    Just watching the men’s final at Wimbledon.
    Which once again seems to require significantly more ‘work’ than the women, for the same prize money.

    But In both finals I notice a surprisingly large number of international guests in the royal box.

    Have they all arrived from Iceland or South Georgia? I can’t help feeling they would have been unlikely to wish to endure the mandatory 10 days of isolation required for plebs like me.

    This evening the England football team will probably take the knee again, may they be forgiven. Fellow anti-racists should join in at home or else try one of these two variations.

    1) Taking The Tummy: everyone lies flat, face down on the ground. More contrite than the knee, and easier for victims to kick you. Respect!

    2) The more versatile, useful-for-any-grievance Taking The Nut: participants stand on their heads in symbolic acknowledgement that all their opinions about everything are the wrong way up. (Not recommended for footballers.)

    LEADING SCIENTISTS SAY: Ceasing to pay the BBC’s greed-tax protects against Covid and increases life expectancy by 27% on average.

      Ha ha ha, fabulous, Woody!

      How about some sort of secret handshake, a la Python? They could all line up back to back, and shake hands through the legs while humming a dirge, probably the Lohengrin Quadrille…

      The referee could conduct with a special beating stick, and the linesmen (linespersons), could do backflips to the tune as well!

      Or they could all just do a plank for five minutes, while we go and fetch another Stella…

    Well its the day we’ve been waiting for since 1966 an event I can just remember. But I cant watch it not if I’m contributing to sites like this and championing the cause of free speech whenever I can.
    The team no doubt at the behest of the sponsors take the knee in support of BLM no matter what the spin they put on it taking the knee represents your support for BLM.
    And don’t forget the BBC will have an audience of 15 million plus, somthing they could never achieve with thier woke programming so they will be pushing the agenda tonight. Just wait for the half time pep talk from them, look out for following buzz cameos / statements

    1. England men’s football team
    2. Racism
    3. LBGTQ sport
    4. Inclusiveness
    5. BME players supporting grass roots
    6. A women in a hijab marking out a pitch
    7. BME families supporting England
    8. BME children in England strip.
    9. BME Italian fans
    10. Europe

    So I do hope you enjoy im going to water my plants……I can hear the crowds in Halifax from here and as a rule of thumb the higher the police helicopter hovers over Wetherspoons the better England’s playing….

      I hope there are tens of thousands of BME kids in England kits we just don’t need the BBC making woke messages with our money to tell us that…… how about those in old peoples homes? However no woke points showing people who have worked all thier lives contributing to our social security systems who despite being cast aside by thier country still support and love it.

    Churchill was ‘no-platformed’ by our BBC back in the 1930’s.

    His predictions of war with Germany made the pacifist BBC uncomfortable and they refused his requests to appear on their shows.

    Churchill never forgot this.

    Former BBC reporter and executive Robin Aitken joins us for this episode of TPA Talks. Drawing upon his 25 year tenure, Robin discusses political biases, out-of-touch attitudes and waste of licence fee payers’ money at the Beeb, and explains why he thinks now is the time to axe the TV tax for good!

    ‘I’m delighted to say we’ve recorded another excellent episode of TPA Talks. Our research director Duncan Simpson had a fascinating and extensive discussion with former BBC reporter Robin Aitken. Drawing upon his 25-year tenure, Robin discusses political biases, out-of-touch attitudes and waste of licence fee payers’ money at the Beeb. He also explains why he thinks now is the time to axe the TV tax for good!

    His comments about former BBC director generals are particularly eye-opening. Robin argues that “the rot really set in [at the BBC] in the 1990s under John Birt and under his successor [Mark] Thompson.”

    He explains that Thompson did something “unforgivable” by inflating executive salaries to a “ridiculous level”. Indeed Mr Thompson’s remuneration was £834,000 a year at one point.

    TPA web page (Tax payers Alliance) strongly supports ‘axing-the-tax’ TV license. read more.

    In this TPA newsletter (worth signing up to) is the failure of another Labour stronghold going totally bankrupt (Slough). Not that the BBC will be much interested in reporting that.

    BBC annual review 2021: the good, the bad, and the ugly

    The BBC annual report is out, which means another slew of info on the pay for top bosses and stars. As I write this week there is good news, bad news and the downright ugly.

    The good news is the Beeb has finally taken note of our long-running campaign and started to reduce the bumper wage bills. In our BBC Rich List 2020, we revealed Auntie’s stars and executives were receiving mega-salaries, with 253 senior staff costing £37.5 million and enjoying incredible expenses…

    For the bad news, you have to dig a little further into the figures. Median earnings across the BBC were £45,900 in 2020-21, a pay rise of 1 per cent. It is still almost double the median earnings in the North East of England and 78 per cent higher than median earnings across the UK (£25,780).

    And that during a PENDEMIC (during furlough where they worked from ‘home'(s) – BBC have more than one ‘home’ on those kinds of saleries, bonuses all round.

    The Good, the Bas and the Ugly… such as Tim Davie on £1/2 million (taking over from Lord Hall spot at the top job BBC). Bias continues in all areas with no ‘actual’ savings in sight. Just pay increases across the board… And unbelivable ‘expenses’ they get away with… still!

    Hip 4 star Hotels!, Woke Conferences!, Fine dining!, Private diners!, top restaurants!, First class international flights! Perks!, Top Pensions! Free travel and cabs! what’s not too like?

    Well, we played quite effectively for 20 minutes of the first half.

    After that, Southgate’s management skills were not much in evidence, least of all his substitute timing – and selection, as the penalties embarrassingly showed.

    Knee’d in the groin.

    If any of you play bridge you will understand this. Gareth
    Southgate would find it hard to make 3 no trumps with
    27 points. Mancini could make the contract with 21 points.
    England’s most gifted player Grealish doesn’t come on until extra time
    and the Piccadilly line man brings on two players just to take
    penalties ,and they both fail. But never mind we are by far the best team in the world at prostrating ourselves and taking the knee for the BLM organization!

      England relied on finesses once too often.
      Unfortunately.

      The BBC keep harping on about ‘our young lads’. Hell they earn as much in a week as the Prime Minister, Head teachers, Hospital Consultants, earn in a year. No excuses. They bottled it. On their money, no excuses. 34% possession. Pathetic.

    An evening of Netflix and a good single m, I switched over to see the result, which wasn’t in the least bit surprising. After decades of listening to the media ‘big up’ England in the days beforehand, then come the excuses when they don’t deliver, and so it is again.

    No knighthood for Southgate then.

    Gutted about my country losing the Euro final.

    But when Marcus Rashford, client of the RocNation management agency, misses a penalty, and those that keep taking the knee lose, i realise that there is a God.

    By tomorrow, the race baiting will be back in full flight and pride in your country will be back to being racist in the eyes of BBCLabour.

    How will the BBC spin this? Black players triumph through BLM?

    The coming football season will be interesting.

    England can take a lesson from this.

    If you’re going to preach to a nation you need to be better at your day job to retain any credibility.

      Dover,

      I’m not trying to be a smartarse, but somebody might pull you up on this.

      Two of the Italian starting 11, Emerson and Jorginho, were born in Brazil. They moved to Italy to pursue their football careers and then took Italian citizenship. As did centre-half Toloi. He played in one of the group games.

      So, I agree it’s not obvious, but you’re not quite right on the immigrant bit.

        While we’re on the football, plenty of excuses are being made for why the English penalties were saved or missed, the main one being that the three players who didn’t put theirs away are all young and inexperienced and were up against a much more experienced keeper, a seasoned pro far more used to dealing with the pressure of such occasions.

        The thing is they all have in fact plenty of experience of playing professional football in high-pressure games, and are generously, some would say obscenely, well rewarded for doing so. Rashford, Saka, and Sancho all play regularly in the Premier League or the Bundesliga and also in European club competitions, all have played in major club cup finals, and all have represented England in international and tournament football, from Schoolboy-level up.

        Age-wise Marcus Rashford is nearly 24, Jason Sancho is 21 and Bukayo Saka is 20 in a couple of months. All admittedly young men, as are much of the rest of the current England squad. Saka isn’t even the youngest, Jude Bellingham has just turned 18. The “seasoned” stopper in the Italian goal who saved 2 of their penalties, Gianluigi Donnarumma, playing in his first international tournament final, was 22 in February.

        Find another excuse bBbc. Oh, hold on a minute. Not quite there yet, but they’re working on it.

          And they even managed to drag George Floyd’s name into it !!.
          I wonder how much of the abuse was actual racism or they class it as racism because they are non-whites getting criticised by whites.
          We will never know – the mildest of references to skin colour are termed racist abuse now and the specifics not given. Same as patting someones bum is just referred to as sexual assault.
          Labels are the weapon of choice for the Left. Hence why they have redefined so many unpleasant words to fit the purpose.

            Have a look at the names and profile pics of some of those who are giving Saka abuse.

            Malik? mohd is Mohammed isn’t it?

            All such racist abuse should be condemned but it really isn’t just as black and white as the bBbc and the likes would have us believe.

              The most racist people I have ever worked with or witnessed was in a software team in Derby. 50% were Muslim and clearly hated whites.
              A Seikh was friendly with us all and even cooked food to bring in and share. The Muslims absolutely hated him and he told us they had an extremely derogitary name for him which meant ‘friend of white people’. One even had to be held back by his friends from following him to the car park to beat him up.
              But they are bulletproof. They can say anything they like in their own language. And it’s this hypocrisy by the likes of the BBC who want them as victims which disgusts me beyond words.

    As a simple game of football, I wanted England to win.
    But I’m glad they didn’t because I simply cannot stand stand the torrents of bullsh!t we are subjected to by the media.

    What is interesting is how completely locked-down the footage is.
    I went looking for Saka’s penalty and all I could find was some ridiculous Sky program where we watched a black guy watching a screen we couldn’t see telling us what was happening. For a penalty !.
    This is why I have no interest in the game. Every single part of it is about one thing : greed.

    What happened with the ‘taking of the knee ?’.

    ‘Positive Discrimination’ would have meant the Italian goalkeeper having one arm tied behind his back for Sakas penalty.
    That would have been a visible example of just how outrageous and racist it is. What a shame the wokerati are too stupid to realise.

      What a shame I didn’t put more money on Italy . To achieve what they did – at Wembley – in front of a huge hostile crowd – shows their pedigree .

      Meanwhile the England Team will all be awarded knighthoods and the George Cross . People can be proud to say ‘I was there when the PC manager and his kids screwed it up … “

      At least the BBC can revert to hating Britain again … and time for happy Scots to pipe up…

      I got sick of hearing how the “England team doesn’t have the baggage of previous teams “ – they have now …
