Well, the peril that HRH faced during his honourable service with the Royal Navy is but nought compared to the travails of Meghan and Harry. How anybody can compare their lives with anybody who went through the hell of a world war beggars belief.
HRH Phil never had the stress of fielding questions as to whether his unborn child was gonna be a ginger.
Watching people die at sea is nothing compared to that.
There’s a picture on line comparing Harry with his grandfather Phillip, full-face, and there are undeniable similarities.
But, for some reason, they don’t show a profile….
This is one people used to tweet
Two bearded men with hats on will inevitably look essentially similar.
Hewitt’s second affair with Diana was after Harry’s birth.

Stew,
I’ve just seen the first 10 minutes of the 7.30 inane “celebrity” game show hosted by the sleazy, cheezy Vernon Kaye.
Flamboyantly dressed wider-than-she-is-tall Muslim lady, English obviously her second language, paired with Craig Revel Horwood versus a flamboyant Essex male hairdresser, English might be his first language, I don’t know, but he’s just called Vernon ‘babe’, paired with Mrs Kaye, Tess Daly.
A couple of my younger relatives are at present killing themselves laughing at how stupid all the contestants are and how bad the programme is.
The bBbc are awful but ITV really are diabolical. Is it really any surprise that people have stopped watching this keech?
Can anyone name any decent game show ? on any channel. The hosts are diabolical and need money to pay for their mock Tudor in Essex, and the contestants have the IQ of a goldfish.
Does Only Connect count as a game show? Only one we watch.
Who wants to know?
Oh Belfield was thinking the same
BTW he promises a 3pm Sunday video about his civil court case against Nottingham Police
Mrs ND watched that new gameshow with Paddy McGuiness on BBC1.The contestants were Lee and his husband John! If they won the money they were going to take their children to Disneyland.Apparently the two children were adopted and we the audience were told how brilliant it all was!
ND did you make that up ?
Or it the BBC is so near parody ?
I wish I was making it up Stew!
Next week I’m predicting BAME contestants.Maybe we’ll get a white heterosexual couple at some point…after all they do make up the majority of the country.
Ep2 “This time, sisters Jen and Nadine from London are hoping to use their detective skills to spot the imposters and win £10,000”
Is Nadine a black name ?
The Churchill prog was good.
Garry.
Agreed.
More generally, given its tiny budget as compared with the world’s finest, it hits the spot surprisingly often.
I wonder if it has identified the gaping gaps in the BBC provision and decided to do a few programmes for white British people whomdo not want to be fed a constant diet of narratives and minorities.
Yorkshire subjects (farm, vet), coastal Walks, Royalty, documentaries. You get the drift.
Certainly of more interest to me than competitive cross dressing.
You are probably right.
Stew it’s amazing where the TV tax money goes when instead of making good programmes they dump these typical crap TV. Shows. I think we all know where the waste goes or where they spend our money really

None of the good stories about Phillip will come out in the press until the Queen’s gone, like how he had a cottage up in the Moray Firth where they drove up prostitutes from Soho for ‘shooting weekends’ or the hundreds of other affairs. Princess Anne also had a love nest up in the Moray Firth though and there’s all the rumours about whether Andrew actually belonged to Lord Porchester. Different world really I suppose…
Doodle and thoughts
Scottish Calvin – When I was a young, innocent boy and was being driven by my parents past the village of Spinningdale on the Dornoch Firth, they would point out the rather splendid-looking house of the actor James Robertson Justice. Then they would talk about the wild parties that went on there at which Prince Philip was said to be a guest. From my parents’ ambiguous tone I formed the distinct impression that “wild parties” were things you simultaneously disapproved of and secretly wished to attend.
Well put.
Typical Calvinist behaviour, you mean.
Well Calvin – the coming 6 days in the lead up to the Funeral is going to give the MSM something else to talk about instead of covid adverse reactions .
With Parliament coming back on Monday it will be interesting to hear if Labour stays disciplined or the Republican section find their voice . I somehow think that the Speaker will be intervening if needed – the Prince Andrew situation is unresolved .
The BBC – I think – will continue to pretend to be British for the next few days ….
The BBC seem to be using this as an opportunity to push creepy Biden in our faces. They’ve repeated yesterdays ‘heck of a guy’ piece in another one.
“The BBC – I think – will continue to pretend to be British for the next few days ….”
Special uptick for that sentence.
Not the provisional BBC, but did anyone see the story of the two Devon and Cornwall Police Officers, sacked after filming themselves speeding in a car they had just impounded, then posting it on social media?
If thats the intelligence of degree educated officers these days, it’s no wonder any right thinking person despises the police farce.
“The policemen were on road safety duty when they drove at 89mph in a seized vehicle”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-56698186
Larking about for a few minutes whilst waiting for tow truck.
the incident happened on 16 January 2019 , the hearing heard.
The officers had seized the vehicle, and while waiting for a recovery vehicle to arrive, drove it without the owner’s permission reaching speeds up to 89 mph over 3.1 miles.
The vehicle was returned minutes later to the same position

BBC Social Engineering : Steven Moffat the Doctor Who producer

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36442982
“We‘ve kind of got to tell a lie.
We’ll go back into history and there will be black people where, historically, there wouldn’t have been, and we won’t dwell on that.
“We’ll say, ‘To hell with it, this is the imaginary, better version of the world.
By believing in it, we’ll summon it forth’.”

That says it all, Al Beeb and it’s woke agenda .It also says why it’s viewing figures are dismal but it can’t explain why its DG does nothing about it or why parliament allows it to exist.
Al Beeb has been one of the main driving forces behind The Woke Agenda in Britain and our PC culture. But who is behind it all? Who is the ‘head of the snake’?
I read in the Torygraph that Al Beeb is going to pay for, and show, MMA…but won’t pay for covering cricket.
Says it all really, promote thuggish, mainly foreign fighters and ignore white-clad real sportsmen
Talk about putting up two fingers (Azincourt anyone?) to the people who have been forced to pay their exorbitant salaries for decades.
What bothers me most of all about this is : who the f**k do they think they are to use OUR money to set their own agenda like that ?.
Absolutely typical of the Left : take over public institutions and use other peoples money for their own purposes because they could not possibly get the funding for it if it needed someone else to invest.
They are parasites.
‘By their words, ye shall know them’. Further insights into the mind of Steven Moffat may be gleaned from this article from The Scotsman.
“I was a phenomenally lazy schoolteacher,” says Steven Moffat. “I’d like to think I was funny, I’m pretty sure I was quite popular – but I was lax at marking exams and often I’d just give the kids a book to read so I could doze at my desk.”
He’s also excited about Inverness-born Karen Gillan as Smith’s assistant: “She can be incredibly feisty and sexy one minute and look like a 12-year-old the next. Matt has grabbed most of the attention, understandably, but Karen is our secret weapon.”
“Television is a great place to pick up women. Pissed television is a phenomenal place.”
“Between the marriages, I shagged my way round television studios like a mechanical digger.

“Matt Hancock ‘had private drink’ with David Cameron and Lex Greensill”.
Has Al Beeb got its ‘finger on the pulse’ ? This could explain a few things behind some of the Covid NHS expenditure?
“Bafta Film Awards 2021: Two-night ceremony announces first winners”
Does anyone give a toss?
You deserve a reply to that question, taffman.
No.

“Prince Philip on royal duty: In his own words”
He said what most British people thought but what we are ‘not allowed to say’ anymore .
But in the name of free speech we should begin the fight back.
Let this be the start of the fight back against the woke and cancel culture that is endemic at the moment in Al Beeb and the MSM.
Taff, I was lucky enough to meet once, briefly as he visited my place of work. He made a sharp funny witty comment in the ‘shop floor vernacular’ on a topical point regards the job we did, as he moved along the line of assembled workforce.
I can’t repeat it here, but it instantly broke the ice and showed he was someone who was actually highly intelligent, aware of his surroundings, understanding of the business he was visiting and clearly spoke his mind on many subjects.
The Managament team accompanying the Royal Party were taken a back, but the few of us still around to recall it, chuckle about it to this day.
Nowadays a pack of weasels is lurking, praying for such normality in the real world to manifest, so they can give each other awards in theirs.
He was ex-Navy. There is no shop floor where the vernacular is expressed better.
My mother in law would tell how they were drinking from their flask of tea in Windsor Park. Prince Philip was passing and was heard to say “Where can I get a bl–dy cup of tea ?” She felt sorry for him and wanted to offer him a cup of tea from her flask.
Buried away in the Provisional BBC News and Papers Review at 7.oo AM was a brief mention of ‘Government Scientits’ criticising the route out of lockdown as hotspots still exist in a number of areas of the country and that easing should not happen until many more have the vaccine.
I assume the HMG ‘scientists’ are the clowns from SAGE who since midday on Friday have not had any media exposure and must be smarting.
Secondly, and I was still half asleep I think areas mentioned included parts of Barnsly and perhaps areas in London?, I wonder dear readers if there is some ‘cultural’ reason that means prevelance of the virus remains strong here?
Not that Provisonal BBC would tell us.
Rates still appear to be high in east Hull which never used to have much of an immigrant population. Look North recently was proudly telling us that 20,000 Eu citizens have applied for settled status which is 10% of the population. The very centre of Hull now also has a large Middle Eastern population but there are still few from Africa or the Caribbean. But it gives the scale of immigration into an area that traditionally been families that had never moved.
I had wondered whether high covid cases were a result of the prison and indeed cases at that postcode are high but they are also high in the areas around it.
When did the people of Great Britain vote for mass immigration?
4.6 million and counting have applied for settled status out of the 3.2 million we were told resided here in 2016.
Whilst Johnny Frog and Manuel have until June to apply for settled status, and bennies, self-supporting working and retired Brits are being forced out of the EUSSR.
Deborah, It’s those HKR supporters, they’ve got no sense.
A quick look at the faces on Al Beeb’s web site will tell you why the Broadcaster does not represent the majority of the people of Great Britain.
“Hey kids… here’s one I made earlier!”
A mere cursory glance at the press frontpages this morning reassures us the Duke of Edinburgh is still dead.
I take the liberty of a mocking tone here (more so of our media than the Royal family) whilst being a strong supporter of the institution of constitutional monarchy in this country.
Which is more than one can say of the BBC, for example, where the wall-to-wall heaped on with an over large ladel faux respect coverage will, no doubt, turn to criticism and dredging up of historic indescretions just as soon as the funeral Land Rover has been returned to the garage.
As we often observe it is the cartoonists rather than the leader writers who strike a note more suitable to the man. Newman in the Sunday Times cracking a gag Prince Philip may well have enjoyed – the vicar charged with making the funeral oration declares: ‘Ive been asked to say something inapproriate‘
The liberal press have their ideal Grand National result: ‘National treasure, First woman to win Aintree showpiece‘ (Sunday Mirror)
If only England football captain and goal scoring hero Harry Kane would suddenly say “call me Harriet” then we’d be in feminist sporting nirvana.
The Sunday Times apparently hasn’t noticed our covid mass vaccination programme if they reckon David Cameron’s Greensill involvement was, as they quote: “the biggest lobbying scandal in a generation”
The Sun (via their web site) carries a BBC releated tale of woe: ‘Former Blue Peter daredevil Katy Hill suffered a horrific accident and was left scarred for life — after tripping over and head-butting the loo‘ – nasty, one wishes her well.
‘Katy was rushing her daughter to the bathroom when she tumbled after catching her shoe on a stair before “face-planting” the toilet, causing a deep two-inch gash‘ – I’d recommend sensible shoes, luv.
AISI, I’m just miffed that the old boy didn’t ‘get his ton’ and a Birthday Card from and signed by the Queen.
Oh, wait . . . …
AsI, given he reportedly wanted ‘no bloody fuss’ over his death/funeral is suspect the DoE would have appreciated your review far more than the cretinous Provisonal BBC, who are already insidiously making little quips and snipes from the sidelines.
Did you pick up on the announcement from the ‘scientists’ regarding the easing of lockdown(or not) I’ve struggled to find the story as it must be around 30 pages in….
I saw that the BBC has been refering to the DoE as a ‘ refugee’ .
Well in that case i must be a ‘ refugee ‘ – from the BBC – can i have the payout i am entitied to now please .?
So, ‘they’ are bringing back the Royal family on bbc3?
Al Beeb have got their own royal family…

“Covid: Bridgend’s turnaround from virus hotspot to lowest case rate”
Could this be herd immunity at work?
Not Al Beeb, just a slight aside. 73 years old I got my second Pfizer jab at 6pm yesterday, 10 weeks less 1 day after the first.
It’s pretty clear the younger cohorts are being pushed back so that the 12 week interval between doses gives HMG time to restock.
Peter – i saw some numbers from Thursday ? Which were something like 90k second and 20k first …
…. but the local centre was doing another first come first jabed job again .
With a £5b PR system working for Labour 24/7, that only holds power to account if it does not approve, Slick will prevail.

Noting Rog, Matt and Justin not too evident. And words like ‘context’ for matters science actually deployed.
Meanwhile, ‘Netflix’ prominent.
Seems more the needs of the competitive broadcaster outweigh the ambitions of the editorial propagandists.
Lets face it – the only ‘fact checking ‘ discussed ‘by the BBC will be a ‘check ‘on any one or anything which does not fit the BBC approved view of the world .
Same as snopes.
Every ‘checker’ I have searched for and found on twitter is a left-wing activist.
The film part funded by Green subsidy-Mafia guy Dale Vince
used the “no fish in the sea by 2048” meme that floats around Twitter every year or so.

: with ‘Trump said this but look what a dog he is’ etc.
example
Everything said succinctly in 4 paragraphs. Unlike the ramblings of creepy Joe. Megs & Hapless should take to heart the 3rd paragraph.
Perhaps the Trump denigrators from conservative standpoints , Juliet H Brewer and Douglas Murray, may wish to reflect on this.
I have no doubts that if he was still President , as the American people wished and voted, he would have put the EU firmly back in its box over its illegal threats regarding vaccines.The foolish politicians in the UK have contributed to the loss of the US President who was our best ally and have had him replaced by a senile old Brit hater. Makes you weep.

Montreal Canada ..hyped up police act out a part
“thug heroes against Covid deniers”
And local media reported it like this
#IntimidationPolicing The headlines has a couple of fails
#1 “violating public health guidelines” nope it didn’t happen
The boat was licenced for 25 and had 17 on board
#2 The cops couldn’t get a warrant and were not able to make any lasting arrests due to the fact they were NOT breaking public health codes.
#3 How the heck can you report that Rebel Media a major journalism team got raided by police
but mask that from the headline ?
Someone’s summary
1) anti-lockdown protest happens today in MTL
2) Canadian MSM won’t cover it because it doesn’t fit their narrative
3) Rebel News goes to MTL to cover it
4) MTL police arrest Rebel News employees for trying to cover it

More wisdom from political giant Sir John Major on BBC Marr, who suggests that the DoE’s funeral might be used to ‘heal the rift’ between William and Harry.
If Prince William were prepared to overlook and condone the immense depth of insult to his grandparents, his father, his wife and to the throne to which he will one day will ascend, I would humbly suggest his people would think very much the less of him and he would live to regret his decision.
Harry has made his bed and if it should prove to be infested with fleas, that might equally prove to be justice.
Beltane – if I were Prince William or, for that matter, any member of the Royal Family, I wouldn’t utter a single word to Harry – not even a ‘Hello’. Because anything anyone says will be reported straight back to the Markle ‘machine’, then twisted, edited, sliced and diced, and fed back to the fawning Megaphone media as another batch of so-called ‘lack of empathy, with the Markle mates’, ‘some crushing blow to an unborn baby’, ‘a criticism of her son’, but most certainly ‘all with racial overtones’, no matter how innocent the words and sentences used.
At least, if the RF ignores Harry – that’s all they can be accused of….. But then, of course, we have so many of the ‘woke’ Beeboids, who will endeavour to find nastiness in anything the RF does in these circumstances.
It would have been far better if he had chosen not to return – anyone who clearly doesn’t care at all about their grandparents does not deserve the platform that will be given to them.
If I was in the RF I would want Harry frisked for a hidden mic ! in case he’s hoping to get more “not helpful” comments for his pieces of silver from Oprah and Netflix !!!
Every family has rows and family fall outs, and the RF are no different. If someone in my family decided to denigrate other members in public then I’d be wholly pissed off. Building bridges I cant see happening without an all out face to face air clearing row. The interview was only last month not 5 years ago so its all still raw, so there will be a lot of festering still going on.
I accept that all families have rows, Brissles, but I also think the essential difference in this case is that the Family is Royal and as such it is not simply a case of water under bridges and time healing all ills.
Either we accept the concept of Royalty or we do not, there is no compromise and neither should there be – the reaction to the abdication of Edward VIII is clear proof of that.
Of course, you could say that simply proves the point, that there was a degree of forgiveness involved, but only after half a century. While that situation centered on a renunciation of duty coloured with petty spite which alienated the Windsors for decades, by comparison Harry and Meghan’s contrived and studied insults not just to individuals but to the institution itself, is on a different level altogether.
In the past wars have started for less and culprits threatening the throne have been banished. Yes, in these modern times such reactions could not be considered, but as richard D suggests, ostracism would be entirely suitable.
Equally I would be unsurprised if Charles wanted to forgive and forget, but he has proved his weakness time and time again. William, by comparison must show strength of character – transcending brotherly loyalty – because without that his position is pointless.
Exactly. We might forgive him if he gets rid of the cow , or more likely she dumps him when he ceases to be of use, but she is 100% persona non grata for the rest of her days.
BAFTA awards
A BAME paradise.
Lots of ‘best skin colour’ awards
Prizes for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. And Noel Clarke, ex Dr Who companion, for ‘outstanding contribution’. FFS.
.16 out of 24 main acting contenders are BAME.
Pass the sick bag.
Or to out it another way, 90% of the population get 33% of the prizes. How very…..err………equal. Not.
I would watch the main awards but unfortunately it clashes with Nightmare Neighbours Next Door on 5Star.
Utterly, totally, pathetic. Not to mention patronising, alienating and hence ultimately counter-productive.
Sluff
Forgive me but could you remind me of when ‘ nightmare neighbours ‘ is on – otherwise it is an evening of watch paint dry …which might be an idea for a BBC4 programme … with lenny or jermaine …
Fed,
Like the DFS Sale, it’s always on!
OK, so it’s ‘Nightmare Tenants, Slum Landlords’ on at the moment but these programmes are on every day.
Another stalwart of 5Star is Bailiff reality show ‘Can’t Pay? We’ll Take it Away!’ – Of interest to me as my Mum and Dad live next door to an Asian family who have turned their house into quite the little fortress – high fences, porch with no bell or knocker, huge untrained Alsatian (Malinois?) roaming the yard. Watch an episode of ‘Can’t Pay?’ and you realise why!
Trick
A whole range of programmes i will never see- although i was force fed ‘ homes under the hammer ‘ which i thought was a bit capitalist for the BBC …
… i know theres one where people cook and provide dinner with some narrator shouting all the time on C4 –
Elswhere twitter is festooned if pictures of DoE meeting people . The one with him meeting an american actress who sells fragrant candles is the best so far …
As for the next door neighbours id start worrying about Navy Seal helicopters crash landing in the garden as 2 in the morning …
Fed,
Hard to say how much ‘reality’ there is in ‘factual programmes’ like ‘Can’t Pay?,’ ‘Police Interceptors’ et al, but I would guess it’s a fair bit. TV normally shies away from negative representations of ethnic groups, if these programmes did that they’d often have little footage to edit together.
A common occurrence in ‘Can’t Pay?’ is dozens of Asians turning up mob-handed to try and prevent a Bailiff action. I mean, we all do that in the middle of a working day, don’t we?
As for the Navy Seals hovering above my Mum and Dad, I suppose it’s more likely than anyone from the Royal Navy showing up.
Trick
I just realised I do watch a reality programme – each week a chap
1 jumps out of a helicopter for no reason
2 thinks it’s too hot cold dry wet ( delete )
3 lights a fire
4 makes a nest
5 eats something alive which is gooey( grub/insect/ snake )
6 encounters something nasty – snake / spider / bear
7 climbs something
8 gets picked up by the helicopter
9 says he was in the ‘special forces ‘..
Can u guess what it is yet ?
Fed,
No, I don’t watch those kinds of programmes. I don’t need to know how to survive in any environment, I’ve got a chip shop around the corner.
Not BBC, but this should be read, and widely distributed, I think:

TWoTWee was giving the slurry tank a big stir on the subject of the disturbances in Belfast over the past couple of weeks. That is the BBC: slurry tanks and slurry tank stirrers. I had to switch off, it was so partial.
Defund the BBC, give up telly watching: you know it makes sense.
I can confirm that your suggestions are sound ones.
I learn far more, am far happier, and get fed so much less dross by avoiding television.
Ca va bien, OG? Thanks for the endorsement. It was such a one-sided approach by the BBC. We know Sinn Fein/IRA/ProvIRA/all the other Nationalist groups have recruited youngsters, groomed children, call it what you will. No mention by Caroline Wyatt. No questions asked of contributors, esp. Fr Martin Magill, about that by Caroline Wyatt.
Good joke, seen on The Conservative Woman web-site re limited numbers for Prince Philip’s funeral next Saturday:
“The PM should put Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill in charge of the funeral arrangements for Prince Philip.”
Out of the blue my wife announced we have not seen a TV commercial in years.
We all agreed this was no bad thing.
And carried on.
We also have watched no BBC in years.
Also no bad thing.
Tension in the South China Sea ramps up yet more notches. Seems the Chinese are tempting the Philippine’s to challenge their positioning of approximately 200 so-called, “Fishing-vessels” in the strategic position close to disputed islands. The thieving Chinese are trying every trick in the book.
The UN, virtually under the control of China, sits back and watches.

In the absence of any higher authority dealing with the disputes objectively and introducing China to their bellicose and threatening behaviour, surely there is only one end point.
“China Uncensored” is a good one to watch – the presenter is very scathing, and humorous. They have covered the “fishing boats” on several occasions.
This is the last video I watched:
Quite how most US MSM are equating this with how Sleepy is getting the old global diplomatic gig back on track is impressive.
Best I recall all was pretty calm with Trump in the saddle.
Well, bar the Dems and BBc trying to ignite race riots across the US to get Kamala in.

‘‘It was the Palace’s wish the Prime Minister spoke first.”
Whatever the truth of this, I thought at the time that Starmer was indecently quick out of the stalls (17 minutes after the announcement apparently) with his pre-prepared and ever so [in]sincere condolence message.
Such virtue.
What’s more is that he did whilst wrapped in the Union flag!
Fed, I apologise in advance… but holy shit ????
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-56708893
I can’t believe they have put this on their webshite.
Are they trying to prove they are impartial ???????? a bit late for that I’m afraid.
Rule Britannia ????????
actually they’ve only wasted 2 years cos the Indian police had him until 2017
Then in 2019 They issued the photo and did an appeal
This is an anniversary appeal.
2010 murder of a 17-year-old boy.
Police have released new images of Mohammed Ali Ege
He was arrested in India in 2011held until 2017
He escaped while in a New Delhi railway station toilet as police officers prepared to extradite him back to the UK.
Aamir Siddiqi was hacked to death at his home in Cardiff 11 years ago after his killers went to the wrong house.
Twin – ok – just ????
The Guardian doing their best to encourage some new race riots in London…
Black youth unemployment rate of 40% similar to time of Brixton riots, *data shows
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/apr/11/black-youth-unemployment-rate-brixton-riots-covid
*The “data” by the way is obtained from what the Guardian describe as “Exclusive Guardian analysis”
News media as agitator? I fail to see any other reason they decided to “analyse”, it is quite clear they want to see blood on the streets in London….
They also decide the Governments Race disparity report as “Widely derided”. Widely derided by the Guardian that is….
I disagree – where I live there are lots of coloured boys employed – in the illegal drug industry – ‘north face’ has replaced ‘stone island ‘ as the uniform …..
And the number of deaths they have somehow related to covid for today is: 7
We must be due a new ‘worrying’ variant soon.
Beware of cherrypicking single days ..like weekend deaths don’t get logged until Monday Tuesday etc.
Saturday’s total deaths was higher than the week before
(overall deaths are rising by 2.46% per week
Hopefully Monday Tuesday will bring low figs and we’ll be back to a fall)
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – what is missing?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-52530518
Notable absence of church worship on the BBC’s list. I guess that is because they do not want the audience figures for Songs of Praise to fall back to pre-Pandemic levels.
Quote “What can I already do?
blah blah blah “then at the very bottom
“Communal worship (up to 50 people with social distancing)”
Tonight’s TV seems back to normal schedule with minor changes
9pm Channel4 The Real Prince Philip: A Royal Officer
7pm BBC4 Gardening 2.5 hours
7:45pm PBS “Propaganda: The Art of Selling Lies: This documentary demystifies the predominant methods of persuasion ”
OK but PBS US aired it in 2019
One IMDB reviewer liked it and said it had lots about Trump.
The other wrote “ In 92 minutes this film manages to give bafflingly little insight into propaganda despite travelling all over the world and through the entire history of the human race. The film tries to talk about politics, society, art and the media, but it just doesn’t have the brains to do it in a meaningful and coherent way. Only a few uninterrupted moments, like the one with the artist who made the iconic Che Guevara artwork, will keep you from losing your mind watching this strange attempt at documentary filmmaking.“
Interesting American Beauty is again addicted to TDS even as Sleepy tanks on all fronts.
Meanwhile Springster is still recycling folk talking about her.
Nick is back selling his book.
5-7pm Channel 5 Celebrity canal barging
6pm Countryfile : canals Tom Heap and Margherita Taylor look at their impact on our countryside as well as celebrating the 200th anniversary of London’s Regent’s Canal.
* London again*, on Countryfile !
They the Grand Union Canal and celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Regent’s Canal, a once-commercial route that now brings a slice of countryside to the city, benefitting both residents and wildlife.
Plus : filming frogs
+ an update on the fortunes of a family staking their future on the success of high-tech farming.
So Countryfile what attracted you to doing along section with the rasta Moorings Manager Jamal who has a gigantic turban ?
=============
Dear me. It’s almost a parody. As a vermin killing son of countryside…it’s not for me.
Image doesn’t display here cos of hyphen in the name

Gave up on Countryfile long ago.I did catch a bit of it the other month though and they were planting trees on a housing estate in Bradford.
I suppose if Mohammed won’t go to the countryside then Countryfile will go to Mohammed
As I mentioned before
8pm BBC2 Ade Adepitan’s Global Warming special
“.. travels to breeding spot Heron Island, in the Great Barrier Reef, to find out how conservationists are helping to save the reptiles.”
As ever it’s a joint propaganda approach as it spawns BBC news stories too
The future of Australia’s green turtles is under threat by climate change – but not how you might think.
Warmer sand temperatures are leading to way more females being hatched than males.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/science-environment-56690950
Guardian recommendation too
Former paralympian and broadcaster Ade Adepitan fronts this timely three-part series, examining the impact of the climate crisis across the globe. In tonight’s opening episode, Adepitan is in the Solomon Islands, travelling by boat to witness the flooding of land masses in the archipelago owing to climate change, while in Australia he comes face to face with bushfires and gets to grips with the renewable energy sources that are powering Tazmania.(sic)”
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/apr/11/tv-tonight-investigating-the-climate-crisis-with-ade-adepitan
Ade heading to the hot bits too?
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/apr/08/marine-species-increasingly-cant-live-at-equator-due-to-global-heating?
Old joke coming up.
Ade went to Lourdes to see if he could be helped, they wheeled him into the water for 30 minutes, when he came out he was still the same. However there were new tyres on his wheelchair!
I know where the cloakroom is.
Oh yes.
Here is my entry for this week’s biased BBC juxtaposition award.
At 1758 on BBC 1 the weather forecast tells us that the RECENT well below average temperatures, enough for snow showers outside chez Sluff this afternoon, will continue throughout the next week, With sharp overnight frosts.
This was IMMEDIATELY followed by………wait for it…………a tralier for a THREE PART (FFS) Greta Thumberg series on Climate Change scaremongering !!!!!!!! Hahahahaha.
Quite what an autistic Scandanavian teenager with no science qualifications has to contribute to the topic, apart from cashing in on the Outrage Industry, isn’t at all clear but that clearly doesn’t bother the BBC as long as what is said is ‘on message’.
PS and if you can’t wait for Greta’s brainwashing, have no fear. You don’t have to wait. Tonight you can watch ‘Climate Change – Ade on the frontline’.
Black AND disabled.
You can’t make it up.
Ade on the frontline
Meet the new Boss,
Same as the old Boss…..
A national newspaper is reporting that the BBC has taken down the DoE complaints page for those irked by blanket converage of the DoE .
It doesnt say if it has put up a complsints page for those wanting to complain about the DoE complaint page being taken down …
Paddy O’Connell on BBC Radio 2 at the moment seems to have much the same playlist as Steve Wright yesterday – songs about love, devotion and the odd nautical-themed one, e.g.
If You’re Not The One – Daniel Bedingfield
Sailing – Christopher Cross
On the plus side, at least O’Connell has temporarily replaced acidic former drag queen Paul O’Grady.
Now then – what could be the reason why he’s not suitable at the moment?
‘Publicly known for his “trenchant opinions”, O’Grady is critical of the British Royal Family, having been raised by his father to view them as social parasites’ – Wikipedia
Maybe footyballists are taking the knee to one who knows what money is really all about like they do?
Her wife … how preciously woke
It’s woke but it’s no joke.
It’s not just so-called (manufactured) racism they want to bring down, it’s the entire Western, free-market, family-based, Judeo-Christian world.
They are Marxists, after all, continuing the Revolution by other means, under the guise of anti-racism, blackism, anti-whiteism, wokeism, feminism, transism, gayism, and every other ism you can think of.
All aided and abetted by the useful idiots at the BBC, of course.
Interesting who the BBC hires, and on occasion, fires.
@GW It’s a spoof account as I predicted and then confirmed yesterday.
Not fired, cos never worked for BBC in the first place.
I made the mistake of following that twitter link…..what a mistake.
That thing is full of po faced soft nitwits spouting about nowt. Dear me.
Regan will get a job in the complaints department …..
It would be really good if people checked Twitter stuff before polluting this site with ‘wrong stuff ‘. That is you – Guest Who .
Anything else you write now will be received with scepticism from me at least
NEW THREAD
Careful Fed… climb a high horse and when you fall it can make quite the impact.
If you think getting angry about being mugged off by your false Twitter getting on a high horse then so be it . Don’t post lies
You ok hun?
It’s a spoof account. But something the bbc might have said. Probably needed a ‘sources say’. It was a minor error, and I am sorry for that. It happens.
Stew kindly pointed it out. Acting like the hall monitor at Pyongyang High is excessive. Save ‘anger’ for something important.
Don’t post after too many Buckfast After Eights.
The BBC uses twitter, which is not ‘mine’, for much worse. Your prejudices are noted, as is picking darned odd fights.
Yours in variable scepticism…
