In yesterday’s blog, I wrote about how, in their BBC Breakfast programme, the BBC gushed about the supposed ‘good news’ from the IMF (International Monetary Fund) as the IMF had upgraded the expected GDP growth for Britain for 2026. But in the BBC Breakfast supposed ‘news’, the BBC ‘forgot’ to mention that the IMF also downgraded Britain’s growth forecast for 2027.
Well, on the Six O’Clock News the lying, lefty, Andy-adoring scum at ‘our’ BBC were at it again – salivating over the new IMF upgrading of the UK GDP growth forecast for 2026 while once again ‘forgetting’ to mention the IMF downgrade for 2027.
Scum! Complete and utter scum!
That Miliband magic
Here’s a chart from the Visual Capitalist I thought readers might find interesting. It shows the growth/decline in car production for the major car-producing countries. You’ll notice that under our brilliant former Energy Secretary, Ed ‘wrecking ball’ Miliband, with a decline of 15.5% the UK had the largest decline in vehicle production of all the countries featured.
Well done Ed. It seems that everything you touch turns to sh1t. (Click on link below for the chart)
And now you’re our Foreign Secretary, no doubt you’ll bring your reverse Midas Touch to our international relations and wreck them just as you wrecked our industrial production with the world’s highest energy prices.
The BBC Breakfast programme reported this morning: “The UK economy is forecast to grow by more than previously expected this year …….. The organisation’s (International Monetary Fund – IMF) latest report, which is closely watched by the government, said the UK economy would expand by 1.3% in 2026, up from the 1% it predicted in July”.
And the BBC presented this as a great achievement for our fake pipsqueak PM Andrew ‘EU’ Burnham’s shambles of a government.
But the Daily Mail reported: “The IMF cut its 2027 growth forecast for Britain from 1.3 per cent to 1.2 per cent ‘as higher energy prices and long-term interest rates weigh on consumption and investment’.
There seems to be a bit of a discrepancy between what BBC Breakfast claimed and the Daily Mail’s version.
The explanation of this discrepancy comes if you read the full BBC article (which very few people will look at) on the BBC’s website: “higher energy prices and interest rates hit growth in 2027, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said.“
What has actually happened was that the IMF has slightly upgraded UK growth forecasts for 2026 but downgraded them for 2027. BBC Breakfast editors chose to emphasise the upgraded 2026 forecasts while not mentioning the 2027 IMF downgrade, while the Daily Mail chose to ignore the 2026 upgrade and just focus on the 2027 downgrade.
That poses the question – can you believe anything in the news nowadays or is everything spun to suit the political biases of the supposed ‘journalists’?
Outnumbered?
Yesterday Reform delivered a (IMHO) very hard-hitting attack on Burnham’s Open-Borders illegal migration catastrophe. Here’s a speech by the wonderful Eva Vlaardingerbroek at a recent conference in Hungary in which she raises the concern that white Europeans will soon be a minority in their own countries:
First I just wanted to briefly mention the (IMHO) lying POS Andrew ‘EU’ Burnham’s convenient but ludicrous claim that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum. We all can see what Burnham’s plan is. He’s claiming the Brexit vote was fixed by Russia and so was invalid. Then he has an excuse to take us back into his beloved EU. It seems that our pipsqueak fake PM has forgotten that Obama visited the UK just before the Brexit vote and warned us that, if we voted to leave the EU, we would be last in line for a trade deal with the USA. That’s real interference PM Andrew Pipsqueak.
The French ‘school’ protests
Just a few pictures today. Here are the typical images the mainstream media are showing us about the French ‘student’ riots. Here’s one with lots of white rather attractive French ladies looking very angry:
And here’s another one of predominently white students protesting:
But here’s the kind of picture of the ‘student’ protests our mainstream media won’t be showing us. Some protestors are holding a flag which doesn’t seem to be the flag of France (yet?):
And here’s another one:
I rather suspect that what is happpening in France may have started as a protest against conditions in the French education system. But the riots have turned into a leftist uprising against the French government largely driven by our friends of Arabian origin. And that’s an aspect of the uprising our media don’t really want us to see.
In 2004, a Lebanese christian, Brigitte Gabriel, published her memoir – “BECAUSE THEY HATE”.
In 1975, she was ten years old and living in Southern Lebanon when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into her country and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians. Rape, torture, mayhem and murder followed.
So it might be worth reminding ourselves of the facts about the Hamas attack on Israel:
over 4,000 Hamas terrorists stormed over the fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel in order to kill, mutilate, rape, torture, behead and burn to death as many Israeli men, women and children as they could. Many of those raped, tortured, mutilated, beheaded, kidnapped and killed were teenagers attending a rock concert
hundreds of Palestinian civilians poured into Israel following the terrorists all intent on raping, mutilating, torturing, beheading and killing Israelis and looting anything of value they could find
around 4,300 rockets were launched at civilian targets in Israel just prior to the invasion and at the same time another 9,000 rockets were sent to attack Israeli civilian targets
in addition to those attending the rock concert, over 20 Israeli hamlets were attacked resulting in about 1,200 Israeli deaths. The population of Israel is about 10 million. So, were such an attack launched on Britain’s 65 million population then the equivalent death toll would be around 7,800. Yet the usual anti-semitic Jew haters bleat that Israel should not have responded with overwhelming force
Hamas took 251 hostages
the anti-semites who marched weekly in London seem unaware that there had not been an Israeli in Gaza since 2006. So Israel can hardly be accused of occupying Gaza
following the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2006, there had been one election in Gaza. Hamas won the election and proceded to tortute and murder all opponents. But I don’t remember any of the usual anti-semites marching to protest about the Hamas murders
since 2006, Hamas have received at least $50bn in aid. That’s about $25,000 for each of Gaza’s 2 million population
what did Hamas do with all this money? Build a prosperous state for the Palestinian people? Nope. Instead Hamas used over 6,000 tons of cement and 2,000 tons of metal to build a 500 kilometre network of military tunnels to be used to help Hamas kill Jews. The entries and exits to the tunnels were placed under schools, hospitals and mosques making it difficult for the Israelis to attack them without incurring massive civilian casualties
before the Hamas invasion, there were at least 20,000 Gaza Palestinians working in Israel earning wages massively above anything they could earn in the Gaza Strip. That, of course, is now finished
But what is also forgotten is that Israel gave Hamas three weeks to hand over the perpetrators and the hostages. When Hamas refused, Israel responded with overwhelming military force. And now all the Jew-hating supposed ‘liberals’ accuse Israel of genocide. Meanwhile, Hamas refuse to disarm and allow the rebuilding of the Gaza Strip because Hamas couldn’t give a damn what happens to Palestinians. Hamas are only interested in rearming so they can kill more Jews.
Question1: How many of England and Wales’s 49 Chief Constables are women, do you think?
10?
15?
20?
30?
The answer is that 19 (approximately 40%) of Chief Constable posts in England and Wales are held by women. This figure is up significantly from just four female chief constables in 2019.
Question 2: What percent of police officers are female?
10%
20%
30%
40%
The answer is that women make up more than a third (around 34.9%) of all police officers across forces in England and Wales.
Question 3: What percent of new police recruits do you think are female?
10%
20%
30%
40%
The answer is that female entrants account for roughly 42.5% of new police recruits.
Question 4: In the year ending March 2025, how many hate crimes were recorded by the police in England and Wales (excluding the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS)
10,000
20,000
30,000
50,000
100,000
The answer is probably comfortably over 150,000:
Of course, I am not suggesting that there is any connection between the politicisation of our police forces and them increasingly becoming enemies of the people with the rise in the number of females in our police ‘services’. That would be misogynist. And that’s probably a hate crime nowadays. Moreover, being politically correct, I’m sure a five foot something policewoman would be just as effective at tackling a dangerous knife-wielding criminal as a six foot something policeman.
But I can imagine that some cynics might suggest that the feminisation of our police may have had some influence on the police moving away from being unbiased enforcers of law and order to becoming left-wing enforcers of political orthodoxy who see crushing wrong-thought and wrong-speech and protecting illegal, probably benefits-scrounging, West-hating Third-World migrants as being far more important than catching real criminals and preventing real crime.
I don’t often travel by train in Britain any more. But yesterday (Saturday 3 October) I had the misfortune to take a SouthWestern train ‘service’. It was complete chaos from start to finish – everything late, connections missed, incompetent useless staff with IQs in the low double figures, constant wrong information, replacement coach which left without many of the passengers – everything that could go wrong went wrong.
So, I decided to have a look at this utterly useless train company’s performance statistics. Here are some of the most gruesome:
Number of employees: 2021/22 – 5,265: 2025/26 – 5,711
Brilliant – while employing ever more (IMHO) useless employees, on the key operating statistics which affect SouthWestern Railways passengers, performance got worse every single year between 2021/22 and 2025/26.
So what on earth were SouthWestern Railways worthless buffoons in management doing all these years? Probably having ‘important’ meetings to discuss how to implement more DIE (Diversity, Inclusivity and Equality)? Or discussing how to go green to help save the planet from supposed ‘Climate Change’? Or maybe just looking at ways to increase their own bonuses every year?
For some reason, I suspect the ‘performance’ of SouthWestern Railways – ever more employees and ever worse ‘service’ – is not limited to this ghastly railway but is rather a reflection of a wider problem in Britain – our useless, incompetent, clueless, self-serving, arrogant lanyard class of managers generously rewarding themselves while the organisations they are paid to manage show nothing but contempt for those forced to use their ‘services’.
I never thought I’d ever agree with our pipsqueak fake PM – Andrew ‘Blubberer’ Burnham. But from my experience yesterday and looking at SouthWestern Railways’ dismal and ever-worsening performance, I can’t see how our train ‘services’ could be any worse if renationalised than they are under their current useless, incompetent, overpaid, overpensioned pathetic excuse for management.
To finish, here’s the (IMHO) brilliant Leo Kearse showing how the mainstream media, especially the BBC, managed to twist the story of the FlyDubai Muslim terrorist attempted hijacking by a Muslim terrorist so that a Muslim could murder about 170 Israelis into a media assault on the supposed “Far Right” while not mentioning the role of the world’s most peaceful religion in the airline attack.
Today’s blog may seem a bit offbeat. But I can’t spend every blog bleating about how Britain is wilfully committing economic suicide (due to Net Zero) and societal suicide (due to mass open-borders, Third-world immigration invasion).
We all support charities like the RSPB and the RSPCA. After all, they do lots of wonderful work to protect Britain’s birds and other animals, don’t they? And, of course, they’re both “Royal” charities so they must be trustworthy, mustn’t they?
Today I’d like to focus on the RSPB.
The RSPB has an annual income of around £195 million. That’s quite a lot of our money. Most of this £195 million (£155.5 million) comes from donations and legacies. About £20 million comes from government grants. That’s our money. So, if you are a taxpayer and also donate to the RSPB, you’re actually donating twice. Thank you very much for your generosity.
According to Professor Google, the head honcho at the RSPB receives an annual total remuneration package of approximately £200,069 (including benefits and pension contributions) based on the charity’s recent annual reports. Not bad for the country’s Chief Twitcher.
But there’s a possibly more than minor problem with the RSPB’s credibility. There are over 10 million domestic cats in Britain. Estimates put the figure at between 10 million and 12.5 million. QED, an awful lot of people own cats.
These cats in kill an estimated 160 million to 270 million total animals each year, which includes roughly 55 million birds (or about 25% to 27% of their total prey).
Wildlife Toll Breakdown
Total Animals: Recent studies and data from organizations like the Mammal Society place total annual prey kills between 160 million and 275 million.
Birds: Out of that total, approximately 55 million birds (including popular garden songbirds like sparrows, starlings, and blackbirds) are killed annually by domestic cats
So, given that the RSPB takes loads of our money and pays its Twitcher in Chief so handsomely, what does the RSPB have to say about the approximately 55 million birds being slaughtered each year by Britain’s domestic cats? Well, this seems to pose a bit of a moral dilemma for the RSPB as many donors may also own cats. And such donors would possibly be upset if the RSPB accused them of participating in a massacre of Britain’s tweety birds.
So, the RSPB has repeatedly claimed: “there is no clear scientific evidence that such mortality is causing bird populations to decline”. Yup. you read that correctly. The RSPB claims (unbelievably implausibly in my humble opinion) that the annual massacre of 55 million of our avian friends by domestic cats has absolutely no consequences on Britain’s bird population. Instead the RSPB chooses to blame things like “habitat loss and intensive farming” and shooting and, of course, Climate Change for Britain’s increasing de-birdification. We mustn’t forget Climate Change as that seems to be responsible for everything bad that ever happens to us.
But the RSPB seems blissfully unaware of its ‘cognitive disonance’ in pretending to protect birds while desperately ignoring the massacre of possibly more than 55 million birds a year by domestic cats. So the RSPB happily carries on raking in its tens of millions, often from the very people (Britain’s cat owners) who are most guilty of the wipe-out of the birds the RSPB is supposed to be protecting.
Perhaps RSPB should be renamed the Royal Society for Protection of Bureaucrats?
Though, from the little I’ve seen, I’m not aware the ‘widely-respected’ RSPCA has ‘bothered’ to mention the slaughter of somewhere between 100 million and 200 million animals by Britain’s domestic cats.
So strange that neither charity seems concerned about the catastrophic effect of domestic cats on Britain’s wildlife, wouldn’t you say?
Then, of course, millions of animals are killed each year to provide food for Britain’s cat and dog populations. But the slaughter of so many animals to feed Britain’s cats and dogs is the story for another blog.
You’ll all have seen the stories. An anti-mass-illegal-immigration protestor gets refused bail when indicted for damaging a boat which appears to belong to nobody and for refusing to disclose the pin for his phone. He will have to wait till March 2027 at the earliest for his case to be heard. So much for the presumption of someone being considered innocent until proven guilty. Moreover, the illegal migrants who invaded our country in the boat which was allegedly damaged get a massive police escort to their luxury accommodation and access to all the freebies – free clothes, free phones, free money, free healthcare, free dental care and so much more – which we give to real foreign criminals who have illegally invaded our country.
Meanwhile, five men arrested for allegedly plotting a terrorist attack on a military base are released on bail. You couldn’t make it up.
Moreover, we should worry. We haven’t been given much information about the five alleged terrorists. Though I think I remember one witness described them as looking as if their origins might have been somewhere in that haven of peace and harmony – the Middle East. But to reassure us that there was no cause for alarm, our rulers quickly rushed out the fact that the arrested were all “British men”. We should be very wary when we’re told an arrested person is a “Welsh choirboy” or a “British man”. This usually means they are actually members of one of our once great country’s many rapidly-growing multi-culturally enriching communities.
I’m so apoplectic with fury at this (what seems to an ignorant oaf like myself) obvious two-tier policing and two-tier supposed ‘justice’, that I find it difficult to know what to write. So, instead here’s a link to an article about this on the excellent Daily Sceptic website. As is so often the case with such articles, the best bits are the readers’ comments.
Sorry, but I’m having trouble providing the link. So just do a Google search for ‘Daily Sceptic Danny Tommo denied bail’
This weekend’s blog is, I apologise, going to be rather unpleasant. But as I doubt many other media will dare go anywhere near this story, I thought I would mention it.
There was a rather uncomfortable story in the Daily Express newspaper a couple of days ago:
Three men have been arrested after a woman was allegedly gang-raped on a migrant boat during a deadly five-day crossing to the Canary Islands. The suspects, aged 21, 25 and 30, were detained after the woman reported being sexually assaulted during the journey to Lanzarote. The alleged attack took place at sea on September 16, the same day Spanish coastguards rescued people from the inflatable boat around 77 nautical miles from Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote. Police said a witness who had been on the same boat told officers he had seen the alleged sexual assault.
On 30 July, Three female migrants were found dead on board a boat in the English Channel off the coast of Dunkirk. We are told the three female migrants all died of heart attacks.
On 28 August A female small boat migrant was taken to hospital after dozens of illegal immigrants crossed the English Channel. We were informed that: “It is unclear the extent of the injuries suffered by the female migrant”.
One vlogger, who usually does extensive research before commenting, has claimed that the four migrant women I mention in the two stories above were actually victims of sexual assault by male migrants. But I have not been able to find any corroboration of this claim.
But we do know that following the migrant invasion of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta there was a massive increase in sexual assaults and rapes. Reuters are just one news organisation which have reported on this phenomenon:
Wafae Atid, a soft-spoken 28-year-old from the northern Moroccan city of Taza, told Reuters that as she waits for the Spanish authorities to look at her case, she and more than a dozen other women had set up a makeshift camp with cardboard boxes, inflatable mattresses and blankets as close as possible to a police van stationed at the centre’s entrance for safety.
“It’s really bad … A lot of guys are trying to attack the girls every night, sometimes just when you go to the toilet. They follow you,” Atid said. “It’s different nationalities, Africans, Arabs”.
We also know that migrants have been behind a significant increase in sexual assaults and rapes in the UK.
There’s a rather good novel I read a couple of years ago – American Dirt:
It describes the journey some migrants made from some South-American hell-hole country to get to the USA. It’s written by a female novelist and one of the issues it deals with is how the girls and young women migrants get raped by police, people smugglers and male migrants many times during their journey. The book was:
*An Instant New York Times #1 Bestseller 2020* *An Instant Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller 2020* *Over 2 million copies sold globally* *A Richard and Judy Bookclub Pick* *An Oprah’s Book Club Pick* *A BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime*
None of this proves the claim made by one normally accurate vlogger that the migrants coming to the UK are raping female migrants on their way here. So let’s end this short blog with one absolute certainty:
If it were the case that some male migrants were raping female migrants, it is absolutely certain that our rulers and our subservient anti-British mainstream media would cover this up just as they spent decades trying to cover up the mainly Pakistani rape gangs raping tens of thousands of often underage white girls. After all, if the public were to learn that rapists were being welcomed into Britain with free everything it would be difficult for our rulers and our enemy-of-the-people police to control the public outrage.
An important charity appeal
And to cheer us up, here’s a charity appeal which may be a lot closer to the truth about some/many of Britain’s 197,500 registered charities than those charities would like us to imagine:
David Craig, on October 14th, 2026
