Well done , its nice to see someone else paying attention đ
Enjoyed the Pottery Throw down, but as usual (and why was I not surprised ?) my senses were ‘thrown’ like the clay. Mention was made of Rose the technician who places all the creations in the drier. Enter Rose, with swishy blonde ponytail and long frock, carrying the precious pots. Then Rose started to speak…….. really ? the deepest of voices that any bloke would be proud of. I couldn’t stop laughing. It never ends.

A geezer wearing a frock and a blonde wig is wishful thinking, not a ‘Trans person’. It’s hardly a USP nowadays!
Al Beeb and Tories beware , tomorrow morning at 11am Richard Tice will be announcing something big, they are launching their leadership team for Scotland and talking through their campaign ahead of elections in May.
Of course, that’s if the elections go ahead.
Watch live on you tube and Twitter .
Godspeed to the new common-sense party. Good luck to The Reform Party.
“Covid-19: Priti Patel defends police lockdown fines”
She is getting tough on Brits but not on ‘illegals’ on dighies .
Make them get a covid test within 72 hours before getting in the dinghy…otherwise they cant come
Just get the Royal Navy and Royal Marines out and stop them invading in the first place.
Simples.
IMHO the government are complicit and I smell a rat.
Taffman,
Big rat – the UN Migration Compact. If the UK had any intention to limit/halt the scandalous importation of Third Worlder’s, it would have ‘de-volunteered’ and extricated the UK from the Compact.
Wouldn’t it?
I’d concentrate on destroying the craft that they are using to make the crossing. There are rumours that they are being recycled back to France, to be re-used. If true, it’d suggest that the 2 governments are organising the whole operation.
Seems like the press is being used to groom us for the next stage of lock down –
Namely
6pm – 6am curfew
No religious premises
face masks All round
Closure of nurseries
Limiting exercise to thinking about it
Banning of happiness
I have to go get my car mot- ed Tueday – how can it be ok for a stranger to be in my car ? Plain dumb .

Don’t worry, the ‘stranger’ will sting you for PPE and an alcohol wipe on top of the MOT fee!
A nice little earner.
It’s only an issue if you’ve become paranoid over a virus with a 99.5% recovery rate. It wasn’t a problem last May for my car and it won’t be this year either.

Trump impeachment: Democrats prepare to act over Capitol riot
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55611630
“House Democrats plan to introduce a charge of “incitement of insurrection” against the president over his role in the violent storming of the Capitol.”
Shouldn’t that be phrased something like his alleged role or what they see as his role..?
“Democrats and an increasing number of Republicans accuse Mr Trump of encouraging last Wednesday’s riot in Congress in which five people died”
So why don’t the bbc state exactly what these people think Trump did to offer encouragement.
– BBC tweeting the story at 9:19pm
– BBC tweeting the story at 9:20pm
– BBC tweeting the story at 9:36pm
Contains this line
“But the party may not send any articles to the Senate for trial until after Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office.”
On Friday – Sargon went through evidence
That is a good video
Sargon laughs throughout the video at the idea that the event was anything like the level of violence of typical antifa events
(That is disrespectful to the 3 people that died unnecessarily
but it was a million people march)
But basically how media FRAME events in the intro is far more important than the actual truth in the video they show
eg ‘Here the insurrectionist mob forced their way past police’
video : shows cops opening the barrier
& people ambling in, as if on a tour
This is the whole fake news thing
You can show a truthful video, but you can frame it completely deceptively by scowling and stating things that the video doesn’t actually show
Sargon’s team from the start he has to say ‘the MAGA guys are bad bad insurrectionists’
cos otherwise Orwellian YouTube will ban his video
(his videos are multiple platform, but most watch on YouTube)
Likewise Trump’s & Kayleigh’s post Capitol videos both take the strange tone, cos they too have to comply to Orwellian YouTube.
I do wish Sargon wouldn’t laugh throughout, ..it’s not funny .. 3 people did die ..and the distortion by the establishment media is terrible.
Democrats in May 2020: “Riots are just the voice of the unheard.”
Democrats in Jan 2021: “TREASON!”
In Sargon’s video he reads out claims that listeners send in
One was that AndyNgo had identified at least 1 Capitol antifa
but I see no evidence that Ngo tweeted that claim
Now of course lots of Antifa were at the actual demo
The fact that no video of them INSIDE the Capitol has come to light is strange. Much of the video did come from their friends so maybe it was purged first, and Trump supporters are dumbly not looking at their own videos from the inside.
35m27s I don’t have it in my list but Andy Ngo confirmed that one of the guys there is an anti-fa prominent speaker.
He goes to BLM events a lot and he as of last night has been arrested for participating in this right so so there does seem to have been a small element of antifa at least”
On YouTube it seems 2 edited versions were made from the one live podcast.
– The Mostly Peaceful Capitol Storming
– Establishment Hypocrisy over BLM Riots
By the antifa guy .. they don’t mean actual antifa
They actually mean John Sullivan the founder of BLM Insurgence USA who I mentioned last week
Incredibly he appeared on CNN with all his video from INSIDE the Capitol making the claim that he was just an observer whilst everyone else were rioters
.. when he is actually on bail for all his previous BLM insurgence stuff.
Eddy,
Or, BBC – ‘There’s no evidence to warrant the claim that he encouraged’.
10pm BBC1 news we switched to hear âthe emoterâ Mark Easton with access to and film of a morgue. I am not sure it does much for the Bbcâs viewing figures. It isnât exactly what you want to see to induce a good nightâs sleep. We switched off.
They did but I paid particular attention to Eastonâs commentary in which, whilst stood in front of dozens of empty stainless steel body shelves in the emergency mortuary, he said âout of respect for the families of the dead, we are not going to show you any bagged up bodies but there are over 50 in hereâ. I immediately smelt bullshit.
If they were there, they wouldâve shown them on camera,
ADf
“emergency mortuary”
Mortuary, I hope its address was not released.
Risks being full of sex-starved camel shaggers in ten minutes.
Andy, I am not telling you what to think, rather reporting whatâs happening to me. I am a long time lurker, occasional poster.
On call Friday, I couldnât get into my hospital because of the traffic jams of private ambulances bringing or collecting (I donât honestly know) to the morgue. I have never seen this in any hospital I have worked in.
I am asking you, please, to think about how many people you might have seen in the past 48hrs who might be infected if you were to test positive. 9 colleagues in my department are currently ill, one (forty something, nil comorbidities) unwell on oxygen admitted.
I am aware that the media is shroud waving and trying to scare but we are struggling to cope with other imminent emergencies because our resources are tied up with Covid patients. Honestly, it is as bad – at least in my hospital – as is reported.

Evening , would you be so kind as to say which hospital and how many were diagnosed with Covid19 and how many with Flu? . How many were Stabbings or other ?
What “Private ambulances” ?
Thank you.
I would rather not identify myself, but district general hospital in S of England.
Covid apparently 400ish inpatients testing positive (and we distinguish between asymptomatic / minimally unwell who I manage at home and unwell requiring hospital).
Hospital wide I donât know about flu figures, but of the 14 I am personally managing at the moment none have swabbed positive for flu (i am a specialist who incidentally manages patients with Covid, they are rarely admitted under me)
Stabbings – are you asking about the asymptomatic by default? We have wards (I have lost my specialty ward to medical overflow) full of unwell, oxygen dependant patients. This is COVID rather than the well patients who have tested positive (you are swabbed on admission, day 3, day 5 and day 7.)
Private ambulances are used to move bodies to and from the morgue and funeral homes. The traffic jam was moving bodies to and from (I donât know which way around) the morgue and their number was causing delays to general traffic.

Thank you for your reply.
I have good reason to enquire about the state of the area that you presumably practise in . My area the undertaker serves, is unusually very quiet . Also, I have not seen any figures quoted for the flu fatalities? I have no doubt that the genuine posters to this site welcome you .
You must have had reservations about Al Beeb and itâs blatant bias to pop up in this site?
Absolutely, am grateful that I obtain information from other sources and agree that the BBC massively interprets everything through a Liberal left prism.
Flu surveillance data can usually be found at https://www.gov.uk/health-and-social-care/health-protection but the reporting mechanisms have been switched over to Covid at the moment. The info will be released eventually, but anecdotally I am seeing very little flu (we swab when admitting respiratory patients – this is not the main part of my workload, but I finish up with some).
I am surprised that things are quiet in your area as that does not tally with my experience, or that of my GP friends but can only comment on what I have seen directly.
It sounds as though most people are being sensible and avoiding too much contact outside the household, I am not intending to nag but it really is not good at work at the moment .
@Khaa There are two things you mention
#1Queues for a morgue
#2 Hospitals being busy with Covid
If ambulances are queuing for the morgue that sounds to me that one morgue has been designated as a Regional Covid Morgue so ambulances are bringing patients in from the region.
I am aware that people should be thinking about their possible Covid contacts in work and bus/taxi travel.
but there must a lot of people like me who have practically zero covid contact with anyone, since I’m never in the same space as someone for more than a few minutes.
I was at the dentist last week, but even that was just 12 minutes.
The charts today put London Covid at 1%, but that is five times more than in my region.
As ever it’s not good that colleagues are ill
but in a week most will be over it and have some immunity.
Thanks for your sensible non hysterical comments.
I do indeed limit my contacts, just me, the missus, a young adult son and a cat. I work at home (have done for 6 years now – since before it became trendy) as does the missus. I wear a mask on the odd occasion I visit a supermarket. I go out walking early mornings in a rural area when thereâs nobody around.
Would love to get back to normal, golf with my mates, meals out with family, a few scoops with the boys every couple of weeks. Alas, it isnât happening soon.
My point was to illustrate the way the biased bbc has handled the whole thing. Going out of its way to catastrophise every small detail. If Eastonâs report yesterday was true then the reason I didnât believe it was not that Iâm some kind of conspiracy theorist or covidiot, itâs because the biased bbc has got me and most of the people I know to a point where we donât believe a word they say.
Their fault not mine.
I think John Cadbury will be spinning in his grave to see the way chocolate is being advertised in these strange times.
I am not buying that brand any more . How about you ?
As mentioned in previous thread
I havenât touched a Creme Egg since they stopped using proper chocolate. So I canât boycott it .
Well, if parents want to stop their kids from shoving too much sugar down their necks, then this ad should do the trick. Yuck !
Nearly as good as the Flake ad they ran a few years back!
Where’s Frank Muir when you need him?
I thought we were supposed to be careful, “in these Covid times”, about exchanging bodily fluids? Hence those masks, which are supposed to stop droplets being emitted. So what about the saliva on the chocolate egg? What’s the point of stricter lock-downs? Perhaps Nigel Wrench (formerly of R4’s ‘PM’) wrote something of value about the risk of viral transmission …
You have to forgive them as it is the only way white males can get onto adverts nowadays, and radio 2
unless they have a black wife of course
Taffy ……. Nor me. I’m a cheap date, but my taste in chocolate is expensive – only Charbonnier & Walker will do it for me.

If even a fraction of this is true, they Washington crime syndicate is about to burn and the BBC is going to have to finally be brought to heel for their deliberate misinformation.
What can be confirmed is that Trump signed the Insurrection Act last night. That’s why there’s been several power outages including at the Vatican, where there was also gunfire heard. This is WW3.
Laughing at Lefties
Question: Has President Trump mentioned anything about this?
I find it very hard to believe .
How can that be confirmed?
Open the video on Youtube
the title is ALL CAPS
does that inspire confidence ?
2.3 million views 61K up votes 1.2K downvotes
Maybe time wasting conspiracy stuff
that works as a great distraction technique for the establishment ?
It seems that these days libmob assert stuff of value “4”
.. like “Trump lost the election nothing to see”
then Trump’s team put forward evidence of value “6”
like “hey we have a heap of evidence there was fraud and think we won a landslide”
Then people come along and assert a massive conspiracy theory of value “10”
like “hey there is a huge conspiracy all thee machines were programmed, we have these secret CIA raid in Germany”
or like “There is a pizza restaurant where Top Men rape children in the basement”
or like “It’s all to do with a secret Vatican network of satellites”
(which BTW I saw in a video today a retired army general repeat to a meeting
.. I guess there are 1000s of retired generals)
Then half of Trumps people get obsessed by the value “10” vast conspiracies
thus dividing the focus
and allowing MSM to dismiss ALL Trump’s arguments as mad conspiracies.
In such videos I want to see actual EVIDENCE in the first 2 minutes , not grand story telling.

Isnât it funny how Lin Wood didnât get banned from Twitter until after the election in Georgia.
Before the election he was encouraging republicans not to vote.”
FFS Trump lawyers Lin Wood and Sidney Powell
And they were both campaigning for Republicans to boycott the Georgia vote
Meanwhile Lin Wood posts death threat stuff on Parler afew times
recently “Get the firing squad ready. Pence goes firstâ
… The post was removed by Parler.
There was stuff in early December as well
That post that Parler deleted was not deleted by Twitter
they just left in on his Twitter account
After Parler deleted them, Lin Wood says his posts calling for Pence’s execution were “hyperbole.”
He didn’t really mean it.
Press reports mention Parler had previously removed some other Lin Wood inflammatory posts
Yesterday Lin Wood was posting giant David Icke stuff on Parler
‘they all in on it Pence etc, global paedophilia cover up, Trump have revealed banking fraud, Pope arrested ” etc.

Apparently 100% of power supply to the whole country went down in Pakistan yesterday.
None of this is true.
The coup against President Trump has succeeded. He will not be president after 20th January. Thus, he has no power any more. He can sign any act he wants, but the deep state will just ignore him. What is he going to do about it?
Democratic elections aren’t coups.
I quite like the idea though of Trump sitting in Mar-a-Lago signing presidential ‘acts’, which don’t have any authority. He never did sign many ‘acts’, just executive orders.
Actually, Mar-a-Lago is probably a best case scenario at this point. I’d suggest he sign them in the ADX Florence.
Something I scribbled earlier
More on the book TWATBBC .
Previously the authors have disputed that there is a âsilent majorityâ and if there is itâs not right leaning folk who do things like read the Daily Mail , support Brexit or who are patriotic.
Then they talk about the âpeople in the centre of the political spectrum â without saying who these people are or how theyâre defined â except that they love the BBC.
I would have thought people in the centre would be part of the majority!
The next paragraph the authors say they look at right wing â chargesâ against the BBC and then from the left .They invite one from each ( Robin Aitken is one ) to review each other and the authors summarise [spelt summarize] their works . I expect it will be in the best BBC tradition.
Then this ;
â We then look at the ACADEMIC [ my emphasis] evidence on the BBCs supposed left wing bias and relate it to to the IMBALANCE [ my emphasis] in the combined readerships of left and right leaning newspapers.
Iâll break into the paragraph here .
Academics ? Where would you find one not left of centre and why would they be any better than the people on this site ?
Relating to readership of newspapers?
How can you relate a state monolith to a free market ? Why stop at newspapers, why not the internet as well ( before Twitter style censorship) ?

TWATBBC book a bit more .
A subtitle in chapter nine :
âPinkoes and Traitors : The Right Wing Case
Iâm no psychiatrist, but Iâm finding the authors choice of words tells us more about them than they about the BBC , the book that the two of them wrote over a two year period.
Consider the first paragraph;
âThe main right wing case against the BBC is that it has an institutional left wing bias , reflected in its programming . This has been endlessly [ that word again] in books , newspaperâs articles and think tank reports for decades, now amplified, more raucously, by anti BBC blogs and YouTube channels.
These attacks [] focus mainly on the choice and treatment of interviewees on the BBCs news and current affairs programmes . The obsessive level of granular detail can be mesmerising.
Stopping mid paragraph there : the authors think that detailed analysis by anyone or any organisation that monitors the BBC is endless, raucous, amplified, obsessive, granular, wrong .
So are BBC investigations, analysis, uncovering of secrets , monitoring, detailed, the same ?
This is a chapter that later has a subtitle; Academic Research on the BBCs left wing bias .
Are they going to be granular, obsessive, raucous and a bit detailed?
I sincerely hope if someoneâs paying them something they will be robustly detailed analytical or someone, or some organisation is not getting their moneyâs worth.

A couple of points to what @Blackwell the disruptor wrote
(Blackwell continued his copy and paste which is the same as Wikipedia)
#1 @BW’s narrative is the FEC can’t investigate VOTING fraud, cos it has no quorum and that’s all Trump’s fault !
Is it ?
The rule is the FEC has 3 members from each party. People kept resigning, but Trump nominated new ones
May 21 news story The Federal Election Commission regains a quorum in the middle of the 2020 election cycle:
On May 19, 2020, the Senate voted to confirm the nomination of James âTreyâ Trainor
June “President Trump nominated D.W. Lafferty”
Sept : “President Trump nominated Allen Dickerson to serve as a commissioner ”
“He nominated Broussard and Cooksey in October. ”
So Trump HAD nominated people before the election
the senate had not confirmed them
BUT it did last month
December 9, 2020 The U.S. Senate confirmed three new members to the Federal Election Commission Wednesday, finally giving the agency enough commissioners to enforce campaign finance laws after leaving it powerless throughout much of the 2020 election cycle
So BW’s assertion is wrong
#2 BUT Does the FEC even judge voting fraud ?
You wrote (My bold) “to enforce campaign finance laws in federal elections”
ie seems it does NOT judge VOTING fraud
BTW Trey Trainor, Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairman
is often quoted
“Based on the info gathered from PA and elsewhere in the country, this presidential election is illegitimate.”
Yes it can be quite informing to check references, I was advised to in a fascinating book by Ben Goldacre “Bad Science” about how the msm at the very least misunderstand stastics and studies and at worst take things out of context or even misrepresent to suite their own agenda.
One instance was about self styled “nutritionist” Patrick Holford, very popular at one time with his “Optimum Nutrition Bible”
Packed with quotes in the text to references to “studies” etc to back up his claims
Goldacre searched these references and found some were just magazine opinion articles in womens lifestyle magazines and worse.
https://www.badscience.net/category/patrick-holford/
And further
“the ASA have found that Patrick Holford made untruthful, unsubstantiated claims in a leaflet he was sending out. Pasted below is the full adjudication and also the original advert in question, so that you can decide for yourself about the content, and Iâve also pasted my brief guide to making ASA complaints about dodgy adverts for a rainy afternoon.
Iâm in a bit of a rush, but there are a few things in this ruling which I find extremely interesting.
Most important is this: the ASA seem to be vaguely under the impression that Patrick Holford does not sell pills. This is incomprehensible to me. In the Holford books I have read he recommends pills, in fact his own, from the companies he works with, and indeed from his very own pill vending company. His face appears on pill bottles. His latest pill vending operation âHealth Products for Lifeâ has just sold for ĂÂŁ464,000. He has recently signed up with yet another pill company, Biocare, to sell even more pills with them.
To me, these are just some of the classic tell-tale traits to look out for if you think you may be dealing with a man who sells pills.
Now I speak as a man who is highly critical of the whole phenomenon of pill dependence, whether itâs the multi-billion pound supplements industry who have unbridled access to a gushing media, or big pharma peddling new diseases like âfemale sexual dysfunctionâ (Iâll post a lecture in which I discuss medicalisation in the podcast over the next few days).
I happen to think that while commercial interests are trying to persuade us that there is a biomedical, rather reductionist and mechanical reason why we are suffering from tiredness, headaches, shaglessness or heart disease, the real answers often lie in social and lifestyle issues which are intellectually simple, but motivationally and politically complex. Iâm talking about things like diet, exercise, and social inequality: good luck cracking them.
Anyway, the whole pill-selling thing is, of course, all the more amusing given Holfordâs frequent and rather surreal claims to have no competing interests, and his even more unpleasant and unsubstantiated suggestions that other people do have competing interests. For students of irony I very strongly recommend that you read this all-time comedy classic from the BMJ rabid responses here. It is pwnership, but on an unprecedented scale.
I could write about Holford from now until the day I die, much as these gloriously overinclusive people seem to plan to do. The only question is whether Iâm bored of him: there are things which could easily awaken my interest, and there is more, but Iâve got work to crack on with. Enjoy, and donât miss the instructions below for making your own ASA fun at home.”
Hi Stew,
I will always try to be accurate in what I write and argue in good faith. We all make mistakes of course, or repeat something we’ve heard as fact, and I hope I’m big enough to admit that. Anonymously on the internet anyway!
I was researching which bodies or organisations had pronounced on the veracity of the 2020 election when I came across mention of the US ‘Federal Election Commission’.
I immediately wondered what it had to say about the 2020 elections. It didn’t have anything to say, a dead end:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Election_Commission#cite_ref-:1_8-5
If it had happened to have something to say, or if it did investigate voter fraud, I probably would’ve researched that too with another source other than Wikipedia. Or I would’ve heard from it previously.
However, what it did say I thought was an interesting aside, I posted after my previous longer post and thought it was fairly clear it was from Wikipedia or a quoted source:
Perhaps a link to the Wiki page would’ve been better protocol.
I thought it was an interesting aside because it’s consistent with the high staff turn-over in Trump’s administration, and the many vacancies in his government (feel free to research this further!):
https://www.brookings.edu/research/tracking-turnover-in-the-trump-administration/
Secondly, it suggests that his recent great interest in protecting the integrity of US elections may not extend to the FEC.
However, nothing of what you have said disputes what I quoted from the Wiki page.
I don’t think I can be fairly accused of having a narrative of suggesting its Trump’s fault the FEC can’t adjudicate on voter fraud, when I’ve copied in the bit that says its role is in finance – its the first sentence when explaining what it is – which I could have left out if I had wanted to mislead:
‘It was created in 1974 to enforce campaign finance laws in federal elections’.
So it seems the commission was unable to function from late August 2019 to December 2020 (Trump was elected 2016)
‘It was left powerless throughout much of the 2020 election cycle’.
Campaign finance during a US election? Isn’t that important? Maybe Stormy Daniels knows something about that.
There could be up to 6 members on the FEC though right? Rather than 4? Trump could nominate two more, given the number of Republicans that keep resigning which he then has to replace? And given the Senate was Republican.
The Democrat who resigned in 2017 called the FEC ‘dysfunctional’. The great deal-maker could surely get in there and sort out it out? Maybe between the 7th and the 8th hole?
Its worth giving Trey Trainor’s page a read:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_E._Trainor_III
According to this he refused to recuse himself adjudicating on Trump, and thinks separation of church and state is a ‘fallacy’.
Trey is perhaps often quoted because he’s been the subject of pro-Trump disinformation:

“We really haven’t been briefed on any of it given that we don’t â you know, the states control the elections and the FEC really doesn’t have any jurisdiction over how these are being handled at the state level,” he said. “For the federal level, they would communicate through the Election Assistance Commission.”
Blackwell – someone here called you a troll the other day . So I looked at your post about the American election committee . I thought – âwow – if this post is true – then it might explain a lot â.
But now – after stew green has done the leg work to get closer to the truth – it turns out you peddle false claims – leaving certain bits out to fix your own narrative .
Before you come back telling us stuff youâd better get your facts right – the âall make mistakes â line doesnât play when you are trying to undermine the views of others using dodgy âcut and paste â ……
Iâll leave others to determine whether you are a troll or not .
Oh well, how frustrating. I can only suggest you re-read.
I’m doing you a public service really.
Best,
Public service, really? The BBC claim the same.
However, more like 77 Brigade disinformation tactics. Spotted a mile out.
He’s on to us boys.
77 brigade – currently on wiki – wonder where their office at the BBC is ?
I see from the FEC’s Inspector General’s report for September 2020 that 86% of its recommendations have been outstanding for more than six years, so it isn’t just Donald Trump that hasn’t given it the highest priority.
All a bit of a red herring really in the grand scheme of the government of the USA and no doubt completely off the radar of the BBC’s USA ace team who watched, split-screen, CNN and DT on Twitter and called it ‘news’.

Iâve re read – you withdrew some of your initial âmistaks after being found out by someone who made the effort of checking out your claim .
Can I suggest – if you only want to talk about president trump you find a more suitable website – or perhaps give us examples of an âunbiased bbcâ – which is the primary purpose of this site ….
Fedup2
“or perhaps give us examples of an âunbiased bbcâ â which is the primary purpose of this site âŚ.”
You beat me to it!
Then I suggest you read it again, including this bit:
‘However, nothing of what you have said disputes what I quoted from the Wiki page.’
What false claims did I make? What claim did I withdraw? I didn’t.
However, having researched the Federal Election Commission further, it seems that there is in fact ample evidence of Trump’s incompetence involved.
Stew Green’s ‘research’ is in itself misleading.
I’ll try again.
Stew says:
‘#1 @BWâs narrative is the FEC canât investigate VOTING fraud, cos it has no quorum and thatâs all Trumpâs fault !’
I quoted the info on Wikipedia about the FEC. This included the statement in the opening sentence that it was responsible for investigating campaign finance violations during elections. I’m not sure how that could be much clearer.
‘The rule is the FEC has 3 members from each party. People kept resigning, but Trump nominated new ones….So BWâs assertion is wrong’.
What assertion was wrong?
The FEC should have 6 members, 2 Democrats, 2 Republicans and 2 independents (not 3 members of each party as Stew stated).
They are nominated by the President and approved by the Senate. It has been dysfunctional for some years, including under Obama, seems largely due to political polarisation – one can see how it might be difficult to get nominees confirmed if that Presidency and Senate belong to different parties.
They seem to have all but given up on trying to get ‘independents’ on it. One Democrat resigned in 2017, and since several Republicans have resigned, and are ultimately replaced. (Not serving their 5 year terms)
The commission was unable to function from late August 2019 to December 2020 (Trump was elected 2016)….âIt was left powerless throughout much of the 2020 election cycleâ.
So Trump hasn’t managed to fill the FEC with the full 6 nominees or even the 4 that are required for it to function. Despite the Republicans having control of the Senate.
So Trey Trainor was eventually approved and made the FEC’s quorum of 4 complete, meaning they can function – not in time for the 2020 election though.
So what was the delay?
This from Trey Trainor’s Wiki:
On September 14, 2017, Trump nominated Trainor to be a member of the Federal Election Commission for a term expiring April 30, 2023. Trainor’s nomination languished in the Republican-controlled Senate for years, with Trump re-nominating him twice (in 2019 and 2020). During his FEC confirmation hearings, he refused to recuse himself from matters related to the Trump campaign.[9]
On May 19, 2020, the Senate voted to invoke cloture on his nomination by a 50â43 vote[10] and later that day confirmed his nomination by a 49â43 vote.[11] Trump’s nomination of Trainor broke a precedent; traditionally, presidents have made nominations to the FEC in pairs (simultaneously nominating one Republican and one Democrat); Trump’s decision to nominate Trainor alone was criticized by Democrats.
Stew quoted Trainor on election fraud. However, as pointed out, this is disinformation. (Funny, no-one seems to have a problem with that??)
https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/11/19/fact-check-fec-commissioner-has-no-role-election-integrity/6332242002/
“In the past week, comments that Federal Election Commission Chair Trey Trainor made have spread online as purported evidence of voter fraud and illegitimacies in the recent election.
RecentlyHeard.com, a news website, wrote that “The Chief Electoral Officer of the Federal Election Commission made a Bombshell statement, saying that, from what he saw in Pennsylvania, and news that he had come from elsewhere in the world, this election was unconstitutional.”
“Itâs not just anyoneâs making the announcement. Trey Trainor isnât just a state election officer, heâs a federal officer. And on top of that, heâs the chairman of the whole commission,” its story continued.”
As Stew himself is keen to point out, the FEC don’t investigate or pronounce on voter fraud at the polls (only election finance). Yet he quotes Trainor, giving his view weight.
As I wrote previously, Trainor said the below on election fraud:
âWe really havenât been briefed on any of it given that we donât â you know, the states control the elections and the FEC really doesnât have any jurisdiction over how these are being handled at the state level,â he said. âFor the federal level, they would communicate through the Election Assistance Commission.â
He’s a Trump acolyte that scraped through approval by the President’s own party, saying he thinks, based on stuff he’s heard, that the election was fraudently. He’s then presented as an authority.
What’s happened here is that Stew claimed I omitted to mention something I’d mentioned, and suggested something I didn’t eve claim, was inaccurate. Having investigated further the claim I didn’t make – it turns out to be accurate.
thanks,
More again TWATBBC book
Youâll see some hypocrisy here
The paragraph has:
âThe obsessive level of granular detail can be mesmerising.
They count the number of interviewees catagorised ( by them ) as left -or right-wing In a given in any given news item or on, say ,a Newsnight panel . They look at how these people are introduced and questioned by presenters . Did Emily Maitless give Tory a rough ride while letting Labourite off to easily ? Was the film package edited to give an unfairly negative impression of the right winger or unduly flatter the leftie ? Weâre they given equal airtime? These questions are endlessly monitored. Almost invariably the BBC is found to be at fault .â
Now I know later on in the chapter and probably the book the authors will defend the BBC using studies by universities and academics . Now how are they going to monitor any perceived bias ? Should they monitor, considering the authors think right wing monitors are bad , should they be detailed, or slapdash?
Should the academics collate data , or is that obsessive?
Should the academics be considered wrong if they analyse the BBC from a left wing perspective?

With Parler having its servers pulled by Amazon, Gab looks best placed to weather the coming storm.
In the meantime, how does one best cut the funding to Amazon, Apple and Google without cutting off oneâs nose? Iâm not going to ditch my iPhone and iPad just like that, so am stuck with what they deign to allow. Are there ways round Appleâs restrictions? I wonât be replacing them with Apple products when they expire, but thatâs a while off yet and will bring its own soul searching given Googleâs ownership of Android. In lockdown, Amazonâs service is excellent and I make extensive use of Prime, including films and series. So junking that isnât really feasible.
I acted in haste, to be sure.
I have thought about it long and hard, and still do not know if my decision was wrong for the right reasons.

However, I have decided to return to twitter.
I am already back on Facebook having totally failed to cancel properly by being an IT dunce. Which is a good thing. I run several things there which served good people doing good stuff. Plus I miss the cat pictures. And wishing folk happy birthday with a cheery GIF on the day having forgotten to send a card.
Twitter Mk.1 is sadly toast. A lot of good stuff and good people lost.
However it was tied to my businesses and given I was primarily active in areas where the establishment bears grudges there was already unwelcome, petty, malicious attention being paid.
So given it seems a stadium for ideological barnies, I will engage on this basis. No matter they own the stadium, the pitch, the ref and can move goalposts at will, and unperson you, the crowd is still mixed, with a majority in the seats and that bitter minority who think they run things in the boxes when not back in the hospitality area stepping over Bolly bottles.
So this is a case of it still being worth fighting from within. They need challenging on their own turf. The stay silent and your point is valid; they lose. They engage and dig a hole deeper; they lose. They ban you; they lose.
You on twitter, at night, Blackwell?
As Roland points out, whilst brands are easier to take a stand with, tech and retail dominance is less so.
I use Duck Duck Go over Google, but all here is Apple and will remain so until a sensible alternative presents.
Ditto Amazon, Prime, Netflix…
But soon I will return to twitter to ask them awkward questions.
Plus of course Knob, BS, Lewis, Marianna, Wendy, Chris, etc.
Some may even have to ban me, in a trusted and transparent fashion, with integrity. Again.
Power that presumes to hold others to account needs holding to account too.
Social Media: “Of course we believe in free speech, you can say whatever we like”
I agree with you Roland apart from Amazon. Ever since I found ÂŁ7.99 on my bank account for Prime which I hadnât asked for (and got back immediately], I may find items on Amazon but then buy directly from the manufacturer or go elsewhere. Amazon is store of last resort.
Well, I shall now be buying direct where possible but with Prime membership I can order tonight and often receive tomorrow. Manufacturers usually canât approach that level of speed, nor indeed the price. It is however the video service from Prime that would be the most difficult to replace, due to exclusivity deals.
One thing I want to see is a breakup of monopolistic services like that, and indeed the Apple/Android duopoly. When there are multiple providers the free speech argument becomes largely moot.
Ebay seems managed by people of integrity. Rarely does one hear of the same applying to Ebay that others suffer from, like Amazon.
I’ve been very happy with Ebay for many years.

And Al Beeb was the main proponent of all that fake information. If I recollect correctly, quite a number of MPs and politicians pointed this out, including Bo Jo. Whatâs more, the people of Great Britain know this , witness the amount of people not paying the telly tax. Yet the goons are allowed to go around by law, collecting their âProtection Moneyâ. Any other gang or outfit would have been closed down by the law by now. One body that could be complicit with this scam is OfCom?
A new study published by Frontiers in Public Health concluded that neither lockdowns nor lockdown stringency were correlated with lower death rates. Researchers analyzed data from 160 countries over the first 8 months of the pandemic, to determine how they are correlated with COVID-19 mortality.
The loony lockdowns have resulted in mass collateral damage, a global recession, millions of businesses ravaged, tens of millions of jobs lost, widespread economic destruction, surging poverty, and mental health deterioration and a surge in suicides.
Months ago researchers had compiled enough empirical evidence to determine how effective lockdowns were in taming COVID-19.
The reality is that lockdowns come with incredible collateral damage but appear to do little if anything to actually slow down the coronavirus. This is precisely why the World Health Organization reversed course in October and began advising nations to refrain from using them. âLockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,â Dr. David Nabarro, the WHO’s Special Envoy on COVID-19, observed.
Despite mounting evidence that lockdowns donât work and are incredibly harmful, most members of Parliament continue to push them. In doing so, theyâre falling victim to a dangerous deception. âOne of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results,â the famed economist Milton Friedman once warned.
Other than a few highly intelligent members of Parliament. SAGE and the British Parliament overwhelmingly voted for the present Lockdown. Itâs time for the elite to admit a basic reality about lockdowns. They arenât just horribly destructive and an affront to liberty. Theyâre actually failing to save lives.

Trump under fire
President Donald Trump is due to leave office on 20 January, but for some that’s not soon enough. His political opponents, along with a growing number of his own party, accuse him of encouraging last week’s riot in Congress in which five people died. They want him out of the White House now.
Democrats are demanding Vice-President Mike Pence use the 25th amendment of the constitution to transfer power. If he refuses, they say they’ll proceed with impeachment proceedings against Mr Trump – for a second time. What are those processes and how likely is either to succeed? We look closely. The White House has dismissed the impeachment as “politically motivated” and divisive.
Elsewhere, the ruling body of American golf is taking next year’s PGA Championship away from Mr Trump’s golf course in New Jersey, arguing the association with the outgoing president would be detrimental to its brand.

Questions unlikely to be asked by the BBC. Even Mishap when popping over to interview him, as both are âvery busyâ.
And so the net closes in.
I did warn about that on here recently, and indeed a while back when Parler first came to prominence. So I shall be using Gab wherever possible, acknowledging there are some unpleasant characters on there. I would rather, however, that their unpleasantness is there for all to see and argue against than pretend they donât exist just because Iâm not listening.
Amen.
There are more unpleasant characters on the MSM.
Global News just âaccused ofâ Donald Trump of inciting âthe violenceâ.
That is a lie. And unpleasant one. I donât want they deplatformed, but held to account.
Sure as hell OFCOM wonât do it.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Global News are outstandingly scummy in a scummy race to the bottom.

That to me is a bit strange.

That won’t be necessary.
Inciting violence through words can be a high bar for a court – and Trump’s words are often vague.
I doubt you’d get a conviction for a politician simply calling for supporters to ‘fight’ for their cause etc – but then few will ever be as blatant as to say ‘Go attack my enemies”.
Following the Rwandan genocide for instance, there were incitement convictions for media outlets which used phrases like: “go to work” and “the graves are not yet full”, or ‘let whatever is smouldering erupt”.
Some of those responsible got life sentences.
But to pin his role in the attempted coup down to just the specific words he used in that one speech, is to ignore his words and actions in the weeks since the election and in fact, the last 4 years.
The esteemed Fiona Hill, a Yorkshire lass makes a convincing case:

Check this out:

strange days
One problem (as I see it) is Trump is one who talks often from the heart, unlike career politicians, and so often exercises a poor choice of words (or rather ill-considered maybe) for someone with such influence.
Tommy Robinson did himself no favours also.
As I have outlined above yesterday, those of us from the private sector, used the getting things done, can become extremely frustrated with public “servants” and their intransigence at times.
Especially someone like Trump who is used to negotiating from a position of much more strength.
But he should, in my opinion, have been much more aware of those watching and waiting and noting all down to use against him, even in internal meetings that become “leaked” he played into their hands too many times.
It will be the same for those who continue on Twitter and other platforms, whilst the left and islamists continue to spew threats, bile and hate with apparent impunity, many of us will have to choose words carefully in future, a slight ambiguity is a useful tool.
Agreed about ambiguity. I use it frequently to make a point whilst not saying it directly.
Trumpâs use of words was undoubtedly unwise at times, but he wouldnât have been who he was if he used politiciansâ safe language.
While what you say is true, I think the MSM would have twisted whatever Trump said with their scandalous selective out-of-context quotations and subversive editing (BBC especially).
The Left were enraged with hate after the Right rose up with Brexit and Trump. Now they are like spiteful brats with their fists clenched trying to stamp on ants.
‘Finally some good news’ proffers the Daily Star this morning: ‘Jabs for all’ is the notion celebrated.
‘The cavalry is here! EVERY adult to be given vaccine by the autumn’ – the word in the headline is given, not offered we note.
Jerry Lawton, the Star’s chief crime correspondent no less, takes the byline credit and calms down a little: ‘All adults will be offered a life-saving Covid jab…’ – perhaps it is asking too much for the tabloid Star to notice that fine distinction in their flush of excitment over an innoculation that will apparently make us all but immortal when the entire UK adult population were otherwise at death’s door.
Way back in the days when I was knee high to a Morris Minor, I recall my mother presented with the joy of the dawn of a new week would sing along to some appropriate popular ditty to help paas the time whilst she got on with the housework.

Labour saving devices and feminism have greatly reduced the drudgery of the female domestic existence releasing many women into the workforce – and now lockdowns have left many at a loose end.
Monday therefore appears to be pin ups for the ladies day.

‘What next for your finances? Taxing times ahead for your cash in lockdown’ – seems the Daily Express is on the money.
The Daily Mirror makes some odd editorial choices: ‘Sex drugs rock n roll scandals in the 60s’ ‘Free pullout’ – is this feature fulfilling the function of a newspaper or is it a reminiscence puzzle to prompt the brains of the vaguely senile?
The Mirror further attempts to excite the jaded, or should that be the addled, with their: ‘Maddie exclusive. Cops push to get last piece of jigsaw’ – I’m none too sure the cops have even the first piece of the Madeleine McCann disappearence jigsaw.
‘Care homes we’ve been betrayed over jabs’ – seems the Daily Mail have an ‘Investigations Unit’ – surely that should be every journalist, apart from the agony aunt and the old dear on the horoscopes?

Kudos to the Metro for noticing that despite: ‘Covidiots goad cops’ on their frontpage splash, tucked away on page seven we have an everyday life goes on story: ‘103 migrants brave big freeze to cross channel’ (despite Brexit?) One dreads to think how many next summer may bring? “Hey, Abdul, there’s free vaccines over there”
‘…have greatly reduced the drudgery of the female domestic existence’
That’s one way to write ‘Not having to go out to work’.
Not really BBC
Its uncanny.
On the previous thread we discussed the proposition that the NHS wants to keep all of the vaccination programme to itself, in the particular case by creating an entirely new distribution function from scratch and for which they can claim credit, rather than use what is there already (e.g. my personalised calendar, ordered on Friday, arrived at 8am this morning from Belgium, I having never ordered with them before)
Today there is much coverage of the so-called training needed to be a vaccinator.
First up we had the 21 forms needed, such as level 1 training in âpreventing radicalisationâ, âconflict resolutionâ and of course âequality, diversity, and human rightsâ. JustRemainin Webb had the usually good Nadim Zahawi on Toady and he asked about this but let him off the hook when Zahawi played the âstraw manâ technique and thus avoided justifying the âsafeguarding childrenâ course for vaccinating the priority 80 year olds. Pathetic. Opportunity missed.
Next we have a simple fact. There are 11,000 pharmacies in this country. They are allowed to administer the flu jab, and do. Why not covid? If each pharmacy did just 3 jabs per hour that would be 1 million a week. Problem solved. And no 45 minute drives needed for octagenarians as with the glossy high profile mass vaccination centres
The nationalised monster that is the âworld class â NHS wants to control everything. The irony of course is that they complain about the wards being full of covid patients yet it is their their intransigence, bureaucracy, political correctness, and lack of imagination that is directly responsible for slowing down the very solution to their, and our, problems.
I note no forms about tackling obesity, lest those filling them out use words like “pot” kettle” and “black”
My concern about local pharmacies delivering jabs is whether some might sell them to the highest bidders, whether here or abroad.
Are you being racist by inferring what I believe you to be inferring, or am I being racist for inferring that you are inferring what I believe you are inferring? Gets complicated doesn’t it?
Popeye, I couldnât possibly comment. But I can guess what you are thinking.
Sluff, does that ‘training needed to be a vaccinator’ include doing what the trained nurse was doing in injecting the first person to receive a Covid vaccine in the UK? No medical gloves, no swab, in the wrong arm for a right-handed person.*
I learned how to do it by just watching a very efficient, trained, GP Practice Nurse do influenza injections. Simples.
* I have now seen more than one variant of that ‘first UK injection’ photo which rather suggests it was a Public Relations stunt set up by a photographer who doesn’t know what he/she is doing and who has not asked what the innoculation protocols are.
At the moment vaccine availability is the limiting step, rather than people to organise.

Beebiod asks if the red tape surrounding vaccine administration volunteers is sorted. Y’know NHS Child Protection protocols, vital when jabbing 80year olds, knowledge & training in the Terrorism Act…..
Bluster, waffle and evasiveness, with some acknowledgement the rules have been ‘relaxed’ in some cases.
I’ve said it before, if we are in a ‘war’ against this virus as Whitless keeps on mentioning, then the minimum is 24/7 deployment of the jabs and administration supporting it.
But, nope not from these ejeets.
They’d rather pass more rules banning YOU from doing anything it seems.

The failure to be clear about vaccine details should be resolved by the end of today ….. because the health Secretary is going to publish âvaccination for idiots â
Which lays out priority groups , timetables and resources at the 5pm pantomime . Iâm sure van tam will be asked about his curry ….
Anyway – in addition – it sees that allegro Stratton – named after that wonderful British Leyland car – will not be doing White House system press briefings because they donât want her to make cabinet ministers look like idiots . They can do that for themselves .
Iâm off to get the non essential popcorn ….
As for allegro Stratton – I wonder if she got that name because she was conceived in that car ?
That is similar to what my mother asked me when I once took home a hippy girl called Astra
That f’cked up her chakras for the day
That was very Cavalier?
TOADY Watch #1 – a very deferential interview by JustRemainIn Webb
Chris Witty was the interview person in the 8.10a.m. pole position slot and there were some notable things that arose from it, not least JustRemainIn Webb’s very gentle questions. Rumpole caught him leading the witness a couple of times and was on his feet to object to M’lud. M’lud was obviously a bit hard of hearing just like State Bench Judges in the USA.
It was highly notable that there was no vox pop before the interview. That discontinued a recent BBC Radio 4 trend for when the sacrificial beast at 8.10 has been a Conservative Cabinet Minister or a Brexiteer or a City/Regional Mayor. I wonder why?
It was also notable that Chris Witty appears out of his depth, yet at the moment with Vallance & the rest of SAGE, he is leading the country. He doesn’t know about the virus, especially the so-called ‘new’ variant. He ‘thinks’ which is a rich man’s form of guess. Justin, in full-on grovel mode did not bother to hold power to account as he usually does. I would have asked “How many virologists who have actually looked in microscopic detail at the new variant and all the other Covid viruses do you have on the SAGE Committee at present?”
Whitty, and Webb with him, seemed at one point to only be concerned about ‘rule breaking’! It is our fault, the public’s fault, that the new Covid variant is rampant. Oh yeah? Aren’t you both members of that same public?
Another notable point is that Chris Witty, like the PM, is pinning his faith in the vaccines despite the fact that they may not provide any protection against the new variant that has Witty so worried. No questions from Justin on that point, either, so on to the pointless sports report.

I saw that witless was due to tour the studios doing his grim reaper act . Perhaps the government it trying to work out how to tell us the new variation of virus needs a new vaccine – but is worried how we will react when this is confirmed …
I used to believe that the failure to produce a vaccine, for the Coronaviruses that contribute to the common cold, was down to the Pharmaceutical companies doing very nicely thankyou on over-the-counter remedies. I’m now minded to think that it’s because they do not work and a Lemsip (other brands are available) is sufficient for the vast majority of the population. Ditto for Influenza.
I think it was Asterix where they explained how the Romans invaded, they noted the “British” tribes all put down their spears, parked their chariots and stopped for a tea break at 3pm – 3.30 so decided that was when they would attack.
Whilst the “British” all sat there with their tea and biscuits commenting “oh I say, poor show”
time Asterix was cancelled for race hate maybe
and where are the demands for apologies and compensation from the Italians by the Iceni and Catevaullini descendants ?
Sod your aqueducts where’s me compo ?
Talking of aqueducts – racehorse trainer Eric Guillot is in racist hot water with New York Racing Association for renaming a horse he was running at Aqueduct Racetrack “Grape Soda”. Given the perceived racism of choc ices how long is there left for Ice Cream Soda.
Tea? They drank hot water with just a little bit of milk in it as they said ‘je dis, je dis’ to each other (seriously, the jokes are better in the original French). It was the strange leaves from China that Panoramix the Druid thought might be useful that gave the Brits courage when they put them in their hot water.
Ils sont fous, ces BBoids! đ
‘Fous’ as in “fous-moi la paix!” perhaps?
Racist !!!! What about WHITE owned businesses ????
Oh yeah, racism only ever works one way !!!!
Don’t worry, Doobs, it’s only Kamilla Norris getting ready for the 2024 vote!

I’ve got the ‘mysterious’ Biden to ‘arris transition down for this September in our local sweepstakes.
They won’t let that moron talk for long.
I forgot to provide this info yesterday when I mentioned that the Insurrection Act has been signed by Trump over the weekend. Apologies if anyone else has mentioned this.
The reason that Pelosi and Schumer are so desperate to get rid of Trump immediately even though he’s supposedly leaving in a few days is because during the infilitration of Antifa insurgents posing as Trump supporters on Wednesday, a number of spec-ops guys who had been undercover as Antifa and Black Lives Matter for several months used the opportunity to confiscate several laptops that had been left behind when these cowards evacuated the premises. These included Pelosi and Schumer’s laptops. Additionally, DNI John Ratcliffe’s report on foreign interference was delivered to congress AFTER they had fraudulently certified for Biden.
In other words, Trump and the military let this whole thing play out to see who would actually defend the constitution. Trump is now completely bunkered down (which is common knowledge) and letting the military do what they need to in order to bring these traitors to justice. This is also why big tech has panicked and started censoring like never before, which has only exposed their lies about not censoring conservatives and has made several of them indictable for perjury since they testified under oath that they didn’t interfere with free speech.
Incidentally, January 19th is National Popcorn Day. People on the inside keep referring to this whole thing as a movie, so I doubt this is a coincidence.
Buckle up, completely ignore the MSM and enjoy the ride.
Iâd love to think you are right but where is the evidence he has signed the Insurrection Act? Many online have stated he has but how would they know?
What is undeniable is that the fevered desire to kick him out before his term expires in a few days seems bizarre, unless they are desperate to stop him doing something. It smells of panic, but the MSM seem disinclined to ask.
I’m sure that President Trump would have announced it on Twitter, to give his opponents advance warning. Sadly, Twitter decided to silence him so it would not have been possible.
Parler social network drops offline after Amazon pulls support
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55615214
Rory Cellan-Jones has an analysis at the bottom of the above article saying, “Parler has long been a home for what you might call untouchables, people who had been excluded from mainstream services for offences such as blatant racism or incitement to violence.
During a brief excursion onto the site over the weekend, I observed plenty of examples of such behaviour, with users exhibiting vile anti-Semitism, displaying Nazi symbols such as the swastika and uttering incoherent threats against those they perceive to be enemies of America.”
I’ve not seen anything like that on Parler for the 6 months I have been on it. This confirmation-bias piece from Rory shows us how he made his mind up first, then went on Parler and specifically searched for ‘right wing’ stuff and then labelled everyone on Parler as the Devil incarnate.
“then went on Parler” seems much of such news comes from journos cutNpasting material that special interest groups have sent them ..rather than the journo doing their own research.
You don’t jut fire up Parler and see “vile anti-Semitism” “Nazi symbols”, “threats”
Threats are certainly banned on Parler ..there is a report button.
I suspect it would have played out something like this.
Intern at BBC News or other sympathetic activist sets up account. Posts something vile. Rings up Rory to say thereâs a vile post. Rory then goes on to check and, lo and behold, finds it there before anyone has a chance to report.
Any one of us could do the same on Twitter.
Ah, so there is (was) a limit to freedom of speech then?
@WWOTW yes of course Parler always obeys the law about illegal speech
like incitement to violence
like posting child porn etc.
Why would you think it didn’t ?
Tabs, if only a 1/4 of this is true it will be fun to watch but I will not hold my breath.
BTW, it is very annoying/worrying when my Parler account has suddenly stopped working this morning as mentioned above.
KGB chief Lavrentiy Beria would have approved, as he once said:
‘If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation, we will have won that country. Therefore we must continue propaganda abroad to undermine the loyalty of citizens in general and of teen-agers in particular’
Where can I rant now?
Apologies, I meant the post from Laughing at Lefties..
I caught some of R4’s TWATO today and it was, as expected, biased on this topic, with the warnings and condemnation being about Parler and “Fark Snooze” (think about that one for a few seconds!) rather than, shall we say, more familiar broadcasters nearer to home. I don’t know why I wasted my time, old habits die hard I suppose.
The difference to in how either sides of the US #political spectrum has reacted publicly to âinciteâ #protest over the last year
It makes my blood boil at a temperature hither to, unknown to man !!!!!!!!
DISGUSTING. Simply DISGUSTING.
It’s not the fact they say things like this that gets me rattled, it’s the blatant HYPOCRISY of it all and the fact the BBC , MSM etc NEVER take them to task over it.
Untouchable. Quite literally, untouchable !!!
The pure nastiness of the âdemocratsâ (and now some bandwagon jumpers from the Republicans) is something to behold.
How horrible is that pelosi woman, Hillary or various mayors.
Do they think the (armed to the teeth) 70 odd million voters and other Republican supporters will just shrug their shoulders and say âoh well, fair doâs, letâs jolly well just get on with lifeâ and simply fade away.
If so I think they have a surprise coming.
Iâm angry about the lies and dirty tricks the âDemocraticâ lot have been getting away with, unchallenged by 99% of the press and msm so I canât imagine how proper Republican supporting Americans must be feeling.
Why they havenât reacted more than the few minor incidents and handbags weâve been seeing.
That was no riot. True, they shouldnât have been in there but the crowd was probably the most well behaved âriotingâ crowd ever seen (apart from the antifa/blm troublemakers infiltrating the crowd trying to cause trouble.
They even kept inside the roped tourist pathways in many of the pictures we saw on the tv.
Any violence appeared to be aimed towards the demonstrators and the deaths were a bit suspicious (apart from the police(?) shooting of the girl for no apparent reason)
I wonder if (when) the Republican supporters will react to this stolen election. I canât see them just accepting it and going home.
Good luck to them. (I suppose saying that is incitement to riot as per pelosi)
Victor Davis Hanson’s book “The Case For Trump ” tells you all you need to know about why DJT had no hope of getting a second term. I was thinking that maybe he will run as an independent as Ross Perot did a few years ago. Of course the impeachment process is all designed to cut him off at the pass so that wouldn’t be a given but remember Perot did get nearly 19% of the popular vote. I just get the feeling he’s not going away before he makes life more awkward for the swamp
Synch
I disagree – I think they are just going to kill him .
The trouble is, if they do whack Trump then it’s open season for individuals with firearms and suitable training.
‘Do they think the (armed to the teeth) 70 odd million voters and other Republican supporters will just shrug their shoulders and say âoh well, fair doâs, letâs jolly well just get on with lifeâ and simply fade away.’
That’s what usually happens after you’ve lost an election. Even if its really, really hard for some of them to accept. Apparently they love their country though and are fans of democracy too (ahem).
‘That was no riot. True, they shouldnât have been in there but the crowd was probably the most well behaved âriotingâ crowd ever seen (apart from the antifa/blm troublemakers infiltrating the crowd trying to cause trouble.

This is genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve read in a very long time. Thanks for that.
I especially love the bit about them staying ‘inside the roped tourist pathway’.
I may have murdered those people your honour, but I always give my mum a Christmas present!
Not sure what was suspicious about the deaths, seem to have been natural causes, apart from the policeman murdered by Trump and his supporters, and the crazy
Trump lady who learned a tough lesson.
If you think the only violence was that aimed at protesters and was caused by antifa, then you genuinely are utterly deluded or have been in a coma for the last week.
Oh, and the peaceful protesters beat a Trump supporting policeman and veteran to death with a fire extinguisher.
Good luck to them??
But Blackwell – those who donât like President Trump never accepted his election and spent his entire presidency fighting him – and the physical counting process wasnât challenged of criticised ( I think )
Yet when there is a widespread belief – evidence based or not – that the election was fraudulent – how do you think people will react . ?
Getting bogged down in events in Washington does not take away the belief that their election was stolen . And for a country as âtooled upâ as America it is surprising there has not been more bloodshed – or will be more .
By the way – having a pretty extreme filter against the MSM I havenât seen what happened in Washington – but I do recall the huge rallies Mr Trump had – as well as the non campaign the democrats had … as well as those weird results which came in on election night ….
A non politician non conformist like trump – which the swamp could never accept – is now replaced by an ancient career politician with failing health … business as usual .
But I must ask – with Trump gone – who is the Left going to target – hate ? Is it the internet ? The opinions of people like me ? Am I to be extinguished along with sites like this ?
What do you think ?
Trump National stripped of 2022 US PGA Championship
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/55615022
Extract – The PGA of America voted to terminate the agreement on Sunday.
US President Donald Trump, who owns the course, has been accused by Democrats and some Republicans of encouraging last Wednesday’s riot in Congress.
……………………..
He DID NOT encourage the riots but don’t let that FACT get in the way !!!!!!
Jesus wept, where the hell is this world heading.
See above , Stews video for democrats inciting violence. That’s ok tho !!!!!!!
Gab already went through this thing where it’s server providers were blackmailed off hosting them a year ago.
So they rebuilt, now they push even further, they’ve just launched their own Linux based phone to compete with Google Android, and Apple iPhone.
I would be very interested in that when my iPhone 7 gives up the ghost. No doubt there would be a price to pay with banking apps not working but if it means throwing of the yoke of Big Tech Iâm very much up for it.
Iâm sure Iâm not alone in having become acutely aware in the past week how beholden I am to these unaccountable monsters.
Hereâs one to get you laughing.
From the BBCâs patting itself on the back piece about its new education programmes.
I quote âExperts who are helping include footballer Marcus Rashford….â
What will he be teaching?

Anybody any idea what The Real John Woods is saying about whats happening over there ?
James Woods had Twitter as the the only platform
Then his account was suspended, then back
Then someone deleted all his recent tweets
Now the account is in private mode
One of the deleted tweets.
Sargon’s podcast starts at 1pm Youtube
“Carl and Callum discuss
– the digital execution of Parler
– the radicalisation of the left against the MAGA movement
– Nancy Pelosi’s attempted coup”
Sargon mentioned that today he has a special paywalled prog about Lin Wood the conspiracy guy mentioned above.
He says that libmob are “inversing reality”
as Kamalla Harris says ‘if these were BLM they would be tear gassed’
..em the MAGA people were tear gassed and one was shot dead,
The BBC running a Bitesize GCE synopsis of Animal Farm by George Orwell….
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/z9w7mp3/revision/1
“The animals get fed up of their master, Farmer Jones, so they kick him out. Once they are free of the tyrant Jones, life on the farm is good for a while and there is hope for a happier future of less work, better education and more food. However, trouble brews as the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, fight for the hearts and minds of the other animals on the farm. Napoleon seizes power by force and ends up exploiting the animals just as Farmer Jones had done. The novel ends with the pigs behaving and even dressing like the humans the animals tried to get rid of in the first place.”
Maybe they don’t realise how prophetic this is in relation to whats going on in the USA Capitol Building right now?
Personally I see Snowball as Biden and Napoleon as Pelosi, No prizes for guessing who Farmer Jones is!
It will be interesting to see what comes to pass, Orwell had a knack of predicting the future accurately…. as in 1984 and the BBC for instance!
– the BBC is leading the charge to educate kids online ….?

17 links to programmes, each with a photo, aimed at kids to learn.
The first 9 photos have children in them which are:
1. white girl
2. Asian girl and Asian boy
3. Asian boy
4. white girl
5. Asian girl
6. 2 Asian girls
7. 2 white kids and 1 black kid
8. black girl
9. black boy
The others are photos of white adults but in BBC land all kids are non white.
The last link is ‘Celebrity Supply Teacher’ featuring Geri Halliwell giving advice on creative writing. She says to get inspiration you “just need to look around” as she passes into her huge walled garden, then into her stable block to see her horses, then into a large field to feed her goats, then off to see the donkeys, a quick walk through her wild garden, then into the stone out house, then the orchard and finally take a seat by the walled garden.
Come on kids, follow the BBC advice and take a walk around your 12 acre property to get inspired.
What planet (or Ivory tower) are BBC staff on?
Iâve been to Sainsburyâs . It wasnât busy – but social distancing in NE London is not fashionable . There are lots of people out and about – more than the first lockdown . I think there is also quiet panic buying . …..
….. on the way back I caught a bit of Lady Brooke having a consensual chat with a friend – one James Harding . Familiar name – has beeb director of news .
Any way – they played a game of out agreeing with each other .
The subject ?
The internet – throwing people off the social media sites with whom they donât agree . Not even if it is non criminal . Mr Harding must be after a job on the West Coast where dead politicians go to make money , be unaccountable and get their revenge ….
… my conclusion ? Sites like this – itsâ days are numbered . The bubble wants to remove criticism – declare – you – dear reader – nasty and âa pedaller of misinformation â ( see Blackwell above ) …..
On the upside – I was âgrown up â before the internet and wonât âdie â without it – kidults and younger types might struggle … particularly getting banned from Amazon or punished in some other way ….
… before the off switch came – theyâd played a tape of Arnold swarztanigger comparing what happened in Washington to the nazi kristalnight …
Enough said .
