Can anyone tell me if the News Quiz had any reference to the Greta Thunberg gathering at Bristol today ?
Early in the day the Daily Mail was claiming a crowd of 30,000 and I think it was the BBC 1 6pm news where they said 15,000. I assume that was double the real number, so about 7,500 (there was a lot of careful photos to maximise the numbers). I notice a significant number of grey haired and bald ones, so not all school children) but we were told the organisers were pleased how the day went.
How much is the overspill in the carpark at the giant Trump rally tonight ?

.. anthem seems just beginning
crowd shot clip
I have a long list of people whom I wish the media would not give the oxygen of publicity to, because I’m heartily sick of them. Top of the list for over a decade has been the awful Beckhams and their offspring (whom I’m sure must be quite nice kids, but the over exposure is grating), and now Greta Bumbag has found her place on it too.
The Duke & Duchess of Markle have been granted a position – and I’m sure that Harry must take comfort that David Beckham has pronounced his PRIDE in how Harry has stepped back from royal duties, whilst Helen Mirren applauds Meghan for going her own way. Dear God, only pathetic slebs would give such brown nose comments, knowing that they want to be in favour next time they bump into this couple on the social circuit !
The kids in Bristol seemed somewhat in awe of Greta, which is worrying, as they’ve lost a day at school, led on no doubt by gullible teachers, and may now be wondering if their parents will get fined for keeping them away from their lessons. So that’s another few quid off their mobile allowance.
If the parents have any backbone, they’ll kick up a fuss, but to think that such a poor display of twonk-fannery on subjects that kids just don’t understand is utterly ridiculous!
That silly little foreign kid should be kept well away from anything to do with what her parents think or do, and go and get some qualifications for a proper life.
And I self-moderated my thoughts on the ‘Sparkles’, Brissles…
She should be kept away from the country on grounds of causing disruption to the nation.Certain people are banned from Britain because of their political views or activities and what she is doing is encouraging people to commit an offense in my book that’s enough to deny her entry!
Whatever happened to kids hero worshipping pop stars and turning their bedrooms into a shrine to them ? At least that was normal ! Now we have this Scandinavian Pied Piper with a scary face whipping up hysteria in children. Think of fire and brimstone evangelists in the bible belt of America, and she is no different.
Funny how parents ferry their offspring back and forwards to school less than half a mile away for fear of stranger danger, yet its ok for them to bunk off school and bugger off alone to the big city to hear their hero speak.
….and I have yet to hear a single cogent arguement from Greta Thunberg about the science involved – all I have ever heard in all of the clips and ‘interviews’ I’ve seen and heard are platitudes, slogans, faux anger and constant railing and threats against anyone who does not agree with her – which is almost impossible anyway, since she really has no coherent points to make that anyone might argue with…… but hey, a horde of 10-year-olds and their ‘mentors’ chanting out their support for a particular BBC meme – what’s not to like, eh ?
Now, if someone in that crowd was a carrier of the Coronavirus, want to guess who will get the blame for any spread of the disease ? Hint – it won’t be any of them.
Humanity is regressing…
When will they suggest a climate ‘window tax’ ?
What about some sacrificial offerings to pacify the climate gods?
1 of 8e9, the sacrifices have already been made: beautiful landscapes and seascapes now blighted by the blessed windmills. Some people even made pilgrimages to the site of the wind farms in early days.
I think that the people behind Greta have got their ideas from the Hitler Youth. So I have studied the subject and produced my conclusions. See below.
Members of the Climate Youth are viewed as ensuring the future of Environmental Activism and are indoctrinated in Progressive ideology, especially alarmism. The Climate Youth have appropriated many of the activities of the Hitler Youth. The aim is to instil the motivation that would enable its members to fight faithfully for Greenpeace. There is greater emphasis on fear and paranoia than on academic study. Sacrifice for the cause is inculcated into their training. Many members of the Climate Youth movement are chosen by Al Gore and indoctrinated in his Climate Leadership Corps. The Education and training programs for the Climate Youth are provided by a network of taxpayer funded environmental charities and are designed to undermine the teaching of Mathematics, Physics and Agriculture in Schools. Their training is also aimed at the obliteration of the scientific method and the mocking of Jewish Professors of Atmospheric Physics such as Richard Lindzen as well as the need to burn books about Meteorology and Solar Astronomy.
Scientists say that the best known cure for this ideology in any Declimatization process, is to train Greta to understand the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Wonderfully put Brissles-expect we can all add another selection of similar offensive bodies with a nauseating front that is thrown at us day after day. Hi ho !

I find Nish Kumar irritating as Chair and the whole thing is now much too scripted (now totally scripted?) and very, very, predictable. The canned … ahem …. adjusted laughter is so obvious as to be intrusive. The BBC have managed to kill it for me.

Interesting to see ‘the weather’ on bbbc last evening.
What’shername mentioned the jet stream as the culprit for all the rain we’re getting, where cold air meets warm air etc.
The graphic was pretty damning though, showing so much freezing cold air to the North, and the warm stuff where it normally is, in the South.
I thought that the Arctic was supposed to be warmer now, but perhaps I’ve watched too much Horrobin in the past…
Why can’t they make their blasted minds up!
Scrobie, think I have it.
The BBC don’t do science but they do do* Climate Change. Therefore our planet no longer has winter and summer and spring and autumn seasons inverted over the hemispheres.
When the Beeboids & other scientists that they travel with visit the Arctic in summer, the ice is melting but there is no summer, the Climate has Changed. When they visit the Antarctic in summer, the ice is melting and you can get a tan (or windburn) on the ice in 24 hour sunshine but it is not summer because the Climate has Changed. The fact that these two events are about six months apart is irrelevant to the BBC ‘because the signs (Melvin Bragg pronunciation) is settled’ – 97.5% of all scientists agree – that the Climate has Changed due to Anthropogenic Global Warming.
My PhD should now be in the post.
* I have been longing for BBC reform for almost a decade but I’m now reaching the point of wishing Dodo Emulation upon them.
According to my experience. 97.5% of all scientists agree that they have not been asked by any known Polling Organisation about what they think on the subject. While the other 2.5% have phoned up a Polling Organisation to complain about this.
However it is a well known fact that 86% of the BBC’s best scientific experts do not have any scientific qualifications.
Yes, Richard, I’ve never been asked what I think about AGW or CC but then I had a proper science education at school. I was regularly taught by a Physics teacher to mistrust scientists who made massive definitive and dogmatic claims using absolutes. That’s why the alarm bells were clanging for me on Thursday listening to In Our Time and that fossilised American Prof. He was certain that horses and grass never existed while the planet teemed with wildlife.
The sceptic from Norfolk sitting on my shoulder said “Yeaher, roight?” quite firmly in my ear.
You’ve done it again Up2snuff.
It would seem that your Physics teacher didn’t do a very good job of teaching you about evolution.
Piku, you should read my posts and what Darwin wrote about evolution more carefully. Whether you understand them, of course, will be another matter.
Spoken by Macbeth, Macbeth Act 2 Scene 1
‘Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.’
The trademark BBC white hands are still on the hilt of the dagger in the knifecrime library photo… but what’s this headline…?
‘Knife offenders lack male role models, says senior police officer’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51682870
The word sticks in the liberal craw but let me help them. By male role model what they would like to say is FATHERS.
The BBC quote a top (female) cop who, for once, speaks some sense: “…it was “too easy” to blame police cuts, social media and drugs.”
Don’t expect a sudden and proper rethink by the liberal media, this glimmer of light is as rare as a hen’s tooth. Most public policy will still in effect attack the family but at least someone spoke up.

BBC Weather
Read past all the jargon: – Storm Jorge (why hasn’t it been named Ellen?); Weather Warnings; Yellow Warnings
The impassioned yearning for superlatives: – wettest February on record?
And what do we really have here in the UK? – rain and blustery winds.
Climate Change?
Or climate as per bloody usual.
AISI, good question. Apparently the Spanish use a different alphabet but they got the naming opportunity because it is shared around the EU … er, beg pardon …. umhh .. er.. Europe to show BBC ….. er, beg pardon again …. umhh .. er.. solidarity with the EU. Doh! No, sorry. Europe, I mean.

TOADY WATCH #1 – Can I believe my ears #1 ?
Think I listened to the whole programme this a.m… It was presented by Nick in London and Mishal in Paris, who had gone to report on the riot and serious fire there at the Gare de Lyon station last night.
Or not.
No mention as I recall. All the fuss about Roman Polanski getting an award for some film of his. Is he still alive? Does he still make films? Really? At his age?
And a revealing conversation with Asia Bibby, the Pakistani Christian who was arrested for supposedly defaming Islam and Mohammed. Revealing? Yes. Little bits of BBC Agenda were on show. 🙂
To my astonishment the persecution of Christians was mentioned on R4 Toady, this morning. I could hardly believe my ears! It was so quick you would have missed it if you hadn’t been listening carefully.
Robinson and Sergeant ended the show with a good old giggle at the silliness of ms T, because it turned out she planned he wardrobe.
There was much haughty giggling by these two ‘presenters’, who obviously feel they’re far too superior to do anything that someone else could possibly find amusing in a pathetic sort of way.
fnw, you beat me to it … sort of ….. but nevertheless
TOADY Watch #2 – Can I believe my ears #2 ?
After Mishal’s interview with Asia Bibby, she talks with Rt. Rev. Philip Mounstephen Bishop of Truro, who prepared a report for Jeremy Hunt MP when he was Foreign Secretary. Did I really hear Bishop Philip describe Islam as ‘right wing’ and did I really hear Mishal not immediately leap in to defend Islam?
Gromit-type paw in ear, wiggle said paw vigourously-moment.
Something odd is going on at the moment. Asia Bibi interview on the home page… and this morning a feature about a vegetarian who regained his health by going back to meat after 25 years.
What next… women with afros face no more struggles in life than people with other types of hairdo?
\\Greta Thunberg Bristol climate strike: ‘The world is on fire’//
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-51663632
Mass child hysteria or kids and teachers getting a day off ?
Note : No Strikes on Saturday .
The insane thing about Greta’s comments are that she was telling us “the world is in fire” while wearing plastic water proofs and standing in the pissing rain.
Her adoring followers were all similarly attired, looking soggy and slightly barking and hanging onto sodden and flapping umbrellas.
“The world is on fire!”
And did you see that area of grass when they had left? Just a rectangle of glutinous mud.
These are the sorts of thoughts they’d have inflicted on Winston Smith when he was dragged into Room 101.
The planet is burning, the earth is dying, the world is on fire!
Um, no…
Can you imagine the reaction from a few burley Australian males if she had said that in Australia amidst all the bush fires !
TOADY WATCH #3 – Can I believe my ears #3 ?
Snuffy’s hunch appears to be correct. The programme mentions briefly but also again in the newspaper review that the reason for Sajid Javid’s departure from post as Chancellor of The Exchequer was down to a disagreement with PM on tax policy. Am a little surprised that it was over a cut in basic rate tax but am happy for any sinner who repenteth.* The BBC do not understand that the Chancellor is always subject – as No.2 – to the PM who is First Lord of The Treasury.
(* Rewind to Osborne Budget no. 1 or 2 where the top rate of income tax was cut and Javid was sent out to explain/make excuses to the public, including on BBC R4 Any Questions. It was said and assumed at the time that Javid as arch-Thatcherite and Secretary to The Treasury had been a prime driver behind that reduction in top rate Income Tax.)
Appeal to Boris… please let’s stay out of this mess – there’s no upside for us here in the UK
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-51678462
‘Syria war: Turkey lets refugees exit towards Europe’
‘Turkey’s communications chief said the country had not received enough support in hosting millions of Syrian refugees.’
[the words bribery, hostages and ransoms spring to mind]
‘Its decision followed a deadly attack on Turkish troops by Syrian government forces in northern Syria.’
[Turkish troops killed within Syrian territory]
‘Greece and Bulgaria – which border Turkey – have sent reinforcements to prevent people entering. Greek police have been deterring attempts to cross the border with tear gas, reports say.’
[Wait a minute, the last Greek police tear gas incident we saw was because the Greek governement wanted to build bigger migrant camps and the locals objected – two questions: do the BBC think we have a goldfish memory?; and did the EU know this new wave was coming?]
‘Russia says the Turkish troops were attacked while operating alongside jihadist fighters.’
[This coild be true. Don’t expect the BBC to confirm it for us]
So thank goodness we’re out of the EU and don’t listen to anyone telling you this is our problem.
Asiseeit
The problem is that the warm and fuzzy brigade will be on their high moral horse wanting to import more bits of the third world using other peoples money and resources .
Charity and care begins at home . UK foreign policy should just be ‘ what’s in it for us – in practical terms ?’
Not some notional moral superiority which doesn’t improve the lot of those who need elderly social care ….
TOADY WATCH #4 – Can I believe my ears #4 – do I really need to ask ?
The BBC obviously do not like Boris Johnson. They do not like him as a campaigner for a successful Leave vote in the EU Referendum. They do not like him as Prime Minister of a Conservative Party Government with a majority. They will do anything to attack him. Including with the supposition that Bojo actually converted Mrs Thatcher as Prime Minister from EEC enthusiast into being anti-EEC.
Oh yeah? Thatcher was a EUrosceptic from the outset. The only reason she championed the Single Market was that she wanted to rub Ted Heath’s nose in the fact that by so doing, she was emphasising the then EEC’s commitment to building a Federal European State. And Ted Heath’s part in sucking us into the Grand Plan without asking the nation if it wanted that.
The programme this morning got in several digs at the PM. OK, to be fair, he is his own worst enemy and not getting out to visit flooded areas was a big Grenfell-type error. But it does appear already, that for the next four years and maybe beyond that, we will have to put up with these Trump-like BBC digs at our PM.
The entitled and poorly done by Mr Rutnam.
And I note the incredulity of the BBC when asked to believe public servants about the behaviour of a certain Mr Bercow, compared to the coverage and complete acceptance of this other public servant when talking about Pritti Patel.
Wonder what the difference is ?
I hope this character doesn’t think he’s going to get much public sympathy or interest . Just another swamp dweller. And people will remember that the top of the civil service did its best to stop Brexit .
I wonder if he has ‘issues ‘ with lady politicians of a non left non white character . And going public is beyond the pale . Maybe the institutional corruption of giving gongs like knighthoods to people like him just because he gets a top well pensioned job will come to an end …. unlike my since these people are pretty self serving ….
And why was he offered public money to go away ?
Never a shortage of journos, lawyers , politicians or civil servants .
Drain the swamp .
If I was inclined I’d check this characters CV and somewhere in it Tony Blair will feature – I’d bet …..
Refugees – well lots of young men from Afghanistan, are on the march again out of Turkey toward the European border. The usual platitudes by journos that “women and children are suffering from the cold”. This time they’ve been stopped at the Greek border by tear gas. Lets see how Europe deals with this latest onslaught.
The EU will blackmail member states to accept quotas of rapefugees. A few, like the heroic Eastern European countries, will resist, to much tutting by Al-beeb. The rest will meekly acquiesce, thereby stoking further unrest and eventually violent revolutions.
Guido reports that India and China have agreed to build 320 yes 320 airports in the next 10 years . If that is true isn’t that great news?
All those BBC reporters who can get air miles visiting the airports as they are built . I hope it’s true .
Just to follow up on the above comment – do you ever wonder about the mentality of the western world when the reality is that millions of people in developing countries will be increasing all of the things which greens claim to negatively change the climate .
What would the greens propose ? Stopping those people from getting a decent way of life ? Electricity and clean running water and an iPhone ?
And stopping a runway being built is going to reduce Climate change ? Nonsense .
https://www.thegwpf.com/forget-heathrow-china-and-india-to-build-320-new-airports/
Thank you Goat . I was suspicious of the number when I read it but it seems real . If the Chinese cAn build a hospital in 10? Days I don’t think they’ll be buried in the courts with appeals and appeals until development is stopped – as happens in the UK .
The likes of China and India must just laugh at the frankly insane Western worlds self flagellation over economic activity .
What will Greta and her supporters say?
I can only think that building 320 new airports must be a planned invasion by the Chinese to spread their people throughout the world as thickly as they can-seriously I see danger signals here-the Japenese were visiting Malaya/Singapore a few years before WW2, taking photos of everything they saw, in preperation for their invasion. My wife’s family were living in Singapore during this time and indeed managed to escape by boat before the Japs landed. No doubt in those peoples minds that those Jap tourists were under orders to photo everything in anticipation. Worth considering as to what the Chinese policy might be?
This man gets my vote. Imagine the interview on Newsnight!
Lucky no one says anything about sinking boats coming across the Channel eh ?
Fed up with the endless climate change BS on the BBC I thought I’d take a quick gander at Sky News.
They were showing us the week’s high lights. One of these was an interview with old pudge bucket, Adam Boulton and “The Chimp Woman” Jane Goodall.
Of course we had to suffer the usual “the planet is going to Hell in a handcart” stuff, but then came a really odd and I think absolutely objectionable question from old the pudgster.
He asked Goodall “What sort of primate do you see Boris Johnson as? He seems rather chimp like to me”
Goodall smirks and replies, having a dig at both Boris and Trump. “Well, quite honestly, comparing Boris or Trump to a chimp is a little insulting to the chimp.” Snidey and self congratulatory smug smirks all round.
Now, just for a second, can you imagine a similar question and response if they were discussing President Obama? No, neither can I. And what about David Lammy or, God forbid, Diane bleedin’ Abbott.
Boulton’s fat arse would be out the door so quick there’d be skid marks on the tarmac.
News readers have been sacked for quoting Shakespeare, but old lard arse can compare our PM to a chimpanzee and keep his position.
I don’t think I’d mind quite so much if old fat boy “Baboon Boulton” looked more like George Clooney.
Perhaps I need to go to Specsavers…

No doubt they will extend the same courtesy to TR for his next public appearance.
Meanwhile our navy and coastguard continue to ferry migrants across the seas.
Perhaps we should rename all our security forces as the Combined UK Taxi Services. In May 1940 it’s the Germans our Navy would have been ferrying over from Dunkirk.
Finally the beeb are delighted to announce that Turkey has ‘released’ thousands more invaders to come to the EU. Perhaps the RAF could pick them up from Turkey and cut out a lot of middlemen.

Maybe, because of all the different people we now have in the UK, they should call them the ‘Combined United Nations Taxi Service’

I guess that due to storms this weekend holding up the invasion, Her Majesty’s Royal Navy will just have to dock in French ports to aid embarkation.
Imagine, the Deck Officer calling out, ‘Women and Children first’. But seeing no response to that instruction, he/she/it beckons the mob as depicted in the photo above.
Where are the women and children who were repeatedly bombed and need to get out?
Oops. I forgot. These are the heroic rebel soldiers who fought for an Islamic Syria with EU and UK support. Watch out, these heroes will soon be here, having been promised that the law will be applied with understanding
Don’t worry, they’ll be bringing over the women and children once they’re nicely settled in UK with lifelong benefits. And cousins, and second cousins twice removed, which is basically the whole village.

Then if someone not approved by the state like Tommy starts to speak, the plain clothed officers are under instructions to turn violent. Then the uniformed officers are instructed to move in and arrest the speaker for inciting violence. It explains the reason why liberals are enthusiastic for laws on incitement.

The other matter with regard to TR is that in practice he can no longer speak at meetings in the UK because the collective State( and those groups such as Muslims and others which the State approve of ) is after him – see the political show trial which sent him to prison .
Now I am no great fan of TR but believe he has a right to speak and be listened to . But once he is labelled as a target the State will just keep after him with eager state officials gagging to arrest or destroy him for their own career gain .
Very sad and very hard to turn around .
Tommy appears to have joined up with Carl Benjamin and Matt O’Connor (Fathers4Justice) to form https://heartsofoak.org described as a new free speech populist Alliance.
A quiet, almost unpublicised campaign of mass murder continues unabated, apparently because the victims are almost exclusively white.
There have been 15 farm attacks in South Africa in January and 21 in February 2020. There have been 8 farm murders so far in February alone. In 2019 there were 552 farm attacks, a 27% increase on 2018, reports ‘South Africa Today’ News 1425.
A large number of these murders are of the most brutal kind and frequently involve torture.
Many hundreds of farmers and their employees have been murdered since SA was handed over to ANC rule in 1994. One can’t help feeling that a campaign to ‘drive the farmers from the land’, similar to the Zimbabwe pattern, is in progress.
Astonishingly, (or perhaps not) the beeb and other news media have shown no interest in this situation, and there is no sign that they are going to report on it. On the contrary, the ANC narrative -that the land was ‘stolen’ by the white farmers, has had more traction in the ‘liberal’ news media in the West. Beeb are always very interested in exposing real or imagined racism worldwide, but the inherently racist dimension of this mass crime has been ignored by them.
But then, there also seems to have been little interest on the part of the SA Police to take any serious prevention and protection measures.

Maybe they yet get what draining the swamp means…
There is no doubt in my mind that this is a co-ordinated ‘establishment’ attack on the government by the usual suspects (and funded by the usual suspects). The bBC are part of that establishment. I see parallels between LK’s piece and a series of tweets put out by @Keir_Starmer at almost exactly the same time. As Jeff Taylor says this is panning out to be a battle over who actually runs the country – the civil service or elected politicians.
Priti Patel is a major target. The Home office has always been difficult to manage and obstruction by the civil servants a way of life. Boris must back her. The thing to remember is that despite the BBc and the Guardian 99% of voters could not care less about a civil servant’s resignation. What they want is immigration controlled and the police to do their job. Particularly the latter.
When trying to impose change on a resistant organisation , in this case the civil service, some of the key leaders of the resistance have to be removed in order to show the rest that resistance is a bad career move. This is more or less analogous with the resistance that Donald Trump has consistently met in the USA whist engaged on swamp draining.
On both sides of the Atlantic democratically elected governments are trying to implement the far reaching changes promised in their campaigns and are being resisted by the system or machinery of government allied with the MSM. I think that we in the UK are in for a prolonged period of resistance from the civil service and the squealing will rise to a crescendo when the BBC is in the frame for change. But just as with Brexit the question ordinary folks have to keep asking themselves is ‘who governs the country’, the government we elected or the permanent bureaucracy with their liberal leftist bias? Forcing the democratic will of the people onto these privileged mandarins will not be easy but democracy dictates it must be done.
BBC Web-site Watch #1
For the last 20 or 25 years or so, maybe 30 even, the BBC have been refering to females in film and theatre acting roles as actors. I have bridled against this. For me, a male actor is an actor. A female in similar work is an actress. The distinction was made long ago.
It is quite a surprise to find the BBC suddenly reverting back to refering to females in that profession as actresses. See BBC Home Page, scroll down to Entertainment News on left hand side of page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/
Why do you think that is?

News just in from Sadiq Khan’s London – that wonderfully open to the world, socially liberal, vibrant, diverse, Remain voting, public sector-loving, multi-what’sname community…
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/boris-buses-back-door-boarding-ban-to-stop-fare-dodgers-a4331146.html
‘Passengers are to be banned from boarding through the middle and rear doors of the “Boris bus” to prevent fare-dodging.’
‘Fare evasion costs Transport for London £3.6 million a year, double that on routes with front-door boarding.’
If you ask me it’s a symptom of a severe breakdown in trust and social cohesion. A sign not so much of a community as a set of competing selfish mutually distrustful communities thrown together.
I’ve seen a number of fare dodgers leaping over tube barriers over the years, all of them enrichers.
The Metropolitan Police saw Jean Charles da Silva e de Menezes jump over a barrier so they shot him.
Later it turned out that he was sitting on a train with a ticket.
The “boris” buses supposedly had a hop-on, hop-off door at the back. Not only is that door usually shut, but the very design of it is dangerous: on the Routemasters and those before them the platform of the rear entrance extended right round the back, so if the bus was still moving you could still get on or off. On these you would be taking your life in your hands.
Banania, quite right. Those Boris buses rather took after the Mayor himself in that they were slightly overweight in the size dimensions. If anything slows London and other cities and towns to a halt, then it is buses that are too big when compared to the good old Routemaster. In addition, on many modern Dennis buses, the front overhang causes problems on tight corners. The UK Government should have got Alec Issigonis to design a decent UK City bus before he popped his clogs in the late 1980s.
I wonder if the BBC will report on the death of Freeman Dyson, world renowned theoretical physicist and climate change sceptic.
I doubt it – he was a scientist, not an activist. But the state broadcaster ought to say something about this man’s contribution to science.
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/02/freeman-dyson-legendary-theoretical-physicist-dies-at-96/
He famously wrote a paper that if carbon was responsible for warming than simply planting a trillion trees would solve the problem.
But as you say, the BBC have had to keep him and just about all scientists off the screen. Still that leaves plenty of air time for ‘activists’ and children who think the world will end in 5 years time.
for past week
“Your search – site:bbc.com “Freeman Dyson”, – did not match any documents. “
Aw please, BBC. For god sake can we have entertainment without the constant agenda FFS!
Casualty. Nasty white man turns away his gay blind date because he isn’t white enough.
Lesbian mixed race couple (yes both biological females) having a baby!
I’m sick of all this now it’s just not representative of real life outside of the metro bubble.

TV Licence – value for money?
Too true. I find that increasingly I simply can’t watch most contemporary tv programmes or films come to that because they are actually only ‘vehicles’ for overt political propaganda. In the past authors , directors and playwrights made any political points subtly , winding them into the plot naturally. Today the programmes and films have the propaganda plastered front and centre with the plot secondary. Unwatchable.
Gary Lineker the #BeKind guy
The original Lineker tweet from above that reply was deleted afterwards.
so here is a copy
As other posters have noticed, BBC and rest of MSM after failing to get Boris, now turn on his ministers.Priti Patel at the moment,next will either be Health Minister over coronavirus,followed by Environment Minister over flooding.It really is so predictable and boring.

Anyone out there have some evidence of Al Beeb’s right-wing or anti-brexit bias ?
maxicony, Piku?
So Carrie Symonds is pregnant. Did she get drunk one night ?
I’m staggered at the price of paper face masks being asked on Amazon. 6 years ago I was on holiday in Japan, (where its de rigeur to wear them outside), and I bought a few packs of 10 at around 1 yen (just over £1) per pack, – I thought they’d be useful for my craft paint spraying. Anyway I dug them out today, and wondered if I could make my fortune on Ebay !!!
Latest madness in Trans-land: “NHS gender clinic ‘should have challenged me more’ over transition.”
A trans person is taking legal action against an NHS clinic for doing whatever it was he/she/it asked them to do!
Here’s a suggestion: stop wasting the time and money of the NHS, the courts, the police and the social services, live with what nature gave you and stop the Frankenstein nonsense.
