Part One – Local and National News Review
Dr Judith Brown joins Tony and Martin. Alternative media vs main steam media – A most terrifying piece of legislation has just cleared parliament, with more censorship legislation planned. The Control of Information – how the rich and powerful shape the media and control your mind. By Dr Judith Brown. Judith Brown Jul 19, 2026 The National Security (State Threats) Act. This terrifying piece of censorship legislation has just cleared parliament and awaits royal assent. Remember this – during World Wars 1 and 2 we did not have such draconian legislation. During the Irish troubles when we had extensive acts of terrorism in our own cities we did not have this type of legislation – the government relied on its D-notices, a gentleman’s agreement between the government and the press. Everyone was touched by frightening events in the 1970s and 1980s – when I was a night sister in a hospital in Oxford we frequently had alleged bomb threats, real or by copycat attention seekers, and my daughter was caught up in a terrorist event in London when she was at university. Yet the British media was not controlled in the way it is now. The most terrifying thing is the purposeful vagueness of censorship legislation – the Online Safety Act (OSA), and now the National Security (State Threats) Act (NSSTA). They are not specific on what is, and what is not, against the law. This means that for the OSA those that are required to censor on behalf of the government – social media companies and search engines – are likely to be fined or even imprisoned for not obeying the laws. This does not only involve people and companies on British soil – it involves global companies whose websites or online activities can reach British citizens. The NSSTA is similarly vague and this time the requirement is to self-censor, with journalists or those working overseas such as aid workers, restricting who they speak to. The main target seems to be Iran, a country that does not threaten British subjects at all – although British military assets in places like Cyprus may be targeted in the future by Iran. This legislation appears to be in the interests of Israel – a foreign country. Irrespective of your views on Israel, it seems illogical that censorship legislation is passed to protect a country outside our borders, when it was not deemed necessary to pass censorship laws when British people needed protection. If journalists cross the line – either intentionally or unintentionally – they could receive prison sentences as terrorists for up to 16 years. A great article that criticises this bill – now an Act of Parliament – was written on the Canary website. Remember the Canary has been debanked by Lloyds recently for what reason we and they haven’t been told. You can read the Canary article here, and the article includes comments by the NGO Cage International, Jeremy Corbyn MP., Tribune Magazine, and the great Craig Murray, and ex-ambassador who has himself been subjected to prison sentences for his outspoken speech against injustices….
Fact checking. Demagogue fact checker. The 2018 CCCD was a voluntary code, agreed between service providers and the EU. After 2018, the EU began to fund a swathe of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) that now contribute to moderation of content and control of information; their function is as enforcers of any censorship legislation that may be passed by the EU. This vast network stretching across Europe consists of universities, schools of technology, journalism schools, think tanks, AI/tech companies, fact check platforms, newswires and other media organisations, NGOs, media literacy trainers, and PR companies. These are largely paid for by the EU, although government-funded NGOs from non-EU countries such as UK and Switzerland share funding obligations. Their specific functions include: – mapping fact-checking organisations in Europe and supporting joint and cross-border activities – ensuring coordination of censorship activities across Europe and globally through standard setting activities – funding content moderation practices, along with other governments and their NGOs, philanthropic organisations and corporations – training journalists, students, children and other members of the public in approved fact checking techniques – mapping, supporting and coordinating censorship research – funding and/or undertaking development of censorship tools and systems – building a public portal providing media practitioners, teachers and citizens with information and materials aimed at building resilience to what is called online disinformation – supporting media literacy campaigns with funding and research – training students, children and other members of society in media literacy in order to shape minds to think in a particular manner (i.e., applying ‘brainwashing’ techniques) – designing a framework to ensure secure and privacy-protected access to platforms’ data – giving support to public authorities in the monitoring of policies put in place by online platforms to limit the spread and impact of what is defined by the EU as disinformation – creating and coordinating approved media and social media content that meets with the needs of policy makers, rather than that of European citizens. The CCDC voluntary code was strengthened by the Digital Services Act (DSA) that came into force in 2022. The DSA is, however, a flawed document. Marcella Atzori analysed the DSA in 2024 and found that the lack of any clear definition of illegal content means that it cannot guarantee harmonisation nor legal certainty in the regulation of content. The terms used are broad and vague, which strategically opens the way to restriction of freedoms and the criminalisation of anything that the EU defines as disinformation. Both social media platforms and the administration are granted broad powers in the governance of speech, putting the liberties of civil society at risk. Atzori suggests that the strict obligations imposed by the DSA will encourage platforms and search engines to utilise rigorous content filtering technologies and terms of service. Atzori questions whether the noble objectives as described in the Preamble of the DSA were actually different from the outset
Russia Today ban. Anti Russian attitude in mass media. Premeditated preparation for a World War by UK deep state? Russia Today – Iranian attack on Jordon. RT now on Rumble. RT: Jordan says, ‘We are not a party to this conflict’ — Jordanians demand US Forces leave Calls for the withdrawal of US forces from Jordan are intensifying after Iranian attacks reportedly killed several American soldiers stationed in the country. Jordanian campaigner Waddah Mahadin says the public has a right to know why foreign combat forces are operating on Jordanian territory and exchanging fire with Iran. UK media regulator Ofcom has moved to revoke the broadcasting licence of Russian state-funded TV station RT UK in light of the war in Ukraine. Ofcom said it did not consider RT (formerly Russia Today) able to comply with impartiality laws in Britain given the current circumstances and its close ties to the Kremlin, declaring it was no longer “fit and proper” for it to hold a licence because the regulator “cannot be satisfied that it can be a responsible broadcaster”. The channel swiftly hit back, accusing Ofcom itself of being a “tool of government” and “robbing the UK public of access to information”. The EU banned the channel on 1 March 2022, prompting Sky to drop it from its UK package and Google to block its presence on YouTube. Those moves were applauded by culture secretary Nadine Dorries, who said it meant Russian president Vladimir Putin’s “polluting propaganda machine” would have “severely restricted access into British homes via our TV screens”.
American US staying in hotels in Middle East – bases not safe. War Plan UK: The Truth about Civil Defence in Britain Duncan C. Campbell (1982) War Plan UK is the result of more than five years’ research into the real face of British civil defence. Duncan Campbell reveals the incredible history of how one government after another has planned to protect itself and survive. This is an authorised re-issue of the 1983 version of this book. As an academic and historical document about British Civil Defense preparations and policies of the Cold War, War Plan UK may never be equaled: by the time the relevant documents become unclassified, the subject may have become so moot as never to inspire the kind of passionate investigation that Mr. Campbell brings to it. In writing a work of political advocacy aimed at 1980s Britain, however, he seems to have ironically run into the same conundrum that prevented the British Government from developing a coherent or meaningful policy on Civil Defense during the Cold War years: the sheer destructive potential and inherent insanity of nuclear war makes nearly any policy appear unacceptably bad in the right light. Mr. Campbell, despite his unquestionable chops as an investigative journalist, is no closer to coming up with a good one than two generations of British ministers and civil servants were. I can’t speak for contemporary Britain but, in the United States there is this curious fusion at the highest levels of two currents. First is a nihilistic mindset valuing humiliation for humiliation’s sake and destruction for destruction’s sake. The welfare state here- even at the best of times-has been a flimsy thing and after Reagan and his successors have hacked away at it what remains is a sprawling regulatory system that exists solely to say ‘no.’ The costs inherent in maintaining this system far exceed any benefits that they pay out to its recipients. It would be considerably cheaper to simply cut poor people a check every month to do with what they wished than making them submit to drug testing; employing an army of bureaucrats to determine what food is suitably bland to qualify for assistance; denying certain medications and treatments; scouring rental properties to find the most austere accommodations… The second is a Christian fundamentalism that imagines itself not just the correct practitioner of Christianity but one that is also divinely sanctioned to fulfill Biblical prophecy. Point in fact in our ongoing foray into Iran some commanders briefed the men under their command that this was not the standard “regime change” of yesteryear; rather, this was a mission to bring about Biblical Armageddon. Bad as this is already our nihilistic Christian-fundamentalist state also has a substantial nuclear arsenal. Back to the book- where the author reveals that Britain has a set of plans however pitiful they might be they do at least attempt to imagine a structure to reconstitute society. The intrusive thoughts in my head tell me that a good bit of leadership thinks that they’re all going to be raptured should the missiles start flying and anyone else left behind is none of their concern anyway. Another- and not necessarily exclusive portion- is going to see a nuclear exchange as the ultimate culling to sweep away the undeserving masses. If the British government’s plans are so callous I do not want to know what the United States government’s plans are. A copy of this was difficult to get hold of. Having moved house to a quiet location very close to a recently decomissioned (regional government) nuclear bunker that is now open as a museum, I was keen to lear a lot more about the facts behind the rumours. Duncan Campbell emphasises from the outset that the UK government of the time made provision only for the protection of select high ranking officials and not the general public in the event of a nuclear exchange with Soviet Russia. Meticulously researched with countless facts about the (often flawed) plans and exercises that went on unbeknown to the public, Campbell exposes locations, architecture, transport plans and even the personnel who would be supposedly in charge of a post apocalyptic UK. Quite what would be left to govern in unthinkable. Interestingly “Citadels” is a word he uses throughout instead of “bunkers.” I wished that I had read this in 1982 when it was originally published but I would have been far too terrified. Chilling.
Iran said may attack Fairford. Data centres being attacked in war. Iran Threatens UK Base Used by US Bombers; Could RAF Fairford Be Attacked? Iran’s warning to RAF Fairford highlights growing US-Iran tensions Iran has warned that RAF Fairford could become a military target after accusing the United States of launching bombing missions against Iranian territory from the British airbase. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said any base supporting attacks on Iran would be considered a ‘legitimate target’. It claimed American missions had departed from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire two days earlier, although Britain’s Ministry of Defence has not confirmed whether the base was used for those operations. The warning does not mean an attack on mainland Britain is imminent. However, it has forced the UK government to address whether Iran could reach the base and how Britain would respond if the conflict spread directly to UK soil. Why Has Iran Singled Out RAF Fairford? RAF Fairford is an important operating location for American long-range bombers in Europe. The base has previously hosted B-1 and B-52 aircraft, giving the US military a platform from which bombers can fly missions towards Europe and the Middle East. Britain has permitted the United States to use UK bases for limited operations intended to destroy Iranian missile sites and capabilities threatening ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The government has described those missions as defensive and lawful under international law. Iran rejects that distinction. From Tehran’s perspective, a foreign base used to launch or support US attacks becomes part of the military operation, even when Britain itself is not dropping the bombs. The growing operational importance of Fairford was already clear before the latest warning. The Royal International Air Tattoo, expected to attract more than 150,000 visitors in July, was cancelled because the base remained involved in military activity connected to the Iran conflict. Could Iranian Missiles Reach RAF Fairford? A direct strike from Iranian territory would be extremely difficult using most of Tehran’s publicly documented weapons. Iran operates ballistic missiles with ranges of around 2,000 kilometres and cruise missiles that may reach between 2,000 and 3,000 kilometres. Its Shahed drones are generally assessed to have shorter ranges. Britain lies beyond the normal reach of most of those systems when launched from Iran…
Politicians and others attacking Anne Widdecombe and Reform before she died. Is it any wonder with such rhetoric relentlessly leveled at reform that some may be moved to try to eliminate that supposed threat through lethal violence? Lisa Nandi, Labour’s culture secretary, was asked whether a form of fascists. She responded, quote, “If it walks like a duck.” The chairman of the Conservative Party likened reform to Nazis. Instead of sacking him, the leader of the Conservative Party said he was quote being funny. Badenoch, nothing about comparing anyone at reform to Nazis is funny. Karma described reform policies as quote racist and immoral. where streeting insisted that reform was dangerous, nationalistic, and quote using propaganda reminiscent of the 1930s and Lucy Powell described Mr. Farage as quote a threat to democracy. Look, these are a tiny fraction of countless examples. And keep in mind that the views Reform UK espouse are anything but niche. Our party has led over 350 national opinion polls in a row. And then there’s the media. In in the run-up to the 2024 general election, the BBC was forced to apologize to Richard Ty for calling reform far right. Just a few weeks ago, the BBC had to apologize to Nigel Farage for falsely claiming he said people should respond to the body cam footage of Henry Novak’s murder with quote white cold rage. And the aftermath of Anne’s death only serves as an appalling case study of the trends that I am describing. It was on the morning of the 10th of July that we learned of the devastating news that Anne Whitikham had passed away. Nine hours then passed before we discovered it was being treated as murder. During those hours, some in the media appeared gleeful. Adam Bolton appeared on Sky News referring to Anne as a spinster and an old maid. Peter Thatchel called her a bigot. This was after they learned she was dead. After arresting and releasing a man, the police then arrested a 28-year-old man who lived in South Yorkshire. By Saturday night, we knew that an, a high-profile Reform UK politician, had been murdered, and the chief suspect was a man who had driven over 300 miles to her house. We knew that nothing had been stolen. Yet, with all this in the public domain, the police, the authorities, and the media repeatedly appeared to all but rule out the idea that this could be a politically motivated attack. On the 12th of July, the BBC ran the headline. Police say no suggestion of political motive in Anne Whitikham killing after new arrest. That same day, the Guardian’s headline was quote, “nothing to suggest and Whitikham death politically motivated.” Now, at this stage, it was obvious something was not adding up. Reform MPs were devastated with grief for the loss of their friend, rocked by the shock of the brutality of her murder. But candidly, they were also fearful. Fearful for their lives. Fearful for the lives of their families. And when Nigel made the obvious point that he could see the attack was premeditated, a possibility any serious person had to confront, the mediaounded him for it. The Guardian ran the headline, “Police warned Whitaker murder speculation is unhelpful and distressing.” The Times worked with the former Tory MP to run the headline, “Nigel Farage accused of using Ad Whitam’s death as propaganda.” Former Conservative Party leader Ian Duncan Smith took the opportunity to condemn Nigel, declaring, quote, “Anne’s death is not an Agatha Christie novel.” As time has passed, Nigel’s assertion appears to have been wellfounded, and those who attacked him have been proven to be well, I’ll let viewers be the judge.
A YEAR of reporting restrictions before suspect goes on trial! Did Ann Widdecombe murder take down a minister in the next government? Zia Yusuf tears into Labour for comparing Reform to Nazis – ‘irresponsible!’ Reform’s home affairs spokesman warns of a ‘narrative so relentless’ against Nigel Farage and his allies that ‘it constitutes incitement’ Zia Yusuf has blasted Labour MPs for comparing Reform to Nazis as he warned that attacks on politicians are an “assault on our democracy itself”. Reform’s home affairs spokesman warned of a “narrative so relentless” against Nigel Farage and his allies that “it constitutes incitement”. He declared Ann Widdecombe’s “brutal” killing must be a line in the sand. Mr Yusuf said: “An attack on one politician is an assault on our democracy itself. Knowing Ann as I did, I know she would agree.” He continued: “I can tell you about the climate in which she was killed: a relentless narrative from politicians and the media that Reform UK is a threat. “A narrative so relentless it constitutes incitement. “And why are we targeted like this? Because we say things that are unfashionable among many in Westminster, but are popular in the country at large.” Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, former Health Secretary Wes Streeting and former Home Office minister Jess Phillips all launched personal attacks on Miss Widdecombe before she died. Mr Lammy called the former Tory minister a “poisonous bigot”, adding “we must stand up to them before it’s too late”. Mr Streeting said: “If only science had a cure for Ann Widdecombe.” When Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy was asked whether Reform were fascists, she responded: “If it walks like a duck…” Mr Yusuf said: “Politicians from other parties are perfectly entitled to disagree with our policies and criticise them. “They are, of course, free to criticise us. “But they must stop equating us to murderous regimes that butchered tens of millions and committed some of the greatest horrors in history. “The media should prosecute their role in holding all politicians to account, without stooping to endangering them or their families. “And we must now ask ourselves if we wish to be a country which has a functioning democracy.” Miss Widdecombe was “targeted” by the alleged assailant, detectives probing the murder revealed. And investigators are now examining whether the 28-year-old suspect was also plotting to attack other Reform politicians. Incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham has also said a “serious review” is needed into MPs’ security.
Liz Truss on GB News about Bank of England stopping QE just before financial problems she supposedly caused – report. Liz Truss calls for ‘revolution’ in the UK after blaming Bank of England for her downfall Ms Truss became the UK’s shortest-serving prime minister after her mini-budget caused weeks of economic turmoil in 2022. Truss: I wasn’t captain of the ship during mini-budget Truss calls for probe into Bank of England as bond crash ‘not my government’s fault’ Threadneedle Street’s report finds two thirds of spike in borrowing costs caused by risks in pensions industry Liz Truss has called for an investigation into the Bank of England (BoE) after a report by its own analysts found that the majority of the bond market crash under her short tenure was caused by dangerous practices in the pensions industry. The former prime minister said the report meant “the Bank of England itself acknowledge[d] the yield spike was not my government’s fault”. Ms Truss was in Downing Street for just 49 days before turmoil following her heavy-borrowing mini-Budget forced her out of office. A working paper, written by five members of Bank staff and published in May, studied risks which built up in the long period of very low interest rates following the financial crisis, as funds hedged against the threats to their solvency. They found that dangers mounted as institutions which were “not particularly sophisticated at managing their liquidity risk” set up positions which were vulnerable to sharp rises in interest rates. The analysts call this Lash risk – short for liquidity after solvency hedging. This occurred “well in advance of the onset of the crisis and before the election of Liz Truss as prime minister”, according to the report.

There are supposed to be 28% Reform voters in the BBC Question Time audience so why did only 8% put their hands up when asked if they were reform voters? Are Reform voters afraid to admit it, or are the BBC lying? Zia Yusuf takes over the show to ask this question of the audience. The Big Bang. BBC QT – Zia Yusuf on audience not being representative of Reform voters. BBC Question Time row erupts as Fiona Bruce called out over ‘bias’ – ‘Let me finish!’ The politics programme returned for a one-off special episode following Keir Starmer’s resignation. Fiona Bruce was called out on Question Time as the BBC presenter clashed with panellist Zia Yusuf. The Reform UK’s spokesperson for home affairs hit out at the show host for being “biased”. After the dramatic developments in Westminster, and with Andy Burnham now poised to enter Downing Street, Question Time returned for a special programme in Kettering. On the panel, the host was also joined by Labour chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee Emily Thornberry; Conservative Party chairman Kevin Hollinrake and economist and journalist Stephanie Flanders. Fiona reiterated the studio audience reflects the “political picture across the nation”. During the programme an audience member posed the question, “Should the Conservatives and Reform co-operate to challenge Labour?” The presenter addressed the audience: “I know there are plenty of you who support Nigel Farage. I’m just wondering if any of you support this idea of a coalition on the right?” Yusuf interjected: “Can you just check that though. Because you did ask earlier who supports Reform and I make out four people in the audience put their hand up. I find that interesting given that Reform is at 28 per cent in the averages of the polls.” He then asked: “Genuine question. Can we get a show of hands of people who support Reform?” A few audience members raised their hands. Fiona hit back: “I think you’ll see that’s a bit more than four.” To which, the politician replied: “I make that eight. It’s certainly nowhere representative, I’m afraid, Fiona.” The BBC host scolded: “Zia, there are more [Reform] people than that in the audience. They’re just not putting their hands up. And there’s nothing I can do about that, I’m afraid.” As Zia attempted a rebuttal, Fiona fumed: “Let me finish!” She added, “We [BBC] are scrupulous in making sure our audience is representative. I just want to point that out.” “And we all just have to take the BBC’s word for that,” Zia concluded. “Okay.” The studio audience replied in unison “oohh” to a stunned host, as Fiona clarified, “Well, I’m certainly not lying about that. I can tell you that.” The Reform UK politician then urged Fiona to “provide the evidence”. She went on: “Zia as you know we question everybody on the phone. We check their social media but also what happens not everyone wants to put their hand up and show their political allegiance on national television. And there is nothing I can do about it.” Viewers took to social media where some claimed the show was biased towards Reform. An X user wrote: “What a very poor QT, Fiona Bruce unable to hide her disapproval with Zia Yusuf and Reform, allowing the whole program to degenerate into a Reform bashing session. I though this special live edition was about Andy Burnham #questiontime.” Another agreed: “I don’t know how @ZiaYusufUK manages to stay calm on #questiontime constantly attacked by the uni party, hiding there own p**s poor performances in government…” “Reform is in every week on QT what’s your problem, I don’t see Lib Dems or Green much so shut up,” a third argued.
British Consulate in Jerusalem X account suspended for reporting IDF atrocities. Israeli shot across UK bows on day of new UK PM Burnham? UK Consulate in Jerusalem X account suspended after highlighting Israel’s abuse of Palestinian detainees The official X account of the British Consulate General in Jerusalem has been suspended after it published a joint diplomatic statement raising alarm over Israel’s treatment of Palestinian detainees. Visitors to the @UKinJerusalem account are now met with a notice reading, “Account suspended.” X states only that it suspends accounts which violate its rules, but the platform has not publicly identified the rule allegedly breached or the content that prompted its action. Yesterday the consulate published a four-part thread carrying a joint statement from 14 diplomatic missions, including the UK, Canada, the European Union and several European countries. “Over 9,000 Palestinians are detained in Israeli prisons, including thousands held without charge or trial,” the missions warned, highlighting Israel’s extensive use of administrative detention. The statement noted that human rights organisations have described conditions inside Israeli detention facilities as “harsh and life-threatening”. Palestinian detainees have faced inadequate food, denial of medical treatment, mistreatment and the continued suspension of family visits. The diplomatic missions called on Israel to meet its obligations under international law and guarantee detainees access to legal assistance, information about the accusations against them and fair trials. They also demanded that Israel provide the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) with immediate access to all prisons and detention centres holding Palestinians. Israel has prevented the organisation from visiting Palestinian detainees since October 2023. The missions welcomed an Israeli Supreme Court ruling in June which found that the government’s blanket ban on ICRC visits lacked a sufficient legal basis. Despite the ruling, humanitarian organisations say meaningful access has yet to resume. The statement also expressed grave concern over the deteriorating health of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the detained director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital. His lawyer recently reported that Israeli prison guards had severely beaten him and that his health was at serious risk. The UK Consulate’s account became inaccessible after the thread circulated publicly. The joint statement, however, remained visible through the EU’s diplomatic account and other missions which shared it.
Media literacy programmes. BBC Today programme [AUDIO] – bases in US. Cambridgeshire police face questions over decision to hand sexual assault case to US military Jacob Wulfson, who strangled woman he met online, was allowed to be tried at airbase court martial instead of facing UK justice A police force in England is facing mounting questions over its decision to allow the US military to prosecute the case of a woman who was strangled by an American fighter pilot in his apartment in Cambridge city centre. Cambridgeshire police has acknowledged that in the days after the assault in 2023, it allowed the US military to take “investigative primacy” in the case, despite the fact the crime took place within the force’s territory and when the pilot was off duty. The force appears to have accepted a claim by US military investigators that the victim, Sarah Steele, “did not want to be contacted” by local police about the case. However, Steele, 42, has insisted this claim by US military was false. The decision by Cambridgeshire police to cede responsibility to the US military paved the way for the pilot, Capt Jacob Wulfson, to avoid British justice. Instead, he was tried in a military tribunal at RAF Lakenheath, a US airbase in neighbouring Suffolk. Wulfson was convicted at the court martial in April 2026 of strangling Steele on their first in-person encounter after the pair met on a dating app. He was acquitted of penetrating her without her consent and doing so knowing she had been drugged, an offence that was charged as sexual assault and “aggravated sexual contact”. In an English court, an offence of sexual penetration without consent would probably have been categorised as rape. The jury in the court martial consisted of an all-male panel of Wulfson’s fellow air force officers, all stationed at the same base as him. These men also decided his sentence: six months in a correctional facility. He was also dismissed from the air force. Last week, Steele described her “degrading and distressing” experience of going through the US military justice system as a victim. She believes that the system, which was unfamiliar to her, “picked me up, chewed me out”. A US Air Force (USAF) spokesperson said it “negotiated jurisdiction” over the case with the local police. “Cambridgeshire constabulary agreed to let the USAF take the lead and was an active partner throughout the investigation,” they added….
Richard D. Hall – cruel nonsense. Richard D Hall – the guy picking on a dad and his daughter in wheelchairs. How do you think that looks? That’s right. It makes conspiracy theorists look like assholes and that’s its purpose: To undermine the movement and help introduce draconian new laws… Anybody else getting a strong whiff of counterintelligence from this story? Weird conspiracy theorist guy picking on a father and daughter in wheelchairs. Up there with ‘Weird conspiracy theorist woman picks on grieving mother’ as we’ve had in Ireland. Consider the optics for the public. Richard D Hall presents his low production shows with a big rotating globe behind him (some conspiracy theorist). Yes I know, all those 22s. I get it. Big clues dropped on purpose. It may well have been some kind of satanic ritual. Arianna Grande is a self-confessed witch and all that. But to claim that Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve didn’t go to the concert and got their injuries somewhere else is just ridiculous and that’s clearly the point. To make ‘our side’ look nuts and unsympathetic and downright nasty. That’s how these operations work. Surprised to see the amount of people falling for it but we’re clearly not used to this kind of warfare. I posted the above on Telegram to a mixed response and the inevitable drop in numbers. So be it. Most people on ‘our side’ have bought into the Richard D Hall set up so they’re cross when I point out obvious things like his questionable investigative journalism that doesn’t pass basic checks and balances. Here’s an example of the reactions in the comments section. This one from Damian: Aisling how low can you go, this is the same MSM that promoted the ?? and called people like you a conspiracy theorist. Richard could be wrong about nobody being injured but he is right about a lot of things and exposes some very interesting facts This right here is the problem I have with ‘our side’. Moral relativism. They think because Richard D Halll says some good stuff it absolves all his mistakes. WRONG. Grave error. Of course counterintelligence offers some interesting facts. That’s part of the job to hook you in, but the ultimate aim of the game is to destroy the reputation of conspiracy theorists by saying dumb shit (excuse my French), to undermine the movement and to give an excuse for draconian new laws. The main crisis actor I can detect from the Manchester arena attack is none other than Richard D Hall himself. The real crisis actor According to Richard D Hall, these people are all crisis actors, the 22 men, women and children who lost their lives in the suicide bombing attack at an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena in May 2017. Bomber Salman Abedi’s device injured hundreds more. Hall claims they’re also acting and they’re wasn’t a bomb, just a loud bang. The whole thing was staged, he claims. He’s ignoring the fact all the victims have been named and accounted for as laid out in this report form Sky News.
Did fascist faction in Reform UK want Widdecombe dead? On 10 July 1940 Antoine Pinay voted to give the Cabinet presided over by Marshal Philippe Pétain authority to draw up a new constitution, effectively ending the French Third Republic and establishing Vichy France. In 1941, Antoine Pinay was appointed to the Conseil National of the Vichy Regime. Nadhim Zahawi – list of his career – Le Cercle – Pinay Circle – Nazis – Deep State. Who Benefits? Motive for Widdecombe murder? Reform will likely benefit electorally from this brutal killing or ‘assassination’ Martin suggests. The faction within Reform which will be helped by the removal of nationalist, Catholic, experienced, traditional Widdecombe, who had family links to Bristin’s WWII role through her father is the Internationalist corporate faction represented by wealthy discredited former Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi, who joined Reform UK in January 2026:
– 1977: Nadhim Zahawi’s family flees Iraq to avoid fighting in the Iran/Iraq war. His grandfather, Nadhim al-Zahawi, had been 1950s/60s governor of the Central Bank of Iraq.
– 2000: Zahawi creates online political polling business YouGov with German Stephan Kukowski-Shakespeare
– May 2010: elected as Tory MP for Stratford-on-Avon
– 2015-2018: made chief strategy officer for Gulf Keystone Petroleum
– 2015-2018: made chairman of ‘Le Cercle’, or ‘Pinay Cercle’, far right international policy group, meeting secretly with many ex-intelligence officers, but Zahawi fails to declare this role in the Commons list of members’ interests

Secret ‘CIA-funded’ group linked to UK ministers Two current ministers and two recent justice ministers have been funded by an opaque transatlantic right-wing group which includes members of the intelligence community. Declassified finds eight current Conservative parliamentarians are associated with the organisation. The group, known as Le Cercle, was described by former Conservative minister Alan Clark in his diaries as “a right-wing think (or rather thought) tank, funded by the CIA, which churns Cold War concepts around”. Le Cercle has existed since the 1950s but has no public presence, and has never revealed its funders. Even the group’s existence is only occasionally disclosed. It is unclear how influential Le Cercle – which is believed to meet twice a year, once in Washington DC and once elsewhere – actually is. Declassified has found that eight current Conservative parliamentarians are associated with the group. Two current ministers – business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng and his deputy minister Greg Hands – have been funded by Le Cercle. Kwarteng was given £5,258 to travel to Bahrain in June 2019 for a trip jointly funded by Le Cercle and the Gulf regime, which is one of the UK’s closest allies. Three former justice ministers are associated with the group. David Lidington, the justice secretary from 2017-18, and Crispin Blunt, a justice minister from 2010-12, were previously funded by Le Cercle to attend meetings in Washington DC and Madrid. Rory Stewart, who served as a justice minister under Theresa May, was previously chair of Le Cercle. Several high-profile US figures are also linked to the group. US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who sat on America’s most powerful court from 1986 until his death in 2016, attended at least one Le Cercle meeting while sitting on the court. Other ministers known to have been funded by the group include former foreign secretaries William Hague and Margaret Beckett, the latter being the only known Labour associate. Current education secretary Nadhim Zahawi, a former business minister, is another previous chair of Le Cercle. Zahawi and Stewart both claim, despite their senior roles in Le Cercle, that they don’t know how the networking group is funded. A “Whitehall security source” told the Daily Telegraph that Stewart was an MI6 officer before he entered politics. Kenny MacAskill MP, a former Scottish justice secretary, told Declassified: “Given the nature of this group and its links with other states and security organisations much more candour is required. It’s essential in a democracy that those accepting hospitality from an organisation such as this are fully transparent”.
Burnham’s new cabinet. Wes Streeting new Defence Secretary. Changes from Keir Starmer’s final cabinet. David Lammy, Rachel Reeves, Darren Jones, Steve Reed, Peter Kyle, Liz Kendall, Hilary Benn, Jo Stevens, Lord Hermer, Nick Thomas-Symonds, and Baroness Chapman of Darlington left the government following Burnham’s appointment as prime minister. Rachel Reeves was replaced as Chancellor of the Exchequer by John Healey. She reportedly declined to be moved to Defence Secretary or Education Secretary. Louise Haigh was appointed First Secretary of State, a post last held by Conservative MP Dominic Raab from July 2019 until September 2021. No Deputy Prime Minister was appointed to succeed Lammy. Dan Jarvis, James Murray, Lucy Rigby, and Anna Turley were appointed to ministerial roles by Burnham, but no longer sit in or attend Cabinet. Lucy Powell, who is also the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, replaced Bridget Phillipson as Secretary of State for Education. Phillipson remained as Minister for Women and Equalities and as a full Cabinet member, reporting directly to the Prime Minister. Matthew Pennycook (Minister for Housing and Planning) was invited to attend Cabinet, alongside two newly created Cabinet-attending posts: Kanishka Narayan (Minister for Artificial Intelligence) and Hamish Falconer (Minister for Intergovernmental Relations and European Relations). The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology was abolished, with its functions split between Jonathan Reynolds’ department, renamed the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, and Lisa Nandy’s department, which reverted to its previous name of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. An Office for the Prime Minister and Cabinet was established within the Cabinet Office to house Number 10 (Prime Minister’s Office), No. 10 North, and core Cabinet Office functions. The Office for Equality and Opportunity was moved from the Cabinet Office to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, with all ministers holding equalities briefs moving from the Department for Education to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

John Healey new Chancellor of the Exchequer – 5 priorities. Chancellor John Healey sets out 5 priorities in first speech “Fiscal control must be the first duty,” he said. (1) Meet the fiscal rules (2) Drive “growth in every postcode” (3) “Buy British not if possible, but by design,” (4) “Create greater confidence, investment, innovation and profit” (5) “Make life more affordable” “Fiscal credibility is the bedrock of economic stability and national security. “We will (1) meet the fiscal rules.” Alongside fiscal discipline, Healey pledged to (2) drive “growth in every postcode”, saying every Whitehall department would now have responsibility for boosting the economy. He also unveiled a strong commitment to supporting British industry. (3) “Buying British not if possible, but by design,” he said, promising to prioritise UK firms in areas including transport, energy, defence, artificial intelligence and technology. Healey also sought to reassure entrepreneurs and small business owners. (4) “I want our government commitments to create greater confidence, investment, innovation, profit in our British businesses,” he said. “To those who have a bright idea or a small business they want to grow, I will back you.” Perhaps the most significant message for households came when the Chancellor turned to the cost of living. Healey pledged to (5) “make life more affordable”, pointing to the Government’s decision to remove VAT from electricity bills as an example of the direction ministers intend to take. “Today you’ve seen the way that we have cut tax from electricity bills just to give people a little more breathing space with their household finances in the winter,” he said. The comments are likely to fuel speculation that the Autumn Budget could include further measures aimed at reducing the tax burden on households.
Palestine Action barrister on trial next week. Palestine Action barrister’s prosecution criticised as ‘chilling’ CBA chair says contempt charge over closing speech by Rajiv Menon KC has left lawyers fearful of doing their job Haroon Siddique Legal affairs correspondent The prosecution of a leading human rights barrister for contempt of court over his closing speech during a trial of Palestine Action activists has left lawyers fearful of doing their job, the chair of the Criminal Bar Association (CBA) has said. Rajiv Menon KC, who was acting for the defence, is due to stand trial next week, accused of breaching the judge’s directions in the trial of six people for a direct action protest at an arms factory of the Israeli subsidiary Elbit Systems UK in Filton, near Bristol, in 2024. On Wednesday, senior legal figures criticised the prosecution of Menon, believed to be the first barrister to be prosecuted over remarks made during a closing speech. One day, your life and future may depend on a jury. The integrity of that legal process is in peril right now Riel Karmy-Jones KC, the chair of the CBA, told the online meeting: “We have heard of barristers changing their speeches or being told to change them – including in cases where no direction has been given by a judge. And that really can’t be ignored, because people at the criminal bar have become uncertain and scared of what they can and can’t say; scared that somehow they might be – at the end of a trial where they have faithfully represented their client themselves – facing a charge of criminal contempt. “It is starting to feel like it’s about the politics of the subject matter of the trial, rather than the core principles of how a barrister represents his client.” Last month, the trial judge in the Palestine Action case, Mr Justice Johnson, referred the question of whether Menon should face contempt of court proceedings to another judge, Mr Justice Nicklin, who subsequently ruled that he should. It came after a previous attempt to refer Menon was overturned on appeal on procedural grounds….
Everyone in Cabinet links to Israeli lobby. JudithBrown@substack.com. The Control of Information substack. Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings. It is an occupational hazard of living in society… Celeste said there’s nothing wrong with being a snowflake. No, you can be as snowflake-ish as you like, providing you don’t try to impose that on other people. I am offended, upset, insulted at least thirty times a day — tough! Celeste upset me, Celeste wounded me, Celeste has caused me trauma. She poured scorn on my Paso Doble. And does she realise that in fifteen years’ time I am still going to be traumatized, and I am going to form a movement, #MeTooDancers, who were insulted at the Oxford Union? Oh, come on! Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings. It is an occupational hazard of living in society, and if you really can’t take it, become a hermit. But, more seriously, on the opposite end from the snowflakes (poor little darlings), on the opposite end from them are the totalitarians. And that was how Hitler was so successful, because he did not allow any free speech whatever. And if you spoke out against that sickening regime, or indeed against the Soviet Union (bell rings…Two minutes more? No, I need at least five) you would end up in prison, if not worse. Totalitarians like to curtail your right to disagree with state orthodoxy. Now, for state orthodoxy, substitute the words social orthodoxy, as exemplified by social media, Twitter, and other such places, where people decide what is and what is not acceptable. Now, I would love to stand in the Union and oppose and argue with and take to pieces a Holocaust denier. But, if we say, “No, we can never have the holocaust denier, because his views are so offensive that he cannot be accorded a platform”, then what happens? That sort of viewpoint is driven underground, where it can quite often flourish. And people whisper behind their hands, “Oh, you know there is something in what he says, but we are not allowed to hear it.” Let’s hear it, and by hearing it we can destroy it. We should also remember that today’s heresy can become tomorrow’s credo. How fortunate we were that the Wilberforces of this world, the Pankhursts, the Martin Luther Kings, and everybody else who has, over time and with massive effort, changed society, how grateful we may be that they were not no-platformed because it offended the society of their time! And just remember this: You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say. Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few. Now, I recently was asked if I objected to sharing a platform with somebody who had spoken in favour of (had not been involved in, but had spoken in favour of) the IRA. Now, I lost a friend in the Brighton bomb. I missed the Brighton bomb by less than twenty minutes. And I looked at this person and I said, “So, you wanted to blow me up”, and she said, “Well, I didn’t want to do it myself”. I do not object to sharing a platform and arguing with her, because by arguing with her I can expose what is wrong. It is absolutely right that we should allow people, no matter how profoundly we disagree with them — I hate to utter cliches in this august debating hall, but I am going to utter one — that no matter how much we may disagree with somebody, we should defend to the hilt their right to say it, and that is something I have believed all my life. That you succeed by defeating your opponent, not by wishing him away. You get nowhere by trying not to hear what is being said, not to hear the arguments. As I said at the beginning, and I do passionately appeal to you tonight, this is not about which side wins. This is about whether the Oxford Union, of all bodies, will vote in favour of the diminution of free speech. Whether we will agree (and I say “we” because I am a life member of this place) that somebody else may decide what we can and can’t hear. And just remember this: You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say. Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few. You can listen to Ann’s speech here. I do not agree with all of the policial views Ann expressed in this speech, but I profoundly agree with her right to say them and defend them. I think that politicians were perfect during Ann’s time in parliament, but they were better prepared for their life of representing the British people, having fought in wars and held real jobs – everything from lorry drivers to teachers to doctors company directors. They bought a breadth of experience to their parliamentary role. Parliamentarians from all sides of the political debate are not now of the same calibre. Rest in Peace Ann Widdicombe.

US/Saudi nuclear deal. Trump’s Saudi nuclear deal risks igniting a Middle East arms race, lawmakers warn The agreement, which could let Riyadh enrich its own uranium within a decade, is sparking warnings that Turkey, Egypt and others could soon demand the same deal, unraveling years of U.S. nonproliferation policy. Some lawmakers in both parties are warning that the newly inked U.S. nuclear agreement deal with Saudi Arabia could ignite a Middle East arms race at a particularly dangerous moment — when the Iran war is already provoking conflict across the region. While the deal is the culmination of a process that started before the war with Iran, announcing it now has an immediate effect on the fighting, argued Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who has been critical of Saudi Arabia. “Everything that happens in Riyadh has a reaction in Tehran,” he said. “Part of the reason the United States has been reluctant to give this agreement to Saudi Arabia is because we knew it would end up pushing Iran closer to a nuclear weapon, and that remains true today.” Even the potential of future nuclear enrichment by Saudi Arabia could swiftly shift the balance in the region and beyond, said Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.). “I worry about nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, Japan, South Korea,” Kennedy said. With the Trump administration already committed to the deal with Saudi Arabia, the power to reject it now shifts to Congress. But blocking the agreement would be an uphill fight, since lawmakers would need a veto-proof two-thirds majority in both chambers. The 30-year agreement announced Wednesday allows private American nuclear companies to export to the Saudi market and creates a framework for American safeguards, though the administration did not release any details. While it does not guarantee Saudi Arabia would enrich uranium, and any such activities would likely be at least a decade away, lawmakers argued even this initial commitment could have ripple effects. Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, expressed concern that it could further derail the U.S.’s push to get Iran to commit to zero enrichment of uranium. “I’m very concerned about nuclear proliferation in the Middle East that potentially might have the effect of causing that,” he said. The U.S. and Saudi Arabia have discussed an arrangement for nearly two decades in which the U.S. would help develop Riyadh’s civil nuclear program — a relationship that could provide billions to the American nuclear industry…
From the secret V2 slave labour mass murder SS bunker straight to the USA! Ali McForever (not bad for a white witch) – technology WW2 to today. Operation Paperclip Part 4: Nazis Built Nasa #publicinterest #journalism #freespeech #history #ww2 Mittelbau-Dora Concentration Camp Mittelbau-Dora Memorial Kohnsteinweg 20 Today, the Mittelbau-Dora Memorial is located on the north-western outskirts of Nordhausen, at the foot of the Kohnstein. “Dora” was founded at the end of August 1943 as a subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp. A dense network of subcamps soon developed in the Harz Mountains, which were merged to form the independent Mittelbau concentration camp in autumn 1944. After the camp was established, the inmates were housed for months in catastrophic conditions in the underground tunnels. It was not until spring 1944 that an above-ground barrack camp was built. By then, more than 5,000 inmates had already perished from hunger, murderous labour and maltreatment. In January 1944, assembly of the V2 rockets began in the underground “Mittelwerk”. At the same time, Armaments Minister Albert Speer initiated further construction projects in the region around Nordhausen. Underground aircraft factories were to be built there. In order to exploit the labour of concentration camp inmates on the construction sites, numerous subcamps were set up in the region. In autumn 1944, they were merged with the Dora camp to form the independent Mittelbau concentration camp, which consisted of almost 40 subcamps in April 1945. Most of the inmates of the Mittelbau camps had to perform extremely hard forced labour on the construction sites. When US troops approached from the west in early 1945, the SS evacuated the Mittelbau camps. Thousands of inmates died on the evacuation transports and death marches. Only in the Dora camp and in a satellite camp in the Nordhausen Boelcke barracks did the SS leave behind a few hundred sick and dying inmates. They were liberated by American soldiers on 11 April 1945. In total, the SS deported more than 60,000 people from almost all parts of occupied Europe to the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp between August 1943 and April 1945. At least a third of them did not survive the end of the war. After liberation, the Dora camp initially housed liberated forced labourers and concentration camp inmates under American, and from July 1945 under Soviet administration. From autumn 1945, the camp served as accommodation for German expellees from Czechoslovakia for a year. The wooden barracks were then dismantled and all other buildings in the camp, with the exception of the crematorium, were demolished. After the dismantling of the production facilities, the Soviet military administration blew up the entrances to the tunnels. In the mid-1960s, the SED district executive in Nordhausen established the “Mittelbau-Dora Memorial”. After the end of the GDR, the memorial work at Mittelbau-Dora was reorganised. Today, the focus of the work is on the historical events on site and the significance of Mittelbau-Dora as a model case of forced labour in concentration camps.
Roger Waters on Tucker Carlson show. Burnham’s speech. Can he do anything? Exposing the Lies of 9/11, JFK, Gaza, and How America Is Being Pushed Toward Nuclear War Tucker Carlson There’s never been a legitimate criminal investigation into 9-11, the deadliest terror attack in US history. Roger Waters is trying to change that. Roger Waters—legendary Pink Floyd co-founder and one of the world’s most outspoken advocates for peace and justice—is backing a British 9/11 family in their historic effort to secure a new inquest into the death of Geoff Campbell, who was killed in the North Tower on 9/11.

Ex-Labour MP Chris Williamson – what he thinks of Burnham and new Cabinet. Dennis Healey PM from 1970s – taken for a ride by officials. Denis & John Healey, Comparing what two Labour Chancellors SHOULD have done. Ex-MP Chris Williamson Peter Borenius Chancellor John Healey sets out 5 priorities in first speech What You Should Know about Labour’s Economic Policy. New Chancellor John Healey has promised to combine strict control of the public finances with measures to help families through the cost-of-living crisis, as he set out his economic priorities in his first speech to Treasury staff. Just days after being appointed by Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Healey used his first address at HM Treasury to outline a five-point plan focused on fiscal discipline, economic growth, backing British businesses, wealth creation and making life more affordable. His speech also offered the clearest indication yet of the approach the Government is expected to take ahead of the Autumn Budget, with ministers under growing pressure to ease the burden on households while sticking to tough spending rules. Opening his speech, Healey described returning to the Treasury as “a huge privilege” after nearly two decades away. He said: “I’m still burning with a passion about this institution as a force for stability, for security, for growth – a force for a successful Britain.” The Chancellor also paid tribute to his predecessor Rachel Reeves, praising her handling of the economy. He said: “She brought financial discipline. “She enabled growth. “She delivered two full Budgets, a spending review… and she will always be recognised as the first ever female Chancellor of this country in nearly 700 years.” Looking ahead, Healey warned Britain continued to face significant economic challenges. He said the country was grappling with “low growth, high debt, too much inequality, overstretched public finances”, as well as growing international threats to both the economy and national security. Setting out his priorities, Healey made clear there would be no departure from the Government’s fiscal rules. “Fiscal control must be the first duty,” he said. “Fiscal credibility is the bedrock of economic stability and national security. “We will meet the fiscal rules.”
Foreign Secretary Ed Milliband. Peter Ford – Shia, Sunni Islam – state of Lebanon – peace gone in Iran war – Burnham coup. Sunni-Shiite Schism Compared with Catholic-Protestant Divide All these four sects have been ‘created’ by non believers to subvert the true Greek/Turkish/Russian ORTHODOX faith and set the faithful killing each other – so perhaps that’s why Catholics and Shiites are similar – and Sunnis and Protestants are too? A disagreement 14 centuries ago over Islamic leadership following the death of the Prophet Mohammed –whether it should be by merit or bloodline–divides a religion that will be world’s largest this century. CHR Comment: Reporter Gregg Zoroya attempts to make the Sunni-Shiite conflict more understandable to western readers by comparing it to the conflicts that followed the Protestant Reformation. Both the Muslim conflict and the Christian conflict had issues of authority at their center and resulted in wars, which makes the different events comparable to some extent. Zoroya points out that the conflict in Islam was over who would succeed the prophet Mohammed as a leader. In the Reformation, the conflict was different. Before the Reformation took place, the medieval church was developing the modern papacy and often conflicted with kings and councils over issues of authority . Martin Luther appealed to the Scriptures as the ultimate authority since popes and councils erred. When the papacy took offense at Luther’s teaching and concluded that he was harming the church, Luther and his supporters appealed for a council to address the issues. The papacy did not wish for such a counsel to take place, which would undermine papal authority by putting the Protestants and the papal supporters on equal footing. Ultimately, the papacy did call what we know today as the Council of Trent (1545-1563), which established the doctrine and practice of Roman Catholicism in distinction from Protestantism. Not long afterward, the European wars of religion arose (Thirty Years’ War; 1618-1648), which brought horrible devastation. When reviewing religious history, it is important to note that conflicts often have their origin not in religion itself but in the varied interests of religious people. There are always political and economic factors that attach themselves to the spiritual issues.
Elbit protest in Bristol. Hundreds protest outside Bristol base of Israeli arms manufacturer Protesters from as far as Liverpool, Birmingham, Dorset, Bournemouth and London gathered in Filton on Thursday to demonstrate against defence technology firm Elbit Systems. The weapons manufacturer, which is based on Bolingbroke Way and in Almondsbury, is accused by activists of supplying the Israeli government with arms. “It’s a disgrace what’s happening,” said protestor David Moorhead, who had travelled on a specially-run bus from Liverpool. “Elbit systems shouldn’t be in this country making weapons to sell to Israel which are killing thousands of people; making weapons of death so that children, women and men are all killed. “Andy Burnham needs to stop it immediately.” Elbit Systems denied weapons made in Bristol were sold to Israel but did not not comment on whether weapons made elsewhere were Protestor Sophie, who did not want to give her surname, said: “We have seen a live-streamed genocide for three years (and) we know that the British government has participated. “I just find it astonishing that Israeli weapons companies continue to operate on British soil. “Money is more important than life to the UK government. It’s the world gone upside-down. A spokesperson for Elbit Systems said: “Any claims that our Bristol facility supplies the Israeli military or Israeli Ministry of Defence are completely false.” However, they did not comment on whether other Elbit Systems facilities supply the country. “We will continue to do everything possible to protect our employees in Bristol, who perform a vital role in delivering advanced technology to the British Armed Forces,” the spokesperson continued. Protests amassed in their hundreds For Sophie, the hundreds gathered in Filton were still not enough of a protest. “I just wish that more people would wake up and be aware of what’s happening in their own country,” she said. “We are complicit. We are the reason for the problem all the way back decades and decades and decades ago. “This problem actually started with us.”
New York Times – the cancer of Zio-Nazi genocide is spreading… Omar Bartov: Israel is unlikely to face a reckoning for its actions. … [Gaza] may well presage a future of genocide. I’m a Scholar of Genocide. We’re Entering a Terrifying New Era. July 21, 2026 By Omer Bartov Dr. Bartov is a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. How do genocides end? In most cases, there are two options. Either the perpetrators accomplish their goal, or a military force stops them, and accountability ensues. In 1904 the Imperial German Army began a campaign that nearly wiped out the Herero and Nama peoples in what was then German South West Africa, now Namibia, through fatal expulsions into the desert, incarceration in forced labor camps and outright murder. No one intervened. In 1915 the Ottoman Empire murdered vast numbers of Armenians it sought to remove from the heartland of Anatolia or caused their deaths by forced marches. Feeble efforts to bring former Ottoman leaders to account were quickly abandoned. To this day, Turkey denies the genocide. Conversely, because the Nazi regime was defeated in World War II, its genocide of the Jews and its other mass crimes were adjudicated at Nuremberg. Other genocides that also ended with the military defeat of the perpetrators — such as in Cambodia in 1979, in Rwanda in 1994 and in Bosnia in 1995 — culminated in some sort of reckoning, however belated and incomplete. Denial of what occurred thus became impossible. In the earlier case of genocides that succeeded because of impunity at the time or the absence of subsequent accountability, the perpetrator state went on to benefit from its criminal actions. The invention and codification of the concept of genocide after World War II was meant to prevent the persistence of this dynamic of impunity and profit. What we have seen unfold in Gaza, where Israel stands accused in the International Court of Justice of committing genocide in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, appears to portend a new future for the crime. It is a future in which other nations or leaders may have an incentive to pursue genocidal policies knowing they will not only get away with murder but may even benefit from it. It is a future in which the countries and international organizations that had been committed to stopping and punishing genocide may give license to its recurrence. Since the current cease-fire in Gaza went into effect on Oct. 10 and President Trump’s 20-point plan was endorsed by the Security Council on Nov. 17, more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks. The military now controls nearly 70 percent of the Gaza Strip. Two million Palestinians, who previously lived in one of the most densely populated areas in the world, are now confined to a third of it, trying to survive in devastated spaces lacking the most basic humanitarian infrastructure. After the cease-fire and exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, Phase 2 of Mr. Trump’s plan began in mid-January, which intends to bring about the full demilitarization and reconstruction of the strip, to be managed by a transitional technocratic Palestinian body. Overseeing the process is an international Board of Peace chaired by Mr. Trump. His administration has spoken about creating a multibillion-dollar futuristic “New Gaza” in the long term and is reportedly planning to build a major military and personnel base for multinational forces. This will inevitably consign Palestinians in Gaza to the role of construction workers and service providers for the rich inhabiting what used to be their land. How did we get here? The Israeli political and military leadership conducted an operation in Gaza that killed at least 70,000 people (as admitted now by the Israeli military), most of them civilians; wounded close to 200,000; and caused vast numbers to die indirectly because of the utter destruction of medical facilities, housing and infrastructure, as well as the deprivation of food and clean water. As I wrote in July 2025, as a scholar of genocide, I believe this was a concerted attempt to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza, in whole or in part, and that the operation therefore reached the high bar of the 1948 Genocide Convention’s definition of this crime.

Richard Kemp Colonel – supporting IDF. BBC Admits ‘Regret’ After Again Failing to Disclose British Colonel’s Links to Israeli Defence Force The broadcaster failed to inform listeners of Colonel Richard Kemp’s connections to the IDF, despite an earlier rebuke from the Charity Commission, following an investigation by Byline Times Iain Overton BBC Admits ‘Regret’ After Again Failing to Disclose British Colonel’s Links to Israeli Defence Force On 13 June 2025, retired Colonel Richard Kemp appeared on BBC Radio’s Stephen Nolan Show to discuss Israeli military strikes on Iran. Introduced simply as a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan and counter-terrorism expert, Kemp praised Israel’s actions as “very successful” and speculated that the Iranian regime might collapse under the pressure of Israeli airpower. What listeners were not told – again – is that Kemp is a director and trustee of UK Friends of the Association for the Wellbeing of Israel’s Soldiers (UK-AWIS), a British charity that raises money to support the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). This omission by the BBC is all the more striking given that, just days earlier, the UK Charity Commission issued an official warning to UK-AWIS for serious regulatory failings, citing misconduct and mismanagement in the administration of the charity, after investigating the charity for using footage of the killing of Palestinians as a fund-raising tool. Charity Commission Still Hasn’t Concluded Investigation Into UK Charity One Year After Revelation It Raised Money for Israeli Soldiers Using Video of Killed Palestinians The investigation was launched after Byline Times revealed the charity had potentially breached UK law The Commission’s June 9 warning accuses UK-AWIS trustees – with the retired Colonel Kemp among them – of failing to exercise adequate oversight of the charity’s digital content. The breach involved a video, hosted on the charity’s website and YouTube channel, which contained what the Charity Commission called a “distressing scene”. This footage, first flagged in investigative reporting by Byline Times, appeared to show thermal imagery of Palestinian individuals being targeted by the Israeli military. The concern was that a UK charity had used footage of Palestinians being killed by the IDF to raise money that then offered support for members of the IDF. According to the Charity Commission, the trustees had outsourced editorial control of the website to a PR agency and a former executive director, and allowed third-party material to be uploaded without review. In so doing, the trustees had “failed to act in the charity’s best interests” and “exposed the charity’s reputation to unnecessary risk”. The Commission ordered UK-AWIS to review all its media content, implement a proper social media policy, and ensure trustees familiarise themselves with official guidance. UK-AWIS’s latest financial account show that the charity spent more than £53,000 on legal and professional fees in the year to 31 March 2024 – a large sum for a charity of its scale. The trustees attributed this expense to the Charity Commission’s investigation into its fundraising materials.
Haaretz – Israel planning to dim the sun – to fulfil demonic Bible prophecy or fight climate change? The Sky Will Turn Dark Matthew 24:29-30 Immediately After Thevstress Of Those The Sun Will Be Darkened, The Moon Will Lose Its Brightness The Stars Will Fall From The Sky And The Powers Of Heaven Will Be Shaken And Then The Sign Of The Son Of Man Will Appear In Heaven Can Israel Save Humanity By Climate Engineering What Are They Up To? Bold, Almost Reckless: Israeli Scientists Seek to Block Solar Radiation in a Radical Climate Experiment At the forefront of efforts to save humanity through climate engineering stands a startup from central Israel. The experiments are underway, the promise is immense – and so are the risks Gid’on Lev On June 8, 1783, a 25-kilometer-long fissure opened in Iceland, unleashing the eruption of about 130 volcanic craters. For the next eight months, lava shot from the earth in fountains reaching 800 meters high. Around 120 million tons of sulfur dioxide poured into the atmosphere, obscuring the sun. Nearly a quarter of Iceland’s population died, along with most of its livestock. One eyewitness, the pastor Jón Steingrímsson, described the unfolding catastrophe in an account recalled by Scientific American: “First the ground swelled up with tremendous howling, then suddenly a cry shattered it into pieces and exposing [the Earth’s] guts, like an animal tearing apart its prey.” The effects reached far beyond the small North Atlantic island. Sulfur particles rose into the stratosphere and traveled on atmospheric currents across the Northern Hemisphere, forming a veil that altered the global climate. Monsoons in India and Africa weakened dramatically, while one-sixth of Egypt’s population died of starvation due to the dwindling Nile. Europe and North America had an exceptionally harsh winter. The Mississippi River froze as far south as New Orleans, and ice floes drifted through the subtropical waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists estimate the eruption lowered average temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere by about 1 degree Celsius. Ice floes with penguins floating through the Gulf of Mexico may sound like an appealing vision in today’s warming world. But achieving it, perhaps, does not require a catastrophic volcanic eruption.
Centuries long battle for control of the English throne between the angels and the demons – King Charles III’s pernicious role Gavin Ashenden, Catholic Chaplain to Queen Elizabeth – Monarch’s being Protestant or Catholic – King Charles ‘Defender of the Protestant Faith’. Anne Widdecombe on mortality. we always knew that Prince Charles was uncomfortable with his oath to defend the faith. He always said so. Let me just go back and say and give you a little bit of a history lesson. It might be interesting to some people and I’ll try not to make it too boring. Um, a lot of people take their view of kingship or the monarchy from Disney um or from fairy tales and the idea is that the king is in charge. But actually in this country um the king and the monarchy are a bit of a tame poodle. So and and Catholics will be interested in how this came about. uh Henry VIII, a Catholic monarch, decided he wanted to be the antipope and so he set himself up as the pope in this country and the title would give was the supreme governor of the church replacing the pope. Well, there were other antipopes all through Europe in history. Uh they came and went uh the [snorts] the period of three popes that in the Avenon exile was one of our our worst ones. So this was just the kind of UK’s version of it. Um however there was then a struggle uh at the time of the reformation between Protestants and Catholics and the monarchy became a kind of hostage and it swung one way and the other. It swung to the Protestants with Edward the 6th. It swung the other way back to the Catholics with Mary. It swung back to the Protestants with with Elizabeth and everyone thought that was fine and finished with. And then in came the Steuarts. And um uh people were more worried by James I’s big tongue and homosexual tendencies than his religious life. But um when it came to his son Charles I, he began to develop some some sort of Catholic delusions of grandeur as far as the Puritans were concerned. And there was a civil war as a result. And the Puritans won it. So they said, “Right, well, no, we’re in charge, but on the other hand, we’re upset that we killed the king, so let’s invite the king back and try again.” But but let’s be very clear, the Protestants have won. So back came Charles II. And and he was more um his life was was fuller of of sort of carnivals and dancing than it was religious observance. But he did show some rather dangerous Catholic instincts which the Puritans were very worried about. And they were right to be worried because when he died and his son came, his son was ready to become a this is James II, a fullyfledged Roman Catholic. So there was trouble. They locked him in the Tower of London and then they said, “Look, we don’t want to chop your head off of being a Catholic. We’ve done that once and it didn’t get us very far, but we don’t like it. So we’re going to leave the door unlocked. please contrive your escape and just go off somewhere else. So he was a charming and interesting man. I’ve been reading a new book on him and and actually a man of greater integrity and substance than propaganda Protestant propagandists allows. Meanwhile, Parliament then rubbed its hands together in 1688 and said, “What are we going to do? We’re not having this again. We’re going to have a Protestant monarch.” So they got a descendant of of James II’s who was married to a Dutch Protestant and they said why don’t you come over and be instead of protector of orange come and be king of England and that was a real step up so William and Mary came over different Mary of course and um then they gave way to the Hannavverians but the deal was set by Parliament Parliament we’re inviting you not to be king as in to have authority we’ve got authority but you can be the kind of cherry on the But you must be Protestant. And one of the things Parliament had done was to give the monarchy back the title that was originally Catholic, which the Pope had given Henry, defender of the faith. Well, the Pope took it away when Henry misbehaved. Uh it was given because he had written a an attack on Luther’s attack on the seven sacraments. Uh but but Parliament so liked the title. They thought this was a glamorous and honorable thing to have…

NOT The BCfm Politics Show CANCELLED and attempts to intimidate us
July 2024 – Tony, Dave and Martin’s NOT The BCfm Politics show was CANCELLED/EVICTED in a no fault, no notice, no appeal, eviction by The People’s Republic of Stokes Croft (PRSC) arts centre – An email from Chloe Slater and Keith Cowling explained that: ‘Transphobic’ leaflets had been left in the building by a recent guest (who denied it) making Transsexual users of the building feel ‘offended’ and ‘unsafe’. To quote: ‘Please let us know when you or Dave would like to come and retrieve your equipment and drop off your keys. Kind regards’ PRSC Directors (Keith Cowling, chair) PRSC / Stokes Croft China 17-35 Jamaica St Bristol BS2 8JP. Chloe Slater (formerly Jez and self-defined as ‘she’) also made it difficult for us to retrieve the last of our equipment by inferring we couldn’t be trusted, we were made to wait outside their building for over 30 minutes to return their mixing desk in December 2024.
[UPDATE channel restored by YT in July 2025] October 2022 – Tony’s Public Enquiry Channel opened in March 2008, with 13 million views, over 1,600 videos and 26,000 subscribers is removed under false pretences by YouTube – A video Tony recorded in New Zealand ‘Bill Gates, ID2020 & Revelation: Quaker Tony Gosling on Covid 19 & the Bible’ and uploaded on 8th April 2020 got a ‘third strike’ but YouTube’s ‘medical misinformation’ regime was introduced in September 2021 so should not have included as ‘strikes’ videos uploaded before that date. Documentary makers are just about the only public interest investigators left in the NATO zone. From the top down, our mainstream media, police, political parties & intelligence services are being compromised by feudal banksters, secret societies and the mafia. Key people intimidated by psychopathic black magic types and their pliable drones who will even kill to take over positions of power? Just search for “John Scarlett” and “Dodgy Dossier” and you’ll see what I mean. The Zionists are every bit as fundamentalist and twisted as the leaders and followers of ISIS.

March 2020 – BCfm’s weekly Politics Show presented by Tony Gosling with Irish Republican Labour activist Martin Summers was forced off FM, now online only by station manager Pat Hart. He decided the show should be ‘rested, due to the pandemic’ on 24 March 2020 and then refused to communicate at all when we requested to do the show remotely. Bristol Community FM (BCfm) charity ‘CEO’ Patrick Hart is a longtime personal friend of Bristol’s all-powerful right-wing ‘Labour’ mayor Marvin Rees. Now on Internet only NOT The BCfm Politics Show is available 17:00-c. 21:00 live on Fridays. Pat Hart replaced us with an inane student show repeating MSM stories called The Bristol Agenda. If you’d like to share your views on his deliberate dumbing-down and pro-Covid jab mismanagement you can contact UK broadcasting regulator Ofcom or BCfm board chair and the ‘Don’ himself, here.
February 2019 – Ofcom complaint result: UKLFI exposed as creation of Israeli foreign ministry – Bristol Post article: BCfm cleared after being reported to Ofcom for anti-semitic conspiracy theories – It could have resulted in BCfm radio station being shut down if the complaint was upheld Tony Gosling reported to Ofcom by UK Lawyers for Israel after being accused of anti-semitism A Bristol radio station, which had one of its programmes reported for anti-semitism and racism has been cleared by Ofcom. The radio regulatory body received a complaint from “UK Lawyers for Israel’ over a show on BCfm radio, hosted by investigative journalist Tony Gosling. The weekly politics show, on the popular community radio station based in Easton, was reported for several allegations on a show which aired on November 23. Tony Gosling, who was a former BBC journalist between 1989 and 1993, has been producing and presenting ‘The Tony Gosling Politics’ show every week on BCFM radio for 11 years. They have released a statement which reads: “Whilst we are supportive of all our volunteer presenters, The Tony Gosling Politics Show only represents approximately ten percent of our political output content wise, and less than two per cent of our entire weekly output.” Mr Gosling’s programme looks at local politics and he interviews a range of councillors and MPs in the city. The show is also perhaps more well known for its alternative look at international politics, and he has a cult following online from across the world. Mr Gosling has made regular appearances on national media including the politics show with Andrew Neil on BBC One, and international channels such as Russia Today, Channel1 Russia, NTV, and recently for both Turkish and Lebanon TV.
November 2012 – Tony gets death threats on the phone from the Jewish Defence League – ‘you’re a dead man walking’ – a man calls him and Tony records the call. Audio of UK Jewish Defence League (JDL) death threat against British journalist Tony Gosling (2012) – Avon and Somerset police Special Branch investigate, trace the caller, and after six months report to Tony that the individual has been served a caution that they will proceed with a prosecution for harassment under the 1861 offences against the person act. Seems pretty clear this death threat was issued alongside the lies, copied below, which were published on their blog by London based UK JDL in November 2012. Firstly Tony Gosling is not a ‘homophobe’. That accusation was first made in an article published by the ‘Harry’s Place’ blog, penned by Zionist David Toube and propelled by him anonymously into Private Eye in 2008. It refers to Gosling’s criticism of senior teachers at Bannerman Road Primary school in Bristol who used homosexual early learning picture books against the express wishes of the parent governors. His criticism was about the deception by teaching staff not because of the homosexual content of the books. Secondly, if you follow the JDL link you’ll find what Tony Gosling actually says about the ‘Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion’ says “…I don’t think there is much doubt that the Protocols are fake…” Thirdly he is not a member of Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign and has never been to any of their meetings.
Autumn 2014 – Tony’s documentary production and distribution business shut down by its bank. Our thriving Co-op business bank account ordered closed for undisclosed reasons. Tony Gosling and Ben Edwards founded i-Contact Video Network to distribute documentaries on VHS video and DVD and to make their own documentaries as well as attend news events and sell video footage to TV news channels. Amongst the films we distributed were Operation Solstice, Coconut Revolution, Mark Purdey and Organophosphates, McLibel, 9/11 In Plane Site, Ludicrous Diversion and The Battle of Trafalgar. These, plus books, and even a board game about drug dealing ‘Dollars and Dibble’, were all available via mail order and we supplied libraries around the world too. The bank had clearly been ordered to investigate us for money laundering, although they never admitted it. All the questions they asked Ben and I were about proving our identity through passports etc.. When we did, yet more letters kept arriving demanding more proofs, birth certificates etc. and eventually when one of us missed supplying the required information, within a week or so of being asked, the account was summarily closed and we got a cheque made out to one of us with the few hundred pounds that was in the business bank account. Since neither of us could get a business bank account up and running for at least a few months and the bank account meant nobody could any longer use the website, we made the reluctant decision to shut it down. Thus was a thriving business killed off by the Co_operative bank. Having said that, co-op were not quite the worst. We did apply to open an account at Bristol’s ‘ethical’ Triodos bank, who proceeded to string us along for several months and then said our business was too risky for them to provide an account!
