Belated TOADY Watch #1 – Par for the course . . . …
… . . is the BBC, and TOADY in particular, attacking the Government (Conservative Party) for some perceived failing. But in so doing, the BBC and TOADY revealed this morning levels of their over-staffing, on health and also on entertainment.
Scope for BBC annual Budget savings? Yes – plenty.
Measures required: all posts that have more than one Editor and one correspondent should face redundancy for those above that minimum requirement.
Objective: reduction of the Licence Fee to subscription levels.

The 200-year-old diary that’s rewriting gay history
A diary written by a Yorkshire farmer more than 200 years ago is being hailed as providing remarkable evidence of tolerance towards homosexuality in Britain much earlier than previously imagined.
…
An acceptance of homosexuality might have been expressed privately in aristocratic or philosophically radical circles – but this was being discussed by a rural worker.
They find it amazing that an “ordinary person” in the 19th century (they see him as a peasant) actually had his own thoughts and was tolerant.

My little bit of amusement from Jeremy Vine today, just before I switched him off.
Apparently he had cycled to his mum’s in the wind and the rain and had got soaked. He had then posted video on Twitter.

As one who makes his living by posing ‘Is it OK to..?’ questions almost daily that serves him right!

Jokes about the BBC’s best scientific experts being scientifically ignorant environmental activists and children are therefore confirmed. Greta phoning up the Mensa Magazine to try and get the Editor sacked is also probably true, as is the rumour that scientists have received emails from BBC Weathermen complain about the BBC using thick and scientifically ignorant extinction rebellion environmental activists to train the BBC’s meteorologists about the latest Green propaganda on alarmism.
According to Computer models using the Arrhenius hypothesis, the atmosphere six miles above the surface would warm at twice the rate of the surface temperature increasing extreme weather events such as droughts and reducing extreme weather events such as hurricanes. But the “rat in the barrel” Alarmism needed by Extinction Rebellion means that even if what science is known contradicts the core of their belief system, the BBC brings in these morons to train its scientifically qualified staff. This must be the type of reverse training that scientists are getting from child environmental activists.
I have also read that the Tory government have kicked scientists in the teeth by replacing the role of science in a democracy with environmental alarmism in a Citizens Assembly.

Hitler and the Nazis seemed to have absolute certainty combined with ignorance of the situation outside of the bunker. Greta and the BBC seem to have absolute certainty combined with ignorance of the science behind their beliefs. They all seem to blame the Russians and Jews for their predicament inside the bunker. So it could end at midnight on 31 December 2027 with Greta committing suicide while in Room 101 at Broadcasting House, and Lord Haw-Haw Hall being hung for High Treason.

Buzz words and phrases.
Deliberate misuse of language seems to be a common ploy used by the bBC et. al to skew basic facts on a variety of subjects (otherwise known as lying).
Think of all the misused phrases associated with Brexit, e.g. ‘cliff-edge’.
One that has been resurrected, which really irritates me, is ‘evidence-led’ – whereby any opinion the left hold is purportedly supported by genuine evidence (fact) and therefore incontrovertible. Hence ‘the science is settled’.

Sadly Oaknash you’ll be disappointed because Ms Willoughby has spent the last couple of years doing what any self respecting daytime/magazine format presenter worth their salt does. Namely empowering women to embrace and be proud, rather than ashamed, of their size, lumps and bumps as they career towards an early death from cardiovascular issues brought about by their sedentary 21st Century lifestyle…… Whilst herself slimming down from what I estimate was a size 14-16 to her current 10-8. And her ample bosom has taken a disproportionate hit in terms of inches lost. To our shame let’s be honest, her unique selling point was her cleavage, so why she continues to hang around after losing the only thing our inner schoolboy watched her for is inexplicable……unless she’s got something on Schofield too!

The BBC et al have to accept much of the blame for the continual introduction of Men and Women homosexual issues. I really don’t want to know one way of the other !

Tarien, I agree with you and your wife. There have always been homosexuals and lesbians, and lived their lives the same as the rest of us, – with no need to publicise it. Now coming out as gay, is worthy of a medal !
Its now been said that Schofield has timed his coming out as a ‘reset’, because of the all the negative press he’s been getting with colleagues reporting of a toxic working environment created by him behind the scenes of This Morning. Eammon Holmes and wife were pushed onto the set to give him a hug, and they were amongst the more vocal of his antics. The silence is deafening from Amanda Holden who also criticised his behaviour. Now he is rebooted as the golden boy once more. Great damage limitation !

I’m watching BBC London.
The BBC is aghast. Sob. A man is to be deported tomorrow. Sob. Hankies. He is being sent to Jamaica. Sob. Because he was convicted of a robbery about ten years ago. But he came to this country aged 5 and so has no memory of Jamaica. And, sob, he is married with a child.
This was the headline news.
The BBC clearly want him to stay, citing the imminent issue of a ‘Windrush’ report.
Questions not asked by the BBC. Why has he been here ever since his conviction. Why was he not deported immediately after the end of his sentence.

Sluff -This is how the left (and I include politicians such as Bojo, may and Cameron as left) operate.
For years they toil hard to hide the real figure and effects of immigration (step forward the BBC) and make it difficult through law, rules and limited funding for the authorities to actually do their job (re Bojos recent agreement to reduce the amount of income a migrant is offered to access the UK or various “human rights” legislation)
Then for the few that through their own laziness or stupidity find themselves in a situation where they are facing deportation they look for an excuse/sob story to prevent justice happening. Sometimes they even manage to get members of the public to do their dirty work.

BBC wrote the article but didn’t elaborate on the extent of the ‘greening’ –
HS2: Six reasons why the rail route is so expensive:
The track is effectively below ground with banks each side –
“Cuttings reduce the impact of the line on the surrounding countryside. There are also 25 miles of tunnels on the first phase of the project. The longest (10 miles) and deepest tunnel (90 metres at the deepest point) will go underneath the Chilterns. And there are 12 miles of viaducts. A two mile viaduct in the Colne Valley in Buckinghamshire will be the longest in the country.

Another nothing-to-do-with-islam terrorist, who planned to attack a ‘pride’ event.
He had other plans too:
“Chowdhury was nothing if not prepared for martyrdom.
He’d collected knives for an attack, looked into firearms training and even made a list of what he was going to do when he got to heaven.
Top of the list wasn’t meeting his maker, though. It was a tour of the palace he assumed he would be given.
Second on the unmarried chicken shop worker’s list was to meet and consummate his relationship with 72 wives.
Only later – seventh on the list – would he find time to meet God; and his 10th task of life in the hereafter was “choose quests to embark on”.
Mohiussunnath – or Musa – Chowdhury was obsessive about quests in which he played the part of a heroic martyr doing God’s work on earth.”
All straight out of the quran, but somehow NTDWI.

But should it be necessary to flee our own countries?

Certainly in Germany, there are hardly any rural areas untouched, due to Merkel.
But even she may be on the way out. Her appointed successor (very democratic!) AKK, has resigned as party leader. Thuringia has thrown up huge ructions, due to Merkel having forced the elected liberal PM out, as she wanted the red/green coalition there to continue. My feeling is that if Trump gets re-elected, Merkel is a goner.
But it may be too late, when she goes. Ditto for us, when finally someone decides on proper border controls.

Today at around 0745 we had a feature on the campaign to preserve an old cottage in Dungeness, the one-time home of one Derek Jarman, a distinctly non-mainstream arty film maker but crucially ‘gay activist’ (their words) who died of HIV/Aids some 25 plus years ago. So….primetime BBC news material.
Can you imagine the uproar if there was a campaign to protect a dwelling because of the owner’s advocacy of heterosexuality? Can you imagine the BBC featuring it as such? No, me neither.
Is Toady now sponsored by Stonewall?

I was hoping our romanian beeg eeshoo seller would have b’ggered off home after Jan 31, there were two days last week without being harrassed by her, but no such luck shes back again, I understand if she can sell a beeg eeshoo for £1.50 she has full rights to our benefit system
I was tempted to debate the matter with her but she was busy on her apple iphone

Contemplating climate chaos and weather weirding, can I have a guarantee that so long as we cripple our ecomony with sky high energy costs then I will never again have to wake up to my dustbin lid having blown into my neighbour’s front garden?

No #CCBGB here.
Even got Patricia Arquette first, in true luvvie mode.
It seems that anywhere a Native American keeled over can become a burial site. And if creating a border, having a big hole seems a security issue.
Every time I visit Singapore it is interesting to note how an HDB estate has sprung up where there used to be a cemetery.

Rewriting history, that sounds insidious, anyone with an ounce of common sense can study history from many perspectives, but of course those at the bbc are nor what one might call ” fully educated” I was talking with a physics student a while ago, you are either right or wrong in physics at that level, but never wrong in many of the qualifications achieved by our woke generation, if you are good at arguing

“Women Rewriting History ” obviously when the history was originally written…..they didn’t know what they were writing about !
Of course History shows us that those that won a War wrote their version of it and there lies the problem.

So as I said with a little effort one can study WW2 from a german and japanese perspective and as we can see, the invaded native americans opinions are available also
I think the key word is “effort”, and first person narrative is also useful, my “ex” father in law was of the Windrush immigrants and he had (sadly passed last year) nothing but good words to say about his life here, and he most certainly was not one to “mince his words” of course his massive talent as a cricketer probably helped his reception in the village he spent his life in
No doubt his history would be “rewritten” by the bbc racists
RIP Fred

And Italian WW2 technology is an oft overlooked hotbed of information, tanks with one forward gear and three reverse, I am still waiting for Wheeler Dealers to get hold of one of them, but I have a suspicion they were all acquired by Saddams elite republican guard

JHB over on Talk Radio banging on about how these potential deportees were “brought here as children” and “brought up in Britain” and may “consider themselves British”…
NO Julia, they are not British they could have applied for British citizenship, but they didn’t. If I put a puppy dog in a stable it will grow up as a dog and not a horse!

The deportation of foreign criminals is another body blow this week for the BBC. The law now needs to be amended to ensure that anyone who acquired British citizenship (i.e. is not a natural-born British citizen) and who subsequently commits a crime resulting in a custodial sentence of 12 months or more, automatically loses that citizenship and becomes eligible for deportation. The plane which flew the criminals back to their homeland this morning did not have many passengers – that’s bad for the environment and inexcusable given the large number of candidates available (come on BBC, where’s your green credentials today?). If the destination country is a recipient of British ‘Foreign Aid’, the cost of the flights and the imprisonment costs should be deducted from it.

Terrible, they should all be aloud to stay.
An idea, how about we could house them in the beeb offices, with the 450 news staff going they will have loads of space. beeb could do daily follow up reports on how the drugs dealers are getting on!

TOADY Watch #1 – No (CO2) Questions Asked
Here’s a surprise. Precious documents (I assume originals and not facsimiles – Martha did not ask) from the National Archive are to be taken around the UK and shown to children in schools and peepil in comoonihies. No questions asked about the CO2 expended in this enterprise. Are we not meant to be sometime soon, as a nation, Carbon Net Zero? A question not asked by Martha?
It is quite strange how that notorious Global Warming and Climate Change is there one minute at the BBC and then disappears the next. Most peculiar.
Is it really a good idea to let children handle these documents? Really? Anthony Seldon thinks its a wonderful idea; all that 21st century acid and grease and stickinesses and snot put onto these historical documents.
Will the children be made to wear archivists white cotton gloves and face masks? Martha did not ask. Probably not, it might offend their human rights. “Miss. Miss! Please Miss, these gloves don’t fit me. I can’t wear them, Miss.”

As an aside, I am astounded that the BBC, who are very anti CO2, allow two antiquey persons to charge all around the countryside every day, in an old CO2 spewing vehicle, and the odd circuitous routes that they choose to drive along in order to visit antique emporia and auctions…

A Life Misleading
Jim Al-Kahlili (“great name, wonderful name – let’s make great chemicals great again”) starts off with his introduction of Prof Polina Bayvel suggesting that she pioneered optical cable science in the UK. In fact, he implies she invented it from the lab she opened in the mid-1990s.
Not so.
I was visiting a building in central London in the 1970s and 1980s to meet a friend for lunch and he was explaining how some of his colleagues were pioneering optical fibres and trying to convince a new Government to fit optical cabling alongside all the railway lines in the UK. Good old British Post Office and British Telecom!
(Had the then Government really listened to the people at BT, we could have rolled out a 5G optical fibre network in the UK many years ago!)
As you listen to the programme the good Prof gives a rather more honest view of the history of optical fibres than that of the deceptive BBC and Jim Alkili. I found myself wondering whether Jim was trying to win some BBC Bonus Points for ‘bigging up a wimmin’ and a wimmin in science, too. Double points for that. Probably.
Programme is still very interesting, despite the BBC attempt at deception. A highly recommended listen.

Shouldn’t have such a thing as the Supreme Court, so deceptively brought into function by T Blair when PM-look at the mess they made of the prorogue issue? Definitely not needed, therefore the necessity to alter the Supreme Court Premises can be negated and with such the enormous cost the tax payer would be asked to fund.
