      Up2 no news from halifax . Ive got access to posters’ email addresses and making contact was discussed a while back .

      I decided not to do so because on my read of data protection the circumstances would not allow it .

      Halifax – we hope you are recovering nicely and avoiding the BBC .

        Re data protection .. I disagree, but I have little work experience of it
        Surely the principle is that private data is not forwarded to third parties.
        ie that the supermarket doesn’t hand you phone number to double glazing sales companies.
        The customer like Halifax has handed their email address over for purposes of site business here. Enquiring about his welfare is site business.
        Using the email address to ask him out on a date is an example of breach of data protection.

        If Halifax is visiting this site he will know that concerned folks have been enquiring how he is doing for some months. I feel sure that he would have responded. Hopefully he has just stopped using the site for whatever reason.

    TOADY Watch #1 – News? One thinks it is fairly restrained …

    The BBC in a difficult position, perhaps? They like the glitz and glamour of rubbing shoulders with Royals and grabbing viewers & listeners with coverage of Royal ‘occasions’. They sympathise with Socialists – who mostly would tend toward Republicanism – on other political aspects of Socialism. Which way to jump?

    Restraint. Just like the Palace. I listened to most of the first half-hour of TOADY and am pleased to say my ears were not battered by claims of inherent British racism or bad British attitudes to mental health. I have no early morning BBC anxieties thanks to the tone TOADY today. So far.

        Scrobie, one rule for Lefties but if you are not fully signed up, like Morgan, out you go.

        A modern trend is for Socialists and their ‘beliefs‘ to hold sway over cold, analytical, facts. But Piers Morgan and his ‘belief‘ about the authenticity of the Duchess of Excessives claims is suddenly unacceptable. I thought funny, funny I thought. Why not the same for everyone? Socialists? Pah!

          Surely he’ll pop over to Brillo’s new channel?

          It’s quite OK to leave the awful BBC and ITV these days; they’re mainly a stale old bunch of autocue-readers, not very interesting, followers of gossip, rather than go-getters!

          Back when I was working, there was a minor breed of agent which was known as ‘the cut and paste brigade’, where all they did was copy everything that came through their door, and send it on to their clients. It was incredibly lazy, and while a lot more was done in the wine bars and pubs, later on in the morning, it took a proper person to actually work out a deal before the booze flowed.

          The same seems to be going on in the BBBC and ITV – probably Sky, (but I don’t ever see that), and while I can see similar stuff coming from the broadcasters, I wish they’d actually go out and research and deliver their own stories, not some dross filched from the press!

          Mind you, it’s very quiet stuff coming from the ‘normal’ US at the moment, because buqqer-all is happening anywhere there with such an inept party in power (apart from Opera Windpipe’s blurb), so there are some benefits I suppose…

                  Fed, 11 million viewers wasn’t very good for a programme that had been trailed and advertised so heavily by the BBC as well as ITV. And 49 million viewers (if correct) for the rest of the world apart from UK & USA is pathetic.

                  The numbers suggest that Ginge & Cringe (or Minge) had really overdone the whingeing already. Way before the time of the interview with Oprah.

        From what ive seen of the MSM the mental issues collectively being experienced by the EU is under reported.

        The latest being a claim that the UK as policy will not send vaccines to the EU . That claim was bad enough for the foreign sec to call in the EU ambo for a chat .

        Also the eire PM ( pop 4milion ) says boris told him no vaccine for eire until the UK is done .this seemed to be treated as ‘bad’ but i saw it as ‘ good ‘ .

        I dont see the UK owing anything to any EU statelet . But is does seem ironic that the whole population of eire could be vaccinated in a week if theyd joined our programme instead of the failed EU one .

        Perhaps irish republicans would refuse the oxford jab ….

            The vaccination programme in the EU doesnt seem to be improving – and the comments against vaccinating over 65s hasnt done them any favours .

            Its very tough because i want the EU to fail but dont want to see european people suffering / dying because the failure of Brussells .

            But if it was the other way round i think brussells would let us suffer and die unless we rejoined and paid 25% of their funds .

          We have friends who as well as their house close to us here in the UK have a home along the coast from Nice. They have been in France for the last year and received an invitation at their UK address weeks ago to accept a vaccination, but obviously couldn’t take it up. They did consider flying back despite the red tape. The French state let it be known that you could turn up at a vaccination centre without appointment and receive it. They drove to the local centre, some distance on the other side of Nice to them. The centre was virtually empty but they were told no, you must make an appointment.

          And we complain in the UK!

      Up2,

      Had you listened on to the 0810 feature, your ears would have become battered by claims of racism and all the panoply of wokism.

      Indeed, the top court of wokism, our, “Worlds Most Trusted”, are besotted because, ‘Polls say’ the younger generation ‘feel’ for Meghan and as we, “the Worlds Most Trusted” is currently seeking more younger viewers/listeners, we have a duty to our bank balance and the ‘wokist cause’.

      Yes, the BBC Court of Wokism inspired by their own home-grown Marxism, is currently seeking jurists for forthcoming court hearings. All manner, all sizes, all sexes. Only qualification required is to be woke, blacks will of course be favoured over whites. ‘Roll up, roll up, all the fun of the fair’. They will not let this one go as professional scalp hunters. The sights are focussed and set for work and the BBC surely feel that the child public (they want) is well behind them. “Polls say”. Wokism has matured to that level to make the Royal Family targets.

      If the BBC continue as they have started, my suggestion to the Royal family is to get themselves down to Do-It-all and buy some of those knee pads tilers and carpet fitters use in preparation for the ultimate humility of, ‘taking the knee’. Our “Worlds Most Trusted” will stop at no less.

      I will just mention that following the feature of the Toady morning was followed by a trailer for another three part programme concerning HIV. Some interviewed jerk told us that HIV came about as a result of, you’ve got it: ‘Racism and Colonialism’. Well, fancy that. Even the female muslim interviewer sounded sceptical.

      A simple fact of life on this planet? – What goes up, will come down.

          I also listened to the start of the new Alexei Sayle series and that was excellent. He took a dig at various institutions and ‘social mores’ and I expect he’s been getting quite a battering on Twitter and Facebook ever since.

    As if the Meghan and Harry story weren’t tedious enough, Piers Morgan has somehow imposed himself into the drama: ‘TV Piers quits in storm over Duchess rant‘ (Daily Mirror)

    However, we prefer the Metro’s:End of the Piers show‘; the Daily Star’s: ‘Telly gobster Piers Morgan has quit GMB amid 41,000 complaints over his royal rants‘; and best of all the ‘i‘ is a surprise contender for pithiest headline: ‘Bigmouth strikes again

    Channelling Morrissey of The Smiths fame, there. Well, Prince Harry was once The Last of the Famous International Playboys.

    Since politics entered an odd place where the Conservatives no longer conserve anything anymore, least of all taxpayer cash, and Labour no longer offer an oppositional alternative to the great authoritarian lockdown policy of the day… our media seem to set great store by opinion polls. The Mail offers their opinion on the Sussexes and backs it with a poll: ‘Poll: Now strip them of titles

    51% lose titles, 28% keep them… the missing 21% presumably replied with – why are you bothering me with this?

    The ‘i‘ has its mind still focused on NHS payrises: ‘NHS pay rise: public says 1% not enough‘ – now the difference with asking this, compared to the question of should Harry still be refered to as a Prince, is that there are actual consequences. There would be a cost to the public purse. However, the bland asking of the question imposes no direct consequence on the respondent.

    The ‘i‘ finds 62% of the survey subjects apparently thinking NHS staff ought to be paid more – although there’s something of a crafty bait and switch between the survey’s “Nurses” and the ‘i‘ headline “NHS”. One wonders, were the question linked with the notion that there would be a consequent extra – say £300-a-year tax bill – might that move the needle southward? And we ought not forget the element of virtue signalling involved with expressing gushing praise for the NHS. Was the polling sufficiently secret, in that was the questioning done in such a way as to devine honest unembellished and unashamed answers? The point is made I think.

    Clearly, I’m no virtue signaller… more of a vice signaller and proud of it.

    As for the second question polled for the ‘i‘, whether the public support or oppose a nurses strike, I’d like to know, given the lack of accessability to NHS services over the past year, with waiting lists now surely exceding life expectancy for many patients, how on earth anyone would be able to tell the difference?

      This topic comes up periodically…I am a radio listener (never R4 though) and the only R2 I can listen to is Ken Bruce. His days are numbered. The controllers there are only interested in their target listener group, regardless of whether this is the actual demography of listeners.. This allows them to pursue their widespread woke agenda, and so the Presenters (DJs, traffic presenters, not sure about newsreaders) are increasingly female or gay, without any noticeable talent for radio broadcasting. Mayo’s program was very successful and who knows why, but the controllers really screwed it up, he left and then they could replace him with a woman. I look forward to his new show…probably not the adverts though ????

He claimed the HIV was a product of colonialism and racism and jumped from chimpanzees to humans at close to the beginning of the twentieth century. Can’t see the science behind that myself.

      Sorry, Foscari, but I disagree with one tiny part of your post. What you describe is not ‘inverted racism’……it is racism, pure and simple.

      If we allow a confused picture of more than one form of racism to grow, then this will eventually, and inevitably, extend to the argument that there really is only one form of racism that should be condemned, i.e. only white people can be guilty of racism.

    So the Royal response is brief, restrained and diplomatic.
    I must confess I hoped for more, but it only goes to show that service and dedication teach rather more than personal prejudice.
    History repeats itself. While Charles, for all his many faults, shows continued and enviable loyalty and devotion to the love of his life – though it might be added that big knockers can have a remarkable effect on a man’s sense of perspective – his late lady ex-wife’s string, some say squadron of lovers culminated in a very public affair with the debauched coke-snorting wastrel son of a ‘businessman’ of dubious probity, as calculated and spite-laden snub to the Royals as her fertile mind could possibly have conceived. And now Harry continues in the same vein.
    Most pertinent comment continues to come from Oz where, for example, Alan Jones on Sky News concluded his biting and accurate summary of the Winfrey Opera by quoting from Shakespeare’s King Lear: ‘How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child.’
    What ancestral snub the Royal Family once gave the Spencers is lost in time. It surely predates any connection with the Saxe-Coburg und Gotha-Battenburg/Mountbatten-Windsor line, but their revenge continues.
    Meanwwhile ITV, already smarting under major losses of advertising revenue, think it a sound financial move to ditch a loud-mouthed, prejudiced, wildly outspoken major ratings draw for a minor, chip-shouldered mixed-race ‘weatherman’. I hope they feel the deal worthwhile.

      Ratings draw, eh, Beltane? I heard via TOADY that the Oprah interview has now been watched by 49 million people worldwide. I assume that is excluding the US & UK audiences. Obviously it was a bit of a ‘yawn and turnover after finding where the remote had gone’ for the rest of the world.

      To put it into context, the TV ratings people reckoned that within a year or so of the televising of Serie A soccer (from Italy) worldwide, 50 million people in China alone were tuning their TVs to watch it. This was the early 1990s and before massive worldwide Internet use.

      When the Premiership soccer TV rights was lost or not won by the BBC, many millions more people in China would tune in if it was a game where Manchester United were playing. The China branch of the ManU fan club was, iirc, larger than the Ginge & Cringe Whinge viewers worldwide.

She’s now back totally full-time with all the extra responsibilities the jobs entail, as to date the children were all from essential workers’ families only!

        I don’t remember the awful BBC giving such good people a round of applause every Thursday!

        They’ll be asking citizens to clap them soon, for ruthlessly reporting the state of mind of a couple of spoiled ex-royals, who escaped to a small mansion in LA, and wanted some old bird to tell their non-story.

    (Sorry, posted this in the wrong thread, initially.)

    Why does this Meghan Markle story sound to me to be so like the Jussie Smollet hoax. The vague assertions that ‘some white guys’ attacked him, slinging racist comments around….. no corroborative evidence, no real descriptions or identifying information, recruiting his mates to lie on his behalf ….. and, of course, the complicit media like the BBC were willing to believe anything that fitted their warped picture of the world. And they still try to convince people today that Smollet was the innocent in all of this.

    They try to explain Meghan’s explanation as ‘her truth’, like Oprah did, when there appears to be little or no evidence to support the claims….. and even when her husband, who apparently told her the story of some ‘racist conversation about her son’, completely contradicts what she said about the simple matter of when and where…. the media ignore such trivia, and go with the story that suits their prejudices better.

    Even the friends of Meghan this morning on Radio 4’s Today programme kept going with the crap, such as that she was terriifed because Archie wasn’t proteceted, and didn’t receive the title of ‘Prince’….. both stories which have been completely debunked – but hey, it must be true, because ‘Megs’ says so, and it’s ‘her truth’, and nobody should doubt her in any way.

    Just like it all played out for Jussie Smollet – but he got found out. Many people live in hope that she, too, will be found out, and perhaps that will shut her up permanently.

    But the race baiters will never let such things go. And the likes of BLM and the complicit media will go ballistic if/when the policeman charged with ‘killing’ George Floyd is judged innocent of such a crime, and that Floyd’s death was due to his drug habit.

      Excellent point and parallel. It’s very disturbing that so much of the British MSM seem to accept the bitches account at face value with no proof offered , no corroboration, just a stream of allegations. Apparently she threatened ITV over the remarks made by Morgan and they buckled . It seems if you simply disbelieve a black person, no matter how wild the allegations , you are guilty of racism!

      Watching the interview again, I get the strong feeling that Meghan is lying a lot of the time. Oprah is a good interviewer and often reflects back with a terse summary of what Meghan has just been saying. This invites a plain Yes or No but Meghan rarely gives such an answer. She deflects Oprah’s direct questions. For example: “So are you saying you did not feel supported by…the monarchy?” It should have been easy to say Yes.

      I also notice that Meghan puts her hand to her mouth when she is describing incendiary or implausible scenes. “Every time the lights went down in that royal box, I was just weeping,” she says from behind her hand. This is a gesture that often indicates the subject is lying.

      In my opinion, and from what I have read, Meghan as a child had unmet emotional needs. In trying to compensate for this, she identified with and fixated on Diana. So now, far from not wanting to be alive anymore, I think she cannot believe her luck in realising her Diana Royal Victim Fantasy and being able to act it out on the world stage.

      I have one concern for her. A tragic early death may also be part of the fantasy.

    At the XR cult meetings they are all convinced there is a “Climate emergency” and campaign to get climate mentioned in more news stories.
    Here’ today’s result Knebworth House: ‘Climate-change damage’ to turret to be repaired
    £74K grant awarded (plus another £180K from the Historic Houses Foundation, through the government’s Heritage Stimulus Fund)

    “cracks affecting 19th Century structure/decoration to the 15th Century Tudor building”

    Do you have mega proof that it isn’t just wear and tear over the 150 years ?
    “It is *believed* the cracks have been caused by climate change, with increased rainfall combined with periods of higher temperatures, said Historic England.”
    “A survey of the house will be carried out to determine the cause of the structural cracks and help develop a long-term repair plan.”

    So #1 belief is not science
    #2 You’ve jut stated that uncertainty by saying you need to do “A survey … to determine the cause ”

    “Knebworth House has also received a grant of £180,000 from the Historic Houses Foundation, through the government’s Heritage Stimulus Fund, for more work on the north-west turret.”
    Why is this second bit separate ?

    I wonder if all the TV drama filming work done over the years has caused any damage.

    Myanmar coup: ‘We were told to shoot protesters’, say police who fled
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-56343982
    A direct quote from a 27 year old policeman :
    “We feel that it was wrong for the military to overthrow an elected government.”. In a standalone paragraph with big gaps above and below so you can’t missit.
    What excellent English this man has. And he got all the right keywords in there.
    I call it 100% fake – written by the BBC who will claim they were ‘capturing the essence’ of what he said. But the quotes are to make you think that is exactly what he said.
    The whole article is full of heresay and conjecture – all in support of the BBC agenda for the topic. No facts at all.
    No side are ever the ‘Good Guys’ in these countries. Just different flavours of bad.
    I’ve notice this is a trend on the BBC recently where a story from an individual (usually from twitter) is written and deliberately worded to lead you to believe it is the truth. No counter arguments or critical analysis of whether they have any reason to lie is entertained. And they can print what they like – because they hide the agenda behind ‘it’s just someone’s opinion’.
    A technique crowned by this appalling situation where Meghan is actually being given credit for a truthful account of life in the Royal Family. Despite everyone knowing what a complete hypocrite and narcissist she is whose sole ambition is to further her own career. I’m certain they all know it’s exaggerated to the point of lies – but they are willing to go along with it because it suits their own agenda.
    The very definition of ‘hypocrites’. All of them.

        Of course you are correct.

        But this no longer matters.

        There is but one race who can say, do and demand what they want, when they want, and no other can even question much less critique. And they span from Sarpong to Megs on the chart.

        A large chunk of said race likely do not feel this way, and some vocal representatives, often of darker shades, are very unimpressed to see themselves and others dragged in by those claiming to be leaders or representatives, but are often shy in explaining how. Luckily seldom asked. And if they are, ‘Raciiiiist’ silences all.

        However, they who shout loudest get heard by those with the microphones, as heat over light sells, and the calibre of politician we have now only listens to what they hear broadcast.

        Hence a silent majority is ignored.

      Google probably mean “first mass produced mask.”
      “1897 Flügge and Johannes von Mikulicz was published. Their publication dealt with performing operations wearing a ‘mouth bandage’. In here, Mikulicz described a one-layered mask made of gauze”
      “In Paris, the surgeon Paul Berger also began wearing a mask in the operating room the same year.”
      Lien Teh was only 18 then
      Then Mikulicz’ assistant Hübner resumed the topic and described a two-layered mouth protection made of gauze that should prevent driblet spread.

      “Wu developed surgical masks he had seen in use in the West into more substantial masks with layers of gauze and cotton to filter the air.
      .. The mask was widely produced, with Wu overseeing the production and distribution of 60,000 masks in a later pandemic, and it featured in many press images”

      OK seems Wu in 1910 started on masks
      then 1911 mass produced them

    Behind the BBC is the Guardian readership. the Guardian readership devoid of leadership rely on the BBC for all news. Internationalist Socialism is the long held belief in Marxism (re-branded now as ‘Human Rights’, now includes; ‘Environmentalism’/’Climate Change’/’Global reset’ and the roll out as (new) UN Agenda 2030. UN Agenda 21 has already been accomplished a.k.a. ‘Climate Change’.. Tony Blair’s legacy is establishing international links to all the failed states of the World which follows the trend-setters of the United Nations World task force of top down, left to right global socialism. EU is a pivotal part of this adoption.

    Only by abolishing identity, race and sex can they achieve complete compliance and create an ’emergency’ that only the UN can solve. The UN has long ago become a tool for the cause.

    So you won’t be surprised that ‘Woman’s day’ is all about the abolishing of Woman ‘natural rights to exist’ as it is about Trans men and creating ‘clone like’ children (without a man or woman). How you may ask? and that is cloaked in ‘human rights’ terms that mean (in practice) the abolishment of ALL family values, western nation states and worse to follow…

    Take this for example: ‘The document also promotes controversial social engineering. It calls repeatedly for “gender-sensitive” financing for political candidates, including those who identify as LGBT. This would give the UN system a license to interfere in the internal affairs of individuals and member states.’

    Is this not the exact same agenda as the BBC elites?
    If you have any doubt look at the evidence:

    Your chance to vote against it. They will ignore it, of course but we have to try as the aim is world Marxism (and they already have ‘climate control’) and carbon C02 credits which is effectively a global tax (on industry) to finance the UN global ambition. The left believe all this nonsense without question.

    Join the resistance!: The UN (2030) plan is to Abolish the family is already being discussed for deletion via the same (success of) political correctness role of BBC media streams. Removing any reference to Woman, parent, family or those with conservative (small c) values is already underway. Which means ‘abortion’ (is also) as a means, by any means necessary. To an automatic self declaration of international Birth control as part of ‘climate change’ emergency – at the same time as abolishing Woman as a unique sex then proposing abusing children as they do adults, abandoning childhood. The BBC had led the way on that front. We know what that means.

    A media storm in a tea-spoon. Meanwhile BBC media ‘luvvies’ and liberals who agree that China and Russian influence and trade are ‘beneficial’ (or ignored if your the BBC, until Biden says so). Is far more serious than that.

    Harking back to the second world war is the (post second World War) protection of Japan and Taiwan nations. This goes far beyond the limited view of ‘Biden’ and he will have to show he is ‘serious’ about China. Even though they ‘helped’ him get elected.

    Remember he (Biden) opposed Trump on this basis of (Trump) measures against China, so to prove himself as an effective LEADER (protecting the new vision of US domination), he will create a localised war and hope his popularity soars.That will escalate into a war.

    We (UK) will be dragged in….
    We are already there… our Navy is already involved.

    Up against the EU (again):
    The EU is ‘pro’ China and Russia (who now supply the EU essential gas pipeline into Germany). The UK is a major part of NATO (unlike Germany). The EU has always planned an EU token Army to undermine NATO and stamp out ‘nationalism’. So defenceless (or surrender) to Russia at the ‘right’ time.

    And it all kicks off here….
    Biden (despite his previous links to China), will be forced by previous USA legacy protection zones and a long held duty and obligation to protect the the wider world from ‘world domination’ trade links and influence. A war looms.

    The UK is already involved. We can expect more China ‘espionage’ on our media and systems. Interestingly China is not impressed with the current BBC lack of support in media wars the (famous) ‘World Service’ (being put back into operation).

    When the BBc sucks up each other’s parts, they really know how best to do it.

    “Priti Finally RETURNS Migrant Boats [08.03.21]”. Note the plural, “boats”

    I don’t watch this character, ‘Mayhar Tousi’s’ videos because most are simply clickbait. The following is no exception:

    If it ever happened that, a boat, singular, was returned. He would understand the term ‘Taquiyya’ more than most.

    Just read the Nominations and Nominees for the BAFTAs. Never heard of the films, and can’t pronounce the names of the nominees. Oh I tell a lie – there was one, Frances Dormund. So that must be a relief for whoever is MCeeing that night.

    So the bend-over-backward and swing-the-pendulum-so far-other-way assault has started.

    I love it when the BBC is glaringly biased even when they’re apparently trying to be even handed. It just shows them in their true light.

    BBC1 6 pm news. Talking about the media in the light of the Piers Morgan resignation, Amol Rajan talks about the diversity in the media, and he says ‘ from the Liberal (xyz, I didn’t catch it) to the Right Wing Fox News.

    Cast iron proof that, in BBCland there is no such thing as Left Wing. Cuddly, touchy-feely and therefore nice decent Liberal is as far as they are prepared to go.

      I must admit that I probably have no right to post my opinions on this website because I almost never watch or listen to the BBC but as Fedup2 has never indicated that I should f–ck off and spit my right wing bile elsewhere I’ll just keep on spitting my right wing racist, homophobic bile here.
      That aside, glancing through Mrs Wright’s TV mag, I noticed an advertised program on BBC2 tonight at 1130 pm which I will record and maybe,watch tomorrow.
      I haven’t the foggiest idea why.

    Odd, isn’t it, listening to the great and good droning on about the rule of law and how it forms the the basis of a fair and just society. Funny how the simple flourish of the race card trumps legislation such as the race relations and equal opportunity acts, allows rape gangs, gives a seeming cloak of invisibility to fgm and multiple wives etc and allows parallel quasi forms of law to co-exist. None of which is ever publicised by our great public service broadcaster, that great arbiter of what is right. And they wonder why people hold them in such contempt.

    I am getting so utterly pissed off with this BBBC bollox about ‘race’ and ‘identity’.

    If they want to keep banging on about a subject that normal citizens care very little about, then go private and see who cares!

    Why can’t all those fading little autocue-readers get a life in proper journalism, rather than pontificate dross, use ‘exciting’ words, and generally behave like lumpen idiots in front of a bored audience?

    Up to a few years ago, I didn’t give a toss about what colour, creed or gender anyone was – If I liked them, I’d chat with them, if I didn’t, I’d make an excuse and depart!

    The awful BBBC has a lot to answer for foaming discontent among all their taxpayers.

    What a sordid bunch of parasites they are.

      Scrob… To use the phrase” this is the new normal” the BBC is producing propaganda pure and simple its enough to make Stalin blush. As with the Climate change dissenters, who were silenced and traduced. The same tactic is now being ruthlessly and openly employed against anyone who questions the narrative that they spew out.
      Like your good self, I have spent my life being colour blind . I have now had my eyes opened and I see the error of my ways.

      Michael Deacon in the DT has written an unusually interesting piece today.
      His article ‘The trouble with Meghan is that she doesn’t speak our language’ was flashed up as an example of the racist British media. He also says the date was not shown – obviously to make tracing it difficult.
      He goes on to explain how had nothing to with race and was all about the differences between American and English language and how all her emotive comments such as feeling “humbled”, “empowered”, “passionate”, “inspired” just don’t go down well here.
      It exposes the rank hypocrisy and complete lack of ethics behind all this. Now those who dare to speak against it are being ‘cancelled’.
      Just try to imagine what these people would do if they had the power to do it. They truly are Facists by any definition except their own.

    A repeat of Inside the Factory on BBC2 tonight was about a Cornish Pasty factory.

    When Greg Wallace was trying to join pastry to feed the production line he was making a mess of it when suddenly a black factory worker (worker of colour?) appears out of no where to help to keep the production line going.

    Greg yells, looking at the worker of colour, “Where did he come from?”

    Anyone else would be accused of racism by the cancel culture lot!
