    Quick glance at the BBC sport webshite, cricket headline ‘India punish England’

    The score at time of typing is India 250 for 5 on day one.

    Hardly punishing. If you understand the game you will know.

    Now if it gets to 650 for 5 on the 3rd day, that could be described as punishing.

    The BBC once again emphasise anything negative they can and make it clear they are so so desperate to see England fail at anything.

      Wyvern- For some reason I missed your similar comment. But at least there is somebody else that sees this BRITISH broadcasting
      corporation for what it is. If you look up the word oxymoron in
      the dictionary. It uses the example of ” Deafening Silence ”
      BRITISH broadcasting corporation could just as easily be used.
      There is NOTHING British about the BBC in it’s presentation.

    Meanwhile in the parallel universe that is the public sector……l

    The BBC are reporting with their customary glee that, under pressure from the unions, the government is scrapping a £95,000 limit on civil service redundancy pay.

    The unions are complaining that the limit can affect people earning as little as £25,000 a year.

    Do the Maths. That must mean civil servants can get a redundancy payout of FOUR YEARS of annual salary.

    There are at least two issues here. One is the stupefying largesse with which the public sector looks after its own, paid for by the rest of us. The other is that faced with such astronomic bills, the threat of redundancy and, by extension, re-organisation or restructuring is minimal, so we get an unadaptable unchanging civil service, unfit for purpose and comprising many with no real jobs and irrelevant skills.

    No wonder the country is in a mess.

    PS The maximum statutory redundancy pay is around £16,000. Typical in the private sector.

        Belt,
        The problem lies with the outgoing PM Doris and the usless cowardly incompetent tories.

        When he came to power, Doris could have lined up the mandarins one by one, invited them in and read them the riot act. If they and their minions refused to play ball, then they were shown the door. One strike and you are out type approach.

        But no he chose to do nothing, and spent most of his time pandering to them after the issue with the Minister for strongly worded statements when she apparently bullied someone.

        Tony Blair as is well known, politicised the uncivil serpents back in the late 1990s. Doris had the chance to start digging ditches that would have drained the swamp, but ultimately and as befits a creature with no back bone, he’s just slithered in to the water with them.

          Not forgetting Treesa, WW, whose comprehensive political naivety persuaded her to be surrounded with ‘servants’ like Olly Robbins who worked tirelessly to ensure the EU could run rings round her.
          She thought her ‘powerful woman’ image would dominate negotiations, instead she sat in empty corridors at 2am, waiting for Juncker and Barnier to finish their brandy and cigars.
          Memories of Sarkozy ignoring the outstretched hand of Cameron – Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and second largest contributor to their cartel – and then waiting for the group-shot photographer, standing ignominiously at one end of the back row, were lost to her. Sad woman.

    Jeremy Bowen being quoted over at ITBBCB?

    “I wondered what might have happened to an Iraqi news team if Saddam’s men had somehow managed to kill 400 civilians in London or New York. I thought they’d be strung up”.

    He knows perfectly well what would have happened:
    1) Candles would have been lit
    2) Khan and Boris would have urged us not to be rude to Muslims as, clearly, the attach had nothing to do with Islam.
    3) The security forces would have been blamed for not doing enough.
    4) The Muslim Council of Britain would have told us that British foreign policy is at fault.
    5) A year later the BBC would have forgotten all about it but Jeremy Bowen would be interviewing one of the parents of the attackers telling us what a nice devout lad he was.
    6) Facebook and Twitter would censure all comments – This account of events is disputed. It has nothing to do with Islam.

          Guest who
          Poor Jeremy putting the cart before the horse. I would have thought getting an uncorrupted voting system would be the primary requirement .

          The idea that voters would need to be able to read , write and know a bit of ‘civics ‘ is quite an aspiration . Currently the Party system delivers more than a representative number of fools and criminals into Parliament .

          I listen to some of them – mainly Labour – and wonder who the hell voted for that idiot – example – the deputy leader of the Labour Party – who was made a ‘privy counsellor ‘ yesterday – I mean angie raynor -? WTF were they thinking – or actually they weren’t – just red as mum and dad always did .

          In principle I’m with mr paxman but in reality it couldn’t be done .
          It’s a bit like having a lifetime allocation of ‘benefits ‘ once you’ve used them you are on your own – and not living off the efforts of others ….

    https://www.independent.co.uk/independentpremium/politics-explained/priti-patel-black-lives-matter-take-a-knee-b1801582.html

    Two points:

    One, the headline is clearly designed to accuse everyone in the the Tory Party of being a White Racist Supremacist for obvious hard left-leaning Independent reasons because this is how they work.

    And two I think you will find Sean that the overwhelming majority of British people have problem with taking the knee in fact simply because it’s designed to subjugate and shame so why the hell should they just because someone orders it? it’s called freedom of choice and its under pressure from groups trying to take control over their lives.

    Radio 4 watch
    A vintage Saturday morning – tony Blair interviewed on Westminster – Blair has thar megalomania still – he wants Blighty to vaccinate the world – then the interviewer read a bit of his autobiography to him .

    The comment was about sars – Blair decided to ignore it – play it down – deny it as a threat – not prepare for the worst .

    Blair being lucky got away with it – but it shows how much to value that scumbags ‘ judgement .

    This was followed by from our own correspondent – which I know has already been commented on . Jeremy Bowen exercised his enormous ego and was pretty disgusting . Bowen talked about the reaction of Iraqis after a dodgy missile strike which killed civilians . I could have told him that he didn’t get strung up because they saw him as ‘one of there own ‘ – which – of course – he is .

    Then to crown it the Muslim planning to build a mosque in the middle of Seville ‘for all to see ‘. I know Seville – they have no fondness for ‘‘moors ‘ aka Muslims – strangely the bbc droid who loves the idea of islamising Spain again didn’t talk about the views of the locals …

      For the Left, the ends justify the means. Their real pupose is ideological : they will oppose the Right whatever it takes. They view them as inferior. It’s massive, massive hypocrisy – but while people like the BBC and the MSM are part of the problem, they will get away with it.
      But of course history is littered with such people. Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin and many others. They were all prepared to do whatever it took to win.

    Oh for an end to the lockdown, when I can again visit my local pub to sample the fine ale, food and ambience. But wait— is it the wrong name ? as a brewery has renamed four of its pubs over concerns they had racist connotations, three of them called The Blackboy.
    Dr Halima Begum, of The Runnymede Trust, welcomed the news, saying the names had been a continual reminder of a “history of oppression”. Whaaat ? Some self centered woke idiot once again laying down her views and beliefs, which we are forced to swallow. She really needs to get a job, maybe with that old favourite Sadiq Khant- renaming or removing statues and street names (yes he’s back on that one again – so glad I don’t live in Londistan)
    Now here’s the funny bit….
    A spokesperson for the chain said “despite the obscure origins” (no one knows why they are called The Black Boy) there was a perception the names were “linked with racism, which is why we knew we had to take this step’. So somebody ‘perceives’ and we all have to change. Effectively what he is saying is ‘Nothing’.
    The joke is on all these idiots as if I were them and so worried about nothing I would be wanting to celebrate The Black Boy, not ban it.
    There used to be a pub near me called Uncle Tom’s Cabin (heaven forbid) and what about The Three legged Mare, The Quiet Woman, The legend of Oily Johnnies or even The White Horse (how insulting to non white horses), Dirty Dick’s, Filthy Fannies and The Famous Cock (disgraceful smut – if you so perceive).

    England won the rugby against Italy, but Italy retained national pride by refusing to abase themselves and ‘take the knee’. All credit to the entire team.
    More memorable, though, was the ad during the first break for the Jaguar F-Pace. Created by an agency with PC in mind – aren’t they all? – the choice of driver, for a prestige SUV was perhaps, some could think, unwise. To suggest that such a top-end vehicle might be so easily hot-wired must surely be off-putting for potential buyers?

    built up a strawman “All countries use lockdowns, so all scientists support them, so people arguing against them must be CONSPIRACY THEORISTS”

    That’s a strawman cos not all countries use lockdowns
    and lots of scientists don’t support them
    No wonder Hitchens won by a magnitude of 11 to 1

    Good news about Donald.
    Surely President in 2024.

    Yesterday I saw an article (on GAB I think) showing AOC leading a mob of protestors (rioters) actually inside pelosi’s office in the Capital Building. (Hunting her down?)
    It looked just like the pictures we are still being shown of the recent crowd in the Capital Building.
    About 40 of them were arrested by the police.
    This was in 2018
    If anyone has this perhaps they could put it up on here.

    Why is she not in the dock (rhetorical)

        Ocasio-Cortez, youth protesters storm Pelosi office to push for climate plan

        More than 200 youth activists, flanked by Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, flooded House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s office this morning urging Democrats to act more decisively on climate change.

        Capitol Police said they arrested 51 protesters for unlawfully demonstrating outside Pelosi’s office in the Cannon House Office Building. The arrests began a few hours after the demonstration began, when protesters refused to leave the area. Pelosi said she welcomed the protest and called on the police “to allow them to continue to organize and participate in our democracy.”
        “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who left before the arrests began, said she was there to support the protesters and encourage Pelosi to listen to them.”

    Two impeachments, two aquittals. Alarm bells should be ringing at deafening volume.
    An impeachment should only be made when some accusation after an event of such magnitude has taken place, everyone agrees it is not acceptable.
    In a just and decent world, those behind these impeachment attempts should now be held to account as the traitors to democracy they are. Pelosi first.
    Nobody at the BBC or in the MSM is going to go anywhere near it.
    The BBC article about this is quite disgusting in it’s bias. It reads like somebody died. Reminds me of those I read the day after the Brexit referendum.
    Trump will win by a landslide if he stands in 2024. No COVID and 3 years of Harris.

      I just caught 5 minutes of the BBC News channel. They read out a comment of someone who said, “Trump should be exiled”. Why the BBC felt the need to report that comment but not get the comments of any Trump’s 17 million voters is no surprise.

    Funny isn’t it – I wanted to see the weather forecast on the BBC – but instead I got wall to wall American internal DC politics which is of no relevance to us at all .

    But since the BBC sees itself as an American liberal broadcasting organisation I guess i should not be surprised .

    Will they impeach him again to get the right number – or fiddle the outcome of this one ?

    All this Trump2024 talk is simplistic narrative
    It’s 3 years before the election starts
    anything could happen before then
    Trump isn’t young for a start.
    Anyways reform should be a movement not just one man.

    Nothing else on so watched an old favourite, ‘Crocodile Dundee’ on C4. It under-ran by 8 minutes – because they’d chopped out all the parts that ‘might have given offense’ in a film seen by tens of millions over the years, a huge number of them children.
    The last time the public were treated this way was in the 17th century, by the Puritans in our first Commonwealth.
    And that didn’t end well either.

    Some suggestions for any upcoming US elections.

    All counts to be within the USA.

    All counts to be subject to third party verification

    All party officials allowed full observation of voting procedures.

    That sounds fair to me!
