Basil's News Hour with Basil

@davesw04 @ZiaYusufUK Kneecap were due to be charged and let off on a technicality, unfortunately.

@BasilsNewsHour @ZiaYusufUK Bob vylan was interviewed under caution but the police decided it didnt meet the threshold. Similar with Kneecap. Im not defending it, I dont like either of them. Just saying what happened.

Military aged Iranian men are streaming across the Channel. Some almost certainly IRCG operatives. MI5 has already thwarted 20 attempted terrorist attacks from them. Starmer’s response, egged on by Tories is to stop a rapper coming here. A sick joke on the British people.

@davesw04 @ZiaYusufUK Bob Vylan and Kneecap are allowed to perform in the UK and despite antisemitic chants and expressing support for proscribed terror groups respectively. Neither Bob Vylan nor Kneecap were charged despite meeting the threshold for a Public Order offence and Terror offence. Why not?

@BasilsNewsHour @ZiaYusufUK Yes Kanye had UK visa cancelled, Bob Vylan has US visa cancelled so the same outcome for them

@davesw04 @ZiaYusufUK UK

@BasilsNewsHour @ZiaYusufUK Bob vylan had their US visa cancelled which is exactly what has happened to Kayne.

@Arrogance_0024 I hope your Russian language skills are good, bud.

High time to kick the US 🇺🇸 out of NATO.

@Cappyarmy Taxation being theft

Guys, I’m lonely on this flight . What’cha thinking about ?

@cman4prez @sentdefender Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

@sentdefender They why did they launch so many more missiles in the 12 day war than this one?

Iran reportedly told Pakistani mediators that their current stockpiles sit at 15,000 missiles and 45,000 drones, indicating both a willingness to continue the conflict and a capacity for extended exchange of fires between them and the U.S.-Israel. This comes as reports of dwindling U.S., Israeli, and Gulf nation stocks of long-range precision fires and interceptors abound.

@CountDankulaTV The guy from Coatbridge asda has *2* youtube channels???

Are there any news stories you guys would like to see covered on the second channel?

@XplayPictures @jossaparicio22 @PolitlcsUK @Telegraph "A person in a public place commits an offence if he...displays an article, in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a...supporter of a proscribed organisation." Mo Chara sinultaneously shouted "Up Hamas! Up hezbollah!" So yes, a crime.

@BasilsNewsHour @jossaparicio22 @PolitlcsUK @Telegraph Oh no, a man allegedly waved a flag how horrible 😭😂🤣🤣🤣

🚨 NEW: Labour MPs are now urging Keir Starmer to block Kanye West from coming to the UK and performing at Wireless [@Telegraph]

@XplayPictures @jossaparicio22 @PolitlcsUK @Telegraph FYI, In May 2025, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh (stage name Mo Chara) was charged under the UK's Terrorism Act for allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag during a Kneecap concert in London in November 2024. UK law treats Hezbollah as a proscribed terrorist organization.

@BasilsNewsHour @jossaparicio22 @PolitlcsUK @Telegraph Bob Vylan and Kneecap didn't do anything wrong and nor did Ye..

@tweliiii @jossaparicio22 @PolitlcsUK @Telegraph But you can apparently block them from performing...or not.. if they're Bob Vylan and Kneecap...

@BasilsNewsHour @jossaparicio22 @PolitlcsUK @Telegraph can’t really ban a citizen

@jossaparicio22 @PolitlcsUK @Telegraph Bob Vylan and Kneecap aren't banned...why not?

@PolitlcsUK @Telegraph You can’t seriously be against this.

@AMAZlNGNATURE Still flat then

@PaulChato You look very different now

I had this until I moved out of my parent’s house.

@Mist0017 @PolitlcsUK The real minimum wage is 0.

@PolitlcsUK If employers gave employees what they were worth instead of trying to pay them peanuts, there would be no need for minimum wage. It's entirely down to the employers that this is happening, nobody else.

🚨 REMINDER: The minimum wage goes up tomorrow  Over 21s - £12.71 (from £12.21)  18 to 20 - £10.85 (from £10)  Under 18s and apprentices - £8 (from £7.55)

@PaulChato Engine oil and coolant are interchangeable dontcha know bud 😅

I sure could use some more excitement in my life.

@JackWDart I've not been robbed once since leaving London in 2019. I've lived accross the UK - also abroad in Europe and South America. I was only ever robbed, multiple times, in London. Stop the performative nonsense. London isn't safe.

Do you know what’s mad. I spent all day in central London today and wasn’t murdered once. I’m starting to think these claims about London being crime-ridden might be false.

@CBR It not festering in modernity is why people like it

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is an iconic film series, but it also has many elements that are difficult to watch in modern day. cbr.com/8-reasons-toug…
