    How will Sky News progress without such blisteringly popular, politically astute Guardian readers? An increase in viewing figures possibly?

    Shrewsbury maternity NHS trust scandal update.
    It appears 1800 children may have been impacted by this systemic failure of our NHS heroes. Quite a few died prematurely and one deduces un-necessarily.

    On the BBC1 6 pm news, this rated two minutes coverage at 6.20 pm.
    It was followed by the Kay Burley off-air story as mentioned above. And then by one about theatre actors performing on doorsteps. FFS.

    Yes, that is the priority list of the BBC for you when news about the NHS is negative.

    BBC1 6pm news explaining how a no deal Brexit would affect us in the U.K. one of the examples given was cheddar cheese and the tariff if we import it (presumably from the EU but not specified. I might suggest that we should have no reason to import it and that U.K. dairy farmers could be encouraged to produce more and the U.K. could become self sufficient. The BBC could have used this to attack the government and pointed out that UK farmers are going to have to reduce production to access support and allow the U.K. to meet its climate targets. I presume other countries don’t use any fuel in milking, getting milk to market, cheese manufacturing or transport to the U.K. and the BBC isn’t usually slow to attack Tory government policy.

    I think that the contributors to this website , including
    myself should try to understand why the BBC take some
    of the issues they cover so much to heart.
    Firstly it is important as the media partners of the anarchist
    Marxist BLM organization, it is only natural that the subjugating
    knee bending exercise before football matches should
    be such a feature of the BBC’S highlights programmes.
    Likewise the fact that the four men waiting to be executed in
    USA gaols for horrendous murders which I would not wish
    to let you know how they murdered their victims ,will be
    electrocuted, lethally injected etc etc before the devil incarnate,
    so far as the BBC is concerned Donald Trump leaves office.
    When reading the report of this on the BBC website, one can
    only think how mean spirited Trump is in not giving clemency.
    But one also has to understand the BBC’S attitude when reporting
    all of this. All of the men on death row are black. And black
    lives matter.Their victims not so much.

    Oh dear, the BBC have lost contact with the British public and their own people are criticising them over the BBC promotion of puppy selling businesses.

    ”The BBC sparks criticism
    Paul’s post follows shortly after the RSPCA expressed their concerns over the BBC Three series, which is still in production.
    They said the show, whose working title is Will My Puppies Make Me Rich?, could lead to “illegal puppy trades”.
    In a statement, it said: “We’re aware of this programme and are concerned that it is extremely irresponsible to encourage and glamorise breeding as a ‘get rich quick’ scheme which, in turn, could lead to serious dog welfare issues and fuel the illegal puppy trade.”

    Meanwhile, a petition calling for the show to be scrapped has reached over 95,000 signatures.

      Whats wrong with having a programme about selling puppies – puppy futures sounds like an ideal investment opportunity – can i put them in an ISA along with my seal culling company shares .

      2020 really is turning into one …

      Anyway – it seems that the EU is purposefully making demands to achieve a ‘ no deal ‘ .

      Then i thought – has the BBC ever been critical of the EU? I know we say there has never been a pro brexit output

      – add to this brillo tweeting that the British MSM has never held the EU to account and you see what i mean .

      The EU cant cave in because it has to show other dissenters the punishment / suffering imposed – a major miscalculation i reckon .

      Maybe in 6 months time the BBC will be eagerly showing us starving french fisherman with no where to fish ….

    Pub Covid cases : Tim Martin was on the radio
    and he claimed that since reopening after lockdown Wetherspoons count 8 million customer visits and zero cases of infection spread in one of their bars.

    After that Prof Hugh Pennington mentioned the New Zealand case that drives politicians’ fears.
    The March17 crowded St Patrick Day party at a MataMata bar.
    The narrative is that that one traveller returning from Ireland had caused the outbreak of 80 cases.
    However I double checked.
    The whole thing didn’t happen on on one night
    The guy was not their on the night but had been in their a few days before, he had worked there before he travelled.
    He knew staff and four of them did come down with it.
    So far from everyone getting it from one guy at once it seems more spread out.
    I wonder if he had shared food contact with staff and they’d got it and then maybe some cases came from food contact or pub toilets etc. not jut pure air transmission leaving a max of 20 cases from the party, which became 80 cases in the community.
    So that cast doubt on the idea it spreads easily in crowds
    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-coronavirus-returned-traveller-from-ireland-the-first-case-of-matamata-cluster/SPN3IHISTZ2ULS5G3PS5DCPQ3I/

    Pennington mentions Scotland did have a pub cluster in Aberdeen
    That seems to b around the Hawthorn Bar with first week cases being 13 and next week rising to 27
    as if some people had got in the bar, then brought it home spread it here, then spreading to tertiary locations.

    Of course at that time only strong cases could be seen.
    I suppose it reads like : for every 10 people that cop a viral dosage 3
    – 3 are naturally immune
    – 5 get it but so mild they hardly notice
    – 2 get it hard
    So you’d have 7 carrying the virus out of the room
    but you’d only link tertiary cases originating from the 5 milds if you looked hard.
    It certainly doesn’t look like 200 people can get it from one guy in one night by the air route. More like zero to 10 in a mildly crowded bar.

    6:30pm BBC local news #WhiteManBad
    A Grimsby Police Chief Inspector is on disciplinary trial for saying a racist word when describing a team colleague
    which he said he didn’t realise is racially offensive

    Go on BBC tell us what word
    ..nope they dance around it

    Look it is a word that implies the colleague is no different from white.

    In a simple discussion about what Covid precautions they should take
    He considered where to place team members
    eg he didn’t want to place Covid vulnerable in danger
    When it came to the black colleague someone said well he is BAME, do we need to take special precautions for him.

    He replied well he is not diabetic or anything and he’s fit, so I don’t see any reason to treat him different from the whites
    in fact look how middle class he is , he’s a *choc ice* more white than me.

    FFS They are having a disciplinary hearing about one word on one occasion
    Whereas the guy could have straight off complained if he found the word offensive and it would have been withdrawn.

    There are words that are used against black conservatives to say they are white like Oreo, coconut, bounty bar, Uncle Tom
    and they are mostly used by other non-whites to insult the guy as not properly black.
    Here the context was it was not meant as an insult AFAIK
    It’s totally different from when a word is used every day to demean someone.

    “Brexit: ‘Strong possibility’ of no trade deal with EU – PM”

    “Before the PM’s remarks, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer urged Mr Johnson to “get on and deliver” a deal, adding the outstanding issues “are capable of resolution”.
    Asked whether his party would back a deal in a vote in the Commons, he said: “We will look at it – and we will act in the national interest.”
    “But on a straight choice between no deal and deal, then deal is clearly in the national interest,” he added.”

    [
    “Before the PM’s remarks”, the opinions of the hard left have always had priority, with the hard left BBC.
    “act in the national interest”, also known as “rejoin before we leave”.
    The Left have been acting in the international interest since Marx was in short trousers.
    The opinions of real British have never been of value.
    It is difficult to establish who hates us the most.
    The lying hard left Globalists everywhere, but particularly in the EU.
    The Blacks and Muslims everywhere who have been encouraged in their hatred by the BBC and the Labour Party.
    The low IQ white mainland Europeans who have, for decades, swallowed the Commie bait, hook line and sinker.

      That would be the BBC’s favourite go-to airline, Ryan Air, Irish, or the ‘national’ flag carrier British Airways, part of Spanish-registered IAG?

      Don’t forget that UK airspace (and seaways) form the western gateway to Europe – no planes from the USA, no ships from China?

    Tectonic plates are shifting in America. Culture war and even civil war are in the air. Scandals upon scandals are piling up: the scandal of the MSM and Big Tech bias for the last 4 years (at least); the scandal of the Hunter and Joe Biden story and the scandal of the media cover up; the scandal of the rigged election and the media covering that up too; and now YouTube censoring the mere mention of election fraud; the conflict between conservative nationalism vs leftist liberal progressivism (which is neither liberal nor progressive)… the list goes on and on.

    And the good ship BBC sails blithely on, ignoring the biggest story in decades, failing miserably to grasp the zeitgeist; pretending all is well and soon their man will smoothly accede to power after a legitimate election.

    They ignore it because they don’t understand it, just as they never understood Brexit, or opposition to globalism, mass immigration and open borders, or the nationalist-populist parties growing in strength across Europe and beyond.

    To acknowledge all that would mean having to admit they’d been wrong, about everything, for decades.

    Just reading the article about the guy who was just executed in the USA.
    Now I can’t pass judgement in any way except that he was most certainly guilty and was give due process in a court of law.
    So reading the BBC article, I see they give one sentence about half way down which has evidence from the prosecution.
    Apart from that, the entire article is made up of quotes from the defence lawyers or others claiming the guy was more or less innocent as he was just following orders.
    Of course a defence lawyer is going to conjecture anything at all to try and get his client off. The BBC have done their best to infer it as fact without any counter arguments from the prosecution. A jury decided which one they believed.
    If any article ever deserved a ‘The contents of this article are disputed’ banner right across it, this is one.
    They would defend Jack the Ripper if he was black and Trump was involved.

    The Daily Mirror brings in Alan Titchmarsh to remind us that everything we watch being played out in our favourite TV dramas ain’t necessarily true to life: ‘I won’t watch The Crown, it’s not fair to my friend Charles’

    Show creators and producers tend to rewrite the past as they please.

    I’m sorry to shake the worldview of fans of Netflix’s Queen’s Gambit but there really never was a female world chess champion – women’s brains just don’t seem to be made that way.

    The Telegraph features: ‘Women’s rugby and dementia. A new concussion crisis’ – well ladies, if you really want to play “men’s sports” then go ahead, knock yourselves out.

    The Guardian features another goofy pic of media queens Kay Burley and Beth Rigby living it up in lockdown rule-breaking party mode. Now they’re no doubt suffering the sore head of the hangover: ‘Sky’s limit. Burley and Rigby to stay off air after covid breach’

    The Daily Express catches the national mood today, both in terms of lockdown and of Brexit: ‘All we ever wanted was our freedom’

    ‘Strong chance of no deal admits PM’ – so warns the ‘i’ newspaper in obviously disapproving terms: ‘Exclusive: Food price rise could mean £3 billion a year added to the cost of shopping, supermarkets tell i’

    Well, I could tell i that over this past year we’ve become somewhat immune to the pound sign followed by incomprehensibly large numbers and Project Fear has rather lost its sting. The frontpage of the Mirror carries an advert for wine at Tescos ‘25% off 6 or more’ and the Times frontpage ad promises ‘£10 off at Lidl’ – they’re German, right?

    The Daily Mail reminds us that our sainted NHS ain’t all it’s cracked up to be: ‘Baby scandal the NHS tried to cover up’

    The Times also has the story: ‘Health trust blamed after hundreds of baby deaths’

    Even the Guardian has to admit some administrative rejig might be needed: ‘Hospital scandal. Shake-up call to avert deaths in maternity units’

    But don’t expect any serious rethink about the direction of travel of our public heath juggernaut from the Gruan: ‘Virus tests for pupils as London heads for tier 3’

      Thank you for your daily summaries – they are valued…. so… I’m sitting in an airport business lounge heading back to Heath row. I’m the only one here – with about 8 staff . The BA flight is full – apparently – having waited 2 weeks for a cheap enough flight after various cancellations .

      I’m coming back to the 14 day house arrest -my area of NE London is proudly boasting a big increase in Covid infections . The hospital is traditionally one of the worst in England across all areas .

      The kids are apparently the most infected – yet they are keeping the schools open – but using mobile test units at the schools …..

      ….not directly BBC – but the telegraph has a new parliamentary sketch writer who – today – reports the attempts of EU proxies to raise an ‘urgent ‘ question about EU negotiations to try to get the government to ‘leak’ its position to the EU again .

      Do you notice that the BBC doesn’t go into detail about what the EU is demanding ? A mechanism binding us to change our laws when they change there’s? Who the hell is ever going to accept that ?
      The other thing the EUBBC does is to treat the EU as a solid block . Can you imagine the real panic setting in in separate nations who export loads of stuff to us – at the prospect of their export markets being destroyed by the Franco German axis ?
      No – none of that …. but perhaps the EUBBC is being a little bit less bellicose because it can easily be reminded of the Government majority and the manifesto upon which it was elected …..

      I caught a bit of the BBC UK news last night after watching the Chinese virus update – I’m no fan of rugby – but they had someone who played it who now has early stage dementia talking about changing the game .

      What I read was to ‘end ‘ rugby as a sport because of the head injuries which occur because of the nature of the game . Is that what is really being suggested ?

      At least with footy the ball now weighs the same as a balloon unlike the cannon balls of the yoof ….

      By the way – anyone reading this who deduces that I take dementia ‘light hearted ‘ – you could never be more wrong due to my years of personal experience of caring ….

        The idea that a popular narrative is myth
        is not something that is investigated by Mariana Spring
        Yet it her mob the BBC MSM that create those narratives
        like “OrangeManBad”

        Later in the vid
        Webb “Why is every viewer question about Jewish conspiracies ?
        ah it’s something that pops up on my channel
        .. cos I lived in Israel people presume I am Jewish, therefore a Mossad agent, therefore a defender of Jewish conspiracies
        .. I am not Jewish and I don’t defend Jewish conspiracies ..it’s just there is no evidence ..if you step forward with it I am open minded”
        People had been asking him if Jewish bankers had started WW1 etc.

          The BBC is very much at the forefront of driving what it wants to find and see trending, only to ‘investigate’ selectively on the basis it is an issue, whilst avoiding anything off narrative.

    “The UK unemployment rate was 5.0% in July-September 2020. The rate was 4.5% for people from a White ethnic background compared to 8.5% for people from minority ethnic backgrounds, although there was substantial variation between different ethnic minority groups.”

    https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn06385/

    I demand that advertising agencies and the Biased Broadcasting Company (The Worlds Most Trusted) et al. urgently step up to the plate and seek to replace white advertising stooges and white employees immediately from the ranks of those who don’t want to work.

      There might be a difference between those claiming to be unemployed and those actually unemployed.

    The BBC is reporting that Harrison Ford (78) is to return in ‘Indiana Jones and the care home escape ‘ in which the plucky Indiana tries to escape from a Care Home – but can’t remember why .. ( like me and the whereabouts of me keys/ specs / glasses / wallet ….)*

    *if you accuse me of flippancy over the issue of Care Homes – I have suffered personal grief this year by not being able to visit a lady I knew my whole life – I was not able to say farewell in the days before she died – not from the Chinese virus ….

    What, (apart from dictat of his communist masters) accounts for Sullivan’s extended zeal to, ‘get Flynn’ at all costs?

    At the end of that analysis, can only be, pure and simple: Racism.

    Why dont they ask him why Australia isn’t offering unlimited fishing rights etc to the EU to get a deal?

      They know it wasn’t but they will claim it was because in the world of those Pol Pot secret admirers, the ends justify the means.
      I’ve seen enough proper hate and spite on the forums to realise the Left would eliminate the Right if times were different. I can absolutely understand how they have murdered so many millions over the years.

      If it’s a muslim and they don’t find direct evidence ISIS is involved, they anounce it is not terror related.
      If he’s white (as in Finsbury park) it is immediately announced as a terrorist event. If there is any delay in doing it, the Muslim council will join in to demand it.
      That’s the level of hypocrisy we are dealing with.
