When virtue signalling goes bad. Like, really bad.
BBC PR is the best.
Sopel re-tweeting another lefty journo’s thoughts. Like peas in a pod !!! Happily, Emma knows the score.
Saturday night and watching Soap Box Challenge on the TV. One of the things I have enjoyed about it over the years is that it is just fun with no agenda. But one of the presenters has been changed and is now a female BAME. Her interviews are just short of ‘how do you feel?’. Pity.
I agree this was a reasonable question.
“We called 7 major police forces across the UK to ask for and understand the figures around dispersals, and fines last weekend, in order to get an understanding of whether people were listening to government guidance.
Only one, Greater Manchester [Police], shared the fact that they’d been involved in over 1,100 coronavirus breaches; that was between the 25th March and 7th April.
It’s appreciated that you shared the number of fines handed out today.
#1 Does the government or the NPCC know the national figure for breaches for arrests, and for the average size fine?
#2 Can you share those now?
#3 And also, would there be a stronger, further support for the Police to help them tackle this continuing problem if the numbers go up rather than down in the first two weeks of reporting and collating that data you mentioned previously?
It’s said that one demographic the government needs to reach is young males ..that’s why you’d include a lad’s mag site in the press conference.
Surely the Nigerian Times and Romanian Express should have been there as well.

MSM 8th April
Today, they get their wish. One mistake from Priti and we get this from BBC Jon. DISGUSTING. Pathetic little man.
Would be have tweeted this if it was Diane Abbott ???? No. Not a cat in hells chance.
#bekind hey !!!!!!!
What a hero Jon Sour-bull is
He’s got an incredible 106,000 followers
279 of them liked that SNEERING tweet … that’s 0.26%
Our these accounts that pour out this school bully type snideyness all run out of a big Labour warehouse ?
He’s only a snivelling little git, Stew, just ignore him, like normal people do.
late night typo : *Are* these accounts that pour out this school bully type snideyness
Having given up the BBC for Lent – which is now ending – have I missed anything? ????
At the next five o clock Breifing Laura Kuesenberg of the BBC will ask
Secretary of State
How many asylum seekers arrived yesterday and how many were bought in by our patrol vessels or the border force ?
Were they medically examined ? Who examined them ? If it was from the NHS what duties were they taken away from to attend these immigrants ? Did they wear the scarce PPE ? Were these immigrants tested for the Coronavirus ? How many testing kits were used ? Were any of them found to have the virus ? Those that have the virus , where are you taking them to , and who and what facilities will be used to monitor them ? Will these bogus asylum seekers be given a scarce ventilator ? Are you going to have to obtain more ventilators to cope with more clandestines coming in or lower the ration of them to the British people ?
Why don’t you show the British people , the world and these bogus asylum seekers that there is a state of emergency in this country , that everyone has to do their bit and refuse entry to those illegal migrants in Calais and around the world by ;
Telling all asylum seekers that while we have a state of emergency they will not be allowed to settle in Britain , ever .
They will be detained indefinitely , even for the rest of their lives ( unless they fess up and go back / elsewhere ) on redundant cruise ships moored in international waters far from our shores .
They will be under house arrest similar to what the British people are voluntary serving now , but not ever in Britain .
Minister , why don’t you show that this emergency is for real and get a grip on our borders ?
Or perhaps the BBC won’t ask that .
Its a week or so since i lasted posted as I really didnt see the point just lately as the BBC are doing a really good job of destroying themselves in the minds of others without any of us having to lift a finger to our keyboards.
However there had to be a “Here We Go” moment and its come its the to be expected ……..There is “emerging evidence” to suggest coronavirus is having a disproportionate impact on people who are black, Asian and minority ethnic.
So we ask ourselves do the BBC bring this to our attention and not the fact that:
1) A disproportionate amount of BME people are in prison.
2) A disproportionate amount of young BME males are murdered.
3) A disproportionate amount of BME children are not innoculated
May I suggest that a larger than average proportion of the BME community in this country think they are above the law and untouchable and not capable or willing to adhere to or follow orders or act responsibly in our advanced society.
I’m sick to death of the BBC pushing the narrative that its the (white racist) government’s fault, it isn’t, we who live in this country have a duty of care to ourselves and others. It would seem that some “communitys” apply that mantra more than others a fact substantiated by the dispropirtianly higher numbers of deaths within certain “communitys”.
My sympathys however do go out to anyone who has lost a relative or loved one to this terrible disease.
Why is it that whenever that kuentsberg woman refers to our Prime Minister, she calls him Johnson, as though he’s some little scrote who has just been found guilty of some criminal act?
She may not like him but he’s there as our elected Prime Minister and the least that this kuentsberg woman could do is show some respect for the office Mr Johnson holds.
It’s the same when they say “Trump” instead of referring to him as President Trump.
As I come out of BBC distancing – and noting how the numbers are being kicked about each day – I thought I’d share these with you – for a London Borough in the ‘Barts’ region –
Borough cases as of 11am 11th 478
Cumulative number of deaths (associated with ) covid 203
I don’t know whether these people world have died anyway .
As for those who question COVID – I now know directly some who had it , landed up on an ITU ventilator and has survived .
He describes it as being hit by a double decker bus . He is very weak from 3 weeks ago .
What’s the normal flu like being hit by?
Eddy Booth
“What’s the normal flu like being hit by?”
Like being hit by my TV when Al Beeb are broadcasting their childish transparent propaganda .
By the sound of it – eddy – a single decker bus .
Maybe a bendy bus…
Are we allowed to say ‘bent’ these days, or is the BBC banning that nice word as well?
@Fed where did this person catch Covid19 from ?
The person is someone whose job involves meeting all sorts of people all the time and since it’s London I reckon transmission is growing rapidly – irrespective of what the hospital figures say .
Having now seen – on a screen – the before and after effect – it’s not a breeze to get through .
Having now seen every Government Briefing – they really need to look at the format – and find a way to put the blame for deficiencies in the NHS in the NHS .
Medics are like soldiers – always something to moan about . There’ll never be enough kit – it’ll never all be good enough . All that preferential treatment and freebies don’t to seem to be cheering them up either .
The Tory Party won the last election by a large majority . That’s a lot of Tory voters and supporters. What I am astounded by is the lack of action and protest by the Tory Government in doing anything about Al Beeb ? What is Dominic Cummings doing ? He must watch the biased output coming from the public broadcaster. What does Oliver Dowden do in his working week ? Oh hang on wasn’t he a ‘Remainer’?
Please note I am not a Tory voter or supporter .
Unbelievable.
The biased BBC plays the race card on the Coronavirus 10 pm news.
The BBC fess up to the fact that 14% of the population are BAME. Not that you’d ever guess it was so low, given their incessant coverage of them or the appeRance of your average BBC presenter.
But BAME are 34% of coronavirus victims. Shock. Horror. Cue indignation. Apparently part of the reason is that they do not speak English!!!! But of course, no eyebrows raised by the BBC.
And interestingly an erudite BAME junior doctor suggests there may be a genetic component to this.
Just imagine if that possibility was considered for certain other behaviours and outcomes.
Surely this just proves that the NHS Diversity and Equality Managers (salary c. £50K p.a.) are doing their job properly and the money not being wasted on PPE.
Labour says …
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52255863
Coronavirus: Ethnic minorities ‘are a third’ of patients
There is “emerging evidence” to suggest coronavirus is having a disproportionate impact on people who are black, Asian and minority ethnic.
Research suggests that more than a third of patients who are critically ill in hospital with the virus are from these backgrounds.
It comes after Labour called for an urgent investigation into why these communities are more vulnerable.
…
Labour said the disproportionate number of doctors from ethnic minority backgrounds who had died from coronavirus was “deeply disturbing”.
The BBC are making a big thing out of the 19 NHS staff deaths.
Running the numbers (correct me if I am wrong)…
NHS staff: 19 deaths out of 1,500,000 NHS employees. That is one death for every 79,000 employees.
UK national average: 9,875 deaths for 68,000,000 population. That is one death for every 7000 population.
I reckon that makes working for the NHS 10 times safer than not working for the NHS. Looks like the PPE is working, what about the rest of us?
yes @Tabs about right but
“1.3 million people make up the NHS workforce”
So 2% of UK population are in the NHS workforce
(assume a UK population of 65 million
So 1% of UK population is 0.65m …. So 2% is 1.3m )
So roughly what happens to 100% of the population 1/50th happens to NHS employees
10,000 UK Covid19 deaths means that if NHS workers died at the same rate as population there’d be 200 NHS workers dead
19 is as you say a tenth of that
However Covid19 only generally kills the very old and weak
So it shouldn’t have killed 200 in a group of 1.3m under 65yo
but those doctors that died were mostly past retirement age.
New Zealand death toll has doubled again
2 days ago there was 1 death from covid-19 in New Zealand.
Yesterday the toll rose to 2
& now it’s 4.
Philip2 put a link on here to a debate between Boris and Mary Beard debating the Ancient Greek and Roman Empires and which gave the most to modern times. Mary saw the positive in the Romans for them welcoming refugees and asylum speakers. Andrew Marr chaired the meeting and knowing what was to come I could see the seeds of his antagonism towards Boris.
But it provided us with an excellent evening with a lot to think about, at an intellectual level that the BBC would never provide. I could also never imagine Khan (Boris was Mayor at the time this was recorded) or Corbyn have the intellectual ability to undertake this form of debate and take on an academic on her own subject. I would also doubt Sir Keir would be capable either.
Yeah, and look what happened to the Roman Empire…
Mobile phones are an integral part of everyday life, and it is hard to imagine a world without them. There are nevertheless health concerns, and the debate is ongoing. There is a vast body of research on the potential risks from exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields such as those emitted by mobile phones. Yet scientific opinion remains split over the possibility of a link between mobile phone radiation and health problems.
The EU 2019
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2019)635598
The Pope thinks that God is angry with us and is punishing us for not protecting the planet…
‘Pope Francis Says Pandemic Is ‘Nature’s Response’ to Human Inaction over Climate Change’
Curiously no-one at the BBC condemns him for being the spreader of fake news and mad conspiracy theories.
David Icke on the other hand is vilified for his comments on Coronavirus in particular his comments about 5G, BBC presenters adopting a derisive and dismissive tone when talking about this.
The BBC informs us that Ofcom is on the case…
‘The UK’s media watchdog has launched a formal investigation into a TV network’s broadcast of an interview with conspiracy theorist David Icke about coronavirus.
Ofcom acted after London Live screened the programme on Wednesday evening.’
OK…that’s the Ofcom that told broadcasters not to criticise 5G in relation to coronavirus….
‘British broadcasters are being warned that they face sanctions from the media regulator if they give airtime to false health advice about coronavirus.
Ofcom confirmed it was actively monitoring television and radio stations that might be broadcasting potentially harmful views about the causes and origins of Covid-19 that have “the potential to undermine people’s trust in the advice of mainstream sources of information” during the crisis.’
OK…that’s the same Ofcom whose job it is to promote 5G….
‘As the UK’s communications regulator, we have a role to play alongside Government and industry in enabling the development and rollout of 5G, and unlocking its benefits.
Ofcom shares the Government’s ambition for the UK to become a world leader in 5G. In this document we provide an update on the actions we will be taking to facilitate 5G rollout in the UK.’
Here’s a question though….does Icke connect 5G to coronavirus? No….because he thinks the coronavirus is a hoax, a ‘nightmare’ invented by powerful cult to scare us into obedient acquiescence…as we have been.
He claims 5G somehow ‘poisons’ the body and the body in response produces things called exosomes…these exosomes contain genetic material, RNA, that is actually what is being picked up by the coronavirus tests and is being renamed ‘covid19’ and presented as a lethal virus when it is in fact normal, everyday exosomes. You can see a video below this post of the doctor who touts this theory…and a video from real experts on exosomes…enjoy.
The BBC et al only mention 5G and Icke’s conspiracy theory about that…however that isn’t actually the main narrative of the video..his main idea, and one that has legs, is that the coronavirus, real or not, is being used by the 1%, that ‘cult’, to take control, a power grab of enormous size and consequence.
Could that be true? Hard to imagine China and America collaborating on such a project…so not a single worldwide conspiracy but maybe regional…each region exploiting coronavirus for their own ends.
Just look how the greens and the socialists are mobilising to take advantage….look how the BBC is trying to reframe the narrative about the coronavirus into one about equality and diversity…a new economic order is needed after this is over….
The Inequalities of Lockdown
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000h0w0
Presented by David Aaronovitch..ardent remainer and no doubt someone who will also try to argue, as others are doing, that Brexit must be stopped in response to the virus.
But let’s just rewind a bit….Icke is raising questions about the dangers of 5G…regardless of any possible connection to coronavirus surely he is justified in asking questions.
Just look at the BBC’s coverage of mobile phones….is the BBC a mad conspiracy theorist for daring to ask questions about technology and its dangers?…
1999:
Mobile phone ‘brain risk’
‘Radiation emissions from mobile phones could place users at risk of brain conditions including Alzheimer’s Disease, according to new reports.
Researchers in Sweden have found that just two minutes’ exposure to energy waves from a handset can disable a defence mechanism in the body designed to prevent harmful proteins and toxins in the blood from entering the brain.’
2005:
Should I Worry About… Mobile Phones?
‘In the 1999, the government commissioned an independent group of experts to look into the potential risks of phones. The result was the Stewart Report, published in April 2000.
This report advised that gaps in our current knowledge mean we should take a “precautionary approach” to phone use.’
2008:
‘Cancer link’ to heavy mobile use
‘Heavy mobile phone use may be linked to an increased risk of cancer of the salivary gland, a study suggests.’
2011:
Mobile phones ‘affect the brain’
‘A study by the National Institutes of Health in the US suggests that mobile phones could have an effect on the brain.’
In 2019 the EU announced it had no studies on the danger of 5G…
Click to access EPRS_BRI(2020)646172_EN.pdf
‘The European Commission has not yet conducted studies on the potential health risks of the 5G technology.’
The EU goes on….
‘This raises the question as to whether there is a negative impact on human health and environment from higher frequencies and billions of additional connections, which, according to research, will mean constant exposure for the whole population, including children. Whereas researchers generally consider such radio waves not to constitute a threat to the population, research to date has not addressed the constant exposure that 5G would introduce. Accordingly, a section of the scientific community considers that more research on the potential negative biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and 5G is needed, notably on the incidence of some serious human diseases. A further consideration is the need to bring together researchers from different disciplines, in particular medicine and physics or engineering, to conduct further research into the effects of 5G.
Questions remain unanswered as to what 5G actually is, what it is for, whether it has impacts onhuman health and environment, whether it is secure, whether it offers good value for money or whether anyone will be prepared to pay for it.’
So studies are needed to assess any possible dangers of 5G.
180 scientists and doctors lobby the EU to study the dangers of 5G…are they all mad conspiracy theorists?….
https://www.jrseco.com/european-union-5g-appeal-scientists-warn-of-potential-serious-health-effects-of-5g/
EU 5G Appeal – Scientists warn of potential serious health effects of 5G
‘In an appeal to the European Union, more than 180 scientists and doctors from 36 countries warn about the danger of 5G, which will lead to a massive increase in involuntary exposure to electromagnetic radiation. The scientists urge the EU to follow Resolution 1815 of the Council of Europe, asking for an independent task force to reassess the health effects.’
The respected Scientific American journal states…
We Have No Reason to Believe 5G Is Safe
‘The telecommunications industry and their experts have accused many scientists who have researched the effects of cell phone radiation of “fear mongering” over the advent of wireless technology’s 5G….the preponderance of peer-reviewed research, more than 500 studies, have found harmful biologic or health effects from exposure to RFR at intensities too low to cause significant heating.’
How is it that the ICNIRP has needed to draw up new guidelines to protect us from 5G?
Click to access ICNIRP_Media_Release_110320.pdf
‘The ICNIRP first published its international guidelines for protection against harmful effects of radiofrequency fields in 1998. The main changes in the 2020 guidelines that are relevant to 5G exposures are for frequencies above 6 GHz. These include: the addition of a restriction for exposure to the whole body; the addition of a restriction for brief (less than 6‐minute) exposures to small regions of the body; and the reduction of the maximum exposure permitted over a small region of the body.
The most important thing for people to remember is that 5G technologies will not be able to cause harm when these new guidelines are adhered to. ‘
So many people do have serious concerns about 5G…maybe they are manageable with suitable regulations, maybe not…however Icke is actually concerned with that conspiracy to hijack the world…the ‘totalitarian tiptoe’ as he calls it as draconian controls are introduced gradually and almost unnoticeably and each one done so under the pretext of protecting us from some danger.
He comes up with a lot of dots [such as Ofcom being both the censor of critics of 5G and its official promoter] which in his mind can be joined up to create a very sinister picture of what is really happening…is he right or is he just, em, dotty?
Here’s a few dots in relation to the virus….
5G was rolled out in China just before the virus broke out.
Just before coronavirus broke out the World Military Games were held in Wuhan with hundreds of soldiers taking part from around the world…
‘ China and the Military World Games
As China lauds the success of the 2019 games in Wuhan, let’s look at why Beijing is interested in such events at all.’
https://thediplomat.com/2019/11/china-and-the-military-world-games/
Just before the outbreak an exercise was conducted based on a very familiar narrative…Event 201…
http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/scenario.html
‘The Event 201 scenario
Event 201 simulates an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms.’
Event 201 is backed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which seeks world government esentially…they also back the Gavi Vaccine Initiative…you may have heard the CEO on Today this morning telling us how we need world ‘cooperation’.
Event 201 is also backed by the John Hopkins Center for Health Security…who you may have heard the BBC quoting alarming statistics about the coronavirus.
And of course good old Charlie telling us in January we need a new world order…a revolution…
‘I have dedicated much of my life to the restoration of harmony between humanity, nature and the environment, and to the encouragement of corporate social and environmental responsibility. Quite frankly, it has been a bit of an uphill struggle. But, now, it is time to take it to the next level.
In order to secure our future and to prosper, we need to evolve our economic model.
I have come to realise that it is not a lack of capital that is holding us back, but rather the way in which we deploy it. Therefore, to move forward, we need nothing short of a paradigm shift, one that inspires action at revolutionary levels and pace.
Nature is, in fact, the life blood of our financial markets and, as such, we must – rapidly – re-align our own economy to mimic nature’s economy and work in harmony with it.
After nearly 50 years of trying to champion this cause, I cannot help but feel that, finally, we are ready to change our trajectory.’
The coronavirus is the biggest dot being used to exert control, Icke though notes others that are inch by inch being introduced in order to control us and create a mass global dependency where the State has mass control of everything and can use food, AI and digital dominance to track us, track our thoughts and control our behaviour.
You can see how suddenly the big tech companies like Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon are suddenly working hand in glove with the government [and suddenly no concerns whatsoever from the BBC et al] to track us and control us….a cashless society means they know everything we buy…and means they can thus control what we buy…computer says ‘no’ when you get to till. Google and fellow big tech companies have endless data on us that can be used to keep government informed of our political opinions, our behaviour and who we meet, and what we do…all vital information for a tyranny to have. AI means control over travel as vehicles are controlled by computers controlled by whoever has the ower…it lso means behavioural control as humans gradually merge with the AI….
‘Ray Kurzweil, Google’s Director of Engineering, is a well-known futurist with a high-hitting track record for accurate predictions.
2029 is the consistent date I have predicted for when an AI will pass a valid Turing test and therefore achieve human levels of intelligence. “That leads to computers having human intelligence, our putting them inside our brains, connecting them to the cloud, expanding who we are. Today, that’s not just a future scenario,” Kurzweil said. “It’s here, in part, and it’s going to accelerate.”’
The government will know who you are, where you are and what you think…and they can control what you think as AI, connected to government computers, is inserted into us.
Icke is not really peddling a conspiracy theory about 5G he is raising legitimate concerns about government and Big Tech working in tandem to exert mass control in a totalitarian way…and if you think it can’t happen….it’s here right now. Lockdown.
Icke may be somewhat hyper and dramatic but he has a point and one that should be debated rather than dismissed as crazy.
Consider that the BBC spends a huge amount of time attacking social media and Facebook for undermining democracy and spreading fake news and yet suddenly all that is forgotten as is that cherished democracy as Parliament is all but suspended and the country is run by a junta from No10…but the BBC says nothing about this extraordinary and very scary turn of events.
Icke’s video referencing 5G has of course been banned from all platforms but you can see the full video on Infowars….make up your own mind but he does have some legitimate points and concerns about 5G are widespread in ‘credible’ and authoritative fields….
https://banned.video/watch?id=5e8e28ed1f333e003a33793b
You can see his video on his thoughts on the conspiracy of the 1% cult to take over the world….
Here’s the video on exosomes…by a psychiatrist…many holes you can pick in it even as a layman…
Here’s the real experts on exosomes….
Somebody wrote on Twitter that Icke has more credibility than the BBC
The BBC seems to cuddle up to the Chinese government
maybe so it doesn’t get thrown out
See this BBC tweet from February
The translation
They’ll be video of this guy somewhere
Must be true if it was on Twitter.
The BBC guy suggested that the cover up was the original LOCAL one
… not a NATIONAL government one.
“Let’s put it in perspective: the #Wuhan Mayor apologised for not releasing information on the potentially-deadly #coronavirus earlier
because he “did not have clearance from above” to do so.
Ineptitude.
He knew but covered it up because of Communist Party’s governance structure.
“The president clearly switches to speaking about antibiotic resistant bugs analogously, in attempt to make a point about immunology in general.”
but if you are a Trump hater, you can MISREPRESENT what he says
..and the BBC Chief China correspondent will retweet it
to score some points
At the risk of a double post –
I can no longer bear to watch the awful BBC News
Brilliant. Saving that list !!!!! Spot on . All 50 we see daily.

As the BBC fakes appreciation of the NHS Rebecca is spot on –
Rebecca who ?
Correct. Bravely spoken Rebecca.
(Also IMO the military should be running a lot of things).
Rebecca* says “The NHS is rubbish” “more than my job’s worth .. incompetent managers ”
“that is why the ARMY has been given the job of running Nightingales”
*Rebecca Butler : Nurse to barrister to nurse again
who doesn’t like Matt Hancock
Rebecca Butler is somewhat of a TV & Social Media sensation with a viral appearance on Question Time as well as videos on social media slamming the betrayal of our veterans and remainer politicians.
I saw:
“The WHO v coronavirus: why it can’t handle the pandemic”
and though that Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are in their mid 70s and the other 2 blokes are are dead so it’s hardly good odds at the best of times if you’re setting them up for a big project.
Doodle and thoughts
Its a week or so since i lasted posted as I really didnt see the point just lately as the BBC are doing a really good job of destroying themselves in the minds of others without any of us having to lift a finger to our keyboards.
However there had to be a “Here We Go” moment and its come, its the to be expected ……..There is “emerging evidence” to suggest coronavirus is having a disproportionate impact on people who are black, Asian and minority ethnic.
So we ask ourselves why do the BBC bring this to our attention and not the fact that:
1) A disproportionate amount of BME people are in prison.
2) A disproportionate amount of young BME males are murdered.
3) A disproportionate amount of BME children are not innoculated
May I suggest that a larger than average proportion of the BME community in this country think they are above the law and untouchable and not capable or willing to adhere to or follow orders or act responsibly in our advanced society.
I’m sick to death of the BBC pushing the narrative that its the (white racist) government’s fault, it isn’t, we who live in this country have a duty of care to ourselves and others. It would seem that some “communitys” apply that mantra more than others a fact substantiated by the dispropirtianly higher numbers of deaths within certain “communitys”.
My sympathys however do go out to anyone who has lost a relative or loved one to this terrible disease.
I look forward to the media and twitterati ripping themselves part over this in a year or two when this period of time starts to be investigated. The BBC will no doubt blame the deaths on Thatcher and institutional racism rather than the Chinese or people ignoring advice from the department of health.
Ethnic communities have largely ignored warnings and continued about their daily life and the lawlessness has thus been responsible for the virus cutting through families like a scythe. In the US the effect has been equally pronounced with youths continuing to play basketball and groups ‘hanging out’ on the corner. Bringing disease into their homes in order to ‘stick it to the man’
And all the time Calvin the obvious reasons for Covid spread are ignored reasons such as
1 Too many people living too close together
2 Too many people not having respect for sensible rules
3 Police happier going for the “low hanging fruit” such as law abiding people keeping their distance from each other whilst sitting in a park whilst avoiding groups who may give them trouble. Start arresting large groups of ethnics en masse and see what happens. It is why the northern rape gangs were ignored for so long.
The police in so many cases have forgotten about real crime they have become politiscised and have lost the respect of the population at large and are using Covid as an exercise in self justification just like the BBC.
The bBBC state that BAME people make up only 14% of the population, but make up a larger proportion of covid19 deaths, does not make much sense. They appear to be at least half the population when I watch their shows, news reports and NHS stories. Has the bBBC deliberately been over representing the BAME community in it’s programming?
BAME people may comprise 14% of the national population, but in London they are the majority (as far back as the 2011 Census, White Britons in London were below 45% of the population). Most of the UK’s Covid-19 problems have been in London, therefore one would expect that – all things being equal – the number of BAME deaths would be numerically large. A detailed analysis, of the sort that would never be permitted, may reveal a more realistic picture.
Coming soon on the BBC: new tractor production statistics from the Soviet Union in the 1960s revealed.
I wonder if we’ll see a reduction in the number of adverts featuring BAMES seeing as how most ads are made in London.
Calvin,
Just wait until Messrs. Sue, Grabbit and Run and other ambulance chasers swing into action. Accusations and law suits will very much be a feature of post-coronavirus UK life.
And, who knows, perhaps some truths will be revealed as a result of m’learned friends’s zealous desire to line their own pockets by exploiting the misery of others.
Funnily enough, Mrs Voter was talking to our daughter about working at home just now. She manages a department at a northeastern college in Scotland. They all have ergonomic chairs in their offices, but obviously not at home. The daughter got hers from her work and is using it at home. She said that she wondered how long before the bad back claims would take to come rolling in.
When are they not?

For those who believe – happy easter . The boss has risen .
I’ve seen every Government Briefing . We are all witnessing the failure of the MSM to do its job and the government doing the same .
What are these briefings for ? Apart from repeating the ‘ stay in ‘ message what is the benefit . I can’t see one any more .
What do people need from a briefing ?
Reassurance based on useful facts .
We get neither . We get incomplete numbers of ‘ overall ‘ stuff . People want to know by region . I could list a load of relevant questions which deserve answers – where are the ventilators ? How many ? Same for PPE
Instead we get jumbled numbers – medics looking more shifty by the day – or standing like robots .
And then the media ?
The BBC waste the first question on ‘gotcha” – Demand promises of tests which they then use to gotcha the next minister up as a target ,
And more – will the NHS get a medal ?
Home sec – where have you been ?
Will you apologise for this or that – as though it makes any difference .
Anecdotes about shortages and bland replies – we’ve delivered 7 million trillion thousand hundred stuff says A nervous Priti –
We – joe public- deserve more from these characters – government and press – because of the sacrifice we are making .
We won’t be getting it any time soon though .
Worse than all that though – is a report in the telegraph saying the UKs ability to produce vaccine is not much any more .
So even when it comes – unless planning is done now – we will be scraping around for capacity along with lesser countries . There seem only 2 ways out –
1Cross fingers and hope the virus gets killed off by summer
2 A vaccine to protect the population . The delivery process must be planned out by now – including contingencies based on numbers available and means of delivery .
So we are left unreassured or frightened Or fed up and an uninformed public ;a shambolic testing system which doesn’t yet indicate the extent of infection yet alone prospective levels. Let’s all clap .
What’s also needed are the sharpest knives in the box – but on evidence presented this far there are plenty of dullards .
Happy Easter again – and another month of lock down – at least
Same to you Fed and everyone else on this site.
I think the message that they are trying to give us is that they are in control when it is obvious that they haven’t been in control for quite a few years. If one good thing has come out of this, it is that it might remind a few of the woke progressives of North London that one day even they may die (despite only drinking ethical, skinny soya Lattes with essence of organic Baobub milk )
As for the Bossman – I expect he is looking at this whole man made sh## show and shaking his head.
I doubt whether stinking rich Kensington Emily’s little Virtue signalling exercise on last weeks Newsnight will buy her seat “next to the father” she would probably do just as well buying a few Holy relics complete with a certificate of Authenticity .
To that end – I am selling a number of these if Emily or Anyone else is interested.
A box containing Lord Halls conscience (consists of an empty ping pongball)
A box of Jeremy Corbyns Honesty (consists of a red ping pong ball)
Todays specials are a broken Newtons cradle from a heroic NHS managers desk.
A plastic mac (said to have been worn by saint Greta on her Atlantic crossing) and found on the beach.
A very rare bottle of containing a sample James o Briens humility
(it looks like stomch bile – but dont be fooled)
Keir starmers political and moral Integrity (consists of snakeskin)
A box of Mark Sedwells advice to the PM (consists of two mule ears)
And my star item (said to be the great mans inspiration) A copy of Razzle once owned by Brendan Cox and fished out of the canal, pages appear stuck together, but careful handling will bring this mighty tome back to life.
All of these items are twenty quid a pop and come with a certificate of authenticity. Please make all cheques out to me. Only one item per household.
Sorry fed if i am using your blog to make a few quid – but needs must and all that.
Pay – no worry as long as I get my 5% …..
The BBC ticket is saying a third of critically ill covid sufferers are ethnic minorities . And that’s it . Not casual racist – just racism .
This is the trouble when the agenda and illness meet . Why say that ? What does it imply ? Is that a good thing ?
Underneath the numbers the vast majority of cases are in high population densities – cities – and where are the ethnics ? Cities – therefore it’s like it that ethnics will get the illness . So what ?
In fact – in places like London – newham and tower hamlets ethnics are the majority – so the majority of covid sufferers are likely to be non-white .
All in all this means nothing . Unless – of course – the BBC is implying the ethnics get poorer treatment than whitee …..
The commons is to return on 21 April . So at least we know there won’t be any tedious wasted hours with the government briefings – unless people are entertained by ministers not being about to say “167, 456 “ or similar . …. try rehearsing next time Priti you idiot .
They always seem to get jobs on countryfile, Springwatch etc and now a gardening prog this morning though
wonder why that is, I have never seen in years of country walks any of the above BAMES, but not according to the bbc
One third of victims are ethnic? – just goes to show they are all victims really and really should be allowed to do what they like. Unlike those morons who have for years worked and uncomplainingly paid their tax and stupidly expected the wonderful NHS to also be there for them them rather than those who have come here to just take.
Figgers.
Context : a year old story dated Jan 2019
BBC News
Opec producers and allies will cut production by 10 million barrels a day from May to combat a fall in demand.
***
Bizarre phrasing.
Indeed. It is acceptable to combat a fall in oil demand, but utterly unacceptable to refer to Boris as a fighter in his struggle against the Chinese virus. Whereas fighting against Tory Kutz is a moral imperative.
Likely on the same edit suite floor as Boris being moved to another ward.
Turned R4 on this morning 7.45 …someone criticising that Boris has been called a Fighter because he has the Chinese Virus …..off button again ! . It’s no wonder that most of us avoid the appalling BBC……..Meanwhile back to watching Minder …..happy days
‘Unity News Network’? A new one on me.
Seems to be making all the ‘right’ noises.
The BBC are, to be fair, probably not alone in reporting Boris’s gratitude to the NHS for saving his life.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52258980
But two points emerge.
1. Isn’t that what the NHS is supposed to do ? What is the £110bn+ we spend on the NHS otherwise actually for? How grateful should we be for a service we have a right to expect, as we pay for it in the first place?
2. The understandably very strong emotional response to having one’s life saved, or health condition improved more generally, is exactly why almost no independent, rational, imaginative critique of the NHS is possible. Consequently change is sclerotic at best and deficiencies are never challenged.
What a fine thing it would be if Boris came out and said ‘I am so glad the people treating me did what they are supposed and paid to do’. And how the roof would fall in on his head if he did!
Or as my socially-distanced neighbour put it: “It doesn’t matter how many people the virus kills! The important thing is that we protect our NHS!”
Yes, he reads the Guardian and watches the BBC.
Sluff
I was thinking of putting up a separate post for the BBC and NHS – but haven’t yet – the posts tend to merge into one .
I see the NHS as a failed organisation – together with the medical profession – in desperate need of a total overhaul .
So much of the nations ‘ resources are sunk into it but when it is pressured it fails and flounders . I’m not talking about individuals – the whole thing .
I have heard that doctors are much better than civil engineers as they only kill in ones
How I wish Boris slotted that into a briefing
I think the liberal left would be wiped out in one collective apoplectic fit, including Corbyn,the bbc and grauniad turning purple and having siezures
Fed, I think a serious look should be taken at the Department for Health (and the rest of the Civil Service for that matter) along with a review of all Government spending.
The rumour (possibly well founded) emerged during the Blair/Brown era that taxpayer money for education was reduced by about half before it reached the LEAs (oops, sorry – Local Education Authority) and it was then reduced by half again by the time cash was given to the end recipients – the schools.
That sort of administrative economic burden cannot be tolerated in future, it just will not be affordable post-Covid anyway, especially in the aftermath of the PPE shambles and similar.
I can give an example of this sort of waste. About 15 years ago there was a national shortage of LGV (used to be HGV) drivers so money was made available to train and make up the shortfall. At the time I worked for a firm of training providers (note: we didn’t actually do the training). We bid for the work and I went to a meeting at which were many people in suits. There were people overseeing the scheme; then a local college who would provide NVQ assessors and oversee us. Then us, we would employ LGV trainers to actually do the training. All of course had quality systems to ensure the standard of work being done and were audited by third parties. Now, if I were to introduce such a scheme the criteria would be – trainers recruit candidates, when they pass (the only quality check needed) the trainers get paid. Fraud would be difficult – someone would actually have to get a licence. The cost would be a quarter of that budgeted but of course all those people in suits would have nothing to do (and wouldn’t get paid!)
What was the ‘treatment’?
Oxygen and paracetamol? The gas we normally breathe and one of the cheapest pills going and the NHS costs how much?
Paying for the NHS, is a bit like car insurance, you have to have it but you hope that you never do use it. How can something that is paid for in advance be so utterly useless? They know year on year the amount they have to spend, can’t keep to budget and then go to the Government cap in hand for more. Any other business would have gone to the wall years ago. Still we must clap mustn’t we!

Actual story – some are in short supply..er yes that is normal and then they get restocked..
Who are these ‘Medics?’ do they just pick the phone up and have a hot line to the BBC…
And now they have shoehorned the victim BAME story into an Easter message……CV-19 is racist…..it is affecting them more than white people..
“does that make you angry as a community leader?” was the question…how inflammatory is that…
The BBC just can’t help it can they..

#2 Nurses union head doing BBC right-speak
That was a made up headline, James, was just about to post about it. I think it was sheer bunkum from a ‘source’ (anti-Conservative Govt.) to the (anti-Conservative Govt.) BBC who are no doubt delighted to try and make Bojo & Co look bad.
What do we know?
We know that elective surgery has by and large, except in real emergency cases (eg. brain tumour causing fitting and threatening life in the longer term) been postponed. I have a friend waiting for a new hip, for example. Non-essential elective, therefore postponed.
Therefore, there can be no shortage of anaesthetic meds.
Someone just needs to kick someone else’s bum to get stuff shifted from surgery to the IC wards.
Hopefully, Dr boohana, will kick my bum if I’ve got that understanding wrong. If he/she has time to read this post while doing proper caring medicine unlike the ‘spare’ (!) Doc who could instead spend time politically weaponising this ‘supposed’ shortage.
Question for the BBC… do you think media types only viewing their own miss out on alternative input?
Poor Bill. His memory – both RAM and hard disk – must be failing. He did, after all, finance the ‘simulation’ at John Hopkins just 6 months ago:
http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/
Still pushing the ‘global response’.
Amazing, or not, how the BBC prefers the opinion of a billionaire to democratically elected politicians…..though he is, apparently a ‘health expert’…in his own words.

Not the BBC news….
We could rely on ‘Broadcasting House’ on R4 to emphasise the message that BAME are really the special victims of the virus; inferred – but never said explicitly (since it would patently be garbage), that whitee is somehow to blame for this.
This started up on R4 last night, where there was so much rambling on about ‘inequality’, that anyone who didn’t conclude that Socialism was the answer, hadn’t been listening.
Conclusion: Easter is a special opportunity for beeb to stir, even more than they usually do!
Happy Easter, everyone!
PS If you feel the need to escape the virus, I am told by beeb that THEY have the only place that is free of it: Ambridge. So hasten there…
It appears that there are far too many folk with XI JINPING virus
from the BAME and other ethnic communities than there should
be, according to the demographics of the UK. The figure is 30%
when there is only 14% of the said community.
BUT wait where by far, are the largest outbreak of the virus?
Yes it’s London . And only around 35% of the population of
the capitol are indigenous.
Others have written about the make up of programmes on the BBC and the diversity make up of the presenters, reporters etc.
Where because of diversity and positive discrimination
percentages of ethnicity , go by the board.
In fact as far as I am concerned as a Londoner the only
programme that reflects the make up of its inhabitants
is the Londonistan programme. We see Riz Lateef, Asad Ahmad,
Alice Bhanhukravi etc presenting. Kurt Barling, Brenda Emmanus,
Alpha Patel etc reporting, and a few whities thrown in. No,
this is OK , because there are less are only 35% of us indigenous
left in London. The dogma of positive discrimination goes by
the board , so far as BIG BROTHER at the diversity dept is
concerned.
I reiterate on what I wrote a couple of days ago. Emily Maitlis
was not that far wrong when she said that we are not all that
equal when it comes to catching and dying from the virus.
Because of all the illegal immigrants and over crowding there
will be more cases of the virus pro rata amongst certain poorer ethnic communities.
“Because of all the illegal immigrants and over crowding there
will be more cases of the virus pro rata amongst certain poorer ethnic communities………….”
Oh God, wait til Afua Hirsch gets wind of this, she’ll accuse us of virally racially cleansing her lot !
What the BBC isn’t telling you as it joins the feeding frenzy attacking the government for not providing enough PPE but lauds ze Germans….
https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/germany-is-failing-in-its-efforts-to-obtain-protective-gear-a-fd08b86c-7b3a-4ac2-b2fe-089f4490679c
Germany Is Failing in its Efforts To Obtain Protective Gear
The German government failed to obtain enough protective masks for the country.
The health minister and the Robert Koch Institute now recommend that single-use masks be cleaned and reused when worse comes to worst. Many hospital workers are afraid. What happens if the number of COVID-19 cases rises and they run out of masks?
“To allow us to work now without enough protective equipment is irresponsible. Politicians are abandoning us.”
The German government has done far too little to ensure the protection of doctors and nurses. It initially missed the opportunity to build up sufficient stockpiles, in particular for doctor’s offices, hospitals and nursing homes.
It’s now clear that the German government was ill-prepared for this pandemic, even though a 2012 risk analysis by the federal government sketched out a crisis scenario that is eerily similar to the current situation.
At the start of this week that the ministry had obtained and distributed 20 million masks. But that’s not enough. According to estimates, German hospitals alone need 17 million FFP2 masks per month, along with 45 million simple protective masks. As the pandemic progresses, that need could grow considerably.
“The Americans are currently taking a lot of money and buying up the global production of masks and other protective gear. That drives the prices even higher,” says Reinhard Wiedemann, the lead buyer for Asklepios, a private hospital chain.
BBC don’t like the Government using terms linked with war. Indeed, Victoria Derbyshire found it quite “disturbing ‘.
But hey ho, it’s only offending the BBC when the Government use it.
It’s Easter Day. Arguably the most important day of the year to Christians.
So what main final story do we get on the BBC Sunday Toady?
Why, a big feature interview with an activist Muslim, of course!
One thing that has come out of this terrible virus is the performance of Nigel Farage, remember him ??? He has morphed into another government basher he is more interested in looking after his radio career on LBC than asks questions about the dispraportionate numbers of BME infected or the performance of the EU.
Bye bye Nigel it was lovely knowing you.
I have to agree. He has become hysterical regarding the virus and I just can’t listen to him any more.
Which is not to say the Government has got everything right regarding the virus. No one could. But there are quite enough people on the BBC and elsewhere in the MSM willing to tell HM Government how wrong they are, frequently for political reasons of wanting them to be wrong, without him adding his tuppence worth.
Additionally, NF appears to have taken his eye off those calling for an extension to the transition period.
BREAKING: Sir Stirling Moss has passed away aged 90 after a long illness
.. as his wife Lady Moss reveals the British racing legend ‘died as he lived,

What is WRONG with the bbc ?
turned onto bbc 1 to see their Easter programme a wimmin vicar and a black wimmin, turned back to Minder to recall when people spoke English in London,, gave it 20 minutes and turnedback to bbc 1 again for Easter and a black wimmin choir
So it is bbc black wimmin Easter this year, forget the other 85% of the population
An interesting conversation on Nigel Farage’s LBC show. I’m afraid I only caught the tail end of it, however…
Nigel was chatting to a doctor and asked him why Germany’s coronavirus mortality figures are so much better than ours.
The doctor confirmed something that quite a few of us have suspected. In Britain if you die with corona like symptoms it’s logged as a corona fatality. You might have been suffering with some other terminal disease and were only days away from death, but it’s corona that goes on the death certificate.
In Germany they only log the death as corona if that’s definitely what they’ve died from.
Obviously our figures are going to be much worse than those in Germany.
When I watched Andrew Marr earlier today this fairly obvious point wasn’t raised. It was just another chance to bash the government.
Strange…
I suspected that, Jeff. We cannot rely on the mortality figures.
The BBC will . . .
. . . . . . . and blame the Government of the day.
I see the BBC are reporting that Parliament will meet ‘viturally’ on the 21st April. Just enough time to debate lifting some lockdown restrictions for Ramadan starting on the 23rd April.
Infuriating.
Doob,
‘Infuriating’. But only to be expected. Law and justice are both evaporating before our very eyes. Got a way to go yet.
Its still staggering that a group of civilians can dictate events against the letter of the law. Had this f…….er been in jail would they have congregated outside demanding his release ? er, no.
BRISSLES
Well said , pity the plane hadn’t taken off….he could have been released at 20,000 feet over the sea …fish food !
I’m not a gambling man but I would not hesitate to, if the numbers were eventually available, have a flutter on the fact that those people who flaunt the ‘isolation’ rules are in the main either foreigners or those masquerading as “British Citizens” born elsewhere like Africa, Mid East or from the Former Soviet Union.
I’m also sure that the police repeatedly hear: ‘we no speaka de engleez’. That old chestnut.
G
I think when the dust settles the numbers of those who are dying in care homes will come as a bit of a shock – not that many would be interested of course . The only ‘good’ would be for elderly social care to be finally resolved an improved . HMG is throwing money around like a drunk in a casino ( done that ) so another 5 billion a year for proper elderly support wouldn’t be noticed .
( by the way this doesn’t affect me ).
Fed,
But what need, foreign ‘carers’ in the end if there’s no elderly to ‘care’ for?
I guess they will sign on as benefits will be more substantial than what they would get, ‘home’.
What frightens me is those 15 minutes ‘ care’ visits passing infection from one frail person to the next … having seen standards in London I’m fearful for those with no one to speak for them .
I think after watching or rather seeing the bbc 1 black Easter I will start a campaign of complaints, and when the inevitable refusal to apologise or take any blame for the offence caused to the 85% indigenous population from their barrage of black people, refuse to accept and elevate to ofcom although they are just as twisted from what I hear.
Presenters chosen only for the colour of their skin, i.e. black wherever possible, beyond their talents eg the Munchetty monster, allowed to make snidey anti Trump anti Brexit comments and be openly rude and hostile to co presenters with impunity (cos she is black?)
An “asian” channel that is only allowed to promote BLACK asians despite the millions of non black asians in this country
Do the bbc not understand how offensive so many people find THEM ?
Boris. “The nhs saved my life”
And on the third day he rose.
Also sprache Boris.
Good to have you back.
EG
Perhaps BoJo will be fit enough in 10 days time to do the first virtual commons – can you imagine how the former speaker would have dealt with that ? He’d be full CGI …
Ispeaker.
Fed, the former speaker, now … who was that … ummmh … Betty Boothroyd? Er, no … George Thomas? Have I forgotten somebody?
Ha Up2 – I left out the name because I look forward to that character not even being a footnote . At least lockdown has shut him up .
Obviously the MSM haven’t given any attention to the fairly disgraceful shadow cabinet – or the nasty tweet Wrong Bailey sent to her cabinet opposite number .
Sooner or later the report on Labour anti-Semitism will have to be published but I bet it won’t be noticed .
Whereas a cabinet minister taking stuff to his elderly parents gets the full MSM treatment .
Boris it now OUT of hospital and going home. According to some reports in the press he was far far worse than we were told, and his entry into ICU was not ‘routine’, apparently staff were worried for his survival. Amazing what comes to light AFTER the event.

The UK is likely to be among the European countries worst affected by coronavirus, one of the government’s senior scientific advisers has said.
The warning, from Sir Jeremy Farrar, comes as UK deaths from the virus are expected to pass 10,000 on Sunday.
000000000000
Sir Jeremiah must be right because he has a very large bookcase, which is so full that some books are lying sideways.
