“Biden: This will be ‘decisive decade’ for tackling climate change” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-56837927
Will this mean the US handing over all its manufacturing industry to China and India?
If so, our ‘Gone Green’ Bo Jo is bound to follow suit.
When did the Tory Voters call for this, and more importantly , when did Tory Voters call for mass immigration ?
The majority of the people of Great Britain have one agenda while Parliament , what ever their ‘political colour’, has another .
Do Conservative MPs exist anymore ?
Yes Conservative MPs do exist unfortunately, and they just as cowardly useless and incompetent as they are now.
Read what happened inside the House of Commons when Winston Churchill gave his inspiring ‘we shall never surrender’ speech that everyone seems to think was broadcast to the nation, but in fact was only delivered to Parliament.
Churchills wife Clementine lamented that the Tory MPs sat there stony faced and worried that they would never accept him as leader.
The Tory MPs cowardice in the face of the National Socialist threat had in large part led to WWII and they have not only ignored Churchill but branded him a war monger.
The last thing they wanted was to never surrender, they wanted to surrender as quickly as possible and save their own skins.
All through the following decades they retained that cowardice – Edward Heath being a prime exampled, and John Major, and they only regained some semblance of courage when Margaret Thatcher led them, but they stabbed her in the front as well as the back when they thought they could get away with it.
They ‘conserve’ the system and their place within it. Unfortunately more and more people are waking up to the reality that the system is shafting them where the sun doesn’t shine.
No not Bureaucracy gone mad one simple word of explanation suffices here – Burnham.
When Cameron gifted control of Policing in all Britains major cities to his beloved Labour party, Manchester had voted against the idea of a Mayor, but being a good democrat and listening to the peoples views Cameron imposed first the anti Semitic Tony Lloyd on the city and then Andy Burnham – and that in a nutshell is the cause of the problems

Have noticed it before and was thinking the same thing yesterday.
As Orwell said,
“Winston had disliked her from the very first moment of seeing her …… He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.”
and to continue with the stinking thinking … how long until the BS retweets this.
Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.

What an arse! This is a man who has never been able to take responsibility for his own actions and for whom accountability means nothing. Alas with the UKs lack of democracy it is inevitable he will be ‘re-elected’ again this time.
Having learned from the election that the way ahead is to cheat, I read that the Dems have voted to hand statehood to NY thus creating 2 additional guaranteed Dem senators.
The US Republicans are almost as stupid as the Tories are. They could have done a lot more to support Donald Trump, but most appeared to be rather embarassed by him.
Now hopefully they will lose their wealth and their assets through savage taxation – and they will learn nothing because these foolish old men never do.
BBC’s cure for pandemic stress: the streaming sound of rustling paper New 24-hour stream on BBC Sounds app, aimed at promoting mental well-being, will also include ‘soundscapes’ from the natural world Is life at the BBC becoming too stressful for all the luvvies at the BBC? I read today at ‘The Standard’ ‘(London news freesheet) – that Jonathan Meades (BBC TV producer) -has given-up his job at BBC TV stating that they just aren’t producing anything of value more, so he’s pissed off, and left today.
Meanwhile the pseuds (private Eye term that) The BBC is to broadcast the sound of pages turning and fabric rustling, as part of a new “relaxation destination”.
The 24-hour stream on BBC Sounds will also include “soundscapes” from the natural world taken from Seven Worlds, One Planet, the Sir David Attenborough series.
It follows the corporation’s success with broadcasts of “slow radio”, including birdsong on Radio 3, and “slow TV”, including a commentary-free, two-hour canal boat journey on BBC 4.
The Sounds stream “will reflect the BBC’s commitment to supporting audiences to manage their mental wellbeing” and is available to all listeners, but has been devised by Radio 1 with a particular emphasis on helping young people who may have seen their anxiety levels increase during the pandemic…
As its loony Thursday today and BIDEN and Johnson are busy proclaiming in the (false) Climate Summit, one UK prof writer sums it up – what this means for your home.
Telegraph Letters page: SIR – The Government appears firm in its plan to reduce carbon emissions by 78 per cent by 2035, but the costs and who will pay them are vague.
The plan requires huge offshore wind farms, solar panel farms, nuclear power stations and hydrogen generation plants. This electricity-centric economy will push our primary energy cost to more than twice its current level. Every household will have to change from gas to electric heat pumps, and have car-charging facilities, at a cost of about £20,000. To meet the plan, we need to start now.
If the Government spells out the true costs it becomes unelectable.
Professor R G Faulkner
I tend to agree. Its not sustainable. Biden is an idiot and Johnson is bluffing that it will work. The UN hope that it won’t work and communism will pick up the pieces (The Russians and Chinese know that it won’t work) and we can all live happy ever after. Nobody pays for it as there will be no money to pay for anything anyway (including the TV license). The BBC cannot see any bias in this.

BBC local news item showed the ethnic minority vaccine outreach team in Scunthorpe.
FFS ! Over the last 2 weeks Scunthorpe BAME outreach team have had 3 appearances.
– One day we had the mosque, Tuesday the Sikh temple
.. Now today pounding the Scunthorpe streets “in central Scunthorpe”
Normally Scunthorpe is not on the local news prog very often so this BAME outreach team are very favoured.
Volunteer Khan was shown
Then roving reporter “In this region 90% of people have had the vax but for ethnic minorities it’s only only 82%” of the over 45s have had the vaccination.
Most we spoke to had been vaccinated.”
I guess that zone might have 20,000 BAME so over 45s might be 10,000 so 18% is 1,800 people
(vs 40,000 white over 45s , where 8% non-vaccinated would be 3,200)
So actually twice as many white are unvaccinated as BAME)
Anyways I thought it didn’t matter about the final 20%, cos heard immunity needs 80% ?

I have shouted it out Harry! Amazing that so little is ever mentioed about St George’s Day, yet we have St Patrick’s Day rammed down our throats, we have other such which I won’t mention in case I offend someone. Yes I’m and Englishman, as my Ancetors have been for 1000 yrs, I’m therefore white born in the Northern European area as my Ancetors, have no connection with any coloured people, and yet my senses are being directed to assume I am not an Englishman. People who come to live in this United Kingdom from other nations outside the UK can only claim residency and may have a British Passport, however they cannot as so many do, claim to be British they can only claim to be from Britian but not OF Britain. Sorry to labour the point, howver the extraordinary push to present us daily with the rights of Multicultuarlism has gone beyond annoying. Even though I know coloured people who have come to live in the UK and are respectful of our ways, many of their compatriots unfortunately have brought the ways of their lands into ours and like Oil and Water they do not mix.

And who did the BBC telephone for comment ?. Anyone involved in the leagues directly affect by it ?.
Of course not. They called Laura McCallister, the deputy chair of the UEFA womens football committee.
Drip drip drip.
I saw a snippet from Sky on YouTube the other day, YouTube being the only place where I see anything from Sly Views or their comrades at the bBbc now.
News of Mourinhos sacking was “breaking”, as all “news” seems to be on Sly, and a panel of three were on. A melodramatic middleman, an ex-pro in Stephen Warnock and a female ex-footballer Sue Smith.
Who was asked first for their insight into the mindset of the once-great Mourinho? Yep, you’ve guessed it, Sue Smith. The ex-Doncaster Belles striker who has never managed at any level, was asked, seriously, for her valued view of where the ex-manager of Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United and now Spurs had gone wrong.
Warnock hasn’t managed either, but he’s played in the Premier and Champions leagues, in my opinion making his opinion a hell of a lot more relevant than that of the token Scouser Smith, someone who I think ticks the same three boxes as bBbc super-pundit Alex Scott.
Mind you I’m glad the pubs are opening again soon as then I’ll have access to many more opinions of equal value to Smith’s and at least be able to tell them what to do with it.
I know zippy about footballisting, but always impressed by the money and mileage squeezed out of post match individuals essentially finding new ways to say ‘blokes on left tried to put ball in goal right; succeeded or were prevented in the course of 45 minutes by blokes on right. Swapped around and tried again. And vice versa’.
I wonder if any daring commentator of social mores might one day channel their inner BBC editor, stick a mic under a nose of diversity and pose…. “there are some saying you were only hired because….”.
As usual no use of the words Muslim, Islam or Terrorist and the only mention of ISIS is to deny they were involved.
But they manage to get ‘Trump’ in there.
I am now certain the BBC have a new policy not to mention the word ‘terrorist’ when talking about Muslim attacks. Or the word Muslim. I would love to see the memo where they did it.
I expect it will get to the point where they won’t even cover the event, rather like in the US when national broadcasters completely ignore mass shootings by non white gunmen.
On matters musical, sources close to the bbc understand that critics are demanding ‘Norwegian Wood’ by the Beatles be renamed as it might prejudice rape trials.
While I was ‘on leave’ (ie thought this forum was down) I saw a story on the BBC about some Muslim terrorist (I can’t remember the detail) which was top story at midnight, side story at 3am and gone from the front page by 6am.
If I was not in Thailand, I would not have seen it.
I couldn’t post it here obviously and of course I can’t find it now.
This is how they bury stories which don’t fit the agenda but keep evidence of covering them to refute allegations of bias.
Meanwhile, as the US media and Mr. James make a pig’s ear of trying to whip up the mob on the BonB intervention, here is the national broadcaster doing its best with Stirring With Floyd 2…

I’m probably not the best person to try to explain this – it’s a real fag of a procedure. Word copied in here won’t do it.
I’ve been advised to go to “Is The BBC Biased” blog – while it’s still with us? For heaven’s sake don’t copy Word in there or you’ll get enormous spacing issues. Use the Italic and Bold features in their Disquis comments feature and copy your text back here. You’ll see little notations in the form you need which translate to bold and Italic and if you have those on your keyboard (madeningly I can’t type those symbols in here) but knowing what they look like you can type them around a “b” and an “i” to start and to stop your bold and italics directly here.
They share the comma and full stop keys on my keyboard.
Even on my laptop, using underlining or bold seems impossible. On the iPad even typing isn’t easy. Just once in a while I will resort to upper case but I know people will think I am shouting (you see once in a while I can use a technical term, or is it jargon?).
Scrobie, I learnt it from Stew. diamond* left ‘b’ followed by diamond right and then immediately after the text you wish to embolden diamond left slash / + ‘b’ followed by diamond right. If you wish to italicise, use the letter ‘i’ or cross (strike) through text for humourous effect use ‘s’. There may be other options as well.
This technique has a name but Snuffy’s brain is not yet awake – haven’t had second mug of tea yet – might be called hypertext.
* I call this < a 'diamond left' but keyboard experts probably know the correct name for it along with ~, { and ^.

Here’s a puzzle: if there is a ‘grave’ accent on a keyboard, why is there no ‘acute’ accent?
Since the totally OTT original coverage of Sarah Gilbert stood arms-folded like a God for single-handedly being the woman who saved the world then reading the deliberately confusing and carefully worded Oxford vaccine test results to cover up breathtaking incompetence, I have been sceptical of anything I read about it.
So this caught my attention: One Covid vaccine cuts infection risk in all age groups https://www.bbc.com/news/health-56844220
Particularly because I noticed it is deliberately combining the Oxford and Pfizer vaccine results to give a combined figure of 65% effectiveness.
So I followed the link to the report to see what it actually says. And sure enough, in the UK the combined results show 65%.
But there are also some more results unmentioned by the BBC from the USA which indicate 80% for the Pfizer and 90% for the Moderna vaccines. So it seems the Oxford vaccine has dragged the result right down.
The BBC also say there is no data for 2 doses of the Oxford vaccine – but the report states quite clearly that in one sample, two doses of Oxford gave 70% whereas two doses of Pfizer gave 95%.
The report is full of various data and it’s clear the BBC have cherry picked and ignored it to match their agenda.
The Oxford team have been funded for years on a very cushy number to prepare for this very situation and somehow Gilbert stands to gain over 10 million when the company is floated when I thought she was funded by Oxford University. Yet their result was not even first and it appears it is the worst of all vaccines by some considerable margin. Somebody should be asking questions about these people and all the tax money they received. I suspect the real situation behind the scenes is even worse than I imagine.
I understand the desire to maintain public confidence, but as an engineer, I really don’t like to see such lies and misinformation on such a big scale.
John, was it Sarah Gilbert who has misused scientific language this morning?
When I first heard the News on TOADY, I thought she was making a pun – the Pandemic for the UK is now an end-demic. But no. Sir Jeremy Farrar has just misused the same word in an interview on TOADY.
Far be it from me to teach two scientists some science; I will do it in the form of a question instead. Do you not move from a Pandemic to an Epidemic before you reach a virus being Endemic?
That is what I have always understood. Similarly, the spread of a virus from one country, ‘an epidemic for that country’ to the world progresses Epidemic to a Pandemic.
Sir Jeremy came out with another scientific howler on TOADY. He said Lockdowns were a last resort. No, no, NO. They are a first resort. And then only for a limited time. Especially in an island nation like ours. Or New Zealand.
AISI, chuckle, but I think only ‘Dr Ted’ can declare the Pandemic over and it ain’t over until we have sent our vaccine supplies over there, over here, over everywhere. There could be another song in that last bit, too.
We’ll have to wait for the Dr Ted talk 😉 before the Pandemic ends.
Guest, I am sure you could dot some mozzarella on top of sliced pepperoni or salami to make it look just like the pics that we have seen of the Covid virus. “Yummmhhh!” or is it “Eeeeewe!” ?
You’ll never guess what they’re saying… ‘Britain officially no longer in a pandemic’ (Telegraph)
Let’s read on to find out whether the experts define precisely what a pandemic is (or was?) and on what basis we’re no longer in one.
Unfortunately, we don’t find anything so clear. What we do see is: ‘Britain had “moved from a pandemic to an endemic situation”’
Pandemic, endemic… are they taking the mick?
Confusingly for this layman, our experts need to take loads of swabs of people after they’ve had a vaccination to declare we’re out of the pandemic, whereas they didn’t seem to bother with much testing to declare back in March 2020 that we’d suddenly gone into one. Just scary news reports from Italy by way of Wuhan. All that today’s report with that hopeful headline really amounts to is to repeat the official line of get your jab.
I’ll start to believe we’re over the hump when the daily quotient of female celebrity angst features reaches a certain level in the press. ‘I have stage fright’ – Olivia Coleman’s exclusive in the Times this morning is a promising indicator of normality. That must make the acting tricky, luv.
‘US emissions “will be halved” after global leaders unite’ (Times) – and apparently it’s as simple as that. Global warming solved.
Star Trek Captain Jean-Luc Picard had a catchphrase that went: “Make it so” – which given the rather militaristic sounding command and the sci-fi suspension of disbelief one-world-government united galactic federation context, seems quite fitting.

BBC Radio 4 ‘Today’ programme strives mightily to continue the BBC’s endemic tradition (see above) regarding reporting on Palestinian/Israeli issues. It leads all it’s bulletins and reports this morning with news of riots in Jerusalem involving ” ‘Far-Right, ultra-orthodox’ religious Jews, Palestinians and Israeli police…” – note the order of the players mentioned, and the emphasis on the political persuasion of the Israeli citizens involved. The on-line version goes further, descending to using the words ‘extremist’ and ‘ultra-nationalist’ to describe the Israelis – but neither uses any adjectives whatsoever to characterise the Palestinians involved.
The Today programme also mentions that over a hundred Palestinians were injured, with a small number needing hospital treatment. (The fact that 20 police were also injured was not mentioned, obviously, because that would point to the fact that the injuries were not really caused by the aforementioned Israeli citizens, but were incurred by the Palestinians attacking the police.
The BBC then coyly mentions incidents involving Palestinians on previous evenings, almost as an aside.
What the BBC does not report is that Palestinians have been causing significant problems, and attacking the police in the area every evening for the past 10 days, since Ramadan started. They are choosing to block access to parts of the city, and attacking the police, who have been trying to keep access open.
The Palestinians have also been targetting and attacking individuals and small groups of Ultra-Orthodox Jews each evening. But, of course, it is simply ‘de rigeur’ for the BBC to absolutely ignore any Muslim attacks on Israelis until they have escalated to the point where any retaliation occurs from the Israelis – at which point, the BBC wades in, and fundamentally tries to lay the blame on the Israelis for all of the problems.
Total and utter ‘Bias by Omission’ by the BBC – as it always seems to be when it comes to Israel. Nobody is saying Israel is pure and virginal, but for God’s sake, BBC – you have the responsibilty of being impartial in such cases – and you are very, very far from being so.
And we all thoiught that anti-Semitism was only rife in the Left-wing Labour Party – the BBC is obviously affiliated, in every respect, to Labour.
BBC Radio 4’s News headline at 6:30am today was that “100 people were injured in Jerusalem in demonstrations by far right Jewish extremists. It followed a number of race hate incidents”.
This was totally misleading. (a) It was not ” far right” Jewish extremists demonstrating (b) the figures of injured were invented by the Palestinian Authority (one Israeli policeman was injured by an Arab throwing a rock) and (c) the race hate incidents were Palestinian Arabs beating up and stabbing Jews.
There are sadly always incidents of Arab violence during the “holy” month of Ramadan but this time Palestinian Arabs have been inciting the violence by filming their racist crimes and posting them on social media (especially on Tik Tok). This is new and is escalating the violence against Jews.
Jews were demonstrating against these incidents and Palestinian Arab thugs in Jerusalem were throwing rocks, fireworks and firebombs at them.
I have heard ‘the Blessed Greta’ being eulogised on the BBC for days now, as she lashed out at anyone who does not share her views, that the growing world population will only be more badly affected by ‘Global Warming’ as the years advance.
Please note here, that no-one in the so-called ‘scientific community’, whose views she fully advocates, seems capable of putting two and two together on this issue, since this population growth, by itself, will create more so-called ‘greenhouse gases’, and is potentially a hugely fundamental problem if ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’ is to be believed (the clue here, BBC, is in the word ‘anthropogenic’).
However, I never hear Greta and her ilk discuss what we should do about population growth in this situation. But population numbers are in decline in the indigenous populations of the Western world, and so, of course, she and her co-conspirators can’t lay the finger of blame in that direction – and that perhaps is the fundamental problem for these people in this respect – it is not the Western world where the problem is increasing.
In fact, someone on the BBC ‘Today’ programme let the cat out of the bag this morning, that so-called ‘Grenhouse Gas Emissions’ reduced last year, again, in the US, under the leadership of a certain D J Trump – cue a few red faces at the BBC ? – unlikley. And, of course, with unfettered immigration at the hands of Mr J Biden and the Democrats, will that reduction continue – again, unlikley ?
So the culprits here lie elsewhere in the world. But no-one is going to speculate on that little problemette, whilst trying to screw every last penny out of the West for the Quangos and NGOs of the world.
And then, same programme this morning, the announcement that potentially simply exacerbates this issue out of all proportion – someone in Oxford, UK, may have ‘unfortunately (?)’ developed a vaccine with 77% efficacy in combatting malaria. Whilst the BBC was rejoicing unreservedly, nobody gave any thought about what that might do to the the ever-increasing world population, and therefore, to their pet peeve, ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’ – and, of course, starvation, for instance.
Not seeing the wood for the trees, there, BBC – but then again, most of them are only activist newsreaders, so what can we expect ? They will speculate wildly, and often snidely, about the least little thing if they think it might damage the Conservative government, but when obvious clamities might occur as a result of events outside the Western world ….. silence, nothing, nada. They probably haven’t worked out how to lay the blame on Mr and Mrs UK yet, for any potential disaster this may bring about .
For all the experts out there on whatever the formatting procedure is called……..is there a simple equivalent for ‘underline’ and ‘strikethrough’ ? i.e. between the chevrons ?
They can be handy as well, and I was sure I had seen something a long time back, but I’ve forgotten what it was.
Nothing really to do with the BBC but the rules posted to enter “George Floyd Square” are very similar to the rules posting comments on a BBC Have Your Say!
And if you don’t follow the rules white people, be prepared to be stabbed or shot.
Plenty of black people much more worthy than George have been murdered. But it was by other blacks so these racist hypocrites don’t care.
It’s the KKK in reverse. Just try to imagine the world if THESE people had been the dominant race. There would be no white people left to demand equality.

The charity Victim Support reports a surge in race hate, according to The Sun.
Could it be that all the militant race-baiting in the US and UK is fuelling that surge, by the law of unintended consequences?
That the average, decent, non-racist Brit is sick to death of being relentlessly accused of racism by the likes of the Far-Liberal BBC?
That all the kneeling, riots, clenched fists, public show-trials, destruction of statues, renaming of streets, denigration of our history, attacks on buildings and institutions, vilification of our heroes, guilt-shaming of the public; the endless mea-culpas, sackings, cancellings and deplatformings are pushing ordinary people to say: ENOUGH, and producing a racist backlash?
Vlad
Dividing the country by continuous race this and race that it the method the Marxist BBC is using to destroy Blighty – so that victim support statistic might well be an indicator of BBC success.
The BBC is assisted by the likes of state education and to a degree – plod .
So true Vlad, and without exception, everyone I know feels exactly the same way. All this relentless racist crap, is having the opposite effect than the far left are desiring. Those that never even gave racism a thought, are now feeling resentful and peeeed off.

Yes Conservative MPs do exist unfortunately, and they just as cowardly useless and incompetent as they are now.
Read what happened inside the House of Commons when Winston Churchill gave his inspiring ‘we shall never surrender’ speech that everyone seems to think was broadcast to the nation, but in fact was only delivered to Parliament.
Churchills wife Clementine lamented that the Tory MPs sat there stony faced and worried that they would never accept him as leader.
The Tory MPs cowardice in the face of the National Socialist threat had in large part led to WWII and they have not only ignored Churchill but branded him a war monger.
The last thing they wanted was to never surrender, they wanted to surrender as quickly as possible and save their own skins.
All through the following decades they retained that cowardice – Edward Heath being a prime exampled, and John Major, and they only regained some semblance of courage when Margaret Thatcher led them, but they stabbed her in the front as well as the back when they thought they could get away with it.

BBC’s cure for pandemic stress: the streaming sound of rustling paper
New 24-hour stream on BBC Sounds app, aimed at promoting mental well-being, will also include ‘soundscapes’ from the natural world
Is life at the BBC becoming too stressful for all the luvvies at the BBC? I read today at ‘The Standard’ ‘(London news freesheet) – that Jonathan Meades (BBC TV producer) -has given-up his job at BBC TV stating that they just aren’t producing anything of value more, so he’s pissed off, and left today.
Meanwhile the pseuds (private Eye term that)
The BBC is to broadcast the sound of pages turning and fabric rustling, as part of a new “relaxation destination”.
The 24-hour stream on BBC Sounds will also include “soundscapes” from the natural world taken from Seven Worlds, One Planet, the Sir David Attenborough series.
It follows the corporation’s success with broadcasts of “slow radio”, including birdsong on Radio 3, and “slow TV”, including a commentary-free, two-hour canal boat journey on BBC 4.
The Sounds stream “will reflect the BBC’s commitment to supporting audiences to manage their mental wellbeing” and is available to all listeners, but has been devised by Radio 1 with a particular emphasis on helping young people who may have seen their anxiety levels increase during the pandemic…
Its an ODD world up there at BBC towers!

As its loony Thursday today and BIDEN and Johnson are busy proclaiming in the (false) Climate Summit, one UK prof writer sums it up – what this means for your home.
Telegraph Letters page:
SIR – The Government appears firm in its plan to reduce carbon emissions by 78 per cent by 2035, but the costs and who will pay them are vague.
The plan requires huge offshore wind farms, solar panel farms, nuclear power stations and hydrogen generation plants. This electricity-centric economy will push our primary energy cost to more than twice its current level. Every household will have to change from gas to electric heat pumps, and have car-charging facilities, at a cost of about £20,000. To meet the plan, we need to start now.
If the Government spells out the true costs it becomes unelectable.
Professor R G Faulkner
I tend to agree. Its not sustainable. Biden is an idiot and Johnson is bluffing that it will work. The UN hope that it won’t work and communism will pick up the pieces (The Russians and Chinese know that it won’t work) and we can all live happy ever after. Nobody pays for it as there will be no money to pay for anything anyway (including the TV license). The BBC cannot see any bias in this.

BBC local news item showed the ethnic minority vaccine outreach team in Scunthorpe.
FFS ! Over the last 2 weeks Scunthorpe BAME outreach team have had 3 appearances.
– One day we had the mosque, Tuesday the Sikh temple
.. Now today pounding the Scunthorpe streets “in central Scunthorpe”
Normally Scunthorpe is not on the local news prog very often so this BAME outreach team are very favoured.
Volunteer Khan was shown
Then roving reporter “In this region 90% of people have had the vax but for ethnic minorities it’s only only 82%” of the over 45s have had the vaccination.
Most we spoke to had been vaccinated.”
I guess that zone might have 20,000 BAME so over 45s might be 10,000 so 18% is 1,800 people
(vs 40,000 white over 45s , where 8% non-vaccinated would be 3,200)
So actually twice as many white are unvaccinated as BAME)
Anyways I thought it didn’t matter about the final 20%, cos heard immunity needs 80% ?

Sorry to labour the point, howver the extraordinary push to present us daily with the rights of Multicultuarlism has gone beyond annoying. Even though I know coloured people who have come to live in the UK and are respectful of our ways, many of their compatriots unfortunately have brought the ways of their lands into ours and like Oil and Water they do not mix.

John,
I saw a snippet from Sky on YouTube the other day, YouTube being the only place where I see anything from Sly Views or their comrades at the bBbc now.
News of Mourinhos sacking was “breaking”, as all “news” seems to be on Sly, and a panel of three were on. A melodramatic middleman, an ex-pro in Stephen Warnock and a female ex-footballer Sue Smith.
Who was asked first for their insight into the mindset of the once-great Mourinho? Yep, you’ve guessed it, Sue Smith. The ex-Doncaster Belles striker who has never managed at any level, was asked, seriously, for her valued view of where the ex-manager of Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United and now Spurs had gone wrong.
Warnock hasn’t managed either, but he’s played in the Premier and Champions leagues, in my opinion making his opinion a hell of a lot more relevant than that of the token Scouser Smith, someone who I think ticks the same three boxes as bBbc super-pundit Alex Scott.
Mind you I’m glad the pubs are opening again soon as then I’ll have access to many more opinions of equal value to Smith’s and at least be able to tell them what to do with it.

I’m probably not the best person to try to explain this – it’s a real fag of a procedure. Word copied in here won’t do it.
I’ve been advised to go to “Is The BBC Biased” blog – while it’s still with us? For heaven’s sake don’t copy Word in there or you’ll get enormous spacing issues. Use the Italic and Bold features in their Disquis comments feature and copy your text back here. You’ll see little notations in the form you need which translate to bold and Italic and if you have those on your keyboard (madeningly I can’t type those symbols in here) but knowing what they look like you can type them around a “b” and an “i” to start and to stop your bold and italics directly here.
They share the comma and full stop keys on my keyboard.
I’m sure that’s as clear as mud.

Even on my laptop, using underlining or bold seems impossible. On the iPad even typing isn’t easy. Just once in a while I will resort to upper case but I know people will think I am shouting (you see once in a while I can use a technical term, or is it jargon?).

Scrobie, I learnt it from Stew. diamond* left ‘b’ followed by diamond right and then immediately after the text you wish to embolden diamond left slash / + ‘b’ followed by diamond right. If you wish to italicise, use the letter ‘i’ or cross (strike) through text for humourous effect use ‘s’. There may be other options as well.
This technique has a name but Snuffy’s brain is not yet awake – haven’t had second mug of tea yet – might be called hypertext.
* I call this < a 'diamond left' but keyboard experts probably know the correct name for it along with ~, { and ^.

Bold = your text
Italic = your text
For example.
For bold, put B within a left and a right chevron, write your text to be emboldened, and end bold by putting /B within left and right chevrons
Same procedure with italics, but use i and /i within the chevrons.

Since the totally OTT original coverage of Sarah Gilbert stood arms-folded like a God for single-handedly being the woman who saved the world then reading the deliberately confusing and carefully worded Oxford vaccine test results to cover up breathtaking incompetence, I have been sceptical of anything I read about it.
So this caught my attention: One Covid vaccine cuts infection risk in all age groups
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-56844220
Particularly because I noticed it is deliberately combining the Oxford and Pfizer vaccine results to give a combined figure of 65% effectiveness.
So I followed the link to the report to see what it actually says. And sure enough, in the UK the combined results show 65%.
But there are also some more results unmentioned by the BBC from the USA which indicate 80% for the Pfizer and 90% for the Moderna vaccines. So it seems the Oxford vaccine has dragged the result right down.
The BBC also say there is no data for 2 doses of the Oxford vaccine – but the report states quite clearly that in one sample, two doses of Oxford gave 70% whereas two doses of Pfizer gave 95%.
The report is full of various data and it’s clear the BBC have cherry picked and ignored it to match their agenda.
The Oxford team have been funded for years on a very cushy number to prepare for this very situation and somehow Gilbert stands to gain over 10 million when the company is floated when I thought she was funded by Oxford University. Yet their result was not even first and it appears it is the worst of all vaccines by some considerable margin. Somebody should be asking questions about these people and all the tax money they received. I suspect the real situation behind the scenes is even worse than I imagine.
I understand the desire to maintain public confidence, but as an engineer, I really don’t like to see such lies and misinformation on such a big scale.

John, was it Sarah Gilbert who has misused scientific language this morning?
When I first heard the News on TOADY, I thought she was making a pun – the Pandemic for the UK is now an end-demic. But no. Sir Jeremy Farrar has just misused the same word in an interview on TOADY.
Far be it from me to teach two scientists some science; I will do it in the form of a question instead. Do you not move from a Pandemic to an Epidemic before you reach a virus being Endemic?
That is what I have always understood. Similarly, the spread of a virus from one country, ‘an epidemic for that country’ to the world progresses Epidemic to a Pandemic.
Sir Jeremy came out with another scientific howler on TOADY. He said Lockdowns were a last resort. No, no, NO. They are a first resort. And then only for a limited time. Especially in an island nation like ours. Or New Zealand.

AISI, chuckle, but I think only ‘Dr Ted’ can declare the Pandemic over and it ain’t over until we have sent our vaccine supplies over there, over here, over everywhere. There could be another song in that last bit, too.
We’ll have to wait for the Dr Ted talk 😉 before the Pandemic ends.

Experts have been looking at data.
You’ll never guess what they’re saying… ‘Britain officially no longer in a pandemic’ (Telegraph)
Let’s read on to find out whether the experts define precisely what a pandemic is (or was?) and on what basis we’re no longer in one.
Unfortunately, we don’t find anything so clear. What we do see is: ‘Britain had “moved from a pandemic to an endemic situation”’
Pandemic, endemic… are they taking the mick?
Confusingly for this layman, our experts need to take loads of swabs of people after they’ve had a vaccination to declare we’re out of the pandemic, whereas they didn’t seem to bother with much testing to declare back in March 2020 that we’d suddenly gone into one. Just scary news reports from Italy by way of Wuhan. All that today’s report with that hopeful headline really amounts to is to repeat the official line of get your jab.
I’ll start to believe we’re over the hump when the daily quotient of female celebrity angst features reaches a certain level in the press. ‘I have stage fright’ – Olivia Coleman’s exclusive in the Times this morning is a promising indicator of normality. That must make the acting tricky, luv.
‘US emissions “will be halved” after global leaders unite’ (Times) – and apparently it’s as simple as that. Global warming solved.
Star Trek Captain Jean-Luc Picard had a catchphrase that went: “Make it so” – which given the rather militaristic sounding command and the sci-fi suspension of disbelief one-world-government united galactic federation context, seems quite fitting.
‘The planet’s had enough hot air, it’s… time to step up!’ – so says the freebie government/corporate advertising funded Metro in its laughably millennial targeted headline.
The giveaway does provide us a glimpse of our one world governmental line up.
In the big chair – he’d get tired and need a nap if he had to stand for too long – is of course the man who put the Darby into Darby and Joan, the Democrat US President: ‘Joe Biden launches Climate Summit’
We have global lift-off! (or in Biden’s case stair lift off?) Let’s boldly go… where no non-binary, gender non-specific person has gone before…
And your cabinet of all the talents pictured on the frontage of the Metro – I’m picturing them on the bridge of the starship Spirit of Unfree Enterprise: Mr Sulu – China’s Xi Jinping – presumably taking care of all the finances, all the manufacturing and energy production; He’s not exactly as alluring as Lieutenant Uhura but here’s South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa, no doubt the representative for diversity because these days that’s a big issue; India’s PM Mr Modi, we’ll assume he has the communications brief given the number of bloody call centres in India and that’s the location where thousands of previously working-from-home soon to be outsourced middle class corporate office jobs are about to disappear to; Mr Chekov with his finger on the phasers and the photon torpedoes is obviously Russia’s Putin, expert on defence and security matters; Sorry Spock, there’s no room for a real Science Officer; and last and least Boris Johnson, the red shirted nobody about to get zapped by the aliens and hardly missed by the rest of the important crew members, as our very own minister without portfolio.

BBC Radio 4 ‘Today’ programme strives mightily to continue the BBC’s endemic tradition (see above) regarding reporting on Palestinian/Israeli issues. It leads all it’s bulletins and reports this morning with news of riots in Jerusalem involving ” ‘Far-Right, ultra-orthodox’ religious Jews, Palestinians and Israeli police…” – note the order of the players mentioned, and the emphasis on the political persuasion of the Israeli citizens involved. The on-line version goes further, descending to using the words ‘extremist’ and ‘ultra-nationalist’ to describe the Israelis – but neither uses any adjectives whatsoever to characterise the Palestinians involved.
The Today programme also mentions that over a hundred Palestinians were injured, with a small number needing hospital treatment. (The fact that 20 police were also injured was not mentioned, obviously, because that would point to the fact that the injuries were not really caused by the aforementioned Israeli citizens, but were incurred by the Palestinians attacking the police.
The BBC then coyly mentions incidents involving Palestinians on previous evenings, almost as an aside.
What the BBC does not report is that Palestinians have been causing significant problems, and attacking the police in the area every evening for the past 10 days, since Ramadan started. They are choosing to block access to parts of the city, and attacking the police, who have been trying to keep access open.
The Palestinians have also been targetting and attacking individuals and small groups of Ultra-Orthodox Jews each evening. But, of course, it is simply ‘de rigeur’ for the BBC to absolutely ignore any Muslim attacks on Israelis until they have escalated to the point where any retaliation occurs from the Israelis – at which point, the BBC wades in, and fundamentally tries to lay the blame on the Israelis for all of the problems.
Total and utter ‘Bias by Omission’ by the BBC – as it always seems to be when it comes to Israel. Nobody is saying Israel is pure and virginal, but for God’s sake, BBC – you have the responsibilty of being impartial in such cases – and you are very, very far from being so.
And we all thoiught that anti-Semitism was only rife in the Left-wing Labour Party – the BBC is obviously affiliated, in every respect, to Labour.

BBC Radio 4’s News headline at 6:30am today was that “100 people were injured in Jerusalem in demonstrations by far right Jewish extremists. It followed a number of race hate incidents”.
This was totally misleading. (a) It was not ” far right” Jewish extremists demonstrating (b) the figures of injured were invented by the Palestinian Authority (one Israeli policeman was injured by an Arab throwing a rock) and (c) the race hate incidents were Palestinian Arabs beating up and stabbing Jews.
There are sadly always incidents of Arab violence during the “holy” month of Ramadan but this time Palestinian Arabs have been inciting the violence by filming their racist crimes and posting them on social media (especially on Tik Tok). This is new and is escalating the violence against Jews.
Jews were demonstrating against these incidents and Palestinian Arab thugs in Jerusalem were throwing rocks, fireworks and firebombs at them.

I have heard ‘the Blessed Greta’ being eulogised on the BBC for days now, as she lashed out at anyone who does not share her views, that the growing world population will only be more badly affected by ‘Global Warming’ as the years advance.
Please note here, that no-one in the so-called ‘scientific community’, whose views she fully advocates, seems capable of putting two and two together on this issue, since this population growth, by itself, will create more so-called ‘greenhouse gases’, and is potentially a hugely fundamental problem if ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’ is to be believed (the clue here, BBC, is in the word ‘anthropogenic’).
However, I never hear Greta and her ilk discuss what we should do about population growth in this situation. But population numbers are in decline in the indigenous populations of the Western world, and so, of course, she and her co-conspirators can’t lay the finger of blame in that direction – and that perhaps is the fundamental problem for these people in this respect – it is not the Western world where the problem is increasing.
In fact, someone on the BBC ‘Today’ programme let the cat out of the bag this morning, that so-called ‘Grenhouse Gas Emissions’ reduced last year, again, in the US, under the leadership of a certain D J Trump – cue a few red faces at the BBC ? – unlikley. And, of course, with unfettered immigration at the hands of Mr J Biden and the Democrats, will that reduction continue – again, unlikley ?
So the culprits here lie elsewhere in the world. But no-one is going to speculate on that little problemette, whilst trying to screw every last penny out of the West for the Quangos and NGOs of the world.
And then, same programme this morning, the announcement that potentially simply exacerbates this issue out of all proportion – someone in Oxford, UK, may have ‘unfortunately (?)’ developed a vaccine with 77% efficacy in combatting malaria. Whilst the BBC was rejoicing unreservedly, nobody gave any thought about what that might do to the the ever-increasing world population, and therefore, to their pet peeve, ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’ – and, of course, starvation, for instance.
Not seeing the wood for the trees, there, BBC – but then again, most of them are only activist newsreaders, so what can we expect ? They will speculate wildly, and often snidely, about the least little thing if they think it might damage the Conservative government, but when obvious clamities might occur as a result of events outside the Western world ….. silence, nothing, nada. They probably haven’t worked out how to lay the blame on Mr and Mrs UK yet, for any potential disaster this may bring about .

The charity Victim Support reports a surge in race hate, according to The Sun.
Could it be that all the militant race-baiting in the US and UK is fuelling that surge, by the law of unintended consequences?
That the average, decent, non-racist Brit is sick to death of being relentlessly accused of racism by the likes of the Far-Liberal BBC?
That all the kneeling, riots, clenched fists, public show-trials, destruction of statues, renaming of streets, denigration of our history, attacks on buildings and institutions, vilification of our heroes, guilt-shaming of the public; the endless mea-culpas, sackings, cancellings and deplatformings are pushing ordinary people to say: ENOUGH, and producing a racist backlash?
