Part One – Local and National News Review
Donald Mack joins Tony and Martin. Results so far from local, Welsh and Scottish elections. Reform gets by far the most Councillors. Elections: Analysis in maps and charts, and find out the result from your seat Over 5,000 seats were up for election across 136 councils in England. Find out the result from your seat with our new tool. Labour have lost more than 1,200 English council seats and Reform have made massive gains for the second year running. In Wales, Plaid Cymru held off Reform to become the largest party in the Senedd for the first time. The SNP lost votes in Scotland but remain the largest party. Both parties will need to work with others to hold a majority, however. Sky News’ National Equivalent Vote (NEV) is an estimate of each party’s vote share in England council elections projected into a nationwide vote. Reform lead on 27% of the vote, with the Conservatives in second with 20%. 2026 National Equivalent Vote Image: 2026 National Equivalent Vote That is an improvement for the Tories compared with last year’s local elections, while Reform have slid backwards slightly. Labour are in third, with just three points separating them from both the Greens and the Lib Dems. Across English local elections, Reform have gained over 1,300 council seats and 13 councils, mostly at the expense of Labour who are down over 1,200 seats and have lost more than 30 councils. For the first time, Sky is able to bring you the results from your specific seat. Search for your postcode below, or click or tap around the map to explore detailed results: The Conservatives have also suffered heavy losses, and have lost nearly 500 seats and eight councils. The Lib Dems have gained almost 800 seats and 13 councils, while the Greens have gained more than 300 seats and four councils. Sky’s election expert Professor Michael Thrasher has projected a redistribution of each party’s seats in the House of Commons elected in July 2024, based on the NEV. The result is a hung parliament with no single party able to pass the threshold of 326 seats required for an overall majority, but with Reform as the largest party. House of Commons projection based on 2026 National Equivalent Vote Image: House of Commons projection based on 2026 National Equivalent Vote Reform UK would win 284 seats, 42 seats short of a majority. Labour would win 110 seats compared to 96 seats for the Conservatives, despite winning a smaller vote share. The Liberal Democrats would come fourth with 80 seats, followed by the SNP winning 36 seats. Plaid Cymru and the Greens are each projected to win 13 seats. More than 40 councils have changed hands in what was a dramatic and historic election night. The British election map has been re-drawn again, and the multi-party politics era will leave many councils attempting to operate with complex coalitions or minority administrations.
Scotland and Welsh devolved elections Elections for devolved parliaments in Scotland and Wales delivered significant blows for Labour and the Conservatives, while nationalist parties and Reform performed well. The Senedd elections in Wales were dominated by Plaid Cymru and Reform, both of whom have taken approximately a third of the vote each and seen significant gains. These gains have largely been at the cost of Labour and the Conservatives, who have both seen lowest-ever vote shares in the Senedd – with Labour ending up at just 11.5%, down 24 points from the last elections in 2021, and the Conservatives at 11%. Eluned Morgan, leader of the Welsh Labour Party, resigned on Friday after losing her own seat in the Senedd. Turnout in Wales this year was the highest on record since Senedd elections began in 1999, at 51.6%, and the first time that more than half of the electorate turned up to vote. By contrast, turnout in Scotland dropped significantly since 2021 – down 10% to 53% – but is more in line with pre-2016 levels. Holyrood’s electoral system gives people two votes: one for a specific candidate to be a constituency member of Scottish Parliament (MSP), and another regional vote, which goes towards a wider party or independent candidate. The SNP remained the largest party with 58 seats, with one regional MSP and the rest constituency-based. But the party fell short of a majority, and its their constituency vote share was down 9.2% from the last elections in 2021. As in England and Wales, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has seen the biggest jump in vote share, to 15.8%, making it the third largest party in vote share and tying with Labour for 17 seats. It failed to gain any constituency seats but won the highest number of regional seats. Though Labour’s performance (19.2%) may be poor for a party which once ruled Holyrood, its drop in vote share since 2021 is minimal (-2.4%) compared with the Conservatives (-10.1%).

It quickly became clear the asalent was mentally ill. He’d earlier attacked a non-Jewish man in South London. All three victims survived. There was little to suggest the attacker was part of any broader terrorist or political group. But coming in the wake of a series of attacks on Jewish property, the stabbings were given wall-to-wall coverage by UK media. The existence of the non-Jewish victim effectively erased in much of the reporting, even by the police, who announced he’d been charged following the stabbing of two men rather than three. The incident prompted a chorus of demands from across the political spectrum for a crackdown on demonstrations against the genocide in Gaza termed hate marches including from reform party leader Nigel Farage. I’m afraid we have allowed marches to take place with chants being heard over the treets of London and other cities and we’ve not acted. Uh, and the government has been weak, weak, weak on all of this. Farage, of course, was recently exposed as having been, at least in his youth, a crude and extreme anti-semite. British politics, Palansky quickly found himself a target. He was abused in the street. You little weasel. How dare you? You’re supposed to be Jewish. Your mom Ava and your dad Phillip. You’re like a crackhead. Later the same day, he was subjected to Nazi salutes. Most disturbingly, when Palensky shared a post on social media criticizing the methods used to arrest the Golders Green attacker, he was subjected to an extraordinary public rebuke from the head of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Mark Rowley. Rowley not only criticized him for interfering in operational matters for which Palansky later apologized but also for failing to show sufficient solidarity in confronting anti-semitism. A highly unusual political intervention in the week before national elections. Rowley then doubled down on national television, adding his voice to those urging restrictions on the right to protest. I’m really troubled by um what we’ve seen is many of these marches they set out with an intent um to march near synagogues etc. and every single time we put conditions on to prevent that. But even that intent causes me concern that they repeatedly ask to do such things. This is simply not true along with much else that’s been said in the last week. It’s important to remember that what’s being proposed here is restrictions on the right to protest genocide, the killing of at the very least 72,000 people, close to a third of whom are children. We’re talking tens of thousands of small children maimed, mutilated, and murdered. Killings in which Britain is complicit through surveillance flights and arms supplies. Restricting the right to protest is a serious curtailment of British civil liberties. We feel it’s vital that you, the public, are in possession of accurate information. My colleague, Lorna Hosford, has pulled together a very basic fact check.
Iranian guy stabbed in London – only one report in news. Starmer – people unfair on him? Currygate Labour – headlines to grab attention. ZIONIST SUPPORTING IRANIAN PAHLAVIST THUGS OUT OF CONTROL WITH COPS BLESSINGS. Same account that threatened him is literally out and celebrating his attack… PRESS RELEASE – UK/IRAN: Protestor stabbed at anti-war demo in Downing Street A protestor has been stabbed outside Downing Street during a demonstration against the US/Israeli war against Iran. The victim, Mohammed Reza, a father of two, was attacked by two men taking part in an anti-Iranian counter demonstration. He was taken to hospital for treatment. The extent of his injuries are as yet unclear. Police have arrested the attackers. Eye-witnesses report that the police seem to have paid little attention to keeping the counter protestors away from the main demonstration, organised by the Hands Off Iran Coalition. This is despite the fact that police are aware that pro-monarchist anti-Iran protestors have a history of trouble and violence. Hands Off Iran Coalition representatives attending tonight’s demonstration said that the counter protestors were freely walking across the road to intimidate and threaten their rivals. Tonight’s stabbing occurred after counter protestors had threatened the main protest with physical violence in full view of the police. It seems that police ignored or at the very least underestimated the warnings they have repeatedly been given about the threat posed by pro-monarchist thugs, who in recent weeks have targeted mosques, centres and individuals that have shown support for Iran. This includes throwing Molotov cocktails at the Islamic Centre of England in London. Police name man charged with stabbing during Downing Street protest The stabbing occurred as protesters gathered outside Downing Street for an anti-war rally The man was stabbed outside Downing Street during a protest against the Iran War A man has been charged with the stabbing of another man during a protest near Downing Street this week, as demonstrators gathered to decry the war in Iran. Earlier this week, Met Police officers responded to reports of a physical assault at 7.18pm on Wednesday, April 22, at Whitehall. Five men were arrested at the scene in connection with the incident, which police understand to be the result of a dispute among those attending the protest. One of these men, who is in his 40s, was taken to hospital with an apparent knife wound but he was later discharged. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening nor life-changing. Vahid Madaffard, 37, of Kenilworth Avenue, Harrow, was charged overnight with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a bladed article in a public place. He has been remanded in custody to appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court this morning, Friday, April 24. Four other men who were arrested at the scene have been given bail while police enquiries continue.
PR voting system – in Scotland, and Wales. Voting boxes left overnight with security guard – security guards can easily be paid off. Vote count delays raise ‘real concerns’ over ballot security EXCLUSIVE: A three-day election count, and a pause between the polls closing tonight and ballot verification tomorrow morning, has raised serious questions over arrangements for the countAll the votes cast in today’s local elections across Croydon will be left unverified somewhere in the Fairfield Halls for at least 10 hours after the polls close. Sources from different political parties have raised serious concerns over a lack of security in a public building for such a prolonged period. Elaine Jackson, the council’s interim chief executive and the Returning Officer for the elections of Croydon’s Mayor and 70 councillors across the borough’s 28 wards, refused to comment when Inside Croydon asked her to explain how she intended to ensure that the votes will be tamper-proof. When the polls close at 10pm, the ballot boxes from Croydon’s 153 polling stations, from Crystal Palace in the north to Coulsdon in the south, will be taken to the count venue, which this year is the Fairfield Halls arts complex on Park Lane. At most local authorities, the ballot boxes, once delivered and unloaded, would immediately be verified by election officials while observed by the various parties’ election agents, prior to the count beginning as soon as possible, and with results being declared through the night. But not in Croydon in 2026. Jackson has decided to extend the vote count over two days, with voting in the mayoral election not being counted until tomorrow, Friday May 8, while votes in the local election count will only begin at 9am on Saturday – 35 hours after the polls closed. “Verification for both counts will begin at 8am on Friday May 8, ” a statement from the council says. That’s a 10-hour gap between the ballot boxes being secure in the polling stations and the votes being verified “You have to say it will be a matter of serious concern that people’s votes will remain unverified for such a long time, under uncertain security arrangements,” one experienced Croydon politico told Inside Croydon. “Ballot boxes could go missing, and no one would be any the wiser.” Croydon’s arrangements this year reflect the experience from 2022, when an overnight count at Trinity School starting just before midnight on Thursday dragged on until tea time on the Sunday, in what was an omnishambles of disorganiation, making Croydon a laughing stock across the country. Jackson, who was then the council’s assistant chief executive, will have been a leading figure in the organisation of the 2022 count. That count began badly, when some election agents and observers were denied access to monitor the verification. “It is an essential part of the process, to ensure all is done correctly, for election agents to be able to oversee the verification of the votes.” According to the Electoral Commission, “The verification of the used, unused and spoilt ballot papers is a legal requirement, and is central to the declaration of accurate results.” Verification is the tallying up process when the number of ballot papers issued is checked against the number of votes cast. “This is a record of the number of ballot papers expected and the number of ballot papers counted, along with an explanation for any variances. “Any agent may make a copy of this,” says the Electoral Commission’s advice to Returning Officers and election officials. “You should make copies available for the agents present once verification has been completed. “The verification statement is a key communication tool that will help to ensure that candidates and agents are confident that the processes at the verification and count are transparent and that they will produce an accurate result. “As with all aspects of the verification and count process, transparency is key and the process followed should be clear to all present.” According to Croydon Council, “Once we have verified the ballot papers for both the Mayoral and council elections, the ballot papers for the council elections will be placed back in the ballot boxes and sealed. “Those boxes will remain in the count areas in locked cages until Saturday morning, when we will begin counting the votes for the council elections.” And the council also said: “Security staff will remain on duty all night with the ballot boxes containing the council ballot papers.” Some agents and candidates will have been present at the council offices earlier this week for the initial checks on the thousands of votes submitted by post. Indications from this highly confidential process confirmed that voting in the mayoral elections will be very close.
Need to take money out of politics. Shell quarterly profits £5bn, £20Bn annually with BP its £30bn. BP quarterly profits £3bn. Shell’s profits “obscene” as European oil majors’ profits surge by 43% + + Six leading European oil majors’ make combined $22 billion in first quarter of 2026 – the highest quarterly profits since 2022 + The combined Q1 2026 profits of these six oil majors is 43% higher than the same period in 2025, reflecting a significant windfall from the US-Israel war in Iran + Combined, the three biggest European oil majors have raked in more than a quarter of a trillion in profits since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine As Shell announces bumper Q1 profits of $6.9 billion, new analysis from Global Witness reveals that six of Europe’s leading oil majors – bp, Shell, TotalEnergies, Eni, Equinor and Repsol – have recorded the highest quarterly profits since 2022, when they reaped the benefits of the fallout from Russia’s war on Ukraine. In the first quarter of 2026, the combined $21.7 billion* in quarterly profits recorded by bp, Repsol, TotalEnergies, Eni and Equinor was 43% higher than the same period last year, reflecting a significant windfall from volatile oil prices caused by the US-Israel war in Iran. According to Global Witness’ analysis of quarterly filings, these six fossil fuel giants have not collectively generated this much money since Q4 2022. The three biggest European majors – Shell, bp and TotalEnergies – have earned $252 billion since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Global Witness head of news investigations Patrick Galey said: “As lives are destroyed through war and people everywhere fear rising bills, it’s galling to see oil giants like Shell raking in obscene amounts of money. “Sadly, we all know this isn’t the first time oil giants have cashed in from war – when Russia invaded Ukraine 4 years ago, our energy bills spiralled as fossil fuel firms raked it in. “And now we’re seeing the same pattern repeat itself: the combined profits of Europe’s six biggest oil firms were up by 43% compared to the same period last year. These are clearly the spoils of war….
Bomber Beeching book by journalist and former Member of te European Parliament (MEP) Richard Cottrell – it was the US petrodollar lobby that closed British railways. Doctor Who? Atomic Bomber Beeching and his War on the Railways. by Richard Cottrell (2013) The book describes the efforts of the British Government to force the diversion of rail traffic to roads and the motor transport industry by shuttering much of the rail network. A key figure in this scheme was Doctor Who? – Doctor Richard Beeching – a physicist who it is revealed in this book for the first time helped to design the British A Bomb during his wartime work at top secret weapons establishment. Hence Atomic Bomber Beeching and his War on the Railways. Beeching’s reign of terror in the early 1960’s resulted in the closure of a third of the UK rail network, mostly on on entirely specious grounds to please his political masters in the Conservative Party. Parts of the system that he closed are now being painstakingly and expensively re-opened. The railway that he saw at death’s door is now carrying more passengers annually than its entire previous history. So Beeching was wrong? Of course. But Richard Cottrell’s book opens up a wide debate on why transport planners in the UK always get their knitting in a twist. Cottrell uses the Beeching cipher to explore the disasters of British airship adventures, the draw out motorway development saga, why the British motor industry produced so many dinosaurs and eventually collapsed, the long series of post war aviation maladventures including the ill-fated exploding Comet and the disastrous Concorde adventure, the drawn out fiasco of the Channel Tunnel, bizarre plots aided by Margaret Thatcher to block Docklands from getting a direct tube line connection in order to placate the City of London, the London Crossrail project and now the developing scandal of high speed rail transport. Cottrell brings in the long standing fatwa of British Airways and partner airlines to block high speed rail connections between the UK and much prized airline destinations in Europe. He makes the contrast between the French way of get up and go and the British method of muddle and confusion which led to the utterly botched model of railway privatisation. This, he says, is nothing more than a giant roulette wheel run by the Treasury extracting huge bids to run passenger trains. Cottrell is a passionate advocate of public transport, quite a contradiction for a former Conservative Euro MP, for which he is completely unapologetic He is a previously published author with previous works on Europe’s farm policy, the murder of a British journalist and undercover secret agent in Greece during the fascist military junta, and lately a book on Gladio: NATO’s Dagger at the Heart of Europe
Elbit protester’s barrister has been charged with contempt of court and the judge Mr. Justice Johnson has been promoted – defendourjuries.net. A copy of the order obtained by The Grayzone exposes Judge Johnson’s egregious weaponization of contempt of court charges to sway jurors. Defendants and their lawyers are prevented from mentioning the principle of jury equity, which holds that a judge is forbidden from “[directing] a jury to convict.” They are also prohibited from inviting jurors to acquit the six activists based on conscience. That the activists believed “they had a defence to a charge of criminal damage” under British law likewise cannot be uttered. Judge Johnson’s order furthermore bars the defendants and their lawyers from doing the following: ++ Providing any reference to “Elbit’s activities in manufacturing weapons and supplying them to Israel; the nature of the property that the defendants damaged or destroyed; the defendants’ beliefs that weapons and other technology at Elbit’s factory would be used to kill or injure others, including children.” ++ Discussing “the history of the Middle East, including events…since October 7 2023,” or “Israel’s activities in Gaza” at any time. ++ Probing the jury’s “background knowledge and/or view about those events.” ++ Mentioning that the six defendants “were arrested for terrorism offences,” subsequently remanded in custody for up to 18 months – under conditions so onerous several went on hunger strike, while one defendant attempted to commit suicide – then “acquitted of offences of aggravated burglary and violent disorder” in February. Johnson’s naked attempts to rig the trial do not end there. At least nine people have been arrested for camping outside Woolwich crown court, where the six PA activists are being retried. Their crime was to have held signs reminding anyone entering the building – including jurors – of the principle of jury equity. Their signs read, “Jurors have an absolute right to acquit according to their conscience,” and “Jurors deserve to hear the whole truth.” They face contempt of court charges as a result.

Trump’s war on Iran. ABC News – US and Iran exchange fire in Strait of Hormuz – Trump giving Iran a ‘love tap’. ‘Just a Love Tap’: Trump Insists Cease-Fire With Iran Is Holding Despite Ongoing Attacks Traded The U.S. and Iran have traded fresh blows, testing the limits of a shaky cease-fire and threatening to unravel what American officials said was significant progress towards a peace deal. American forces on Thursday carried out retaliatory strikes on Iranian military facilities that allegedly launched a series of “unprovoked” missile, drone, and small boat attacks against U.S. warships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said. U.S. forces intercepted the Iranian attacks and no damage was done to the three U.S. Destroyers, USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87), according to CENTCOM. President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that Iranian missiles and drones “dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!” Iran responded to the airstrikes with “reciprocal action,” attacking American military vessels near the Strait, according to Iranian state media. The United Arab Emirates said early Friday that it was dealing with missile and drone attacks for the third time this week. The U.A.E., along with other Gulf states, has faced attacks from Iran in retaliation for the U.S. and Israel launching the war since late February. Iran’s military said on Thursday, “Some countries on the shores of the Persian Gulf supported U.S. in tonight’s aggression, and that has not gone unnoticed by IRAN either.” The latest attacks came a day after U.S. forces seized an Iranian oil tanker allegedly violating the U.S. naval blockade. Iran has called both the seizure and the naval blockade violations of the U.S.-Iran cease-fire that went into effect on April 8. Iran also pushed back on the U.S. characterization of Thursday’s airstrikes, saying that the U.S. hit civilian areas, according to Iranian state media.

Link between Iran war and Ukraine war? WW2 – 3000 Canadians sacrificed in Dieppe 1941 to keep Ainsworth Davies spy activities secret. The real James Bond helped kill thousands of people, mostly British allies. He was haunted by the ghosts of “perfectly loyal and innocent people who had been caught up in our operations…” He was just “following orders” which made no sense from a patriotic p.o.v. “We were not acting from patriotism or high moral principles. We were not doing this for England or Uncle Sam. As usual, we were doing what we had been told to do: we were carrying out our orders.” For example, Creighton tipped the Nazis off to the exact time and location of the 1942 Dieppe raid which cost 3000 Canadians their lives. He was told that the British wanted to test Nazi defences. The real reasons: convince Stalin it was too early for a second front, and build up Creighton’s credibility when it came time for the Normandy Invasion. During the 1930s, the Nazi Party looted thousands of pounds, hiding the proceeds in secret accounts. The key to getting it back lay with Nazi treasurer, Martin Bormann. This book tells the story of Ian Fleming’s raid to snatch Bormann out of Berlin. Creighton led a commando raid into the city.During the 1930s, the Nazi Party looted thousands of pounds, hiding the proceeds in secret accounts.

Creighton led a commando raid into the city.Creighton also talks about “Operation Tiger” in April 1944, a training exercise at Slapton Sands, Devon that was rudely interrupted by eight German torpedo boats. The toll: over 800 US soldiers drowned. (Gestapo Chief Heinrich Muller wrote that the Nazis were tipped off by a German spy.) The fiasco was kept a secret to protect D-Day morale. Creighton says survivors were interned or killed by a sea mine in order to keep the secret. (p. 25) In spite of the fact that the Devon shoreline resembled Normandy, the Nazis supposedly failed to draw the logical conclusion.

How the British Army introduced the world’s first mobile microwave data communication system, called Ptarmigan, in the 1980s. Royal Signals Museum, Blandford Forum piece –– Tim Stankus, Adam Forty – Monty’s HQ lorry he used in the North Africa campaign, and the Ptarmigan radio . Ptarmigan military communications led to mobile phones A military communications system first used in the 1980s, and now on show in a Dorset museum, provided the technology for the mobile network we know today. The Ptarmigan system is one of ten objects chosen by Dorset’s museums for the BBC’s History of the World project. It looks at significant or important objects that help tell the story of the world. Ptarmigan provided secure and reliable communications to any user across a battlefield area for the first time. The innovative and influential system was first used by the Army in the early 1980s and, after regular upgrades, has only just been replaced by a new system, called Bowman. The original system – portable banks of dials, switches, computers and controls designed to go inside a military vehicle – is now installed in the Royal Signals Museum in Blandford Army Camp. The museum exhibits many examples of military communications equipment from the Royal Signals Corps, the part of the British army responsible for developing and providing army communications. The museum’s business manager Adam Forty said: “The thing about Ptarmigan is that it’s the whole mobile phone system, it’s the mast, the backroom, and it’s all transportable. “It’s like a mobile mobile system. “The important thing to remember is that it was running computer networks, running digital information systems of all sorts of varieties so the extent you could communicate within the military was astonishing. “The technology initiated the development of the mobile phone. “Ptarmigan was the original digital concept that the civilian manufacturers caught wind of, and that set them off in thinking about civilian applications for it.” Tom Moncere, a former military project research officer and now Secretary of the Royal Signals Institute at Blandford Camp, was involved in the process of making the technology used for Ptarmigan accessible to the commercial telecommunications companies of the time. He said: “Ptarmigan allowed communications to extend from the solider in the frontline trench to a whole network, and obviously, industry, who had been thinking along similar lines, got to hear about what we were doing. “In fact, I remember we were approached by representatives of the two telecommunications companies, Vodafone and Cellnet, who asked us to help them with some [mobile phone] trials.” Several trial handsets were given out to military staff for them to test, with prearranged people and locations for them to contact, over the course of several months. The trials proved so successful the testers were reluctant to return the equipment afterwards.

Iran war bringing down world economy. Iran war could push a flagging US economy over the edge With jobs falling, growth slowing and inflation risks rising, an Iran oil shock could be the jolt that tips US into recession The “fog of war” refers to confusion and uncertainty on the battlefield and the attendant possibility of fatal error. This principle has a parallel when it comes to the economic consequences of wars as well, especially when they occur in a region that is a chokepoint for the production and shipment of one-fifth of the world’s oil and a third of its natural gas. Although no one really knows how deeply the ripple effects of the joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran will impair the global economy, the Gulf kingdom of Qatar issued a dire warning on March 6, 2026, that reflects those concerns: “This will bring down the economies of the world,” Qatar’s energy minister said. The impact includes one of the largest oil price shocks in history, which briefly pushed the price of crude to nearly US$120 a barrel on March 8. As for the US economy, it was already showing signs of weakness. Data released on March 6 showed an unexpected loss in jobs in February. As an economist, I expect the biggest economic risks of this war to be inflationary pressures and slowing growth due to the rising price of oil. In addition, uncertainty from the “economic fog of war” could make consumers reticent to spend and businesses hesitant about hiring and investing. These conditions will make it challenging [impossible? ed.] for policymakers to steer the economy….
World Press Freedom Day – stop killing so many journalists in Gaza. On World Press Freedom Day, Pope honours journalists killed in war zones The pope urged the rememberance of journalists who lost their lives pursuing the truth, particularly in conflict areas. Pope Leo has marked World Press Freedom Day ?by condemning ?violations of media freedom around the world and paying tribute to journalists killed while reporting in ?conflict zones. At the end of his weekly Sunday prayer in a sunny Saint Peter’s Square at the Vatican, the pontiff ?said the day highlighted both the importance of independent journalism and the growing threats faced by reporters. “Today we celebrate World Press Freedom Day … unfortunately, this right is often violated, sometimes in blatant ways, sometimes in more hidden forms,” he said. World Press Freedom Day, ?sponsored by the UN cultural agency UNESCO is intended to show support for media organisations that come under ?pressure or censorship. It is also an opportunity to commemorate journalists who have been killed at work. The Roman Catholic leader urged the faithful to remember journalists and reporters who have lost their lives pursuing the truth, particularly in conflict areas. “We remember the many journalists and reporters who have been victims of war and violence,” ?the pope said. A report last month by the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs’ Costs of War project found that Israel’s war on Gaza was the deadliest conflict for media workers ever recorded, with Israeli forces having killed 232 Palestinian journalists since October 2023. More journalists have been killed in Gaza than in both world wars, the Vietnam War, the wars in Yugoslavia, and the United States war in Afghanistan combined, the report found.

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!
