.. The idea that a Republican senate is going to also impeach a Republican president for getting evidence that Democratic contender and his son are corrupt, is a fairy story.
CM,
Yes, right now it suits our Trump hating Marxist State Broadcaster to, ‘pile on the hatred’. Like the strong showing of other Trump haters being interviewed on Toady after the 0800 news.
I don’t think the BABC is motivated alone. I think they are, ‘hand in glove’ with the other America hating media in the US and are probably subject to suggestion/persuasion. After all, Sopel works for CNN, doesn’t he?

Politics, like economics, social studies and religion is not a science. Chemistry is a science subject as is physics, biology and astronomy. Not politics. Or any of the other garbage subjects.
It wasn’t that long ago that a ‘ proper ‘ muslim rushed up to Scotland to murder an Ahmadi shopkeeper because he had wished his customers a Merry Christmas.
Which just goes to show that muslims, like the commies, hate everyone and everything. Which is probably one of the reasons they flock together.
WTched the daily politics for the first time for a couple of years today. It seems that the BBC are settling on Corbyn as the principal reason why Labour lost. Just so we are 100% clear , some Labour policies are reported to have been popular and Please note Brexit wasn’t an issue . It was just Corbyn whom lots of voters found toxic. My view is that it was a mixture of a Corbyn, Marxist policies and of course Brexit. By denying Brexit was a major cause the BBC seems to me to be preparing for five years of Rejoinerism. It clear their anointed leader is Starmer, the arch Remainer and no doubt now a rejoiner. These buggers never learn do they? Clearly they regard Brexit as being a mortal insult , a permanent stain on the country which they must expunge no matter what the cost. The BBC is way beyond reform and needs to got rid of.
Double
I found a lot of labour policies really attractive – the free Wi-fi – the free iPad – free energy from fusion power – free prem football – my own Butler . These were all great .
It will be good to see some deeper analysis of the result and campaign -particularly the ‘news’ in the final weeks that it might lead to a ‘hung ‘ parliament …
DT,
“These buggers never learn do they? Clearly they regard (Trump) as being a mortal insult , a permanent stain on the country which they must expunge no matter what the cost.” Split application?
With all due respect to Farage, the Conservatives could have taken an extra 20 + seats from Labour if the Brexit party had stood down, beating Thatcher’s record.
An extra 20 Tories in the HoC is of no benefit to the Brexxit Party or any of us that want a full Brexit.
I still fear that Boris is going to give us the sort of deal that is like May’s with a bit of tinkering.
Already the influence of the ERG has been diminished because of the landslide.
They had him by the short and curlies before, but not now.
Be careful what you wish for…
Even the Daily Telegraph this weekend described Boris as a socially Liberal politician, which is about as close as they’re going to get to ‘Socialist’. I suppose it’s better than the previous Marxist they had, but it’s no way a small c conservative.
Do you think that the Conservatives (i.e. Cummings & Co.) calculated that they would rather win by a smaller margin and not be beholden to Farage, whereas they might have made a deal with him beforehand and won more seats?

“there has been a doubling of negative coverage against Labour”
“in the ten printed newspaper Mon-Fri”
“we didn’t look at online”
..FFS obvious PR not news.. cos it’s not a countable thing

but “Yeh in 2017 the papers supported Theresa May,
if they worked , then she would have won
..I don’t buy into the power of the print newspapers
The Mirror only sells 500K, not 2.5 million”
“You could throw a harpoon in a BBC newsroom and not hit a Conservative”
I heard some of this , it started with most of press being accused of being anti JC …..no mention of BBC anti Boris…its just unbelievable. BBC still can’t see their own faults or accept the GE result , I am sure the anti Boris crap will continue, Still trying to avoid any BBC news and diversification programmes !!
Only just picking up on the post-mortems by the BBC but I was checking in with all the fine posts here during the election. This tweet stuck with me.
What’s hit me the most in the last 3.5 years is just how deeply ideological programming has taken root. Living in London I come into contact with a lot of progressive liberals. I know some who agonise over the white goods in their home because they’re made by a company where the CEO isn’t politically in agreement with their worldview.
It’s still a mystery to them, and the BBC, that people might quietly assess policies on the basis of evidence, make their decision and then get on with life. Intersectionality and ideology are poor substitutes for basic reality. Watching all the hand-wringing and scrabbling around for answers by the media it would appear this is still a riddle too perplexing to solve for many.
Australian bomb jihadis were yesterday sentenced to 40 and 36 years
In 2017 they had a bomb ready to smuggle onto a plane

Yes, and it is now also supported by people trafficking, drug smuggling and prostitution as well as our VAT.
The echoes of 39 VietNamese screaming and struggling to breath ought to be amplified over the PA system in those shiny marble, glass and steel corridors of the EU building in Brussels.
Thoughtful – I thought you favoured paying politicians more money so that we get ‘quality ‘. I noted that the youngest new labour MP is to give up half her salary to charity and only pocket £35k for the year ( not sure if that’s a tax dodge `) .
The Funding of TheReich EU , the corruption , the anti democratic nature -was on this list of why people wanted to leave .
There is no prospect of reform . The whole think riles against the Anglo Saxon mindset – get out of the EU – then target the Lords . A progressive reduction in numbers – maybe the longest serving 100 each year until its down to a manageable number of elected 5 year time servers .
The nutcase Labour MP actually believes the average working mans take home pay in Britain is £35K pa after deductions!
As for an elected second chamber, the problem is you get a pro or anti government majority – a rubber stamp, or block everything situation. Recall the USA grinding to a halt because the upper chamber refused to agree the budget.
It doesn’t work
They only get paid £300 if they turn up which might be great if you live in London but if you need a hotel room, plus meals it doesn’t leave much change.
I wonder if that figure is household rather than individual income
cos the ONS give household income as £29K
My students in Indonesia earn 1/10 th of UK salaries, but property is 1/20th , you can get a house for £7K.
Which is why my room rent is £10pw including bills.
Here in Britain in the village £6 per hour seems normal .

I thought I might like some news tonight, Wednesday, now that I know what the BBC says cannot upset me and at the moment know where the majority opinion lies, Switched on BBC1 at 6pm. Lead story was about the dementia crisis. Yes I feel very sorry for the carers but to me this is opinion rather than news. Nothing has changed. Yesterday was difficult for the cares and tomorrow might be a bit more difficult. Why today is it news? I cannot really answer that one because I switched off. I will also point out, that unlike itv adverts, suddenly for this item the BBC became very white.
Deborah-I thought the 6PM ” News” on the BBC had a BBC
agenda.As you say this was not news. It is if most of the
programme had been prepared maybe even a couple of days
ago. I suppose I am sounding like an old male chauvinist pig.
But I thought the news was very women orientated. Yes
we expect a women presenter that’s about 75% of the
time. But most of the news seem to feature women in
some guise or other. From the terrible plight of the wives
of the Alzeimer sufferers ,to the lady darts player who beat
a man.
Actually there is nothing new about a lady darts player beating a man. Back in the early 80’s I played in several dart leagues, and was the only female in two mens’ teams. That wouldn’t have occurred if I was rubbish (and they were a ‘man’ short), I also, with (according to the blokes) annoying regularity beat the chaps thus ensuring my place in the side. So to celebrate this lady’s achievements is about 40 years too late !
The BBC are always obsessed with young snowflakes and black wimmin having role models and they give prominence to women who satisfy that demand. Mrs Thatcher didn’t need one and on a much smaller scale, neither did I. Females should aim high but justify what they achieve by being good at what they do, not get a job by being female.
#BBC has totally given up actual news, instead it delivers #social#propaganda for more #publicfunding, 30 seconds on care crisis for #dementia. Yes, very important, but it is NOT news. Now we’re onto “analysis”, carefully inserting “10 years” …
Vlad
Thank you for posting this – I’ve just watched the 57 minutes of prof starkeys views and if you have the time – it’s really worth a listen .
His view of the treason of the traitors in the 2017 -2019 parliament is well made . The BBC is dealt with lightly about 30 minutes in and it ends with Scotland .
To think that of all newspapers The Sun commissioned this is a wonder . It reminded me of those lectures to camera AJP Taylor did …. you’d never see anything like it on terrestrial TV anymore
The interviewer asks a few short, intelligent and relevant questions, then lets Starkey answer at length, without interrupting – and LISTENS. He is not trying to be the star, score gotcha points, trip him up, virtue signal, or show off his liberal credentials or the size of his dick.
Unlike certain Broadcasters one could mention.
Result: an informed and informative interview, the likes of which would never be seen on you-know-where.
Starkey is wrong – as a historian(!) – in what he said about the Puritans. I’m not a historian (chose science for education, instead) but I have paid more attention to history in adult life.
He forgets that there were very different forms of Puritanism, as exemplified with what happened during the English Civil War.
For sure, you had the Witchfinders and the stake-burners but many of us would describe that as the subversion and decline of the pure core of Puritanism. Starkey forgets that the true Christian Puritanism was found in the countryside, mostly in the southern half of England but also in Scotland, too. The Yeoman, God-fearing & worshipping, Briton that he refers to soon afterwards.
It is true that Puritanism became highly non-Conformist when the State Church (Church of England) was given power over the population to enforce Church law and started imprisoning people. He also forgets that the Quakers, the original Pentecostals (non-Conformists) of their day, had largely declined by the time his parents were taking him to meetings.
He also declined to mention that the original true Puritans, when Puritanism had gone bad and when the CoE sought extra power and abused those powers, bolstered by migration from central and western Europe of people like the Anabaptists went off to form the American colonies. The true Puritans were seeking freedom, including freedom of worship from an oppressive force of governance. Yes, that Puritanism was also subverted in time, hence Salem and its Witch Trials.
As a historian, he knows all that or should do.
I just think his train of thought for that interview was heading down quite a narrow line of thought and speech. Hope no-one has been misled by it.
As to the Starmers, Thornberrys, Soubrys and Owen Jones being Puritans, let’s not beat about the bush. They are (Inter)National Socialists and Communists in both their doctrines and their behavioural choices for the population at large but not necessarily themselves.

TRUMP RALLY FROM RSBN
Right Side Broadcasting Network broadcasting from a very cold Battle Creek, Michigan tonight: President Trump & VP Pence! Watch if you wish…
As for ‘the school shouldn’t have let him’, they’d probably already brainwashed the kids in the same leftie ideology that pervades the whole education system.
Come off it @stormzy – saying stuff like that to a bunch of very young schoolkids isn’t cool, and you know it. You’re a hugely influential role model now to so many youngsters, wield that power more carefully. https://t.co/i6WbWouKX7
stormzy.. yep another one who has sold out!…
another thick, uneducated, self-obsessed, self-opinionated piece of carp.
Simples..just like him lol! His “music” makes a dog turd seem interesting and full of potential! The man’s an eejit..plain to see.
Not just an eejit: a dangerous inflammatory eejit, like all the rap ‘artistes’ that the beeb love to fawn over – so edgy and cool dahling, so ethnic. Wicked.
Nothing more nauseating than people who should know better trying to get down with da kids.
Interesting article in the Mail on Sunday supplement Event, by Robert Gore-Langton the theatre critic. Quote “Roaringly PC Narnia loses a bit of its magic” – The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe, Bridge Theatre, London……
Quote” …… The story is largely intact, except that CS Lewis’s specifically Christian, spiritual dimension has been replaced by the religion of diversity, and the four Pevensie siblings are played by adult black actors. As the Professor pointedly reminds us, our minds are like parachutes – they only work when they’re open”.
I think this is the first time that I’ve ever read a theatre critic openly criticise what diversity has done to wrecking a decades old childrens’ story.
Off topic here, however, what on earth has happened to our once hallowed justice system and sense of fair play?
We hear today of a trio of people who wrongly defrauded Royal Fail of £225K in stamps they had ‘washed’.
The Man received a 4 year prison sentence, his wife a 2 year suspended sentence (nothing), and their accomplice who hadn’t been involved as much an 18 month suspended sentence (nothing).
The man and the wife were just about equally involved with the money going into a joint account, so why the disparity in the sentence?
But that’s not the point.
Little individual people are the only wrongdoers are the only ones the law is concerned with now. If you are part of a big organisation you can break what ever laws you please with impunity.
Look how many live Post Office Counters staff ruined with their faulty computer system, and the know openly known purjury of its senior executives who deliberately and knowingly lied in court and had people sent to prison wrongfully as a result.
Nothing can ever make this right, but some nod to justice would certainly help, because if these rogues are not brought to book for what they have done, it gives every senior government official in every single government department the green light to do exactly the same, and that is beyond thinking.
It’s not just what they broadcast regarding this country it is their entire world view. What about all the lies by omission. There is obviously a news blackout with regard to the giblets jaunes in France which has no doubt been commanded from the puppet masters higher in the establishment.
If Boris is supposed to be taking us out (of the EU) and Farage is keen to point out the EU’s flaws, then why are neither of them pointing out what is happening in France?
Why have the MSM been told to keep quiet on this?
Btw, as the BBC/MSM are not reporting on this, where can I find out what is happening there (France) at present ?
BBC News 24 at 10-00 p.m. going overboard on President Trump impeachment proceedings.Katy Kay and Jon Sopel almost orgasming with delight.I suppose this is looked on as a consolation prize, after their beloved Labour party lost the general election.Next week expect more sympathetic treatment of Labour leader candidates.Funniest thing I saw today, Jayne Secker on SKY news having a near slip of the tongue.

Que sera sera, the future of the UK is there for us all to see.
The Empire Windrush made just a single voyage from Jamaica to the UK and this was in 1948.
So even if a passenger were a new-born baby on board, they would now be around 71. However and to the best of my knowledge, the Windrush carried around 500 adult male migrants from Kingston to Tilbury on that one voyage and no young children as migrants.
As such, this woman cannot be part of the so-called Windrush generation. Neither can most of the others.

Was driving in the rain yesterday and I thought I would try R2 for a change , and guess what? the Jeremy Vine Show was on.
God what an utter sh#t show of snowflakery.
They were discussing “men” who now have PTSD after their wives have, had difficult labours.
One particular crybaby called (called Mark I think) was telling us because of all of the blood and tension ( his wife recieved emergency treatment) has now put him off sex and having kids in the future – well thank God for that thought I.
Queen Jeremy in her best high pitched uber effeminate, whiny, social worker voice making all the right, understanding noises and – helping all of the babies to offload their stress and complaints about how they felt “in the way” of the medical staff. “Well guess what numbnuts – you probably were – selfish bloody medical staff, should have stopped to give you a shoulder rub while your wife is bleeding to death!
At least these “men”are not alone, maybe they can form a “brotherhood” with some of our poor bloody squaddies who have seen their mates cut to pieces in a shoot out with the Taliban or had their genitals blown off by an IED – I am sure they would be more than sympathetic listening to some infantised man/child telling us he cant get it up any more.
As far as I could tell none of the featured babies had lost their wives, but to be honest my R4 “off switch” reflex came into play before my blood pressure rose too much.
Even forgetting the everyday lies of R4. Listening to this self indulgent guff on R2 reminded me yet again how the BBC seems intent on giving weakness respectability and creating a land fit for “zeroes” whilst those who have acted in a genuinely heroic fashion for Queen and Country get quietly forgotten about or prosecuted.
Men have slowly been ‘feminised’ over the past few decades. Just looking at those in their early 20’s , most have pasty skins due to lack of outdoor activities, some are so overweight they can hardly move from one McDonalds to another, and a lot have the mentality of 12 year olds and are devoid of any responsibility in their lives. Of course I’m generalising and there are those who live their lives responsibly and are well educated., but even in the development of their voices, a lot of chaps when I was a teenager, had deep timbered tones, but what on earth had happened ? we now have a generation of weedy, reedy and girly voices ! Sorry chaps if you are one of those.
I have just had a laugh out loud moments while listening to Toady.

Odd, all these Labour MPs and supporters who always ‘knew’ Corbyn was going to be a disaster. You’d have thought someone would have mentioned it before the election.

It wasn’t that long ago that a ‘ proper ‘ muslim rushed up to Scotland to murder an Ahmadi shopkeeper because he had wished his customers a Merry Christmas.
Which just goes to show that muslims, like the commies, hate everyone and everything. Which is probably one of the reasons they flock together.

WTched the daily politics for the first time for a couple of years today. It seems that the BBC are settling on Corbyn as the principal reason why Labour lost. Just so we are 100% clear , some Labour policies are reported to have been popular and Please note Brexit wasn’t an issue . It was just Corbyn whom lots of voters found toxic. My view is that it was a mixture of a Corbyn, Marxist policies and of course Brexit. By denying Brexit was a major cause the BBC seems to me to be preparing for five years of Rejoinerism. It clear their anointed leader is Starmer, the arch Remainer and no doubt now a rejoiner. These buggers never learn do they? Clearly they regard Brexit as being a mortal insult , a permanent stain on the country which they must expunge no matter what the cost. The BBC is way beyond reform and needs to got rid of.

I found a lot of labour policies really attractive – the free Wi-fi – the free iPad – free energy from fusion power – free prem football – my own Butler . These were all great .
It will be good to see some deeper analysis of the result and campaign -particularly the ‘news’ in the final weeks that it might lead to a ‘hung ‘ parliament …

With all due respect to Farage, the Conservatives could have taken an extra 20 + seats from Labour if the Brexit party had stood down, beating Thatcher’s record.

An extra 20 Tories in the HoC is of no benefit to the Brexxit Party or any of us that want a full Brexit.
I still fear that Boris is going to give us the sort of deal that is like May’s with a bit of tinkering.
Already the influence of the ERG has been diminished because of the landslide.
They had him by the short and curlies before, but not now.

Only just picking up on the post-mortems by the BBC but I was checking in with all the fine posts here during the election. This tweet stuck with me.
What’s hit me the most in the last 3.5 years is just how deeply ideological programming has taken root. Living in London I come into contact with a lot of progressive liberals. I know some who agonise over the white goods in their home because they’re made by a company where the CEO isn’t politically in agreement with their worldview.
It’s still a mystery to them, and the BBC, that people might quietly assess policies on the basis of evidence, make their decision and then get on with life. Intersectionality and ideology are poor substitutes for basic reality. Watching all the hand-wringing and scrabbling around for answers by the media it would appear this is still a riddle too perplexing to solve for many.

The nutcase Labour MP actually believes the average working mans take home pay in Britain is £35K pa after deductions!
As for an elected second chamber, the problem is you get a pro or anti government majority – a rubber stamp, or block everything situation. Recall the USA grinding to a halt because the upper chamber refused to agree the budget.

I thought I might like some news tonight, Wednesday, now that I know what the BBC says cannot upset me and at the moment know where the majority opinion lies, Switched on BBC1 at 6pm. Lead story was about the dementia crisis. Yes I feel very sorry for the carers but to me this is opinion rather than news. Nothing has changed. Yesterday was difficult for the cares and tomorrow might be a bit more difficult. Why today is it news? I cannot really answer that one because I switched off. I will also point out, that unlike itv adverts, suddenly for this item the BBC became very white.

Deborah-I thought the 6PM ” News” on the BBC had a BBC
agenda.As you say this was not news. It is if most of the
programme had been prepared maybe even a couple of days
ago. I suppose I am sounding like an old male chauvinist pig.
But I thought the news was very women orientated. Yes
we expect a women presenter that’s about 75% of the
time. But most of the news seem to feature women in
some guise or other. From the terrible plight of the wives
of the Alzeimer sufferers ,to the lady darts player who beat
a man.

Actually there is nothing new about a lady darts player beating a man. Back in the early 80’s I played in several dart leagues, and was the only female in two mens’ teams. That wouldn’t have occurred if I was rubbish (and they were a ‘man’ short), I also, with (according to the blokes) annoying regularity beat the chaps thus ensuring my place in the side. So to celebrate this lady’s achievements is about 40 years too late !

The BBC are always obsessed with young snowflakes and black wimmin having role models and they give prominence to women who satisfy that demand. Mrs Thatcher didn’t need one and on a much smaller scale, neither did I. Females should aim high but justify what they achieve by being good at what they do, not get a job by being female.

Thank you for posting this – I’ve just watched the 57 minutes of prof starkeys views and if you have the time – it’s really worth a listen .
His view of the treason of the traitors in the 2017 -2019 parliament is well made . The BBC is dealt with lightly about 30 minutes in and it ends with Scotland .
To think that of all newspapers The Sun commissioned this is a wonder . It reminded me of those lectures to camera AJP Taylor did …. you’d never see anything like it on terrestrial TV anymore

Yes, don’t let the Sun logo put readers off.
The interviewer asks a few short, intelligent and relevant questions, then lets Starkey answer at length, without interrupting – and LISTENS. He is not trying to be the star, score gotcha points, trip him up, virtue signal, or show off his liberal credentials or the size of his dick.
Unlike certain Broadcasters one could mention.
Result: an informed and informative interview, the likes of which would never be seen on you-know-where.

Starkey is wrong – as a historian(!) – in what he said about the Puritans. I’m not a historian (chose science for education, instead) but I have paid more attention to history in adult life.
He forgets that there were very different forms of Puritanism, as exemplified with what happened during the English Civil War.
For sure, you had the Witchfinders and the stake-burners but many of us would describe that as the subversion and decline of the pure core of Puritanism. Starkey forgets that the true Christian Puritanism was found in the countryside, mostly in the southern half of England but also in Scotland, too. The Yeoman, God-fearing & worshipping, Briton that he refers to soon afterwards.
It is true that Puritanism became highly non-Conformist when the State Church (Church of England) was given power over the population to enforce Church law and started imprisoning people. He also forgets that the Quakers, the original Pentecostals (non-Conformists) of their day, had largely declined by the time his parents were taking him to meetings.
He also declined to mention that the original true Puritans, when Puritanism had gone bad and when the CoE sought extra power and abused those powers, bolstered by migration from central and western Europe of people like the Anabaptists went off to form the American colonies. The true Puritans were seeking freedom, including freedom of worship from an oppressive force of governance. Yes, that Puritanism was also subverted in time, hence Salem and its Witch Trials.
As a historian, he knows all that or should do.
I just think his train of thought for that interview was heading down quite a narrow line of thought and speech. Hope no-one has been misled by it.
As to the Starmers, Thornberrys, Soubrys and Owen Jones being Puritans, let’s not beat about the bush. They are (Inter)National Socialists and Communists in both their doctrines and their behavioural choices for the population at large but not necessarily themselves.

Interesting article in the Mail on Sunday supplement Event, by Robert Gore-Langton the theatre critic. Quote “Roaringly PC Narnia loses a bit of its magic” – The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe, Bridge Theatre, London……
Quote” …… The story is largely intact, except that CS Lewis’s specifically Christian, spiritual dimension has been replaced by the religion of diversity, and the four Pevensie siblings are played by adult black actors. As the Professor pointedly reminds us, our minds are like parachutes – they only work when they’re open”.

Off topic here, however, what on earth has happened to our once hallowed justice system and sense of fair play?
We hear today of a trio of people who wrongly defrauded Royal Fail of £225K in stamps they had ‘washed’.
The Man received a 4 year prison sentence, his wife a 2 year suspended sentence (nothing), and their accomplice who hadn’t been involved as much an 18 month suspended sentence (nothing).
The man and the wife were just about equally involved with the money going into a joint account, so why the disparity in the sentence?
But that’s not the point.
Little individual people are the only wrongdoers are the only ones the law is concerned with now. If you are part of a big organisation you can break what ever laws you please with impunity.
Look how many live Post Office Counters staff ruined with their faulty computer system, and the know openly known purjury of its senior executives who deliberately and knowingly lied in court and had people sent to prison wrongfully as a result.
Nothing can ever make this right, but some nod to justice would certainly help, because if these rogues are not brought to book for what they have done, it gives every senior government official in every single government department the green light to do exactly the same, and that is beyond thinking.

As such, this woman cannot be part of the so-called Windrush generation. Neither can most of the others.

Was driving in the rain yesterday and I thought I would try R2 for a change , and guess what? the Jeremy Vine Show was on.
God what an utter sh#t show of snowflakery.
They were discussing “men” who now have PTSD after their wives have, had difficult labours.
One particular crybaby called (called Mark I think) was telling us because of all of the blood and tension ( his wife recieved emergency treatment) has now put him off sex and having kids in the future – well thank God for that thought I.
Queen Jeremy in her best high pitched uber effeminate, whiny, social worker voice making all the right, understanding noises and – helping all of the babies to offload their stress and complaints about how they felt “in the way” of the medical staff. “Well guess what numbnuts – you probably were – selfish bloody medical staff, should have stopped to give you a shoulder rub while your wife is bleeding to death!
At least these “men”are not alone, maybe they can form a “brotherhood” with some of our poor bloody squaddies who have seen their mates cut to pieces in a shoot out with the Taliban or had their genitals blown off by an IED – I am sure they would be more than sympathetic listening to some infantised man/child telling us he cant get it up any more.
As far as I could tell none of the featured babies had lost their wives, but to be honest my R4 “off switch” reflex came into play before my blood pressure rose too much.
Even forgetting the everyday lies of R4. Listening to this self indulgent guff on R2 reminded me yet again how the BBC seems intent on giving weakness respectability and creating a land fit for “zeroes” whilst those who have acted in a genuinely heroic fashion for Queen and Country get quietly forgotten about or prosecuted.

Men have slowly been ‘feminised’ over the past few decades. Just looking at those in their early 20’s , most have pasty skins due to lack of outdoor activities, some are so overweight they can hardly move from one McDonalds to another, and a lot have the mentality of 12 year olds and are devoid of any responsibility in their lives. Of course I’m generalising and there are those who live their lives responsibly and are well educated., but even in the development of their voices, a lot of chaps when I was a teenager, had deep timbered tones, but what on earth had happened ? we now have a generation of weedy, reedy and girly voices !
