action is for every non-Jew to leave the country and never return; move to, uh, dunno…..Gaza? after it’s been Kushnered, obv: or how about Scotland? after it’s been expunged of any residual socialist inclinations, obv: REFORMed RESTOREd & ADVANCEd by, essentially, 50 Shades of Farage, LIBbed LABbed & CONned and, finally…SNiPped. A country fit for zeroes.
Would England ( and Wales ) be enough to provide the requisite levels of security and living space for the new owners, though? nah, scrap that idea, they’ll need the whole of the UK landmass, probably all the islands too. Right, best get started then: any suggestions which countries might be up for taking-in circa 70M impoverished white trash? None? ah well…….. GOYS OUT OF UK. NOW!!
Which country between : Israel, US or UK do we think is responsible for Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI) the oh-so convenient supposedly Iranian-linked group, that has sprung up from nowhere as if to bolster the case that an Iranian terror threat actually exists in the West. They are claiming ‘credit’ – if that’s the right word, for all sorts of acts of violence, including the one in Golders Green, many of which, logic tells us, they couldn’t possibly be involved in. And for other annoying crap, like nonsensical DDoS attacks that it’s very unlikely they have the infrastructure to carry out, whereas the West does.
One such attack is on Canonical, creators of the popular Ubuntu linux OS. The attack, which has knocked them offline all today, comes as canonical are trying to patch a critical privilege escalation vulnerability, that can give root… go figure.
Surely the jury will acquit these brave souls – after listening to their side of the story, and why they did it.

Re my above comment.
Then again maybe not.
“Desperate to secure a conviction of Palestine Action defendants, a draconian British judge has forbidden them from referring to the principle of jury equity in their closing speeches. It is one of countless restrictions aimed at blocking the activists from mounting an effective defense.”

NEW: The Metropolitan police will not open an investigation into 10 British nationals accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity while fighting with the IDF in Gaza.
The Met’s War Crimes Unit was provided with a landmark 240-page dossier of evidence back in April 2025 by a team of legal experts on behalf of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and the Public Interest Law Centre.
After a year of repeated requests for updates the Met confirmed no investigation will take place. Top human rights barrister Michael Mansfield KC – who was part of the legal delegation that initially delivered the dossier – called the Met’s decision ‘utterly disgraceful’ and ‘a complete insult as a rule of law’.

Let’s see if one sentence or one minute is found for this story anywhere in the British mass media.
Just came across this BBC News article headlined ‘Starmer heckled during Golders Green visit’, posted yesterday, in which it says the following:
On his arrival in Golders Green, the prime minister was met by a group of protesters holding signs and chanting “Keir Starmer, Jew Harmer”.
Other demonstrators shouted “traitor” as the prime minister’s car drove past.
Those who had gathered outside Hatzola’s offices told the BBC they were scared to be Jewish in the UK and more needed to be done to protect British Jews.
Sophia Ziff said “I don’t know if I should be reconsidering where in the world I should go, because I don’t feel safe as a British Jew. I don’t feel safe. I do not feel supported.”
She said as a traditionally left-leaning person she felt let down by Starmer: “I just feel like all the platitudes are like ‘thoughts and prayers’ and ‘so sorry’ and ‘horrific’ but what are you actually doing?”…..
Asked about the heckling during a later news conference, Sir Keir, whose wife Victoria is Jewish, said he understood the “high levels of anxiety and concern that there are”.
He added that as well as increasing security funding, the government had held a meeting with criminal justice agencies, and was looking at “what more needs to be done in health and education”, as well as “further measures” on protests…..
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the government needed to take tougher action on pro-Palestine marches adding: “The government has been weak, weak, weak on all of this.”
Jonathan Hall KC, the government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, has called for a “moratorium” on pro-Palestinian marches that he said “incubate” antisemitism…..
Yes, it’s obviously all down to the pro-Palestinian marches and marchers, and nothing whatsoever to do with Israel killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of women and children and toddlers and babies and elderly and doctors and health workers and first responders and journalists in daily (often in the middle of the night) massacres. Anyway, at least the BBC gave Stop the War the opportunity to respond:
The Stop The War Coalition, which is planning to hold a demonstration on 16 May, said: “Attempts by some to connect the series of horrific antisemitic attacks in north London with the marches in solidarity with Palestine are false.
“We condemn unequivocally these attacks, as we do all forms of antisemitism and racism – no one should be attacked for their race or religion.”
The organisation added that its marches were “supported by many Jewish people who attend” and they were not “hate marches” but “expressions of solidarity and support for those under attack”.
I can’t help wondering if THAT’s a first – ie including in the article, in effect, the fact that many Jewish people take part in the marches, not just by BBC News, but the WHOLE of the MSM. And needless to say, the MSM and each and every organisation and individual spouting the ‘hate marches’ B/S and doing their utmost to demonise them, has known all along since the outset that the marches had a large contingent of Jewish people on them. But as with Jeremy Corbyn and the A/S smear campaign, they don’t give a flying fuck about causing worry and concern and fear in the Jewish population. And how goddam fucking evil is THAT!
Anyway, here’s a link to the BBC News article, and also a link to Starmer making his statement yesterday, the guy who supported and colluded in the genocide by Israel, and the unprovoked war on Iran:

Forgot to post this earlier, which I spotted in the recommends when I went on youtube to copy the link to the Doctors Under Attack documentary, and I strongly suspect that just about the whole of the MSM blanked it:

Some protests may need to be stopped, says the vile puppet in Number 10.
From government media:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj9pn2v7m2wo
“Asked if he wanted tougher policing of language used during marches, or if he wanted to stop some protests altogether, Sir Keir Starmer told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I think certainly the first, and I think there are instances for the latter.” The PM said he would always defend the right to protest but he was concerned about the “cumulative” effect of repeated marches on the Jewish community.”
Sounds as though he’s been told to give ZOG some blood on the streets – the blood of a pro-Palestinian protestor or three. I am not joking.
Since all the marches are protesting mainly about the genocide in gaza and the erosion of people’s rights, what are the Jewish community worried about ? Are they responsible ? Do they support genocide ?
It sounds to me that Starmer thinks that repeated marches create an outlook in society that encourages potential jihadi attackers. I suspect that such lunatics are groomed or conditioned via the internet, and not by marches protesting against apartheid, genocide and war crimes and for civil rights including jury trials.
Most of the lunatics are groomed by the security services (MI5/6, CIA, Mossad). Always useful to ask cui bono ?
“It sounds to me that Starmer thinks that repeated marches create an outlook in society that encourages potential jihadi attackers”
It’s that selective gullibility again.
I will vote for the Workers’ Party, so long as nobody takes this as a vote for independence. Deal? Happy if it’s taken as a vote for an indyref.
I like their promise of a referendum on NATO membership.
Not sure why they want a referendum on the monarchy. Why not just say we would abolish it. Do they want a referendum on other billionaires’ rights too? How about on the right of the first night?
Unfortunately they are still talking rubbish about crypto and artificial intelligence. Clue: a fat lot of good crypto and artificial intelligence did for Hezbollah in Lebanon with the pagers. No, these things can’t be under the control of street level popular committees FFS, any more than biological or nuclear weapons can. Karl Marx not Alex Jones 🙂
AI and Crypto require vast computing resources. So, the people who can control these resources are not going to be thinking of ‘the little person’. The obvious conclusion is that AI and Crypto are just yet another establishment scam.
Get this, the last bit I mean, from a NYT article published on September 29th last year about support for Israel having declined in the US. Here’s the headline and the passage I’m referring to:
Americans’ Support for Israel Dramatically Declines, Times/Siena Poll Finds
Seven in 10 Republicans said they supported providing additional aid to Israel. A majority of Republicans said Israel should continue the military campaign until all hostages were released, even if it meant civilian casualties. And 47 percent said that the Israeli military was taking enough precautions to prevent civilian deaths.
No doubt the vast majority of them get most of their ‘news’ about it via Fox News, although a third of Republicans said Israel’s military was ‘not taking enough action to prevent civilian deaths’, which isn’t quite the same as saying that Israel is slaughtering them in the tens of thousands deliberately, although many of them probably know that is the case.

Without American support there would be no Israel, go figure.
Trying to donate to everyone that makes sense in the world, and like you, George Galloway, Richard Medhurst, Kit Klarenberg, Julian Assange and more. I am however not able to donate further than I am.
Maximum respect.
