A CRUEL and depraved Bradford man has been jailed for three years for having sexual intercourse with chickens Rehan Baig, 37

The blame for this must lie with white, British, people.

In the Fawlty Towers episode “The Psychiatrist” The Cleese character has “enough material there for an entire conference.”
No wonder these hominims get so upset about cartoons.

“Rehan Baig and his wife Haleema had previously also engaged in sex with a dog and possessed images of the same. They were also in possession of almost 49 indecent images and videos of children being abused-including 11 which were extremely depraved and some featuring children as young as six.”

Covid: London 10pm curfew should be scrapped, mayor says
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-54619778
This implies that London is going into a curfew from 10pm, actually ONLY shutting pubs/clubs etc
Talking of closing, any closer to closing/streamlining down the bBC??
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/election-us-2020-54588859
On the front page, before clicking the link this says “what the world wants from America” – This is from the bBC’s point of view, certainly not mine!
Fed, ‘A.Pedant’ says: –
‘It’s the 21st October 2020 today”….
(I have to know this, as it’s Senora O’Blene’s and my (thankfully) 48th Wedding Anniversary today!
As my comment on ‘Start the week’ still seems OK, I’ll pop it in here, just for good measure, like!
R5 Dead’s night-time phone in was just a Boris stab-fest, with Andy ‘Mid Staffs’ Burnham being displayed as a saint by all those performing seals ringing in and our Prime Minister being displayed as a dolt.
One wonders why a political moron like Burnham get to positions like Mare of a once-great city. He’s never had a proper job, just sucked in public money year on year since leaving school, so joins the new elite of mares like Khan who are commercially incompetent, and politically active to get their noses in the trough as soon as they can.
I just cannot see why places need mares (sic), anyway. Why aren’t the elected leaders of the councils doing the work they’re paid for? Why aren’t the representatives of the councils getting out and actually working at getting their constituents a result, instead of sitting on their arrses and pointing their grubby fingers at all and sundry.
The BBBC just love it when these posturing incompetents ‘seem’ to be getting the upper hand over our elected government, but only actually talk borrocks like 60s union leaders in a pay dispute.
BBC autocue-readers will enjoy today, nobody takes much notice though.
Scroblene – thank you for noticing – at least I got other bits right – although I think I would have preferred writing 2022……and it was early …
Mr D and I watched Mr Belfield’s rant this morning on YouTube. Shall we just say we were quite surprised at the angle he took. He was asking if there was any point in mares (sic) if the government are going to overrule them. But this was all from the point of view of poor, hard done to Andy.
I do wonder why there was a push to have local mayors. There was a drive by the Leader of Hull Council, Stephan Brady, to make the whole of Yorkshire into one area. This would mean that all ‘shires’ would be lumped in with the Labour run cities. Stephan Brady gives the appearance of someone who would have struggled to achieve an ‘o’ level in woodwork, I might add. And of course Look North gave him a lot of time to justify this idea of all of Yorkshire being run permanently by the Left. However from what it appeared via the BBC he was supported not only by the pseudo-Conservative leader of East Riding Council at the time, but also the likes of George Osborne.
Deborah, I was staggered recently to learn that some places have not just one Mayor to be supported by the taxpayer but two Mayors …. to be supported by the taxpayer.
That’s gotta cost!
Perhaps a side benefit of the aftermath of the Covid-19 inspired Pandemic will be a rigorous examination of expenditure and a clear out of unnecessary administration and administrators?
Or will the need and desire to create job opportunities over-ride good financial ‘housekeeping’ and budgetary controls in order to create even more jobs at taxpayer expense?
Reminder
It’s Trafalgar day.
Let’s celebrate one of Britain’s greatest hero’s .
Over to our “British” broadcaster…………………
Taffman – I refer to my abject apology regarding the date ….
This astounds me!
The BBC report some good news for the Arts sector in Northern Ireland….
“Almost £3m of funding has been granted to individual artists as part of a support scheme operated by Communities Minister Carál Ní Chuilín.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-54570743
The BBC either did not know or failed to mention a few details about Ms Chuilin…..
Wikipedia: Carál Ní Chuilín
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carál_N%C3%AD_Chuil%C3%ADn
Ms Chuilin appointed an assistant, a certain Mary McCardle
Wikipedia: Mary McArdle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_McArdle
My first question as a reporter would be, what are the chances of parts of this free money ending up in the wrong hands and eventually being used to do anything but support the Arts?
I know the Irish often have a different take on life but just how bad does your past have to be before you are denied participation at this level?
The old adage, a leopard never changes it’s spots!

Ha ha ha!
Oh President Trump critics. Oh Amazon bashers. Oh Google critics. You boys took one hell of a beating!

BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – their language is leaving me
“Faked naked photos of thousands of women shared”
My old English teacher in Secondary School would have had half a lesson on that one. 🙂
Not so much “Let’s get nakﮟed” more a sort of “Let’s get fakﮟed” by the BBC.
Fake Ed is what the BBC does best.
Newsbeat and Ceebeebies getting Hattie in to narrate a series.
OT, but other media…
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown goes in to bat for the BBC this morning in the ‘i’ virtual newspaper defending what she sees as an unfair attack on the corporation: ‘The war on the BBC’
Meanwhile Yorkshire cricket veteran Sir Geoffrey in the Telegraph squares up and pitches in with: ‘BBC swapped quality for equality, says Boycott’
“Howzat?” It’s a difficult call – can we rely on our newsprint press to act as sharp-eyed umpire in this cultural battle over the preformance of our powerful national broadcaster?
A quick peek at the front page of the Times this morning hints at which way the former Thunderer might lean: ‘Fair ladies: why women are the more objective sex. Women really are the fairer sex. They are also, research has found, the more compassionate too.’
I’m sorry, Sir Geoffrey, looks as though you are going to be bowled out for a duck in any media battle of the sexes with the fair Yasmin.
‘I was groped by a celeb… but I’d never have taken it to court’ claims the equanimous Sarah Vine on the front page of the Daily Mail. And on the same page: ‘Stalker at my home terrified me, says Bond girl Naomie’ – what no back flips, high kicks or poisoned steel toecap to the crotch?
If you seek ever more doom and gloom in your life and enjoy opening a newspaper in the way you enjoy opening a vein then the Guardian is definitely the organ for you: ”Scarred for life’ Fears of a lost generation. Young people reflect on their experience of the pandemic’
Charlotte Lytton in the Telegraph wonders: ‘If millennials are fed up, what hope for Generation Z?’ – that’s something to do zombies, isn’t it? Mind you, if you’ve any experience with getting teenagers up for school in the early morning…
The UK may be edging slowly ever closer to Brexit but it seems our national game is edging ever closer in the opposite direction of amalgamation with europe. The Telegraph has: ‘New push for Euro breakaway league.’ Seems five Premier League clubs – including Covid-restricted northern giants Liverpool and Manchester United – are looking not only to Remain but to more fully integrate English football with the continent.
The Mirror would have us believe: ‘PM’s playing poker with the pandemic’ – or so claims Andy Burnham. Surely the Manchester Mayor’s holding out for extra cash in return for covid restrictions puts him in the guise of the poker player? Oh well, it is the Mirror and they do inhabit the lefty looking glass world.
And in Tory news…
The Telegraph tells us we can look forward to: ‘Asylum deal returns Bin Laden aide to UK’ – that’s thanks to David Cameron’s deal with the US.
Our useless BBC gleefully highlight the disagreements over the Manchester tier 3 bailout.
You say 60, I say 65.
But no impartial report seems to have asked just how long the money is for.
Is it 1 week? 4 weeks? Per week?
Kind of makes rather a difference.
Not hard is it?
Except when BBC reports are for the sole purpose of undermining, and not informing.
But there’s never an exit strategy for any new imposition. And no journalist ever asks for one, at least as far as I’ve seen.
For a more optimistic outlook on where we are, check out this thread.
Thanks for that – very interesting and reassuring. With time, more evidence that ‘they’ aren’t telling us the truth and just manipulating us. Saving their backs? Not sure why else they would wantonly wreck the economy.
Not sure I believe the great reset thing.
Dr Yeadon goes into considerable detail here.
https://lockdownsceptics.org/what-sage-got-wrong/
It’s a long read but very worthwhile in my opinion. Interestingly it’s getting the Hunter Biden treatment in the media. I’ve seen no one explain where he’s wrong.
In short, no one at SAGE has the necessary knowledge to realise when their models are spouting nonsense. The government has surrounded itself with the wrong advisors. My guess is that they’re too far in to back off gracefully now.
What amazes me is the remarkable incuriosity of our brave investigative journalists, who swallow what the Government tells them about surges and spikes and masks without question. And they have steadfastly refrained from showing up at the big anti-lockdown rallies – were they not news?
They were at it again on Toady this morning.
With nauseating repetition, the latest BBC wheeze seems to be to dredge up a/any Labour council leader and ask ‘are you happy with the government’s Covid response/ financial offer for your area?’.
The answer unsurprisingly is always, but always, No.
I always feel so much better informed and educated after that.
Or do I mean patronised and indoctrinated?
Sluff, you definitely mean patronised and indoctrinated.

Time for bbc American BS to get a Vox pop?
They could send out impartial ex-Newsnight Brexit roving reporter, Lord Nick of Silicon Valley out to conduct it.
TOADY Watch #1 – Ladies day, again! Mishal on, again!
I switched on in time for the 7.40 a.m. newspaper review and had the joy of listening to Lisa Nandy MP (Lab) having a good stir on playing politics with the Covid-19 virus pudding. The Labour Party have suddenly re-discovered the unemployed having ignored them for just over 23 years, nearly a quarter of a century.
Stir up Sunday – only a month away.
The Bishop of Manchester will be impressed and grateful for the advance notice.
I switched off before Robert Jenrick MP (Con), Communities Minister, was interviewed because the TOADIES had to start with a ‘vox pop’ with unbalanced people saying “I support the Mayor”. I’m sorry I’ll read that again.

9am R4 Across the Red Line on @mrjamesob
debating Roger Mosey.
‘Does impartiality impede good journalism?’
James O’Brien habit is to project his own deep flaws onto others
Opened by saying
“We’ve ended up in such a mess
An American President claiming you can inject bleach as a treatment for coronavirus”
“or a ..Priti claiming that immigration lawyers are ALL activists & do gooders”
Both O’Briens claims are MISINFORMATION from his his “2+2=5” thinking
They went on JOBrian the ultra-misinformer
just argued on
“Antivax … & CC deniers both of which were horribly overrepresented on major platforms
entirely cos of this BOGUS notion of impartiality
You HAVE 90+% of the world’s Scientific consensus on one side of the Climate science argument and Change deniers ”
He made out the skeptics side is secretly funded & other side not.*
Then former BBC editor Mosely said
“the science is 97%” certain
FFS that is confused misinfo as well
* Climate skeptic orgs do tend to keep donor names secret
but that is cos Greenpeace etc. have a record of using intimidation, even showing up at people’s houses.
The Green lobby like Greenpeace, WWF and vast $billion multinationals
Funding for the Green lobby comes from a mixture of US legacies and Green Biz
O’Brien”You HAVE 90+% of the world’s Scientific consensus on one side of the Climate science argument
and Nigel Lawson and a few Daily Telegraph bloggers on the other
and everytime you turned on Radio4 it felt as if they were equal and opposite parts of the same debate
..that cos i’s not actually impartiality ”
JOB speaks so fast, there is no time to pick it apart
people end up either accepting the whole lot
or dismissing the whole lot
See the way there he says that impartiality is giving 90% of the time to people he claims are TRUTH SPEAKERS
that is wrong
When the emperor has a new suit it is not impartial to give 90% of the time to suit-makers
#1 The citizens have a right to time to question cos they pay for it
#2 Tiny opinions like that of the small boy need to dealt with NOT IGNORED
Stew – It is possible that I caught thirty seconds of this self-deluded garbage (9am R4), where someone was saying (for the sake of ‘impartiality’ or ‘accuracy’) how it is good bbc and ITV remain what they are and Sky should not hive off to become a ‘Fox’ news. Off switch.
Was that the programme?
I think we desperately need a Fox news for a semblance of balance, preferably an RSBN as well, and the immediate abolition of the beeb licence fee (obtaining money with menaces). An Australian Sky News would also be OK, they are way different from UK. Beeb is one HUGE social engineering and propaganda channel, like ITV and C4 ,where the SOCIAL ENGINEERING and RE-EDUCATION are the key functions. At the very least, they are solidly anti-government, which makes one wonder why government continues to allow them to rob us (and now the over 75s). The quality of what is left of ‘entertainment’ is now so low and third-rate, I suspect we are moving ever closer to Radio Congo Brazzaville, although the latter probably has fewer repeats.
Their No1 objective is to portray the UK as a ‘multicultural’ nation in which the original Caucasian population makes up a constantly shrinking/decreasing half, or even third, of the population, as the ‘migrants’ move in and the established ‘people of colour’ take over the public discourse.
One listener
“Two lefties, both Remainers and man made climate mentalists rubbing each others backs ”
Exactly and as I look at the Tweets the producers are under the illusion that people loved the show
cos loads of James O’Brien supporters said the prog was great
..but it played to the Guardianlalaland bubbleworld
People with actual sense switched off
What goes with popcorn this early?
Davis Attenborough says man is the most destrutive of all primates,
well he’s obviously not driven through Longleat safari park in a Seat Alhambra
Of course its is encouraging to note that the numbers of the Covid Virus has dropped in certain arears-however I do not think no matter how anxious the Government may want to reduce infection rates, this virus will not disappear any time soon as they say. It is here for a while yet and with a population of over 70 million people on a small area of land, transmission of the virus is inevitable-The priority in this first instance should be to take care of the Vunerable and very elderly folk in our society and maximise efforts to ensure people generally follow common sence proceedures. Eventually immunity will reach into society and levels of being infected will drop away. Yes a vaccine might be found , but I think it will be some way off yet meanwhile the economy has to be No1 priority. Dread to think if not.
Beff, in complement.
GW – I think we have been watching for the last few days, Burnham out to become the ‘King of the North’ (ably abetted by beeb) as he attempts to ‘recapture’ the region for Labour. Cynical exploitation of the ‘pandemic’ to drive the Tories out and undermine their election gains.
BoJo was far too weak in response (as always); he should have exposed the reckless, self-promoting, money-grabbing project Burnham -king of the North, for what it is.
ANDY BURNHAM = Scott Tracy -Thunderbirds.
Jeepers creepers. Beth out of touch again !!!
He is King of the North to Beth and the rest of the MSM.
Up here, in the actual area, he is not overly liked at all, you only need to read the replies to her tweet to see that.
Just more pathetic lefty bias. Its embarassing.
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #2 – He’s gone native!
Cheering from the BBC ranks, do I hear? Mark Sedwill former senior Civil Servant has spent too much time in the sun or too much money on
The SunDaily Mirror (and Guardian) and gone native as they used to say in India. He’s confirmed what many thought was the case; he and his senior colleagues are ranged (and raging?) against, firstly, Brexit and, secondly, a Conservative Government.Time to drain the swamp.
The fact that Sedwill attacked Dominic Cummings was just a bit of a give-away.
Oooops!
Up2
I would hope that once DJT is re-elected and embarks on the total demolition of the swamp communists, that might give Boris (if he’s still insitu) to grow some backbone and similarly deal with our own massive swamp.
G, I would hope so, too. They made a noise about doing just that early this year but Covid-19 was an interrupting factor all too soon. It is significant that various Lefties all see Cummings as the one to attack. They go for Bojo and Hancock, too, but not in the same way.
I wonder if the PM would be really lost without Dominic Cummings organising him. I suspect so.
Has anyone noticed that the BBC publish libelous headlines and material but gets away with it?
Yesterday the BBC published the following headline on their website:
“Denton and Reddish MP claims government hates Greater Manchester”
The story comprised the headline plus a copy of a tweet from “BBC Politics”. The MP in question is Labour MP Andrew Gwynne.
Do we have any legal experts here that could comment – can we print what anyone says as a quote and get away with libel?
Just as long as they aren’t ‘damn’ far-left?
Hi JimS – I have also been noticing that the BBC are embedding tweets from activists on their website. Many of the tweets published on the BBC website contain libelous material as well as links to activist websites.
Pure #1degreeofseparation cynical advocacy making a mockery of Fran and Timmeh!’s idiotic claims to be on top of this.
Caliphate
I hope i removed the right post and not the one with the cure for the chinese virus on it …

Mishal doing Americast side jobs?
While the BBC salivates over the non-news that Trump may have a Chinese bank account, they are desperately trying to suppress Joe and Hunter Biden’s criminal and depraved shenanigans in China – along with the rest of the msm, social media companies and even the FBI.
“Trump Set To Release Proof Of Hunter Biden Raping & Torturing Children In ChiCom Blackmail Scheme”
https://www.infowars.com/posts/trump-set-to-release-proof-of-hunter-biden-raping-torturing-children-for-chicom-blackmail-scheme-share-this-bombshell-report/
BBC Still trying to convince everyone that the radical left is what we should consider mainstream.
Same topic
The only pronouns that ‘belong’ to a person are I, me, my and mine.
All the others ‘belong’ to other people, in the same way as they should be free to use words like tall, short, thin, fat, smart, stupid, rich or poor from the observer’s perspective, not that of the subject.
Tell that to “He” “She” and “It”,
The moderator woke up confused and got the date of the thread wrong . This was noticed and rectified – but the moderator failed in his befuddled confusion to recall that this day is Trafalgar Day …. this too has now been rectified – Merci .. ….
Is that the Chief of Staff from The West Wing?
My suggestion to help the NHS:
instead of lifting patients in bed on the count of three, do it on the count of two, speeding up the process by 33%
They could stop copying US TV doctors and go back to putting stethoscopes around their necks instead of over their shoulders.
(A Canadian medical journal published an article on this time-wasting practice some years ago).
Ivermectin again.
Sky News Aus.
Steve Bannon and Seb Gorka, two people I have the greatest of respect for, discuss ‘the emails’ and much more. If you have time, well worth following the discussion:
Great stuff. Always enjoy Gorka.
This Biden scandal is EVERYWHERE. Yet amazingly Jon Sopel, Katty Kay, Anthony Zurcher and the rest of the BBC haven’t heard a word !!!!!!! LOL.
They are however over every piece of Trump news 24/7 no matter how trivial.
They really are scum. Scum of the highest order.
Labour, getting more like the Dems in the US by the day.
BBC bias by omission, I’ve just wandered over to the website and noticed unexpectedly as remarked on by Fed no mention of Trafalgar Day but also not one mention of the anniversary of the Aberfan Disaster. I shall type no more as I wouldn’t want to besmirch the memory of all who died that day.RIP
Given the tragic topicality and UK aspect, one presumes BBC Breaking is all over this?

Or are they waiting until some community leaders are in the studio to be calmed down?
@RHarrabin just tweeted about that 9am show
Impartiality 1
: Slagged off last week by Charles Moore for saying we’re heading towards 3C warming
there was nice feedback today from Across the Red Line R4, 0900 debate on impartiality: https://bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000nmcm @eciu @CarbonBrief
Impartiality 2:
Roger Mosey – “I was a serial employer of Roger Harrabin,
so the notion that the *science of climate change* wasn’t a hallmark of the BBC doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.”
James O’Brien: “Roger Harrabin’s an absolute paragon of his craft”.
Thanks guys.
Look how he works hand in hand with Greenblob PR guys @eciu @CarbonBrief* and includes them in his tweet.
(Likewise Harra doesn’t do *science of climate change* he does PR of climate change)
and his next tweet is a retweet of Simon Evans of ClimateBrief saying that
It’s up to Charles Moore to “present credible evidence ..
that we’re NOT heading towards around 3C of warming”
FFS it’s upto alarmists to PROVE their case, not deflect
.. by telling us to do the almost impossible of proving a negative
* BTW (The 2 orgs work from a building packed with similar organisations probably sockpuppetry)
BTW Harra is not exactly popular on Twitter
His Twitter world is that of a small cult, there is no point in me confronting them as they are not up for listening but rather lash out like a school bully gang.
@steve_niemiecguy just confronted them
“There is no impartiality at the BBC regards Climate.
You’ve closed the debate down completely and are not prepared to discuss or listen to other views.
Now you are competing to see how extreme each report can become
with very few being fact checked at all.
Disgraceful journalism.”
I would be grateful for peoples thoughts on the following BBC headline & story:
Now the BBC have produced a narrative blaming Republicans and Donald Trump for a lack of a deal to provide financial relief in the wake of the coronavirus lockdowns:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54619918
Yet a week ago there was a huge story on CNN where Nancy Pelosi said she was not going to accept the deal and many people have accused her of politicising the issue. The BBC indicate the Republicans don’t want a deal yet Trump has a deal ready for signing but Pelosi won’t sign it
Have you noticed how all the Lefties are so keen to stick up for Gary.
Jeremy Vine tells us it was just a mistake !!!!!! When any lefty does something like that, it’s always just a mistake, they are sorry and that’s that.
Now cast your mind back to Stanley Johnson being pictured in a shop without a mask ,EXACTLY the same as Gary …………there was lefty OUTRAGE.
Hypocrite s !!!!!!
The BBC decide to play identity politics and turn Kamala Harris into a “victim” of the “patriarchal system”:
The BBC is not a news information service. It is a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week campaigning organisation that pushes all forms of lunatic ideology and none greater than radical feminism. It is completely infantile and unprofessional and they are using the TV tax to run all of this.
Our politicians must be made accountable for it as must the BBC.

BobotC – There is only one answer: to refuse the beeb their tax payment. And to pressure this useless government to abolish it! We need to nag them, nag them and nag them again; the squeaky wheel…
Let beeb work for a living, in fair competition with others, like everyone else!
As for Kamala, we all know why she’s where she is. Two reasons, and a record of achievement ain’t one of them!
Jon Snow been kept remote?
Easy to see why bbc staff like twitter RTs so much.

I wonder if Caroline Mucus and JezBo are on the Vegetative Board down there?
To libmob it’s the message that counts

A propos of nothing….almost.
For years I’ve found the USA often produce clearer and better and more open statistics on things than the EU and UK. And I have to say the UK is particularly poor, often explaining how the data was obtained and then forcing a wild goose chase than actually showing the data in an easy-to-read fashion.
With that in mind, I was looking up Coronavirus co-morbidity data and chanced on this excellent source for the USA. The point being not the actual numbers, but the trends which are highly likely to be true for the UK as well.

A very simple point in this data is that Covid deaths by age group are shown against total deaths AND the population of that age group. The ONS by contrast doesn’t do this so neatly. So death rates are given for age groups without any context.
For instance, old people die of Coronavirus but then again old people die period.
Meanwhile young people do also die and of all sorts of things. Sad but true. But its a small number. And the coronavirus death rate is only around 1% of that. How much of a problem do we therefore really have?
Are you worried about dying of pneumonia? For the over 25s, death rates are about half those for Coronavirus. But are the preventative and publicity measures for pneumonia in that same ratio?
I won’t got through it all but urge you to read it. You’ll learn more than you’ll ever get from the BBC.

So there I was checking the BBC website for any evidence of a mention of the anniversary of the Aberfan Disaster that occurred today back in 1966. I looked in the Welsh news section and there was nothing. So I thought about checking in the the Welsh regional news sections. Now Aberfan is a village near Merthyr Tydfil in the South East of Wales. So I checked South East, South West and Mid news sections and there was absolutely nothing on it.
However I spotted something entirely different hidden away in the South West Wales regional news section:
Two arrested after ‘disturbance’ at asylum centre: Two men aged 22 and 25 are arrested by police and an investigation is ongoing.
Given this was not headline news on the main webpages of the BBC and given these people were referred to as men rather than far right protestors I surmised correctly the incident involved the asylum seekers themselves.

Our local BBC weather forecaster, Paul Hudson, last night promised us an accurate forecast.
He then said it would be dry overnight and we would get rain about 8 a.m this morning and then rain for the rest of the day. It actually stopped raining by 8 a.m. and then we have had a brief shower about 3.30. but otherwise a grey mizzely day – but no more rain. Some of us are in weather dependent occupations and make decisions on our work after listening to Paul (and he is the one with qualifications).
All the money the government gave the met office has obviously been wasted.
Hi Deborah, the BBC in fact dropped the Met Office a while back to go with the Meteo Group for their forecasts, The Meteo Group being an EU based organisation of course! HQ I believe is in the Netherlands.
#2 I’m in Hudson’s area and his forecast was about right.
Forecasts for rain tomorrow aren’t real forecasts
rather they observe position of last night’s rain clouds by radar and run the model forward 12 hours.
Since rain comes in pockets, they might all miss your area.
For those who haven’t seen this and wonder how much more insane the luvvies at the top can get I bring you…

The Arts Council have handed £212,305 to a solo black drag artist called “Le Gateau Chocolat” to help deal with the effects coronavirus has had on his income….
Henceforth to be known as the Arse Council…..
4;30pm Big Tech Censorship
Will Amol get to the truth ?
Facebook and Twitter accused of censorship over *a tabloid story* about Joe Biden’s son.
..oh it’s just a tabloid story, is it ?
Ah he’s saying it’s cos it’s in the @NYPost
Guests: Brian Stelter, CNN anchor and author of Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth;
Susan Ferrechio, Washington Examiner (hot the Post)
Sara Fischer, Axios media
Toni Cowan-Brown, podcaster and author
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000nmdb
I typed that 2 hours ago but I forgot to press send.
Now I have listened the 3 Lefties tried to play the Biden laptop story down .. oh nothing to see , shouldn’t report, cos it was probably obtained ILLEGALLY
But the Examiner’s @susanferrechio pushed back
asserting the real world things
The media will report any dirt on Trump, they never say “oh it might have been obtained illegally
#2 The Big tech has incredible pro liberal bias
I checked for tweets to Amol and Radio4
and in fact there were very few.
Susan’s push back against Liberal media is appreciated in the States
and someone put up a clip of her vs Slater
There many threads and loads of tweets as opposed to very little on the Radio4 threads for Amol’s show
Hi StewG, it is almost like the BBC have a special operations response team that sweeps into action to spread disinformation to discredit news they can’t hide and that goes against the BBC narrative.

NHS staff with far too much time on their hands now everything has stopped for 20 people having runny noses in the borough !!!
I mean, FFS !!
It’s to be hoped Laurence has private health insurance, otherwise he’ll be waiting a long time at his local NHS dance centre.
What a waste of time and resources that was !!!!
BBC getting the Christmas scare stories in early this year
They do seem to thrive on the misery of the British public !!
Doobster – better not tell the chicken worrier from earlier today —he will be ….gutted…
How do you prepare your turkey for Christmas lunch ?
You just say ” You are going to die !”
