MEME MONDAY #41

Karl was away last week, so the memes were a little more intermittent than usual.  The week was populated by several comical efforts, with mixed results, although the Ed Miliband meme went far and wide...

Mon 23 Jun - 491 shares on the main Facebook page
Tue 24 Jun - 113 shares on the backup Facebook page
Wed 25 Jun - 11 shares.  Aww, bless Zarah.
Wed 25 Jun - 708 shares
Thu 26 June - 60 shares.  The second in a series of similar
memes, mocking Blair's desperate attempts to promote
digital IDs in the name of anything and everything.
Sadly, there are too many comments that indicate
ignorance and/or anathema to the digital ID/CBDC
totalitarian social credit plan.
Thu 26 Jun - 1,027 shares
Sat 28 Jun - 53 shares
Sat 28 Jun - 84 shares

This week's Facebook stories included a milestone for the backup page, as we surpassed 40,000 followers.

BOATWATCH #16

The recent all time weekly high of 2,083 recorded boat migrants appears to have emptied Calais as it was followed by a lull in the past week.  Just two boats were intercepted all week, but a lull is all that it is.  More illegals are en route, make no mistake.


Total = 118 (down 1,965 from previous week)

COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 26.06.25


A whopping ten by-elections were held this week, from Edinburgh in the north to Sussex in the south.  Labour were defending half the seats and finished the day on just one, a hold in Stevenage.  Labour's vote share was down in every single seat, from a marginal decrease of 1.7 per cent in Edinburgh to a crushing 34.3 per cent in Chorley, Lancs.

Reform continued their good form, with gains in Basildon and Rossendale from local independents and also taking a Labour seat in Sheffield.  In all three seats they came from nowhere to win first time round.

The other Labour losses came at the hands of the Greens in London, Conservatives in Chorley and Lib Dems in Edinburgh.  Labour enjoyed a narrow lead in Edinburgh on the first round, but eventually lost out to the Lib Dems thanks to Scotland's single transferable vote system.

WOKE WEDNESDAY #32

Despite the Supreme Court ruling on the trans issue, the leftist establishment are continuing with their misogynistic agenda regardless.  Earlier this week BBC News presenter Martine Croxall defied her employers and corrected an autocue script that described 'pregnant people'.  "Women" she declared, while struggling to stifle her amusement at the absurdity of having to do so.

The viral clip is discussed by Richey in the following YouTube video. 


Martine is obviously the exception to the rule at the progressive Beeb, which has jettisoned feminism in favour of airbrushing women from existence altogether.

Like the terms 'birthing people' or 'birthing person', 'pregnant people' is intended to degrade the sanctity of womanhood and, specifically, motherhood.  Progressives argue that such 'gender-neutral' language is necessary, as the language we have been using for almost two thousand years excludes trans and 'non-binary' people.  So in order to be 'inclusive' towards a miniscule proportion of society, we must denigrate around one half of society - ie. biological women?  The objective is to dehumanise women, to render their immutable characteristics meaningless and make them feel worthless.  It is the same reason men are being increasingly demasculated and the sanctity of marriage undermined.

The goal is communism.

This is why such language flourishes on the left.  Take the current First Minister of Wales.  As a health minister in Wales, Eluned Morgan referred to 'birthing people' multiple times.  She was quoted using the term in a January 2022 press release, and again in May that year in a cabinet statement.  The quote featured in the meme below is from an April 2024 cabinet statement.


Sorry Eluned, but you're fooling nobody.  Trans people who were born male cannot give birth and nor can 'non-binary' people who are biologically male.  In short, there is only one type of person who can give birth - a person with xx chromosomes - in other words a woman!

Last week's Rob Schneider meme generated nine comments and 25 shares on Facebook.

adorns their ever present tea cosy.

BOATWATCH #15

Another week, another record set for 2025.  More than two thousand invaders crossed the Channel last week in 34 small boats.  This represents not just a record number for 2025, but an all time record.  This year remains on course to be an all round record breaker, with the current trajectory set to surpass all previous years.

Starmer's pledge to 'smash the gangs' is in tatters and even he admitted last week that the situation in the Channel is deteriorating.  What is his solution?  He doesn't have one.  We are almost at the height of summer and he has absolutely nothing to offer...

EUTHANASIA WEEK

Just days after Tonia Antoniazzi's baby-killing amendment sailed through the Commons came the latest reading of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, proposed by Tonia's Labour comrade Kim Leadbeater.  The euthanasia bill cleared the Commons with a narrow majority of just 23, so it seems that offing adults is less of a concern for Labour MPs than making sure that unwanted babies never get the chance to become adults.

Richey's video response can be seen below, including an extended look at Diane Abbott's contribution to the debate (8 minute watch).


As alluded to in the video, we have gone over this issue multiple times and it's beginning to feel like banging our heads against a brick wall.  The following video, filmed in December last year, sums up our shared feelings about the euthanasia of our fellow human beings and where the initial legislation will lead...


Time will prove us totally correct on this issue.  Watch this space.

COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 19.06.25


Six council by-elections were held on Thursday, with action from the northern reaches of Britain to the very south.  Seven seats were up for grabs, with a double header in the Highlands.  Although Labour's vote share was down in all of the seats it contested, the figures were not as dramatic as they have been for the previous six months.  Only in Sefton was their vote share reduced by double figures, with a large swing to both the Greens and Reform.

Reform UK continue to impress, including a gain in Yorkshire.

WOKE WEDNESDAYS #31

In the age of equality, DEI and reverse discrimination, the issue of slavery reparations may sound a little over the top.  Even though black people across the West now experience a privileged first world existence, there still appears to be a huge chip on the shoulder of some.  Prominent black activists who already enjoy more wealth than most native Europeans, continue to call for reparations on behalf of people who were never slaves or have ever experienced slavery.  Such grievance activists are regularly rolled out on shows like Good Morning Britain to wind up the masses with their anti-white drivel.

The fact is that no white person alive in the West today has ever kidnapped Africans, put them in chains and transported them around the world to go pick cotton in a field for 18 hours a day.  Why should someone pay for injustices meted out by people they never knew?

Secondly, no black person alive in the West today has been put to work as a slave.  Even in the United States, which was a relative latecomer in abolishing the trade, you would have to go back several generations before tracing an ancestor who experienced slavery firsthand.

The absurdity of paying someone compensation for something they never experienced was perhaps best summed up by US comedian Rob Schneider.  He was addressing the reparation activities in the bastion state of the far left - the socialist Republic of California.  The California Reparations Task Force was set up in the wake of the Floyd riots and is the first such organisation of its kind.


If you haven't seen Rob's stand-up, we would urge you to get on YouTube and look him up.  Much of his comedy these days sends up his former political base, for like many he has grown into a staunch Republican.  Such a turnaround is hard to grasp for the left, despite the fact it's always older world-weary people who make the shift from left to right, hardly ever the reverse.  There's a reason for that.  It's called getting older and wiser or, more crudely, waking the fuck up.

And yes, there were slaves in California, but slavery was abolished in the territory by the time it joined the United States in 1850.  So strictly speaking, Rob is correct!

Last week's woke bench meme generated nine comments and nine shares on Facebook, including a testy exchange with a troll who has since deleted her orginal comment (but not before we screenshot it!)

THE BABY KILLERS

The fake feminists of Labour were in full flow on Tuesday as they debated the decriminalisation of abortion.  They implored the 'human rights' of women to kill their unborn babies, while at the same time resisting calls for a rape gang inquiry.  Their 'feminism' is selective and meaningless.  In any case, the legalisation of abortion 'right up to birth' threatens to wipe out many women before they are even born.  These MPs, who backed Tonia Antoniazzi's disgusting amendment in their hundreds, are nothing short of baby killers.

Neither of us here at BTLP are Roman Catholics, but anyone with the tiniest hint of a moral compass can see that this is not only wrong, it is pure evil.

You can watch Richey's initial response below, recorded late on Tuesday with a heavy heart.

We pick up where we left off last week, with Red Rachel's spending review...

Morten Morland for The Times
Graeme Bandeira for The Northern Agenda
Christian Adams for The Daily Telegraph
Andy Davey for The Daily Telegraph

With Labour still trailing Reform in the polls, Reeves also reinstated the winter fuel allowance for most pensioners.  This was followed a week later by another huge Starmer u-turn, this time on the rape gangs.  There will now be a national inquiry, despite Labour blocking it only six months ago.
