      That’s a bit racist isn’t it Harry?

      Is he suggesting that ‘white’ people, inventors of the flushing toilet and mains drainage, would be reluctant to ‘go in the woods’, but those ‘just out of the jungle’ wouldn’t?

    History must be taught so that the contribution of Bames is not ignored. Black people have always lived in Britain and have not been recognised for their contribution to our culture.
    So we are told by the media.
    This has me thinking.
    Is it merely a product of our racism to assume that Jack the Ripper was white?
    Perhaps he was black, which was why he was not caught

      Racist…how dare you suggest that….you know all bad people are white – well on BBC anyway..
      Caught a bit on friend’s TV -helping them put up an aerial… this morning with a Black athlete being interviewed by a Black reporter (would have been insensitive to have a White or Chinese one) about a BBC commissioned report (your money) that x% of black female athletes had problems with their body image…DUH..did they interview any white female athletes to see if it was any different? of course not…that wouldn’t fit the narrative.
      The more people stop paying for this bilge the better…BBC is pushing back racism decades by making the majority of the population feel racist even when they are not and building a victim mentality for non whites – eventually it will have consequences…

        Agree 100% James Arthur-the real racists if we must us that phrase are Black People-it is they that are promoting the racist word as a means of destruction to the United Kingdom-of course over the years since the WW2 many black people have made a valuable contribution to this nation-however they are mostly of a different strain, now we have the brutality of revenge , retaliation against a white peoples past- they the Blacks conveniently forgetting their own history of slavery their ancesters undertook with the Arab slave traders thousands of years ago and still do today in many areas of the African continent . Furher the Blacks along with the USA and UK media batting for them-my concept of Britain was being brought up during and after WW2 in pre-war education and manners-the UK then was a pleasant enough place to live, the cost of living based on the lowest common earning denominator, not now! Its all gone mad, of course nothing will be as it was, as historical time moves on waiting for no man.

      Despite the BBC naming the teenagers, Judge Pringle ruled that it was not a contempt of court issue but a breach of Section 45 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.

      “At first I thought it was a clear contempt punishable with a fine of any amount. However with further research, it is a breach and I must not treat it as contempt of court but instead I must pass the matter to the chief crown prosecutor.

      I thought one got arrested, trialled and jailed within the hour for this sort of thing. Good to see that British justice can be lenient to the right sorts of people.

    This came across by computer bows recently and I thought is was so apt in the present awful circumstances we now see happening. Sums up my feelings perfectly.
    ‘POLITICS & POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

    I never cared if you were “gay’ until you started shoving it in my face, and the faces of our children.
    I never cared what colour you were, until you started blaming my race for your problems.
    I never cared about your political affiliation until you started to condemn me for mine.
    I never cared where you were born, until you wanted to erase my history and blame my ancestors for your current problems.
    I never cared if you were well-off or poor until ,you said you were discriminated against, when I was promoted because I worked harder.
    I never cared if your beliefs were different from mine, until you said my beliefs were wrong.
    Now I care!
    My patience and tolerance are wearing thin. I know I am not alone in feeling this way.
    There are millions of us who do…… and we have had enough!!

    Indeed there are millions that think the same way, and those supposedly in charge must head what is being thought and said.

      • Concrete sea says:

        This obsession with being ‘representative’ of the population seems to be everywhere. The Home Office and particularly The Police seem to be constantly wailing about it. Apparently the Police are failing in their efforts to make officers ‘more representative’ of the community they serve and like Rumplestiltskin are literally tearing themselves in half over the issue.
        Why ? It’s not as simple as just making it so. There are numerous factors which influence job seekers decisions, let alone the qualities and qualifications required. If I were burgled or mugged the last thing on my mind, if and when the Police turned up is how representative that officer is. But no, (your) money and time is wasted in favour of Policing in getting the organisation representative. I couldn’t care a hoot who turns up, their ethnicity, religion or sexuality.
        However, what will we do with those organisations who are over representative? My understanding is that the NHS is (e.g. what shall we do with all those Phillipino nurses. Sack them ?) and the Beeb is over representative. Perhaps some of those over represented reporters/ journalists could join the Police. At least it might give them an idea of the real world (appreciating, of course, a massive drop in salary).

      Perhaps the volunteers should be helping those who have been in Bristol for some time and stop abuses against some of the immigrant teenage girls. Four years ago in Bristol I know that there was a significant problem with Somali girls suffering from the consequences of the barbaric practise of FGM. Teachers in Bristol were advised how to recognise their symptons and get help for them. Although the practise was illegal it seems that British doctors were doing the operations and at that time only one doctor had been prosecuted .

    The French won’t turn back or escort illegals the their shores because of ‘safety reasons’. Obviously much safer to let them continue with their journey to the UK (apparently the water is much calmer/less deep/a nicer shade our side). However if we stump up £30 million this may persuade them to change their mind.
    Not to worry though as progress is being made.After a meeting of both sides ‘the possibilities are being considered’. What possibilities these are no one knows, but more than likely it will be November/ December when the weather has changed and we can conveniently sweep all under le tapis (until next year). As for that £30 mill, well there are hotel bills, medical expenses, provision of food and drink, Home Office expenses and admin fees to be paid.

      Move one of the laid up cruise ships from South coast and anchor it safely at sea (hoist ball, diamond, ball) on the East coast; Use Border Farce to ferry invaders to the tourist boat and house them there. To avoid the French, make the invaders tourists (buy them tickets) and when there is a ship load take them back as normal passengers to disembark in French port. The French cannot object if they don’t have passports because that is the way they came on board the tourist ship – from France.

      SG,
      Do you know anything about where the Durham investigation has got to? Everybody knows that some highly prominent figures in the US are guilty of trying to remove Trump illegally but why has there been no indictments? I had once hoped that the indictments and subsequent trials would be the knock out blow for the President and that the trials would have started earlier this year. But it is now too late in the electoral race to be of its greatest benefit. I suspect that the deep state has forced delay after delay but I had hoped that Barr would have cut through all that. I am greatly disappointed.

    John Swinney, Scotland’s education secretary has flipped over the decision to downgrade some of the grades given by teachers to 100,000 students in place of exams to try to save his skin.

    I am convinced, looking at the figures, estimated up to 10% higher then in an actual exam year that the teachers awarded grades significantly higher than would historically be the case if the students had actually taken the exams. This almost certainly done to enhance their own and their schools status. All his despite the fact that these same students have missed a significant time in class, making the results even more incredulous.

    So up to 100,000 extra students will now sally forth into higher education etc. as proud possessors of grades they could never have achieved via the exam route.

    This means a probably influx into universities of many students who will then struggle to get up to speed if at all and probably shouldn’t be there.

    But never mind, UNI is free in Scotland so everything is free and as a bonus it will help to mask the unemployment figures for the Sturgeon person won’t it?

      Oh, you can be sure, it will go on and on and on and on …

      I noticed this (non-)story on the R4 18:00 news. They had Cressida Dick (or “Caressa Dick” as someone recently called her on ‘Pointless’ … so I’m told by Mrs M!) saying how “amazing” the Lawrence family had been and how much progress had been made because of them. As you say, 27 years ago and we are still hearing about it. I hope the same attention will be given to the killers of Charlene Downes (who, IIRC, got away with it on some legal technicality, despite one actually being recorded admitting to it) and Kris Donald … but then those victims were White and that means very very low down in the hierarchy of victimhood.

      Talking of numbers which, like 27, are not divisible by 10, ‘PM’ with Evan Davis decided to do a report ‘nearly’ 40 years on about the Toxteth Riots of summer 1981. As a matter of fact, 1981 + 40 = 2021, so it’s only the 39th anniversary. Still, never miss an opportunity to go on about racism, hey BBC, with the need to keep fanning the flames of George Floyd, BLM, etc. Not a single word of the report suggested that any blame should attach to the Black people who took part in the rioting – it was all about police racism, no jobs, schools, racial abuse, etc. Almost worthless without asking such questions as, why were they out on the streets anyway and why didn’t their families get a grip of them instead of letting them smash things up?

      Then came another dream for the BBC, a pollster who has been right about US Presidential elections every time since 1984, predicting that Biden would win, as polls have moved against Trump since 2020 and Covid19. Praise for Biden’s possible VP, the mixed-race Kamala Harris, and dismissal of Trumps base as being the decreasing demographic of old White men.

      Roll on the next cricket Test match. I listen to it on R4 (LW not FM) and it’s great to go through to around 7 pm and close of play, missing ‘PM’, the 6 pm news and the ‘comedy’ offering between that and the Archers.

      By the way, I’ve been reading David Sedgwick’s “BBC: Brainwashing Britain?” (2018) which goes well with Robin Aitken’s books (“Can We Trust The BBC?” and the 2013 version “Can We Still Trust The BBC?”) and is more up-to-date, including the election of Donald Trump and Brexit for instance.

    A previous Tory Pledge . “A ‘whole of government’ approach to clamp down on illegal immigration ” …………….
    https://www.gov.uk/government/news/prime-minister-pledges-to-control-and-reduce-immigration

    That was five years ago!
    We still have mass immigration . We still have Al Beeb.
    The people of Britain are waiting and have waited for far too long . Are the politicians listening now?
    Nigel Farage , keep on ‘holding their feet to the fire’ .

        Sandford needs an interpreter – when he says ‘genuine engagement ‘ he means ‘gotchas’ or Nick Robinson running his mouth off with Tourette’s or that mentally affected Marr and his multi warheaded questions ( eg Nigel Farage )….

        Sandford might also get a clue about the view of the ‘UK public “ when one of their reporters turns up at the seaside and gets a bit of ‘treatment ‘ from the plebs who pay their wages .

    BBC Kid Propaganda talks faith…

    Has lockdown been a barrier for people and their faith – or has what’s happened this year made more people explore religion?

    The ‘people’ illustrated were very singular in demographic traits.

      Guest – that’s great – the bubble can happily talk to itself and be even more distant from enemy plebs – they might as well exchange email addresses and do it that way …

    Not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I still don’t have the balls to cancel the BBC licence, though am more and more tempted each day. OTOH, have cancelled my Scottish National Trust membership, after they hounded Neil Oliver out of it.

    In addition, have also not renewed the membership for National Geographic, which has also gone hard woke recently. Their latest email propaganda was insinuating that blacks had been denied their proper role & respect in environmental matters; specifically, in their being long time National Park supporters! Yes, I am not making this up.

    Has anyone else cancelled a membership due to this type of BS?

      I fully understand your reluctance to cancel the licence – but I found it far easier to withdraw from the TV output than I thought – and I found it mentally uplifting to be away from the brainwashing .
      When I get limited exposure now – I know I was right at Netflix does have stuff higher in quality and intelligence than any modern BBC output . For instance – I did ‘breaking bad ‘ and followed it with ‘better call Saul ‘ which I just finished . UK TV does nothing to touch these .

      Everyone has their individual circumstances – I guess families sharing a TV are more of a challenge to cancel the licence .

      As for other organisations – I’m not A member of Many but if they went ‘woke ‘ on me I’d be gone . As for radio – I barely even look at the schedule any more – yet alone listen – and I grew up with Radio 4 ….good luck

    Seems credible.

    Should it be confirmed, it will be interesting how the MSM unleash their hounds of outrage by association.

    Or… not.

      Prior to her assent to California state Senator in January 2017, Harris was the District Attorney for San Francisco (2004-2011) and the Attorney General for California (2011-2017).

      Although one person is usually not to blame for huge societal issues, California has had major issues that Harris should be held partly accountable for.

      There are many who argue that jail sentences are too lenient in California. Early release and lack of charges are identified as issues within California’s penal system.

    Just heard on my local news that several hundred fire fighters are fighting a forest fire which is “200 square meters”.

    I’m not sure how they all fit around a fire that is not even 15 meters on each side but then maths isn’t the BBCs best subject.
