    Just too many coincidences that COVID is just another con from the world’s hoax workshops. The swamp is about to emerge and take us all prisoners in our homes. Let out for good behavior. The media seem well versed in banning hate speech, as if in Unison it makes any sense, when looking outside our own its obvious to me what os going on is a global power-grab reset of the western nations economies and populations. It used to be called Eugenics. They are using economics and legislation to cripple economies and reset to ‘new objectives’ not far short of taking us all back to the middle ages. Its all co-ordinated and I doubt the media have any choice but to back it as is government policies across the globe working in unison to fight a pandemic that will be used for the next 50 years as a continual false news crisis, where everything and everybody that opposes the crises is a heretic.

    If we don’t die easily, they have another nasty disease further up the line. I don’t doubt they believe that Eugenics is a good idea as is very fashionable once again – both for and in the BBC – that ‘poor people’ (not them) should not have children. Marie Stopes campaigned for it all her life. And now its promoted across the globe as both Foreign Aid and signing up to enforced anti-family measures that we get fed daily by the BBC. Its widely sponsored by globalists such as Soros and Gates and has clear links to the Agenda 21 movement for change. This is no coincidence. Its all connected and ironically we are being led back to the Second World War as the reason we should all ‘quarantine’, and ‘depopulate’, and be happy. A Brave New World.

    Boris is a fag in this, keeping his head down but not brave enough to stand up to the swamp as Trump did. The lefties think this is all for their benefit, but they are just the stooges. Nobody benefits apart from a select few, who think they now have total control of the entire population of the world. Bar Russia and China. We got out of the EU to be pulled back into a bigger vortex that the EU was always a part of. The EU was the tool and why money means nothing to these people, they own it, they print it and they can make it digital and call it credits.

    Money, is now digital, and they have the means to control it for the first time since the last great war.
    A new religion is upon us as the great greening by a (so called liberal) mafia that use Marxist tactics to force hard global choices which may prove to be false choices and harmful to both the environment and our identity (which will be eroded to absurdity).
    If we disagree its instant media blasphemy.

    There is a huge shift underway. We cannot trust what we hear on the media, but the extend can be monitored on the BBC how far they are willing to go to destroy the identity of individuals who oppose something as insidious as vaccination.

    Sterilisation is next no doubt, not far away. But in the meantime lets all abolish the family tenant, the hope of a family by endorsing and abolishing sexual stereotypes and concepts and hope. Attraction between the sexes must be abolished and ridiculed. This new norm shall be protected by Equal Rights and called diversity. Protestors can be charged with hate crimes.

    Not much of a future. But keeps the BBC in clover.
    A new empire to control for Eugenics and thought control. A Perfect fit. If only they were more in charge of the global money…

      Hopefully when crowds are allowed back in large numbers there will be plenty of booing and protests about ‘taking the knee’ . If there are then what will football do? My bet is that clubs will threaten to ban any in the crowd who participate in such protests, that players will threaten to strike, the Guardian will claim the BLM is fully justified in claiming the Britain is racist .
      In my view such protests would be the inevitable and fully justified reaction of ordinary white folks to the war that is being waged on their culture and them by the elite. If the elite try to punish any protest against ‘ knee taking ‘ the fans should retaliate by refusing to go to the grounds and refusing to watch on TV. This is what the Americans are doing and we shall soon see who holds the power when ordinary people refuse to pay to continue to be abused .

      We’re currently living in a terrifying era of disinformation and relentless propaganda. Dissenting views are not only deemed deplorable, but are largely hidden or, quite simply, banned. To hold an opinion that the UK is *not* a systematically racist country, full of horrible white men that hate non-white people, is seen as heresy. The left want it this way, so that rational discussion never sees the light of day, which leads to most of the population thinking that this left, illiberal, thinking is actually mainstream. It isn’t. Any pushback against BLM will, almost certainly, be banned – implicitly or explicitly.

      I do believe that a lot of these people supporting BLM don’t realise that they are supporting a movement, rather than supporting the idea that racism is bad (as if anyone other than a tiny, tiny, minority, thought otherwise). Forcing the population to think/talk in a certain way only drives those opinions out of public discussion, but that changes nothing. It’s only honest and open discussion that changes minds. We saw the same failing left strategy with Brexit. Personally, I’ve started saying openly what I believe – letting the easily offended get on with being offended – it’s the only way I can see that we fight back against the Orwellian world we find ourselves currently living in.

    Radio5 Dead sports news masturbating themselves into a frenzy over the wwaaayyycciiiissssstttt booing at Millwall FC yesterday (good on yer Lions) and they play a clip of the noise. Que outrage and horror from Dion Dublin and another privelaged black ex player.

    The beeboid tells us it was a small minority of ‘fans’ and roundly condemned by players, officials and the FA. No comment I see from fans however, sick to the back teeth of their game being hijacked for political purpose.

    Also Al Beeb say it didn’t happen at other grounds and Chelsea fans clapped during the kneeing. No clip played tho.

    My message to Al Beeb, there is no evidence to back up your claims so this (like most of your ‘journalistic activism) is disputed.

    Dear BBC
    I can trace my family back to the rural economy of England in the 1770s, where they were working as farm labourers and continued to do so until the advent of Victorian industry.
    At no stage in the last 250 years has my family had anything to do with the slave trade.
    Therefore I have nothing whatsoever to apologise for, so will you kindly stop your anti-white racist propaganda and self-flagellation on the matter, which is clearly aimed at people like myself.

    Yours faithfully

      It ends by

    The weekend papers: or just the frontpage of those the BBC puts top of their list this weekend.

    Top marks to the Observer that manages to twist a vaccine story into a Brexit scare tale on Sunday: ‘Military planes to fly vaccines in to avoid ports hit by Brexit’ – my notional and sarcastic top marks but BBC top billing for the Observer as that slice of agenda pushing sophistry makes the left-leaning paper number one in the BBC’s list of frontpages.

    You have to laugh. Read on and find the Observer must have spoken to civil servants and got them to acknowledge consignments: ‘…would be brought in by air if road, rail and sea routes were subject to widely expected delays…’ – widely expected by who? We are not informed, but failing all that we could just stick them in picnic coolboxes and float them off Calais in rubber dinghies, they’re sure to get through with the odd naval escort picking up the strays.

    Perhaps I mistake the BBC’s motives for their placing the Observer in number one spot on Sunday?

    Maybe it’s the Observer’s lovely aerial pic of blue sea and ice (global warming, nudge, nudge) Seems our brave flyboys are in the limelight again – not content with waiting for the call to scramble for an emergency airlift because armies of French customs officials have blockaded our road, rail and sea routes, they’ve been sending our topguns up with cameras – not to espy Putin’s latest military deployments but to ape David Attenborough’s nature photography: ‘An RAF aircraft captured this image of the largest iceberg ever recorded near South Georgia in the South Atlantic’ – while you’re down there admiring the scenery lads, keep an eye on the Argies will you? Let’s not get caught with our pants down like last time.

    Like the recent stories about the hottest day ever somewhere in Australia these Antarctic tales of supposed global warming rely for their impact on us forgetting it is currently summer time down there in the southern hemisphere.

    The FT on Saturday nabbed the BBC’s top spot. Once again it could have been the Brexit headline that piqued BBC editorial interest: ‘Johnson in EU call to unblock talks’ – the syntax is none too precise but a quick reading could be that it is Johnson who is blocking the negotiations.

    Maybe the BBC liked the FT’s: ‘Woman of the year’ feature in the FT Weekend Magazine. It’s quite some hen party, judging from the four faces that make the frontpage.

    Hilary Mantel – famous for seemingly endless historical Tudor fiction and of course admitting in an interview to fantasising about the murder of Margaret Thatcher.

    Ursula von der Leyen – apparently a very poorly performing German defence minister promoted out of the German cabinet by Merkel to her present plumb job at Brussels.

    At last the Financial Times recognises a business woman – Miuccia Prada. Not exactly a self-made entrepreneur since she inherited the name and business. Also the choice of this fashionista is not exactly breaking new ground for women in industry. I suppose she has had some success in this gay man’s world.

    And last but not least Patrisse Cullors – American artist and activist, is a co-founder of Black Lives Matter.

    I don’t know anyone who cares about or watches BBC Sports Personality of the Year but found this interesting.

    https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/motorcycling/jonathan-rea-for-sports-personality-of-the-year-is-niche-and-regional-argument-says-gabby-logan-on-bbcs-fighting-talk-39828926.html

    Jonathan Rea has won six World Superbike Championships in a row, 2015 to 2020 inclusive. He has the most Superbike race wins ever. He finished second in the SPOTY in 2017 a few thousand votes behind Mo Farah after winning three Championships in a row. He doesn’t make the list at all this year however despite even more success.

    According to Gabby Logan, who looks like the non-sunbed-addicted sportier little sister of our friend Mateless, his sporting achievements are “niche” and “regional”. So said the ex-rhythmic gymnast from Leeds during her show on Radio Five Live on Saturday morning, betraying I think the mindset and attitude of the BBC in general.

    I’m no great fan of motorsports but am from the same region as Rea so am perhaps a little biased. He does seem to be a decent enough bloke, married with kids and determinedly non-political, and no-one can dispute his dominance of what is a dangerous and demanding sport. As previous recipients have proven “personality” means little when deciding the winner of this award, see Mansell and Murray for starters, surely his sporting achievements, no more “niche” than Formula 1 or Flat Racing, should merit some BBC recognition.

I suspect that if that 85 million rose to do something about the theft, the country would grind to an immediate halt until the rest come to their senses.

    BBC programme selectors you’d better put on some more progs specially aimed at the 3% of the UK that are black otherwise people will say bad things about you, say that you are racist etc.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-55192772

    I (unfortunately) read this long piece, a pointless historical article, making it sound like a fun crime caper. .
    “Oh i wonder what the feted black panthers are doing today” kind of thing…
    Basically ( reading between the lines )
    Race victims in America hijack a plane to Algeria, realise Africa is a sh#thole, so send the kids back to USA and move themselves to France.and Portugal.
    Any irony naturally lost on bbc..

        Ah the Love Thy Neighbour series 1972
        about “Eddie Booth (Jack Smethurst) a white socialist
        and the black couple who move in next door. ”

        The views of white Eddie were presented so as to make him appear ignorant and bigoted and were contrasted with the more tolerant attitude of his wife.
        “In nearly every show, the white neighbour was shown to be wrong”

    Gosh – I’m stunned by the article I just saw on the BBC site:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-55192772
    They are glorifying his life and actually making a hero out of this guy for hijacking an airliner with 86 people on it. They let them off after they got the money – which means the FBI believed they would kill them if they didn’t get it.
    That article is absolutely disgraceful.

    Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but:

    ‘Fire tears through New York Middle Collegiate Church’

    Another day, and yet another church going up in flames!

    This particular church, in NY, seems to get special (front page!) treatment on the BBC website, I wonder why? ‘ The church is known for supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, LGBTQ rights, and efforts to tackle climate change.’ Ah, now I see.

    So many more around the world NOT getting any attention from the BEEB, or relegated to the ‘local news’, you’d be hard put to know it was happening.

    It really annoys me, not because I’m religious, I’m a complete atheist, but besides churches often being beautiful old buildings and part of the history and culture of many countries, this is just plain wrong and smacks of religious persecution. Something the BBC would be all over, if the religion in question wasn’t Christianity (or Judaism?).

    I wonder what is behind this strange ‘coincidence’ of hundreds of Christian places of worship around the globe ‘suddenly’ and ‘mysteriously’ going up in smoke in such a short space of time?… hmm, I really do wonder…

    Further BBC browsing informed me of the BBC guest presenters over the Xmas period:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-55171483
    Of the two white males I can see, Dean McCullough also presents ‘Wake up to Gaydio Breakfast’.
    Looks like a well-balanced line-up which is not sexist or racist whatsoever. Unless you are a heterosexual white male that is – but you don’t count so it doesn’t matter.

      The Head of Radio1 is Alex Hayden Jones. Openly gay and would regularly talk about his boyfriend when he was the studio director on the Radio Breakfast show with Chris Moyles a few years back.

          I am so, so glad I’m not a ‘yoof’ any more!

          PS A ‘hard of hearing DJ’? Isn’t a deaf DJ about as much use as a blind pilot?! The BBC are so wrapped up in political correctness they’ve become a parody of themselves.

      My phone is bombarding me with a headline from the Daily Telgraph that ‘Trump repeats false claims about voter fraud’.
      I find this particularly disturbing because they cannot know they are false until they are all disproved in a court of law (and even then it’s dubious these days).
      What has happened to the world ?. What a strange time we live in.

    Yes, the BBC are STILL banging on about a few hundred people exercising their right to free speech and opposing the marxist, police hating organisation that is BLM.

    The BBC are still painting the boo-ing as racist.

    Although quite what teams of predominantly black millionaire footballers have got to whinge about is never explained.

    item #2 a long advert against Scottish Salmon farming
    claiming that the mortality rate is 26% so the farmers must be evil.
    ..and then at the end they listed things that were included in the mortality
    one was predation another disease
    FFS you can’t stop seals and birds of prey killing the fish, never mind disease.
    And if you look at wild animals they often have a high mortlity rate.

    Readers and contributors to this site may be interested in a book called: Winners take all: the elite charade of changing the world – by Anand Giridharadas. It looks at the global philanthropy business and has a cast of characters including the Clintons. It reminded me very much of the recycling business and it’s prime beneficiaries, the petrochemical industries. Worth a look.

      The Supreme Court decision over Brexit changed my perspective on law and order completely. When a gasp goes round the courtroom, you know something smells bad. I thought we got rid of such corruption hundreds of years ago.
      If the bankers and their lackey politicians and everyone else whose entire status is dependent on the status quo where Joe Public is just the cash cow don’t want it, the law will be ‘interpreted’ to arrive at the correct result.
      My faith in Western civilisation is at an all time low. We are on a path to self-destruction based on narrow-minded greed.
      It doesn’t matter if Trump is right or wrong. He will be judged to be wrong.

      If it’s too warm, it’s global warming.
      If it’s too cold, it’s climate change.
      Meanwhile it’s an excuse to charge us taxation through the nose hoping we can make a small fraction change to the overall effect of the world.
      It’s like reducing the idle speed of an engine by 10 rpm and claiming you are saving the world resources.
