The Far Left Anti British Biased BBC is getting its’ narrative back on track . They will make sure the election results are forgotten as soon as possible – apart from the Scottish ones. So will it be a return the favourite of the BBC – Westminster trivia – which the elections proved to have no affect – or go to the BBC comfort zone of rubbishing the UK as usual?

No I actually listened
The girlfriend came out as absolutely amazing from barmaid to decorating course to suddenly switching to a Masters in law.
The cops and the the system came across as incompetent
..but there is an elephant in the room
The shot guy was sitting in a stolen car being a getaway driver at the time he was shot.
Yes it was a screwup,cos the intelligence given to the firearms officer falsely said the driver was armed
And that’s the second point.
The firearms officer is not some street thug
it’s some guy whose spent his career doing the hard job of trying to deal with armed criminals
.. he could have taken an easier option in life but didn’t.

The girlfriend changed her surname to remember the shot boyfriend so now she’s Gail Hadfield Grainger
She’s not working as a lawyer but now runs a Legal Consultancy,
She put up a celebration tweet at the Cauvin verdict
One question is, they’d already been through one trial together, where the boyfriend and she was found innocent, but surely she knew he was involved in some crime, maybe she was too ?
That’s what the cops thought.
Seems the cops were frustrated about going by the book, so try to falsely convict on one crime , cos they were absolutely certain perps had committed another crime but the conviction process was being thwarted.
Here’s the BBC prog maker’s tweet

“The firearms officer is not some street thug”
In my experience plod gun cops are a *very* mixed bag.
Some proper clowns are on the payroll – PC Ian Terry paid for that in Manchester.
as did Keith Tilbury in Thames Valley.
Several years ago I had an armed vehicle stop at the end of my street involving 5 or 6 armed officers – it was an utterly insane place to stop a vehicle (loads of very close hard cover and escape routes) – I saw several officers with sub machine guns who didn’t seem to know which was the business end and had (extremely) ill fitted ballistic head protection and flapping body protection = a Police Academy style shambles.
There absolutely *are* responsible, committed people doing a hard job – but it’s all too easy to believe that there are also incompetent, excitable clowns escaping the consequences of their actions and poisonous or plain idiot bigwigs who want to “maintain public confidence”

The Welsh Senedd confirmed its election result on Saturday. How many seats make up the parliament?
Sadiq Khan has been named Mayor of London for a second time. But what is the name of the YouTuber who also stood in the London mayoral election?
The fall-out is still being felt from the Hartlepool by-election, won by Conservative candidate Jill Mortimer – how big was her majority? (we will let you answer to the nearest thousand…)
Tip…. Question 5 (The last one) is the most significant….
Grasping at straws or what? The Harlepool one is the only one with the previso of “fall-out”

Someone mentioned on the last thread that the bBbc have ignored the fact that sixth-formers in Scotland and Wales being given the vote may have affected their election results.
I don’t know whether giving them the vote increased turnout there or not but just look at some of the figures, from the bBbc, for voter turnout in the Mayoral elections in England. The Mayoral elections that the bBbc are granting so much gleeful coverage to simply because Labour have done well.

The Tooting Tosser, Little Man Khant, will perch atop his London midden like a little brown banty cock crowing about how popular he is and about the size of his mandate. 59% of Londonistan’s registered voters couldn’t even be arsed voting nevermind voting for him. He may have received 55%/ 1.2 million votes but in reality he was re-elected as Mayor of London with the support of around 22% of the 6.1 million eligible voters.
41% turnout. The Labour strongholds of Liverpool and Salford, supposed pits of political passion, 30% and 28% voter turnout respectively. Bambi Burnham, the Manchester Messiah, the saviour-in-waiting of the Labour movement, is apparently so popular and full of charisma that only 36% of those who could vote in his election race could be bothered to. Less than 25% of those eligible voted for him, 470 thousand from just over 2 million.
I wonder when the bBbc are going to notice the obvious and growing apathy shown towards our politicians by people right across the country and ask why?
While they’re at it they might discover why those same people don’t give a shit about the bBbc anymore either.

BTW, I anybody following Alexander Mercouris (half the Duran team)? For years that team has provided good info on World affairs. He declared he is, “British” but recently he is clearly slipping toward being a voice on behalf of Communism and their supporters. Shame, but I would be interested in understanding his transformation from being British to calling that country’s efforts, “Mickey Mouse” and lauding Russia and China.

The Duran is an excellent site, and both Alex and Alexander are pretty switched on (although Mercouris does say “absolutely” rather a lot..). Both, I believe are Greek. Their individual channels are good, too.
Mercouris, is very pro-Russia – and rightly so, in my opinion. He is also of the opinion that the Chinese, despite their sinister intentions, have their heads on the right way around, unlike much of the West – especially the USA, UK and the EU, who could no longer organise a piss-up in a brewery – Mercouris is aware of that, and says so.

Labour reshuffle: Anneliese Dodds out in Starmer’s post-election reshuffle
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-57050659
Anneliese Dodds (shadow chancellor) will now become the Labour Party’s chair – replacing deputy leader Angela Rayner, who Sir Keir fired from the role on Saturday.
Ms Rayner will instead replace Rachel Reeves in shadowing Michael Gove at the Cabinet Office, as Ms Reeves is promoted to the shadow chancellor role.
The Labour leader said he had faith in his “refreshed and renewed team”.
WTF?. He just moved 3 women around. How is that ‘refreshed and renewed’ ??.
This is what Wiki tells us about the new ‘shadow chancellor’:
‘Reeves’ parliamentary credit card was stopped at the start of 2015, owing to a debt of £4,033.63, which she subsequently repaid. In 2018, she claimed £188,686 in expenses, of which £149,514 was in staffing costs and £22,089 in office costs, £30,422 more than the average parliamentary claim of £158,264.’
What a Grade-A Turkey ‘Sir Kier’ (as he must always be addressed on the BBC now to promote respect) has turned out to be.

Labour reshuffle after turbulent election results
After a turbulent few days for Labour following the elections, the reshuffle has finally happened. The party lost its long-held Hartlepool parliamentary seat to the Conservatives and Labour is no longer in control of eight councils. They had faired better in mayoral races, securing the positions in many regions. But the overall poor performance has spurred changes to leader Sir Keir Starmer’s top team.
Shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds was sacked in the shake-up and will become the Labour Party’s chairwoman – replacing deputy leader Angela Rayner, who was fired from the role over the weekend. She will shadow Michael Gove at the Cabinet Office, taking over from Rachel Reeves who becomes the new shadow chancellor. Following the announcement, Sir Keir said the new shadow cabinet was the right one to take on the challenge, adding he had faith in his “refreshed and renewed team”. These last few days have been an important political test for the Labour leader, says our political editor Laura Kuenssberg. You can read more on her analysis further down.
Messy reshuffle knocks Sir Keir Starmer’s authority
Was it worth it? Reshuffles are moments when leaders have a chance to assert their authority – to show they are in charge. Even the most ardent political obsessive would acknowledge (probably) that opposition reshuffles are not necessarily noticed by the public.
But they matter to the mood and atmosphere of parties and Parliament. And for a party to win favour with voters over time, it needs to show the public trusted and favourite faces, to give the impression of an organisation ready for government – a group of people who we can all imagine in charge. Sir Keir Starmer’s first reshuffle, however, has been a very messy affair.

Why was it good for Khan in London, reduced vote, Conservatives increased vote.

I think the liberal elite Woke wankers know that their attempts to convert the non believers isn’t going too well. Despite a decade of filling our screens and airwaves with Woke propaganda the voters in over half the country are rejecting Labour and its anti British values. So rather than report this they continue to pretend that all is well and that Labour is doing OK. After all they don’t want to reveal that their brainwashing can and has been easily resisted by millions of ex Labour voters.

Indeed Sluff, I was never a supporter of Brown, however in what he was saying today made more sense than many have so far taken the trouble to say. It is important as Brown points out that the Scots are made fully aware by Sturgeon of what it will mean to Scotland to become an independent country from the Union. A country with only 5.1 million people and I don’t at present think the Scots fully appreciate such a circumstance. My wife is a Scot and a proud one, however is furious to think that the likes of a marxist/communist influence (SNP) could drag Scotland away from the present United Kingdom. Her father and his brothers fought in the thick of the second world war, but they fought alongside men and women from all four nations, the fought for the United Kingdom.

Sorry if this was flagged yesterday, if it was I missed it. Yet more propaganda claiming London used to be full of blacks before windrush.
” Although it’s commonly thought that black immigrants mostly arrived in Britain after the war, you could have met people from Africa in London streets in Shakespeare’s day.”
Yet again trying to peddle the completely false narrative of blacks being common in the UK before windrush. Check out the excellent ‘ history debunked’ YouTube channel to see the truth about this falsehood.

I still continue to stare at times, irrespective of the BBC’s supposed overwhelming numbers of Black coloured skinned people, entering now in every conceivable corner of Britain and British life so shown through all advertising, TV, and films.

The secondary school my daughters attend has about 1400 pupils. There are less than 10 black kids, including those who are mixed race, across the entire school and probably less than 30 in total who might be considered non-white if you include Chinese and a few who have a Filipino parent. There are only 3 that I know of who are obviously Muslim. My eldest daughter’s year, nearly 200 pupils, has no non-white children in it at all.
Growing up the only blacks I knew of were the mixed-race children of American GIs or British soldiers, their fathers long gone. The only Asians were doctors or Chinese restaurant owners. This remained the same from the 70s right through to about 10 years ago and even now the presence of blacks in NI is low, 0.2% of the population in 2011, less than 4000 people. It will be higher now, but most will be mixed-race. There are no black communities.
There are vast swathes of Britain like here, where the presence of someone black still draws a second look, with many of those the children of local girls returning home from living and working in one of the mainland Britain’s urban areas either pregnant or with a kid in tow.

The ‘i’ newspaper this morning takes the notion of uncalled for delivery to its readers of a non-requested offering to quite some extreme: ‘TV’s muslim girl punk band‘ – neither muslim, non-muslim nor agnostic, I’d venture, was really calling out for a diversity makeover of the Sex Pistols or of The Damned… Jenny Ramadan and Sadiq Vicious? Captain Madrassa and the Ramadamned?
Have a go at the puns yourselves… I’ll punt The Burka Eye-Slits, The Shiites (obviously) Adnan and the Ants… Kapow Wow Wow… but I’ll leave the retro vintage boom box gags there for now.
The Guardian isn’t your natural go to source for sports reporting, however, their frontpage highlights the minority interest (Barclays Bank sponsored) FA Women’s Superleague. Just the other week we didn’t approve big corporates imposing made up new superleagues onto our traditional game.
‘Prime Minister will confirm a return to indoor socialising and dining from 17 May‘ (Telegraph) – how on earth did we ever get to the point where we allowed government to legislate such things? What’s to stop future governments enacting such extreme measures in response to future real or supposed crises?
We’re looking at Chinese Communist health policies for a Chinese Communist future perhaps?
The Telegraph appropriately carries a report titled: ‘The sweet sound of leather on bamboo‘ – seems the dubiously funded Cambridge University – likely in a research counter blow to Oxford’s jab successes – has been working on an upgrade to our traditional cricket bats. How might this new demand for bamboo impact the Panda population?
The FT will likely run the data.
The FT includes a quaint little feature it terms Datawatch. Seems the globalist pink paper this morning is fretting about the practicality of electric cars and all those used batteries possibly pilling up in that plastic bin receptacle in our supermarket lobbies: ‘Please recycle. Projected quantity of spent lithium-ion batteries. The soaring number of used batteries due to a projected surge in demand for electric vehicles and energy storage will present a massive need for recycling as lithium and mineral supply chains become strained‘ – sounds as though the common man may end up cycling rather than re-cycling in the brave new world of the battery vehicle.
To put that into futuristic terms we can all understand, consider a situation where Captain Kirk’s fabulous USS Enterprise was just a pile of immovable junk without its dilithium crystals and unfortunately the Klingons have already bought up all the mineral rights in the galaxy.

New Zealand: At least four injured in supermarket stabbing
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-57053265
Paragraph 4 mentions suggests “there was no indication it was a domestic terror event”.
Paragraph 5 mentions the 2019 “white supremacist” attack.
Classic BBC biased reporting. Ignore the possible inconvient truth of a Islamic attack and instead mention an older white supremacist attack instead. This is text book BBC of trying to control the narrative rather than report the news.
Edit: In the twitter link the BBC included in the article, someone has tweeted “Maybe the tools we have in our society for mental health does not work.”. MSM brainwashing works on some people then.

Whoever did it, random stabbing in a supermarket is a different ball game to as pre-planned shooting against a specific target. You don’t get more up-close and personal or bloody than that : you can see into their eyes as your knife sinks in. It takes real hate.
It’s classic BBC word association to put far-right/white supremacists into any such article so the reader will subconsciously put the blame on them. All part of their drip-drip-drip social programming.
We will find out who did it soon – but at the moment it has the classic signs of a Muslim attack. They know for sure who the attacker is and as they have arrested him, no need to keep the identity secret. If he is white, we are usually told immediately – even when they are only suspects.
It’s the dishonesty the Left think their agenda makes OK. Stalin thought similarly.

You have to be quick and take a screen shot of that image. It does show a tall man in cuffs being led away by police and his skin colour is a few shades darker than the 2 coppers holding him.
I wouldn’t say he is black… more middle eastern skin colour – or “Asian” as the BBC like to call them.

A lovely propaganda piece by James Naughtie – who is still alive – chatting to kidults who want Scotland to be independent so that it can make its own decisions – like giving decision making to the ReichEU.
Being a wealthy retired lefty – the BBC keeps digging Naughtie up to deliver the narrative – for his production company fee of course.
The realisation that the SNP failed to get enough votes for a referendum again is not sinking in yet . Maybe the real strength on the SNP is in campaigning for a Referendum as opposed to winning one .
I haven’t seen a voting record for individual vote for independence as opposed to parties against .
I think the total number of votes against was more than for independence – but as an Englishman – I don’t actually care …
It’s a population the size of about 25 London boroughs ….

It has yet to be proven that the majority of adult Scots want independence. Remember there are 16 year olds and foreigners voting. My NZer friend had a vote in Scotland at the time of the election because he was on a temporary work project in Inverness for god’s sake. For a massive constitutional change like that it should be at least a 60% majority for change. It was the clown David Cameron who let himself get fooled into accepting every stupid condition that the Nats put forward for the referendum, that brought about this situation.
Anyway Foscari, to answer your question, I for one would not be happy to see Scotland secede from the Union. It would not be good for England, for Britain or for the world. You don’t strengthen the centre by meekly giving up extremities.
The Union must be fought for. The rest of Britain owes it to the loyal Scots who comprise at least half of the population. If they can stay loyal under the pressures they’re under then it us up to the rest of us to stoutly support them.

While I have been known to blast the Scots and the Welsh on certain subjects, which are always rugby associated, I feel a bit sad that some of their people want to dislike the English for whatever reason! If it’s historical, get over it, if not, then presumably it’s political. The BBC enjoy stirring up hatred where it’s totally uneccessary, but that’s the nature of a leftie crowd, making up stories where none exist.
I had four great years working for a Scottish company. They were very hard task-masters, took no prisoners with their clients, and paid me extremely well – because I wanted to be like them as good engineers. Their knowledge of their business was outstanding, and I lerned a lot from them! I never heard any anti-English sentiments of the type which the BBC try to rustle up.
As for Wales; I spent several years there in my younger years, and was accepted immediately, made lots of friends, and I have always preserved a passion for the Welsh traditions.
If broadcasters like the BBC keep on banging our three nations together to see what plops out, it’s a very short-sighted observation, as I’d much rather be chums with all the Welsh and Scots. They are a divisive bunch there in W1AA, trying to make up a ‘story’ where none exists, or making matters worse, when conciliation is yearned for by normal citizens.
Like the BBC’s fantasy about a coffee coloured nation, I never really thought about any of these issues until they started banging on and stirring up trouble, if not by fake reporting then by smug and slimy innuendo to try and prove me to be a ‘racist’. I’m not.
The BBC is turning more and more into a super-smug, elitist, unpleasant bunch of racial protagonists, and are really pissing me off far too much these days.

If you needed any more evidence of the Globalist’s power grab this article in the Guardian is revealing.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/may/10/nurses-receive-activist-training-to-mobilise-for-strike-action
The salient info is…
“Up to 25,000 nurses are training to become activists to help Britain’s nursing union force Boris Johnson to improve his “pitiful” 1% NHS pay offer.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) hopes the move will help it achieve a turnout of 50% in the strike ballot it has pledged to call if ministers continue to resist calls for a bigger increase.
It has enlisted a renowned expert in healthcare campaigning to teach 25,000 frontline NHS nurses how to become effective advocates. Jane McAlevey has helped nurses in the United States to unionise and win better terms and conditions for 25 years.”
The key point being that Jane McAlevy is described as a senior policy fellow at the University of California’s centre for labour research and education.
So why is a foreign entity being encouraged by the RCN to meddle in the affairs of a UK publicly funded nationalised institution?
This could be described as as an attack on UK democracy and collusion with foreign hostile sabotage.
I fully expect the BBC to give it’s wholehearted support

Covid is almost over and the BBC is returning to normal judging by the ‘Most Read’ articles.
Usually the top ten Most Read are all covid related but right now there is:
1x Anti Tory article
3x covid articles
1x stranded whale article
5x social justice articles about mental health, money etc
Once the 3 covid articles get replaced with articles about LGBT, BLM or Extinction Rebillion then the UK has officially returned to normal.

THEFT AT THE BBC!!
Actually, it is a rather slow news day, and this was all I could find:
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1434113/bbc-news-theft-electrical-devices-stolen-latest-figures-bbc-tv-licence-fee-defund-bbc
“… Peter Jones, lead author of the TV Licensing Blog, made the FOI request, which found 58 phones, 52 laptops, 20 pieces of camera equipment and one computer had been stolen from the BBC between January 2018 and May 2021.
In total 132 items were stolen within the three year period, with the value of all items totaling £101,836.
This amounts to the sum of more than 640 annual TV licences.”
Peter Jones continues: “This is further evidence, as if any were needed, of the BBC’s systemic inability to protect the financial interests of the TV licence fee payer.
“There really never has been a better time for people to cancel their BBC TV licences and adopt one of the many legal alternative methods of viewing.””
I suppose £100,000+ doesn’t mean much to someone who earns 10 times that … when oh when will the TV licence be removed?

I note that Boris is now under investigation for his New Year holiday as well as his wall paper. The head of the Parliamentary Standards Commission , a woman called Stone, has announced. It seems remarkably like the never ending attempts in the US by the Democrats and the MSM , plus sections of the Republican Party , to have President Trump removed. If one attempt fails just dream up another ‘scandal ‘ and talk about it endlessly . Keep this up year after year. Hopefully the British public will ignore the holiday in the same way as they did the wall paper and with each failed ‘scandal’ their trust in the MSM will sink further.
The sad thing is this woman , who is an ex social worker !? , was appointed in 2018 when the Tories , well useless May, were in power. When will the Tories learn that when you achieve power you must try and get rid of the left from your nstitutions and wherever possible appoint someone from the right to any position which becomes vacant.

We are already way past the initial proposals of the UN report:
“Scenario I, which is the medium variant of the 1998 United Nations projections, assumes a total of 1.2 million net migrants between 1995 and 2050. From 1995 to 2025, 40,000 persons would enter Britain annually and none after 2025.”

Despite hours of BBC coverage, even Krankie knows that with a 50/50 split the chances of a definitive ‘yes’ vote for independence are remote. Unfortunately, credit where it’s due, she is canny enough to know and banking on the fact that Boris and the Establishment will be prepared to throw truly vile amounts of money over Hadrian’s Wall in increasingly desperate attempts to fend off what will continue to be puffed as the inevitable.
And if that inevitable becomes reality, the EU will do all in its power to ensure Scotland flourishes at England’s expense.
So whichever way the haggis bounces, we lose out – unless there is a UK-wide referendum on devolution, as there should have been when Blair hatched his EU-sponsored plan.
Pray for the equally inevitable euro collapse, or civil war in Spain over Catalonia. Or in France as taff rightly observes.
