Seems like the mythical TV detector vans are going to resume targeting the over 75s who haven’t got a TV Licence . The BBC is happy to induce fear in the elderly when it suits them .Remember – TV Licence inspectors have no additional powers compared to any citizen .

Leadbeater complains the other side were dirty
Yet her own poster was a dogwhistle that shouted
“Boris is with the Indian PM, he’s a friend of Hindus not Muslims”
I’m quite surprised that tribalism won through – albeit via a split non Labour vote.
Not being there means one has to guess at what played to the voters.
I do feel though that we should, at an absolute bare minimum have more information on the absentee / proxy / postal vote numbers directly in the declaration as it’s very clear indeed that those are viewed as important targets by the assorted runners and riders…. The numbers must be available to the returning officer – they should be published.
Anybody fancy FoI-ing Kirklees Council for the availability of the numbers? – anybody know if they’re obliged to serve up the stats?

A disgraceful poster pandering to the prejudices of the Moslems. Of course Leadbetter’s dirty ticks poster is no doubt fine for the likes of the BBC. Personally, if they are Boris’s views, I think they are far preferable to David Cameron’s ‘Islam is a religion of peace’, which was quite patently rubbish, and I doubt it brought him one extra Islamic vote.
I hadn’t realized just how much power the BBC wields. They are even able to get William and Harry to unveil a statue of Emily Maitlis; at least that’s who it looks like.
Ronald Reagan said in the mid-70s – “If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.”
Sounds are coming out from France that President Macron is getting tough on Wokees & wokeness ?
Something I have not heard coming from our so called ‘Tories ‘.
Nowt on Al Beeb yet?
I think President Macron has been taking notes from this site, what say you?
Note: We still have a teacher in this country who in hiding fearing his life, because he used cartoons in his school lecture.
What ever has happened to Freedom of Speech ? A question for Al Beeb to answer .
Macron won’t be getting tough on anything for very much longer…

🏳️🌈 Everyone’s story of coming out is different.
For some it’s an anti-climax for others a long, sometimes traumatic journey.
You have to do it at your own pace.
Four young people talk about coming out, on Tricky, a podcast about the big issues.
https://bbc.in/2UgDx7E
I dare say nothing on the BBC…..
https://order-order.com/2021/07/02/labour-slough-council-declare-bankruptcy/
So here we are, dafydd, barely 3 months into the new financial year, and the budget set by the Executive of a local council has pretty much been ripped apart at the seams already…..
When the hell will the British public get it through their noodles that public sector managements are just utterly hopeless, and the CFOs (Chief Financial Officers) and the CEOs (Chief Executive Officers) should be forced to resign immediately when this happens – without any financial package whatsoever – for sheer incompetence and fraudulantly claiming any expertise whatsoever.
NHS authorities are just as bad as, if not demonstrably worse than, local councils (mainly left-wing controlled, although Tory-run bodies are not immune to this), as they regularly run out of money well before the end of the financial year…… and how many of the ‘worthies’ at the top of these organisations wind up with ‘gongs’, compared to those who are tarred and feathered and run out of town (if only…..)?
And, of course, the only solution that occurs to these dick-heads is that they need to be given more money by the taxpayers, never mind about living within their means…… and as for actually saving and properly managing the vast amounts of cash they get …. when did we ever hear that possibility being considered ?
It is precisely because they get away with it, time and time again, that these farcical events continue to happen.
As well as that, the BBC is a classic example of a ‘public’ body living way beyond its means, because they have discovered how to access the mythical money tree – and woe betide any government which decides to take on this monolithic behemoth.
So, don’t expect to see any ‘Panorama’-type investigations into the sheer incompetence, if not downright criminal behaviour, of these heads of public sector organisations.
Philip Green, Greensill Capital, Gupta…. to name but a few – sheer amateurs – in the public sector you can get away with this as often as you like – the underlings are just sitting there waiting their turn at the trough – not interested in getting rid of those at the top today.
There may be councils who the electorate and the Councillors think are Conservative but the people who work there are left of Jeremy Corbyn. They think the Councillors and the electorate are a nuisance and the council workers do exactly what they want.
Vote Labour, go into the red!

Joe Lycett walked off in a strop after being called out for having a plastic bottle despite saying he’d ditched single use plastic..
Channel4 daytime
The next day he says
‘ah it was a cunning plan
I wanted to raise awareness of PET drinks bottles
so I pretended to storm off
so people would talk about it’
paraphrased from .. https://twitter.com/joelycett/status/1410917298253225985
video … https://twitter.com/AndyBarnett787/status/1410580794305884161
BTW AFAIK his science is wrong
clear plastic is difficult to recycle back into CLEAR bottles
cos it gets contaminated
Yet it is easy to recycle it into coloured plastic by adding dye.
Glass bottles are bad cos they cause big transport CO2
and big recycling CO2
All waste plastic can safely burnt in high temp incinerators to make energy.
according to The Guardian – we can feed waste plastic to cows….
I don’t think we’re allowed to have cows, any more…
In the 60’s when I worked at a Pfizer plant in Kent, it was rumoured in the scientific development department, there was a cow with a plastic side, so its eating habits could be monitored.
How did it fit through those security gates, Brissles?
When we used to visit the services people, they had security turnstiles like The Bank of England!
And we wanted to buy the Hoverlloyd site, and the council stamped all over us, so we made an excuse and left…
I used to love East Kent too…
There was a sheep in the basement of the Agriculture Department at Newcastle University in the 1970s. She had a large rubber bung directly into the stomach to take regular samples at timed intervals after she had eaten.

It does snow most years, but only a little and only on about 2 days normally.

11am slavery series
Chidi grew up in London, and learned at an early age that he was descended from a late 19th Century Nigerian slave trader called Nwaubani Ogogo.
He describes how he came to terms with this and the impact racial stereotyping has had on his life, while his history takes us back in time to a moment in the aftermath of the abolition of slavery, when his ancestor still had a license to trade enslaved people.
The rush for Africa was beginning; Britain had turned its attention from the slave trade to palm oil.
Nwaubani traded both, and was licensed to a British Corporation.
British businesspeople were desperate to gain access to the palm oil which Nwaubani sold.
One man in the North West of England had been trying to strike deals in Nigeria – he wanted to be able to control production and prices himself – and his company would eventually buy the corporation which was licensing Nwaubani.
But in the meantime, he turned his attention to the Belgian Congo where King Leopold offered him everything he wanted. The man’s name was William Lever – whose company, the Lever Brothers, would eventually become Unilever. Famous across the North of England for his philanthropic endeavours, students and alumni at the school re-founded by him – The Bolton School – are just coming to terms with his legacy.
Not technically slavery, but not free labour either.
OK The Nigerian guy that actually traded slaves = GOOD
The British guy not using slaves = BAD
“My great grandfather Nwaubani was so esteemed that, when he died, a leopard was killed, and six slaves were buried alive with him.
My family inherited … the chains of his slaves
,… my father took me to see the row of ugba trees where Nwaubani Ogogo kept his slaves chained up”

TWatO Watch and BBC Pismronunciation Watch #1 combined
Kim Leadbeater’s name causing the BBC a few problems today. Then there was Kirkcudbright and Kirkcudbrightshire on TWatO receiving a mangling from Ed Stourton, standing in for the Montacutie. It set up the next item nicely though with a lass from the town explaining how to pronounce it correctly. Maybe the next stop on TWatO’s holiday tour of GB&NI will be Happisburgh in Norfolk.
I guess Yorkshire folk would say Ledbetta rather than the BBC’s non-Salfordian Leeedbeeetter.
In her own PR video she says “LedbEAter”

LOL x 5! ***** Gold ones.
If England fans had confined their boos to knee-takers and not so continuously and volubly insulted their opponent’s national anthem, it’s quite possible that seven out of the eight officials for the match against Ukraine would not be Germans.
Schadenfreude springs to mind.
While watching GB News at 16.10 a hero came on. The previous person had been the usual pro climate change fool. Then along comes Danny Kelly, a used car dealer from Walsall. He said no one wants electric cars, who can plug it in from the 10th floor of a council flat. they want cheap driving with good constant use. He pulled apart the new e10 petrol rule coming in shortly, which will effect the petrol cars before 2012.
A breath of fresh air, well done GBNews
Watch the full interview with used car dealer Danny here:
3 minute version
“They don’t give a damn about carbon footprint, they just want to get around town”
Used car dealer argues people just want cheap reliable cars that are cheap to tax rather than eco options.
… https://twitter.com/GBNEWS/status/1410986446073237507
Danny Kelly on GBN was followed by Graham Stringer MP, an old school Labour man who spoke at length to impart sound, balanced, reasoned and genuinely heartwarming common-sense.
And to his even greater credit, he’s the sort of Labour MP who stands no chance whatsoever of being interviewed on the BBC.
Stringer has always been with the climate skeptics.
Talking of sheep in the department…

“BBC removes Bitesize page on climate change ‘benefits’ after backlash
Study website made claims including warmer temperatures ‘could lead to healthier outdoor lifestyles’”
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/jul/02/bbc-removes-bitesize-page-climate-change-benefits-backlash
“Stuart Lock, the chief executive of Advantage Schools trust in Bedford, said the advice was “flat wrong, doesn’t align with the national curriculum or exam specs, and needs reconsidering”.
“Climate change isn’t a ‘both sides’ argument,” he added.”
“Extinction Rebellion’s south-east group said: “GCSE students, young people, those facing future disasters, deserve better than to be judged on questions which warp and distort the truth.”

Dr Caroline Johnson Conservative MP for Sleaford and North Hykeham
points us to a Lincolnshire consultation
I have concerns about the emphasis being placed on the use of windfarms in the newly released Central Lincolnshire Local Plan. I believe there are far more impactful and less intrusive ways to facilitate a move to carbon net zero in our county, including supporting the offshore wind sector, low energy homes and encouraging the use of cleaner technologies.
Windfarms cause both noise and visual pollution, have a known detrimental environmental impact on local wildlife, and can often have an intermittent functionality inland. They could cause interference with some radar signals in low flying zones, which is an important safety issue, given the RAF presence in Lincolnshire.
I would encourage those with similar concerns regarding windfarms to submit their comments to the consultation on the plan, which is now running for 8 weeks (from 30 June to 24 August 2021).
