The Licence enforcement arm of the Far Left BBC is continuing to target the over 75s to buy a licence . 750000 have so far failed to buy one since the ‘free ‘ licence concession was removed . So before the BBC accuses others of sharp practices perhaps it should look to itself .

This morning Radio 4 news at nine , BBC saying that the Road Haulage Association (RHA) have written to the government about the drop in trucks crossing the channel – because of Brexit .
I’ll repeat again , the BBC need to ask the RHA how many of its members have a flourishing trade in international haulage , the answer being a round figure of 0 .

Erm, because they are gathering evidence. It’s not unusual early into an investigation for police to withhold descriptions of possible assailants (even if they have some) so as not to prejudice further potential witnesses coming forward.
But never mind any of that nonsense…

Someone had set their emails with a ‘I am basking on a beach in Antigua for a while so call my minions’ alert.

Until it was pointed out they were simply adding to the pomposity spiral and the option of ignoring, deleting or unsubscribing was available.

Quite right Seppers, the point I failed to include yet is that the Gates Foundation pours millions into a BBC “Charity?” called BBC Media Action.
Revealed: BBC ‘Charity’ receives MILLIONS in funding from Gates Foundation
https://unitynewsnetwork.co.uk/revealed-bbc-charity-receives-millions-in-funding-from-gates-foundation/
Of the Charity the BBC say “In a world where media can be divisive and untrustworthy, we believe in the power of media and communication to do good.”
So can a global campaigning information network ever be called a charity?
And a footnote…
“Last week multi-billionaire ‘philanthropist’ Bill Gates appeared on the BBC and was also given extensive positive coverage across the vast billion pound taxpayer funded network.
During his interview Gates referred to himself as a ‘health expert’ and this went unchallenged.”

\\ millions into a BBC “Charity?” called BBC Media Action.//
.. Any context there ?
One year Gates contributed 10% of the charities money
but over 20 it’s more like 2.5%
That’s hardy a controlling stake
And Gates programmes seem entirely valid mostly health education.
The charity does seem a bit of a front
eg their Iranian woman seemed to be training seemed to be training journalists how to use social media against the ayatollahs … that seems a good thing
The BBC’s annual budget is 100 times more than the charities
so Bill is hardly controlling the BBC.

BBC Media Action is (was?) the vehicle used by the EU to part-fund the BBC. As I understand it, the EU demands that any organisation taking its cash cannot speak ill of it and the recipient of their thirty pieces of silver signs a contract agreeing to this. (The amount does not therefore need to be a “controlling stake”.)
I remember Jacob Rees-Mogg trying to get to the bottom of EU’s payments to the BBC but being given a right old run-around.
The real question is why the BBC’s charter can be ignored when monies are being paid into a “commercial arm” of the BBC. How exactly are the BBC’s commercial arms (which are wholly owned by the BBC) exempted from the charter?

Precisely! They justify their plans for the world as being for the ultimate benefit of us all. No war, no racism, no greed. Unfortunately human nature is not like that. There will always be people who want more, be it money, privilege or power. How many times has communism been tried? “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”. Brilliant in theory, impossible in practice. And, of course, it doesn’t apply to them. Well, someone has to organise it!
For those who say it is just conspiracy theory, is it not strange all these coincidences? For example WEF says we must eat less meat; a prominent member of WEF, Bill Gates, now owns 97,934 hectares of farmland in the USA (he is America’s largest land owner now), much of it used for rearing cattle but for how much longer? Just one quote – “He also has been vocal on the need for a solution to reduce the amount of methane cattle give off when they belch and pass gas”.
How long will cash be around? Think how convenient it will be for a Government to control the economy when it is all electronic.
Next generation Smart meters and 5G will give enormous powers to people to control usage and pricing, especially when you will only have EVs. It is impossible, at the present rate of progress, to charge the present number of cars if they were all to be electric, but remember what WEF say, “You will own nothing and be happy”.
Of course, you will also be on Universal Basic Income (UBI), already being mooted as a solution to the present Covid crisis. Eventually the vast majority of us will be reliant on State aid one way or another. Another WEF objective met.
Of course, it’s all conspiracy theory, just coincidences. All those world leaders meeting at Davos every year are only there for the Ski-ing

I’m trying to work out this Northern Ireland/ Ireland /EU problem and can’t see what it is !
It can only be imports into the Republic, not mainland Europe/ EU .
I’ve tried looking into the shipping routes I hope a freight forwarder can help .
Let’s take as an example a Chinese firm exporting to Europe.
There are direct links from China to Ireland , and direct links from China to the rest of the EU .
The EU and Remainers pride themselves on the trade deal between the EU and China .
So why would a Chinese exporter who wants to send something to mainland EU use Northern Ireland ?
I can’t find direct shipping from China to Northern Ireland ( can anyone help ?) . It looks like you’d have to ship from Shanghai to Rotterdam orHamburg then use EUcon containers to Belfast but then what ? Put them on a lorry to Dublin to cross to Britain to transit to Dover then across ?!?!
Whatever customs duties you’ve saved would be more than swallowed in handling costs and transportation.
The whole NI / Ireland dispute seems just that and nothing to do with goods to the rest of the EU , and even that altercation is easily resolved without the EU sticking its paddle in .

What is truly scary is that not only is the US no longer a democracy but it is a country in which the law breakers feel able to boast in public about how they broke one of the fundamental principles of the republic in the certain knowledge that they will suffer no consequences.
So we are now in a post democratic era where votes count for nothing and elections are a sham to keep, for a little while at least , the pretence that there is government of the people by the people. If a citizen’s vote counts for nought then the way of ‘ protesting’ via the ballot box has been removed and how exactly do the elite think that the energy of protest will find expression? Presumably they feel that with their total control of the MSM and the law they are impregnable and can successfully resist any protest or pressure from ordinary folks.im sure that the Bolshevik party felt the same. Hopefully it won’t take seventy years before the people can shake off the shackles of the elite.

Tesco calls for online sales tax
Tesco has renewed its call for a 1% online sales tax for large online retailers such as Amazon. The company said it “believes strongly that there should be a level playing field for all retailers, online or physical”. Tesco is also one of 18 retailers asking Chancellor Rishi Sunak for a permanent cut in business rates – the tax that’s levied on business property. The supermarket wants rates to fall by at least 20%.

Such rates are used to fund services.
Hence Tesco ‘wants’ money diverted from the public to it to prop up a failing model. Or more taxes on the public to keep it in gravy.

Recall being taught about engineering responsibilities back in the day, and the lecturer cited a case where a dam was constructed on a steep valley to create a reservoir.
Sadly, the water undermined an undiscovered seam back upstream to cause a landslide that sent a tsunami that overtopped the dam.
People died.
The engineers who built the dam were lauded. It held. The soil engineers were jailed.
If negligent, justified. If unlucky, political.
I would have thought a reservoir with a dam at one end and a glacier at the other might anticipate certain natural events.

BBC News – Joe has saved the day!
The number of infections in the US is now falling and the vaccination programme appears to have overcome some of its initial problems.

Oh, hang on… a question tucked away..?
Covid Pandemic – has US turned the corner?
22 likes
It’s a result of the new WHO guidelines on case definition (brought out within an hour of the inauguration).
2 positive tests are now required or 1 with the symptoms to be regarded as a case. Also US labs are turning the PCR test cycles down from 42 to 35 and this reduces the amount of positives.
You didn’t think this was science did you?

Grumbler, doesn’t that increase the number of positives, turning down the PCR test cycles? To reduce the number of cases, would you not need to raise the level?
The other problem with a reduced test cycle is that it may increase the numer of false positives and false negatives and increase the numbers of failures to spot the difference between coronavirus cold, coronavirus influenza and coronavirous Covid.

Up2Snuff I think you have it the wrong way round
You start PCR and do a few cycles to amplify the signal particles you are looking for
You should then find all the strong positives
You amplify further and you’ll mop up the weak positives
Now if you over amplify you pick up the really really weak positives
They are either false positives or Covid so weak it is probably not a spreader
Turn it back down and you’ll get all the positives that matter.
You still get some false negatives cos some people will have been tested too early to have a viral count.

I have been writing of this a few days back, even before this was admitted .
But on further thought, I think what “Shadow fortifying ” is upto is a coverup for the reality of Election fraud.
The Dems and their media allies, are now concerned that the whole fraud may come to light. Hence this bogus “Shadow fortifying ” affecting the election.
“Shadow fortifying” or whatever sort does not change people’s minds, which is generally made up long before voting day. Election fraud took place, and this an attermpt to cover it up.

TOADY Watch #1 – he is flavour of the month with the BBC
Who is? Dave Grohl, that’s who. Founder and front man of the Foo Fighters, ex-percussionist for Nirvana and self-confessed ill-educated non-academic Democrat voter. What?!! Isn’t it only Republicans who are poorly educated, ignorant, racist, xenophobes I hear you ask? That is what the BBC have implied for five years.
Apparently not.
The BBC’s favourite because … (hushed tones) …. he and his band played at Glastonbury …… and … (even more hushed, reverent tones) …. his band was asked to play for Joe Biden’s Presidential Inauguration last month. Aaah, that explains it.
Meanwhile Dave explains his Dad was Republican and a musician and ‘was pretty mixed up’ but his fourteen year old daughter is way beyond his educational level, he struggles to home school his eleven year old but can cope with the educational level of the age of six and teach that on some stuff.

Fed, listening early doors to both BBC Radio 4 and 5 Live this morning pushing the AstraZennica South Africa variant ‘story’ for all its worth.
Their agenda is blatant and obvious. Their message, to be shrilled louder and louder as the day progresses is clear; this variant is not affected by the vaccine, therefore we must remain in lockdown, any talk of easing it must be supressed, the restrictions must continue, the older of us in society will not be safe, the vaccine, produced in the UK (Not EU) is bad & not effective. Nothing must change, don’t think of a better spring and summer ahead, because nothings changing and you all need to be very afraid.
Now, for balance the trial the South Africans conducted has not yet been peer reviewed, it was conducted across a very small sample (200 persons), and mainly on much younger subjects – Imagine if you have a wonder drug for Alzheimer’s disease and only tested it on Children, I’m not sure you would see success…..
Not that BBC cover this part of the story as it does not fit the narrative.
The BBC, dealers in fear, manipulation and lying disguised a ‘journalism’.
I hope they are called out this latest piece of propaganda and political shit shirring, but am afraid the useless cowardly Tories will let them get away with it again, again, again.

Spotting the chinks in the cracks and old queens news
The free-at-the-point-of-access, but heavily subsidised by government advertising, giveaway Metro newspaper unsurprisingly gifts the government vaccination programme a booster this morning: ‘1,000 jabs a minute. Vaccinations top 12 million‘ – with an inset photo (because presumably we have difficulty visualising these things) captioned: ‘Lots of shots: Woman receives a jab in Birmingham‘ – penetrating news there, relegating the news of mutiple men receiving a stab in London over the weekend.
The giveaway throwaway Metro devotes the other half of its frontpage to that old tabloid staple – the weather: ‘Simply beastly. Storm Darcy Bustles in from the east and causes chaos‘ – this is a rather subtle play on the Met Office name for the storm and a pun on the name Darcy Bussell the former ballerina.
What next, we wonder, are we reading a tabloid here, or watching the evolution of some new South Bank Show-inspired punning slang? Might the Metro caption parenting advice: “what to do if your child goes Bolshoi Ballet and throws its Simon Rattle out of the Niall Buggy. Should you be Laurence Sterne or remain Plácido Domingo?”
The ‘i‘ newspaper admonishes: ‘How sloppy England played into Scotland’s hands‘ – far be from our national media headlines to touch on current Scots political machinations – this is a story about rugby.
The Telegraph catches up with a long-running issue and presents a vaguely conservative-sounding heading for once: ‘Far-left “hijacking” of race and climate movements to be investigated‘
Here too in the Telegraph Tim Stanley has something positive to say about Britain: ‘We must move faster to trade with the rest of the world and avoid EU racket‘
For a moment there I’m almost buying into the BBC mantra that our print media is conservative, but I’ll read on…
On the vaccines issue the Telegraph meanwhile seems to appeal to a higher authority, even than the Tory PM: ‘Keep faith in Oxford jab, urges minister‘
The materialist miserablist Guardian meanwhile is apparently having none of it: ‘Rethink on jabs urged after varient cuts efficiency‘
And the Times decides, when in doubt to double dip, on vaccines: ‘Autumn jab to ward off new strains of covid-19‘ – now hang on, is this autumn jab additional to the second dose of the first, and will the autumn one need a second booster, and what about next winter’s new infections? I’m losing count of the jabs, like a Met police commissioner losing count of the stabs.
‘NHS planning annual campaign of booster injections to tackle new strains‘ – admits the ‘i‘. There was me naively assuming the definition of a vaccine was to be a one-off for life protection sort of thing. Now I realise covid jabs come more like light bulbs, with a form manufacturer’s built-in obsolescence. I suppose there’s at least hope for one store space in every high street up and down the land to be converted into a constantly busy jab shop.
This has the makings of a kind of new industrial medical revolution. Employment for some, a new permanent profit stream for big pharma – and a population with multiple track marks on their upper arms like junkies.
We recall the former panic over reds under the bed, now we must fear chinks in the cracks. Following the Ofcom banning of their state-sponsored propaganda broadcaster & the discovery of their spies acting as journalists, now we have: ‘Hundreds of academics investigated over weapons link to China‘ (Times)
For the chance to bang on yet again about one of their favourite old hobby horses the Guardian digs up some story about a well heeled tax dodging old queen: ‘Elton John. I’ll survive, but Brexit is killing new music‘ – and this one too: ‘Queen lobbied for change in law to hide her wealth‘- both big stories in the 1970s, mind you.
But the big corporates are our new ruling majesties and they may seemingly lobby away to change our tax rules to their heart’s content: ‘Tesco tells Chancellor to hit online rivals with sales tax‘ (BBC) – far be it from the lefty Guardian to go against a big corporation on their frontpage, when they can dog whistle anti-British sentiment to their audience through the person of the Queen.
‘Warnings of power cuts and big disruptions‘ – frets the Daily Star. This is a little bit of winter weather, goodness only knows what might be in store as a consequence of: ‘Join our green Britain revolution!‘ – this the opening shot in a: ‘Major new Express campaign‘ – god help us!
“We have nothing to lose and everything to gain” – insists Dale Vince ‘Green entrepreneur‘ – in the Express. Speak for yourself mate, there’s my gas boiler and my petrol car… don’t I stand to have those confiscated?
And finally, well, you could have knocked me down with a feather (as I like to say): ‘Illegal migrants’ vaccine amnesty‘ (Daily Mail)

9am Radio4 “black and brown people have been here for centuries” says the guest Sathnam Sanghera
presenter Tom Sutcliffe pushes back unlike what Marr would do
Britain is a direct product of its imperial past. So argues the writer Sathnam Sanghera in his latest book, Empireland.
‘ we need to move beyond simplistic feelings of shame or pride in Britain’s empire if we are to truly understand who we are.’
+ the longer more entrenched history of class.
In Snakes and Ladders: The Great British Social Mobility Myth, the historian Selina Todd explores how class distinctions still prevail today.
poet Anthony Anaxagorou. His family is from Cyprus – an island deeply divided and with a history of colonisation. He charts his rise as a poet in the pocket-book series, ‘How to… Write it’. And his last collection, After the Formalities, explores the anxieties inherent in his British and Cypriot heritage.
They are talking about he’s British Born Cypriot

I listened to this all the way through.
At first hearing, two old white guys weighing in critically to the BBC.
But then I realised what was missing, and why. Two ex-BBC beneficiaries no longer there on expectation management. Cutting top floor roles is making progress? Why were they there in the first place? It is classic bargaining of the Souk; pitch ridiculously high and then spend hours chewing down), and laying out an inevitable case clear to all bar Tim Davie and various other multi-hundred thousand market rate talents, but with some glaring omissions.
We are being softened for an unacceptable compromise that gets them what they want, and admitted; a tax for an elite rich getting their preferences funded by all to make it cheaper, with a bit of propaganda for the govt. thrown in as a sweetener.
Poll question that, Ollie.

Hell no.
Is £80,000,000 of Eastenders going to be written off for another Americast watched by a dozen people to fund Jon and BS shuttling the pond?
I think not.
A conversation to be had? Bollux. That is code for ‘keep paying as that can gets kicked’.
Things have changed, irrevocably. You cannot un invent the atom bomb or ignore reality, as the ladies of CND tried to. Plus the women.
No matter how you try to juggle, or discuss juggling content headings, the fundamental culture aspect has changed too, and I am open to any non deranged suggestion on changing it back.
These two sage eminence gris talk about selective aspects of Netflix or Disney, but you can choose with them. Don’t like kiddie porn dressed up as societal commentary? Blow out the £5.99, or free. Not keen on pervasive John Boyega gurning? Sacrifice Soul and pop the Aristocats VHS back in the player. BritBox or iPlayer come with strings attached.
And that goes way beyond just content.
No mention that the ‘news’ on BBC isn’t. It is ideological opinion dressed up as reporting.
Equally all the money propping up Botney’s £6,000,000 and rising pension. Or BS’s and Zoe’s massive salaries. Or June Sarpong’s remuneration for whatever she does that doesn’t appear to be a working either.
The Titanic was an iconic brand, until it sunk because it was not fit for purpose, poorly run.

The BBC does do comedy. I listened – by accident to a chat on r5 between some bbc droid and an actress called ‘Juliet Stevenson ‘ who was full on luvvie . In fact – so luvvie that it was funny .
Apparently actors are suffering during the lockdown and need government support – so do theatres …. this self pity was funny but then she upped a gear by being prompted that she is an ambassador for ‘Amnesty International ‘ and has even taken in a ‘refugee ‘ presumably as cheap ‘help’ …
Ms Stevenson threw in something about the human rights act and by that time I was laughing out loud .
