    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

    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.

    Black History Month has continued apace and has morphed into Black History Matters [Much more than any other] as the BBC becomes the mouthpiece for the extremist BLM movement and earnestly tries to impress upon us why we really, really need to know this stuff. Of course you might ask when they will find time for the Irish or Scots or Polish or Jewish or French or Asian or American History ‘Month’, I just don’t know. If I was Asian I think I’d be pretty tee’d off as the 3% of the population that is black seems to have hijacked the media, advertising, corporate and political world….when do you see an Asian face in advertising? Rare to never when compared to black faces now….every ad on Youtube is almost always fronted by a black person. Guess the Muslim radicals will have to chop off a few more heads to get the BBC back on side and reminding us how Muslims are the real victims and once agan flooding the airwaves with pro-Muslim narratives.

    ‘One lesson well understood in both Stalin’s Russia and nazi Germany was that propaganda is most effective when it is backed by terror’…Sir Alan Bullock. Historian.

    BBC has a not so subtle acceptance and understanding of terrorism as a legitimate part of the democratic process should you feel that the system does not give you everything you want. A mere tool of dissent….however, you need to be the right skin colour or have reliably anti-British credentials ala the IRA.

    As you can imagine if you allow the BBC to write the history it will be a history that comes from a very particular viewpoint….not so much history as preaching. A not so surprisng example of this is its ‘The Corrections’ programme whish seeks to ‘correct’ our mistaken view of events….and luckily for those Asians, Muslims, it seems the BBC has not totally forgotten them.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000p8xv

    In November the BBC decided we needed to be re-educated about the infamous Trojan Horse affair where Islamists tried to hijack British schools and turn them into Islamic propaganda centres. The plot centred on one Tahir Alam, a MCB official, that the BBC asks of ‘is he the villain or the hero of this story?’

    Clearly, given the nature of this programme, ‘The Corrections’, and that Alam was indeed found to be a villain, we know what the verdict will be….and indeed you won’t be disappointed….despite the BBC admitting that he himself admits to being an Islamist and wanting to Islamise these schools he is a ‘hero” because he did it with the best intentions in mind….Islamic values will only improve the lives of the children. Presumably the BBC agrees.

    OK…so if you ony had the best intentions then anything goes? Say Hitler’s ‘final solution’ was done to, in his eyes, improve the lives and prospects of Germans and the German nation….so that’s OK then in BBC logic?

    The BBC has never accepted the truth of what went on in the Trojan Horse affair…it has always called it a hoax despite large amounts of evidence [and indeed Alam’ own admission]…the BBC’s ‘gone native’ midlands reporter, Phil Mackie, told us that people reporting the Islamisation hijack were not only racist and islamophobic but paranoid too. Except not so much eh?

    He has this on his Twitter description…‘BBC correspondent. You’ll miss us when we’re gone.’….Nah, again, not so much.

    In 2007 Alam, in his role as MCB official, produced a document that was sent to every education authority demanding they make schools conform to Islamic principles in order to make Muslims feel comfortable…because if not they might feel marginalised….get angry…become radicalised….and start blowing things up. Pure blackmail of course….and the investigation into the Trojan Horse affair declare that this document was the ‘blueprint’ for the Trojan Horse takeover.

    So, the MCB, the most representative body of the Muslim community according to the BBC, was front and centre of an attempt to hijack and islamise British schools.

    The BBC of course never reported the existence of that 2007 document as it gave the game away….the paranoid racists and islamophobes were actually right.

    But…if you have the right intentions it’s OK…and as the BBC’s Mark Easton said, the Islamist extremists and radicals can be compared favourably with Mandela, Ghandi and Churchill.

    Don’t leave the BBC to write The History….it won’t be the real History but a very skewed version of it turning villains into heroes and heroes into villains.

    LOL….you can’t say ‘faggot’ or ‘slut’ as part of a song telling a story on the BBC [unless you’re a racist, sexist, bigoted dinosaur listening to Radio 2] but you can watch murder, rape, drugs and violence as entertainment on the BBC.

    You can of course use terms of racist and sexist abuse if you actually sincerely mean them rather than merely as part of a fictional but representative of true life story. You can use the offensive term ‘male, pale and stale’ or ‘karens’ or ‘White privilege’ or ‘Gammon’ and you can suggest throwing acid in the face of those you disagree with or indeed promote the idea that you should ‘Kill Whitey’.

    You can indeed actually ‘Kill Whitey’ with bombs, trucks and knives and the BBC will cheerlead your cause….you were upset at being marginalised, disenfranchised and discriminated against…thus you had to fight for your rights….you’re a hero…like Ghandi, Churchill and Mandela. The BBC likes you.

    Mass murder is fine, both in entertainment and indeed real life….But ‘Faggot’ or ‘Slut’…..

    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.

    Curious contrast….Trump is mocked and vilified for his claim that he was robbed…but Clinton gets the red carpet treatment for her whining over 4 years that she was robbed. She has never accepted defeat and the BBC is more than happy to wheel her in to voice her complaints.

    However, Trump is right, he was robbed…just not in the way he claims. Whilst there undoubtedly would have been some dodgy goings-on in the polling the real robbery was over the course of the 4 years of his Presidency when practically the whole of the media, political establishment and much of the ‘Swamp’ including intelligence agencies worked against him….not to mention our very own BBC and The Beauty which never had a good word to say about him or his policies.

    It’s not the Russians corrupting US democracy, it’s the ironically named Democrats and all those supposed supporters of democracy and liberal values in the Media who have done Putin’s job for him by sowing instability, distrust, polarisation and division across the US political system.

    I guess you just have to destroy the system in order to save it…and maybe have a ‘Great Reset’.

      Pug,
      What truly amazes me is that when all the reporters/commentators have their speculative say, the 85 million that actually voted for DJT are totally forgotten. It could be fear but for the commies, deeper thought is absent. But fear of what would happen if they rose up? 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.

      It is only brute force and numbers that has any effect these days.

    Further to the Millwall fans and their ‘outrageous’ behaviour. I believe precedent has been set with a certain Roy Larner, Lion of London Bridge with his “**** off, I’m Millwall”. (Not to mention the Tebbit story at Euston, if memory serves).
    Just thinking that maybe Millwall fans could do a better job of running the country.

      Don’t forget Danny Baker!
      I’ve listened a lot to Danny over the years and that phrase that he used to describe the royal baby is one he’s used many a time but that time the subject matter just happened to involve a bit of blackness.

      My belief about Mr Baker is one that similar to Ms Thatcher and the tennis player…Danny wasn’t one of them ie a rabid lefty.I remember him commenting about coming into Broadcasting House one Saturday morning on the day of some big lefty march in the capital and saying that there was a van outside the building handing out Socialist Worker placards he said something along the lines of them being in the right place to give them out it wasn’t the first time that he’d mentioned the BBC being a hotbed of left wing activism!

    ‘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…
