NHS Covid app alerts rise by 60% in a week with 350,000 people in England ‘pinged’ at end of June as Boris pleads with nation not to delete software amid fears MILLIONS will be doomed to self-isolation after ‘freedom day’
My wife got one of these this week for the first time despite hardly ever leaving the house. (Subsequently tested negative).
Strange that this has mushroomed in the same week as the “end of lockdown” announcement by Boris.
I am suspicious and I think we (and the Government) might be being played for suckers!
These “coincidences” are becoming very regular and I would like to know exactly who controls this app for one!
Now suddenly the BBC have as the main story on their website
“Positive Covid tests in the UK pass 5 million!”
Click the link and zilch backup…. just a load of other covid related chatter.
Way down amongst which is that 35 more people have died who had tested positive in the previous 28 days.
Any connection to my previous post maybe?
I believe that there is a concerted effort underway by the usual suspects to smash the end of restrictions.
They seem to want this nation on it’s knees.
I think a second body needs to be appointed to independently re-test batches of these covid infected millions if only to verify the results as it’s of so much importance to the economy that they are accurate, believable and viable.
“Channel crossings: Eighteen migrants found in lorry on Dover ferry”
“Nine were taken to hospital as a precaution, while the other nine were handed over to the Border Force.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-57736151
“the other nine were handed over to the Border Force.” The Pathetic Border Farce.
This, at the same time the people of Britain are subject to tough, strict border controls. As the Tory government is allowing this where are the rest of the Tory MPs ?
Does anyone get the feeling that the government is complicit in importing these people?
Constant agenda pushing by white middle class presenters
4pm R4 film prog guest was a Black film director
so the female presenter kept feeding him line
like ‘it must be awful to grow up not seeing PEOPLE LIKE YOU in film ‘
What do you mean ?
When I was a kid I don’t remember seeing many people like me in films ..I was short, ginger and poke a northern dialect.
Everyone in movies spoke with an American accent or London one, tended to be tall and good looking, rarely ginger.
Yet a good script & a good actor meant we could identify with a whole range of characters male/female/animal/ old/young/historic/complete-fantasy etc.
And I don’t think films were devoid of black characters ..there was always Ritchie Prior or Eddy Murphy etc.
I wonder how many people speak Welsh in Britain ?
How often do you see a Welsh speaker in modern mainstream dramas
Don’t we see Nigerians and Bengalis more often ?
“Actor and producer David Oyelowo
… why, thanks to raw data, streaming has lead to greater diversity of content and changed the minds of white film executives.”
He claimed that before WHITE executives asserted that the public don’t want to see black, and therefore no black actors got into movies
but now movies are put up on streaming
” we can see raw data proves the public CHOOSE the films with black actors”
Really ? AFAIK Netflix viewing stats are secret
https://www.looper.com/164533/the-real-reason-netflix-wont-share-viewer-numbers/
StewGreen,
“AFAIK Netflix viewing stats are secret”
They’re not secret from Netflix executives, Stew. That was the whole point of what he was saying.
Cinema ticket sales were not secret from executives before either
… when he claimed executives were merely making up the idea ‘the public don’t want to see black actors”
So what has changed ?
BTW one can say execs must believe wokeworld works otherwise they wouldn’t have commissioned the blackfied drama Bridgerton, but there are other drivers other than profit.
StewGreen,
“Cinema ticket sales were not secret from executives before either… So what has changed ?”
Prior to streaming platforms such as Netflix (if you can remember back that far) films would be shown in Cinemas with various costs for distribution and publicity. Only a relatively small number of films would make it into the multiplex giving audiences a very limited choice. “Black ” films weren’t included because executives thought they wouldn’t sell.
Streaming comes along, giving audiences a much wider choice and it turns out “Black” films do sell after all. So executives decided commission more of them.
See what’s changed?
“BTW one can say execs must believe wokeworld works otherwise they wouldn’t have commissioned the blackfied drama Bridgerton”
Bridgerton was commissioned in 2020. It’s seems to be quite popular and AFAIK the majority of the cast are white; yet still you insist in describing it as “wokeworld and “blackfied” (whatever that means).
But of course, you; “really do not care for dividing the world up by skin colour”.🙄
Maxi, Bridgerton is a blacki-fied drama, cos it takes the real British Victorian era history of stately home living and transforms it into a fantasyland where a large portion of the people were black.
That’s like making a Samurai drama where a large proportion of the cast are white Caucasians.
(it’s a free world producers can use their own money to make what they want)
You are right that PR in cinema era could influence box office takings.
But it’s the same with streaming
Perhaps Netflix chose to make the blacki-fied Victorian series knowing full well that BBC and medialand would give it mountains of free PR
.. whereas if it had been “authentic” it would not have got the PR
StewGreen,
“I really do not care for dividing the world up by skin colour but it is the lefty/lib establishment’s hobby”
StewGreen,
“Constant agenda pushing by WHITE middle class presenters”
4:30pm R4 science show
‘here we have these students in Iran or Korea that have invented these magic inventions that billion dollar corps haven’t’
That very much sounds like PR world not real world.

Dinghy invaders and the complicit government(s).
@UK_UNIFICATION
Seem @pritipatel @BorisJohnson have been busy with a massive upgrade at the docks in Dover, huge circus tent has been erected and satellite TV been installed
This is in addition to the new fences that went up weeks ago.
Steve Laws reports opaque blue fencing has gone up all around Napier Barracks so nobody can see what’s going on.
Apparently the Home Office are going to continue to use it – again with upgrades and lots of free stuff for the invaders.
There is no excuse.
We know why the bBC will not report this accurately (if at all).
What is GBNews’ excuse?
We have been invaded without the consent of the People of Great Britain.
Speak or write to your MP about it. It is a huge security risk.
Taffman
Totally agree with you…But have given up contacting my Tory MP , just get the standard reply ” Thank you for your email blah blah blah blah blah ! ” won’t be getting my vote ever again almost as useful as the BBC
Charlie Farley
Unfortunately my MP isn’t a Tory. But with the present lot in power it would not make any difference because we have a liberal PM disguised as a Conservative .
BBC local news … emotional blackmail item
..”Man who almost died of Covid from Feb to April
… says wear your mask”
…as ever they never mention where he probably caught it.
Final words ..which I bet were prearranged
..”Yes them NHS workers all deserve a big pay rise
.. they put their lives on the line”
… (actually most don’t)
Last week the prog reported the first new death in our TV region for 2 months.
And of course that man has no clue whatsoever whether wearing a mask would have stopped him getting it.
Tonight’s TV
9pm SkyOne Omesh & Rob Beckett vs British Olympic team
9pm ITV Princess Diana
9pm BBC2 RHS Garden Show at Hampton Court
9pm SkyOne Romesh & Rob Beckett vs British Olympic team
8pm BBC1 doco about 2008 transformed British Olympic team
ITV local news
almost all 10 items were about people watching the England football team.
The bbc / C4 went for the race issue with coloured players in England shirts – c4 even pointed out the ‘shame ‘ of the 1966 World Cup team all being white . C4 racism .
Also – the MSM doesn’t seem to understand that the Euros is not the World Cup ….
Typical C4: pathetic, illogical, Lefty drivel. Britain was > 99% White in 1948, when the Windrush people arrived. Their Black children, who would have been born here in say 1949-50, would have been 16 or so when the World Cup came around, so hardly likely to make a squad full of established professionals such as Bobby Charlton and Bobby Moore.
It’s well known that coloured boys are ‘good at games ‘ hence the gravitation toward footy . Muslims and Jews – not so many . BBC doesn’t really ask that question .
The BBC news tonight did a thing about Brent / wemberley – and how coloured people have bought into footy because of their boy -,raheem .
If only they’d just let things be and go colour colour colour . How many coloured footballers scored in the Engerland v Denmark game ? Answer – none .
Does that matter ? No – it’s a team .
Mustapha Sheikup al-Beebi,
“Typical C4: pathetic, illogical, Lefty drivel.”
Ok, here we go as usual on BiasedBBC. One poster makes something up; the next reacts with outrage, salivating like Pavlov’s Dog.
C4 News had a segment on how the country was different in 1966. It featured the London Smog, Beatlemainia, Harold Wilson smoking a pipe, (jumpers for goalposts etc) and everyone in the winning team was white…
There was no ’shame’ “pointed out”, or implied; either directly or indirectly. Just a matter of fact.
But I do apologise for spoiling your indignation.
maxincony you are on the wrong site .
Trolling on this site “you are like a one legged man in an @rse kicking contest”.
You do Al Beeb a dis-service.
Hello, Max. Always good to hear an alternative view.
Tell us, what are your memories of 1966? Were we up to our armpits in cliches? Not your fault if you weren’t around then.
I remember 1966. There were differences in life then, some of them significant. Mind you, I’m not saying they were better or worse, just different. England football supporters tended to wave Union flags then rather than the St George’s Cross, for example. Make of that what you will.
It would be interesting, Max, to hear what you do believe in, rather than just the sniping at us lesser mortals with narrower perspectives.
Square-Eyed,
“Hello, Max. Always good to hear an alternative view.”
Hello, Square-Eyed. I’ve not given an alternative view. I’ve stated factually what was reported on C4 News.
Neither am I sniping. Just pointing out that when Fedup2 put ’shame’ in Parenthesis he wasn’t actually quoting Channel 4; just his own imagination.
But it’s pretty obvious that anyone who isn’t a member of the cult isn’t welcome here.
It’s also pretty obvious to any non-cult member why not.
If Channel-4 point out something is ‘all white’ they are implying racism.
If you don’t appreciate that by now, you are stupid. Or a complete hypocrite.
Take your pick.
JohnC,
“If Channel-4 point out something is ‘all white’ they are implying racism.”
Any evidence to back up that claim, other than; “you are stupid”?
Same answer applies maxi.
Are you oblivious to the reputation of Channel-4 ?. It’s like the BBC without so many shackles.
Are you even English ?.
edit: Put ‘channel-4 bias’ into google then scroll through a few pages.
Might help with your ignorance.
JohnC,
“Are you oblivious to the reputation of Channel-4 ?”
I wasn’t asking about it’s ‘reputation’ or whether or not it’s ‘biased’. I was asking for evidence that; “If Channel-4 point out something is ‘all white’ they are implying racism”.
I’m still waiting…
Give up maxi. You’re making a fool of yourself.
Were there any smog pea soupers in London in 1966 ?
I thought that had finished a few years before that.
Last one was in 1962 apparently.
All fits in with the C4 narrative : what dirty racists we were. Truth is optional, just like Panorama.
StewGreen,
“Were there any smog pea soupers in London in 1966 ?”
It didn’t say anything about “pea soupers”. It mentioned there was much more air pollution which used to be referred to as “smog”.
You want a square go?
Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
maxincony , take note.
so only 24.8m left to go guys, keep up the good work.
New poling shows a majority of Americans (57%) believe that President Biden in not in control of the country and is unable to fulfil the requirements of his office.
What is perhaps more shocking of the dim witted Americans is that 51.7% of them actually support him still. That means 8.7% support a President that they believe is not capable of running his office !
There is also a poll which shows the majority of Americans support Donald Trumps action against Big Tech, and an interesting comment:
If you are supportive of Big Tech being able to cancel peoples accounts because it doesn’t like what they are saying or who they are saying it to, would you then also support the phone company being able to cancel someones phone line or mobile accounts for the same reason?
The idea is of course unthinkable and is a valuable question to ask those on the Left including tha far Left Tories who are planning to give Big Tech even more power to censor speech.
China is rattling sabres over Taiwan and Iran has announced it has enriched even more uranium in its quest to gain at least one nuclear weapon.
This is not the time for a weak and feeble leader like Biden.
Not that the BBC or MSM is going to be reporting it in this way.
Thoughtful
There really is a serious ignorance of the state of the false president . It will be a hell of a thing when he has to surface and face examination – even if the MSM won’t want to do it –
Obviously I’m thinking of a grave incident involving loss of life or similar
Do you wonder what the Russians and the Chinese think of it ? Do they know who is actually calling the shots ? They must both still be happy that The True President was deposed in a coup disguised as an election .
The sight of politicians of all types chasing to attach themselves to England Football – turn up at Wemberley – have to spend nearly 2 hours pretending to watch and understand the fellas kicking the ball about (‘it’s not as good as it is on TV is it ?)
Every year I get hacked off at all the publicity shots of the wealthy and celebrities alike who get to sit in the Royal Box at Wimbledon. Funny how the Left never seem to comment about this type of ‘privilege’ , and the same goes for football. Always the same shower who never struggle to get a ticket.
Brissles – the future Queen – Katherine – the – Great – patron of the All England ( not Scotland ) tennis club -was pictured in the seats not wearing a mask – but the kids acting as escorts had to wear a regulation mask .
The following day she has to ‘isolate ‘ because of some App thing firing off … unusual for the Palace to put her in a negative …
Personally I care less but the spin is the thing .
UK politicians are on record as telling us by 2021 we will have driverless cars.
Now they insist there is a big crisis and we need 90,000 new truck drivers
Surely in their world self-driving trucks will be available next week ?
I just watched Channel 4 interview a young American Climate Warrior who was saying that the Government, Big, tech and Social Media should treat US gas Companies like enemies and not give them any support or air time.
As they are regarded as targets now by these people, i f I were running the fuel Companies I would just close down tomorrow.
Let them freeze and halt all travel, cars , home heating, electricity supplies etc.
See how long that would last!

Did Biden’s earpiece controller stop working ?
His decline is speeding up. Very sad .
Great Britain’s security relies on this president.
Its very troubling . Very troubling.
Of course his recent behaviour is not covered by Al Beeb. But this clip from a video is . Some would say it was edited .
What do you think?…………………
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57770436
‘… saying that the Taliban force of approximately 75,000 fighters is no match for the 300,000 Afghan security forces.’
The poor guy is simply unfit to be President. The first things the Afghan soldiers will be doing is selling all their free guns on the blackmarket. No guesses for who will be buying them.
Now we will see the usual aftermath in Afghanistan. Thousands of collaborators will be immediately murdered. Entire regions will soon be under complete Taliban control and all those people we pretended to be helping will be left to fend for themselves. The Taliban will hate them for not resisting us.
There’s no point going into a war to fight with your hands tied behind your back. Either go in with a level playing field or don’t go in at all. The Russians showed us how to defeat ISIS. It was bloody and dirty but they are gone.
But what REALLY makes my blood boil about this is that the MSM – and especially the BBC – will only report what happens if it suits their political agenda. We will learn of 15 year old boys having to be the man of the house and girls who want to be doctors but can’t go to school. But we won’t be told about those victimising them because it shows us what Islam really is.
Meanwhile countless numbers are going to be murdered and people will live in fear every day. It will be like life under Nazi occupation. And the BBC will ignore it.
And of course next time we decide to go in, none of the locals will trust us. And I don’t blame them.
Some Taliban will seek revenge and get in here by the back door to terrorise us with bombs etc . All because of the totally useless Border Farce and Home Office.
Yup : we will let them in because of a picture of a young boy who drowned trying to get here.
What a shame they didn;t show us pictures of what those young people looked like after the Manchester bomb. Might give the woke some perspective.
Nail on the head JohnC.
Yawn..
Five day old story from the USA. Nothing to do with the BBC.
Its relevance to the BBC is that they won’t show such footage of Biden’s decline and continue to pretend he’s compos mentis.
Yup – an excellent example of the bias and dishonesty of the BBC. We should be thankful – it shows it clear as day.
Contrast it with the headlines when Trump was nervous walking down a ramp.
Stew: …Or did his brain stop working?
Putin must be laughing;
he is constantly probing the West and in Biden’s case he finds only mush. Which is why he ordered a massive cyber attack days after pathetic Biden warned him not to.
And be sure Iran and China are watching closely.
Confucius he say: strike when your opponent is a senile old git who doesn’t know what day it is.
Just for fun laughs and nostalgia !

Anyone with a camera can take shots like that. Many have done before, its merely promoting one of their own photographers. A mutual appreciation society .
With photographers like, why that does Al Beeb use so many ‘Getty Images’ ?

NHS Covid-19 app sensitivity to be reviewed
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57772515
I suspect that they know they have been rumbled and are moving quickly to shift the blame to the software.
This is software that has happily bumbled along for quite some time, so the question should be why it decided to go berserk the week following the announcement of a looming end to lockdown by Boris.
An internal NHS IT review doesn’t cut it, it needs to be established by an independent third party exactly how and why this happened. It could after all have major implications on the well-being of the Public.
Software log audits with date times etc. should reveal any tinkering and if so and assuming a rigorous audit process was in place which it should be at this level, reveal any changes and exactly when and possibly by whom.
If these audits are not in place, it reveals a shocking lapse of security practises.
Subbing like this makes one hark back to ‘mostly peaceful’.

What IS IT that these diversity idiots don’t get ???
It isn’t lack of diversity in rural areas that’s the problem, its the fact that those of colour prefer to inhabit and be entertained in the inner cities !!!
I’m only surprised that the BBC’s own programme “Escape to the Country” haven’t recruited bogus BAME’s to participate, just to even the balance up, because the number of non white couples who actually take part can be counted on one hand in the years the programme has aired. That should tell those barnpots something !!! Even using BAME hosts hasn’t helped.
I’m rural which is only a spit from well populated towns, where there are large communities of non-whites, but they are NEVER seen venturing out of their confines to take a walk or bringing their kids to the park. Maxi won’t like this, but the reality is we DO see cars parked up in secluded spots to do a spot of dealing – and they ain’t white !

Biden defends Afghanistan withdrawal
US President Joe Biden has defended his decision to withdraw forces from Afghanistan. American personnel pulled out of Bagram airbase a week ago, with their former Taliban militant opponents making advances around the country, and will complete their withdrawal by 31 August. Mr Biden denies a Taliban takeover is inevitable, pointing out Afghan security forces outnumber the 75,000 militants by four to one. “Just one more year of fighting in Afghanistan is not a solution but a recipe for fighting there indefinitely,” the president argues. Our correspondent, Lyse Doucet, says the president made clear there’s “not much the US could do, or should do, if Kabul collapses”.
As the last Nato troops pull out, the mother of a British soldier killed in Afghanistan asks what the sacrifice was for

Bookings surge after travel rules relaxed
It’s been a matter of hours since the government announced fully vaccinated travellers returning from amber-list countries would not have to self-isolate after 19 July. But there’s already been a surge in demand for flights and holidays, with budget airline EasyJet saying bookings to those destinations have increased by 400%. And while travel agents’ association Abta says prices “may well increase as more people book”, the Independent’s travel correspondent Simon Calder believes some fares would get cheaper as airlines and holiday companies add capacity – a view backed by the Which? consumer publication.

Declaration – I’m personally affected by the travel rules . I’m lucky – my job involves sitting at a screen so I can do it anywhere . I’m out of the UK waiting for conditions to improve
Such as not paying punitive fees for tests when I get back . Checking the boots site – the new changes will reduce test fees by 60% – and I might get away with a preflight test where I am £55 and a cheapo day 2 one when I get back £50? Or maybe cheaper .
I’m in a place with better conditions than London yet I will be treated as suspect when I return to a non Heathrow airport .

BBC cut paste
Disgraced US lawyer Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for attempting to extort up to $25m (£17.4m) from Nike.
Avenatti, 50, who represented adult film star Stormy Daniels in a lawsuit against President Donald Trump, was found guilty last year.
He shot to fame while representing Ms Daniels, at one point suggesting he might run for president.
On Thursday, a New York judge said Avenatti had become “drunk” on power.
Federal prosecutors alleged Avenatti met a lawyer for Nike in March 2019 and threatened to release damaging information about the company unless it paid him between $15m and $25m.
At the time, Avenatti was representing a client who ran a youth basketball league in Los Angeles. Court papers said Avenatti had threatened to say that Nike had made illicit payments to young players in the city.
The jury heard he had been at least $11m in debt.
Appearing for his sentencing in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday, Avenatti told Judge Paul Gardephe he had “lost his way”, betraying his values, friends, family and the legal profession.
“There is no doubt that I deserve to pay, have paid, and will pay a further price for what I have done,” he said, fighting back tears.ENDS

I just figured most not using the BBC for news here would be aware.
Meanwhile, guessing Sweeney! was not one of those calling for this to the bbc hotline?
This is called ‘Doing a Jon Sopel’ in p*sshead BBC hack circles….
@GW interesting find there
…More videos from that Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeiUqcOenPLlPkuP_5V1kvw/videos
Indeed. Quite the collection. Worth checking for edits though.
Not just BBC L or J ones.
Might be worth looking back on Americast archives though.
Nor does the law mandate national speed limit notices printed on car windscreens in front of the driver… treat us like grown-ups ffs! just saying!
The well-known creepy porn lawyer…
Worth asking renowned US political fact checker Springster how many ways and times the MSM has facilitated ways to ‘get’ Trump and come up blank, or… blown back big time oddly never mentioned?
Spoiler: you do need to be on her ‘nice’ list and not on ‘Wendy’s’ naught, mostly transparent list.
Maybe Ben Hunte and Marianna are ‘investigating’ this?
Probs a bit busy rummaging Getty images.
So Michael Avenatti the lawyer the media really really trusted when he represented pornstar Stormy Daniels as they did their smear campaign against Trump
… has now been found guilty of a large fraud against Nike.

Early morning rant ( so look away now )
Why do we ( I ) listen to the BBC – particularly Toady – it is one social problem after another – which always ends with a mouth wanting more ‘support ‘ – which google translates into taxpayer money .
Relentless – never a contrary view like mine – personal responsibility – breaking dependency on The State – reducing the Government .
Today – why is UK having more deaths of young people than – whatever – then stories of some thicko who started smoking at 14 – and no one said ‘don’t smoke ‘ – so blame someone .
If you are thick enough to suck smoke into your lungs and don’t expect bad thinks to happen – tough ?
But the BBC never judges or blames – people who do the wrong thing . It’s a liberal sickness …
Spot on, Fed!
Lefties just love ‘victims’, they’re the life-blood of their wish to steal from the people who actually create wealth, and dole it out to the feral, feckless, lazy wasters.
Because the BBC falls well below the normal standards of proper journalism, at least two of these adjectives apply, so the bar is lowered even more.
Comic strip stuff, but less funny.
I’ve decided it’s all about feeding their sense of moral superiority. Nothing else. They don’t actually care one bit about anyone but themselves.
Fed, you’ve stolen my thunder there! I only covered the first 40 minutes of TOADY before hitting the off-switch and heading off to start on the jobs of the day so I missed the latest whingeathon on behalf of a victim. Like London buses, there will be another few along in a while.
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – only on the web-site but not in the sport on RadioFlaw
On the web-site is that funny photo of a non-laser spot on Kasper Schmeichel’s face from the footie semi at Wembley on Wednesday. Rob and Gary, the famous Sport twins are either on hols or having a day-off (the BBC do like their days off but sports journos have to work weekends) and motor racing stand-in, Jonathan Legard, doesn’t mention ‘the laser incident’.
Nor do the newspapers on their front pages. Nor do Rick Nobinson and Simon Jack who as Beeboids are now forced to shine a spotlight on England and the English footie team.
Is it Brexit related?
I am surprised that the BBC have not asked that question.

The World to Come with the Guardian’s reverse cowgirls
Economics can appear a little off putting since we often see a tendency for people to deliberately jargonise and to seek to complicate matters.
And so it is this morning, as we read in the Times that the government have reaslised that their plans to further subsidise green energy production will make our consumer gas bills so high that they will have to subsidise them for us:
‘Payouts for families to offset green energy bills‘ – which would solve the problem that is in anycase of the government’s own making – if you’re one of those people who believe government money is fashioned out of whole cloth. (That’s a traditional saying and I’m keen to move away from over-worked idioms such as that famous magic money tree that has so taken root that its meaning has wilted)
When we read a female byline in the papers we tend to find she is invariably anxious about something: ‘Judith Woods writes features for The Daily Telegraph‘ – so what’s up this morning, luv?
‘How do I tell my Covid-cautious husband that I deleted the Test and Trace app? ‘ – Touché, it seems it is the bloke who has gone all anxious in this story. And to think the male chauvinist in me was about to tell our Judith to man up, luv!
I’m pleased to report she goes on to deliver a sound conservative message: ‘We may not always agree but people should be trusted to make a choice that is right for them – without being infantilised by the Government‘ – Bravo!
The Guardian brings us something of a new departure in cinema: ‘New Frontier. The making of a lesbian western‘
For some reason I’m reminded of an old rock and roll gag cracked by Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves: “I like guns… and I like roses… but I don’t like Guns N’ Roses”
I don’t know what sort of westerns the Guardian has been watching but in the traditional scenario the male hero tends not to get the girl anyway, strictly speaking the genre instead demands at the finale he rides off into the sunset.
Indie Wire informs us: ‘Mona Fastvold’s queer period romance “The World to Come” finally arrives following major acclaim at the Venice Film Festival.‘ – I have to admit the humourously suggestive title of this movie has me thinking this has to be a spoof.
But no, the Guardianistas ain’t no jokers and they are decidedly straight-faced about this gay movie: ‘The World to Come is a ravishingly beautiful love story set in 1850s America, with painterly visuals that nod to the work of Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent. I could stare at its dense forest landscapes all day, which is essentially what the film’s characters do‘
‘Katherine Waterston gives a moving central performance as Abigail, the farmer’s wife reeling from the death of her infant daughter and increasingly estranged from her husband, Dyer (Casey Affleck, underplaying to good effect). Life is drudgery, the winters are harsh and the closest she draws to Dyer is when he catches a chill and requires an enema made from molasses and lard‘
Perhaps here we ought to count our blessings in terms of modern medical treatments. If that’s the rednecked backwoods anti-vax prescription then you can jab me like crazy, Boris. One in each arm, a booster in the autumn… whatever you say, I’ll take it like a man.
In that old movie saying – let’s cut to the chase: ‘It is Abigail and Tallie’s fate to be, in effect, chattels in a nation claimed and carved out by men. The most they can hope for is a few stolen hours amid their daily chores. They make their own small America in the woods, out of sight, and then trudge back to their farms when the cows need milking.‘
I think we’d best head this one off at the pass.
Bring back John Wayne
Last one I saw the oddly easy to see squeeze turned out to be a fireproof alien who blew up near Virgin Galactic’s billionaire apogee ambition.
Wonder what a fact check on BBC Savile and McAlpine style activities ‘cost’?
Divide and rule.
Divide and repress.
Divide and subvert.
The normal currency of BBC news.
On Toady we hear that half a million- that’s a lot – very vulnerable people fear freedom day on July 19th. Cue BBC wailing.
OK – the individuals in question need to be considered.
But half a million out of a population of 65 million is a small proportion – well under 1%.
So my question to the BBC is….what about the rights of the other 99%? Do we not deserve consideration as well?
Admittedly some of us are straight whiteys, but that still leaves a lot of their favoured BAME and LGBTQxyz ‘communities’ to consider…..

TOADY Watch #1 – the BBC like rules, do the BBC. I wonder why?
Is it ‘cos that’s how you impoverish everyone who watches ‘live’ telly in the UK, BBC, and make yourselves rich? Rules: you must pay us money or no ‘live’ TV and definitely no BBC catch-up on iPlayer. Labour like rules, the BBC like rules. The BBC don’t like personal responsibility. They want rules. The Labour Party don’t like personal responsibility. They want rules.
And thus it was with Rick Nobinson in his prime interview slot with Grant Shapps MP, Secretary of State for Transport. Masks and rules about masks even though they do not work in Tokyo. Test and Trace and rules about the App and pinging for quarantine. Rick Nobinson wanted rules, not responsibilities. “What’s to stop someone deleting the Test & Trace app from their mobile phone?” asked Nick, also “What’s to stop someone ignoring the instruction to quarantine?” There you have it, Nick. Time for you to grow up a bit.
The BBC’s ‘Pinging for Quarantine’ might become more famous than Moore’s ‘Bowling for Columbine’. Or not.
On the previous page there are some comments about the state pension.
In the DE today they are still saying there’s an 8% increase coming.
They use the higher pension of around £180 p/w as their example but fail to mention the older second class pension which I believe is around £127 p/w.
To get the new pension you need to be at retirement age from April 2016
My guess is that maybe 80% + pensioners are on the old lower second class pension and the DE are using the new high pension to somehow have a go at pensioners even though only a small percentage are on the higher pension.
How can it be right that there’s a two tier pension with some getting almost 50% more than others if they were born after 1951 (or 1953 for wimmin)
It should be the same payments for all pensioners and not a lower one for those over 69.
EG
It’s not right . But if the Treasury can fix the pension system it will . I’m of the ‘don’t pay in don’t get ‘ school but I’m very unfashionable . …
Hi EG,
I entered the pension system at the crossover between the 2 pension types. As a consequence communications were sent to me showing what my ‘fund’ would have delivered under both the old and new systems.
I would have had the old Full pension plus around £70 pw SERPS.
Under the new Full pension I would get a pension around £30 bigger but lose around £30 of my SERPS to pay for it.
No actual difference at the time but as subsequent ‘lock type’ increases are applied to the MAIN pension (but not the SERPS which stays tied to the CPI) the MAIN pension of ‘new’ pensioners will tend to increase more quickly.
(e.g. £30 still in SERPS would go up about 0.7% pa but moved to the MAIN pension it increases by say 2.5% p.a)
Had I been due for ,say, £10 SERPS only pw the pension would have been increased by the government by a further £20 to reach the new pension level.
That difference you claim came out of the newly retired’s SERPS, Grad Pension or 2SP pot and re-applied to the new pension amount – it wasn’t an EXTRA unless you had little or no SERPS where the government made-up the difference of a max of around £30 per week.
Thanks Jazz.
All I have to go by is a letter I received shortly before my 65th saying I was entitled to a full pension.
I had worked since 15 and never was unemployed. I was paying NI for 50 years without a break. Now it’s 35 years to get a bigger payment.
I don’t know anything about serps and stuff but I think the 2 basic pensions are about £127 and £180 which is unreasonable.
Someone retiring in March 2016 would get about £50 per week less than someone retiring in April 2016.
Everyone should get the same basic pension and have to pay for the same number of years.
I don’t know why pensioners over 69 years don’t make more noise about this inequality.
Up2
I heard that out of personal interest . No wonder government politicians avoid Today as much as possible .
Robinson – who is a c word – no better description – goes off about the ping app and tries to get shapps to float some compulsion – with criminal consequences for deletion – and then Robinson can spout about a ‘draconian ‘ government .
Any one must see that HMG has a real problem balancing unlocking with increasing serious infections in the gap before the flu season ….
But c word Robinson – just playing Westminster bubble games . Be good if he had to isolate for a few decades .
Btw – anyone know anything about the 2021 flu virus – such as – is there one ? Just forward planning 3 months …
A minor issue perhaps but the BBC continues its headlong rush to the bottom- Paddy McGuinness is the new presenter of Question of Sport. Nothing against him personally but he needs to drop the northern buffoon act and he probably knows as much about sport as I do. The two new captains are BAME- no, me neither.
Winning against Denmark is proving to be a mini-Brexit re-run.
The European MSM united in condemnation of underhand tactics, accusing the English of double-standards while UEFA make the most of their ability to impose dubious fines based on commonplace events in continental football.
Meanwhile our Scotch cousins rail against the iniquity of it all, having been dumped out despite having the most gifted team in the comp. At least they will be looking forward to monumental piss-ups if we lose on Sunday.
The BBC is giving a huge amount of coverage to the death of Sarah Everard and her murderer.
Yet one hears very little of the almost daily gang killings and even less about the murderers.
I wonder why?
Vlad
The world at one had mark easton running through the list of metropolitan police ‘wrongs ‘ – including the’ institutional corruption ‘ of the investigation of a murder from about 30 ? Years ago .
I think the BBC should be careful about using terms like ‘institutional corruption ‘ – all I have to do is write ‘Bashir ‘…
Sky’s Extreme Weather Fairy Tale
An utterly absurd piece from Sky News, which the BBC would be proud of:
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2021/07/09/skys-extreme-weather-fairy-tale/
in Canada excess deaths from associated with cold weather amount to about 10,000 people year,
making Sky’s concern about a few dozen heatwave deaths seem ridiculous.

Guido : ‘hey remember JolyonMaugham QC’s GoodLawProject just failed in a Brexit court case’
And in completely different news
“ A QC has been hauled before the Divisional Court over a supposedly urgent legal challenge to Brexit at the end of 2020, with the court finding them to have diverted “limited judicial resources away from cases that did require urgent attention”. They escaped being referred to the Bar Standards Board by the skin of their teeth.”
And in this case the name of the QC was suppressed

Telegraph : Newly published research shows that only 25 under 18 year-olds died from* Covid-19 infection in a one year period.
* They probably mean WITH, not from
The chairman of the House of Commons media select committee, Conservative MP Julian Knight told The Times that it is “clear the BBC is haemorrhaging support amongst a significant proportion of the British public.”

Apologies to those that have already posted similar .
If just 10% of that number sign up to this petition then we have a chance of changing the BBC.
Hold a binding referendum on the future of the TV licence.
The TV Licence has been a cause of much concern to the general public over a long period of time with many petitions and debates taking place. The BBC say they are answerable to the general public yet the public get very little say into their funding, it’s now time to let the public have their say.
