Penstone joined the war effort at 15, first as an air raid messenger, then served on a submarine and HMS Campania during D-Day.

Asked to clarify, he said: “We fought for freedom, but now it’s worse than when I fought.”
Presenter Kate Garraway thanked him: “We’re grateful for your bravery. It’s our job to build the country you fought for.”

Former SAS Officer and prospective London Mayoral candidate Ant Middleton says he wants to 'Grab Adil Ray By The Scruff Of The Neck' and throw him back in time to show him what Alec Penstone and his Brothers in Arms faced to protect our freedoms and the Sovereignty of our Country , our Hero's and their motivation to keep Britain safe and free seem to be a mystery to Mr Ray and his like.

It is indeed our job to rebuild the country he and his Brothers fought to protect.

‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

  And in a very ironic twist, 'coloured' troops of the Empire/Commonwealth played a huge role in the Second World War.  Not only did Ray do Penstone disservice, he also ignored the tremendous sacrifices of soldiers from the subcontinent and various regions of Africa.

  Hard to forgive willful ignorance.

Quote:Second migrant sent to France returns to the UK

'A second migrant who had been sent from the UK to France under the government's "one in, one out"
deal has returned to the UK, the Home Office has confirmed. The man was detained immediately,
having been detected by biometrics, and will be sent back to France "as quickly as possible", the
Home Office has said.

The "one in, one out" pilot scheme with France is aimed at deterring migrants from coming to the
UK in small boats across the English Channel. Last month, an Iranian man re-entered the UK by
small boat one month after being removed to France. He was deported again last Wednesday.

A Home Office spokesperson said officials would continue to catch and return anyone trying to
re-enter the UK... (More in Link)

I think they know given the evidence their goose is cooked mate , in the States I believe your courts award punitive damages ours do not and I imagine an American President in an American court hold all the cards in this game , I foresee a big pay-out.

Sadly the BBC will be bailed out by the government when the time comes , the Establishment can't afford to see their propaganda channel to be sunk.

I don't pay the licence fee so I along with millions of other right minded Brits don't care what happens to the Ministry of Truth's outlet , let it burn I say.

Quote:The BBC (among others) used to be respected for the truth of their reports world wide. Now they are just another mouth piece for whatever political cause is being pushed.  If they did this to Trump wonder who in the U.K. has been smeared and lied about. Nigel Farage since he is bucking the Muslim and socialist sympathizers  will, if not already has or will, experience the fake news lies unless Trump sues and wins. The world needs to weed out the propaganda and lies by the so call government sponsored (CIA, NSA ?) news. 

Quote:ASSAULT CHARGE Somali long distance runner ‘who trained with Mo Farah’ before coming to UK
seeking asylum is charged with sex offences

'A Somalian runner who “trained with Mo Farah” and came to the UK as an asylum seeker has been
charged with sexual assault. Abdinasir Elmi, 25, appeared in court last month and pleaded not guilty.
He was living at a migrant hotel in Bournemouth, according to court documents.


Abdinasir Elmi.

It is not known when he arrived in the UK, but he has been training with Bournemouth Athletics Club
since October 2024. The two alleged incidents took place in April. Abdinasir Elmi pleaded not guilty to
one count of assault by penetration and one count of sexual assault when he appeared in court.

Elmi spoke to confirm his pleas and required a Somali interpreter during the short hearing at Winchester
Crown Court, Hants on October 9. Prosecutor Oliver Hirsch and defence counsel Richard Tutt had some
difficulty finding a trial date which worked for them both.

Judge Rufus Taylor said: “It’s a serious case and I would prefer continuity of counsel on both sides if at
all possible.” The judge confirmed that a pre-trial review will take place on January 9 2026, followed by
the trial on February 9 2026.

According to a report from the Bournemouth Athletic Club from October, “Whilst he was in Somalia,
AbdiNasir spent some time training with some of the world’s top athletes including Mo Farah and
Bashir Abdi. “He’s ran half marathons in 63 minutes and 64 minutes before would put him up there
with the very best in the UK.” The club did not respond to The Sun’s request to comment.

He holds the course record for the Bournemouth parkrun – having run it in 14:32 in May.
England Athletics confirmed they were investigating and said in a statement: “We can confirm that
Abdinasir has been a registered athlete, and we are looking into the matter with a view to suspending
his England Athletics membership. “We cannot comment further on an ongoing investigation.”...'
