    I got the popcorn out to watch a PM from the past getting pulled over the coals by a series of sneering MPs . I bet a lot of politicians of all types were watching this to learn how not to get caught feathering their nests – which I submit is a primary drive to become a politician in the first place .

    The BBC is smelling blood with Mr Cameron and must be desperate to link his drive for money to the current government .
    The likes of Major and Blair must be sitting – and worrying a bit in case their private arrangements are looked at in detail …

    Chrissy Teigen sorry for bullying Courtney Stodden on Twitter
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-57098705

    A pointless read about some unknown (to me) celebrity who once slagged off another unknown (to me) celebrity.

    The caption for the last photo says, “Stodden rose to fame aged 16, when they married the actor Doug Hutchison”. Why is the BBC trying to write this with neutral gender when a quote from Stodden refers to herself as ‘she?

    Developments from the Political show trial of Derek Chauvin, the judge in the case has decided there are aggravating factors in the case which will allow him to triple the term he hands down to Chauvin. What could have been a 10 year sentence although more likely a 12.5 year one will now be a possible 40 year sentence which will be more like 30 years as the maximum possible without an automatic appeal for it being too harsh.

    Meanwhile the lawyers for Tau Thao have submitted court papers requesting a MOTION FOR SANCTIONS FOR PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT STEMMING FROM WITNESS COERCION

    The witness in question was the coronor who was coerced into changing his testimony by Minnesota state prosecutors.

    Dr Baker stated the preliminary findings “revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation”

    Dr. Mitchell called Dr. “Baker first to let him know that he was going to be critical of Baker’s findings”. Id. “In this conversation, Mitchell said, you don’t want to be the medical examiner who tells everyone they didn’t see what they saw. You don’t want to be the smartestperson in the room and be wrong.Said there was a way to articulate the cause and manner of death that ensures you are telling the truth about what you are observing and via all of the investigation. Mitchell said neck compression has to be in the diagnosis.”

    Dr. Mitchell has set the stage that he will threaten the trade and professional reputation of any physician who suggests that Mr. Floyd’s death could be labeled as “undetermined”. See Exhibit 5 (stating that an opinionthat Mr. Floyd’s death was undetermined “is outside the standard practice and conventions…” and “[t]his stated opinion raises significant concerns for his previous practice and management”.). Dr. Mitchell also penned that “If forensic pathologists can offer such baseless opinions without penalty, then the entire criminal justice system is at risk”.

    There is obviously much much more and there are claims that evidence which has been known of and referred to has not been made available to the defence.

    It’s explosive stuff because if as it appears the state has pressured an expert witness into saying something which they knew to be wrong the entire US justice system is at risk and the convicion of Chauvin wrong, and politically motivated.

    Nice summary from a sneering Martine airhead on BBC news about mr Cameron using a private jet to go to his third home Near Newquay .
    Well I hope Mr Cameron has more than 3 homes – after all his inept treatment of Brexit helped get us out of the ReichEU .

      For a correspondent who is supposed to report on the USA, this pompous left wing oaf might just once try and actually understand the USA. Then he might appreciate why people voted for Trump. If he were any sort of journalist, he would realise that sneering at people he does not like does not constitute journalism. But what does he care? The BBC salary gets paid every month.

It looks like another case of brown-skinned ‘Asians’ causing trouble to defend one of their own, irrespective of the rights and wrongs of the case; St Urgeon was standing ready to offer assistance!

    Stewgreen above has noticed lots of BAME coverage by the BBC today.

    But strangely sometimes the BBC manages to have no coverage at all.

    No, not another northern town paedo scandal.

    The first item on BBC 1 6 pm TV news was the high level of Indian variant covid in Bolton and Blackburn.

    Mmm. Indian. Bolton. Blackburn. What could the link possibly be?
    Strangely the BBC have no idea at all, other than the the case rates are very high in the under 25s!!!!! FFS.

    The coverage shows an enormous number of white people with almost no BAME at all.

    Isn’t that amazing?
    Or alternatively an utter travesty of the glaringly obvious reality from the biased BBC, for whom, as we well know, BAME can do no wrong.

    Disgusting, fake news.

      11am R4 The 2001 summer of race riots in northern England
      … The prog said the National Front had been in the Oldham area a few week before.
      but the prog didn’t say why.
      It then said that had triggered “Indian”* youths to start gathering milk bottles to make petrol bombs
      * They said Indian, but meant Muslim , cos that is the word the prog sometimes used.

      The prog said that day a pregnant Muslim woman had racist words shouted at her
      and that triggered the youths into the action of petrol bombing pubs.

        I can tell you catagorically none of that is true. There had been some simmering tension for a while, but then the SWP arrived and began agitating big time.
        The Spark came when some pregnant Pakistani Womans kids stole a White womans kids bike, they went round with some family to get it back. It was in the hall when they called round but she wouldn’t give it back and called the Police, oh and a few Paki relations for support. One of the white kids threw a brick through the window.

        The Police arrested the group and on determining who it was who threw the brick released the others down the road.

        The Paki relatives have run after the Police van saw this, put two & two together and made five, and assumed all had been released by a racially biased Police force. They went back to the community and the riots spread from there.

        The rest is history.

      Details for the Anita Rani show

      Darryl, an author whose family came to the UK as part of the post-war wave of migration from former British colonies.
      Darryl was born in Kenya to Goan parents, who had moved from India to East Africa as citizens of the British Empire.
      But when Kenya declared independence from Britain in 1963, families like Darryl’s came under increased discrimination from the government.
      His parents made the difficult decision to move yet again, this time to Britain
      but the welcome was not warm

            The line reads that the “parents” moved to East Africa “as citizens of the British Empire”. So Garry’s question is quite reasonable.
            It could be that they left Goa before Indian independence and became British that way. Or it could be something to do with the fact that many Goans used to work on the P&0 liners.
            Sorry don’t know the real answer.

    While the racist BBC uncritically embrace Critical Race Theory (CRT) and slavishly bend the knee to its proponents, this angry black mother ain’t having none of it.

    “CRT is not an honest dialogue, it is a tactic used by Hitler and the KKK… it is racist… abusive… discriminates against one’s colour… political advertisement to divide our children and belittle them… with racist theories…”

    And that’s just the first 30 seconds!

    This is the same CRT that was rightly banned by Trump and stupidly re-introduced by mush-brained Biden and his leftist, virtue signalling puppet masters.

    The clip is from, once again, Sky News Aus, and is the sort of thing the BBC would never show. Let’s hope the forthcoming GB News has more courage.

    To celebrate the holy month of Ramadan, here is a list (probably incomplete) of islamic terror attacks in the last 30 days.

    Total: 207 Islamic attacks in 23 countries, in which 1055 people were killed and 1707 injured.

    Celebrate THAT, BBC.

    PS. If you find the list annoyingly long, please refer any complaints to al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, Indonesian Mujahedeen Council, Taliban, Sipah Sahaba, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Hizbul Mujahideen or any of the dozens of other groups responsible. I’m sure they will be sympathetic to your inconvenience, as will the families of the dead and mutilated victims.

          Don’t forget : it takes 2 sides to have a war.
          They know they cannot do anything about the Muslim threat. It’s based on deep-rooted psychology and brain washing. It’s here to stay.
          Their only option to stop the conflict escalating is to a) suppress reporting of what they do and b) suppress any reaction to what they do. At all costs. That’s what we are seeing here.
          Great if you’re the government. Not so great for the actual population who suffer from all the laws they make so they can silence you. Free speech is gone.
          Just ask Tommy Robinson.

    So the county court injunction for ‘defamation’ which landed Boris with a £535 bill was taken out by ‘an eccentric loner’ (vegan nutter) (allegedly) who has previously filed similar complaints against Marks & Spencer, public institutions and other such august bodies. She also copied in the Queen on several of her cases.
    Any basic research might have uncovered the sad old biddy’s track record but no doubt Hislop and his Private Eye team preferred to snigger with pride at their discovery before, naturally, the BBC picked up on the story.
    Looks like they’ll have to re-write the HIGNFY script or the old girl will slap a hefty one on.

    Not the BBC – but I was looking for more details of the corrupt paki plod and his gang in my local paper – they all ‘live ‘ in east London .
    Anyway – I found another vibrant story which seemed to minor for the National papers –

    STARTS ‘A rapist who targeted and attacked five lone women over an 11-day period has been found guilty of his crimes.

    Abdallah Baballah carried out the attacks in July 2019, preying on woman who were making their way home during the early hours of the morning.ENDS

    Obviously there are more details of these rapes in the article – but it shows how stuff which would have been treated very prominently once – barely get reported now ….

    OMG BBCnews has showed great Boris Derangement Syndrome over the County court debt judgement against Boris.
    .. They got this too good to be true story, that there was a proper defamation court judgement against Boris and they ran with it,
    … pausing just a few micro-seconds to say ‘well it might be prank or something’,
    … but their confirmation-bias is so strong, to them any bad story about Bris, just has to be true so they quickly went charging on ..banging on about bailiffs etc.

        @Thoughtful no it doesn’t
        The online info is not his real legal name
        nor is it his real address, cos he lives at 11 Downing Street
        With a little imagination is is possible to get a court order sent to someone’s real address and for them not to notice
        (I scrubbed the how to .. in case some nutter implements it)

        Anyway we know the civil servants are often malicious, so might play games even if it did get through.

    The Border Farce/Police try to detain two Indians in Glasgow. A local mob, mainly it appears idealistic students, is formed and the authorities back off and release them.

    The media interview one of the men. He speaks broken English, then reverts to Punjabi.

    But it turns out he has been in the UK for TEN years.

    Would anyone like to offer a public apology to taxpayers for this typical appalling ineptitude of the government for protecting our borders and taxpayers.

    The Sun : BEEB BLASTED Sir James Dyson blasts BBC for ‘shamefully twisting’ coverage of texts with Boris Johnson

    BEEB bosses were last night blasted for “shamefully twisting” their coverage of the PM’s texts with Sir James Dyson to “suit their political narrative”.
    The multi-millionaire lashed out after the BBC were forced to issue a grovelling apology to him last night for wrongly calling him a “prominent Conservative supporter”.
    The corporation quietly put out a correction and clarification accepting that the businessman is not in fact a Boris backer.
    It came after the Beeb published a string of text messages….

      … looking for the apology, I find it buried in ‘Corrections and Clarifications’ where nobody will see it.
      Journalists who balatantly lie like this should be sacked from an ‘impartial and unbiased’ publically funded organisation such as the BBC.
      They disgust me.
      Boris will not do anything. His only concern is what happens to Boris when he leaves office.

    So, the Indian variant could now be the catalyst in holding back the roadmap on 21st June. Well, if anything is likely to start a backlash against our friends from the sub-continent, it will be this ; preventing the rest of the population who have abided by the rules, taken their 1 or 2 injections, and likely to be deprived of a freedom that’s to be put on the back burner because a community is against having the jab and wont wear masks, will not go down well.

    If unrest kicks off, I don’t think being accused of racism will cut the mustard.

      The BBC prides itself on its ability to obfuscate and deceive. An example can be found on its website today (surely ‘examples can be found on its website everyday’? – Editor). Captioned ‘Covid in Bolton: What’s causing the spike?, it then says precisely nothing about what is causing the spike associated with the so-called Indian variant, helpfully stating ‘No one knows for sure how this spike in infections started.’ Really? Here’s a wild guess:

      1. Infections began rising rapidly in India a couple of months ago, setting alarm bells ringing.
      2. Flights from India continued unabated. And they are still coming – flights from Bombay (7:15am) and Delhi (7:30am) have arrived at T2 Heathrow this morning.
      3. The government did not act quickly to stop travel from India. This was because it was negotiating a trade deal with India and Boris Johnson was scheduled to visit India to discuss it with the Indian Prime Minister.
      4. Infected individuals travelling from India brought the variant back with them, infecting other people.
      5. Bolton has a large migrant population from the Indian sub-continent. This will include infected people who have recently flown to the UK.
      6. Vaccine levels amongst certain communities are lower than amongst the wider population, resulting in a more rapid spread due to lower immunity levels.

      I know, crazy idea, isn’t it? Real tin hat stuff.

      How much can we really believe of what is being pushed out by the media on this isuue? How much credit can we be expected to give -now- to a discredited bunch of scientists whose masters want to subjugate the populace-deprevation is a worse or can be a far deadlier killer than any virus/disease. Apart from all that, this nation cannot and absolutley cannot, halt its recovery, as it is we are running on petrol fumes only! With three quarters of the population now having had this strange vaccine, what need is there for more over vigilence. Unnecessary panick is the name of the game for this government bunch, with a dose of fear thrown out to the already very compliant public. OK Brissles I’ve said enough.

    Something I’ve noticed for a while is how much respect the BBC have started giving politicians on the left and how they have an increasingly sneering tone for those on the right.
    So – entirely at random – I thought I search the BBC site for the very latest references to Boris and Biden.
    ‘Families received the letter from Boris Johnson on Thursday morning.’
    ‘President Joe Biden has hailed a “great day for America”‘
    Why not ‘Prime Minister Boris Johnson’ ???.
    It’s this kind of subtle bias which occurs a thousand times a day which bias checkers should be looking at – not just distilling the contents of what is reported for check-boxes.
    ps. Sleepy Joe should have thanked Trump’s administration for all the groundwork they did to make it possible. According to the BBC, Joe did it all.

      The real reason I went to check was to see if they/them/it/whatisit was elected by the people. As expected, the answer is no : the other councillors elected him purely on political/transgender grounds. Because it is a him.
      Good to see they have the interests of the people they are supposed to represent as their top priority. I didn’t check, but I will bet my house they are all far-Left. As Pol-Pot said, the agenda trumps everything else.

    Health issues have been making all the news this past year or so. You may have noticed. How is our fabulous NHS doing these days? Did we save it? Did we protect it sufficiently… from our… sickness? We sure clapped it. Now even our pop stars suggest it should get payrises.

    Anecdotally, all is not so good. I hear a 94-year-old granny with a tumor on her leg was told by her GP to take a mobile phone picture of the problem and text it in. My little nephew broke his little finger – photograph it and text it in, his parents were told.

    You can’t really blame the doctors. Would you want to be face to face with diseased, smelly, potentially time-wasting people day in day out? Why bother with so much frontline stuff when the NHS can provide you a stable healthy monthly income and you can instead get invloved with all the latest innovations in remote working tech and all those lucrative new pharmaceutical developements. Or, if you’re on a lower paygrade, there’s always TikTok as a distraction.

    The problem is that our nationalised health service is not customer driven. I’ll qualify that. The service doesn’t respond to what patients desire. The customer is the government. Then perhaps it responds to what the political paymaster dictates – well, up to a point. With a large and powerful workforce, empowered by public goodwill, the payroll vote tends to get their way.

    So how is Britain’s great socialistic post-war flagship doing?

    England NHS waiting list hits record 5m‘ (FT)

    But we still love it, right? We’re happy to wait patiently and act under what they used to term “doctor’s orders” ?

    Climbdown over NHS online and phone triage‘ (Telegraph) ‘Patients win right to see GP face to face following screening system backlash‘ – so there are indeed murmurings of discontent. We’ll see how that goes.

    Indian variant won’t stop reopening, says PM‘ (Telegraph) – That’ll be the India Variant of the mustn’t call it China Flu.

    Our left-leaning press, and our hysterical press (which covers most of it) would beg to differ with the optimistic PM: ‘Concerns rise over virus variant‘ (FT); ‘Race to stop Indian strain cases more than double inside a week‘ (Times); ‘Vaccine surge for under-30s possible in new hotspots‘ (‘i’); ‘Covid: new Indian variant fears‘ (Daily Mail)

    Thank goodness there’s some light (and bitter?) relief in the Star: ‘124 pints and a packet of crisps, please‘ – apparently, according to economists, that’s how much we each would need to drink in order to save ‘our beleaguered… (be-lagered?) pub industry‘ – Gulp! Cheers. The Star helpfully supplies a ‘handy wallchart‘ to track progress. I personally might have given it a go but it turns out there’s a very long waiting list for a pub table. When I did get an appointment the barmaid took so much time doing the admin that it took ages to order a drink. A somewhat uncanny similar customer service to what we find these days in our NHS.

    I learned of yet another friend who never stopped working normally (home improvements) all through the covids only yesterday. He kept that quiet in case he got clobbered by the thought police!

    All those furloughed jobs made life a misery for so many citizens who needed public services, a doctor on call and of course, a decent information service which was seriously lacking where the awful BBC was concerned.

    Our village set up a local info service and everyone was looked after, without the need to clap every blasted litter-picker. I wish GBNews had been around at the start of all this, several fatcats would have been poked in the arse very, very quickly.

    The BBC is guilty of making so many false accusations, causing panic where none existed, and making vulnerable citizens more worried than they needed to be. Sod the lot of them.
