    Essay from RT : conflicts of interest between judges at the European Court of Human Rights and NGOs funded by George Soros.
    “The study has found that, out of the 100 judges who have served on the bench of the ECHR in the period 2009-2019,
    nearly a quarter (22) have strong links to George Soros’ Open Society Foundation or to NGOs like Amnesty International and others which are funded by it.
    Human Rights Watch, for instance, has received $100 million from the Open Society Foundation since 2010.

    Some of the NGOs receive so much of their budget from Soros that they are in effect wholly owned subsidiaries of his foundation.”

      It is an interesting statement by Dimbleby. It is the same argument used by the Democrats in the US re the appointment of the judge to the Supreme Court, ie unless the potential appointee has Left wing views they cannot be appointed.

    Up here, on radio bbbc Newcastle today, in the North East, we’ve been constantly told that last week 1,800 students have covid.

    They did not ask these 3 related questions or at least they didn’t tell us the answers.

    1. How many of these 1,800 are in hospital.
    2. How many of these 1,800 are in intensive care.
    3. How many of these 1,800 died.

    I think we all know the answers.
    My guess:
    0
    0
    0
    and I’d be extremely surprised if that was not the case.

      On Toady they interviewed a head honcho at Durham Uni, reference crappy food parcels for those self-isolating.

      Said head honcho said that those not in isolation were allowed to go around but were recommended to keep in the University precincts and not go into the city pubs, shops, bars etc.

      The Toady useless presenters didn’t pick up on this, which is a lead in to the concept of managed student mass but essentially harmless outbreaks aka herd immunity.

      It can’t work everywhere, but defined colleges and campus universities could surely allow for partying to continue, let everyone get covid and by the end of term almost all will be immune and can go home safely, and Easter term can proceed quite normally.

      Apart from the mainstream media censorship of hospital admissions and deaths by Covid-19. I also found out that Influenza deaths are currently running at over ten times that of Covid deaths. Also censored is that the death rate of Spanish Flue was over 400 times more lethal than the Covid-19 death rate. Scientists like Professor Karol Sikora are also being attacked by the Civil Service for not being alarmist. Like Climate Change, posh liberal left-wing morons are using censorship to stoke up fear. So Covid-19 is probably not a Chinese plot, but part of a CIA plot by Gina Haspel, part of Project Fear. See “The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear”.

      Also there is a suggestion that Boris Johnson has suffered brain damage due to low oxygen levels when he was ill. This would explain why he is now pushing for Jeremy Corbyns “Green Socialist” Utopia for 2030. However, Boris says its Clement Attlee’s “Build the New Jerusalem” Utopia he now supports.

      However, before Gina Haspels plot to damage the brain of Boris Johnson, Boris supported Winston Churchill, not Clement Attlee.

    Few things are more important than obliterating the BBC. The UK will never be a better country as long as the majority of sheep trust BBC. But this is more than a right-ving/left-wing isssue. The BBC’s pandering to the woke mob, islamism, and globalist multiculturalism is horrible. But lefties have their grudges as well (unfair treament of Corbyn, not covering Tory government incompetence and corruption enough, etc.)

    BBC is not primarily left(right) wing, but the propaganda arm of the globalist ruling elite and the Deep State. They are liars and deceivers and their main goal is to sneak in propaganda lies among truthful reporting (to make it easier to hide them). And to omit and suppress facts and stories that is a threat to the Establishment Narrative.

    On the surface it looks like BBC have a left-wing bias. But looking more closely, they are just pushing the globalist’s Elite agenda (multiculturalism, no borders, dismantle the nation states, incite division based on race religion gender and sexual identity, destroy traditional values). And when BBC have a right-wing bias it is just other parts of the Elite’s agenda (neocon war mongering, ignore GMO risks,ignore Pharma corruption, never investigate the negative effects of so called free trade deals, etc.)

    So, to win, we only need to convince people of this. This is done by relentless hammering, calling them out for every lie, bias, and omission. It can be done. Trump went full streetfighter vs fakenews MSM in the US, and managed to undermine their credibility.

    But if we attack BBC for being left-wing, more than a third of all people will immediately stop listening. People have been arguing right vs left for 250 years. It’s old and people think they have heard it before. To get peoples attention we need to attack them on this more fundamental level.

    We need more like this BBC fakenews T-shirt:
    signsandgraphics DOT biz/bbc-fake-news-t-shirt

    More more pins, more decals, more stickers, more large PVC banners to put on the walls outside our homes. Anyone who can print to sell?

    On R4 Michael Goldfarb takes us on a little trip via Rwanda and Bosnia to President Trump (get it?) in ‘Archive on 4’ this eve.
    Apparently the President chats to Hannity of Fox News almost daily (got it?). So Fox News kinda emerges from the mists of genocide, not explicitly, but kinda, in Goldfarb’s book. So Fox are the baddies, stirring up partisan fervour, and suchlike. Who then, are the goodies? Well, Wiki tells us Goldfarb writes i.a. for the New York Times and The Guardian, so there is a clue. No partisan fervour here, of course.
    Apparently all was sweetness and light when the US had the ‘Fairness Directive’, but then came the idea there should be many voices, all working for profit/money, according to Goldfarb. The man doesn’t sound very keen on diversity of opinion. And of course, HE is not partial to money influencing broadcasting.
    We should have only the very factual beeb? This is Goldfarb’s subtle hint, although he doesn’t spell it out. It’s the “Public Srvice” broadcaster, who is virtuous.
    One of the real baddies, it seems, is Rush Limbaugh. He is a buddy of the President.
    But hark! It’s James Kumarasami on R4 News at Ten slamming America’s “First Patient” as well as – who would have thought it?- Rush Limbaugh. There it is, almost seamless.
    Goodness, now this is continuity at its best! R4, you DO spoil us!

      A very large number of awards have been given to public sector people ‘for services to turning up for work and doing what they are supposed to do’.

      Usually, hidden away from the high profile ‘newsworthy’ awards, I bet you’ll find that knighthoods and CBEs are given to 5+ times more public sector workers than private sector workers. It’s recompense for the low public sector salaries and job security. No, really.

      And get ready for awards for our NHS heroes, working on the front line, who got the virus.
      The words are carefully chosen. Almost none of them actually caught it on the front line of course, but elsewhere, in the same ways and same proportions as the rest of us. But the truth is rather less heroic than the reality.

        Out of 36 knighthoods and damehoods I counted, precisely 2 were wealth-creating private sector types. One of whom, Emma Warmsley, the CEO of GSK has only been in post for 5 minutes but crucially of course is female.
        The other 34 are to arty types, professors, and civil servants.

        “A very large number of awards have been given to public sector people ‘for services to turning up for work and doing what they are supposed to do’.”

        Yes, but I’ve concluded that there is another subtlety at work. Pursuance of distinctions in a working role, is more designed to again, see them as ‘oppressed victims’ by promoting the idea that some elements are considered just, ‘putting themselves out’ or, ‘going that extra mile’. The ‘distinction’ makes them isolated as heroes by ‘going above, the call of duty’.

    TOADY Watch #1 – A Fig-leaf from Figueres

    I managed a listen from 7 a.m. today up until the adverts came on. Books, records, the BBC will be flogging sofas soon.

    So far so good, too, from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and Christiana who, despite being pressed three times by JustRemainIn Webb, the ExSec refused to criticise China and its CO2 emissions. The Chinese will get it all sorted by 2060 and are on track to do so. They have promised and Christiana the ExSec believes the Chinese will always keep their word.

    That was notable.

    Of course, in the unreal world, we only have three months to save the world from Climate Change, not forty years. We also only have one year to do it according to XR, ten years to do it according to Harrabin and shouldn’t really bother according to most people.

    A extract from an email update from the Government with regard to Postal Votes and Electoral Fraud:
    “The Government does not support all-postal voting, which would increase fraud risks, and remove choice from voters who wish to cast their vote in person. However, the Government has no plans to abolish the postal vote system in its current form and Lord Pickles’ report did not propose the removal of postal voting on demand. Postal voting enables many people to cast their vote who may otherwise not be able to vote. Many other voters find it a convenient way to cast their vote that fits in with busy lifestyles for people who work or have caring commitments. That said, we continue to look at ways to develop the process to ensure postal voting remains secure.

      Many (covered up) stories about US mail voting fraud in particular but here the parliament petition “Scrap ‘On-Demand’ Postal Voting, & Create Strict Eligibility Criteria” only received 10,419 signatures. People are either unaware of the extent of UK electoral fraud (also covered up by the media) or have rightly come to the conclusion that these petitions are pointless. The big question is why UK ‘Conservatives’ are unwilling to address the issue with more vigour. The answer may be fear of confronting the particular group(s) of predominantly Labour voters, to whom deception is second nature, involved in vote rigging.

    There were moments of unintentional humour. The ‘interview’ (Ie cosy fireside chat) with the Mayor of Liverpool, where Covid is pretty much uncontrolled, was a throwback to the 80s. He was playing the politics of Covid like a good Militant Tendency supporter would do. Denying responsibility for anything and blaming the evil Tories. Liverpool entitlement/ grievance at its finest.

    The question which was just ringing out to be asked was ‘well, what would you do?’

    My contribution to monitoring the BBC is to focus on its website outputs.

    I have noticed a restructuring of the BBC’s African News Section – the BBC are now focusing much more on Africa and in recent days have been promoting and campaigning for civil unrest and revolution in various African states. For example in Malawi they have been pushing for a feminist revolution of the police force. In Nigeria they have been pushing for a youth revolution for a change in the government and a change in their policing. The Nigerian government have been fighting an Islamic insurgency and the BBC’s focus is on attacking the government and ignoring or being sympathetic to the insurgency.

    In addition to this a few days ago the BBC reported on white farmers in South Africa, but their focus was on calling them racist thugs:

    2020-10-10-1013-Africa-story-a.jpg
    2020-10-10-1013-Africa-story-a3.jpg
    .
    .
    As far as I can see the BBC are now part of the global movement for promoting so called color revolutions throughout the world – trying to incite the youth, university educated students and feminists into marches, demonstration and civil unrest. They have been doing this successfully in Britain, Eastern Europe, Africa, India, America, Hong Kong, Israel.

    It is no longer just a question of the TV tax that we need to be concerned with – but the revolutionary nature of the BBC as a propaganda arm for various revolutionary insurgencies throughout the world.

    Nothing to do with the BBC – I won’t watch it – but demonstrating that the power of the Left is across the board. Kids’ programme on Sky, FYI, firstly surprisingly had 3 white kids presenting so I thought how quaint. But almost immediately an item on Trump, NOT complimentary needless to say. Then a bit about a visually-impaired (white again) boy facing challenges that was quite uplifting but spoilt by the rider: “There are only 24 schools that specialise… – there use to be 25 but due to Government cutbacks one was closed”. Unrelenting, isn’t it. Nothing to do with the kids, but good for the producers to educate them on the evils of the Nazi Tory Party.

    Police and Covid marshals step up patrols on London trains in crackdown on mask flouters.
    Just 81 fines have been issued after 54,175 maskless passengers stopped. Steve White, chief operating officer for Govia Thameslink Railway, said: “We all need to wear face coverings in stations and on trains unless exempt, to protect those around us.
    “This exercise with the British Transport Police will help reinforce that message to the small minority who perhaps don’t think it matters.”
    Just on the Railways? Oh no, this dangerous intervention to peoples freedom/democracy will not bode well-already the Prime Minister has said Covid Marshalls will enforce pavement rules! whatever they are specifically. Asda have recruited 1000 new marshalls to police their stores-I know many of you will not like where this is going or could go-control and more control surreptitiously entering our society. Coronavirus is being used as the sepping stone to inflict more public control-to what end? You may well ask.

      Just a, ‘practice run’ for when the Government get the instruction from their Globalist/Marxist masters to shut everything down by way of a curfew. They’re just sorting out the ‘bugs’ in this practice run. That’s what all services practice if they want a smooth transition from one thing to another. Mild at the moment so as to not really scare the natives.

    Then – an advert for the UAE telling us about girls cycling – direct feeds from the UAE propaganda department to the BBC propaganda department – the biggest of them all.

    Then the French correspondent – spokesman for the EU talking about the French driving test and accepting the corruption of the French system without challenge – its just ‘French ‘.

    He didn’t say you could bung an examiner but it wasn’t far off – it had echoes of those occasional third worlders here who personate in the test or third worlders who become tick box examiners to feather their nests ….

    Christ almighty, I just don’t recognise my country anymore. This once green and pleasant land is now a bloody miserable place to live.
    Kim Yong Krankie has locked down great chunks of Scotland, so you know darned well that the Downing Street buffoon will be doing much the same to England. Where Krankie and Whitty lead, Dobbin Johnson follows…

    To sweeten the pill he’ll send out Squealer Hancock (God, how I loathe that repulsive creature) to explain how necessary it is and how it’s all for our own good. You know, it really wouldn’t surprise me if he started addressing us as “Comrades”.

    I have to pinch myself to realise this is a “Conservative” government with a healthy majority. The far left have never won an election, never even got close… and yet…

    Here we are with a deliberately strangled economy. Businesses closing, our freedoms but a memory. I see pathetic, terrified people shuffling about in masks and visors. FFS, there are even state paid henchmen attempting to see who you have in your own house. What are their powers? Will they be able to burst into your home? Perhaps they’ll be like body bailiffs. Instead of making off with your new telly, they’ll drag out your aged aunt Martha. “Sorry mate, one too many, she’ll have to go…”

    This is the country that we used to cheerfully refer to as Blighty! We looked askance at the Eastern Block. Shook our heads in dismay and disbelief at events in the Soviet Union and East Germany. It could never happen here, we smiled. How wrong we were. Every passing day this country feels more like North Korea.

    And what does our infantile, half witted PM do for his latest tricks? He makes an insensible, tilting at windmills speech about green energy. I mean, talk about fiddling while Rome burns… and awards all the useless arty farty lefties, climate fanatics, Covid hysterics and folk who loathe Brexit with MBEs.

      Not everyone is buying it. ‘Everhopeful’ says: “The destruction of this country wrought by successive governments in pursuit of their disgusting policies is an affront to all.
      And that is no “conspiracy theory” nor is it “silly“…because we all see the damage every single day. And the anger is mounting.”

    I ran it back and counted.

    Not counting a brief mention of Tom Moore, ( only in the context of how he inspired some Muslim honour winner to walk round the garden ‘even during ramadan’ ) they showed pictures of and mentioned one white British person ( some YouTube fitness video person I had never heard of) and one white American sounding person who was briefly interviewed.

    In contrast, four bame people were heavily featured three of whom ( two black one Muslim) had quite lengthy interviews. Don’t forget a picture of a nursing team consisting of only black/african nurses.

    OK, how many coal miners working at the coal face 3′ high were awarded an honour, how many lorry drivers / power workers / fishermen can boast even an OBE.

He did more for the Community than any of that shower who get them now, and never got so much as a thank you. Marcus Rashford makes one statement and he’s a f……g hero. Bollocks.

      and before I knew it, a helicopter was landing and I was awarded an OBE.

      FFS The honours are supposed to generally reward the recognised after years of service.
      – Those already rewarded like gold medal winning sports stars, pop stars don’t need an extra gong.
      Maybe the coaches and those who ran after school clubs for years do.
      – Those who did something for Covid ..it’s too early they haven’t done a lifetime of service .. and anyway most have been awarded by the TV companies already.
      – Finally people shouldn’t get awards for JUST DOING THEIR JOB.

    Some more biased tripe spewed by the Beeb with their story today.
    ‘The lack of ethnic diversity at the top of UK companies is coming under increasing focus, with calls for change from big business groups and investors.
    Surveys continue to show that black, Asian, or minority ethnic (BAME) people are under-represented in senior positions’.
    Fine, I’m all for organisations/businesses being representative, but this is a poorly manufactured piece. If the Beeb wonders why this is (silly of me to think this, I know), it really needs to look at all sorts of matters concerning employment and provide a balanced report, but then it’s the Beeb and what should we expect.
    For example, what is the ethnic make-up of certain organisations and why is that, and what are the qualifications and qualities of job applicants. All this sort of common sense thinking flies out of the window.
    The same stupid argument seems to be peddled on Police Stop and search. All the moaners and whingers complaining that black males are more likely to be stopped by Plod and the answer is along the lines that they commit more crime. O.K. it’s not that simple, but the same wider thinking needs to be applied to the lack of ethnic diversity at the top of UK companies.
    It has nothing to do with racism, which the Beeb implies, but more to do with qualifications, experience and abilities, qualities that you would hope any employer looks for and not at skin colour.

      The Elephant in the room never mentioned on the BBC, but mentioned in the Mensa Magazine and the many books that collect IQ test studies, such as “The Bell Curve”. Is Racial differences in intelligence.

      Scientific studies show that the main reason “Black lives are less intelligent” is that Europeans, East Asians and Jews are about 15 percent more intelligent than sub-Saharan Africans and Aborigines.

      So ethnic quotas would only produce a reduction in the moral of those competent employees chosen on merit. Causing these people to leave. It would also decreased the productivity of the economy and damage the reputation of the company and the nation in the eyes of the world.

      Its also the reason that ethnic homelands are shit holes, and why therefore, they come to Britain for all this free stuff from ignorant and gullible left-wing morons, who now want to heavily over promote them to positions that they could not create for themselves in Africa, due to low IQ.
