Start the Week 14 June 2021

The current PM is due to announce any changes to restrictions due to take place on 21 June . How will the BBC respond ? And how will the first week of GBNews be received ? How soon will OFCOM put it on the woke naughty step?

      Catchup links to latest posts on the previous thread
      page 3 just 6 posts
      It started 8pm Sunday, that’s the same time as GBnews started https://www.gbnews.uk/watchlive
      It’s not a rolling news station,
      but rather quite similar to TalkRadio, as it has a series of guests and phone-ins
      Lefty guests as well as the righty guests not given a fair say by MSM
      Even so when Farage was about to comment on Boris’s extremely wokist words it suddenly went to a Coop advert and emerged with another guest instead.
      Met Office do the weather

      page 2 started 8am Sunday
      At the end had comments about GBNews
      but it started with lots of comments about Biden at the G7 etc.

    EG – Ha Ha me too … its a bit rough about the edges but still a fresh presentation. I thought Lord Sumption was the high point so far – but then again – i was a kind of lawyer once.,,

    Its a pity they couldnt give Alan Sugar a daily 15 minutes …

    I was monitoring the reaction to GB News but came across a piece by Norman Brennan of a couple wrecking a defibrillator at Buxted FC last night ( saturday ) after the Erickson incident.

    If you see it – you will wonder about human nature – drunk – drugged – or not….

    The Sun will be pushing for the identity of the couple on monday…

    One noticeable point with GB, the guests are allowed to speak (so far) without any interruptions from the interviewer. It was a delight to hear Lord Sumption speak at length.

      Gosh, just like on those internet interviews we are not supposed to trust because the BBC isn’t doing them; interviews where the point is to give some one the time to explain something, and the interviewer is there to draw him out, not shut him up.

    What a breath of fresh air GB news is .. Even the adverts aren’t bad ! Watching it as I type. So wonderfully not the BBC !

    Once they employ someone who can switch on a microphone or knows how to play a video at the right time, then it might be a success.

    It’s got to be more than just a place where you can hear a wider range of opinions. It has to be professional and entertaining too.

    So far I have the feeling that they are certainly prepared to broadcast views you won’t hear on the BBC but I suspect that they are not prepared to move the Overton Window as far as I would. I can’t imagine that the kind of opinions on issues such as race, LGBT, or Islam that we often hear on this site will be tolerated on GB News. But I hope they prove me wrong.

    If it’s only slightly better than the BBC then I predict it will collapse. It’s got to be MUCH MUCH BETTER to get me to watch it.

      I posted this last night. This is only 20 mins long so please listen to Anne Marie Waters the only party leader willing to publicly speak the truth about Islamic threats/ violence/corruption and its enablement predominantly, but not exclusively, by the Labour party.

    Flipping heck Radio4 is obsessed with a particular type of black grievance

    – 05:45am Profile, Michaela Coel
    The multi-talented performer making BAFTA history with awards for ‘I May Destroy You’.

    8:48am A Point of View
    opinion from black writer : Bernardine Evaristo
    topic Saving ART funding

    11:45am repeat from 2017
    Shelina Janmohamed – writer and vice-president of Ogilvy Noor, the world’s first Islamic branding consultancy – outlines the emergence of “Generation M”: the world’s 1 billion Muslims under the age of 30, of whom 90% say their faith informs their consumer decisions.

    12:30pm The food prog
    Connections to the ART industry

    4pm Book Show
    was there a black author as usual ?
    Yep “Natasha Brown”
    In the first book about a New York hero
    the presenter loved dwelling on black characters the black man who killed him and the black brothel keeper woman Bessy who became very rich
    “this book confronts race and racism”
    Yet they then admit that the hero had actually died before Bessy existed.
    They trailed next week’s episode which will star
    Zakiya Dalila Harris “author of THE OTHER BLACK GIRL”

    4:30pm Poetry show was not black
    Rather a 19C lesbian couple who wrote in the name of a man
    “the women were aunt and niece, but also lovers.”
    they did point out this would be seedy if they had been male.

    5:40pm – 05:45am Profile, Michaela Coel the black actress again

    6:15pm Pick of the Week
    selected by a black rapper Guvna B
    Guvna B tells you about his cousin, who he says, “somehow managed to win a couple of BAFTA awards”.
    later in the how
    “Thank god for role models that speak up MY COMMUNITY
    in a way that people who aren’t from MY COMMUNITY can understand
    here’s George the poet …”

    then a black grievance poem

    ..next grievance about booing taking the knee
    “one of those things the world needs is empathy
    I find it strange that there are people when people are *doing whatever the can for justice*, but their actions are met with DEFENCE rather than empathy

    ..Wow that is a very BBC framing … kneeling footballers are noble, rather than victims of exploitation by a Marxist Cult and middle class mind controllers
    Clip of radio 5Live commentator going on about the booing

    Guvna B “Players were booed by their own fan, for taking the knee
    then at the whistle they were booed
    It was almost like fans were saying ‘We don’t care about your fight for justice, just hurry up and play some football’ “

    … Wow the guy talks about empathy and then he say that nasty thing
    Of coure the crowd DO CARE about justice , but alo care about Marxist PR trickery.
    I am hoping and praying more more unity”
    ..again NOT empathy , he wants people to conform

    “I think it i fitting to finish off my show with Black British icon : Trevor Nelson
    he has been exemplary “

        Can Black persons inform the world why being Black is the only thing that should matter to them, and to every one else in the world?

        We have university professorships handed to Black persons just for being Black, to profess on the subject of being Black. Its of no intellectual significance being Black or woman. The academic title is debased, and so are universities.

        GB news might taffman-however the Left has looked at the atrocities committed by the fascists in World War Two and drawn completely the wrong conclusion. Instead of opposing intolerance in all its guises it has turned on its own people and attacked the very culture, national pride, history and homogeneity that allowed evil to be defeated in the first place. Instead of embracing decency and family they have adopted the same kind of superstitious, hate-filled, violent ideology that brought the world to war in the first place… Broadly speaking the Labour Party and your taxpayer funded national opinion former, the BBC, are run by a cabal of unreconstructed student radicals who never lost faith in the propaganda drip-fed to them by their Marxist lecturers in the ’70s and ’80s. Many are followers of the Frankfurt School that waved the red flag for the tactics of Gramsci and Marcuse, a blueprint for controlling organisations funded by the state. That was the class warfare of Ralph Miliband, taught to students of history, philosophy, sociology, politics and economics. The Left’s utopian vision of one great melting pot of humanity with the whole world hand-in-hand, like the old Coca-Cola advert, required the overthrow of capitalism and the destruction of Western values to sustain it. It is being destroyed before our eyes, but what are we, you and I doing about it?

        Its going to end like most socialist health care mistakes end – in the crematorium, and no autopsy possible.

        Boris Johnson is proving to be more socialist then Labour.

        In many measures Boris Johnson is no longer a conservative.

        1. He is for Open borders

        2. He is paying into the EU all that they ask

        3. British waters are open to EU fisheries.

        4. No Nation first politician would agree to let the UN control its nation’s policy on Energy use. Boris does.

        Its no surprise that the EU is all for Climate Change policy. Its a socialist enterprise.

        For all practical purposes we are in the EU, but with no voting rights. But that was to be expected from Boris.

      This is terrible news. Gays should never be allowed to donate blood. This appears to be complacency but perhaps it is more a case of us just surrendering yet again to the intimidating gay activist lobby, a group of people who seem to me to hate normal society and desire its destruction.
      Gays are not the marriage-loving, monogamous martyrs of BBC mythology. These promiscuous perverts haven’t radically altered their behaviour post-AIDS and are riddled with STDs and many other diseases.
      Diseases mutate and tests can fail to detect them. We seem to believe our tests are foolproof. They are not.

    Andy Ngo is the journalist who was badly beaten by Antifa and early lost his life. He is a refugee or at least his parents were running from Communism, he knows what it is and what to fear.

      I agree America is lost in a morass of confusion, Antifa, BLM, White hatred, worshipping Blacks, Elections stolen on request, and more. If it continues on this course, America will break up. The Republican states will leave the Union. The union will dissolve.

      America is so lost that it needs God’s help.

      And yes, when that happens, we will have another EU referendum.

    Bee Lady having a chat with a nice old man from sage happily talking about the need to delay the end of lockdown – maybe 4 weeks. Bee lady was a nodding dog .

    Not 4 weeks – lets make it 8 or maybe 12 – just in case of shortages – but then add 3 weeks for the virus to work – but then its getting cold – so lets be cautious – maybe we can reduce restructions after christmas – or after Spring – but the could be a new variant – so maybe delay it further – lets be on the safeside .
    The above – by the way – is an effing joke . The government has lost the plot .

      Fed, Bojo has allowed himself to be tricked into not looking at the data but instead looking at dates.

      The data shows rising infections but very few deaths.

      I suspect the reason why some SAGEistas and other scientists and bits of the media have done this is to be able – again – in future to portray the PM as unreliable and a liar. The PM doesn’t have the brain fully engaged on the subject, he is still away with the Cornish fairies or dreaming of proper Cornish pasties and cream teas and has allowed himself to be suckered into a never-ending series of lockdowns.

      Look at the data, Prime Minister, not dates. Don’t be a wimp.

        But we all know, don’t we, that none of this has anything to do with a virus, but everything to do with control and repression. We KNOW it. Those who designed it that way, have been telling us so, for ages – even before the plan was put into operation.

        This is the “New World Order”, the “Great Reset”, the “Building Back Better”, and the ” Green New Deal” we have been warned about, and it’s being enforced upon us.

        People are so weak and gullible, they have been forced into submission. How will it end, I wonder, and when? What will it take for the country to erupt into serious protest? Silly question really, as everyone is sitting fat dumb and happy with the new regime – just think, you don’t need to go to work, and will still be paid. All right, some people will lose their jobs and income, and private enterprise will die, but well worth the convenience of being stop-at-home slugabeds.

        Yes, the government may compulsorily purchase your homes – but they’ll rent them back to you, just wait and see! No cars or travel? So what – who needs to go anywhere? Pricey food and much less meat? Not a problem – everyone loves soya and lentils, and they’re fed up with neighbour’s barbies, anyway. What a glorious, lazy outlook for many.

        All we have to do is wear these ruddy masks, and not get close to anyone else. So that’s why they invented “Zoom”….

    TOADY Watch #1 – it is definitely time to shuffle off Auntie BBC into a Care Home, her memory has gone, she has serious dementia, possibly Alzheimer’s Disease.

    I’m not a fan of former President Trump but I hate the way the BBC directly, and indirectly through others, unfairly malign him. It started first thing this morning, right after the first look at the newspapers. Rick Nobinson – completely forgetful or totally ignorant of recent political history – started on the ‘Once again, America is engaging with the world.’

    Just to remind Nick and the BBC, in November 2016 all those with early Trump Derangement Syndrome were fearing a war between the USA and North Korea. I have a friend who was actually terrified at the prospect. What had happened by November 2020, dredged from my unreliable memory?

    The then President Trump had:
    1. Faced down the leader of N.Korea and charmed him into a ‘stalemate’
    2. Met with leaders of N.Korea and S.Korea and brought them together for talks
    3. Had a successful tour of Japan
    4. I seem to recall met with other leaders of the ASEAN region
    5. I think he’d met and charmed President Xi of China
    6. Taken out a terrorist organiser in the Iranian RG heirarchy
    7. Demonstrated a willingness to keep President Assad from using chemical weapons
    8. Moved the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the capital.
    9. Negotiated a peace Treaty between Israel and some of the surrounding Arab nations
    10. Put up with a load of insults and rubbish from people like Sadiq Khan while on a visit to the UK.

    There could be more to add to that list.

    Now if that is withdrawing from the world, I don’t know what Rick Nobinson and Joe Biden think is America engaging with the world, America ‘leading the world’. Another war? Like the ones Democratic Party Presidents (note the plural) have had in the past?

    Pathetic. Radio off switch hit.

    Have a good day everyone.

      100% UpStuff-They the loathsome critics of Donald Trump could not control him (in view of the fact that he was richer than most of those rats), as they may have done and did do with other Presidents, especially Obama-(don’t forget that Biden was Obama’s vice President for a time)- therefore they resorted to malicious snipes-I am just hopeful that America will remain strong enough to keep the invading armies of the Communists at bay.

    Lif death more serious than that

    One’s outlook depends very much on one’s persective. They used to say one man’s meat is another man’s poison – although we don’t tend to hear that saying so much these days.

    Take for instance President Joe Biden, who has just visited the Queen at Windsor: ‘The US leader said… his royal host reminded him of his mother‘ (Times) – she’s certainly getting on in years but that’s putting it a bit strong. Mind you, Boris compaired Biden to a “breath of fresh air” which is pretty odd if he’s referring to fresh ideas considering Sleepy Joe has been in Congress for fifty years. He’s old enough to have met the Queen’s dad. He’s hardly what the yanks term a freshman. I don’t know about your relatives on the brink of eighty years of age but mine – love ’em – tend not to give off that elusive whiff of fresh air.

    The frontpages of the papers are filled with news of yesterday’s England win at football: ‘Sterling work in England’s Euro 2020 opener at Wembley‘ (Telegraph) – which, as Blairite spin doctor Jo Moore once infamously observed, makes today “a good day to “bury” bad news

    You can’t kid a kidder and you can’t spin the hoary old Grub Street hack the Daily Mail. They don’t miss a trick: ‘Good news England make winning Euros start Bad News fury as Boris set to confirm June 21 is OFF

    Meanwhile it’s like taking candy from a baby over there at the born yesterday snowflake millennial ingénue Guardian: ‘Delay in easing could keep thousands out of hospital

    I’ll give them this – the Guardian knows what buzz words whet the attention of its limited attention span low information audience: ‘Netanyahu loses power Far-right leader takes charge as coalition ousts Israeli PM after 12 years in government

    Far-right…? In Israel? Surely that’s synonymous with… ah but you see Far-right has no real fixed meaning or definition – it just means they don’t like something. Brexit was Far-right, right?

    Back to the football – just when you thought it was all over – the Sun celebrates: ‘Raheem glory… days after gong. Footie hero Raheem Sterling did the honours for England yesterday – two days after being made an MBE‘ – it took the 1966 England World Cup winners decades to get their honours but our Raheem gets his medal before the fact. It’s just as well he tapped in the goal as I hear apart from that he had a shocker and our taking-the-knee proponent Southgate was criticised for picking the newly blinged out MBE Sterling over the in-form pale Grealish. Phew. Big relief all round as these days anything but fulsome praise for a black person equates to full blown racism.

    But how do I purport to pontificate on the intricacies of the beautiful game? I’m just a bloke. The Daily Mail makes clear on their frontpage that contray to our own prejudices and lying eyes it’s not the lads but the ladettes who predominently cheer on the football: ‘Party time: England fans in Manchester yesterday‘ – eight beer swilling young northern lassies are pictured, all in their three lions shirts and with cross of St George flags painted on their cheeks… with red lippy.

    Football comes home as (small) crowds cheer Wembly win‘ – the Times there with a headline worthy of its former status as the newspaper of historic record.

    Talking of burying bad news – as we were earlier – and why not double dip on a good segue: ‘GB news complains to regulators over BBC‘ (Telegraph) – this is our licence funded national broadcaster, and their liberal-minded media allies at Sky et al, attempting to strangle the apparently ‘Right-leaning‘ rival GB News at birth by denying the newcomer the sharing of video of public events.

    Speaking of which: ‘BBC faces scrutiny over Erikson footage‘ (‘i’) – I know there’s a lot of football in this press review but there’s an awful lot of footie footage in the news columns – so to speak. For those who have looked away ever since they thought it was all over in 66, the controversial Erikson footage is not the latest Scandi Noir but the on pitch collapse of a Danish player and susequent unwillingness of BBC producers and directors to cut away from the live broadcast of CPR on the unfortunate chap and what may techincally have been his death and may if things had gone badly actually have been his death.

    England may or may not win the Euros. But you can bet your mortgage the BBC will judge itself to have got that one about right.

    Personally I welcome the football as a distraction – if only they’d stop taking the knee – I’ve got the beer in. Now, can anyone lend me a red lipstick?

    This is another ‘off-topic’. The Climate was never about the state of the weather. (A BBC invention that was so popular as is a new belief that high tech GATES. SOROS. FACEBOOK. GOOGLE. CHINA. RUSSIA. VENUZULEA et al – can solve ALL the worlds problems), by locking up all sceptics (including Scientists, Lawyers and others who have proof that a climate emergency exists – or that the VIRUS was man-made). Which is true. No doubt BIDEN will blame it all on CHINA). We’ll see later in August September whether TRUMP was right or not.
    Western governments were primed that this ‘could’ happen back in 2017 well before it was ‘distributed’ in host nations. By accident maybe.

    Remember the BBC is part of this pandemic UN inspired GLOBAL ‘reset’ plan (post COVID). The global billionaires – DAVOS elite – have long sought to impose upon the worlds ‘plebs’ (those that may refuse to pay the TV license for example. This is the plan and mindset of the tech elites to keep us enslaved consumers. Its working. BIG data compliance and (pre-planned) CCTV and data snoopers on every aspect of your life is already in place here in the UK.. Fines for dropping litter, fines for using the wrong rubbish bin labelled ‘Green’. Fines for late Car Tax, fines for late TV license (or non payment). This is the brave New World of UK surveillance when ramped up to whatever ‘crisis’ you can invent. It might be true , or it might not exist.

    For proof of our DATA being stolen and sold read here.
    If you trust the NHS with your data then fine. If you trust FACEBOOK with your data then ignore those who have lots all personal information on Facebook (Legal claim is here).
    http://www.digitalrights.ie/facebook

    If you trust Google to not sell your data – then you probably don’t have a computer or email address. If you don’t totally trust the NHS will vital health records you can opt out…

    OPT OUT or NHS data collection.
    It has since been pushed back to 1st September (so please alert family and friends of this ability to ‘opt-out’). After that date (1st September 2021) , there is no choice, it will be cradle to grave UK surveillance). And the BBC will use that data to enforce TV license impositions and personalise it to match your profile. The NHS will use that profile to mange your life expectancy. Or termination.

    NHS data- Its YOUR data (not theirs to sell to the BBC or anyone else).
    https://reclaimthenet.org/nhs-data-opt-out/

    WE DO NOT KNOW who will access our (future) data in another Labour government (or even this one). The BBC is just one example that has free access to HMG data for TV license tracking. It will know your address, health, age and occupation at the click of a button. Secondly the NHS will sell your data to those prepared to pay for it. Most of it will be ‘hacked’ or stolen in a future breach. The NHS is not exactly ‘secure’ and will never be ‘not’ in crisis or have staff that will not ‘sell’ you data for a small profit to hackers. This has happened before and its not unique as Lawyers (will be) prevented in future from launching claims against the NHS; (see NHS for negligence)

    WATCH THE VIDEO (dramatic) but its shows what they can do now.
    If you want an outline of what this all means, watch the FT video on how this can be manipulated using a ‘third party’. You can be sure all the big tech companies will target you on whatever device you hold or have and links to everyone you know.
    https://www.ft.com/content/9fee812f-6975-49ce-915c-aeb25d3dd748

Meanwhile today (Monday) HIV infected blood (as blood doners) can be distributed by the NHS to all those who have not got it. This the BBC has long campaigned for this -as a human right (to infect others) and create a health crisis. At the same time TRANSGENDERS (sponsored by the BBC) in the BBC enabled to tell us all about what GENDER ‘is’ – and why we should be to be ‘happy’ and live a short life on drugs (living with HIV) or gender re-assignment. The BBC are happy to ignore our complaints – that this IS a total abuse of taxpayer money – as is the NHS forced to provide and ‘harm’ another innocent child or adult requiring a blood transfusion. Despite this happening once before (and denied by NHS that blood scanned ‘safe’ was contaminated).

    The liberals (in governance and civil service) are the new Marxists. The BBC Marxists are (self admitted) ‘elite’ Trotskyists (they claim no relation to the lower class Marxists, who are foot soldiers for the cause). That is not progressive enough for the BBC. They want a New World Order where we simply never ever ask what country we live in, or what rights we once held power to account. It was called Democracy.

    I hope that GB News can get all the sound problems sorted out quickly.

    I’m not going to change channels but I think some people looking in to see what it’s all about will be put off by the poor sound. Echo-ing and double sound slightly delayed together with noise on the sound will make some switch off.

    Studio sound and studio panels are fine but the outside interviews all seem to be affected.

    They also often miss the beginning of comments before they put the sound on the outside source.

    All problems which can be sorted but it’s does need sorting asp before it loses viewers.

    I’m fully behind them but it’s even annoying me.

    I know it’s teething problems and will be fixed but it needs fixing sooner rather than later.

      The Government clearly failed on borders. Not only importing a new variant, but importing it in such quantities that it was allowed to embed fast and become dominant faster than many other countries.

      they at least seem to be saying the previously unsayable

      I fired off an email to them, saying exactly this Emm. Also that the female hosts were shouting and shreiking, perhaps due to the echoing, so they need to sort out the decor to absorb the sound, or it’ll just be another hyper version of the Holly & Phillip show.

      Emmanuel: Glad I’m not the only one, and I’m also finding the studio sound is very faint. I have to double my volume on the TV to make it audible compared to other channels.

      As you say, people will lose interest, and they’ll lose their audience.

      I guess a more slick presentation will come with time, but the technical defects need to be sorted ASAP.

    Readers will no doubt be pleased to know that in my business career when I was appointed global project lead (for a certain business activity the details of which need not detain us) the appointment was not to cover up the fact that while at college I got blind drunk from time to time.

    What has this irrelevant rubbish got to do with me? I hear you rightly ask.

    I doubt that anything will happen but here’s a copy of an email I’ve sent to Michelle Dewberry on GB News.

    Start:

    Can I give you a couple of questions you may like to answer on your show.

    1. Is it true that when the crowd started booing the England players kneeling, the tannoy system was used to sound applause to drown the booing out. I’ve seen some posts on places like Facebook comments from people saying they were there and this happened. The tannoy playing the applause they use when they have been televising games with no crowds.

    2. These 29 people which have died after having both jabs. Is there any info on them and the circumstances. Did they catch covid (or already have it) at the time they got the 2nd jab because it’s supposed to take 3 weeks before becoming fully effective. Were these people already in a bad way and covid wasn’t the primary cause of death. I’ve seen no info on these 29. Is it being suppressed because if the facts were known it might harm the govt’s plans to keep the lockdown going.

    Perhaps some of your viewers might get back to you with info on the above if it’s asked on your show.

    All the best for GB News. It’s my go to channel. It’s such a breath of fresh air.

    End.

      been wondering that myself , the normal course of events at football is for the noise to ramp up just before kickoff anyway, and I was wondering whether the cheers and applause just ramped up as the players stood up to kick off.

      Ive not managed to find any real clips

      ITVs is telling me taking the knee was met with almost universal applause

      which seems to differ from other outlets

      and the mirror chooses oddly a video of some pub or other without reference to what the players were doing at the time

        I don’t think the the PA or tannoy was used to drown out the booing
        cos if that were true Twitter would be full of audio/video clips

        If the FA had any sense
        they would have a stand up for Kick It Out at the half time resumption
        and see if that gets booed.

          Using the tannoy to drown out away support is quite common . The worst i experienced was at old Trafford where 3000 way supporters are subjected to blasted sound to kill any chanting .

          Meanwhile 50 000 Man U supporters are busy taking selfies …

          I believe Wembley would do that – and anything. Else to stamp out freedom to boo.

    Mannah from heaven for GB News as the BBC find no evidence that Bashir was re-hired to keep his mouth shut.
    That’s the thing with internal enquiries, they’re so dependable. And shamelessly predictable.

    Meanwhile the commentary on the Scotland match is a study in pathos and angst as they say ‘C’mon lads, clock’s ticking doon, one more eeffort….’ again. And again.

      Tragically, those are “local issues” for Batley. The area has been colonized by islam far more effectively than the Raj ever tried to colonize India.

      Apparently, the Indians were right to want to be free of the Raj, whereas we have to “celebrate diversity”. It won’t end well for anybody.

        I hope ‘For Britain’ manages to get the message across during the Batley and Spen by-election. Interestingly FB has become the only Ukip spin-off worth supporting. (The original party having shrunk beyond belief and run by a timidocracy and no use to anyone)
