Hmmmmmm. "Churchgoers". "People". "Dozens of people have been killed in an attack by an Islamic State affiliate in north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, local officials say. About 20 of the dead were worshippers taking part in a night vigil at a church in the town of Komanda when they were attacked by Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) fighters, they say. Nearby shops and businesses were looted and set on fire. The ADF emerged in Uganda in the 1990s, accusing the government there of persecuting Muslims, but is now based over the border in DR Congo, where it regularly attacks civilians of all religions, as well as in Uganda. It has since become part of the Islamic State's Central African Province, which also includes a group in Mozambique." www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3ezjg34lw4oIs this Trump's ceasefire? |

Good. Also hahaha. "GB News has overtaken the BBC as Britain’s most watched news channel for the first time. New figures from official ratings agency Barb show GB News beat both BBC News and Sky News during key time slots in July, in a major coup for the start-up broadcaster just after its fourth birthday. The latest data show GB News pulled in an average audience of 80,600 across each day in July. That was ahead of BBC News on 78,700 and 67,000 for Sky News. GB News also triumphed during the breakfast show and primetime weekday evenings, as well as during the Sunday morning political slot, which is hosted by Telegraph associate editor Camilla Tominey. Ben Briscoe, head of programming at GB News, said: “This is a seismic moment, not just for us, but for British broadcasting. We are ending the dominance of the BBC News channel and Sky News.” www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/08/01/gb-news-overtakes-bbc-for-the-first-time/?recomm_id=98b81662-5a2e-40f7-b143-9904189d4ac3 |

"80,600"? 0.1% of the British population watched at absolute peak time?
Also, it beat the "BBC News Channel". Which, I don't know, is claiming to be faster than Usain Bolt because you can expel your vomit faster than he can expel his.

I mean. Looking at the pic, I thought that's quite a feminine looking "boy". Turns out she's a chick in trousers but you have to get waaaaaay down the article before the BBC mentions that. "A murder-obsessed teenager who spoke of carrying out a mass shooting at an Edinburgh school has been jailed for six years. A court heard Felix Winter, who is now 18, "idolised" the killers behind the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in the US. The pupil repeatedly spoke about mounting a similar "Doomsday" attack to the one which claimed the lives of 12 students and a teacher in Colorado. Winter, who also held racist and pro-Nazi views, admitted two charges at a hearing in February. The High Court in Glasgow heard the offences - a breach of the peace and a charge under the Terrorism Act - were committed when he was aged 15 and 16 between June 2022 and July 2023. Shelagh McCall KC, defending, called for a strict alternative to custody as her client was a "vulnerable young person" with mental health issues." www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyj2g5l1g2o |

I see that the BBC and the Israelis have decided that satire isn't dead: www.bbc.com/news/articles/cewyk4ezeedoThere's a starving person in Gaza! Something must be done! We shall ignore the other millions of starving people in Gaza. And the starvation of this person is totally unrelated to the starvation of the other millions. |

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a leather butcher-boy cap in the play area on Worthing promenade the other day. I was tempted to call the police. I think his grandchildren should be taken into care.

Fair play to the slags ..... "Secret filming at a major UK railway station has captured associates of a violent smuggling gang collecting cash payments to secure migrant places on small boats. Two men met a BBC undercover reporter on separate occasions on the busy concourse at Birmingham's New Street Station to collect envelopes containing hundreds of pounds. The confrontation was part of a BBC News investigation - fronted by Paris correspondent Andrew Harding - into the French operations and UK links of the powerful gang taking people across the English Channel." www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cwy57p22nl3oOdd that Auntie has had more success than HMG. |

GB News is too upright to go undercover.

That's true. And even the wide range of ethnic members of the GB News have lost the sullen, resentful and shiftless aspect which would be required to pass as a member of a criminal gang of traitors. But enough about the BBC.

The Sun clearly have a few months' worth of sleeze here. They sound like they're enjoying themselves.
