LONDON CLOWN SHOW

A rainbow coalition of political parties, trade unionists, communist groups, Islamists and coachloads of tofu-eating keffiyeh-clad middle class muppets bussed in from around the country descended on central London on Saturday.  Organisers had hoped that their high profile event, coined the 'Together Alliance', would be the largest leftist demonstration in history.  Well, shit.

Prior to any speeches as the march culminated in Trafalgar Square, organisers had decided to make the bold claim that turnout was 'half a million'.  Even if this were remotely true, the crowds on Saturday would still be eclipsed by various leftist marches of yesteryear.  The fact that organisers decided to land at such a conservative figure, instead of going down the Tommy Robinson route of claiming a turnout of 'millions', suggests that the real turnout was much lower and beneath the bravado it must have been bitterly disappointing.

The Metropolitan Police estimated crowd numbers to be ten times less than what the organisers had claimed - 'more like 50,000' - although Met estimates are always much lower and the truth is usually somewhere in between.  However, here's the real kicker for the leftists - the Met's estimated turnout for Tommy Robinson's 'Unite the Kingdom' march last September was 'between 110,000 and 150,000'.  Ouch.  Furthermore, the Met is hardly going to lend any bias towards the dreaded 'far right', so it appears that we have reached a point in our history that figures on the right can now mobilise 'at least' twice as many people as those on the left.  It should also be noted that Saturday's leftist march was actually a combination of two separate marches.  A separate Palestine march converged with the main Together Alliance march to boost numbers.

The march was led by a myriad of politicians from Labour, the Greens, Your Party and even Plaid Cymru.  Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana had notably put clear distance between each other as the tensions in their shitshow party continue.  In fact most of the Labour MPs appeared to put distance between themselves and Corbyn, instead gathering alongside Sultana.  Corbyn found himself marching next to the purple-haired Liz Saville-Roberts of Plaid Cymru.  The Green contingent at the head of the march included Zack Polanski, Mothin Ali, Rachel Millward and Hannah Spencer.  Labour MPs from the Socialist Campaign Group of usual suspects included Richard Burgon, John McDonnell, Apsana Begum, Diane Abbott, Ian Byrne and Bell Ribeiro-Addy.  Disgraced former Labour MP Claudia Webbe could also be seen mingling around her former PLP colleagues.  Stella Creasy was also present elsewhere on the march.

Lovely beret - Dawn Butler decked out in Reform colours

Dawn Butler was barely recognisable in a bizarre outfit topped by a beret that made her look like a 1980s Guardian Angel throwback, only in the light blue colours of Reform UK - an odd choice considering the 'far right' enemy they were supposedly marching against was largely characterised by Reform UK.  Of course, this is ridiculous in itself and made a mockery of the marchers' claims to be 'uniting' people.  If anyone who doesn't subscribe to your hard left agenda is 'far right' - including a very popular political outfit currently leading every single national poll, but which is increasingly looking like a rebranded Tory party - then the term 'far right' is meaningless and the only people you will be uniting is your communist clique of progressive bourgeois hypocrites.  Certainly, the Muslim groups that rocked up didn't want to be seen with you...

The Muslim Council of Britain, Muslim Association of Great Britain, Muslim Engagement and Definition (MEND) and Friends of Al-Aqsa were all represented along the route, but they segregated themselves from the debauchery of the progressives in front of them.  As Zack Polanski and Hannah Spencer pranced about on stage alongside half naked leather clad homosexuals, their colleague Mothin Ali was nowhere to be seen and the crowd in front of them was overwhelmingly - almost exclusively - white.  This moment epitomised the exploitation of both sides of the left-wing divide.  Depraved parties like Labour and the Greens need the rapidly growing Muslim electorate to maintain and expand their number of Westminster seats, while Islamists need depraved parties like Labour and the Greens to forge their own path to power.  The two are on an inevitable path towards a violent collision that is going to end very badly for the progressives.

It was no great surprise to see the words 'trojan horse' trending on X this weekend.

TOON TUESDAY #64

Cartoonists had lots of governmental issues to get their teeth into during the past week - including super injunctions, suspended MPs and reducing the voting age.  Both left-leaning and right-leaning rags laid into Starmer in equal measure, while the renewed suspension of Diane Abbott brought out some Corbyn references...

Another busy week for Karl with 14 memes and four Facebook Stories to his credit...

Tue 15 Jul - 466 shares.  This one struck a chord with Richey, who was told
recently that he cannot claim a penny of universal credit as his partner is
earning.  Unlike boat people and EU migrants, he paid in all his life and
the one time he needed the state to step in and help, he was told to do one!

has blocked our X account, as neither of us have any recollection of
ever engaging with him.  Osborne is one of Labour's 2024 intake of
MPs, having overturned a huge Tory majority in Chatham and
Aylesford

Sat 19 Jul - 148 shares.  A non-partisan meme, because the WEF don't

that is Matt Hancock and Andy Burnham at the front of this group,

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.

DIANEGATE

A viral video is doing the rounds featuring Labour veteran Diane Abbott wandering around confused behind some iron railings in Westminster.  The brief clip shows her meandering trapped and lost, unable to fathom the use of a gate that is right in front of her.  The clip ends when a young lady approaches and frees our intrepid Diane from her internment.

Watch below.

We know Diane likes a drop or two in the afternoon, perhaps she'd had one too many in a House of Commons bar...

FACEBOOK'S SAUCY CENSOR

It's been a while since Facebook issued a strike against BTLP, but we received another one over the weekend for something that was posted almost six years ago.  An amalgam of two saucy memes, the 'Joy of Sex' mock-up was scanned by Facebook's AI program and deemed to be 'bullying and harassment'.  The 'victims' in this awful case were Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott.

Make of it what you will...

One of the consequences of a strike from Facebook is a reduction in a page's distribution.  We will see how the page is affected in the days to come and potentially revert back to the secondary page (yet again).

MEME MONDAY #21

A real mixed bag this week...

Mon 27 Jan - 455 shares on Facebook

Tue 28 Jan - 323 shares.  Since publishing this meme, claims have
surfaced which lay the blame for the woke name change at the gates
of Buckingham Palace.  The King himself reportedly initiated the
change, although this has not been confirmed.

MEME MONDAY #7

It was a slow news week by comparison to previous weeks, so we chose to give an old comedy double act some exposure - two Corbyn memes and half an Abbott to be precise.  Enjoy...

Mon 30 Sept - 117 shares

Wed 2 Oct - 165 shares

Wed 3 Oct - 49 shares - Skinner's forename is misspelt here, primarily
because Karl referred to his X account when compiling this meme,

DIANE RACE BAITS REFORM

Less than 72 hours into her new term as a Labour MP, Diane Abbott was back to her race baiting routine on Sunday.  The day after the England football team beat Switzerland on penalties, Abbott shared a montage of the five penalty takers on X, who all happened to be either black or mixed race.  She used this incidental fact in a bizarre swipe at Reform UK's immigration stance.

The penalty takers (from left to right) were Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold - all of whom were born in England and only one of which is a second generation immigrant (Saka).  None of their parents, three of which are of native English descent, came on the boats that Nigel Farage and most of the British public are mostly concerned about.

X users were quick to lay into Diane, those whom she has not yet blocked (she blocked BTLP years ago).

If Abbott continues in this vein she will probably find herself sitting as an independent again, only this time she'll have to cross the floor and sit with the opposition - including Farage and the other Reform MPs!  At least she'll be able to sit with Jeremy...

Abbott is now the longest serving female MP in Westminster and succeeds her colleague Harriet Harman as the 'Mother of the House'.  Harman stood down at the election after 42 years in office.  On Thursday, Abbott was returned as the MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington with a drastically reduced majority.  Like her colleagues across London and other major cities, Abbott could only watch as her vote tally crashed.  Having amassed a colossal 39,972 votes and a 33,188 majority in 2019, Abbott picked up 24,355 on Thursday as her majority more than halved to 15,080.

If she can't keep her intolerant views to herself, we suspect a 75-year-old Abbott will be fighting the next election as an independent.
