   LIES, LIES, and MORE DAMNED LIES
   BBC 1 news this evening
   Another one of our roving reporters adding to his carbon footprint in the Antarctic reporting the fact that the waters in this part of the Antarctic are minus 2 c.
   Doesn’t say which part, but the underwater wildlife and ecosystem is threatened with destruction by the rising temperatures of the water.

   Lie 1. A “climate scientist” backs him up by stating that this ecosystem has remained the same for 2 million years and any rise in temperature will wipe it out….
   I am not a scientist, but am pretty dammed sure that the world has gone through thousands of temperature changes in that time, and this particular ecosystem has managed to evolve quite happily throughout.

   Back to Sophie at the desk…

   Lie 2.. she continues by saying that this due to the recent record breaking temperature of 20c…

   This “record temperature” was proved to have never happened. It was reported gleefully by the BBC, but they were strangely silent when it was proved to have been false..

   Been reading the comments here about the arrest of Tommy Robinson while apparently restraining an Asian man he suspected of interfering with his daughter.
   Just realised there is a small, BBC-related irony here. In the parallel universe of Monday’s EastEnders, black teenager Keegan (well he’s half black, at least) tackled a smirking white burglar, who had also managed to nick the wedding ring off Tiff’s (Keegan’s new wife) finger. While the two are scuffling on the ground, the police turn up – and arrest Keegan, allowing white guy to escape. “It’s just the way it is, Son!” says Keegan’s dad. Just to pile on the agony of his prejudiced existence, Keegan later gets hauled away by hospital security when he feels he’s being unfairly ignored in favour of other patients. “It’s just the way it is, Dad!”
   EastEnders has been building this story for a little while, with Keegan moping about being stop-and-searched while trying to make an honest living with his fast food small business – ignoring the character’s history of theft, violence and drugs (admittedly this kind of scriptwriting amnesia is common in all soaps, which is why I really shouldn’t watch this crap).
   Evil White Males abound in EastEnders, although the recent death of Leo the Stalker has left them minus one. There’s still wife-beating lawyer Gray though!
