It appears that a bunch of people fed up to the back teeth with Drakefords power-crazed grip on the Welsh public rolled up outside his house to vent their frustration.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-57963035
Drakefords predecessor Carwyn something or other rallied behind Drakeford saying it’s unacceptable and “the sort of thing we see from the far-right in the USA”.
I think if you check your facts Carwyn you will actually find that the people prone to this in the USA are virtually 100% supporters of Antifa or BLM along with motley climate or green activists so far-right behaviour is just a lie. However we have come to expect this sort of sleight of hand from the left in this Country.
I suppose it was a reptilian attempt to falsely equate these pissed off Welsh people with Trumps “violent armed mob” who allegedly tried to “storm” the capitol by walking calmly and peacefully through the front doors.
Maybe Drakeford should have found the balls to go out and talk to them instead of circling his left wing cronies around himself.

He said “We’re talking about a very small group of people who are on a different planet to the rest of us.”
Did he similarly condemn the protesters at Trump Tower
and at Trump’s Key Largo estate.
As a rule protest at someone’s home or business
is intimidation
though if the person themselves is using the building at the time to make a political speech, it’s OK.

Or perhaps Carwyn Jones, who had to stand down as Welsh First Minister after allegedly covering up bullying within the Labour Party in Wales, the tactics are similar to those already used here against politicians and their families while at home by far-left arseholes like Ian Bone.

Beeboids ,
I put the radio on and you were on about Taking The Knee and BLM , again .
Now look BBC children , when everyone was watching the England match versus Italy , they were watching the players , the England team and cheering all of them on .
They weren’t thinking ; now a white person has the ball , he passes to a black person who passes back , the white person makes a break up the field but is tackled by a black person who gets the ball and passes it to a white person who just can’t quite stop it going over the touch line. A black person takes the throw in and a white person does a fine header down the pitch where a mixed race person neatly touches it past the white goalie into the net .
They watched the match colour blind. You don’t .

I heard a little of this Radio 4 programme about taking the knee. Apparently it is all related to kneeling in prayer and relationship with G-d. Kneeling hasn’t anything to do with support of Marxism, or at least in the part I heard. But I didn’t hear it all because I switched off but I would be delighted if someone corrected me.

The players kneel cos they support BLM, and kneeling is a BLM symbol
They had BLM on their jerseys the first few times they did this gesture.
It is not to do with black sports stars kneeling for the national anthem
nor MLK kneeling in 1963

I doubt the BBC will report this, or if they do they’ll distort the facts.
Hatun Tash is an ex-muslim, now a fearless Christian evangelist who often preaches at Speakers’ Corner where she exposes the numerous fallacies and inconsistencies of islam.
She is usually heckled aggressively by the jihadi mob who have all but taken over what used to be a bastion of free speech. On many occasions she has been assaulted and beaten up; and more than once has been arrested by Cressida wish-I-had-a-Dick’s goons.
Yes: SHE was arrested, not the violent muslim thugs who threaten and attack her.
Well, now the Religionists of Peace have just ramped up the violence a notch by peacefully stabbing her in the face and arm.
(Incidentally, the man presenting the video is a scholar called Dr Jay Smith, who, along with other Western scholars, is unearthing facts about the origins of islam that will rock it to its core. Naturally, he, too, often receives death threats.)

The Met Police are so weak they describe the stabbing of a Christian woman by a Muslim man as “assault”.
“Assault ” like f*ck
… Premeditated racially aggravated attempted murder . I’ve corrected it for you
I actually think some nutter was not trying to kill her.
If he wanted to kill her she would have had even more significant injuries.
What one would expect to see is the usual Muslim blue ticks expressing concern for her and apologising for the guy.
will that happen ?

‘..minor slash injury to her head…’
FFS watching the video of the attack, seeing the energy of the attacker’s arm, the closeness of the head wound to the eye, ANY nutter who does something like that deserves to be prosecuted for attempted murder.
The mealy-mouthed police representation of the assault is evidence of their uselessness.

It’s so terribly predictable isn’t it. In last week’s start the week I guessed it would all be the right wing’s fault, and lo and behold a supposed m*slem hostage video turns out to be made by righties ( as is often the case dontcha know).
As a rule of thumb any programme that constantly switches between two or more time lines tends to be rubbish trying to hide plot fault lines, and any script that includes “ beyond your
pay grade “ or words to that effect has been written by an idiot; Baptiste contained them both.

Another week of GBN . I don’t watch the day time stuff and can’t comment on it. I use the GBN app and watch on you tube the shows I’m interested in, Oliver, Dolan, Wootton, Farage and Doyle. I think that they are good and certainly give a very different slant on events to anything on the MSM. This difference is emphasised by the occasional guest of the liberal Woke persuasion who look very uncomfortable with what is being said.
Of course they don’t take up the cudgels about Islamification or the legal mass migration but they are having a go at the channel invaders. They are giving the Woke brigade a good battering and H&M get roasted and they have very clearly had enough of lockdown, masks etc. They also give plenty of stick to the BBC and knee bending is an anathema.All in all I think they have made a good start and their audience is mainly on line , not linear TV as they refer to the stuff you need a License for, and the numbers are good.

GB News do seem utterly compliant with the official line on vaccination, and in that respect are just another of the MSN. It would be good to see just one being brave enough to step out of line, even if only for the sake of an informative debate, which we shall never have on the good old BBC. Eventually reality will break through and the two worlds will collide; a shame if GBN will be seen as having been on the wrong side.

Peaty hasn’t lost this distance in more than seven years, has broken the world record five times and is the only man to have ever swam it in under 57 seconds. “When it comes down to it I am not racing for a time, I am racing myself,” he said after his win at this Games. “This victory wasn’t mine, it was the British team’s and my family and friends’.” This win is another step towards his ambition to achieve sporting immortality, or Project Immortal, a theoretical swim so good it’s almost inhuman, one that will never be beaten. Double Olympic gold-medal winning swimmer Rebecca Adlington told BBC Sport: “He is just phenomenal. We aren’t going to see many Adam Peatys in my lifetime.

We live in a complex world, so I tend to glance at a post and if I don’t understand it I just skip on.
However here I’d already seen that Twitter thread
but for me it had been framed
“Bandwagon jumping, MP trying to set explanation to fit an agenda.”
Unfortunately @GW had posted the reply first
Actually the thread begins with
#1 Labour MP jumping on the Climate Bandwagon
‘oh we’ve had a bit of rain, Climate Change action is needed’
#2 in the replies lot of people called him out
‘ You don’t need to fix Climate Change
.. you need to fix the drains”
#3 Then we get other Labour factions piling in against the Labour MP
That’s the Aaron Bastani tweet saying
“Why did you vote to expand Heathrow in 2018 then? ”
#3 Then the Silverton tunnel activists pile in with a dig against Labour & Sadiq’s hypocrisy
‘ You Labour claim to be against more traffic and road building, yet you’re promising to build this new tunnel under the Thames
I guess @GW’s ultimate point is that other people do call out Labour’s climate hypocrisy, but the BBC doesn’t.
It shields Labout.
Now putting the black swimmer tweet in the same thread is unfortunate
cos that is a completely different issue
The way the media construct stories to frame black people as victims cos of their skin colour.

Our excitable media will have you know a few sunny days in July was a heatwave, so now obviously a bit of rain must be something out of the ordinary: ‘St James’s Park was among London areas hit by the worst flooding in decades after torrential rain and thunderstorms‘ (Times)
Not the best substantiated of world record claims, I think you’ll agree. I wouldn’t trouble the Olympic committee with that one even it wasn’t wind assisted. Couldn’t the Times just say it rained a lot yesterday in London where they’re based and here’s a frontpage pic of a young lady in a raincoat, who for reasons best known to herself and the photographer, decided to wade ancle-deep in a puddle in the park.
The Daily Express also brings us a picture of a lady on the frontpage. Not so much a Dr Foster went to Gloucester story this one; more of a Cindarella bags her Prince Charming fairy tale – albeit he’s a bit long in the tooth and although our bride is hardly barefoot the groom is properly well heeled: ‘Diana’s niece Kitty, 30, marries billionaire 62‘
There are those who claim women don’t do comedy. We certainly remember instances when they have – Caroline Aherne’s comic persona Mrs Merton to Debbie McGee: “So what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?”
So of course women have a sense of humour.
However, the Times delivers a timely reminder of what that Iranian mullah once told us – islam doesn’t have a sense of humour: ‘A popular Afghan comedian was among several people summarily killed by Taliban forces‘
BBC talent scouts missed their man there.
Getting back to that society wedding, the Telegraph carries the same frontpage photograph as the Express but focuses somewhat more on the romance of the thing: ‘Lady Kitty Spencer, 30, wore a Victorian-inspired white lace bridal gown by Dolce and Gabbana which drew comparison to the one worn by her late aunt Diana Princess of Wales. She married 62-year-old tycoon Michael Lewis in Rome on Saturday‘ – a veritable tour de force of captioning there, at once informative and factual yet allowing the reader to take what attitude he or she may choose. BBC take note.
Such tales of old baubles to new riches prooving hash-tag Yes She Can just as much as the Guardian’s preferential frontpage pic of the female third place over the male second: ‘Chelsie Giles celebrates after winning GB’s first medal of the Games with bronze in women’s judo -52K. Bradley Sinden took silver after a narrow loss in the men’s -68K taekwondo final‘ – the excuse, for no pic of the bloke I suppose, being that our Chelsie won her bronze first.
The Express, by the way, finds frontpage space for pics of both our Chelsie and the chap brandishing their baubles.
The giveaway Metro has something for everyone on its cover. A welcome return of the female celeb angst feature sees the pink-haired sultry-looking Anne-Marie, 30, billed as a ‘ 2002 singer‘ (which smacks of bottom-scraping celebrity-wise) complains of: ‘Why I needed therapy to help me cope with my paranoia and fears‘ – despite covid/lockdowns..?
‘Anne-Marie says she felt like ‘an a***hole’ going into therapy despite her glitzy life as a pop star… She became fearful simply leaving her house but the sessions worked wonders and even provided new fodder for her latest record, unsurprisingly called Therapy.‘
‘Anne-Marie also explained why she is not the one to replace Jesy Nelson in Little Mix… nor stand in as maternity cover for pregnant Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.’
‘Little Mix fans have been badgering her to take a permanent spot in the group after they teamed up for new single Kiss My (Uh-Oh).’
But we’re not here just to do fan service for Little Mix officianados. Back to news of the other half of humanity on the freebie Metro frontpage. Baldy Javid is contrite: ‘Health Secretary’s apology after outrage at his Tweet‘ – naughty man referred to people getting a vax rather than ‘cower from, this virus‘ – which form of words, we and he, now understand to be heretical.
The Times has news of the latest bit of stick the government is wielding to get all the youngsters vaxed: ‘Vaccine refusnicks to be banned from universities‘ – why doesn’t Boris grow a pair and simply make it compulsory on pain of exile to… Calais?
And finally, the Daily Star brings us the latest in covid science. Nope, they still haven’t found that bat that supposedly started it all: ‘Pongdemic! Phew! What a stinker. Now boffins reckon farting spreads covid‘ – we understand airtight plastic knickers will soon be compulsory on Mayor Khan’s Transport for London and police will be checking – however, Labour complain there’s confusion in the minds of the public since the PM previously promised there would be no legal requirement. Sir Keir criticising Boris’s crass remark: “let it rip”

The BBC have joined CNN and the Washington Post in their baseless criticisms of the audit. To this end they interview solely Democrat reps and no one else.

According to Al Beeb, a ‘Woman’ was attacked with a ‘knife’ at Speakers Corner.
“Speakers’ Corner: Woman attacked with knife”
Here’s David Wood explaining, with the help of islamic scriptures, the direct link between islam and violence, proving beyond any doubt that islam is not a religion of peace.
He cites examples where mohammud himself either ordered the murder, or condoned the murder, of people just for making fun of him; in one case two girls for singing satirical songs about him.
The point Wood is making – and that our politicians and the BBC pretend not to see – is that the violence is not a freak aberration: it is at the very core of the Religion of Violence, written into it like Brighton Rock, in its very DNA.

The BBC have reached the absolutely ridiculous stage where they will not report the specific details of Muslim religion-based attacks because other Muslims will agree she deserved it.
They actually have a policy now not to infer any right-or-wrong for these events. Just report the facts.
Their reason is ‘One mans terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.’. The word ‘terrorist’ is banned from these reports.

Although hard to describe that amount as being for personal use. It seems that a brilliant defence when caught in this situation is to plead “addiction”.
There’s a lesson for all you would be drug traffickers out there, plead addiction or be a particular kind of “luvvie”.

Flash Flooding in London. BBC reports seem to love finding victims to splash (pun) over their website. I really hate the question along the lines of “do you have a story to tell us”. Taking advantage of people for headlines and agendas, as usual.
The talk of unprecedented rainfall may be true. I think there is another issue as well, over development. London has a dense population and at one time residential areas had things like trees, grass verges and gardens. These would help limit runoff. I can see this where my parents lived. Behind their garden was a wooded area , 30 plus trees were cut down and the area now becomes a lake during heavy rainfall. Trees were cut down to avoid maintenance costs by the council .

As I have very little choice of quality radio these days, I looked for something from years ago for amusement.
I found it with a Simon Bates show from the 80’s just to listen to ‘our tune’.
It didn’t disappoint.
Man met woman
Man loves woman. Woman loves man. True, blissful love.
Woman has affair (despite loving man?).
Man finds out and hits woman.
Woman runs away with other man.
Woman comes back pregnant with his child.
They get married and are absolutely blissfully happy again.
Woman gets hit by car and is in a coma.
Man spends a week at her bedside night and day. Woman dies.
Man has daughter who is the image of her mother to remind him of the happy times.
Simon lays it on about 10 feet thick.
They don’t make radio like that any more.

I can’t help but mull over the recent reaction of the Unions, USDAW, UNISON etc. in demanding that their members in the food chain supply should not be required to work if contact pinged despite the obvious risk to the food supply chain and the health and well-being of citizens and the Nation.
70 odd Years ago men and often women volunteered to go out into the deluge of bombs coming down in our cities to fight fires, rescue injured people and get people to air raid shelters. They did this willingly and unflinchingly often at great risk to their own safety purely in the desire to protect and help other citizens.
It is clear that people of that calibre are few and far between now but I guess that the Unions will leave no stone unturned to try to topple a government they don’t agree with, public comfort and safety is not their concern.
I guess for them playing politics is the be-all and end-all.
Why don’t they go the whole hog and demand that Health staff should no longer be required to turn up for work at hospitals due to the potential danger from sick patients. Surely this would be a quicker way to achieve their aim of social unrest?

The BBC have never liked Christian’s much and the ‘glee’ that they impose Islam on us all – is cause for concern (that the Police seem to think is perfectly OK Cressida Disk took over the swamp of political correctness and no-go zones. And now attempted murder in the land of (what was) free speech in a corner of the capital of free speech (that Karl Marx once stood when he lived poorly in Hampstead, London).
This is her statement:
‘The intention was clearly to kill me’
Responding to the attack, Hatun commented:
“I am upset and disturbed by what has happened to me. I am asking myself if I have done anything wrong? I am convinced I have not broken any law or incited hate. All I did was question Islam and I wanted to debate, discuss and to tell people about Jesus Christ. Speakers’ Corner is a great place to do this, it is a shame that this has happened at the home of freedom of speech.
“Watching the video, the intention is clearly to kill me.
“I can’t believe this has happened in broad daylight at Speakers’ Corner. You do not expect such things to happen in Great Britain.
“Police inaction has led to what happened to me yesterday. In the past, they have seen it as easier to remove me than deal with people intimidating and threatening me. My attacker was not even afraid of the police as he did it right in front of them. It is heart-breaking that we live in a society where police do not want to arrest a Muslim for fear of being called ‘Islamophobic.'”
She is making a claim against the police who stood by doing nothing. For the BBC this is a non story. Its all about the Uyghurs (Muslims) in China and the nasty Chinese authorities, who are not ‘real’ Communists at all, – not even true Socialists like the EU etc. The BBC rule book excludes commenting Christians and Jews for historical reasons of contempt.
You can read her story here: PRESS RELEASE
As the BBC are not pressed to read it.

Just joining some dots.
On the last thread I noted the glorification on BBC 1 ‘Countryfile’ of a collectivist farm in the Malverns, which sickening editorial propaganda about how marvellous it all was would have given mass murderers Pol Pot and Mao Tse Tung a run for their money.
Today I read more about the knife attack by a ‘man’ on a ‘woman’ at Speakers Corner. The ‘woman’ is reported as being a Muslim who has converted to Christianity.
A correspondent above has noted the ……errr…. somewhat different reporting approach on the BBC of this attack as compared with the Sarah Everard case which as we know provoked mass hysteria about women’s safety for days on end.
From this I conclude that in BBCland, all attacks by men on women are equal but some are more equal than others.
The BBC thus become indistinguishable from Napoleon and his fellow pigs in Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’.
Two different stories. Both reveal the BBC’s clear sympathies with Communism.

Not really biased BBC but you might think a supposedly impartial organisation with more journalists than the whole of Fleet Street put together might have a think about this.
Back in the Spring of 2020 the first covid case peak seemed a bit skewed when compared with the lockdown dates. There was so little testing back then it was hard to conclude anything.
Moving on to January 2021 there was lots of testing. A second big lockdown came in but the case rate peak was again arguably reached before the lockdown.
There were 24,000 cases today. Rates have arguably halved in the last week, despite there being no lockdown at all..
So a case can be made, counter intuitively, that case rates in all three examples peaked and then were declining BEFORE transmission reduction measures were taken.
My question is….what is going on and why is this not being investigated?
My amateur reasoning is that people in the main get infected and then mainly infect only their close friends and relatives. A sort of informal bubble. When everyone in the bubble has been infected, there is no- one left to infect. Rates thus peak andvthen reduce. A sort of micro herd immunity. Later, new waves infect different micro bubbles. It might also explain why case rate reductions are usually rather long winded, despite lockdown measures.
Now anyone can disagree and I an happy to be proved wrong. But where are the explanations for what can be observed? Where are SAGE on this? Why the hell is no-one at the BBC investigating? Why does £4 bn a year not bring with it any independent enquiring minds at all?

Sluff,
One reason why the number of infections has slumped in recent days could be the hot weather we’ve enjoyed in the last couple of weeks. The life expectancy of the C-19 virus outside of a host reduces in hotter temperatures.
I agree that more needs to be done (and not bloody modelling…) in terms of research. Just don’t expect the BBC or the fools who govern us to show much interest in pursuing it.

How come it spread so fast in India? A question not a criticism.

Did it? India case rates were so massively under-reported and rural villages were not linked in to the stats collation. So whatever actually has happened in India would be hard to prove. But if the case rates are to be beiieved it is impossible to think they have locked themselves down out of the pandemic. Just think of the high density housing in the slums and shanty towns and by the railway lines..

OK *be cautious with stats
#1 all white dead children are included
but not all non-white dead immigrant children are
#2 All white deaths are included
but some immigrant deaths don’t get registered, cos they’ve gone home and died
so they seem to live to 110
If you have
– 1000 families in the UK
– 1000 families in Pakistan who at some point will get an immigration visa
In each 1000 families, some children will die before 1 year old
and that 1 year life really affects the average of the group
For the Pakistani born families most individuals who immigrate to the UK have survived past 1
Sure their brothers might have died before 1
but they never get included on UK stats
It could be that ONS has controlled for the disparity in child deaths between UK/immigrant families.
#2 Imagine what would happen if a load of immigrant families send grandpa back to Pakistan where he dies
but they fail to register the death in the UK & continue to collect his UK pension for 30 years
Suddenly such people appear to live to 110 y.o.
