What a load of bo..ocks from the f.t c.nt!

Aparently he would “bring some hard nosed managers in”. WTF? He has no problem being on the Right with a capital R, blabbing in the Telegraph about BBC bias.

Image of Nick Ferrari, looking well rounded, suggesting that if he was in charge of the BBC, he’d bring some “hard-nosed managers” in, as opposed to the soft noses currently in charge I suppose.

We’re clearly living in some weird version of the multiverse. How TF are these idiots able to put their shoes on in the morning? Velcro or flip flops only?

Clarkson is “mischievously” blaming “the left” for murder. It’s all a bit of harmless banter to him, innit? Use the opportunity to blame someone outside the bag of rats the victim seemed to inhabit. What a role model our “Jezza” is.

“Unsurprisingly, a lot of people didn’t. Though when I say “people”, I mean “angry pink-haired leftie people who get their ‘truth’ from Instagram and spend their afternoons pulling down statues and throwing soup at paintings”.
They hated Charlie Kirk. And now it looks as though one of them has shot him.
Was the left always this angry? I’m casting my mind back to the Seventies and I have in my head images of Arthur Scargill, who was always on a soapbox, ranting and raving about something or other. And we just thought he was a nutter. But were there thousands or millions of other lefties like him, living in a permanent state of rage, and we just didn’t know it?”

I can never understand what these guys’ point is when they quote statistics.

chart showing that in 1820 there were 25,000 pirates and the global average temperature was 14.2 degrees C, while in 2000 there were 17 pirates and the global average temperature was 15.9 degrees C.
A misleading graph that is claimed to correlate the number of pirates with global temperature

Shortly after becoming Chancellor in 1933, Hitler and the Nazi party began a systematic campaign to arrest and imprison their political opponents, primarily targeting communists, socialists, trade unionists, and anyone perceived as a threat to their regime. This persecution escalated rapidly after the Reichstag fire, which was used as a pretext to crack down on dissent. Many were imprisoned in concentration camps, which initially were makeshift facilities before evolving into the more centrally controlled camps like Dachau.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Early Arrests:
The first wave of arrests targeted prominent members of the Communist Party (KPD), Social Democratic Party (SPD), and trade unions, as the Nazis moved to ban these organizations.
"Protective Custody":
The Nazis utilized "protective custody" (Schutzhaft) to detain individuals without judicial review, effectively bypassing the legal system.
Concentration Camps:
The first concentration camps, like Dachau, were established to hold these political prisoners, with conditions described as brutal and unsanitary.
Expansion of Persecution:
The arrests weren't limited to political opponents. Groups like Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma, and others deemed "undesirable" were also targeted and imprisoned.
Terror and Intimidation:
The arrests and the harsh conditions in the camps served as a means of terrorizing the population and suppressing dissent.

I know there are much more pressing problems, but is there anyone on the planet happy to be offered to hear a joke when all they want to do is find your family chat? How many times a day do you have to see this and ignore it until they realise it is stupid? No intelligence anywhere.
