Euro 2020: England aspire to ‘champagne football’, says manager Gareth Southgate
As they say, comments could be going better.
England won’t be winning anything with such a woke, anodyne, unadventurous yes man.
They had a good ten minute spell against mediocre opposition
The players are not good enough, and ‘star player’ ‘Arry Kane hasn’t turned up yet.
Harry-I must reiterate on what I wrote last night. I only
watch the football on ITV for the adverts . I want to go
on line and buy a product every time I see a family
gathering. The virtue signalling brings me out in goose
pimples.
The BBC just don’t know what they are missing not
having adverts on their channel. It’s just not the same
as having continuity presenters telling us what’s coming
on next in patois.
Yes I do feel guilty on being married for 53 years to a women
of the same ethnicity as me.
Devastating blow for BBC as Scotland knocked out of Euro 2020 football at hands of Croatia. Experts claim it was down to lack of black players in Scottish squad and institutional racism. Calls for England to withdraw from campaign in solidarity.
Could an independent Scotland within the EU have won the competition? We speak to Nicola Krankie of the Scottish National Socialist Party.
And they had Andy Murray commenting afterwards, well some sort of droning whine sounded the same…
………in an interview Ms. Krankie said âthis result is entirely due to the evil Tory government in Westminster continually underfunding Scotland. They are only interested in Englandâ
âGovernment approach to business ‘chaotic’ and ‘incoherent’, says Heseltineâ
Why are Al Beeb wheeling out this old Tory âremainerâ again ?
They have to rotate with Femi and Adonis.
The Adonis of Hs2?
He didn’t do too bad out of it when he was there, and before he funked his own ‘leadership campaign!
Like Major, Clarke, Blair, Brown; all men from another failing era, so much liked by the BBC.
Scroblene
Like A Beeb, all are toxic and striving to get Great Britain back into the European Empire . An empire that we voted to leave five years ago today.
They are acting like a Socialist regime so it’s not hard to see why.
Sawwwwwwy.
All good.
Can you imagine how this clip would have been reported if it was someone the BBC didn’t like any more, Morrisey for instance?
They would have been spitting feathers but it’s a nice young woke lady who made an inadvertent gaffe while she was not thinking so that’s fine!
The utter absurdity of it all is that by the Left’s definiton of racism, Asian or black people can do exactly the same to white people and it isn’t.
‘racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.’
WTF has whether or not the target is a minority got to do with it ?.
Raised yesterday, butâŚ. #CCBGB
I wonder if that bbc Pret lady from QT is a patron?
This must be the end of the world! My God! How can we charge all that money for a bucket of baked beans and a dead cat, and not have a poo-man to take away the remains!
I ask you, what is the place coming to…
Guest, you deserve a medal for getting these scoops on show, it’s still quite early y’know!
Great stuff!
Everyone has a few grand in the bank and have got used to the easy life living off furlough. They don’t want to go back to sh1t jobs just yet.
They have the had first taste of communism and living off the state with other people’s money. They’ll get the second when the consequences of huge debt and no more free money left hits the fan.
Spot on, JC!
Can-kickers eventually arrive at a dead end…
If the mandate for bloody masks is removed then he may have some success. Who’d want to wear one for 8 hours or more for minimum wage?
âIndyref2: Scottish independence referendum unlikely before 2024 – Goveâ.
Great Britain is one island . As the security and defence of the nation is dependent on being one border the whole of Great Britain should be participating in any future referendum.
Taffman – Brillo interviewed a Scottish National socialist from the Alba party who explained why the 800 000 Scots in England are not entitled to a vote .
Maybe Alba thinks that the software for fixing elections is too expensive âŚ
Btw – someone buy Lula Modric a drink – maybe scotch – Bris?
One (small) island, one set of health rules?
Anyone is welcome to come to Scotland, provided they hate the English, (and Whhite people?). The Scots that live in England are traitors who refuse to hate the enemy and must not be allowed anywhere near a vote!
A sour face and a tendancy to gripe and moan in a monotone drone doesn’t go amiss either.
“It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine.”
– P. G. Wodehouse
Covid travel rules and laws are a joke . We donât need new rules , we need a new PM and cabinet. The present one is a joke.
To illustrate their Covid update, the BBC choose a totally random photo of a vaccinator (left).
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274
They alternate Palestinian Authority media with Getty.
And who looks so chipper when about to be jabbed?
Taffman – the problem is that the British voting public like âjokes â . Nut nut has a rare commodity – he has gained the âaffection â of voters with the buffoon act .
However – with inflation and interest rates and tax rises looking imminent before the end of 2021 he might not be so popular .
Back to the BBC –
The DT reports that British athletics tried to charge the BBC for some tedious athletics thing this weekend but the BBC wanted it for free. Maybe sky or BT or Amazon will pick it up –
3 days of woke worship of coloured people who can run fast ainât for me . âŚ.
So looks like the BBC schedule will involve people with matching sweatshirts bidding or buying antiques ?
The buffoonery act is beginning to wear thin with the public .
“So looks like the BBC schedule will involve people with matching sweatshirts bidding or buying antiques ?”
Four people buy retail and try to sell wholesale. Not only that, they often buy what they like, not what the buyers might like. Britain no longer a nation of shopkeepers but of lazy customers?
Jim – I donât know what these programmes are – but they always seem to be wearing matching âuniforms â – Iâve seen that âomes unda da âammer â show where filthy capitalist scum buy repossessed homes , get a kid to paint everything mushroom then rent it to the Social for big profits l – very – er BBC âŚ..
I don’t get why the auction bidders don’t just go down to the antiques market?
Dilemmas abound as bbc editorial gathers in Frankie Howerd for a line to take pow wow.
Guest Who
Every cloud has a silver lining ?
Komrads. We have a contradiction within identity politics. We are promoting Islam and Lesbianism
Shades of Grey, all these Lesbians and Feminist groups just forming up harems waiting (panting) for their Muslim sheik to come along?
#CCBGB
Blimee! What are the odds of getting three ‘white’ football players together?
Joy of joys; the Hack with the Rack has expanded her scope and⌠guess what!
She invites a representative sample of bbc public to get in touchâŚ. from a sample she has left unblocked.
Sure her French and Russian and years of science training in the field will see her have them convinced to join XR daubing a building by weekâs end.
Almost got 20 reactions.
Does she feed maxincony with all his information and troll-posts on this site?
I was wondering why she is labelled ‘specialist’ when all the other BBC subject ‘experts’ don’t.
Then it dawned.
All the BBC reporters do ‘Disinformation’ and source their stories from ‘Social Media’ but they specialise in Politics, Science, Economics etc. Poor Marianna is a ‘Jill of all trades’ and knows ‘nowt about owt’.
This was in complement.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jun/22/congos-latest-killer-is-the-climate-crisis-inaction-is-unthinkable?
See how they operate yet?
On social media it got a couple of dozen reactions in a day.
âHack with a rack â đ
I would like her to investigate the BBC and MSM conspiracy which says the election fraud accusations are false when they cannot possibly know that to be true.
I wonder if she is clever enough to realise what a pointless and totally hypocritical job she has. She’s not allowed to go near anything against the agenda.
Climate change is real and there has always been constant change. Rising Co2 is a result of the change, not the trigger for it. That is the con that is being used for societal change.
Alex Belfield weighs into the M&S George Floyd ad.
“Iâll Never Shop In M&S Again 𤏠Beyond Insulting”
#me too.
OT, but the Indy does love a #criticsaresaying too.
Still, the GB ban atones, surely?
Stopped shopping in M&S about 2 years ago. Had gone in to buy a shirt – every single poster in the menswear section featured a black man, thought I’d been mysteriously teleported to a branch in Lagos or Johannesburg. Message to M&S based on the title of a 2016 movie: “I Am Not Your Negro”.
George Floyd is the same person who was a habitual criminal? Since when did a habitual criminal become an example.
Maybe M&S sell stab-proof vests for pregnant women!
Nope, not on our cards to visit anytime in the future now! Shame really, but there it is, ‘Rat'(ner) on your customers, and they shop elsewhere! We’ve already saved about fifty notes and counting!
Senior management I thought were intelligent and informed people. I find it difficult to comprehend that they have fallen for an outright fascist organisation such as BLM. M&S senior management particularly so.
Or is that they are doing reverse psychology to bring BLM down.
Great Britain đŹđ§ first withe the vaccine!
Last to take advantage of it ?
BBC News
“There is, understandably going to be some discomfort with the procedure, but it should not be overwhelming.”
***
See where this is headed yet?
Excellent news – thousands of VIPs will be coming to Londonistan to watch some football matches – without checks or the sort of 10 day lockdowns required by British people like me .
I will have to lockdown when i return to Blighty – there is obviously a biological difference between me and Football VIPs .
Nice bit of corruption – but I suppose the exemption for journalists and diplomatic staff -doesnât get much of a mention either
Fedup2
One rule for some âŚâŚâŚ..
Covid does not affect you if you arrive by dingy or if you have a football ticket?
Follow the money.
I think the threat of moving it elsewhere âpersuadedâ pliable BoJo to concede.
Peter – it might as well have gone elsewhere because UK involvement in semi finals will hopefully be zip .
And that’s why I am no more a Tory than a lefty though currently I am so appalled at the alternative I lend them my vote.
Two-tier systems of privilege abound with left and right.
And football is always King.

“Hold a binding referendum on the future of the TV licence.”
22 June 2021
The government has committed to maintain the licence fee funding model for the duration of this Charter period, until 2027. The licence fee model will be reconsidered ahead of the next Charter Review.
etc. etc.
The government has ‘committed’ to a lot of things – including reducing immigration. It is now ‘committed’ to enabling and hiding illegal immigration. It follows that the government will be ‘committed’ to the licence fee model well beyond 2027.
UN Afghan envoy Deborah Lyons alarmed at Taliban gains
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-57564716
Then Deborah is in the wrong job. Does she think they sit and sing Kumba-Ya every night ?. I wonder how many have been murdered since we pulled out for being colaborators. We won’t get told anything about that until it suits some ‘victim’ agenda where the blame can be twisted and placed on the UK.
While reading this article, I did my usual check to see who got called a terrorist. The answer – as expected – was nobody. So I decided to see if the UK designates the Taliban as a terrorist organisation.
Remember how we are being told the ‘Far-right’ represent one of the biggest risks ?. Just take a look at this list on who is considered to be terrorists. It’s page after page of Muslim groups. Including the Taliban.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/proscribed-terror-groups-or-organisations–2/proscribed-terrorist-groups-or-organisations-accessible-version
Further from what I found the other day, the BBC are refusing to call any Muslims ‘terrorists’ any more because their global reach means they might well be someone’s ‘freedom fighters’.
It’s absolutely wrong. It’s the BBC reporting and one B stands for ‘British’. If the UK classifies anyone as terrorists, the BBC should be forced to include the word every time they describe the group.
Just who do these people think they are ?. I’ve seen the videos of what these terrorist do and the BBC are protecting them. They make me sick.
I wonder how this worked out?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40411032
Latest I read 5.6 million had applied for settled status, and our useless Government was urging EU nationals to apply before month-end whilst saying that they would look upon late applicants sympatheticallyâŚwhilst confirming that our expatriates in the EU were being stalled or denied the paltry benefits grudgingly supposed to be given on a reciprocal basis.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/22/british-citizens-eu-denied-work-healthcare-brexit-priti-patel/
(Just btw, the UK has ALWAYS paid for the healthcare costs of our citizens in the EU, they have always invoiced us.)
Last night on GB News Dan Wooten interviewed Shaun Bailey who had stood for Mayor of London. This was the first interview I had seen him give. I now understand why the BBC had given him a low profile. I still probably donât know all his politics but he has a lot more personality that the present mayor and also appears to know more about the real world.
If the Tory party had been less niggardly in funding him and pushing his candidacy for London mayor, we might not have been saddled with the useless, virtue-signalling wastrel Sad Dick Khant. Bailey nearly did it on his own!
OT, but given the dominance of Jezâ stormtroopers of faith in Labour, how the BBC spin this one will be impressive.
iirc Keir & Co. were pretty chummy with Phil Shiner’s PIL crowd + Leigh Day.
Leigh Day partners have been photographed at Labour soirees with that Nugee bint. I wonder if Starmer’s chambers have had any hand in either defending squaddies or prosecuting them?
As predicted by quite a few here Covid Delta Plus has arrived . Delta Plus is the cutting edge in virus infections . It can be yours if you engage with new arrivals from India – or perhaps EUFA officials , their staff and families in the coming days .
I have to make âlight â of it or despair might pay an unwelcome visit âŚ
There will be mutations all the time. That’s the nature of virus’. The new mutation puts us in the same league as the ones we already have, which put us in the top of world mortality rates.
Dr John Campbell indicates that we will have long term immunity from corona XX . No need for continuous jabs.
What I feel is that by increasing hysteria about SARS type virus and others that follow, plays into the hands of those who wish us to be masked and hobbled forever.
Amazingly, it shares the same outward symptoms as hay fever so that millions will rush to take a discredited and flawed covid test. Easy to manufacture lots of positives and lock down the UK for an extended period.
What was it about a bunch of elitist out of touch Remainers that first attracted the BBC to Mike today?
And here is a bbc alumnus explaining how it is that he does not hear things.
Gosh, O’Brien is unpleasant!
Surely Heseltine must be old enough to become President of something or other or contribute to Bidenâs best seller , â Life After Dementia â.
How they get a licence to exhume hezza again and again is beyond me âŚ
The bbc newspaper tells us how well the EU has been doing without us âŚ
I thought his government just did away with it all. Was that a strategy? Correct me if I’m wrong.
Advice Requested
I have received my fourth letter from the TV Licensing Authority, the one warning me that I have only 10 days left before they will send someone round to see me.
Can you please advise me what is likely to happen next and what is the best way to go forward .
Double – you tease . ⌠since you dont watch TV you dont need a licence .
I use the letters for shopping lists and the like .
I get a letter roughly every 4 weeks . I miss the ones which said â we know where you live â – which was a bit strange because if they didnt how could they send a letter ?
Anyway – presumably the letter was addressed to â the occupier â . I was thinking of changing my name to â mr occupier â to help TVL out – but then again not.
In summary – do nothing – there is no legal requirement to communicate in any way with TVL . So no coms . Your chances of a visit is infinitely low – but if it happens – not a word – close the door on him / her .
Double, “Can you please advise me what is likely to happen next” Not a lot at present. I have been getting threatening letters almost on a monthly basis. I must get around to sending another ‘cease and desist’ warning to the boss of TV Licensing. I think it is because of the Pandemic, the most likely thing is that an ‘enforcement officer’ (note the small e & o) will put a slip or card through your letterbox and run away from fear of Covid. Has happened to me during the Pandemic.
You are under no obligation to let someone from TV Licensing even talk to you, let alone enter your home although in the very distant past – when I was a lot more tolerant about this and before the big horror stories started – I have done both.
If you do open the door to a caller and they show the TV Licensing ID, say nothing to them. Do not answer their questions. Best to shut the door in my view untill you have served at least two notices to ‘Cease and Desist’ upon TV Licensing under the Protection from Harassment Act 1989. If you are wealthy, or choose to spend your Licence Fee savings pot, you can pay a solicitor to do it for you. You can also do it yourself.
Keep copies of those letters in a place near your front door where you can reach them without leaving the door unattended. They can then be shown, while you remain silent, to the TV Licensing person. If you have a phone you could do one of two things: either film and record what happens next or phone the police on 999. It would then help if you can film or get a note of the TVL operative’s car or van Licence number.
You don’t even have to open the door. Let them stand out in the rain. Mock them for being wet, like their employers. Revel in their suffering, as they do yours.
Double ,
If one does ever visit (unlikely ) , be cleaning your shotgun or polishing your antique sword and ask if they ever found the other TV licence goon that was around your area .
Why do the police never come around to check for my non-existent unlicenced shotgun or HMRC for my non-existent unlicenced alcohol still?
They don’t even bother to write!
Surely at the moment, if you get a visit, is to say you are isolating and possibly start coughing. My hay fever is bad at the moment, Double I am sure yours isnât so good either.
doublethinker
Watch this gent……………………
What’s more don’t let em in and do not answer any question.
They have been here more than four times.
Bin any threatograms.
PS
This is a good site , enjoy……………..
https://tv-licensing.blogspot.com/p/quick-guide.html
If the TV goon calls, don’t let him in or engage in conversation of any kind. Don’t even tell him who you are. Whether you have a TV in the house or not is none of his business. Don’t be drawn into discussing anything; just send him away.
Proud independent island nation
Some time ago the government made an unspoken decision that health passports were the way of the future. Michael Gove headed up the project.
However, they found their plans met considerable public pushback.
So they have employed carrot and stick tactics to threaten and to cajole the public into acceptance of their policy goal.
On the threat side we had a government-sponsored media obsession with the apparently dangerous, so-called, Indian varient – which for PC reasons morphed into the Delta varient.
Cue the sound of the shark theme from the movie Jaws.
How did this affect us? Well, the NHS wasn’t overwhelmed and there weren’t mass deaths but we did get scary TV news reports from India then the supposed 21st June lockdown unlocking was put back by four weeks and all your foreign holidays were cancelled.
Bad Cop has given the prisoner a jolly good working over, bouncing him off the walls of the cell, so now he leaves the room nursing his bruised knuckles. In comes Good Cop, leaving the door tantalisingly ajar and with the offer of a nice cup of tea – if you’ll just do as he says…
‘Blueprint for holiday lift-off‘ (Daily Mail)
Cue the theme from the movie The Sound of Music.
Or alternatively, in the spirit of diversity, that old spiritual sung by Paul Robeson – Let My People Go
And the deal with the Devil is: ‘Ministers poised to end amber list curbs for fully-jabbed from July 19. Trips to US, France, Spain and Italy could be on‘ (Mail)
So let’s just take a step back and think about what this means. A perfectly healthy individual is to be condemned by the State to a form of internal exile, with all overseas travel privileges indefinitely removed, if they should choose not to submit to certain medical procedures.
Let’s just check what civil rights the Guardian is up in arms about today: ‘Don’t delay applying to stay, EU citizens warned‘
I’m as fondly Brexiteer as Nigel Farage when he was in full on Leave mode but since I’ve no beef with European people I’m somewhat alarmed by the covid-emboldened authoritarian language used here: ‘…notices will tell them to submit an application or risk consequences, which include losing their rights to healthcare and employment‘ – where to even begin with that?
Sounds like that old much maligned “hostile environment” – right? So where is the Left speaking up to protect us from the hostile environment second-class citizen apartheid status fast developing around the no-jab community?
As for withdrawal of rights to healthcare and employment, that of course won’t happen – there’d be a rush of civil rights lawyers on that one like summer time wasps on a neglected picnic jam sandwich. Anyway economic lockdowns have surely already done quite enough damage to all our rights to healthcare and employment for some form of class action.
Of course there has been collateral damage caused by the government’s policies of arm-twisting toward jab passports. Our massive fuss over the India varient gave Sir Keir Starmer the opening to make just about the only important – dare one say forensic – point he has ever uttered at PM’s question time when he questioned the government allowing in 20,000 people arriving from India. Sadly for Sir Keir that was not widely reported; the corporate media and his Leftist fellow travellers (but I repeat myself) found his argument, as cogent as it might be in this case, inevitably cast a light on immigration, so still tasted to them much like his usual cold gruel.
And our India lurgy fuss which gave all of us the Bombay Squeeky Bum was of course reported abroad – and as any good brief will warn you will be used in evidence against us: ‘Merkel and Draghi voice Wembley fears. The German chancellor and Italian prime minister have raised concerns over holding the final matches of Euro 2020 in London amid fears over the spread of the Delta varient of coronovirus‘ (FT)
But don’t concern yourselves – nobody in the ruling elites actually believes these covid restrictions are really holding back the black death – you all saw the pictures from the G7 Cornwall gig – it’s all just so much posturing for advantage: ‘Boris Johnson is said to be keen to ward off a bid by… Mario Draghi to switch the last game to Italy… and talks are taking place with orgainisers Uefa to have foreign fans and 2,500 VIPs at the matches‘ (Metro)
In further news of failed grandiose globalist cooperation: ‘G7 snubbed. Tax resistance in Bermuda. Bermudian finance minister… has told the Financial Times the island’s taxation regime is a matter of sovereignty‘ – and quite right too.
And with the added advantage that those off-shore globalist billionaire fortunes secreted away in Bermuda will remain safe. Anyway, time for an grandstanding sloganistic platitudinous statement – How dare the globalists threaten the sovereignty of that proud independent island nation.
There were also reports of an EU trawler nearby.
Are these two things connected?
When will this useless government protect us?
TOADY Watch #1 – The BBC really hate England.
It is strange when you consider that England provides the bulk of the BBC’s revenues. The BBC really ought to love England and be a little cooler to Wales and Scotland and Northern Ireland because those other home nations have all cost the BBC extra money that they cannot spend on themselves making their already vast salaries ever more hugemungusly big.
On the web-site last night, Scotland first item, England second. 8 a.m. News during TOADY this morning was the same. Mishal was having a day off from the ISCBC (Indian sub-Continent Broadcasting Corporation) but after Amol Rajan did a good job on the 8.10 Big Interview Slot, what was the next item?
The Bee Lady talking about Scottish footie before the sports segment, too! And Martha is Irish. Auughhhh! Off switch activated, temporarily.
I have to own up to something here. I’m a wee bit conflicted as some longer-term folk here may have guessed from posts of the past: my ancestors have migrated. From all over, including within the UK.
Why should we worry about where your ancestors are from and why should it make you conflicted?
I have also thought the bbc is anti-English in that – certainly in recent years though perhaps a bit less now – it has seemed to want to negate the notion of England or of identifying as English, whilst simultaneously highlighting and pressing home the distinctiveness and nationhood of the other home nations, the football being pretty much the only exception. And England is somehow the rest of Britain. Eg in history documentaries scientists may be Scottish (Jenner) or British (Newton), etc. And I have wondered why this is.
My partner is Scottish and has also noticed this though he isn’t too bothered about it.
It doesn’t even particularly make sense as a pro-indy strategy.
I just think it would be unbiased to either say everyone is British or to use all nationalities. Consistent and therefore not open to speculation.
(Yes, I do continue to dream that the bbc could become impartial and transparent again, but not holding out much hope.)
I dropped it in the end of start the week thread but … I’m going to harp on a bit and re- post. The topic to hand is close to the hearts of many at the BBC – and my repeating is going to be one raindrop in the torrent of climate BS headed our way.
Definitely worth re-posting.
“WHO Staffer says climate lockdowns may one day be necessary to save the planet”
(excludes China of course).
Baseless! Marianna says so!
If you ask nicely you can cry on her shoulder.
Plenty of other places to cry, Jim…
Princess Marianna eh?
I daresay she’s had a few sessions fawning adoringly at Mr. Harrabin’s altar…
I’d start looking for typical Harrabin-ism’s in her copy….
Whilst there certainly is some 1984 type stuff in the ether I don’t see how lockdown as a response to a pandemic can be linked to that.
I think the bbc embues things with its agendas but I don’t think it or the government or anything would be that clever and organised re what you’re saying.
Just because some voices link this with solutions to climate etc it doesn’t mean this was all cooked up on false pretences -because just look at Brazil etc.
Lockdowns are coming and forever. It will be to stop Climate Change – the reason for the coup against Pres Trump.
Many cities are painting wide bike lanes in addition to bus lanes. The result is traffic chaos all round. Car only lanes are jammed at ine place while empty at another, as one cannot use an empty lane bus lane to go around a stoppage.
Meanwhile buses are empty as no one wishes to travel in a covid infected bus. And you are lucky if you ever see a cyclist.
This is just a manifestation of the realisation by the Masters that they can boss us around, and we will obey.
Our masters have to be stopped before they destroy the nation. The only way left is to vote for The Monster Raving Loony Party – the only sane party left.
tomo, Tucker should run for President in 2024.
He’s already said repeatedly that he’s not up for it. tbh – I feel that he’s probably better suited to a “consultancy role” for somebody like Ron DeSantis – that would put the wind up the Dems.
While he’s not to everybody’d taste and the advertorial for guns, pillows and VPNs grates a lot on occasion – Dan Bongino has a real handle on the central themes of US politics in a practical hands-on sense.
The serious Democrats and the serious swamp behind the procession of ghastly boobs that are out front of house are playing hardball and it’s past time that the opposition took that on board and returned a few hard volleys.
I see that “sue and settle” is making a comeback with the EPA and environmental groups and the corruption is absolutely epic
If you have not seen this – then you are missing out on a significant part of the picture in the US.
The DoJ and FBI are now weaponised for the Democrats and Big Tech and to Save the planet – of course.
Dinesh dSouza
Both influence the UK.

“Tucker should run for President.”
Can’t we get him over here? And Candice Owens, while we are about it.
9:30am I am assaulted by BBC Green agenda pushing again
A Doctor’s lecture about her campaign to get more Green POLITICS into the NHS
An item that begins with a Trojan horse of talking about a sick little boy Ahmed and helping him get fit by leaving his flat more.
It had the normal problems
: overstatement eg that the asthma that killed Kissigani was CAUSED by traffic pollution ..no it was probably made worse by pollution
: mixing up Climate Change and plastic pollution…they are two different things
If plastic is used properly it doesn’t create CO2
: The idea that green measure are Win/Win … Britains big electric prices due to green measures do a lot of harm
.. Veganism was pushed too
Whenever you read the words “the planet” you know you are reading nonsense.

There are already 182 episodes of the BBC LGBTQ Sports podcast
Seems the BBC is running a de facto LGBTQ radio station, as well as a black and a South Indian station
If the BBC can help bloat the perception that lots of “significant” groups are opposing the status quo, they will. It’s part of a plan to convince us all that we must be wrong-headed by pretending numerous splinter groups are actually the mainstream opinion.
Setting people against each other is an age-old tactic in an attempt to bring down mainstream society so the BBC will use it wherever possible be it by gender, race, immigrants, the regions etc. etc.
Interesting how there seem to be no obvious “Muslim” faces in the photo but then again, they are in a different BBC “tool box” I guess.
8pm R4 “Moral maze is discussing trans inclusion in women’s sport. They’ve invited 4 guests to speak
: Dafydd Mills Daniel, Joanna Harper, Debbie Hayton & Adam Wagner.
That’s 4 people born male; 2 transwomen and 2 men.”
The actual panel they will present to is
Melanie Phillips, Ash Sarkar, Tim Stanley and Matthew Taylor.
Joanna Harper is billed as a scientist who is trans
She already appeared on Woman’s Hour today
saying the science is not certain, so trans should be allowed in until proven otherwise.
People reply that is the wrong way around.
Trans, Debbie Hayton is on, cos she takes the opposite view to Harper.
I mention that cos as I looked at tweets to R4
very few were from their supporters
but there were 200 from people who all wrongly thought there are zero females on the Moral Maze
cos they don’t listen they don’t know the prog’ has 9 people
4 guests who present to a panel of 4 and moderator , which today has 2 women on
One way to kill this stupidity is to make all sports gender free. All of them. That is, be consistent in the logic. No male, female, binary whatever. Wimbledon, Olympics, football World cup etc., all open to all genders. In fact no mention of gender.
Make the choice for all awards “double blind”.
Up Yours Delours.
And same to you bBC
Happy Brexit Day
FIVE YEARS and we are still not free (e.g. NI protocol/territorial waters/fishing).
That was simply a referendum for the hoi. It wont be long before we are forced to undergo another referendum on the EU, and we will continue, till we come up with the right answer. A new generation brought up on Twitter, will take us Back to the EUSSR.
Up your C, BBC.
The joyous moment⌠(although not for the BBC)
After many hours of somewhat inconclusive results, the position was finally becoming clear by around 4am. It was about 40 minutes later when the BBC finally had no option but to call the result for Leave. A visibly-shocked David Dimbleby gave the news to the nation.
Relive the moment here
Now we are in our sixth year and still it seems we can’t return to our normal jobs and normal lives. Not only does Brexit have to be completed, but there are also the battles to be won on freedom of speech, the woke ‘cancel’ agenda, the return to normal policing and the proper application of the law, and ‘climate change’.
What a happy piece of video that is . Poor old dimbleby PLC looking Choked and the koonsberg looking like someone stole her ATM card and PIN number – great âŚ
I wonder why he mentioned 74, which was for a different organisation.
Great to see that again, The Island!
Makes my day again!
Can’t ignore the climate issue.
Why wasn’t this One Nation Day (or whatever it is called)?
10:48am -10:55am I am assaulted by BBC Green agenda pushing again
“Eco novels”
“Two novels – one published tomorrow and one just out in paperback explore the human impact of environmental disaster through the lives of girls and women.
They both ask – what is really important to us?
What lasts when everything we think we need is stripped away? ”
#1 Diane Cook : ‘The New Wilderness’
All nature has been destroyed except for one bit where a few humans live as hunter gatherers
#2 Kate Sawyer, author of ‘The Stranding’, her first novel
Ends up an an eco-apocalypse
main character lives in the carcass of a whale
Appears to an eco-lecture.
The preceding item was about Ugandan squatter women
with : Sostine Namanya of NAPE (National Association of Professional Environmentalists committed to sustainable solutions to Uganda )
The item was a way of saying “see this is what the Tory aid cuts do !“
Lovelock makes the point in his recent book that in hunter-gatherer societies, every individual needed up to 10 square kilometres of space to sustain themselves, which was completely manageable with the world population at those levels. I hope Cook’s storyline decimates almost the entire human population of the planet, otherwise she’s barking up the wrong (extinct) tree.
Here’s an idea for an Eco novel:
“The Name of the Climate-change-withered Rose.”
Boom! Boom!
Tweet from the person who often presents the R4 Media Show
… Not surprising to see, a beeboid is against government policy of getting school kids to celebrate British values
but NI is in the BRITISH ISLES right
and team GB includes NI right
stupid woman just playing with semantics to throw a few nazi slurs about, pathetic
Here’s one aspect of the recent rigged Iranian election the BBC aren’t talking about:
“Iran election set to intensify Christian persecution”
Hey, it’s only Christians being persecuted by the BBC’s favourite religion – who cares?
https://anglican.ink/2021/06/22/iran-election-set-to-intensify-christian-persecution/
I wondered what had happened to Rosie Millard.
I remember when she was BBC Arts Correspondent she did red carpet interviews at the 2001 Oscars dressed like this. She really came over as creepy and desperate.
Yes – if you are stupid enough to fall for the annual BBC âcharity â cons – you are paying this persons â wages as head of the Trust – sure itâs only the âmarket rate â for the âbest people ââŚ.
@ ÂŁ250 k plus package – my guess ⌠but happy to find out she does it for nothing ⌠or just ÂŁ250k expenses âŚ.
Just one person gets top whack at ÂŁ130k-ÂŁ140k according to the Charity Commission.
Oh well ÂŁ140k plus package – well worth it eh?
For God’s sake, don’t tell the Milibands, they may even be interested, although I doubt whether ‘banana-man’ will arrive back from the US for a 75% pay-cut!
I remember Simon McCoy saying she had her own ‘best supporting’ award.
So BBC are you a bunch of Climate Alarmist activists ?
Yes news progs have a “Daily Look at Climate Change” segment
Monday night’s âDaily Look at Climate Changeâ segment
âClimate change could turn bumblebees into picky eaters”
(something they read in New Scientist the sciency advertising mag)
“Temperature and humidity changes that influence the way flowers grow can make bumblebees picky eaters
â and climate change *could* make them even more so.
This suggests that rising temperatures could have an impact on pollination rates, which are already in decline.â
Spoiler : right at the end he admits âthe bees can adaptâ
⌠so there is no worry.
same R4 10pm news prog I just mentioned
June 15th ‘The World Tonight’ invented and promoted an inaccurate interpretation of the meaning of Jerusalem Day.
Looks like the BBC have finally got their âplod brutality â victim with the guilty verdict on some thick plod for manslaughter of a coloured mental ex footballer –
I donât do the BBC must so will read the wall to wall coverage – of âjustice â and the race industry in full flow over bad Whitee..
It’s a news story, not a sports story
but BBCSport go for a memorial
BLM supporters view
“only manslaughter
and only guilty because the police and Govt couldn’t cover this up in the wake of George Floyd”
I see India Willoughby has left GBN in a state of high dudgeon, having endured ‘nightmare anti-trans experiences’.
Will she pick up her bung from the Guardian in cash or kind, do you think?
Beltane – surprised this one has surfaced to quickly – Both Sky and the BBC must have sleepers in GBNews to surface as required for the hidden tape recording stuff in a big sunday paper expose –
Should have been more patient . First stop Channel 4 news ?
India Willoughby claimed she was the ONLY trans on GBN
and when people pointed out that it also aired a trans who is anti-trans-activism DebbieHayton, she then abused her
… https://twitter.com/DebbieHayton/status/1406755065948430338
Trans : Katy Jon Went (the banned artist) Miranda Yardley were also on GBnews
India Willoughby often has a slot on the Talkradio weekend breakfast show.
Stew – you in the fan club?
And I thought India was just an aggressive Woman……imagine meeting that in a night club after a few bevvies and finding out it’s got a d—-k …doesn’t bare thinking about !
Surprised its not on Women’s Hour as a host !

Interesting today murder didn’t stick, but manslaughter did
Vaccine Passport scam
We have been made aware of a Covid Vaccine Passport scam email going around that purports to be from the NHS and informs recipients that they can apply for their âDigital Coronavirus Passportsâ
Clicking on the link within the email, takes you to a convincing but fake NHS website that asks for personal and payment details. (for an admin fee)
They expect scammers will try to make more similar sites.
McCarthy Stone seem to think I might want to take my retirement in the company of ‘ladies of colour’.
So much for ‘white flight’! Where to go? Nigeria?
Gerald Ratner must be making an absolute killing somewhere as a consultant. (Apparently he is!).
They’re developing in a village a few miles from here, Jim, and their new cardboard matchbox-stacks are very suitable for minorities, it seems!
Not sure why… there aren’t any such people around here in parts of Kent – they’ve all gone oop North!
Maybe they buggered up their Photoshop kit, and changed the lens!
Earlier complaints on BBC pro-Scotch coverage of the football were of course quite legitimate, but perhaps we should be more aware of just how much spite, and juvenile spite at that, is involved in such bias.
If the BBC are covering the game, relative equality is used but if it’s ITV then the subsequent coverage is designed to annoy and diminish. That is petty enough in its own right, but things get really childish on the text page reports.
Click on Football Results and you’ll find last night’s matches have Scotland’s loss first and England’s win relegated to also-ran status. Worse still are F1 reports. After Sunday’s French GP in which Hamilton was outdriven by Verstappen, checking F1 text on Monday showed that Verstappen crashed out and Perez won – as he did, the week before at Baku.
If the BBC don’t cover an event, or have lost the franchise through prioritising absurd salaries it’s not news and doesn’t merit an update. Pathetic.
“UK denies Russia fired warning shots near British warship”
“The BBCâs Jonathan Beale, on board HMS Defender, says he heard shots fired but believed they were out of range”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-57583363
Why is he even allowed onboard a Royal Navy ship ?
The Day Today âitâs war â
Pity the false engerland team canât get Russia in the playoffs âŚ
Haha -Jonathan Beale âs last words ?
“Why is he even allowed onboard a Royal Navy ship?” To ensure maximum publicity for this provocative incident.
“Cuts not to blame for failures in rape prosecutions – Boris Johnson”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57582462
Is it possible that there are less rapes being committed, women making false accusations , or women changing their mind after the ‘event’ ?
I suspect that there will be a lot of false prosecutions to tick boxes, a witch-hunt even .
theres plenty of easy guilty targets in certain towns
if they could be bothered
Any one hunting rapists in those towns would be called out as “racists!”.
I note that mass rapes of White girls by the RoP dont happen any more. Thanks to the vigilance of the police.
“Government encourages schools to host ‘One Britain’ events”

We need less divisive diversity and more ideas like this.
Those people that hate this song and country are free to leave.
@FedUp2 you asked about deletion of posts
What you get at the Guardian so often, is that when someone replies disagreeing with the author
the comment is often just deleted.
That of course is not free and fair debate; it’s an echo chamber
BBC kind of leans towards that, eg moderators deleting some anti-wokist replies etc.
We shouldn’t be like that ..but rather the home of free and fair debate.
If I post a pic of Whoopi wearing a Kill-Trump T-shirt
– What we have here on this blog is sometimes people getting annoyed by replies to their posts
#1 say when the repliers don’t see it the way they do
But exchange of opinion is good and misunderstanding and misreading what someone has said is part of open debate
I don’t mind being corrected by someone saying it’s a photoshop
The other thing is some troll posts, which are not in a Good Faith way
but rather to deliberately SPOIL the debate, often turning up late
Firstly trying to get a “gotcha” but then doing seemingly to deliberately spoil debate eg throw out insults and accusations which provoke people to reply to them.
Often the false allegation/point can be answered but the troll doesn’t apologise, they just move on to attempt more disruption
eg When I posted about Wetherspoons and Kooparberg
He posted ‘Gotcha, this newspaper says Wetherspoons don’t sell Kooparberg’
That’s BS cos as soons as you walk in, you can see Kooparberg
One thing is that troll posts often expose how weak the lefty/lib worldview is.
eg2 when I made the point that a 1Km cubed iceberg melts it doesn’t raise the sea by 1Km cubed, like the same cube melting on land would
The trolls rushed in to say ‘Gotcha here’s an article saying an iceberg does raises sea level’
That’s a fake gotcha cos the raise is not a 1Km cubed rise, but rather a tiny tiny rise due to dilution of salt.
If it was upto me I would move Bad Faith comments to a sin bin thread or something so that they don’t spoil the main thread.
.
Basically that there is a big difference between
#1 replies made in Good Faith
and #2 replies made in Bad Faith .. from people trying to spoil the discussion
I find it interesting which subjects are allowed â comments â and those which never do . I can guess the subject .
I dont read any comments other than this site and the occassional dip into twitter – and would never never comment .
I went to a history talk last week
suddenly the speaker threw in a line
“The ancient Africans had great civilsation and great walls”
..so I later I asked him about the Simon Webb view
that although North Africa had pyramids like in Sudan and Egypt
there isn’t much in Sub-Saharan Africa just a couple of things like Great Zimbabwe, which aren’t as big or as old as media make out. (that’s the one I’ve been too. I lived in West Africa and South Africa and didn’t see things like Stonehenge or Roman forts etc.)
The speaker then confided that he used that line cos it went down well with school teachers, and that they’d be taught it by a wokist staff member.
He then went on to speak out at length about how his own specialist topic was misrepresented by woke warriors. That of course people 300 years ago weren’t 100% angels, but neither were the 100% monsters they are now made out to be.
Stew, there’s an African kingdom (that may be part of South Africa or adjacent to it) that is the world’s oldest ‘democracy’ of a sort. Cannot remember the name.
Anyone help out?
Side issue: I wonder how Grant, late of this parish, is doing?
Not wishing to be unpopular but….
Covid case rates today are 16.000 and the trend is upwards.
Hospitalisations are low but rising slowly and deaths ditto,
Question – what is the government’s actual policy on this?
Ignore?
Pretend it’s not happening?
Hoping for herd immunity?
My problem is that hope is not a strategy. If rates are going up, and R is above 1, what is going to make them come down? Or are we happy to let them rip?
Its good to see that the numbers of hospital admissions are not feeding through directly to the total numbers in hospital – in other words some are staying in but just for a short time and not transitioning into serious illness. And some death rate is clearly a price worth paying for the greater good of a free society.
But I just have this nagging feeling that we are kicking the can down the road and may have to have another lockdown rather than opening up in about 3 weeks time, when, unless something changes, rates will in the 30,000 range. Which would be bad news for many, especially those who play by the rules and have to pay the price for those who don’t.
That’s the problem with exponentials, one minute its nothing and the next its a crisis, and the space between the two is thin, and by the time you’ve stopped and thought about it, it’s too late.
As we have found twice. Big time.
That 16k figure fits better with some context. Which demographics are most affected? Locations? Shouldn’t be a problem to lock-down individual areas and let the rest of us get back to enjoying overpriced restaurants and cinema tickets. I’m assuming the 20k Indian visitors who pitched up here and spiked us recently didn’t all head to Devon and Cornwall….
Deaths are not rising fast.
The 7 day trend is not that steep.
This morning’s More or Less pointed out something like
the case to death rate is 1/40th of what it used to be.
Big jump in cases today, though Stew. Nigh on 50%. Now that, if it keeps going, is exponential.
@Up2Snuff never look at one day, and say that indicates a trend
.. always best look at the 7 day average
more that 50% of UK cases are in people from 10-30 ..mostly 20-30
so once their immunity kicks in their should be a drop in cases

Sluff
“Game changing Jab”? Also many, many people have already had Covid , a large proportion people didn’t even know it.
Over 5 Million people waiting for life changing operations .
Great responses from people.
But doesnât fill all the gaps.
Yes, it shouldnât be a problem to lock down individual area.
But it is, check out Leicester last year. And Blackburn now.
The 7 day trend is not steep. OK but itâs still up. Whatâs the plan to get it down? If there isnât one, could the government admit to it?
Taff. Totally agree. So why are we at 16000?
Maybe the strategy is indeed âweâre gonna let cases rip and rely on the vaccine to keep deaths low while we get on with the rest of our livesâ
Wouldnât it be great if someone had the bottle to admit it.
PS BBC news admitting BAME areas are vastly under-vaccinated. In Newham only 50% have had even one jab. Must be those racist whiteys again, and maybe the whole spike is due to our modern levels of vibrancy.
Sluff, someone needs to explain how the ‘Delta Plus variant’, a.k.a. ‘Nepal variant’ got into the UK. How many Nepalese visit the UK each year? I realise we have a home population of Nepalese, mostly Gurkhas, and their dependents but are they likely to have travelled to Nepal and then returned with the virus and not self-isolated/quarantined as required?
Sluff – the strategy is to hold off on lifting restrictions until a bigger chunks of the 20 somethings get their 1st jab plus the 2 weeks for it to kick in .
I donât pay as much attention to the vax numbers but I think daily numbers have been falling . I understand that those with covid bad enough to be in hospital are in the 20 – 30 range . âŚ
âŚ. The others affected are those who have chosen not to have the jab which Darwin would understand âŚ
“Cases” don’t matter. They are just used to scare us. What matters is the number of people who are ill.
