The free TV licence For the over 75s ends on 1 August . If someone is on ‘pension credit ‘ through low income – they will continue to be free of the TV licence if over 75 . But over a million people who are entitled to pension credit have not applied and claimed it . I found out about this on a leading financial website aimed at saving people money …..

TfL ask Banksy to recreate artwork in more suitable place
after their cleaners “accidentally” removed it.
StewGreen
About blinking time ! Its just vandalism that has been allowed to go on for far too long .
It is just graffiti.
@Taff
as an EX Teacher I know how much Banksy is lauded in schools…even on the Curriculum?…I was fighting against it for years.Trying to push great traditional British Art…not the CRAP that fills our ‘Modern Art’ galleries today
Just compare the Pre-Raphaelites (Birmingham has a fantastic collection of truly GREAT art) with the childish, cliched nonsense of Banksy and others.
HENCE I’m not in teaching anymore
Luckyharry69
Well done. We will end up looking like a third world country if we don’t get a strong government that will stamp it out. Boris needs to get that stupid statue of a protester in Bristol pulled down .
Disgraceful the police did not prevent it being erected.
@Taff
between me and you I am SEETHING about it.I have emailed my MP for what its worth.
I am beginning to wonder what this so called ‘Conservative’ Government are all about?
just listening to BBC Parliament and the debates…they sound more like a Social Democrat Party?……….
I cant get my head round an 80 seat majority and Johnson is doing NOTHING
End up…… ?
I got dragged into Tate Modern just before Christmas, the first time I’ve ventured inside.
Now, they do have some good stuff in there; Degas, Walter Sickert and a few others. Paintings and sculptures I can look at and appreciate. But most of it, to my untutored eye seemed to be utter tosh.
In one of the giant galleries was a series of large brown pyramid shapes. I can’t recall what they were supposed to represent, but to me they just looked like enormous animal droppings.
Next door were (what looked like) a lot of drainage pipes piled up. I’m afraid I was standing there scratching my head and saying, “Eh?”
Then in a corner I saw a stack of chairs and (I’ll be honest) I wasn’t at all sure if they were a “work of art” or…just a stack of chairs.
Yes, I know…
I’m a Philistine.
@Jeff
The Tate is great for a lot of stuff.I like the Tate and there is some brilliant Pop Art/Op Art etc(I even like Jackson Pollock and others)…..BUT yes I agree when there seems to be little ‘skill’ or ‘craft’ involved and it becomes pure PRETENTION….I get bored.
To be fair the National Gallery and Portrait Gallery are great places and worth every penny of taxpayers money.Thats my opinion anyway.
Freedom for philistinia
I leant on a radiator in the Tate modern and a security guard told me off for touching an exhibit .
Swear to God . I looked at again and it still called out ‘ radiator ‘ …
Fed, ‘it spoke to you’. *
* The late Brian Sewell’s definition of art.
Up2 Ha ha – much missed – mr Sewell RIP. I also troll along to the Royal Academy summer exhibition which has gradually become snowflake city over the years . Some of the trash really goes for notes …. I was thinking of doing some amusing defund the BBC thing but the vetting committee wouldn’t get it .
I Suppose the coloured matters thing will still be big next year .. or as I write .. a series of used face masks made into a deathlike model of Owen Jones …..
Fed, I miss Brian Sewell’s sybilances on the BBC but disagreed with him on what is fine art and what is not fine art.
I couldn’t give a stuff if it was done by Picasso. Get it cleaned off, and, Mr. “Banksy”, stop inflicting your criminal damage on the rest of us.
It is his arrogance that gets me. The train is public property and not his to deface. Charge him and fine him. Any other person would face that. Is he above the law?
Dave, recent events demonstrated the state of the ‘rule of law’ in Londonistan, Bristol. Effectively ‘do what thou wilt’
Unless you are a white English working, tax paying middled aged male.
@Dave
agreed
and he the audacity to tell people to stay away while he commited an OFFENCE.
Good job I wasnt on that Tube…seriously……
Never understood the adoration of Wanksy. Years ago some of his graffiti was quite original and amusing, but it was still just graffiti, and hardly ‘art’.
Then he got adopted by the Guardian and the BBC, and started getting all political and woke, it’s been downhill ever since, but he seems to have carte blanche to do whatever kind of vandalism he wants, say whatever he wants, offend whoever he wants… why?
He’s from my neck of the woods (well, Bristol… not far off, geographically, a million miles culturally…), and I used to work with a guy from Bristol who claimed he went to school with him, fee paying school of course. I’m pretty sure this guy did know him too, some of the things he said about him – said he was a bit of a pretentious wanker, even then, and got a lot of detention for smoking weed in the toilets and mouthing back at teachers.
I’d reckon that would make Banksy in his late 40s/early 50s now… getting on a bit for a ‘teen rebel’, just another white, privileged, middle-aged, middle-class male, in fact.
‘A tweet by the BBC Archive account this morning poking fun at Birmingham’s failed bid to host the 1992 Olympics has triggered an outpouring of Brummie pride.
The tweet, from the @BBCArchive account, replays a news story about the city’s attempt to bring the Games to Birmingham, with the comment: “Birmingham was bidding to host the 1992 Olympic Games. Yes, Birmingham. Yes, the Olympic games.”
The response to the tone of the tweet, deemed unnecessarily sneering, was fierce and instant.
City MP and mayoral candidate Liam Byrne commented: “This snarky nasty little tweet is pretty poor stuff from a #BBC that has systematically slashed its investment in the Midlands. We pay a lot in. And frankly we don’t get our fair share back. So don’t add insult to injury. Delete this and apologise.”
Mayor Andy Street added: “At a time when the BBC is cutting jobs in the West Midlands, we could really do without these silly digs. I for one am immensely proud of our region, and can’t wait to see us host the Commonwealth Games in just two years time.”‘
Looking at this clip of Michael Caine as he says the people who most perpetuate the class system are the working class….could you say the same about racism…the people who perpetuate racism are the people who claim to suffer from racism the most….some are brainwashed into thinking like that, others are more cynical and either want to earn a living from the race industry or they, as with BLM, want to start a race war to further their Marxist designs….ironically exploiting the black people they claim to be helping.
Did the BBC mention the jimmy saville statue that appeared there for a short time.?
?
I just posted the answer 10 mins before you wrote
Its on the previous page
So is the Birmingham Olympics story
which I posted at this lunchtime.
Hero to Zero….another ‘male, pale and stale’ BBC employee sent packing….toast of the town one day…toast the next….
That rant wasnt his best moment . And it sure played well for the PM – it was a pure bubble storm and meant nothing to most .
Of course, pure entitled nonsense…but the BBC and Remainiacs loved it. How soon they forget.
ITV local news opens “Here we are in London with Yorkshire people from ExcludedUK who are taking in a petition about people excluded from furlough
.. and here’s the LABOUR MP to speak”
seems PR as news.
By coincidence a lot in that category are freelance workers in the media.
Stew, a lot of them may have formed their own limited company and therefore take their earnings via dividends and don’t pay the full rate of Income Tax because they pay Corporation Tax instead.
These views aren’t marginal…they’re widespread and deeply rooted in the BLM’s ideology….suported by the BBC of course….Whites are animals and true savages…as for the Jews….anti-Semitism seems part of the BLM make-up…
He is echoing what the BLM founders have been saying for years….
‘Black Lives Matter co-founder appears to label white people ‘defects’’
‘A co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto argued that white people are “recessive genetic defects” and purportedly mused about how the race could be “wiped out,” according to a post on what appears to be her Facebook page.
A co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto argued that white people are “recessive genetic defects” and purportedly mused about how the race could be “wiped out,” according to a post on what appears to be her Facebook page.
Khogali has a track record of inflammatory, divisive rhetoric.
Only last week during a protest in front of the US consulate Khogali shouted into a microphone that “Justin Trudeau is a white supremacist terrorist” and urged the crowd to “rise up and fight back.”
“Look at us, we have the numbers,” she said.
She also faced controversy in the news for a tweet posted a year ago stating: “Plz Allah give me strength to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today.”
While these remarks alarmed many Canadians, they pale in comparison to a statement numerous sources forwarded to the Sun that Khogali appears to have posted on Facebook in late 2015.
“Whiteness is not humxness,” the statement begins. “infact, white skin is sub-humxn.” The post goes on to present a genetics-based argument centred on melanin and enzyme.
“White ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual,” the post reads towards the end. “white ppl need white supremacy as a mechanism to protect their survival as a people because all they can do is produce themselves. black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to.”’
LOL…apparently his sacking and oppression is due to him being black.

We’ve done this before
Its a “co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto”
and It’s old
Here’s a Feb 2017 tweet complaining about it
I can’t see how that one person represents the UK org
but that Gary marxist guy who does is another thing.
You clearly don’t listen to what BLM UK say….and Russian revolution 1917…and yet somehow still relevant as is the ideology…alive and thriving….with a bit of help from its friends. Do you think the founders of BLM have changed their opinions as they come on the BBC demanding violent revolution?
Look if we are talking about BLM UK
it’s perfectly OK to point at marxist Gary McFarlane as representing them
and his TalkRadio rant on YouTube.
but it’s not OK to dig up this mad Toronto woman’s Facebook racism from 2015.
http://archive.fo/yzMBd
What is interesting is the way she never apologised, and was years after feted by the Canadian establishment.
That would seem to indicate
that the liberal establishment uses BLM for virtue signalling rather than truly caring about anti-racism.
Drive in concerts cancelled
All this week Radio Lincolnshire have been plugging the set of concerts at the Lincolnshire Showground
… then all of a sudden the organisers have cancelled them
citing “unworkable, Covid19 restrictions”
Seems all national venues have been cancelled
cos the organisers could insure against local lockdowns.
I did not see PMQs, but my old neighbour, as conservative a Tory as could be imagined, said earlier that Boris was waffling, buffoon like and generally appeared to have no brief.
Quelle Suprise….
Not true today
see his jibe about Starmer having more briefs than Calvin Klein.
Stew I had it on the digital wireless and the klein line was very well rehearsed . He waffled and blustered and has thar care free thing that PMs with big majorities have ,
The best bit was Scots bunter doing a just a minute of 5 on behalf of the people of Scotland . I’d boiled the kettle and made me tea by the time he mentioned billy Wallace …
Cant understand the Scottish Bunter – as he loathes the set up at Westminster so much every time he opens his mouth, why doesn’t he just stand as a Scottish Parliament member and be amongst his own kind ? (then I wouldn’t have to look at his pudgy face anymore) – why does he put me in mind of a tell tale tit at school ?
Ally Ross TV column nails it …………. Spot on !!!!
HOW television works (Part 2,372).
Someone a BBC1 continuity announcer described as “the wonderful Maxine Peake” starred in last week’s Talking Heads, a fortnight after sharing an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory about George Flloyds death with the independent.
Miriam Margolyes returns to the Beeb shortly, with her Almost Australian travelogue, despite telling Channel 4’s Last Leg she wanted the Prime Minister to die of coronavirus.
But actor Laurence Fox is unemployable and considered a public pariah, by the industry, because he told Question Time that Britain was “the most tolerant, lovely country in Europe”.
One rule for one, quite another for Corbynistas.
Laurence Fox may be faced with no option but to stand for Parliament if he cannot get work as an actor.
Oh dear! Current PM has trouble stringing coherent sentences together without deviation, hesitation or repetition. He gets an MP in Parliament who is a trained actor.

No Covid deaths in Greater Lincolnshire area
in the last two weeks.
Good news, Stew. What rate are infections running at?
Down in Kent, the infection rate seems to be averaging in the mid-teens now that they count other tests as well. 20 more today.
Sorry don’t know about cases
..and when they started the local hospital delayed reporting for days
Still never me anyone who had it.
Thinking Aloud on Radio 4 today at was about strategic ignorance. I presume it was Laurie Taylor introducing it. He used the example of the Government Covid briefings and I think it was Matt Hancock. He claimed that Matt Hancock had deliberately not been briefed about things so that he could tell reporters grilling him, that he didn’t know the answer.
I am not saying that it was true or otherwise. But Mr Taylor gave no evidence at the head of the programme to show this was true and I did what I so often do. I switched off.
PS Taylor could have used examples from the Labour Party under Blair where it was as plain as a pike staff that strategic ignorance was going on, or claimed to be.
Deborah It’s Thinking Allowed
I did listen, it was social Common Room stuff , sneering at people outside
The topic it wilful Ignorance
Knowledge Resistance: How We Avoid Insight from Others
They basically said ‘It’s them over there, them conservatives
They are immune to info challenges their assumptions, demand too much evidence
but believe anecdotes ‘
2min in “by DRINKING THAT BLEACH you can prevent Covid19 ..some people believe that”
Yep They opened an item on ignorance by making that daft claim
FFS there aren’t any real people that believe that
Expert “The reason why rightwing groups oppose Climate Change is cos it’s been framed as progressive/leftist way”
Laurie smirking “It’s no good telling religious conservatives that addressing Climate change will lead to a more equal world
tell them respect nature it’s created by God”
expert “yes we need to work on WHO says something, cos we know that is more important than what is said ”
… FFS patronising idea that conservatives can’t be logical
Then sneers at Daily Briefing saying ministers didn’t know facts, and often ministers asserted ignorance to avoid blame (he didn’t mention Hancock by name)
Next woman The usual digs , Murdoch bashing, Grenfell Tower, Trump, Cummings etc.
It was a fair point to say that Grenfell residents warnings were ignored as if council wanted not to hear.
Hmm structured Ignorance might be deliberately talking about grooming gangs .. the prog didn’t mention that.
There was something in her idea that bosses are deliberately set to be distant, so that they can claim ignorance when something goes wrong.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000ktyc
Laurie “liberals dismisses Brexiteers and (sneer) Trump voters as lacking knowledge
but you say thing is wrong why’s that ?”
Expert – “Education doesn’t confer knowledge”
Then she says on phonehacking, Murdoch was very lucky he got away with it .
WTF He spent millions on clever lawyers and sacrificed one newspaper.
Laurie ended by sneering at MP’s integrity
FFS that’s horrible
cos actually a few do work hard in all parties.
Gosh Stew, you must have been feeling strong to listen . I still miss the Radio 4 as in what it used to be. I used to learn about the world as I did the cooking and ironing. But as you can tell by my posts, my fingers twitch towards the ‘on’ button, then I listen to a couple of minutes, think I have heard enough indoctrination and switch off,
Deb I was biking from village to village
and had R4 in my ear.
I can’t find any info on the Parliament page about whether the compulsory face mask thing has to be put to a vote in the House. I would have thought that it was covered by the Lockdown legislation & provisions that was passed way back at the end of March.
Anyone know for sure?

There’s a wonderful headline pic for the Covid-19 stats update: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274

Interesting casting.

While the evil Beeb and our idiot ‘feminists’ defend the veil as ’empowering’, REAL feminists like Yasaman face torture, prison and death in Covid-infested jails for the right NOT to wear the symbol of islamic oppression of women.
I wonder if the beeb will be reporting her case and whether there’ll be worldwide riots in the streets? ‘Course not, only Black Lives Matter.
“Yasaman is a 24-year-old women’s rights activist serving nine years in prison. She peacefully protested against Iran’s laws forcing women to wear the veil. She has faced intense interrogation, solitary confinement and abuse. Now she faces further threat. The severe outbreak of coronavirus in Iran puts Yasaman’s health and safety at risk. Join us today and help put pressure on the Iranian authorities to release her immediately.”

Apologies if already covered somewhere above.
There is a Coronavirus outbreak in Blackburn.
The BBC give it full local coverage.
And in the whole item the only white British person, ironically, is the BBC journalist.
It turns out 97 out of 114 positive tests are for people of ‘South Asian’ origin.
It’s probably all due to us racist whities again.
Still.
Celebrate the diversity. Embrace multiculturalism.
Local paper has that claim
Also Channel4 news woman
One of the good things about Schools teachers have more time to listen to the BBC and form the kind of self-opinions (as fact) you hear on the BBC every day. The unhinged drama queens from the mad cap Liberals to out and (all out), Trotsky party of the loony (often BBC semi-employed) left are the Teachers (unsurprisingly Guardian readers) still on LOCK-DOWN on an inspired ‘strike’ unless they are completely protected from the ‘children’ (who have lots of nasty viruses) and come from ‘working class’ or ‘respectable parents’ mirroring their own prejudices.
And where else can you get three months paid holiday doing the gardening and crossword? whilst organising ‘BLAME’ recruits or ‘Vegetarians against VEGANS’ marches and ‘Global annihilation via Twitter Storm’ and worship of the Great GRETA ‘godhelpus’. You have to be part of the loony crazy left to believe in any of it. And they at HMG wonder why they cannot attract the right quality of ‘teachers’. After all they have all been to Uni (did nothing but got stoned and got a 40% pass in a subject they often seem to lost in passing). Seem to ‘Hate Kids’, many of them do, no children see.. The loathing gets worse over time I am told. Its not my experience, but hey what do I know about education and parenting.
Very few (Teachers) ever get sacked, and they live in world of left wing ideology and a feeling of supreme deference to ‘FADISMS’ promoted by the BBC in (helpful) pint sized teacher DIY ‘manuals’ of how to grow your own class warfare kit. In short dear reader, most teachers are fantasists of their own importance and self certified significance to ‘change a child life’ in circumstance or the worse (and on occasions for the better if they ignore the BBC types). And as Boris has found out, they (most Unionised lefty Teachers – won’t go back into ‘school’ unless it is proved ‘SAFE!’ Even Keir Starmer (new SupeHero replacement) agrees ‘schools are NOT safe’ places. Full of nasty children who cough and splutter.. Schools are not all safe from some left influences, Universities were first, now it all Schools for left wing conformity and FADS.
But if I was a child, and i was one once. I would be more afraid of the (state sponsored) child indoctrination that is being taught over and above parents protests and instincts to protect their own children from harm from this new gender ‘Science’ where Darwin is effectively ‘banned’ and you cannot even discuss it without being called a sexist. . Teachers all have CRB and DBS checks every three (or less years) and they check each others movements, so if your finger is delayed on putting a plaster on a child fingers and its the wrong skin colour, a dilemma that can only be solves by a school report of an ‘incident’ is totally normal in woke school circles. Unfortunately what the state is asking them to do is harm children for gratification of the the few who would harm children given the chance. And if a BBC sponsored (Children In Need) charity, then what harm can that do?
So do teachers harm children? They have been permitted to ‘teach’ gender theory as a ‘Science’ starting this September (despite all parent protests) they are going ahead and making it mandatory this September. If you thought Biology was taught at Schools based on the real Facts of DARWIN (as proven true), it no longer applies in schools. Its all been replaced with ‘hurt’, ‘touch’ and ‘sensations’ in stimulating your body to be ‘whatever’ sex and positions you want to be.
The BBC have been promoting under age sex with minors for twenty years, and possibly longer, now for the first time BBC policy of abolishing the notion of ‘sex’ – completely – is being taught to our children starting this September 2020 when the children go back. Teachers will have been preset and primed to warn children to to ‘diss’, ‘pronouns’ or even complain when boys appear the girls washrooms, or Girls suggesting suddenly they are ‘boys’ because the teacher said so. So therefore they are (apparently) all boys suddenly. Or both. Or not either.
Children will live to regret it and many already have when they thought they were little Mermaids*. It is disinformation at the highest level and i blame the BBC in large part for again abusing children to insist they take part in ‘adult games’.
You can protest (like me), sign below – but its already been decided by the heads of education petitions have been ignored. Police have been primed to react to ‘hate crimes’ by your children. The Teachers are only partly to blame as they really don’t have a choice in this matter. There is no ‘opt-out’ for parents or teachers, so to object is an automatic ‘hate crime’.. If you do object you get the Twitter hate mail from the same crowd that promote it. If you object (and I do strongly) please sign here:
Please support 100% safeguarding of children
Starting in September 2020 All UK schools must comply with this new form of child abuse.:

Mask thing is BS cos it’s the same MAGICAL THINKING that we see on Global Warming
There is a full colour complex situation,
but they feed you magic simple black and white one dimensional solutions
.. “All we have to do is wear a mask, and everything will be OK”
The dead give away is when people are religiously simple
“It’s a no brainer” (a ridiculous phrase)
You can always tell REAL solutions cos they come with proper depth and maths rather that bland assumptions
On Climate we get ..”All we need is wind and solar”
So we feed them a huge grant
and the next things we know they are chopping down a forest
“Gotta do that to make space for the solar panels”
See the flipside of that magical thinking is The Law Of Unforeseen Circumstances
. It is naive to assume there are zero negatives with public mask use
For masks
#1 Show us the bodies
.. who the heck caught Covid in a shop ?
#2 Where’s the maths ?
If there only 5,000 cases in the whole country the vast majority being in hospitals & care homes . What is the chance the guy 2m behind you in the supermarket for 1 minute has it ?
#3 When does it end ?
You can’t introduce a rule, without specifying that
Are we still going to wearing then when there are 2 cases in the whole country ?
My guess those Mask-faithful are sitting there wearing condoms all day, to make sure they don’t accidentally make someone pregnant.
\\#3 When does it end ?//
Not in the near future. Unless there happens to be a huge drop in respect for the law, which is unlikely.
….
Do I still have to highlight my sarcasm ?
BTW Detailed info skimmed past within many BBC progs often debunks the BBC’s own dogma
The health prog explained we should never look at health problems like Covid in terms of skin colour
The BBC like to say that BAME are more vulnerable
and is possible that certain African genotypes might have more vulnerability
but the there is much more diversity with African genotypes than there is between white and Afrcians
so it is likely that other sets of African genotypes might have good resistance.
So by lumping all together by skin colour, the BBC is lumping resistant African groups with vulnerable African groups etc.
Well the BBC shouldn’t be lumping all age groups together either
cos older white people are way more vulnerable than average black younger people of course.
Skin colour – the monogenes idol of the bBBC, and friends.
You can’t be a POC and not completely understand every other POC unless you’re an Uncle Tom, however big the planet is.
I genuinely have an Uncle named Tom and he’s not interested in any of this sh*t (his words) or black, so I’m very confused.
The BBC’s article on the firing of Nick Cannon by ViacomCBS is extraordinary in its attempts to downplay the incident.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53415314
“US TV host fired by MTV owner in anti-Semitism row” states the BBC headline. The BBC has said that it’s proud of not being neutral on racism and will call it out when they see it. I guess they just don’t want to see it when it’s black on white.
Much of the article is given over to Cannon’s claims that he’s actually the victim here of systemic racism and oppression. The reader doesn’t find out that Cannon said anything at all about white people until the end of the article. Then we’re told that he “suggested white people were less than black people”. That’s it. Apparently the BBC decided we didn’t need to know that he called white people “savages”, that he also said “the only way that they can act is evil” and that whites “have to rob, steal, rape, kill in order to survive”.
I don’t believe this article even made the BBC’s main news page. Meanwhile, at the time of writing, a black magazine editor claims he was racially profiled by a security guard and the BBC is outraged enough to make this their third most important story.
lol…..BBC really being dishonest by omission there…..all they say about his astonishing anti-white outburst is…‘Cannon was also criticised for comments that suggested white people were “less” than black people.’…..something lost in translation there as he called them true savages, animals, evil, rapists, violent, murderous, barabaric compassionless and soulless.
The BBC must have done a bit of editing
cos the preview window now says
I checked for edits but it’s not on Newssniffer and wasn’t on internet archive

Only in America….AOC wants to defund the cops and spend the money on schools and social justice programmes….then, when everybody’s educated, fully aware of their rights and obligations to society, right from wrong, then there’ll be no need for laws, police or a justice system…as everybody will be self-policing…..lol…
Only in America…except……of course….the BBC is right there with AOC….wheeled in an academic ‘expert’ on prisons and the justice system…her big idea was to close the prisons, defund the police to pay for all these programmes that will put all the crims on the right path…all they need is a shove in the right direction. Prisons don’t work, the police are racist and don’t work…the jusitice system is racist and doesn’t work…shut ’em all down and use the money for rainbows and unicorns.
BBC presenter went right along with it….nothing new there.
I guess by that, then Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a very, very, lapsed Roman Catholic and hasn’t been near a sermon or the Bible for many years. She’s also not been a parent yet and had to teach a very young child.

Food section apart, I think today’s BBC Home Page has totally new items on it. As Mottie would say: “Quite remarkable.” Yesterday, the w-s Home Page carried items over one week old.
Up2 – maybe those 33 ‘quality controllers ‘ who run the website from Birmingham have realised there jobs are on the line …. I bet they still bury the Muslim attacks against us in the ‘local ‘ news though …
Not the BBC especially, but more about potilics*: with news of the UK employment numbers today, will the Labour Party under Sir Keir suddenly rediscover Unemployment for the first time in 23 years?
* deliberate typo
The plastic statue in Bristol has been removed. What Al Beeb and the middle class yoonee students can’t see is that all the trashing and Marxism is turning more and more ordinary hard working people against the Labour Party and the state broadcaster. It is driving back race relations in Britain backwards by decades. The idiots can’t see that they live in the best country in the world . If they are discontented why haven’t they emigrated ? Nothing stops them. Al Beeb continues on its course as it knows it’s end is nigh . Readers of this site could hasten its death by defunding the bloated broadcaster. Cancel the Telly Tax that robs from pensioners to pay the rich.
Someone needs to be brave enough to point this out…
That statue flattered her.
How about a quick review of some of those non-headline items on our newspaper front pages –
In time-honoured BBC-style we’ll begin with The Guardian and the latest instalment of their Black History Wall Chart giveaway. Guardian readers have been collecting this all week and my guess is the only way a black person will get to see one is when the teachers unions relent to finally let the kids go back to school then Miss can pin one on the notice board for little Wesley and Aman to admire.
There’s female interest and cod psychiatry in the Telegraph as they advertise the story of a woman who claims her autism landed her a top City job. That could be taking quota recruitment to an extreme. You would think the financial sector would prioritise audit skills – but perhaps that’s a similar thing?
The Metro is a left-leaning liberal commuter freebie that has to have been bled dry of advertising lately so of course HM Government teams up in partnership with it to produce what they immodestly term ‘…our brilliant series covering everything you need to know to enjoy a fun-packed, safe summer’. See centre pages for part 1.
I notice the totalitarian slogan “All Together” – wait a minute, didn’t Danny Kaye sing the lines All Together, All Together… in the tale of the the King With No Clothes? That’s right, as Hans Christian Anderson, he told the kids the fairy tale about the swindlers who told the KIng this is a magic mask – sorry magic suit – they conned his majesty by telling him, you being very wise can see how beautiful it is… The Metro’s artwork is all rainbows and sunshine but I’m dubious – since when did the Government ever bring us anything fun-packed?
Maybe they could have a wall chart with names of coloured people in the UK killed by other coloured people with a points system for ‘cause ‘ and ‘weapon’ … might be useful if the little darlings do sums anymore …..
If you are coloured are you more likely to die violently or win the lottery – discuss
Not the BBC but potilics* – again. According to the fp of the Daily Telegraph, the PM will join the Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, in a call for people to return to work and commute.
Is that to prevent an extremely expensive State bail-out of an insolvent Transport for London?
*typo is deliberate
TOADY Watch #1 – Did I detect a hint of delight in the voice?
Ladies Day at TOADY. Listened for half-an-hour from about 6 a.m. and discovered that in the Conservative Party there is trouble at t’mill. A Tory MP has had the Whip removed for kicking Chris Grayling’s shoe, which was already under the Chair of the Intelligence & Security Committee away and allowing a Labour MP to sit there instead.
I thought I detected a slight hint of delight in Martha’s or Mishal’s voice when they relayed that as part of the first look at the newspapers.
Correction, not a Labour MP as Chair of the I&SC – that’s what I was told by the BBC last night and it stuck – apparently the shoe kicker got the Chair but lost the Whip.
I spotted your error and have added it to my little collection of upsnuff mistakes file …..
… parliament goes on its hols soon – Young Julian will be off the naughty step soon after – especially when he sees some of the stuff the big boys don’t want us to know about ….
He ll get some nice presents for his ‘long public ££££££ Service ‘ as well – which is nice isn’t it ?
Fed, that must be a large drawer or two, full of files in a cabinet you have hidden away there. I may want to hold the HoC and HoL and the BBC to account – ensure that they are ‘Up To Snuff’ – but I do the regular blooper and plenty of whoopsies of my own now and then.
Big question, where are maxi, Piku and Wild Woman when you need them?
AWOL.
Again!
Up2
I target the occasional troll bomb but they are as accurate as a drone rocket trying to take out a 20 year old schoolgirl – cum terrorist – enemy of the west – who for some unaccountable reason is still alive – …can’t they just give her to the Kurds or Americans ?
I had a job once of compiling /drafting complex policy across many disciplines and ‘skill sets ‘ – like herding cats – I could never get it right but in the end published and got damned ….( by a very few ) and learnt that it one heard nothing I must have been doing something right – or jusr being ignored … stopped reading this yet ….?
Crony Capitalism
‘Banks propose ‘student loans style’ scheme to avoid job losses’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-53424755
‘UK banks fear that up to 800,000 businesses could go bust in the next year if they are unable to defer repayments on government-backed loans.’
‘Banks want the scheme to be administered by HM Revenue and Customs.’
Of course they do.
You mean businesses might take the money, pay it all to themselves, and then say “There’s no money left” just like a famous Labour Treasury Minister stated on leaving office?
Well, there’s a surprise.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez please note: there’s an example of original sin from the UK.
How will the BBC deal with Julian Lewis ? He is the chap who has just got control of the intelligence committee with the help of Labour and the national socialist SNP after beating failing grayling – the number 10 candidate ?
You might remember that the Intell committee was run by a leading remainer traitor ( grieve )who lost his seat And his honour – in the election – but has ever since been screaming for a certain report about alleged Russian involvement in British politics to be released . The governments have been sitting on it for over 6 months …( just like paki paedo gangs and the Priti report and the effects of covid on ethnics – recommendations ) ….
Mr Lewis has always come over as the MP for the Navy . Whilst grayling has come over as a disaster – with one contract he signed off on costing – if I recall – £250 million taxpayers cash (virgin rail ?) …
Yes – I know it’s bubble politics – but it’s those sort of events which give us a clue as to how the BBC operates to undermine any thing which doesn’t fit its agenda … they’ll link it to Dominic Cummings somehow ….
PS – I smell a convoluted game of chess where number 10 got their man in by clandestine methods …..
PPS – looking at Chris grayling on the wiki – it seems he was born on April 1st – and the rest of the entry testifies to the truth of that day …..
I was considering popping out to the shops but I need some advice – is the high street already looking like mass open auditions for a remake of Doctor In The House?
Bit like Rag Week in the Cities of London and Southwark. Students have or had something of a predilection for dressing up as Doctors and Nurses. Mind you, some of them (at Guy’s and St Tom’s) were already on the way to becoming same.
Asiseeit
I took a plane ride earlier in the week and the cabin looked like a bunch ( conspiracy ) of doctors on their way to a ‘fleece the patient ‘ convention in a golf resort …
LOL x 5! Very good. 🙂
Not BBC- but BT sport
Presenters wearing multiple political badges – little onscreen political messages during footy games – a website with a separate political section …..The coverage of the kneeling moment ….” sending out a powerful message “ ….
I wonder if the shareholders were consulted on this approach ? I also understand that BT has given a sizeable chunk of money to the political movement ( which I refuse to name ) – as much as 10 million pounds ….
Those little things that tell us so much
The Post Office boast of a special offer
‘NHS staff save 20% when sending money to over 200 countries worldwide, with MoneyGram.’
Mass immigration was supposed to both support the NHS and help the UK economy. Seems the latter is not so much with large cashflows disappearing overseas.
AISI, the truth comes out in dribs and drabs.
Back in the days of Labour Party in Government and Jonathan Dimbleby on Any Questions and Any Answers, they had a businessman on the Panel, a BAME immigrant or child of same, who had made very good – despite disadvantages in this evil, wicked, racist, white country – and had become CEO of a money transmission company. In the course of the programme, this gent let slip that his business transfered around £6bn (in the late 90’s!) to the Indian sub-continent a year, alone, ie. Africa, Australasia, Carib, Europe/Russia, F.East & N.&S.America not included.
On the plus side, the gentleman (sorry, cannot remember his name or the name of Co.) did point out that the money did far more good than the equivalent Aid Budget money because it went directly to relatives who might use it for education or health or to start businesses.
Similar with crypto currencies like Bitcoin.
Chinese citizens are restricted on how much money they can take out of the country.
Simple solution – buy some Bitcoins and send your sprog to university overseas. They can then cash it in and buy whatever Dad needs/wants.
Many years ago I went to Shanghai for a day. I was not expecting to see 3 Bentleys parked outside the hotel (4*) that my client had put me up in. There is certainly a lot of loose change in the Chinese system.
Bet she fair guns it past Rotherham.
Rotherham? Where is that? Surely you mean Rotherhithe?
Jim, Sheila would gun it past Rotherhithe, too. Trust me!
‘and it still shocks.’
Need to enjoy a shock, luv…?
Watch a horror movie.
But we all know what’s really going on here – you’re signalling virtue and making a political point.
The real ‘shock’ ought to be that so many buildings in the UK have been clad in a similar way to comply with the ‘green’ agenda.
That is a story that the BBC has ignored, preferring instead to promote the idea that a ‘tory’ local authority, under a ‘tory’ government, set out to construct a vertical fire chamber for the mass extermination of BAMEs.
There is missing the point.
There is BBC missing the point.
And then there is BBC editorial integrity.
