This morning I followed the link to the piece Laura Kuensberg put on the BBC website which was a long article on why Boris is a liar. I am not saying I believe everything he says (or is careful to avoid saying) but as a piece of partisanship on a public broadcaster paid for by us (or most of us), it went at least as far as Emily Maitliss did with her soliloquy. I had thought Tim Davie had said this obvious bias would not be tolerated.
But as I read Laura’s piece, the bile and venom seemed more than usual. I didn’t understand why – until somebody here made reference to Matt Hancock standing up to Laura at a press briefing. When she asked about wallpaper, he told her the briefing was about covid and refused to answer. I was pleased to see he can stand firm.
Laura had thought she had a ‘gotcha’ question for Matt and he was obviously prepared and presumably she got into a sulk. It is all very well Laura calling Boris a liar but as her previous story about sleaze and James Dyson wasn’t truthful and she should stop throwing stones.
Agree. Whatever Boris is like as person it isn’t her (or the bbc’s) job to make biased accusations and basically call him a total liar.
I dont trust the bbc, and I fear them, which is why I visit this site.
Just look what The Guardian wrote today:
‘Labour has slashed the Tories’ poll lead in half as more voters conclude that Boris Johnson is corrupt and dishonest ahead of this week’s bumper set of local and devolved elections.’
Journalists really are the most dirty low-life on the planet. Worse than lawyers and politicians.
BBC learnt a lesson, or was it the other way round, that continuous vilification of a president/PM, using lies and false narratives, can bring a popular president down. Specially with mail in voting.
Boris Johnson did not support Pres Trump, and now he is facing the same Left strategy that the Left deployed on Pres Trump. But this time on him. The Left managed to get a deeply flawed and unpopular Biden into the WHH. The BBC hopes that they can do the same, and get the Left Labour in number 10.
And why not, such is the gullibility of the Android generation.
In the fascsst USA now, Laura could never have even asked that question. She would have had to submit it for approval then wait her turn to ask when Biden saw her picture on his ‘secret’ list and pretended to pick her at random.
There should have been uprorar from the ‘Free Press’ over that but they all kept silent.
NCBBC the Biden crime family never gets mentioned on the news except by Fox so it’s good to see this tucker video, thanks for sharing it here.
We all suspect Bidens family have been up to no good for years just like the Clinton crime family but what happens ? The media and noticeably by direct omission does the BBC do the same. People need to wake up and watch more than one news channel and definitely get off the BBC
If Donald Trump ever engaged in hair sniffing, you would hear of it all day on the BBC – even now, such is the hatred of Donald Trump. Also Donald Trump’s support of Christianity was such that persecution and murder of Christians in Muslim countries abated. Now its on,full swing.
BTW, one sure fire way to make BBC types go complete nuts is to mention that you liked Margaret Thatcher’s policies and personality. She and Ronald Reagan brought down the communist empire of evil.
Sit back and enjoy. I’ve had people walk away fast, shouting epithets, as if I was infected.
” Germany calling, Germany calling” And we know what happened to him. Matt Hancock humiliated her . The next step is at the
press conferences instead of the BBC asking the first media
question . Let them have the last after the ” Essex Examiner” or
“the distillers diary” have had theirs!!
No they wont. And neither will India and rest of Asia. China is actually encouraging America to do something about AGW Climate Change.
One of the main reasons for Pres Trump to continue was that he would have stopped the AGW Climate Change agenda for another four years. Hopefully that would have put an end to it. But now our contribution will be used to fund the UN and its corrupt officials and dependents.
But here is Biden, chaining the USA and the West, to its destruction – self immolation on its funeral pier.
This will accelerate and bring about the complete domination of the world by China.
I’ve had a laugh a minute afternoon listening to BBC Radio 5 dead and their coverage of the ‘battle of Old Trafford’. They opened up the phone lines and anyone who says the Beeb don’t do comedy…..
Listening to the radio show hosts treading a careful line not wanting to pee off the callers and also not wanting to be seen/heard encouraging ‘law breaking’ through ‘mostly peaceful’ protest when two polis officers were hurt was a joy.
No fan of football, but when will the grassroots ‘fans’ realise the game is not about them and hasn’t been since about 1990….?
I would encourage readers to watch the short video clip below.
In 4 minutes Alan Jones touches on Trump; recent events in France and elsewhere; Islam; and bogus environmentalism (“this climate change stuff is a national economic suicide note: you cannot strengthen the defence of your country if you weaken its economy”).
The content is hard-hitting, precise, short, sharp and to the point.
But beyond that, savour the tone of voice: authoritative, forceful without being shrill, and urgent without being alarmist.
By contrast, it is a slap in the face of our pusillanimous, woke, cowardly and treacherous BBC, and should put them to shame if they had any.
It is the sort of opinion piece they would never air in a month of Sundays, and one more reason they must be defunded asap.
It shows what good broadcasting sounds like. Hopefully the upcoming GB News might have commentators like Alan Jones, though I’m not holding by breath.
Approximately 92 arrived at Dover yesterday.
The really disgusting thing is the continuation of co-ordinated handovers between French warships and our border farce e.g. at 10.19 and 10.29.
I always maintained, back in the days of LGF after 9/11, that it will be France that will fight back.
What about Europe. Eastern Europe is immune and does not allow Muslims in. It has had bad experience of communism, and Ottoman Islamic colonialism.
Germany, because of its recent past, cannot fight back. The EU does not have the needed muscle to do so. So it will be France that will fight back. And in keeping with tradition, we will go to the help of France.
With Donald Trump in the USA, I hoped that the Islamic invasion of the West would be reversed. But with the Left in power in America, and wagging the Biden body, its not looking good.
We know that the Left and Islam are allies against Western civilisation. Islam for the last 1100 years for religious reasons, and the Left for doctrinal ones.
I hope the Arizona audit reveals where the stink is coming from.
From the BBC website – “A CNN poll released this week suggested 70% of Republicans still believe Mr Trump’s allegations that President Joe Biden did not legitimately win the election – despite the claims being repeatedly proven to be false.” No, no evidence was ever examined in court; the Democrats refused on technical grounds only. Where is Marianna Spring (aged 25) when you need her?
I suspect it’s closer to 99% of Republicans. I wouldn’t trust anything CNN says, including their bogus polls – the same polls that gave Biden a crushing lead.
The BBC and percentages are like other media and percentages.
23% of Americans think the country has become more united since Pres. Biden took office, according to a new @ABC News/Ipsos poll. Among this group, an overwhelming 87% give Biden credit. https://t.co/3rHDO0Kfx1
Ha ha – a masterclass in misrepresentation by ABC news.
Integrity of reporter = zero.
Of course the country is more optimistic for the coming year : they just got a vaccine for COVID.
Biden couldn’t even win the Primary. Covid was used to marginalise Sanders and shoe in Biden.
As for Kamala, she couldn’t even win the primary in her home state. But that is what is being shown here to the common people- that the Left and its Big Tech allies can put a clueless Dementia patient into the WH, and a cackling female as the VP. “We can do anything we like” says the Left, even shred the basic principles of the constitution.
The Dems and its Big Tech allies in the media, and its gangs on the street, are doing their best to stop the audit. Lets hope the Arzona governor stands firm.
Four years of the Left in the WH, and the Left and Islamists in Europe, will put Christendom at a risk of extinction it never faced even at the height of the Nazi era.
Its worth remembering that despite the secular nature of present day Europe, its the 2000 year influence of Christendom on the culture and mores of Europe that defines what we are now.
Sadly, Christendom, Christianity, the West have given up the will to fight, the will to live, even. For reasons Douglas Murray analyses in The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam.
Now it just wants to bend the knee, metaphorically and literally, to its enemies, as exemplified in that most obscene act of servility, submissiveness and self-abasement so popular on the Left in 2020.
Muzzled and kneeling, like slaves, like cowards.
How Putin must have laughed. How Xi Jinping, Hassan Rouhani, Erdogan and Kim Jong-un must have laughed.
The lesson we have to learn is that salvation sometimes comes from the darkest of times.
As for Putin – he is not laughing but full of sorrow at the demise of Christendom. For if it falls, so too does mother Russia.
So, like in 1940, we may have an alliance with Russia. Not an alliance of convenience, but one of like philosophy. It might even heal the age old rift with the Orthodox East – the main reason was the same as the one afflicting us now.
Too, an Islam triumphant in the West, with all the power it will have, will be of huge worry and concern to China etal. Its just now eliminating that threat within. So no.
@MarkH posted This is old news and was thoroughly debunked at the time, but it doesn’t stop the BBC running it again, for no apparent reason other than propaganda:
10pm BBC1 news and Roger Harrabin showed a graph of AVERAGE world temperatures for the past 2000 years and showed how until the last decade they were all blue and below average. Suddenly the last line in red, the last decade shot high above the blue lines. I cannot get my mind how one high figure can depress the other 199 readings. In my day one rogue figure was considered an anomaly but now the whole world economy has to be destroyed on one set of figures. I might also add there was no sign of the Mediaeval warm period.
The BBC probably got the ‘back room boys’ to rustle the graph up to provide Harrabin (“He …….. studied English at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Harrabin – doesn’t tell us he got a degree).
Oh! hang on though, he, “has received an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Cranfield University.” Well that’s all right then: he can speak with some authority on science topics. Or can he with the academic ‘gift’ of a doctorate?
All the calculations show the planet is heading for the cooling effects of a Solar Minimum period.
The last century has shown, that in comparison to whatever happened in the last 2000 years, the Left made the 20th century, ie., the last 100 years, the worst in the history of the world.
No one can beat the Left when it comes to mass murder by any means, including using famine as a weapon.
We know that Fact-checking is often an ambush-name for orgs that are doing selective-fact-spinning.
Here’s a pretty horrendous one from FullFact
We talked about the Lorraine Item last week
that had a number big errors
But her main point is ‘It’s all very simple Here’s a photo of before lockdown measures, ….. here’s a photo after and here’s one after look CLEAN AIR ..Himalayas !’
And everyone said “It’s Photoshopped”
Well Fullfact tries to brush over that by saying it was faked, but it is a real effect.
That still leaves the lie that the effect is ongoing
whereas AFAIK it was for ONE day and similar one days have happened in the past
That desperate attempt to excuse that lie really shows the ‘fact checkers’ for what they are. What a joke.
It reminds me of the cover photo on Time magazine of the illegal-immigrants and the little child screaming after being separated from it’s mother by the evil Donald Trump. It’s mum had actually just gone to the toilet and they were reunited moments later. When exposed, they said ‘it captured the sentiment’ and refused to apologise. Yet now – under Biden – children are being sent alone across the border and have to fend for themselves until they get detained. A million times worse. Yet nobody is saying anything about it.
These hypocrites make me sick. They don’t care one bit about truth. It’s all agenda.
This searing article from @bbclaurak really defines what journalism should be about to me. Objective but passionate and well evidenced with a host of examples of Johnson’s well documented dishonesty. Oh no .. hang on …
I'm former BBC journalist. I ashamed of its political journalism right now. Johnson has a simple "relationship with the truth": he's a liar. The lengths the BBC's political editor goes to to make this sound OK is shameful. https://t.co/gD0yXNtllT
What kind of journalism is this that trashes the work of proper journalists, that has no comprehension of what a story is, or, for that matter the importance of an honest prime minister, and sides always with the Establishment? pic.twitter.com/JQUtRAYNUK
These “journalists” really think they are in charge of the news, don’t they. Are they worried as control is slipping through their fingers, or have they simply not noticed?
GW, the drip, drip, drip of negativity designed to undermine Boris irrespective of the average persons views of him.
Just before 0900 this morning there was a debate on Toady regarding the situation in Northern Ireland. If I’m not very much mistaken, our, “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” has now turned its sights to undermining NI and working toward breaking it off from the UK. Well planned? – with seconds to go to reach 0900, The Bee lady asked a deeply academic question about whether NI will eventually be absorbed by Ireland. To answer that question needed many minutes. The interviewee started to answer but was halted by: “I’m sorry we have to go now”.
The BBC, ‘Professionals in deceit and false news either directly promulgated or by omission’.
I suppose Boris J is now beginning to feel what Donald Trump felt in the last four years.
Boris was negative at best when it came supporting Donald Trump. Now he could do with Trump’s support – something that was given to him by Trump all the rime.
I hope Boris J finally begins to realise that there can never be peace with the Left. The only strategy the communist Left knows is to destroy the enemy. That is murder them all, as they did in the last century.
This strategy they share with Islam. Its not enough for Islam to have conquered and mass murdered the once Christian nations of the ME. Even now, with Christians a tiny minority, Christians are still being mercilessly persecuted.
Just saw this one under the Mitt Romney getting booed story::
‘A CNN poll released this week suggested 70% of Republicans still believe Mr Trump’s allegations that President Joe Biden did not legitimately win the election – despite the claims being repeatedly proven to be false.’
I don’t recall these claims proven to be false. I recall SOME claims being explained away where they could, but I also recall hearing lots of accusations which I never saw any answer to.
This statement implies every claim was proven to be false. It simply cannot be not true. The usual trick of careful wording by the BBC is gradually getting closer and closer to outright lies as their confidence grows when they get away with it.
JohnC- ‘A CNN poll released this week suggested 70% of Republicans still believe Mr Trump’s allegations that President Joe Biden did not legitimately win the election – despite the claims being repeatedly proven to be false.’
The claims have never been tested in court as SCOTUS fled the crime scene. Too much brutality and thuggery on the streets from the Left that made even SCOTUS run for the hills. They didn’t even have the courage to hear the petition from 18 states, including Texas.
If this problem is not faced truthfully, it will break the USA. And with it, us too. Of course it will give a lot of pleasure and satisfaction to the Left, Obama, and China. Not Russia though.
Now the Left even controls the FBI and DoJ. It has raided the home of Rudi Guiliani at 6am, and carried off his materials – without any authority from the court.
The USA is now a totalitarians state. That is what the Left has done to it.
The BBC has contacted 29 of Britain’s largest capacity mosques to find out their policy for the month of Ramadan.
Five do not have a women’s area, while six mosques responded to say they cannot accommodate women due to Covid-19 health and safety reasons. Twelve were open for women, while seven didn’t respond.
Julie Siddiqi, a women’s rights campaigner who wants to make British mosques more accessible for women…”
Here we go… Is the far lefts unwritten pact with the muslims cracking!
Why not ask her why muslims think women are considered to be ‘in a state of impurity’ when menstruating and can’t enter mosques
Even within the confines of this possibly narrow interest item, the BBC propaganda team are busy at work:
Second paragraph: ‘Almas barely has time for her religion. She is a single mother-of-three and is studying for a university degree.’ Well, no doubt there are some Muslim women in that situation, but it’s not exactly common or representative within that community, is it?
Later on we learn about ‘Julie Siddiqi, a women’s rights campaigner who wants to make British mosques more accessible for women’. Julie… from the Latin, a common name in Europe and the Anglophobe world but not really used in the Muslim and Arabic world. The intention of the BBC here is to imply that there are ‘English/British’ Muslims and yes, there are, but again it is not particularly representative.
However, when it comes to something that doesn’t fit the narrative the BBC are noticeably quiet. We read ‘Sometimes women will pray behind men in the same space. More often, mosques will have two separate rooms for each gender to pray in, with the men in the main prayer hall and the women in an alternative space.’ What! Two separate rooms for each gender to pray in? Two? How can that be, BBC? You’ve been busy telling our kids there are more than 100 genders. So where do all the trans-men, trans-women, non-binary, gender fluid, pansexual etc Muslims pray in the mosque? To it’s credit, Islam doesn’t subscribe to this biology-denying nonsense.
The BBC… there are more than a hundred genders. Except when it comes to the Gender Pay Gap (sic), Wimmin’s football and Islam. When it mysteriously reverts back to two.
“Julie converted to Islam in March 1995
Siddiqi is a well-known broadcaster and writer, and former Director of the Muslim Society of Great Britain.
Born and bred in Surrey, she is a white British convert.”
Th internet names her sons : Eesa, Musa
but the name of her husband seems secret.
The tradition in most Muslim countries is that since you stick your bum in the air to pray, it is not appropriate for men to be behind the women.
However in Indonesia wives often pray standing next to their husband, say in outdoor praying or at home.
BTW : Mary in Arabic called Marīam the mother of Isa (Jesus) is venerated in Islam. … She is the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran
Given Sky Blonde sniggering and BBC blonde simply going full attack cow with their gotchas, hardly surprising. Why answer when the question is for heat rather than light?
In a democracy pols answer to the people, and the failure here is serious.
I long assessed MPs are not advocates or even representatives. They are stenographers and posties, with a team who copy pastes what you send having sat on it a while, gets them to sign it and then send on to wait months until copy pasting the instruction to tell you to sod off on a letter they sign back.
And if you persist they concoct a Cathy Newman to effect a flounce. Or future block.
PM Boris can use the power he has if he wants or has the guts.
One way to shake up the BBC, is to use the time honoured tactic of “modernisation”. The “modernisation” tactic in this instance would be to use two primary reasons.
1. In these times of covid austerity, it is necessary to streamline the BBC to get more effective use of taxpayers money.
2. An information revolution is ongoing, where the public has access to a greater variety of information outlets. The BBC has to be modernised, its management structure, news and views, to reflect the greater variety in society, as well as information outlets.
Under these two guises, one can do virtually anything. The conservatives are the only ones who can do this and its in their interest to do so. In fact, for their very political survival and ours, as well as offering the public a choice of sorts, it is absolutely necessary.
Any opposition from BBC apparatchiks can be dismissed as Luddite, resistant to change, old fashioned, or whatever comes to mind.
Any Australian arriving in the country from India faces fines and up to five years in prison – which critics say were not imposed on Australians returning from other nations at the height of their Covid waves.

‘Line of Duty finale lands record ratings’ https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56945425
But as much as I scour the wet-panties incestuous article, I cannot find which ‘record’ it has broken.
I suspect it just means it was the most watched one of the series. Hardly ‘record ratings’.
And hardly surprising as it’s been plugged and advertised through the roof – just like Dr Who was when Jodie started.
Shame it has been universally criticised as rubbish. I personally cannot watch any BBC drama now. Seeing it at the start used to be a sign of something decent. Now it’s a sign of imminent agenda-programming and that someone black will be on your screen within 5 minutes (who will NOT be the villain, even though some racist whites will say he is until it is revealed it is a middle aged pale-and-stale).
I’ve chosen not to take it. I’m not anti-vax, I may take it in the future if I consider it to be safe enough.
It is however, concerning that the NHS yellow card reporting of side effects is quite difficult to find in full, I did manage, but it took some time. I would recommend a study of it if you haven’t taken it yet.
My initial thoughts before any research were that the same people who told me Biden won the US election fairly, the last UK election was going to be close, Trump bad, 3 weeks to flatten the curve, etc were quite insistent I take it. Naturally this set off the alarm bells and set me on a path to research thoroughly, and based on actual NHS/.gov data, and not some guy on twitter.
No “vaccine” for me. I am at an age, and with a condition, which I don’t want to risk jeopardising with an untested, unnecessary vaccine. Living in isolation as I do, the chances of picking up this over-hyped ‘flu infection are quite remote. If I do, then c’est la vie.
I’m not travelling, and don’t intend to.
Besides, no-one has invited us, as yet, to partake.
this pandemic stinks from day 1 from lack of chinese transparency, from bat soup to lab to now allegedly a natural occurence maybe , the WHO’s contradictory statements ,our governments refusal to shut the border till the horse had bolted following WHO advice , the stupid mask mandate , the useless lockdowns NOT following WHO advice , SAGE stuffed full of groupthink, communists and the perpetually miles off modelers.
I dont know what it all means but I do know something is very very wrong
I’ve had both jabs without side effects at all. I have a rubbish immune system so have given everyone a wide berth for months, ending up on a ventilator was not an option for me. I decided the few years I have left is worth the risk, and yes we have to die of something, but checking out fighting for breath under an oxygen mask was not the way I want to go !
Same here. My wife is on the medically vulnerable list and I have to say we were both very relieved when we got our second jabs three weeks ago and we are now getting back to something approaching normality.
One sign of a return to some sort of normality is that she is more relaxed about getting out the gate nowadays, before that we’d be everywhere!
The second jab made me feel dreadful, but she didn’t notice a thing! I thought it was a surfeit of Jack Daniels for my aches and pains, until I realised I’d finished the bottle well before…
Aaaah, sod it, we’re now feeling better, especially as Great Britain is still the greatest, and easily led the way – whichever that was! The US are suffering badly even after old mr biden trying to take the credit from what President Trump organised months ago!
Well, I’ve had my invite but at present am limited to choice of one vaccine. Reading around the subject and bearing in mind some health complications, I’m keen to sort those out instead. In time, there could be a group of half-a-dozen vaccines available in the UK and I would prefer to make an informed choice rather than blunder into a yellow card event.
After all, unlike footie, the one yellow card might see me sent off.
Unfortunately the over-hyped flu infection killed our neighbours at numbers 5 and 26, plus a friend round the corner.
And with 30 million vaccinations in the UK alone on top of three phases of clinical trials, I’d venture to suggest the testing is pretty robust.
And though the chance of infection may well be quite remote in the UK and defined other countries, it has not always been the case in the last 13 months.
And being of a certain age, any undiscovered long term effects are of minimal importance.
So on balance of about 98% to 2%, I’ll be taking my second jab later this month with enthusiasm.
Not least in case I ever have to go to hospital with another condition.
@Sluff 3 deaths, that’s real
Were the two neighbours known to you before ?
Deaths would not spread in average way across the community
you’d expect there to be lumps.
But since 1 in 500 of the UK population have died with Covid on the death certificate an average person would need to have 1,500 friends if 3 of them died of Covid.
Obviously less if your group is skewed towards the elderly.
And in an average year one would expect a friend or 2 to die of old age.
No, I’ve not taken the jab as yet.
I seem to have a reasonably decent immune system and I’ve never taken the flu jab either. I think if you’re in one the vulnerable groups it’s a good idea, but I’m not. And the prospect of giving this to kids is repellent…
Also, I’m very against all the excessive coercion that we’re seeing.
The BBC have loved this virus and promote it at every opportunity. I’m really quite depressed at how compliant, unquestioning and obedient the British people have become.
I used to believe we were different in this country, but we’re not.
What happened in North Korea, East Germany and the USSR could easily happen here.
Jeff, you make a good point, so apply the Law of Scrobs, and assume that the awful BBC’s posturing is in fact the opposite to normal rational thinking!
And join Senora O’Blene and me in a good glass of wine, for old times sake!

Other explanations are available, just not on the BBC.
“”No matter if they have five eyes or ten eyes, as soon as they dare to harm China’s sovereignty, security or development interests, they should be careful lest their eyes be poked blind.” — Zhao Lijian, the spokesman for China’s foreign minister, BBC, November 19, 2020.”
“The survival of the alliance (Five Eyes) in its current form, though, is under threat after Ms Ardern’s administration announced that it was making improved trade relations with Beijing its priority, rather than maintaining its support for Five Eyes.”
How fitting. Therein, lies the stark contrast between outright Communism/Totalitarianism and freedom to dictate a country’s ability to choose. Irrespective of the fact that NZ is clearly, at present, an ‘Apprentice’ totalitarian state, it can still make its own decisions.
Gary Lineker joined the 4 day Twitter to stop racism and hate

Not a great fan of Piers Morgan, but on certain issues has been ‘spot on’. However, in his various columns he has referred to Lineker with some choice names at times, conning the reader into believing there was enmity there. Then we read of contradictory evidence of their many evenings out together. As with Kuennsberg, simply more evidence of journalistic lies.
I’ve noticed that Laura K is now getting pretty rattled in her indecision, peculiar stances on just about everything, and is probably up against the wall where her under-managers are concerned!
Like Harrabin, she’s beginning to lose so much credibility, that her stuff is just ignored – even more, and while being paid a lot of money, is just not up to the job now.
The senior under-managers don’t seem to care much, presumably because they are under the same sort of cosh, but higher up the wages scale, and the result is a bit of a mish-mash of busted egos, lies and general apathy at everything the awful BBC is churning out these days!
I reckon Laura is for the back door soon – just not up to a ‘bbbc job’ any more – forgettable in fact.

There is lots of coverage about releasing the overseas travel restrictions. In places like France their authorities are making warm noises about admitting Brits for Summer Holidays. And apparently millions of us want some hot sun and sand.
But why on earth should the government be bending over so we can visit France? A country whose hateful government has been as anti-British as can be, determined to ‘punish’ us for Brexit and afterwards, with their arbitrary rules and the risk of getting stuck in Calais.
The best thing would be to boycott France, tell Macron to get stuffed, and spending our saved money from lockdown in the UK. If overseas holidays are essential then lets choose some friendly countries. And let our government oil those particular wheels.

I thought the ‘Task and Finish’ group of the Woke Brigade were going to pull this building down because of its links with slavery ?
Don’t you love it when the ‘serious’ media (like the BBC) put on their professional faces and voices, crunch some numbers and talk of “claims by conservatives the press is biased toward Democrats”, as if it were a matter of partisan dispute, when it’s screamingly obvious to anyone with half a brain that the press were hysterically anti-Trump and blatantly, brazenly pro-Biden.
We know they are ‘friends’ and Starmer finds Khan an ‘inspiration’.
Aah, isn’t that nice.
Out of interest do we know the process by which the postal votes for London Mayor in particular will be verified/checked/audited, and by whom?
No doubt there are failsafe procedures which will be rigorously observed.
Sure they have a failsafe. All counts are done on wooden floors with large gaps in the boards. If it is deemed, when counting, too many non Khan votes are appearing, the following. The observers are obstructed, distracted or asked to leave for security reasons (a la Biden). Non Khan votes are shoved through the floor and ‘late’ postal votes, remarkably all for Khan magically appear.
Everytime I say to people, start paying politicians a decent amount and stop them taking money from Saudi they say to me screw that they get paid too much anyway, and let Saudi pay them if they want to.
Well smile because this is the result, if you won’t pay them someone else will and you won’t like the consequences.

I reckon that’s out of date
I remember when this came up before, I posted that the Ellison foundation had closed down
Sept 2020
Feb 28th I wrote
Carrie’s family is a three generation chain of infidelity
Her mother was the Independent’s lawyer
Her father was the co-founder of the Independent and a Guardian journo, then BBC WS manager, then 22 years at the Economist
also heading Larry Ellison’s charity until it was recently closed
Her father’s father was a Labour MEP and Baron who had an affair
Her father’s mother was close to Asquith, though her family said he was not her father.
Carrie was near the top of an anti-whaling NGO.
Most of this was not mentioned in Radio4’s profile of her.
They mentioned the whaling NGO
but did not mention the infidelity.
Only said this “Her father met her mother at the Independent where he was the co-founder and she was the lawyer”
The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change website mentions the relationship in mixed tenses
“The long-standing partnership that TBI has with the Larry Ellison Foundation (LEF) enabled us to move fast and we look forward to helping more countries that need such systems to deploy them to help save lives.”
Not many details.
The cult with compulsory mass gang rapes as part of its immutable core beliefs does not appear to be involved.
Otherwise it would not be reported by the BBC.
—————————–
As a quick searxh would demonstrate
Sorry, there are no results for “racist muslims gang rape white children”.
Sorry, there are no results for “white children targets of Muslim gang rapists”.
Sorry, there are no results for “Labour party imported Muslim gang rapists”.
Millions more reports missing from the BBC about the world’s only belief system.
Try ‘Muslim terrorist’ and ‘far-right terrorist’
The results show the last time the BBC used the word ‘Muslim’ in relation to an actual attack was in 2014.
Coincidentally a search for ‘Obama ISIL’ shows the first results from 2014 as well (Obama used ISIL instead of ISIS to try and not alienate American Muslim’s).
I wonder if these Lefties around the world talk to each other to arrange joint strategies for all of this or the BBC look for suitable bandwagons to jump on as an excuse for the change of policy.

Not the beeb, but, Mrs Voter was watching Laura Norder on 5USA and there was an advert for Air BNB. From the cast it would appear that the BNB bit is Blacks N Browns. Perhaps they get their furniture from DFS?
And recent new adverts with inter-racial couples…
Zoopla who have previous form!Three couples featured couple one,white man with Indian woman,couple two black man with white woman and couple three white man and woman of retirement age.
There’s also a new company/website called Boomin or something like that and have gone straight in with the mixed race couple.
Ziffit an outfit similar to Music Magpie have a cartoon white man with black woman and black kid.
I thought we’d reached peak inter-racial relationships a while ago but they seem to just keep on coming! If only I knew so many such people in real life!
A few days ago, the race-baiters at the BBC ran with the inflammatory headline “Ohio shooting: Columbus police kill black teenage girl”.
The story drew inevitable comparisons to Floyd, and produced inevitable interviews with mum saying what a peaceful, loving girl she was, and inevitable race-baiters ‘demanding answers’ etc.
We now know that a more honest headline would have read:
“Heroic police protect a black girl from being stabbed by another black girl.”
Sargon of Akkad discusses the incident below, and among other things points out the insanity of BLM ending up siding with those committing knife crime (it’s just a teenage thing) and demanding the police shouldn’t intervene. (For once I’m tempted to agree – leave them to it.)
That’s the kind of absurdity extreme wokeism leads to.
PS. Needless to say, the moronic corpse in the White House, or rather his handlers, also weighed in on the story; and, needless to say, on the side of the attacker and against the police.
Via Posobiec A juror in the Derek Chauvin trial hid that he was a Black Lives Matter activist to convince the judge that he was “impartial.”
Juror #52, now identified as Brandon Mitchell, is also encouraging people to try to get on juries to “spark some change.”
The BBC say ‘The footage appears to show Ma’Khia Bryant lunging with a sharp object’. So only ‘appears’ and it might not be a knife.
Her mother is shown addressing the crowd but shamefully they do not repeat the outright racist lies she told.
And the Whitehouse linked the absolutely professional actions of the police officer to ‘systematic racism’. And the MSM – including the BBC – stay silent because the truth is inconvenient.
They disgust me.

This morning I followed the link to the piece Laura Kuensberg put on the BBC website which was a long article on why Boris is a liar. I am not saying I believe everything he says (or is careful to avoid saying) but as a piece of partisanship on a public broadcaster paid for by us (or most of us), it went at least as far as Emily Maitliss did with her soliloquy. I had thought Tim Davie had said this obvious bias would not be tolerated.
But as I read Laura’s piece, the bile and venom seemed more than usual. I didn’t understand why – until somebody here made reference to Matt Hancock standing up to Laura at a press briefing. When she asked about wallpaper, he told her the briefing was about covid and refused to answer. I was pleased to see he can stand firm.
Laura had thought she had a ‘gotcha’ question for Matt and he was obviously prepared and presumably she got into a sulk. It is all very well Laura calling Boris a liar but as her previous story about sleaze and James Dyson wasn’t truthful and she should stop throwing stones.

BBC learnt a lesson, or was it the other way round, that continuous vilification of a president/PM, using lies and false narratives, can bring a popular president down. Specially with mail in voting.
Boris Johnson did not support Pres Trump, and now he is facing the same Left strategy that the Left deployed on Pres Trump. But this time on him. The Left managed to get a deeply flawed and unpopular Biden into the WHH. The BBC hopes that they can do the same, and get the Left Labour in number 10.
And why not, such is the gullibility of the Android generation.

No they wont. And neither will India and rest of Asia. China is actually encouraging America to do something about AGW Climate Change.
One of the main reasons for Pres Trump to continue was that he would have stopped the AGW Climate Change agenda for another four years. Hopefully that would have put an end to it. But now our contribution will be used to fund the UN and its corrupt officials and dependents.
But here is Biden, chaining the USA and the West, to its destruction – self immolation on its funeral pier.
This will accelerate and bring about the complete domination of the world by China.

I would encourage readers to watch the short video clip below.
In 4 minutes Alan Jones touches on Trump; recent events in France and elsewhere; Islam; and bogus environmentalism (“this climate change stuff is a national economic suicide note: you cannot strengthen the defence of your country if you weaken its economy”).
The content is hard-hitting, precise, short, sharp and to the point.
But beyond that, savour the tone of voice: authoritative, forceful without being shrill, and urgent without being alarmist.
By contrast, it is a slap in the face of our pusillanimous, woke, cowardly and treacherous BBC, and should put them to shame if they had any.
It is the sort of opinion piece they would never air in a month of Sundays, and one more reason they must be defunded asap.
It shows what good broadcasting sounds like. Hopefully the upcoming GB News might have commentators like Alan Jones, though I’m not holding by breath.

What about Europe. Eastern Europe is immune and does not allow Muslims in. It has had bad experience of communism, and Ottoman Islamic colonialism.
Germany, because of its recent past, cannot fight back. The EU does not have the needed muscle to do so. So it will be France that will fight back. And in keeping with tradition, we will go to the help of France.
With Donald Trump in the USA, I hoped that the Islamic invasion of the West would be reversed. But with the Left in power in America, and wagging the Biden body, its not looking good.
We know that the Left and Islam are allies against Western civilisation. Islam for the last 1100 years for religious reasons, and the Left for doctrinal ones.

Suddenly the last line in red, the last decade shot high above the blue lines. I cannot get my mind how one high figure can depress the other 199 readings. In my day one rogue figure was considered an anomaly but now the whole world economy has to be destroyed on one set of figures. I might also add there was no sign of the Mediaeval warm period.

Oh! hang on though, he, “has received an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Cranfield University.” Well that’s all right then: he can speak with some authority on science topics. Or can he with the academic ‘gift’ of a doctorate?

Just before 0900 this morning there was a debate on Toady regarding the situation in Northern Ireland.

Well planned? – with seconds to go to reach 0900, The Bee lady asked a deeply academic question about whether NI will eventually be absorbed by Ireland. To answer that question needed many minutes.

This statement implies every claim was proven to be false. It simply cannot be not true. The usual trick of careful wording by the BBC is gradually getting closer and closer to outright lies as their confidence grows when they get away with it.

Second paragraph: ‘Almas barely has time for her religion. She is a single mother-of-three and is studying for a university degree.’ Well, no doubt there are some Muslim women in that situation, but it’s not exactly common or representative within that community, is it?
Later on we learn about ‘Julie Siddiqi, a women’s rights campaigner who wants to make British mosques more accessible for women’. Julie… from the Latin, a common name in Europe and the Anglophobe world but not really used in the Muslim and Arabic world. The intention of the BBC here is to imply that there are ‘English/British’ Muslims and yes, there are, but again it is not particularly representative.
However, when it comes to something that doesn’t fit the narrative the BBC are noticeably quiet. We read ‘Sometimes women will pray behind men in the same space. More often, mosques will have two separate rooms for each gender to pray in, with the men in the main prayer hall and the women in an alternative space.’ What! Two separate rooms for each gender to pray in? Two? How can that be, BBC? You’ve been busy telling our kids there are more than 100 genders. So where do all the trans-men, trans-women, non-binary, gender fluid, pansexual etc Muslims pray in the mosque? To it’s credit, Islam doesn’t subscribe to this biology-denying nonsense.
The BBC… there are more than a hundred genders. Except when it comes to the Gender Pay Gap (sic), Wimmin’s football and Islam. When it mysteriously reverts back to two.

“Julie converted to Islam in March 1995
Siddiqi is a well-known broadcaster and writer, and former Director of the Muslim Society of Great Britain.
Born and bred in Surrey, she is a white British convert.”
Th internet names her sons : Eesa, Musa
but the name of her husband seems secret.
The tradition in most Muslim countries is that since you stick your bum in the air to pray, it is not appropriate for men to be behind the women.
However in Indonesia wives often pray standing next to their husband, say in outdoor praying or at home.
BTW : Mary in Arabic called Marīam the mother of Isa (Jesus) is venerated in Islam. … She is the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran

The media gets very huffy when pols are evasive.
Given Sky Blonde sniggering and BBC blonde simply going full attack cow with their gotchas, hardly surprising. Why answer when the question is for heat rather than light?
In a democracy pols answer to the people, and the failure here is serious.
I long assessed MPs are not advocates or even representatives. They are stenographers and posties, with a team who copy pastes what you send having sat on it a while, gets them to sign it and then send on to wait months until copy pasting the instruction to tell you to sod off on a letter they sign back.
And if you persist they concoct a Cathy Newman to effect a flounce. Or future block.

Best policy. It hurts where it hurts most.
PM Boris can use the power he has if he wants or has the guts.
One way to shake up the BBC, is to use the time honoured tactic of “modernisation”. The “modernisation” tactic in this instance would be to use two primary reasons.
1. In these times of covid austerity, it is necessary to streamline the BBC to get more effective use of taxpayers money.
2. An information revolution is ongoing, where the public has access to a greater variety of information outlets. The BBC has to be modernised, its management structure, news and views, to reflect the greater variety in society, as well as information outlets.
Under these two guises, one can do virtually anything. The conservatives are the only ones who can do this and its in their interest to do so. In fact, for their very political survival and ours, as well as offering the public a choice of sorts, it is absolutely necessary.
Any opposition from BBC apparatchiks can be dismissed as Luddite, resistant to change, old fashioned, or whatever comes to mind.

‘Line of Duty finale lands record ratings’
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56945425
But as much as I scour the wet-panties incestuous article, I cannot find which ‘record’ it has broken.
I suspect it just means it was the most watched one of the series. Hardly ‘record ratings’.
And hardly surprising as it’s been plugged and advertised through the roof – just like Dr Who was when Jodie started.
Shame it has been universally criticised as rubbish. I personally cannot watch any BBC drama now. Seeing it at the start used to be a sign of something decent. Now it’s a sign of imminent agenda-programming and that someone black will be on your screen within 5 minutes (who will NOT be the villain, even though some racist whites will say he is until it is revealed it is a middle aged pale-and-stale).

Where do we all stand regarding vaccine?
I’ve chosen not to take it. I’m not anti-vax, I may take it in the future if I consider it to be safe enough.
It is however, concerning that the NHS yellow card reporting of side effects is quite difficult to find in full, I did manage, but it took some time. I would recommend a study of it if you haven’t taken it yet.
My initial thoughts before any research were that the same people who told me Biden won the US election fairly, the last UK election was going to be close, Trump bad, 3 weeks to flatten the curve, etc were quite insistent I take it. Naturally this set off the alarm bells and set me on a path to research thoroughly, and based on actual NHS/.gov data, and not some guy on twitter.

No “vaccine” for me. I am at an age, and with a condition, which I don’t want to risk jeopardising with an untested, unnecessary vaccine. Living in isolation as I do, the chances of picking up this over-hyped ‘flu infection are quite remote. If I do, then c’est la vie.
I’m not travelling, and don’t intend to.
Besides, no-one has invited us, as yet, to partake.

Well, I’ve had my invite but at present am limited to choice of one vaccine. Reading around the subject and bearing in mind some health complications, I’m keen to sort those out instead. In time, there could be a group of half-a-dozen vaccines available in the UK and I would prefer to make an informed choice rather than blunder into a yellow card event.
After all, unlike footie, the one yellow card might see me sent off.

Unfortunately the over-hyped flu infection killed our neighbours at numbers 5 and 26, plus a friend round the corner.
And with 30 million vaccinations in the UK alone on top of three phases of clinical trials, I’d venture to suggest the testing is pretty robust.
And though the chance of infection may well be quite remote in the UK and defined other countries, it has not always been the case in the last 13 months.
And being of a certain age, any undiscovered long term effects are of minimal importance.
So on balance of about 98% to 2%, I’ll be taking my second jab later this month with enthusiasm.
Not least in case I ever have to go to hospital with another condition.

@Sluff 3 deaths, that’s real
Were the two neighbours known to you before ?
Deaths would not spread in average way across the community
you’d expect there to be lumps.
But since 1 in 500 of the UK population have died with Covid on the death certificate an average person would need to have 1,500 friends if 3 of them died of Covid.
Obviously less if your group is skewed towards the elderly.
And in an average year one would expect a friend or 2 to die of old age.

No, I’ve not taken the jab as yet.
I seem to have a reasonably decent immune system and I’ve never taken the flu jab either. I think if you’re in one the vulnerable groups it’s a good idea, but I’m not. And the prospect of giving this to kids is repellent…
Also, I’m very against all the excessive coercion that we’re seeing.
The BBC have loved this virus and promote it at every opportunity. I’m really quite depressed at how compliant, unquestioning and obedient the British people have become.
I used to believe we were different in this country, but we’re not.

Like Harrabin, she’s beginning to lose so much credibility, that her stuff is just ignored – even more, and while being paid a lot of money, is just not up to the job now.
The senior under-managers don’t seem to care much, presumably because they are under the same sort of cosh, but higher up the wages scale, and the result is a bit of a mish-mash of busted egos, lies and general apathy at everything the awful BBC is churning out these days!

Not really biased BBC. But then again.
There is lots of coverage about releasing the overseas travel restrictions. In places like France their authorities are making warm noises about admitting Brits for Summer Holidays. And apparently millions of us want some hot sun and sand.
But why on earth should the government be bending over so we can visit France? A country whose hateful government has been as anti-British as can be, determined to ‘punish’ us for Brexit and afterwards, with their arbitrary rules and the risk of getting stuck in Calais.
The best thing would be to boycott France, tell Macron to get stuffed, and spending our saved money from lockdown in the UK. If overseas holidays are essential then lets choose some friendly countries. And let our government oil those particular wheels.

I thought we’d reached peak inter-racial relationships a while ago but they seem to just keep on coming! If only I knew so many such people in real life!

A few days ago, the race-baiters at the BBC ran with the inflammatory headline “Ohio shooting: Columbus police kill black teenage girl”.
The story drew inevitable comparisons to Floyd, and produced inevitable interviews with mum saying what a peaceful, loving girl she was, and inevitable race-baiters ‘demanding answers’ etc.
We now know that a more honest headline would have read:
“Heroic police protect a black girl from being stabbed by another black girl.”
Sargon of Akkad discusses the incident below, and among other things points out the insanity of BLM ending up siding with those committing knife crime (it’s just a teenage thing) and demanding the police shouldn’t intervene. (For once I’m tempted to agree – leave them to it.)
That’s the kind of absurdity extreme wokeism leads to.

PS. Needless to say, the moronic corpse in the White House, or rather his handlers, also weighed in on the story; and, needless to say, on the side of the attacker and against the police.

A juror in the Derek Chauvin trial hid that he was a Black Lives Matter activist to convince the judge that he was “impartial.”
Juror #52, now identified as Brandon Mitchell, is also encouraging people to try to get on juries to “spark some change.”
During jury selection, Mitchell claimed that he had very little knowledge of the case. However, Mitchell was photographed last August wearing a shirt that read “Get your knee off our necks” and “BLM.”

I was expecting a catch like someone saying he never made it onto the final voting jury, but I don’t see that.

The BBC say ‘The footage appears to show Ma’Khia Bryant lunging with a sharp object’. So only ‘appears’ and it might not be a knife.
Her mother is shown addressing the crowd but shamefully they do not repeat the outright racist lies she told.
And the Whitehouse linked the absolutely professional actions of the police officer to ‘systematic racism’. And the MSM – including the BBC – stay silent because the truth is inconvenient.
They disgust me.

..Strange cos we have never being forced to wear masks in ALL public spaces in the UK only INDOOR, like inside buildings or public transport.

Masks do not reduce the spread of Covid-19 the virus is still able to penertrate through the mask in any event, making the whole issue scientifically unsupported. Masks are being used as just another fear motive, that the overly compliant public fall over themselves to continue to comply aided by the Mischievous Media and the wretched social media eager for the subjugation to continue.

It’s been established here that snooker is inherently racist, but in the absence of anything else I’m watching the final on Beeb2. Call me paranoid, but it seems that the only two BAMEs in the room are sitting in the front row adjacent to the trophy. If it’s good enough for the Antiques Roadshow…
And, before the nurses come and steal my Lucozade again, did anyone see Portillo at the G F Watts Gallery in his Railway Journeys programme? I may be wrong but two background portraits of nudes had their boobs blurred!
FFS are we getting ‘nipple-phobia’ like the USA now?

Met Office: UK has seen coldest April since 1922 https://thegwpf.com/uk-coldest-april-since-1922/

I wonder if April was also the least windy month for ‘X‘ amount of years, but then again I doubt they would spout it out as it wouldn’t do the green agenda any good
Quote BBC news 6 October 2020. “Offshore wind farms will generate enough electricity to power every home in the UK within a decade, Boris Johnson has pledged.”
Any way
Last month’s daily production graph for power..
Wind power blue, note lack of it…..

I wish the chart didn’t that nonsense bit at the top
with a date of 20th of May and a lot of zero readings
I guess that’s what the end date was set to
so of course the readings are so far zero.
I almost posted a fuel graph for last few days ..no wind , loads of gas
and coal brought into use
How the heck are going to replace all that Orange with that piddly bit of blue ?

Expect an announcement from the BBC that this was actually the hottest April of 2021 ever.
