The Welsh Government said “current and historic” cases should be investigated after new claims of sexual assault, sexual harassment and bullying emerged.
BBC Wales Live research found staff working for AMs made two claims of sexual assault against BBC staff and one against a politician.
Six members of staff said they had experienced bullying or sexual harassment at work.
The BBC said it would take the allegations “seriously”.
A tweet by President Trump refers to a claim that ‘10,000 dead people voted in Michigan’ – a state which Joe Biden is projected to have won in the US election.

In the cold light of day we are still suffering under Al Beeb and it’s obnoxious tax at the same time as an illegal invasion coming from France, all with a Tory Government holding a huge majority – how could the Prime Minister get it so wrong ?

If this detailed account is accurate it reveals an extraordinary amount of time spent on rearranging personnel and nursing egos when Covid deaths were rising, scientific advice had been ignored, northern cities were in crisis, etc https://t.co/UFxumwciOV
If even half of what is in the long reads is true, hard to see Number 10 as anything more than than a dysfunctional Kindergarten (without grown-ups to supervise) Amid the deadly serious issues on the agenda Eg Brexit/Covid – @BorisJohnson has created an ego-driven clastrofuck.
“Felixstowe Port in ‘chaos’ as Christmas and Brexit loom”
There are other ports that could be used in an emergency.
Some in Scotland and Wales . Just an extra day’s journey by sea.
Get the military involved .
“Momentarily “
That’s coming from a ‘lefty’ news rag , as with Al Beeb – an anti British forces rag.
Let’s face it , either BoJo is gone or the Torres are finished.
There must be room in our army system for nearly everyone who is not grossly idle or grossly stupid. It is not a case of employing incompetent or worthless men, and such should, of course, be expelled from the army. It is a case of finding suitable employment for officers not fit for higher command.

What a way to run a country! The hatreds, tears and tantrums behind the ousting of Dominic Cummings revealed – and the ‘victory party’ thrown by Carrie Symonds to celebrate
Allies of PM’s former aide Dominic Cummings claim ‘victory party’ was thrown
Johnson said to have rebuked Cummings after calling Carrie ‘Princess Nut Nut’
Claims that Prime Minister’s fiancee has had a vendetta against Mr Cain
Allies of Mr Cummings and Mr Cain say that Ms Symonds has had a vendetta against Mr Cain since she applied for the job of special adviser to Mr Johnson when he was Foreign Secretary, but before she was romantically involved with him.
She lost out in the job to Mr Cain. They claim that Ms Symonds ‘interferes’ extensively in the running of the Government, calling No 10’s private office up to 20 times a day, and texting Mr Johnson up to 25 times an hour over policy issues – usually ones related to her interest in the environment.
And they believe that Ms Symonds uses journalistic contacts established during her time as the Tory Party’s director of communications to manipulate the agenda in her interests, ignoring Mr Johnson’s request for her to stop running a ‘parallel briefing operation’.
“Nazism and Communism imagine themselves as exact opposites. They are at each other’s throats wherever they exist all over the world. They actually breed each other; for the reaction against Communism is Nazism, and beneath Nazism or Fascism Communism stirs convulsively.
Yet they are similar in all essentials. First of all, their simplicity is remarkable. You leave out God and put in the Devil; you leave out love and put in hate; and everything thereafter works quite straightforwardly and logically.
They are, in fact, as alike as two peas. Tweedledum and Tweedledee are two quite distinctive personalities compared to these two rival religions.
I am reminded of the North Pole and South Pole. They are at opposite ends of the earth, but if you woke up at either Pole tomorrow morning you could not tell which one it was. Perhaps there might be more penguins at one, or more Polar bears at the other; but all around would be ice and snow and the blast of a biting wind.
I have made up my mind, however far I may travel, whatever countries I may see, I will not go to the Arctic or to the Antarctic regions. Give me London, give me Paris, give me New York, give me some of the beautiful capitals of the British Dominions.
Let us go somewhere where our breath is not frozen on our lips because of the Secret Police…somewhere where there are green pastures and the shade of venerable trees. Let us not wander away from the broad fertile fields of freedom into these gaunt, grim, dim, gloomy abstractions of morbid and sterile thought.”
It’s a right Royal Sunday for our national press. The Mail informs us: ‘Palace anger at TV’s Crown’; ‘Charles’s friends call drama “trolling on a Hollywood budget”‘; ‘Harry and Meghan face questions over taking Netflix millions’ – the Express also has: ‘Backlash at Crown trauma for Royals’
Nice bit of free publicity for the show there, if you ask me.
Whereas the Sunday Mirror’s frontpage vignette of the BBC’s own Vicky Derbyshire linked with I’m A Celeb (filmed not in Aus but in the Welsh outback) would tend to edge me toward the off switch. ‘Taff start’ says the Mirror employing what is no doubt tabloid banter but what some might regard as a bit of an ethnic slur. We ought really to question the notion that a supposed BBC journalist is being termed a celeb. Seems I’m not alone in my reaction to the BBC’s finest people’s advocate and issues activist: ‘BBC journalist Victoria Derbyshire has signed up for a stint on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! However, bookies are predicting that she may be the first up for elimination’
There’s more Court intrigue in the Sunday Telegraph: ‘Shake-up of Supreme Court will curtail its constitutional powers’ – quite right too. ‘There’s a feeling that Blair and Falconer made a complete dog’s dinner of constitutional reform’ – I’ll say. Devolution for instance, has Labour on the backfoot in Wales, wiped out in Scotland and allows the SNP to extract ever more English taxpayer cash with the threat of a breakup of the Union.
The broadsheets too do love a bit of court intrigue. The Telegraph revels in: ‘Downing St slams “vicious and cowardly” attacks on Symonds’ – er, no. What happened to Julius Caesar on the Ides of March was vicious and cowardly. This is office politics. The Observer puts the drama into persepective: ‘Attacks by PM’s ousted aide left new press chief in tears’ – that’ll be former BBC gal Allegra Stratton.
Whereas Dom Cummings put the nation in lockdown tiers – I’m sorry I had to make that pun.
Women in politics, eh?
A clever (in his subject) scientist once warned us about women in the workplace: “Three things happen when they are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them they cry.”
So that’s offended half the population – with a bit of ancient, but nonetheless, true wisdom.
The Telegraph explains: ‘No 10 hits back after inflammatory claims that Johnson’s fiancé is “trying to run Government by WhatsApp”
I’ll say this for the doomed Dom Cummings, he had a brilliant way with inventing a nickname: ‘Princess Nut Nuts cruel nickname for Carrie that led to downfall of Cummings’ The Sunday Mirror continues: ‘Boris flipped after Carrie Symonds revealed texts showing the Cummings faction was using the cruel moniker’ – if you don’t like the cruel nicknames, better tuck your trunk in luv, and keep out of politics – Spitting Image anyone? Our Maggie Thatcher resisted the resort to the tears until the very end. Not at the very start of her political career but after she succomed to an Ides of March-style assassination.
The Sunday Times would also have us focus on the power behind the throne, the First Ladies: ‘Obama exclusive extract from his new book Michelle’s Whitehouse loneliness’
The Express hopes to dash the hopes of the anti-Brexit press who perhaps see their moment of opportunity: ‘Hold your nerve Boris. Brexiteers back PM after Cumming’s exit as he tells them there’ll be “no backsliding” over deal’
There has been no commentary on the fact that TV journalist Allegra Stratton, at best a longtime weak Tory supporter, suddenly appears to wield immense power from nowhere despite barely having actually started her job.
What meat doth this our Caesar eat that (s)he is grown so great?
Sluff, I’m having an Indiana Jones-moment since listening to the Radio4News and Papers at 8 a.m. this morning on the upheavals at 10 Downing Street. “I have a bad feeling about this.”
AISI, I have to say Mrs T deserved her ” Ides of March-style assassination” for the mess she made of the Community Charge and ‘testing it in Scotland first’. I think she knew she had blown it and that added to the pain and hence the tears. Now where have we heard of (possible) errors in a Government implementation recently? Covid testing in Liverpool, anyone?
And we have been paying for Maggie’s error on that tax ever since.

DAN HODGES: If the future is now all about wind farms, trans rights and wokery, Boris Johnson is doomed
The Dom Cummings era is over,’ the Minister told me. ‘But if we’re going to replace it with the Carrie Symonds era, we’re f*****. The environment. Transgender rights. If that’s what we’re going to be about, our coalition is going to fall apart. It’s not what our voters want to hear. We’re going to lose a lot of seats.’
To people watching from beyond the Plexiglass screen encasing Britain’s political class, the events of the past few days looked like a bad reality TV show. In fact, it’s looked like that to those on the inside. ‘I feel as if I’ve been watching an episode of Jeremy Kyle,’ one distraught Tory MP complained to me.
Carrie Symonds (born 17 March 1988) is a British political activist, conservationist, and the fiancée of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson. She is the first unmarried partner of a Prime Minister to reside in 10 Downing Street. She works as a senior advisor to ocean conservation charity Oceana.
There is quite the collection the bbc now passes on as if the word of god, by ‘quote’, “quote”, inference, overheard in the HoC bogs or via bedfellows from Dan to Geordie, trying to make out they are not in the same one on everything from Brexit to Trump.
I also tire of anything emanating from Labour or Surkeer getting the full BBC credulity-free #pasnews headline of ‘Labour Says’.
Equally from the US via BBC American BS as ‘officials in government say’ as that means squat.
Joining @bbcpaddy and @Guto_Harri on @BBCRadio4 BH just after to 9am to reflect on the dramatic events of the week that culminated in Cummings departing No 10 with a cardboard box of belongings. What just happened & what comes next…. tune in! #bbcbh
Now why would they bring on Guto after his speech about Cummings on JHB’s show ?
“To have a psychopath at the heart of government is not healthy in any democracy.”
… Yes, cos hell give them the hate of Cummings they want.
Had the misfortune of Radio 2 news penetrating my lugholes this morning. Telling me big tech will be censoring anti virus vaccine content on Facebook etc. with the backing of our leaders. Choice is evaporating at an alarming rate in western societies. I’ve always thought the Orwellian prophecy would be with us one day but never imagined it could happen under the watch of a conservative govt. Traitors all of them.
You may have missed this but Toady on Sunday this morning took the full conversion course to Marxism Today.
A full unapologetic, no questions, session was given to someone who argued.
1. That the vaccine priority groups should be elderly in care homes and people with learning disabilities.
2. That the vaccine technology should be shared out globally.
So it’s ‘from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs’.
BBC approved policy.
A world where there is no incentive to innovate, nor work hard for your family, and where wealth creation is at the bottom of the priority list.
The fact that there is no global example of Marxism outperforming capitalism in terms of wealth creation, and nor by the way poverty reduction, is conveniently swept under the carpet by the Far Left BBC.
Their mantra is “end inequality”
That means you end up with a piace like Cuba, where everyone is equally poor,
as opposed to a well developed country where there is inequality cos the innovative and hard working can really make the most , but drag the whole country up in the process.
BTW in Cuba the top party members are not equal, but rather an upper class, cos they get lots of privileges like being able to travel abroad etc.
We have so many “days” in this country now, maybe we should have a Churchill day, where we are reminded of some of his remarks as I have used above,
and, for example (RE “mental health issues” with muslim terrorists?) dealing with Pakistanis in 1898 :
It is, thank heaven, difficult if not impossible for the modern European to fully appreciate the force which fanaticism exercises among an ignorant, warlike and Oriental population. Several generations have elapsed since the nations of the West have drawn the sword in religious controversy, and the evil memories of the gloomy past have soon faded in the strong, clear light of Rationalism and human sympathy. Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men’s passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside. The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting
” The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.”
Darcy.
And not just days.
Watching the start of the England v Georgia rugby match.
Remember there was no crowd.
Yet the teams came out and to an empty stadium we had
1. Silence for a variety of injustices including the murder of policeman Matt Rattana. The latter could just about be accepted as he was a keen rugby player and I think kids coach – but it was a good while ago now.
2. More silence. This may have been for Armistice Day but a bit late. Maybe it was for Divalli.
3. The National anthems were followed by yet another pile of BLM taking the knee dross.
It was absolutely laughably ridiculous.
I have a vision of a comedy sketch which would not be allowed nowadays. In it the team’s come out to a huge cheering crowd of Far Left supporters. There are several moments of silence for every Tom, Dick, and Harry woke cause imaginable.
Then the teams walk off, to thunderous applause.
They do not actually play as there is no time left for an actual game.
A few people about like Guest Who and Taffman at 8:09 AM mention the BBC story ‘Labour say ban antivaxxers from Social Media to stop them spreading disinformation’
..as I mentioned on Thursday the Labour front group Imran Ahmed of CCDH has been about paving the way for this.
The point is you can’t just ban “disinformation”
cos the powerful have a habit like the emperor’s suit makers of labelling those that dare counter their propaganda as “disinformers”
Thus next to be banned will be people who dare challenge the MagicGreenDream of expensive green projects like windfarms
.. then the banning of people who dare question Woke projects.
Ahmed was Senior Political Adviser to the Shadow Foreign Secretary, Hilary Benn from 2012-16, during the 2015 general election and the 2016 EU referendum campaign. In 2016 he helped Angela Eagle MP with her leadership bid. Before working in politics, Imran worked for Merrill Lynch and as a strategy consultant for the first nine years of his career. Imran co-authored a book, The New Serfdom, on Friedrich Hayek’s economic and social legacy in modern Britain, with Angela Eagle MP in 2018.
How could anyone of right mind co-author a book with Angela Eagle?
“We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle”

Answer seems to be ‘ no’ – since i monitor our content i have to slog through page after page sometimes when its busy – which i consider is the norm now…
Who ever chose the site software got that wrong unfortunately….
In discussing Strictly TalkRadio’s TVKev said the BBC have a problem
the woke producers push woke agendas like the same sex couple, black second grade stars etc.
But the moving forward is done by public vote
And the public consistently vote against the agendas.
Ed Stourton was in the multi-occupancy chair again and by the time I switched on they were into a lengthy piece about child and other sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church. A perennial favourite of the Beeb and a certain person on sick-leave but ones that might make Ed, RC himself, squirm a bit.
The real interest came in a little filler piece, a divertissement, in an interview with an artist from Beirut in Lebanon. This lady has made some sculptures from the rubble after helping people clear their homes that were damaged after the warehouse explosion that the BBC, at the time, attributed by the BBC to the supposed spontaneous combustion of sacks of ammonium nitrate a.k.a. fertiliser.
Anyway, art apart, there appears to be lots that the BBC are not telling us about Beirut and Lebanon. I’m tempted to get into some investigative journalism myself, with Jeremy Bowen obviously content to sit around on his fattening bottom and not investigate the dangerous territory that is Lebanon.
The artist hinted several times about the ongoing conflicts in the capital and country. At no point did Ed Stourton, a journalist who has reported on Lebanon in the past during the Israel ‘crisis’ or ‘conflict’, ask this artist what was going on in Beirut and the wider country. No questions, no information for the listener.
What is the BBC covering up, if anything? Why so coy?
Feel a bit sorry for Eddie – a kaffir doing a religious show at the BBC these days – and white – and male . If I were him I’d have the cardboard box ready and the exit sorted out .
“MSM constantly tell us that Britain is inherently full of racist, bigoted , insular folk !!!!!”
that would be that small island outside of London consisting the rest of the UK population who are 85% white and for some reason prefer spouses who are of their own race and culture, and who can spend a whole day walking around and hear the English language spoken around them
very insular indeed
“Almost all of the major media organisations in the UK are based in London. Much of the British media is concentrated in London and is sometimes accused of having a “London bias”
“Its estimated mid-2018 municipal population (corresponding to Greater London) was 8,908,081, the third-most populous of any city in Europe and accounts for 13.4% of the UK population.”
“Something quite remarkable happened in London in the first decade of the new millennium. The number of white British people in the capital fell by 620,000 – equivalent to the entire population of Glasgow moving out.”
Someone should ask them how you can be racist against a religion and how the dislike of Islam based on what they have done can be classed as a phobia which is an ‘irrational fear’.
But of course even asking those questions would label you as a racist to these cretins who have weaponised such terms to use against people with different views.
They are the worst kind of hypocrites. Muslims are the most racist people of all.
And, of course they are such sensitive souls, are they not, when challenged or criticised, any examination of the cultures they have come from will reveal how they value tolerance and individual rights, womens rights and other minorities and religions
and they treat our children, our culture and our laws with equal sensitivity do they not
I am struggling to think which minority is the more sensitive, Islamist or travellers, each so offended by criticism, yet each showing such compassion, towards animals, other fellow humans of other cultures, and law abiding tolerance to all
Perhaps we could make all new traveller sites in islamist areas where they could share their grievances in harmony ?
From the Guardian believe it or not, but maybe not black enough to be overlooked:
‘They’re sophisticated, clever – and they always deliver’: from the ports of Europe to the streets of London, one criminal network is now at the top of the UK’s £5bn trade
Mark Townsend Home Affairs Editor
@townsendmark
Sun 13 Jan 2019 07.00 GMT
Something had kicked off the night before and the guys on the corner were keen to offer advice. “You don’t want to be hanging around here too long,” one said, refusing to elaborate. They were standing near Crispe house, a tower block on east London’s Gascoigne estate, undisputed territory of Hellbanianz.
The gang, an Albanian street crew of drug dealers, is known locally for its violence and more widely for a social media output featuring Ferraris, wads of £50 notes and gold Rolex watches to help enhance its reputation and recruit “youngers”. The Gascoigne estate, built in the 1960s and occupying land that slopes south of Barking town centre to the Thames, is its historical home turf.
It was getting dark, another two men appeared and, when asked if they were Hellbanianz, one said: “You should go.” The Observer was escorted off the estate and told not to return.
Hellbanianz belong to the “retail game” of the cocaine trade. They are the street dealers and enforcers of the Mafia Shqiptare, the Albanian organised criminal syndicates who, the National Crime Agency believe, are consolidating power within the UK criminal underworld and on their way to a near total takeover of the UK’s £5bn cocaine market.
The Albanian drug gangs who flaunt their wealth online: London-based mafia use videos to recruit more footsoldiers to the UK as Lamborghini and Rolls Royce-driving rappers glorify kingpins ‘linked to cartels’
Albanian gangs have now forged direct links with brutal Latin American cartels
They’re trying to persuade Albanian criminals to smuggle themselves into the UK
They do this by posting images of themselves with machine guns and bank notes
Middle-class drug users swelling vast profits of the Albanians’ criminal empire
Based in housing estates in Barking and Dagenham in East London, many of the gang members’ parents came to the UK in the late 1990s. Formed in about 2002, the criminal lifestyles of the Hellbanianz’s gang members is glorified by a rap group of the same name. Professionally produced music videos that depict swaggering young men flaunting their wealth have elicited a huge following.
The video for the song Hood Life, first posted two years ago on YouTube, has been viewed more than 10.3 million times and features fearsome masked men and a scantily clad woman sitting on the bonnet of a white convertible Rolls-Royce Phantom on the Gascoigne Estate in Barking.
‘My Albanians, hold on to your Kalashnikov rifle, Albanians, you are being reduced to sawdust,’ sings a gang rapper called Vinz, whose real name can today be revealed as Ervin Selita, 26.
The 1991 census recorded only 338 Albanians in England. In 1993, the figure had risen to 2,500.Most of them were young Kosovars who avoided recruiting into the Yugoslav Army, who had sought political asylum.
In June 1996, a Supreme Court decision accepted that Kosovo Albanians were persecuted in the former Yugoslavia. This meant that all Kosovo Albanians should be granted residence permits in Britain.
Recorded a year ago, it is well worth watching: Hannity and Russ Limbough. The latter gives a thorough and accurate appraisal of the Left/Marxists.
In essence, it is pointless trying to appease them as they are brainwashed beyond recovery. I was reflected on this interview while I read through the latest arrival from Gatestone:
“Britain: Two-Stepping Toward Totalitarianism”
I thought I would watch a history of the Royal Navy which I found on the internet. It’s a 4-Part BBC program presented by Dan Snow. (son of John) called Empire of The Seas.
It was made in 2010 so I had hoped it would be largely free of anti-British BBC excrement. They did used to be good at history programs many years ago.
My hope was in vain.
Britain, a tiny insignificant, poor, backward little island then-BANG! the next week- evil slave ships that terrorise the whole world.
Nothing in between, no exploration or cargoes of exotic spice & foodstuff. No trading of anything but African slaves. No one settling in the Americas, no defending the coastlands from raiding corsairs. just a cargo of African slaves immediately. From a tiny, backward little Island no one had ever heard of to the terror of the seas overnight.
Spain- the greatest power in the world.
Drake a vengeful bastard.
Victory over the Spanish Armada? Well anyone could have done it. The feeble English just got lucky. It could easily have gone Spain’s way.
Dan Snow sulking in a “My-God-I’m-embarrassed-that-I-have-to-be-English!” kind of way.
I turned it off at 20 mins. Couldn’t stand it anymore.
Does anyone know of a good documentary on the history Royal Navy ?
CHURCHILL’S description of the Royal Navy is included in the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations as having appeared in the book, Former Navy Person, by Sir Peter Gretton. The Oxford Dictionary suggests that Churchill’s phrase should be compared with naval phrases dating from the 19th century – ‘Rum, bum and bacca’ and ‘Ashore, it’s wine, women and song, aboard it’s rum, bum and concertina’.
It looks as though here, as elsewhere, Churchill took an earlier quotation and improved upon it. In The Irrepressible Churchill, compiled by Kay Halle (Robson Books, 1985), Churchill is said to have used the phrase in 1913, when he was First Lord of the Admiralty. According to ‘an ear-witness’, he was having trouble with some of his admirals at a strategy meeting. One of them accused him of having impugned the traditions of the Royal Navy, provoking the reply: ‘And what are they? They are rum, sodomy and the lash’.

Disc 1. The King’s Ships 1500-1599 1 x 44:00 min The story begins with the creation of a ROyal Navy under orders of King Henry VIII with ships such as GREAT HARRY and MARY ROSE and continues through the daring exploits of Sir Francis Drake’s GOLDEN HINDE and the revolutionary innovations at John Hawkins’ race built Galleons. Finally the climatic showdown with Spain’s invincible Armada in 1588 laid the groundwork for Britannia’s Rule of the Seas in the years to come. Disc 2. Wooden Walls 1600-1805 1 x 44:00 min The 17th century saw Britain’s war efforts aided by Samuel Pepys’ codification of naval tactics in The Fighting Instructions which transformed naval battles from uncontrollable melees into linear chess games to water. A little known Scottish landlubber named John Clerk further stimulated naval tactics and when Admiral Horatio Nelson took the helm of HMS VICTORY at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Britain’s mastery of the waves was re-established. Disc 3. The Sun Never Sets 1806-Present 1 x 88:00 min Wooden Walls were soon replaced by iron and steel. When the super ship, DREADNOUGHT was launched in 1906, it sparked a naval arms race with Germany that culminated with the gigantic showdown at Jutland during WWi. After the loss of HMS Hood, Churchill’s rallying cry, Sink The Bismarck and the successful pursuit of the GRAF SPEE, turned the tide of WWII. The Falklands War in 1982 once again demonstrated the continuing resolve and effectiveness of the Royal Navy.
I would suggest you buy it now as maybe will be banned for racism etc, by those who are happy to claim the economic benefits of our previous empire and history whilst whingeing that it ever happened

How are things in the valleys ?
The Welsh Government said “current and historic” cases should be investigated after new claims of sexual assault, sexual harassment and bullying emerged.
BBC Wales Live research found staff working for AMs made two claims of sexual assault against BBC staff and one against a politician.
Six members of staff said they had experienced bullying or sexual harassment at work.
The BBC said it would take the allegations “seriously”.

BBC News seeks ‘truth’

A tweet by President Trump refers to a claim that ‘10,000 dead people voted in Michigan’ – a state which Joe Biden is projected to have won in the US election.
So is there any truth in this claim?

Allies of Mr Cummings and Mr Cain say that Ms Symonds has had a vendetta against Mr Cain since she applied for the job of special adviser to Mr Johnson when he was Foreign Secretary, but before she was romantically involved with him.
She lost out in the job to Mr Cain. They claim that Ms Symonds ‘interferes’ extensively in the running of the Government, calling No 10’s private office up to 20 times a day, and texting Mr Johnson up to 25 times an hour over policy issues – usually ones related to her interest in the environment.
And they believe that Ms Symonds uses journalistic contacts established during her time as the Tory Party’s director of communications to manipulate the agenda in her interests, ignoring Mr Johnson’s request for her to stop running a ‘parallel briefing operation’.

“Nazism and Communism imagine themselves as exact opposites. They are at each other’s throats wherever they exist all over the world. They actually breed each other; for the reaction against Communism is Nazism, and beneath Nazism or Fascism Communism stirs convulsively.
Yet they are similar in all essentials. First of all, their simplicity is remarkable. You leave out God and put in the Devil; you leave out love and put in hate; and everything thereafter works quite straightforwardly and logically.
They are, in fact, as alike as two peas. Tweedledum and Tweedledee are two quite distinctive personalities compared to these two rival religions.
I am reminded of the North Pole and South Pole. They are at opposite ends of the earth, but if you woke up at either Pole tomorrow morning you could not tell which one it was. Perhaps there might be more penguins at one, or more Polar bears at the other; but all around would be ice and snow and the blast of a biting wind.
I have made up my mind, however far I may travel, whatever countries I may see, I will not go to the Arctic or to the Antarctic regions. Give me London, give me Paris, give me New York, give me some of the beautiful capitals of the British Dominions.
Let us go somewhere where our breath is not frozen on our lips because of the Secret Police…somewhere where there are green pastures and the shade of venerable trees. Let us not wander away from the broad fertile fields of freedom into these gaunt, grim, dim, gloomy abstractions of morbid and sterile thought.”

It’s a right Royal Sunday for our national press. The Mail informs us: ‘Palace anger at TV’s Crown’; ‘Charles’s friends call drama “trolling on a Hollywood budget”‘; ‘Harry and Meghan face questions over taking Netflix millions’ – the Express also has: ‘Backlash at Crown trauma for Royals’
Nice bit of free publicity for the show there, if you ask me.
Whereas the Sunday Mirror’s frontpage vignette of the BBC’s own Vicky Derbyshire linked with I’m A Celeb (filmed not in Aus but in the Welsh outback) would tend to edge me toward the off switch. ‘Taff start’ says the Mirror employing what is no doubt tabloid banter but what some might regard as a bit of an ethnic slur. We ought really to question the notion that a supposed BBC journalist is being termed a celeb. Seems I’m not alone in my reaction to the BBC’s finest people’s advocate and issues activist: ‘BBC journalist Victoria Derbyshire has signed up for a stint on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! However, bookies are predicting that she may be the first up for elimination’
There’s more Court intrigue in the Sunday Telegraph: ‘Shake-up of Supreme Court will curtail its constitutional powers’ – quite right too. ‘There’s a feeling that Blair and Falconer made a complete dog’s dinner of constitutional reform’ – I’ll say. Devolution for instance, has Labour on the backfoot in Wales, wiped out in Scotland and allows the SNP to extract ever more English taxpayer cash with the threat of a breakup of the Union.
The broadsheets too do love a bit of court intrigue. The Telegraph revels in: ‘Downing St slams “vicious and cowardly” attacks on Symonds’ – er, no. What happened to Julius Caesar on the Ides of March was vicious and cowardly. This is office politics. The Observer puts the drama into persepective: ‘Attacks by PM’s ousted aide left new press chief in tears’ – that’ll be former BBC gal Allegra Stratton.
Whereas Dom Cummings put the nation in lockdown tiers – I’m sorry I had to make that pun.
Women in politics, eh?
A clever (in his subject) scientist once warned us about women in the workplace: “Three things happen when they are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them they cry.”
So that’s offended half the population – with a bit of ancient, but nonetheless, true wisdom.
The Telegraph explains: ‘No 10 hits back after inflammatory claims that Johnson’s fiancé is “trying to run Government by WhatsApp”
I’ll say this for the doomed Dom Cummings, he had a brilliant way with inventing a nickname: ‘Princess Nut Nuts cruel nickname for Carrie that led to downfall of Cummings’ The Sunday Mirror continues: ‘Boris flipped after Carrie Symonds revealed texts showing the Cummings faction was using the cruel moniker’ – if you don’t like the cruel nicknames, better tuck your trunk in luv, and keep out of politics – Spitting Image anyone? Our Maggie Thatcher resisted the resort to the tears until the very end. Not at the very start of her political career but after she succomed to an Ides of March-style assassination.
The Sunday Times would also have us focus on the power behind the throne, the First Ladies: ‘Obama exclusive extract from his new book Michelle’s Whitehouse loneliness’
The Express hopes to dash the hopes of the anti-Brexit press who perhaps see their moment of opportunity: ‘Hold your nerve Boris. Brexiteers back PM after Cumming’s exit as he tells them there’ll be “no backsliding” over deal’

DAN HODGES: If the future is now all about wind farms, trans rights and wokery, Boris Johnson is doomed
The Dom Cummings era is over,’ the Minister told me. ‘But if we’re going to replace it with the Carrie Symonds era, we’re f*****. The environment. Transgender rights. If that’s what we’re going to be about, our coalition is going to fall apart. It’s not what our voters want to hear. We’re going to lose a lot of seats.’
To people watching from beyond the Plexiglass screen encasing Britain’s political class, the events of the past few days looked like a bad reality TV show. In fact, it’s looked like that to those on the inside. ‘I feel as if I’ve been watching an episode of Jeremy Kyle,’ one distraught Tory MP complained to me.

You may have missed this but Toady on Sunday this morning took the full conversion course to Marxism Today.
A full unapologetic, no questions, session was given to someone who argued.
1. That the vaccine priority groups should be elderly in care homes and people with learning disabilities.
2. That the vaccine technology should be shared out globally.
So it’s ‘from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs’.
BBC approved policy.
A world where there is no incentive to innovate, nor work hard for your family, and where wealth creation is at the bottom of the priority list.
The fact that there is no global example of Marxism outperforming capitalism in terms of wealth creation, and nor by the way poverty reduction, is conveniently swept under the carpet by the Far Left BBC.

We have so many “days” in this country now, maybe we should have a Churchill day, where we are reminded of some of his remarks as I have used above,
and, for example (RE “mental health issues” with muslim terrorists?) dealing with Pakistanis in 1898 :
It is, thank heaven, difficult if not impossible for the modern European to fully appreciate the force which fanaticism exercises among an ignorant, warlike and Oriental population. Several generations have elapsed since the nations of the West have drawn the sword in religious controversy, and the evil memories of the gloomy past have soon faded in the strong, clear light of Rationalism and human sympathy. Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men’s passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside. The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting
As they say, plus ca change….

2. More silence. This may have been for Armistice Day but a bit late. Maybe it was for Divalli.
3. The National anthems were followed by yet another pile of BLM taking the knee dross.

SUNDAY Watch #1 – Wot! No questions?
Ed Stourton was in the multi-occupancy chair again and by the time I switched on they were into a lengthy piece about child and other sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church. A perennial favourite of the Beeb and a certain person on sick-leave but ones that might make Ed, RC himself, squirm a bit.
The real interest came in a little filler piece, a divertissement, in an interview with an artist from Beirut in Lebanon. This lady has made some sculptures from the rubble after helping people clear their homes that were damaged after the warehouse explosion that the BBC, at the time, attributed by the BBC to the supposed spontaneous combustion of sacks of ammonium nitrate a.k.a. fertiliser.
Anyway, art apart, there appears to be lots that the BBC are not telling us about Beirut and Lebanon. I’m tempted to get into some investigative journalism myself, with Jeremy Bowen obviously content to sit around on his fattening bottom and not investigate the dangerous territory that is Lebanon.
The artist hinted several times about the ongoing conflicts in the capital and country. At no point did Ed Stourton, a journalist who has reported on Lebanon in the past during the Israel ‘crisis’ or ‘conflict’, ask this artist what was going on in Beirut and the wider country. No questions, no information for the listener.
What is the BBC covering up, if anything? Why so coy?

“Almost all of the major media organisations in the UK are based in London. Much of the British media is concentrated in London and is sometimes accused of having a “London bias”
“Its estimated mid-2018 municipal population (corresponding to Greater London) was 8,908,081, the third-most populous of any city in Europe and accounts for 13.4% of the UK population.”
“Something quite remarkable happened in London in the first decade of the new millennium. The number of white British people in the capital fell by 620,000 – equivalent to the entire population of Glasgow moving out.”

Someone should ask them how you can be racist against a religion and how the dislike of Islam based on what they have done can be classed as a phobia which is an ‘irrational fear’.
But of course even asking those questions would label you as a racist to these cretins who have weaponised such terms to use against people with different views.
They are the worst kind of hypocrites. Muslims are the most racist people of all.

And, of course they are such sensitive souls, are they not, when challenged or criticised, any examination of the cultures they have come from will reveal how they value tolerance and individual rights, womens rights and other minorities and religions
and they treat our children, our culture and our laws with equal sensitivity do they not
I am struggling to think which minority is the more sensitive, Islamist or travellers, each so offended by criticism, yet each showing such compassion, towards animals, other fellow humans of other cultures, and law abiding tolerance to all
Perhaps we could make all new traveller sites in islamist areas where they could share their grievances in harmony ?

From the Guardian believe it or not, but maybe not black enough to be overlooked:
‘They’re sophisticated, clever – and they always deliver’: from the ports of Europe to the streets of London, one criminal network is now at the top of the UK’s £5bn trade
Mark Townsend Home Affairs Editor
@townsendmark
Sun 13 Jan 2019 07.00 GMT
Something had kicked off the night before and the guys on the corner were keen to offer advice. “You don’t want to be hanging around here too long,” one said, refusing to elaborate. They were standing near Crispe house, a tower block on east London’s Gascoigne estate, undisputed territory of Hellbanianz.
The gang, an Albanian street crew of drug dealers, is known locally for its violence and more widely for a social media output featuring Ferraris, wads of £50 notes and gold Rolex watches to help enhance its reputation and recruit “youngers”. The Gascoigne estate, built in the 1960s and occupying land that slopes south of Barking town centre to the Thames, is its historical home turf.
It was getting dark, another two men appeared and, when asked if they were Hellbanianz, one said: “You should go.” The Observer was escorted off the estate and told not to return.
Hellbanianz belong to the “retail game” of the cocaine trade. They are the street dealers and enforcers of the Mafia Shqiptare, the Albanian organised criminal syndicates who, the National Crime Agency believe, are consolidating power within the UK criminal underworld and on their way to a near total takeover of the UK’s £5bn cocaine market.

The Albanian drug gangs who flaunt their wealth online: London-based mafia use videos to recruit more footsoldiers to the UK as Lamborghini and Rolls Royce-driving rappers glorify kingpins ‘linked to cartels’
Albanian gangs have now forged direct links with brutal Latin American cartels
They’re trying to persuade Albanian criminals to smuggle themselves into the UK
They do this by posting images of themselves with machine guns and bank notes
Middle-class drug users swelling vast profits of the Albanians’ criminal empire
Based in housing estates in Barking and Dagenham in East London, many of the gang members’ parents came to the UK in the late 1990s. Formed in about 2002, the criminal lifestyles of the Hellbanianz’s gang members is glorified by a rap group of the same name. Professionally produced music videos that depict swaggering young men flaunting their wealth have elicited a huge following.
The video for the song Hood Life, first posted two years ago on YouTube, has been viewed more than 10.3 million times and features fearsome masked men and a scantily clad woman sitting on the bonnet of a white convertible Rolls-Royce Phantom on the Gascoigne Estate in Barking.
‘My Albanians, hold on to your Kalashnikov rifle, Albanians, you are being reduced to sawdust,’ sings a gang rapper called Vinz, whose real name can today be revealed as Ervin Selita, 26.

The 1991 census recorded only 338 Albanians in England. In 1993, the figure had risen to 2,500.Most of them were young Kosovars who avoided recruiting into the Yugoslav Army, who had sought political asylum.
In June 1996, a Supreme Court decision accepted that Kosovo Albanians were persecuted in the former Yugoslavia. This meant that all Kosovo Albanians should be granted residence permits in Britain.

Recorded a year ago, it is well worth watching: Hannity and Russ Limbough. The latter gives a thorough and accurate appraisal of the Left/Marxists.
In essence, it is pointless trying to appease them as they are brainwashed beyond recovery. I was reflected on this interview while I read through the latest arrival from Gatestone:

I thought I would watch a history of the Royal Navy which I found on the internet. It’s a 4-Part BBC program presented by Dan Snow. (son of John) called Empire of The Seas.
It was made in 2010 so I had hoped it would be largely free of anti-British BBC excrement. They did used to be good at history programs many years ago.
My hope was in vain.
Britain, a tiny insignificant, poor, backward little island then-BANG! the next week- evil slave ships that terrorise the whole world.
Nothing in between, no exploration or cargoes of exotic spice & foodstuff. No trading of anything but African slaves. No one settling in the Americas, no defending the coastlands from raiding corsairs. just a cargo of African slaves immediately. From a tiny, backward little Island no one had ever heard of to the terror of the seas overnight.
Spain- the greatest power in the world.
Drake a vengeful bastard.
Victory over the Spanish Armada? Well anyone could have done it. The feeble English just got lucky. It could easily have gone Spain’s way.
Dan Snow sulking in a “My-God-I’m-embarrassed-that-I-have-to-be-English!” kind of way.
I turned it off at 20 mins. Couldn’t stand it anymore.
Does anyone know of a good documentary on the history Royal Navy ?

Today is Churchill quotes (from me anyway)
CHURCHILL’S description of the Royal Navy is included in the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations as having appeared in the book, Former Navy Person, by Sir Peter Gretton. The Oxford Dictionary suggests that Churchill’s phrase should be compared with naval phrases dating from the 19th century – ‘Rum, bum and bacca’ and ‘Ashore, it’s wine, women and song, aboard it’s rum, bum and concertina’.
It looks as though here, as elsewhere, Churchill took an earlier quotation and improved upon it. In The Irrepressible Churchill, compiled by Kay Halle (Robson Books, 1985), Churchill is said to have used the phrase in 1913, when he was First Lord of the Admiralty. According to ‘an ear-witness’, he was having trouble with some of his admirals at a strategy meeting. One of them accused him of having impugned the traditions of the Royal Navy, provoking the reply: ‘And what are they? They are rum, sodomy and the lash’.

By 2010 the rot had already well and truly set in at the BBC and metastasised throughout, infecting much of their output.
It is by no means a new disease.
Sadly there is no cure, and euthanasia is the most humane solution.

History of the Royal Navy (3-Disc Box Set) [DVD]
Amazon
Disc 1. The King’s Ships 1500-1599 1 x 44:00 min The story begins with the creation of a ROyal Navy under orders of King Henry VIII with ships such as GREAT HARRY and MARY ROSE and continues through the daring exploits of Sir Francis Drake’s GOLDEN HINDE and the revolutionary innovations at John Hawkins’ race built Galleons. Finally the climatic showdown with Spain’s invincible Armada in 1588 laid the groundwork for Britannia’s Rule of the Seas in the years to come. Disc 2. Wooden Walls 1600-1805 1 x 44:00 min The 17th century saw Britain’s war efforts aided by Samuel Pepys’ codification of naval tactics in The Fighting Instructions which transformed naval battles from uncontrollable melees into linear chess games to water. A little known Scottish landlubber named John Clerk further stimulated naval tactics and when Admiral Horatio Nelson took the helm of HMS VICTORY at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Britain’s mastery of the waves was re-established. Disc 3. The Sun Never Sets 1806-Present 1 x 88:00 min Wooden Walls were soon replaced by iron and steel. When the super ship, DREADNOUGHT was launched in 1906, it sparked a naval arms race with Germany that culminated with the gigantic showdown at Jutland during WWi. After the loss of HMS Hood, Churchill’s rallying cry, Sink The Bismarck and the successful pursuit of the GRAF SPEE, turned the tide of WWII. The Falklands War in 1982 once again demonstrated the continuing resolve and effectiveness of the Royal Navy.

I would suggest you buy it now as maybe will be banned for racism etc, by those who are happy to claim the economic benefits of our previous empire and history whilst whingeing that it ever happened
in which case they would probably be where exactly ?
and in what economic circumstance ?
enough money for a bucket of water and millet maybe but not an iphone 10
Yeh, you deserve to be given back your dignity (sic) now give us back your dj decks, education, homes, iphones etc etc

But here’s a mystery: I can’t find the original interview on either Fox Business YouTube channel, or on Fox Business’ own website. More censorship?
