    I tend to take anything issued from the BBC with a large pinch of salt.

    For instance I just caught the new “This Morning” show which follows the main morning news.

    Right from the go I was curious about the presentation they have hit on.

    They have opted for a very 1970’s decor set complete with Rubber Plants and Parquet floors, G-Plan etc.

    This can’t be a very unsubtle hidden message to comfort all the older viewers who are giving up on them could it? Or maybe I am getting neurotic!!!

    You should not cast aspersions like that, the BBC has taken over from the Vatican

    St Lewis of Hamilton (accepted the honour from Monaco, Stevenage was too far away)

    St Marcus of Rashford (pending, couldn’t read the award letter)

    The Holiest Greta of Thungberg (off on another planet )

    and Stephen Lewis’ mum (too busy talking to her acountants)

    and in a new first in beatification, any bloody one who once lived in Grenfell or had a granny there

    Ballot secret watermark theory is REALLY starting to look credible now.

    https://www.bitchute.com/video/AjSZhmUW0CWW/

    Still can’t say for sure it’s true as the CIA agent on Infowars was almost certainly lying the other day since no further arrests were reported, but it’s definitely no longer just a ‘fringe conspiracy theory.’

    It doesn’t need to be true for Trump to win this, as SCOTUS will rule in his favour on PA and there’s overwhelming evidence of voter fraud and illegal ballots in GA, MI, NV and WI that are already being investigated by those states’ republican-led legislatures and are extremely promising with regard to swinging back to Trump. But I hope it’s true, as it’s not enough to simply win this election – there needs to be legal consequences for those who perpetrated this fraud. That includes the mainstream media who are currently gaslighting that Biden is president elect (in fact, his projected ‘win’ in PA has now been rescinded by several outlets so he’s nothing of the sort) and how, in National Review’s world, “nobody in their right mind thinks Trump will be President in January.”

    As many onlookers have pointed out, the left’s rush to annoint Biden as the winner even though no states have been ratified and the electoral college does not convene until the middle of December is actually a sign of panic. They knew Giuliani was about to announce the first lawsuits in PA and how strong the case was, so they tried to supercede this by calling the election when they had no authority to do so. Everything that has followed since is compounding the existing lie. If, or hopefully when, Trump and his 71m confirmed voters (not to mention the countless ones we know had their votes thrown out or cast for Biden as this is well-documented) do in fact come through this battle, there needs to be a reckoning with regards to the MSM’s blatant attempts to portray a false narrative. The BBC will be first in line on our side and the license fee MUST be rescinded.

    This is so true. The narrative the media were peddling in the days before the election was that places like Washington were being boarded up to protect them from Trump supporters rioting after a Biden victory (which they thought was 100% cast iron by a landslide).

    of course, we all knew it was in case of a Trump victory and the left going on the rampage again.

    They really are something else.

      Doob.
      That’s why they were painting BLM on the boarding, to show they supported the left and hoping the revolting lefties would not loot and burn their shops.

      I suppose there’s lots of disappointed lefties around today who were expecting a new tv and a pair of trainers last week.

      Still, if the true election results come out or new elections take place instead of the corrupted ones they will get their tv and trainers in the near future.

    Was there some positive Trump news today?

    The reason I’m asking is that the bbbc radio newcastle news this morning at 7 didn’t mention him.

    The other bbbc radio newcastle item I’d like to mention is that when introducing an article about ‘man made global warming’ the DJ said “almost all scientists agree that global warming is man made”
    I should like to correct him by saying it slightly differently, “almost all scientists that we, the bbc, allow to talk about global warming, agree that global warming is man made”
    The other scientists are no platformed so we only get to hear the bbbc version.
    So, nothing new then.

        Scientists are on the trail of best Britannia Nouveau – a pleasant little tipple last enjoyed 1,600 years ago.

        Using aerial photographs, ground-penetrating remote sensing equipment, analysis of ancient weeds and apparatus to measure pollen dispersal, archaeologists and palaeobotanists are joining forces to rediscover the lost vineyards of Roman Britain. The team is led by Ian Meadows, of Northamptonshire County Council, and Tony Brown, of Exeter University’s School of Geography and Archaeology.

        The findings so far indicate that the imperial Italians of the early first millennium AD did not introduce their British subjects only to legionaries, villas and togas, but to the delights of cheap plonk as well.

        To date the research has identified the remains of seven Romano-British vineyards – four in Northamptonshire, one in Cambridgeshire, one in Lincolnshire and one in Buckinghamshire.

        Most of the wines produced at them were probably fruity, sweet and brownish in colour. The grapes would have been harvested early, before they were fully ripe, in around late September. After the treading, large amounts of honey would have been added for sweetness and to produce an alcohol content of about 10 to 12 per cent.

        The wine would have continued to ferment inside storage amphorae or barrels and would have been drunk within six months. Wine from fresh grapes – as opposed to raisins – was thus a drink for winter and spring.

        One of the main wine-producing areas of Roman Britain seems to have been the Nene Valley, in what is now Northamptonshire. In the valley, near the village of Wollaston, archaeologists have found ancient vineyards covering at least 30 acres, in which vines were grown in the Mediterranean Roman style, exactly as described by classical authors such as Pliny and Columella. On one site, the remains of four miles of bedding trenches have been found. Estimates suggest that the site contained 4,000 vines, producing 10,000 litres of wine a year.

        In Roman times, Britain had a slightly warmer climate than now; and, with 500 to 600mm of rain a year, Northamptonshire is at the lower end of the British precipitation range, which would have meant fewer fungal problems. The area would therefore have been suitable for grape production.

          That’s very interesting, Darcy!

          Having made hooch since the 1970s, I’m pleased to read confirmation that grapes were indeed plentiful back then. It’s not difficult to understand that there were so many more fruits readily available, like elderberries, apples, sloes etc., and a simple yeast from some sort of fungus would have started the process for Saturday night oblivion within days…

          That’s why the ladies didn’t need the pill back then – thank goodness…

          Apparently, wine from the continent was pretty dire back then, as it didn’t travel well, so anyone with a large cauldron, a few veg or fruits, and a bit of sugar beet, or any other carb, could make the stuff to knock your socks off!

          I still do, as at 20p a glass, I can replicate a Chateau-Mouton-Bidenchild at the drop of a rather enormous hat!

    It’s happening! The peasants are rising up.

    After the staggering bias and electoral manipulation of recent months, large numbers are abandoning the mainstream media and social media – Fox, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube – in favour of Alt-Tech.

    The bias was just too extreme, too blatant, and people are switching to Parler, BitChute, Patreon, Minds etc.

    Hopefully the Brits will follow suit regarding the BBC.

    Oh Happy Day.

      Much of Alt-Tech has already I think been bought by the globalists (including Google). If there is to be an alternative news then the globalists want to make sure they profit out of that too. They provide the platforms and the software and then profit out of the content produced by others.

                  one thrived the other was arrested stabbing someone in a local pub

                  I fully understand this happens across all sectors of society but it is prevalent in one sector in particular

                    Stew is right to point out that showing evidence – when its there – is the best way to help any opinion and convert some and shut up others .
                    That still doesnt mean that those who cant get hard evidence – and im one of those – cannot post their observations and opinions .
                    And its good if someone can help along with what anyone posited .

                    WE NEED BOTH.

                    a) We need “pedants” or “nitpickers” or those with an eye for evidence that is needed if any of us want to take our claims and observations outside of this website into the real world. I am thinking of maybe doing this at some distant point in the future – at which point people like StewGreen would be invaluable.

                    b) The light-hearted, satirical, polemic, angry, frustrated, amazed, disappointed, concerned poster as well that post their unedited observations, experiences and viewpoints. This too I have found tremendously valuable in terms of pointers, links, better understanding of things that I wasn’t particularly aware of or knowledgeable.

                    My analysis of what happened:
                    i) I took DARCY3 original reply to Tabs as being amusing in twisting the context (from knives and forks for eating, into knives for stabbing) with large elements of truth in it.
                    ii) StewGreen’s response which maybe could be described as a touch “severe” but provided some useful practical information.

                    So I give a thumbs up to this community which includes FedUp, StewGreen, Darcy, Tabs, Vlad, Nibor among others.

    BTW London stabbing’s did cross my eye this morning
    in the form of metroliberal tweets
    that said ‘stabbings are nothing only 259 London people died from stabbing last year, many more have died from Covid’

    The point is that is deflection.
    #1 Stabbing deaths are additional to what Covid causes
    If we didn’t have cultures that lead to it we’d be better off.

    #2 Looking at RAW DEATHS is a BS metric
    Looking at Life Days Lost shows that 3 teenagers dead is a bigger issue than 3 severe aged cancer patients being pushed over the line by Covid,
    … never mind the Life Days Lost to people who lived through a stabbing, but came out with big injuries.

        Yes you can make the argument that the NHS should spend £50K to add three months to the life of a 97 year old
        and NOT spend the £50K to add 70 years to the life of a stabbed teenager

    On the Archbishop Cranmer website Martin Sewell, “Archbishop Cranmer”, writes:-

    Concession and transition or voter fraud and prosecution? If only Alistair Cooke were alive today
    Nov 10, 2020

    Earlier this year, locked down in France, I wrote about my pleasure at discovering an important treasure trove from my childhood and adolescence. The BBC has used the wonders of the internet to offer on its BBC Sounds resources the complete archive of Alistair Cooke’s ‘Letter from America’, and it has since been bitter sweet for me to dip into it from time to time, partly for nostalgia, but also to remind myself of how balanced, informed and profound radio broadcasting can be.

    I won’t beat about the bush. I am dismayed by the contrast of that era with the BBC journalist Jon Sopel as he ‘reports’ on the US Presidential Election with his visceral loathing of Donald Trump, which he makes no attempt to conceal, obliterating any hope the listener may have of learning what it actually going on. He cannot present any report without reminding (or do I mean propagandising?) listeners that President Trump’s claims to election malpractice are “unsubstantiated”. This is John Sopel’s favourite word at the moment, and presents as the mantra of a true believer.

    ‘Unsubstantiated’ has a variety of synonyms in the dictionary, which include ‘unsupported’ and ‘unattested’, but unfortunately for Mr Sopel, seemingly an analogue mind in a digital world, his listeners have access to a variety of sources beyond the State broadcaster which they may read or listen to for themselves. One must tread carefully, but it seems many are rather less biased than Mr Sopel, and listeners can and should hold him to account as much as they do politicians.

    In one sense, Joe Biden’s victory (if victory it be) is currently ‘unsubstantiated’ insofar as his claim to the Presidency under the Constitution can only arise after the relevant counts are concluded, any electoral disputes have been adjudicated by the courts, the States have chosen their electors, and those electors have met to elect the new President. None of these events has yet occurred. John Sopel’s certainty that Joe Biden is President-Elect is, to use his word, correctly ‘unsubstantiated’.

    Re the Boris presidential tweet debacle…

    As a web designer I create and manipulate lots of images designed to be displayed on the internet in various forms.

    The embarrassing mishap with Boris’s tweet looks at best to be very shady to me.

    They are claiming that they prepared two messages in advance and that due to a technical glitch they got “Embedded together”

    In my photo-editing World there is no such thing as “embedding” two images together, the correct description would be layered or overlayed. Therefore the only way the unwanted image below could be revealed is if the topmost image had it’s opacity deliberately reduced, and act which would require some photo editing skills, especially as the “reveal” coincidentally just happened to be just the most embarrassing sections. If done by accident the entire lower message would have ghosted throughout.

    In addition it seems obvious that the revealed message below is in a different sized font and positioned so that it would be easily readable above the larger words on the top layer.

    I smell a rat!!!

    If I were Boris I would certainly be probing the background of the employee or department tasked with putting the images up.

    What the “Free” Western World needs to realise is that when you deal with those on the radical left, you are dealing with willing cheats and liars. The left-wing playbook encourages any action however dubious against the status quo as long as it weakens and inflicts damage on it.

    The only acceptable outcome is to win total control at all costs so truth and principles are not required, in fact are actively discouraged.

    This philosophy has been seeping into the free world for some time. It is endemic in politics in many Third World Countries and is being imported into the West.

    Of course the “Globalists” are quite happy with this as it leads to their desired outcomes, domination and Control.

    Once Global control has become an accepted and embedded reality then it will be followed by brutal crack-down punishment on anyone who dissents. By which time it could take a thousand years to break it’s grip.

    The Globalist will then no longer need the services of all the useful idiots in the Education, Media, Hollywood and Sport etc. who helped make it all possible for them.

      Not many years ago I would have dismissed these charges of vote-rigging as rantings from a bad loser. I had faith in the world.

      But then we had Brexit. And I watched in stunned disbelief how half the country turned into nasty, spiteful snipers whi either wanted to reverse the result of a referendum or for the country to burn as punishment.

      Then I was stunned again when Trump got elected and we actually had people rioting on the streets because he won a free and fair vote.

      And next I was stunned to discover the Democrats had SIX separate committees whose sole purpose was to try and find something to use to impeach the President. I always assumed an event should trigger impeachment investigation. Not a ‘witch hunt’ looking for one.

      And finally I was stunned when Pelosi ripped up Trumps state of the nation address speech in the most public manner possible. And in the TV interview afterwards, her face was contorted with hate while she spoke. I haven’t seen anyone so consumed by it since watching Anne Soubry telling us why Brexit must be stopped.

      So now I think these accusations of fraud are well within the bounds of what these people are capable of.

        No, there were decent Remain voters who prize UK democracy above all else. They accepted the vote. There were some others, not sure how many – likely to be few, who changed their minds when they saw the result.

        At least we know now that it is the Remainers who actively tried to overturn the vote who are the liars and the cheats.

        Oh oh, back to ex-PMs and their former sidekicks again.

        Yes, that Pelosi thing was remarkable. The Democrats used to be just a whisker away from Republicans in attitudes and policies. I don’t know why they have become so evil and in such a short space of time, relatively speaking. What has happened to them?
