Deal or No Deal Part 2 – or somewhere in between ? BBC happily shouting about shortages and price increases and not lay any of this Project Fear stuff at the door of the EU . Nothing changes .

    I really, really, despise the media almost as much as politicians.

    Is there an F Ark?

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear…

    This is week just keeps getting better.

    The latest loud mouthed, bullying, two faced hack to be pictured breaking the lockdown rules they are so keen to enforce on the rest of us, is none other than… Piers Morgan. Oh yes!

    According to old blancmange face he had just jumped into a taxi without his mask, but, realising his mistake, immediately put it on. The photo suggests otherwise.

    Look, I honestly couldn’t care less if this sanctimonious creep went about wearing a traffic cone on his head. What gets me is his holier than thou, endless preaching to others. If any other public figure had been pictured flagrantly breaking the rules (other than Beth and Burley, obviously) he’d be down on them like a ton of red hot rubble. The man is insufferable.

    All three, Burley, Rigby and Morgan are the most horrible, haranguing bullies. I loathe all of them with a passion.

    Perhaps it’s too much to hope that Morgan might also face suspension, but we’ve still got him by the short ones…

    Whenever he starts one of his chin wobbling rants, his victim has a very good comeuppance.
    “Where’s your mask, Morgan?”

    Gotcha!

      I admit I don’t have direct experience of seeing these people much – but they do seem to take part in an ‘arms race’ of abuse / offence toward their ‘victims’/ interviewees.

      I suppose it’s entertainment rather than informing the viewer – but if they hold people up to high standards then they have to keep high standards themselves – and if they don’t – it’s a safari holiday in South Africa ….

    Sky News, BBC’s poorer and uglier young brother, has just said it is the UK that has made changes at the last minute to scupper the negotiations.

    This he intoned with authority, this is the view of the EU and member states of the EU.

    How can an entire news channel be pig ignorant of the French announcing last week, they intended to raid our waters, as Macron put it, for their ‘share’ of our fish.

    At the same time the EU changed the rules linking UK standards with those of the EU, saying that they could unilaterally legislate on our laws in the future.

    And why it must be ended . The BBC group think now believes it is superior to those who pay for it and ( still ) use its ‘products – and exploits what is still – for many – a monopoly – the ‘go to’ source of information – if only the damn weather .

    It is an infection now .

    Welsh Lamb is very expensive here in taffland because much of it is exported to the EU. A surplus of it would bring the price down at home . Also the livestock doesn’t suffer the long distance of travelling to the continent.

      one reason is that Muslims prize lamb
      as they can’t eat pig
      and often come from regions where beef is discouraged.

    BBC 6pm doing Project Covid Fear
    … Here is a vaccine expert who is afraid Xmas could cause big break out

    FFS She’s just like a random bloke in the pub, not a person with a proven track record in modelling.

    “The Covid numbers will soar at Christmas” narrative is one size fits all BS.
    It all very much depends on who meets with who.

    Many people live in a safe bubble will simply be meeting with someone else who’s in a similar safe bubble.

    A non-switched on person who just been sharing a lunchroom and toilets with 100 people is a different matter.

    Some family who all use their fingers to access food on a central plate
    is way different to a family who are eating piping hot food with knife and forks etc.

    Previous Covid outbreaks wouldn’t have happened if the chain had been broken.
    but we rarely hear about the chain and how specific people caught it outside their own homes.

    The MSM has reported that the Tory MP who was accused of rape is not to be prosecuted – a victim group is to appeal the decision . So far he has not been ( rightly ) named – apart from in bits of social media . Let’s hope it stays that way – al though judging by the calibre of Labour MPs it might be that one of the sistas used privilege to name him ……

    Countryfile dripped out the fakenews as usually that the London romantic view of the Countryside is the true one.

    Oh “aren’t AONB’s amazing they generate £19m/year”
    FFS that is nothing
    yet you MSM have spent this month telling us that UK fishing industry is nothing even tho it’s much bigger than that.

    “Oh Climate Change, sea level rise ..this island might disappear”
    Actually rivers carry silt to the sea
    .. so that as old islands disappear
    brand new islands grow
    etc. etc.

    Did @BBCCountryfile just show footage of Swallows during a piece on Swift’s?
    Yep

    @BBCCountryfile
    so many wrong images of the birds you are talking about its not good enough. Talk about Redshank and show Godwits, Swifts and show a Swallow flying as you describe Swifts flight #birds #notgoodenough
