How many resources does it take to issue a public BOLO via the BBC? Face it, your police are racially biased.

We have kidnappings in the US and we get amber alerts for incidents 2 states away if the victim might be getting taken our way via the interstate. Which can be 300+miles.likewise bolos and other reports.  
 

The UK police couldn’t find a wandering criminal mistakenly released when he was repeatedly seen on CCTV over days and who disn’t even change his appearance. 
 

Your police are incompetent, ill led and ill trained.

Peterborough is a significant distance from London, 75 miles from the centre.

We have these things called radios, phones, and networks. You can grab a still from a cctv screen with your camera phone, and craft it into a BOLO with your phone and send it to all other agencies and the public in minutes.

It strikes me this is the usual complaint from you guys. You bang on incessently how Britain has devolved into an Orwellian 1984 style surveillance state, then bitch incessently that it doesnt function as well as you insist it must. For christ sake make your mind up.

Because Orwellian states invariable go after the wrong criminals. Post something that causes anxiety on the internet , two police show to arrest you. 
 

Commit a stabbing, then again, and again, police make an obscure statement and don’t describe the attacker.

State propaganda. 
 

This demands a similar response as Canada’s attempts with the Reagan speech.  Looks like the election interference that someone was screaming about for Hillary’s benefit too. 

 

Added thought, is this illegal? 
 

If someone posts to social media, a video of say one if Starmer’s speeches, edited to change the substance,  would British police find and charge them?

When you say 'anti immigration protesters', presumably what you really mean to say is 'thugs attacking police?'

Of course. You cant go up putting electric charging ports in Stonehenge. The Druids would never go for it 

 

In fact this wasnt vandalism, because it all washed off. I think its powder chalk. I could go up to it and chalk 'The Commies were here' on the stones, and it would be more of a vandalising effect than this shit.

It basically achieved its end, giving a wedgie to a lot of hysterical people, but damage the stones? There was more damage being done by the Victorians, carving their names on the damn things.

Quote

 

The report, which was composed by Michael Prescott, a former adviser to the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee, reveals widespread anti-Israel bias at both BBC Arabic and BBC News.

When it comes to BBC Arabic, a partially government-funded department that is supposed to counter misinformation in the Arabic-speaking world, the Prescott Report pointed to numerous instances of journalistic malfeasance, including:

• Platforming journalists who had made antisemitic comments;
• Spreading Hamas and Hezbollah propaganda as legitimate news sources;
• Translating BBC News articles that were critical of Israel into Arabic but not translating a single article on the Israeli hostages or those that were critical of Hamas;
• Portraying a Hamas terrorist attack in Jaffa as a military operation.

In effect, instead of providing its audience with quality and objective coverage of Israel, BBC Arabic resorted to platforming those who called for Jews to be “burned” and serving as a mouthpiece for organizations that are designated as terror groups by the United Kingdom.

 

 

Quote

 

Other examples of this anti-Israel bias that we have covered include:

• The broadcaster’s refusal to refer to Hamas as “terrorists” even though the entire group has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United Kingdom since 2021.
• The broadcasting of the false claim that an Israeli airstrike on Al-Ahli Hospital had killed 500 people. BBC correspondent Jon Donnison was certain that this had been an Israeli strike, even though, hours later, it was proven to have been a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket and the original death toll provided had been wildly overinflated.
• In a July 2023 interview with former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett, BBC anchor Anjana Gadgil unabashedly claimed that the IDF was “happy to kill children”;
• The BBC turned a blind eye to its highest-paid star, Gary Lineker, breaching guidelines by allowing him to share anti-Israel and antisemitic content online with only minimal objections from the British broadcaster.

 

 

Quote

As former Director of BBC Television, Danny Cohen, wrote in an op-ed covering this latest scandal, the anti-Israel rot in the BBC reaches all the way to “Director General Tim Davie and CEO of BBC News Deborah Turness, whose consistent modus operandi against all criticism appears to be to deny, defend and deflect.”

Given that GB is roughly 6% Muslim and rapidly growing, and 0.5% Jewish. Its not all that cynical to assume that the Beeb and the Met will become even more anti-Semitic over time. Its simple math.

When your sacrifices are not worth it, and you feel that your government has betrayed all you fought, bled and died for: Sort of says it all about the direction of the UK.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/dmitri-bolt/2025/11/07/100-year-old-wwii-veteran-interview-n2666128

In an interview on Good Morning Britain, a 100-year-old World War II veteran said that the sacrifices he and his fellow soldiers made during the war were not worth what his home country has become today.

"My message is, I can see in my mind's eye those rows and rows of white stones and all the hundreds of my friends who gave their lives, for what? The country of today? No, I'm sorry - but the sacrifice wasn't worth the result of what it is now."

When he was asked to clarify what he meant, he said, "What we fought for was our freedom, but now it's a darn sight worse than when I fought for it."

[Mr King]

He is not the only ww2 vet that believes he fought for nothing

American for good measure 

 

I think if the vast majority of these vets knew how our countries were going to turn out in 80 years, they would have revolted.

Thousands of school governors in Britain were reportedly told that it was “disinformation” to assert that “men belonging to a particular religion” were responsible for the Pakistani Muslim child rape grooming gang scandal in towns and cities across England.

During a series of safeguarding training provided by GovernorHub, a third-party management platform that is used by two in three schools in England to provide training on best practices, the school leaders were pressed on a scenario in which a student has spread “disinformation” and therefore presents a potential “online safety risk”.

The training, which was leaked to The Telegraph by a concerned parent governor, characterised the scenario as thus: “At a board meeting, your staff governor reports overhearing pupils in her class talking about a video they were sent, falsely claiming that men belonging to a particular religion are using new tactics to commit violent crimes against women in your local area.”

They were also told that “pupils have sent the video to their friends because they think it’s true and want to help girls in their class to stay safe”.

Then, the governors were asked: “What type of online safety risk are the pupils in her class participating in spreading?” with three multiple-choice answers; Misinformation, Disinformation, or Conspiracy Theories.

 

That massive tragedy you read about didn't happen.

Quote

 

Britain’s National Crime Agency said this week that it will review over a thousand cases allegedly involving grooming gangs that, in at least some instances, appear to have been dropped as a result of “human error” by police or prosecutors.

The NCA — Britain’s equivalent of the American FBI — said that Operation Beaconport will focus on “putting victims and survivors at the heart of the criminal justice process” by re-examining potential grooming gang investigations in England and Wales that were “incorrectly closed with no further action taken.”

The law enforcement agency said that it has so far identified 1,273 cases of potential grooming gang crimes that were either dropped by police forces or prosecutors, including 236 cases involving allegations of rape. The NCA stated that the identified cases spanned from the start of 2010 to March 31 of this year, meaning the vast majority would have taken place during the era in which the existence of grooming gangs was widespread public knowledge.

West Midlands Police officers are accused of telling an alleged rape gang victim, aged 12, that she was “lying” about her abuse, and told her mother she was “prostituting herself”.

“I was 12 or 13 when I went with my mum to the police to report the first rape. But a female police officer accused me of lying and that just broke me. I went off the rails after that,” said the alleged victim, given the pseudonym ‘Karen’ by BirmingahLive, who was targeted by a so-called grooming gang operating in Walsall.

Noooo, you cannot kill terrorist criminals bringing drugs into the US.  Waaaaah! We will show you!  Perhaps this is the beginning of the end of our European entanglements?  Hope so.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/amy-curtis/2025/11/11/cnn-uk-stop-sharing-intelligence-over-drug-smuggling-airstrikes-n2666269

The Trump administration has launched airstrikes against several narco terrorist vessels in the Caribbean, a move that has led the U.N. to condemn the strikes as "unacceptable." 

 

This has not deterred the Trump administration, which announced plans in October to continue the strikes, citing national security concerns. But it seems the U.K. isn't going to be helping the Trump administration keep illegal drugs and criminals off our shores.

CNN is reporting that the U.K. has paused intelligence sharing with the U.S., citing the legality of the strikes.

Here's more from CNN:

The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

The UK’s decision marks a significant break from its closest ally and intelligence sharing partner and underscores the growing skepticism over the legality of the US military’s campaign around Latin America.

For years, the UK, which controls a number of territories in the Caribbean where it bases intelligence assets, has helped the US locate vessels suspected of carrying drugs so that the US Coast Guard could interdict them, the sources said. That meant the ships would be stopped, boarded, its crew detained, and drugs seized.

If Drug dealers are terrorists, then why did the CIA for so long endorse the Golden Triangle by shipping their drugs out of there via Air America?  Or indeed, looked the other way (some would say directly participated) in Contra's smuggling drugs into the US to finance their liberation movement? Were they terrorists too?

Truth is, this is a useful classification to justify killing whomever the Government judge worthwhile to kill, something I would hope give Americans pause for thought after the abortive war on terror, Ruby Ridge, Waco, but apparently not. Personally, I cry no tears over them, they are just low level henchmen, whom Im sure are dime a dozen in South America. But im utterly bemused you think killing a few dozen low level henchmen is going to make any difference at all. Anyone whom watched a season of Miami Vice could figure that out for themselves.

No, she doesnt control MI5. MI5 controls MI5. Anyone that doesnt grasp this  should probably look at how MI5 went off the reservation in the 1970's at the behest of James Jesus Angleton and did substantially their own thing. Meaning, as someone that has read a lot into Britains intelligence services, what the Government of the day says is one thing, what the 'Deep State' does is entirely another.

 Basically, Its a nothingburger cooked up by the Torygraph and Maga's to pretend there is a tectonic shift in Britains relationship with America. In reality, absolutely nothing has changed. The same documents will change hands, the difference is it will not be official, we pretend you never got them. But you will regardless.

But if you want to jump up and down in tune with the more vapid sources you read online, then by all means be my guest.

Yeah, he is a Glaswegian.

https://www.mi5.gov.uk/about-us/director-general

Sir Ken McCallum is the current Director General of MI5. 

He is an MI5 officer with more than 25 years of experience across the full spectrum of our organisation's national security and intelligence work. 

His first ten years were focussed on Northern Ireland-related terrorism. Senior operational roles in countering Islamist extremist terrorism followed, as well as a period leading our early cyber security work, where he expanded MI5 engagement with the private sector. 

In 2012, Sir Ken took charge of all counter terrorism investigations and risk management in the run-up to, and during, the London Olympics. After the Games, he embarked on a secondment at what was then known as the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills leading on digital issues, building his experience beyond the national security domain. Following his return to MI5 he retained links to the wider public sector, serving for three years as a Non-Executive Director on the board of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. 

In 2015, Sir Ken took on the role of Director General of Strategy in MI5, focussing on shaping new legislation, MI5's finances and further deepening MI5's partnerships with the UK’s other intelligence agencies, SIS and GCHQ. 

He was appointed Deputy Director General of MI5 in 2017, with responsibility for all MI5's operational and investigative work. Sir Ken led MI5's strategic response to the 2017 terrorist attacks and to the 2018 attempted assassination of Sergei Skripal. 

Sir Ken was appointed Director General in April 2020. 

He grew up in Glasgow, and holds a degree in Mathematics from the University of Glasgow. Outside of work, his time is filled by a busy and active family life. 

 

On the other hand, im sure he is perfectly adequate with a razor, and can drink his own weight in Iron Bru.  The perfect Bond Villain in other words.

 

As the post illustrates,  MI5 handles INTERNAL security. There may be some circumstances in the carribean where they still have relevance (In British territories anyway), but mostly SIS or MI6, which comes under the Foreign Office, are the ones they would have most contact with about South America.
