A leaked internal email shows a senior BBC executive reaching for the language of “solidarity” after a Sudanese asylum seeker was charged with trying to brutally murder a Northern Irish man in the street. The corporation’s instinct was not to dwell on the victim, but instead to soothe colleagues “who have come to Northern Ireland and the UK from other countries.”
A local man is carved up on a Belfast pavement, unrest follows, and the state broadcaster act as if the real emergency is that imported staff might feel “particularly vulnerable.”
Investigative journalist Steven Edginton published the leak on Friday. Jack Whyte, the BBC’s Chief Technology Officer, wrote to staff after the backlash that followed the attack on Stephen Ogilvie. Whyte said he wanted to “express our solidarity with colleagues who may feel particularly vulnerable or fearful at this time, including those who have come to Northern Ireland and the UK from other countries.”

He condemned “hatred, intimidation, and violence in all its forms” and added that the BBC is “committed to fostering an environment where every colleague feels supported, included, and able to bring their whole self to work.”
Whyte’s wording is a tell. “Including those who have come to Northern Ireland and the UK from other countries” is the only group specified. Native staff who watched a man carved up on a Belfast street are left to infer that their fear does not count as vulnerability. Their anxiety is “hatred” adjacent, while the imported colleague’s anxiety is a welfare priority.
A source inside the corporation put the omission in plainer English: “The BBC offered solidarity to foreign staff but not to native Brits who might be worried about illegal migrants beheading them.”

The email was sent in June, after nights of disorder in Belfast. It has only now been dragged into public view. The attack was ugly enough to ignite streets. The official response was to flatten the language, script the aftermath, and treat public anger as the problem to be managed.
The assault took place back on June 8 on Kinnaird Avenue in north Belfast. Police later told a court they found a man armed with a knife sitting on another man. Officers pulled the attacker off. Bystanders had already piled in. People on the footage can be heard shouting: “He’s trying to cut his head off.
Hadi Alodid, 30, a Sudanese national with an address on nearby Duncairn Avenue, appeared at Belfast Magistrates’ Court charged with the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie, possession of a knife in a public place, and threats to kill an NHS radiographer. He used an Arabic interpreter, made no reply to the charges, and was remanded in custody. District Judge Stephen Keown refused bail, citing the risk of reoffending, harm to the public, flight, and public disorder.
Court evidence revealed that Ogilvie, in his forties, lost his left eye. His right eye was badly damaged. He suffered deep cuts to his head, face, neck and back.
A detective told the court that while Alodid was being treated for a hand injury he said: “I’ve killed someone, I don’t know if they are dead.” He is also alleged to have told medical staff: “I will kill you.”
Alodid’s route into the United Kingdom was the now-familiar Irish back door. Police and reporting established that he travelled from Sudan to Paris, flew to Dublin, then took a bus across the border into Belfast in February 2023 and claimed asylum the same day. In September 2023 he was granted leave to remain until 2028.
A local woman filmed near the scene described Ogilvie as someone she had known for years: hard of hearing, struggling with daily life, the sort of man who still offered help. She said two migrants had only moved into nearby accommodation four days earlier. Ogilvie, she claimed, had assisted them as they settled. She said the pair later jumped him, and claimed that a second Sudanese man was still at large.
Ogilvie’s family released a statement of devastation, thanking those who intervened and the emergency services, and asking for calm. It also contained the now-standard paragraph: “We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country, including from within our healthcare system and hospitality sector, and we depend on them to make our country work.”
Readers noticed the cadence. “Our loved one.” Generic gratitude. A pivot from a butchered relative to the national faith in imported labour. Commentators said it read like a template. Subsequent reporting on the Home Office’s Research, Information and Communications Unit suggested that suspicion was not paranoia.
RICU, set up in 2007 under the Prevent banner by former MI6 officer Charles Farr, sits in that grey zone between the Home Office and the security services. Professor Anthony Glees has described it as occupying “that kind of shadowy area between what the Home Office does and what the security service MI5 ought to be doing.”
A Home Office spokesman would only say RICU “provides analysis on extremist use of propaganda and exploitation of the internet” and “cannot comment on its operations.”
Sources quoted after the Belfast unrest said the unit worked with the PSNI’s C3 intelligence branch to identify online “calls to protest,” feed police a line that cast demonstrators as “unsympathetic thugs rather than activists,” and make sure family liaison officers were “well briefed.” One source said you can “see their fingerprints all over the statements released by the families of victims in these volatile situations – they usually have a similar tone.”
The same Whitehall reflex is now in court on another front. Families of people killed or wrecked by foreign offenders are fighting the Ministry of Justice’s attempt to keep nationality breakdowns of convictions sealed.
The Information Commissioner ordered the figures released. Labour’s justice department appealed. Relatives of Rhiannon Whyte — the 27-year-old mother stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver by Sudanese small-boat arrival Deng Chol Majek — are among those demanding the data.
Alex Whyte, Rhiannon’s sister, told GB News she felt “sick, disgusted and completely let down.” Labour, she said, is “too afraid to admit” what open borders have done, urging “Open your eyes. You are so aware of what is happening, but you are too afraid to admit it.”
Her mother, Siobhan Whyte, called the refusal “diabolical” and pointed to Home Office leaflets telling asylum seekers that rape is illegal and what the age of consent is. “They know they’re a danger, and that’s the sad reality of it.”
They know publication would detonate the official story. That is why they spend public money to keep the information sealed.
This latest BBC leak sits on a pile of interventions that all point the same way: keep the public from connecting crime, culture and the people being moved into the country.
Culture department plans have sought to force platforms to boost BBC, ITV and Channel 4 content in users’ feeds under the banner of fighting “disinformation,” as if the remedy for lost trust is to pipe the least trusted institutions back into the algorithm by law.
The same project turned up in a media green paper aimed at YouTube’s recommendation system: privileged placement for “trusted” public-service output, with legislation in reserve if the platforms will not play along. Independent creators who covered migrant crime without the approved adjectives would be the ones starved of reach.
Entertainment has been pressed into the same service. BBC fictional soap EastEnders brought in Ade Lamuye, a campaigner for “migration and racial justice,” to help shape storylines. Lamuye has said “entertainment and media holds influence and power to make real change.” The change, on the evidence, is to recast mass immigration as a moral test the audience must pass.
Children were not spared either. Pro-migrant charity Heard briefed producers on the CBBC series Pickle Storm, a comedy about a young “alien” fleeing persecution and settling in a British town. Heard described the work as a strategy to “tap into children’s media and directly impact framing of migration in children’s content.”
The group has taken more than £4.5 million since 2021 from left-leaning foundations, including seed support linked to George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. The BBC insisted the charity “had no power to influence editing or production.” Heard’s own materials said the input informed the second series.
When the newsroom itself is tested, the same muscle memory appears. Newsnight turned Nigel Farage’s “pure cold rage” over the Henry Nowak case into “white cold rage,” then shrugged it off as a misremembering. Critics noted that the inserted word was the entire point.
Fran Unsworth, a former BBC news director, has said the atmosphere inside the organisation had become intolerable. “Just dealing with the progressive editorial issues and the bullying around them all. It was incredibly difficult.” Asked whether that culture pushed her out, she answered: “I would actually say it drove me out.”
That is the same hierarchy that turns a sawing motion at a man’s neck into a “stabbing,” that treats rioters as the story and the attacker’s immigration file as an afterthought, that will go to tribunal rather than print which nationalities dominate the sex-offence columns. It is the hierarchy that lectures the public about disinformation while handing activist charities the keys to a children’s comedy.
The BBC collects a compulsory fee to tell the country what happened. After Belfast it told its own staff who mattered. Foreign colleagues who might feel unsafe. Not the public that had just watched an attempted decapitation in a residential street.

Londoners can no longer afford the Notting Hill Black Carnival
Story by James Ford
I take great exception to the Notting Hill black Carnival. Not because the event is associated with an orgy of racist violent crime and stabbing. Not because of the extent to which it inconveniences local residents. Not even because of the staggering number of police officers injured each year.Police said they would stop the gangs parading through with the muggings and knifingsMy beef is with the economics of the Notting Hill Carnival. And, more specifically, the value that London taxpayers get from it versus the subsidy they must cough up each year. Because, whilst the carnival may seem like a free day out, it is far from it.
The costs of the Notting Hill Carnival
The local authority (the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea) forks out around £1m to clean up the streets after it is done. The policing cost in 2024 was more than £13.5m (up from £11.8m in 2023). But it is the grant from City Hall that has seen the greatest increase in cost under the current mayor. In 2016, the first year of Sadiq Khan’s mayoralty, the Greater London Authority (GLA) chipped in just £340,000. But this year the GLA’s contribution was a whopping £5.6m (a more than 16-fold increase in a decade). In total, the Notting Hill Carnival is now costing London’s taxpayers around £20m a year.
English people have consistently asked can we have a white christian family weekend, and been refused
Of course, the defenders of the carnival would cite that, according to a 2024 study by an economist at JN Bank, the event generates around £396m of economic benefit. That implies that for every pound of taxpayer subsidy, the carnival generates nearly £20 of income for the London economy. This, on paper, sounds like a very Keynesian arrangement with the London taxpayers contributing but the private sector reaping all the benefit. If accurate (and I am sceptical), this total would mean that the carnival has more than double the economic impact of the Glastonbury Festival (£168m) and 10 times the value of the Wireless Festival (£30m). Furthermore, that £396m total translates into each of the 2m attendees spending, on average, £198. That buys a lot of jerk chicken and cans of Red Stripe, even accounting for a fair amount of carnival price gouging.But, even if we accept this rather dubious total, all of that supposed economic benefit disappears into the pockets of traders, food vendors, hoteliers and landlords. Whilst this is no bad thing generally, it does leave London taxpayers shortchanged. A majority of Londoners who do not attend carnival are picking up the tab for the minority of the capital’s population who do (not to mention the estimated 160,000 non-Londoners who attend each year). This seems not just unsustainable but manifestly unfair.
But don’t worry dear readers, I have some cost-saving suggestions to protect the taxpayers of London.
Football clubs must pay for the cost of policing inside their stadiums so, in the interests of fairness, the organisers of the Notting Hill Carnival ought to pay for – or at least contribute to – their own policing bill. So, to cover this cost, it’s time that people bought tickets to attend. If each of the 2m attendees paid just £10 each then we could cover the policing costs each year. If carnival goers each have £198 burning a hole in their pockets, a modest admission charge isn’t going to be a deal breaker. (Afterall, tickets for Glastonbury in 2025 cost a staggering £378.50).
More than one third of the policing costs (£5.5m in 2023) is caused by overtime payments because the carnival takes place over a bank holiday weekend. So, moving the event to take place either a week earlier or a week later could yield significant savings.
conveniently, the carnival organisers have never disclosed how much they make from sponsorship. Given that the Bayeux Tapestry exhibit at the British Museum alone has attracted an estimated £5m in sponsorship from a single billionaire philanthropist,
Some people might call me a killjoy for taking issue with the Notting Hill Carnival. But I don’t want to cancel the carnival. I just want to stop it being a giant black hole for taxpayers’ cash. Surely, we have better things to spend £20m on each year? If London can’t turn a reasonable profit – or at least cover its costs – on one of the biggest street festivals in the world, then there is something fundamentally wrong here.

“He condemned “hatred, intimidation, and violence in all its forms” and added that the BBC is “committed to fostering an environment where every colleague feels supported, included, and able to bring their whole self to work.””
Yea just in case some imported piece of “enrichment” chops off one of the propogandists heads. Ha Ha Ha.
Like everywhere in the world, you now have two sides, and never the twain. As the ones implementing the destruction ARE doing it, there’s nothing to say there. As the ones against it are doing NOTHING, they will be destroyed. There is no other possibility. They’re now so sure of their victory that they’ll openly laugh in your face if you say anything. That’s what you get when you do nothing at all to fight back.
The BBC is a stinking cesspit of wokeism, pro jew bias and newspeak, but the Belfast event probably didn’t happen.
All fanning the flames of the impending eruption
They’re now telling you 700 AI “agents” all colluded to do something or other, “covered their tracks” (by not deleting any logs), and all because “one agent escaped the containment field”. Presumably he fetched a ladder and the other 699 used that to “get out”.
This is now obviously a scheduled stream of events, which means they’re using it for something, probably the “government” “regulating” it. It’s their control grid after all.
For all those who think AI is “alive” and “breaking out”, then doing something or other – understand this: If AI could do anything of the sort, the “bad guys” would be using it to do just that all over the world 24/7. You wouldn’t just have gay boy altman and his tranny friends “accidentally” “letting them out”. Besides DoS attacks, no computer can “attack” another any more, and “hacking into a system” is utter BS. You could log in, if the password was something stupid, but not “hack” in. And do you really believe that all your “critical infrastructure” is connected to the internet with bad passwords and usernames ready and waiting for newly escaped AI “agents” to “sneak in”? Is your computer set up that way? But the power stations, the banks, etc all are?

BASTARDS
British people–Keep om paying to fund the BBC by buying a TV licence, thereby proving yourself to be a ……. lunatic!!!!!!!!!
every uppity deluded shitskin needs to realise their liquidation is just an afternoons work..
Oh stop your bitching, you ungrateful wretches, and enjoy the contributions offered by the orc hordes who only want to spread their brands of cultural enrichment while the media apparatus in your cuntries make a resounding effort to put you white people in your places for enjoying such privilege for so long. I mean, how dare you build societies of such such progress and improvements to quality of life while making the black and brown subhumans wallow in the abject failures of their ingrained programming and dysfunctional cultural traits so consistently demonstrated over millennia while you show off with your fancy first world, er second world now, fineries.
Every executive, manager, board of director member, editor, hell mostly everyone working for the Bolshevik Bullshitters and C*nts down to the sniveling assholes holding mic booms and teleprompters fully deserve to be chased through the streets and meet a brutal end.
Anyone who doesn’t see that the BBC is an avowed enemy of the British people is mentally f*cking retarded. Same goes for any imbecile who would watch one second of festering tripe such as the EastEnders or “Pickle Storm”… pickle storm, what in the actual f*ck? Just another form of grooming, and those who would target children for such wicked indoctrination should be at the top of the target list.
If you want to immediately identify the agents of degradation and destruction in any organization, simply find those polluting the offices as a “diversity, equity, and inclusion” hack or, even worse, some festering shit-stain such as the BBCs Ade Lamuye, “a campaigner for “migration and racial justice”. Scum such as Lamuye are far worse than worthless, they’re dangerous…and can’t be whipped in the streets and hanged soon enough.

Work camps needed…ASAP!
With the way out of them being “remigration” – get back to their shitholes from which they came to “enrich” you…
Putting these pests in good hotels or building home complexes for them, and supplying them generously with all what they need to live and go raping and stealing in their abundant free time, is a manifestly wrong approach.
Wrong and expensive.
They need to be kept in guarded work camps for the safety of the general population.
And for saving gazillions of resources needed in other areas they need to be put to productive, of course remunerated, WORK.
Zero parasitism, zero freeloading!
Of course, they can eventually be set free if they meet certain strict criteria and especially if they decide that they want to migrate back to their place of origin.
Said advice seems to be the only way out of this mess.
Illegal Migrant? Stop calling “them” “that”. As the soccer season has kicked of again all teams anywhere in Jewrope have gone “darker” still and whitish fans anywhere are thrilled of their talents, cheer, get drunk, fight among themselves, have another ale, some more nasty pills and (as usual) fall asleep!
Just one “black” sheep who likes chopping off heads of locals and who was officially among those invited guests into the white land of Come On Wealth property that formerly milked honeys everywhere in the name of the Queen/King – can not really be that bad. So carry on! And move on to the nearest exit door (for former Brits at the cliffs of Pirate rock) and just jump in deep shame or full of pride. That shouldn’t be too difficult, would it?

Sir Tom Jones’ damning verdict on BBC bosses axing him from The Voice
Story by Chloe Dobinson & Matt Jackson •
Sir Tom Jones is one of the faces of The Voice UK. Not only is he a regular on the ITV series, he was one of the original coaches when it launched on BBC in 2012.
Joining the panel alongside will.i.am, Jessie J and Danny O’Donoghue, the Welsh singing legend appeared for four consecutive seasons. But things didn’t seem to end too well.
Ahead of the fifth series, BBC bosses axed him as he came across as ” too heterosexual” and replaced him with pervert Boy George. The decision sparked an angry response from Tom, and viewers who said he had been informed that he would not be returning without any prior consultation. He accused BBC executives of “sub-standard behaviour” and said he found the way his departure was handled “very disappointing”.
The same thing happened to conjuror Paul Daniels who would flirt with his pretty wife on screen, he was also told he was ” too heterosexual” and replaced with boy rapist Derren Brown
The BBC has always been pro homosexual.
From the BBC “The mystery of why so many black Britons still can’t swim”:
“…A myth with a long history
Everyone can float.
That was the conclusion of the University of Portsmouth, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and the Black Swimming Association (BSA) in 2023; together, they set out to test one of the most persistent myths surrounding black people and swimming: that black people have denser bones than white people, which makes it harder to float…”
But:
“Racial differences in bone density between young adult black and white subjects persist after adjustment for anthropometric, lifestyle, and biochemical differences”
“…Bone density at all skeletal sites was statistically significantly greater in black than in white subjects; on average, adjustment for covariates reduced the percentage density differences by 42% for men and 34% for women. Adjusted bone density at various skeletal sites was 4.5-16.1% higher for black than for white men and was 1.2-7.3% higher for black than for white women. We concluded that racial differences in bone mineral density are not accounted for by clinical or biochemical variables measured in early adulthood…”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9024231/
Indeed, everyone “can float”, but the BBC misleading extrapolates this into “myth busting”. One might also say “everyone can run…”
All who critizice the work camps as being “against human rights” while ignoring the human rights of the many victims should go straight into one of that work camps to be in the enriching company of stabbers and rapists they are defending so “nobly”.
