Weekend Thread 14 August 2021

Sunday is the 76th Anniversary of victory over Japan . It would be nice to think it will be properly commemorated – but somehow the BBC will be interested in other things …

    As regards the Plymouth murderer, I think he typifies so many young white men who now feel that our BBC and the Left treat them simply as potential rapists and give them no respect. This has been happening for many, many years.

    This is all an offshoot of militant feminism.

    The media treat young white men as idiots whilst women are portrayed as supreme beings. The sexual and social confidence of young white men therefore becomes undermined.

    Equality arrived years ago.

    Message to our BBC. You helped create this mess. Back off.

      when they show very little evidence just speculation based on their agendas.

      He killed 5 people .. mostly his family we think
      And we don’t really know why
      There was no suicide video, nor is there any record of threats.

      Social media does not help. If I was to look on Facebook I could see good looking guys I went to school with happily married to attractive women with a few kids and some posing out side a new house they purchased so no doubt they have a good job and a great life. Do I hate them for it? Of course not and it is good to see people you recognise doing well in life and clearly following in the footsteps of generations before them but not everyone is going to see it that way and who is to say that everyone’s life is not as good as it seems online?

      The thing is the younger age (those born in the mid 90s onwards especially) would have grown up with social media in the background. They where probably online after their parents and would have (or at least should have) their social media accounts restricted by their parents so when they reached legal adulthood they already has their parents and aunts and uncles and perhaps grandparents online.

      To this age group popularity at school would not have been measured by how many people you sat with at lunch but how many people you have online. Good looking girls will have other girls trying to be like them. They would have dozens of guys trying to add them and so popularity was who gets noticed the most online. Good looking guys would get the best pick of the girls and so would have a lot of girls liking their pictures. Those who do not get that attention miss out. While girls are naturally going to have issues with how they look and this is an age old problem I think the pressure gets put on the guys a lot.

      The view is that any girl could use make up and apps to enhance her appearance and get attention from at least a few guys who are feeling thirsty. The guys cannot do that. The girls have feminism trying to tell them how great they look although some even more bizarre forms of feminism are telling girls be natural and not try to impress guys (usually from the more unattractive girls) but what do the guys have? The BBC trying to ram negative stories about white males down our throats. Of course the non white males have their issues as well with feminism seemingly trying to cause a wedge between black men and black women and East Asian men are under the impression that East Asian women won’t date them as they are not masculine enough (Resulting in the view of the ‘ricecels’) and yet when the men decide to band together in any group despite their intentions all of a sudden the misogamist tag gets thrown at us. Someone from the Greens even made a joke that men should have a curfew after 9.00pm. That is the view forced onto men these days and the younger ones are getting it the worst.

      This new TikTok especially seems to have large number of so called feminists making claims that all men are bad and are all predators ect and yet anyone who challenges it is labelled far right.

      Something is happened in the west and it has been building up over the past decade but has only recently reached boiling point and well get even worse in the future. Men are in trouble and the BBC are certainly not helping.

        Sorry Smoogie, called you Stoogie earlier.

        Reading your comments on these Incel groups, it’s clearly NOT as simple as the BBC would like to have us believe, I thought that must be the case, people don’t normally go on shooting rampages just because they’re a bit sexually frustrated, and the whole ‘far right’ thing is just wishful thinking on the part of the BBC.

        Of course, there have always been frustrated and angry young men, at least I recall plenty when I was in my 20s (25+ years ago now). Life isn’t fair, never has been and never will be, and the mating game is one of the least fair aspects of all, but to be honest, I have some good mates who’re still single and happy with it – they get to spend all their spare time and money doing exactly what they want (like many married guys, I can’t say I’m never jealous – wife and kids are great, but also a complete tie). It’s just a question of looking on the bright side, and making the most of what you’ve got, because the ‘grass is ALWAYS greener’.

        Talking about grass being greener, I’m sure you’re right and social media like Facebook and Tiktok doesn’t help, but no one (of any age) has to be involved in that if they don’t want to. Ditto internet dating. In fact, I’d say people’s mental health would be much happier if they avoided most of both.

          The impression I get from the media is that a lot of their research seems to be a quick Google search or Wikipedia. As you said it is not quite as the BBC think it is.

          Of course the grass always looks greener from the other side but as a society we seem to have slipped into a mind set that more is better and social media is a tool for status.

          Most people would be better off without it yet that won’t solve everything. There will always be someone somewhere who is angry or frustrated

      I see today that pretty much every left-wing rag is screaming for legislation to outlaw what they have deigned to call InCel, that being they want to include every working class male non-latte drinking white boy.

      There is little doubt that these rags feed off division and activism in their holy grail of breaking the status quo to bring about their cultural revolution.

      In my view, this trend which has appeared at lightning speed despite them still knowing virtually nothing about the background of this case is an attempt to put another brick in their wall against everyone they see as infidels, people who don’t subscribe to their tunnel-vision bigoted left wing view.

      It is political and the irony is that rather than build in protection it is likely to disaffect many, many more voiceless young white working-class males.

      To press ahead with what can only be described as a witch hunt akin to the Salem trials can only result in growing anger and division in society but the whole point is that that is exactly what they want to happen. it’s all part of the grand plan to render anyone who doesn’t tow the line silent and vilified and excluded from what they see as “their” society.

    What a load of tosh on the BBC website about incels being a far-right terror group.

    Incels are a group of previously isolated undesirable males who, through the marvel of the internet, have realised they are a substantial demographic and have come together for mutual support. No doubt their frustrations and sob stories are sometimes expressed in terms that offend the radical feminist BBC but that doesn’t make them far-right or a terrorist organisation.

    Two or three of them seem to have reached the ripe old age of twenty-two and, apparently unable to accept who they are and deal with the unfairness of life as we all must, have decided their lives are over and to end things with a shooting rampage. Their evil acts are an expression of personal but not political frustrations. Nor are their deeds carried out in furtherance of some political aim. So far-right terrorism is a complete misnomer.

          One of the worst forms of bias from the BBC is bias by omission. Why are people not talking about the things you mentioned above? Simply people don’t know. No one talks about grooming gangs outside of a few circles as it is kept quiet and the purpose of such gangs seems to be to cater for incels in some cultures (when they do get arrested they often all look like unattractive men at least) but it is not what the BBC want us to talk about. Anyone who mentions it is ‘far right’

        Maxicony, whilst I realise that to people like you on the far left anyone who opposes the horror of Socialism is a ‘terrorist’ threat, to be classed as a terrorist there is a test or definition to be met.

        A terrorist is someone who wishes to achieve political change by the means of violence.

        Could you please tell us all the political changes this man murdered people to achieve? What his message to the state was?

        Also remember that when you are at the far left, everything is going to appear to be right to you, and it doesn’t take much to appear far right !

              That BBC document is basically saying don’t use the word terrorist when it might offend someone somewhere else.
              I read somewhere that a policy was instigated for the whole of the BBC by their main man in Saudi Arabia whereby the word terrorist was not to be used when describing attacks by Muslim’s.
              The reason given was that one persons terrorist is another persons freedom fighter – meaning himself and everyone else in Saudi Arabia of course.
              And the BBC don’t consider themselves the voice of Britain any more. They consider themselves to be the voice of the world.

                The level of brainwashing becomes apparent when they all start shouting Allah Akbar. Some of the GoPro videos from the war in Syria are quite disturbing. Not because of the fighting but because of how utterly brainwashed everyone on BOTH sides are.

        The term “incel” is new to me, but I have read up on the subject, including the bizarre narrative from the BBC suggesting a relationship between being involuntarily celibate and being far right. The Plymouth murderer is first and foremost a nut-case. Perhaps he was also an incel, but perhaps he is also a Corbynite for all we know, or a member of Antifa. To suggest that there is an incel sub-culture that is far right in its thinking is absurd.

Thus setting their stall out for many more click bait column inches over the coming weeks.

        You, I, and almost everyone else knows nothing about what really led to this dreadful event so isn’t it best to zip up and not jump to forgone conclusions until the facts come out?

    US-Mexico border migrant detention levels reach 21-year high
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58207124

    200,000 in one month and 19,000 children on their own !!!.

    We are witnessing the Golden Age of when the West was detsroyed by the Left. It’s all downhill from here.

    My favourite line in that BBC dribble is:

    Experts say many migrants are fleeing violence and extreme poverty.

    So how many fleeing violence and how many just want more money ?. See how they lump the two together and wrap it in ‘Experts say’. And anyway, it should be ‘violence OR extreme poverty’. Another subtle trick to push you to think a certain way.

    I will bet my house the VAST majority are coming for the money alone.

    The BBC deliberately play this down as much as they can. There is no mention of what has certainly happened to many of those tens of thousands of unaccompanied children. Because it doesn’t suit the agenda.

    Welcome to the reality of your ‘compassion’ Lefties. Idiots.

      I think you are painting this in far too favourable a light John. It is deeply sinister.

      The Democrats have opened the Southern border in an attempt to rig the vote even further. What they are doing is in breach of the constitution and Biden would be impeached if only the dim witted American people haddn’t voted them into both houses.

      The Democrats are trying to allow these migrants to vote (for them) before they even have US citizenship in an astonishing anti democratic move which has gone largely unreported.

      On the Florida side though, they are telling desperate Cubans not to come to America because they will not get citizenship. People running from the horrors of Socialism are unlikely to vote Socialist.

      Bidens approval rating has now yesterday fallen below 50%, the American people are seeing through the media lies finally it’s taken them long enough.

      Talking to some ‘sheeple’ neighbours, their world view from the British media is that the Republicans will never be in power for a generation after the ‘damage’ Donald Trump did to their party! They are in for a shock!

      This is the problem though, most people work hard all day, come home eat a meal and watch the telly, and that is when they are at their most vulnerable, and it should have been the Tory parties bounden duty to make sure the BBC was impartially reporting the news. The failure of that party is colossal.

        Thoughtful,
        The mid terms , if conducted freely and fairly, will see the Republicans take both House and Senate and an end to the looney left Democrat rule. But the big question is , will the elections be free and fair or will the democrats and Dominion fix them?
        The power of the Democrats MSM and government institutions is immense. We have seen them keep Clinton from trial, murder Epstein, hobble the Trump administration, fix the 2020 election and so far they have got away with all of them. Whose to say that they won’t get away with yet another fix? If they do then we can be certain that democracy is indeed dead and that it finally died , after a long illness, when they succeeded in putting China Joe in the White House last November.

    Instead the BBC write this:
    ‘The only response from the Americans and their Western allies to these pleas for help, for the moment, has been silence.’

    It’s an absolute disgrace that the Taliban are not being painted as the monsters they are in large headlines. Once again it’s all peripheral ’emotion’ stories about civilians.

    All because of the BBC agenda. Which is more important to them than any amount of suffering and death. The Left are monsters hiding behind masks.

    TOADY Watch #1 – it’s Global Warming, Jim, but not as we know it

    Lee Hunt of the RHS is packed in as a Packham substitute on TOADY. The BBC just have to keep the narrative going on Global Warming that isn’t and Climate Change that is extreme weather instead. He suggests gardening to combat Global Warming and Climate Change and using a free tree that you find under a paving stone. Really?

    Yes, honestly.

    Well, I guess it saves getting the car out and driving to a garden centre to buy a tree. Some CO2 saved, then. But his optimistic idea that the free tree will grow without water, should we ever have a heatwave again or a long period without rain, calls into question the quality of training and knowledge required in order to be able to work for The Royal Horticultural Society.

    Mr Hunt suggests knocking down a garden wall and planting a hedge. Well, that definitely does require vehicle use – twice, clearing the rubble and going to the garden centre – no Global Warming & Climate Change savings there. Of course, a new hedge will eventually require the purchase of a new hedge trimmer. More CO2 emissions and it will need to be plugged into the mains electricity or use petrol unless it is the sort of hedge that can be trimmed manually with shears, even so, you are now into a considerable CO2 deficit and causing Global Warming & Climate Change all on your own. Oh dear!

    This Global Warming and Climate Change thing is descending to new levels of ridiculous before COP 26. The BBC are helping it on its way. But do ordinary people realise that or are they fervent believers in this new religion?

    The BBC website has a review of a book about a ‘new form of snobbery ‘ – it’s not the best crafted piece because it is the BBC . The book ( can’t recall author / title ) posits that there is a new ‘divide ‘ between superior university types and inferiors – like the red wall plebs who dared revolt against their betters by doing things like becoming brexiters .

When manufacturers invest in the third world rather than here, or businesses move their manufacturing processes offshore, who does this hurt? Not the political class, not Labour MPs, not stockholders or investors. It is the ordinary working class guy who has not got a high IQ, has not got a degree, who has got a very limited range of jobs that he can actually do and who has traditionally relied on manufacturing for his livelihood. The political class seem to believe this kind of guy can easily reeducate himself, retrain and adapt himself to the information technology workplace. But huge numbers of people cannot do that.

      To be fair, Skelton does mention this and the necessity of bringing manufacturing jobs back to Britain. But his main topic – snobbery – is such a trivial issue compared with what really needs to be done to help our people. So typical of our modern age – the concern with feelings and attitudes overriding everything else.

        There was a reason why there was a big move towards leave in 2016 amongst the working class. The fact that we have lost a lot of our manufacturing jobs due the EU is part of it. The other part of it is that the remaining jobs are handed over to others and not us. Labour did not realise this until it was too late. It is all very well bragging about how you introduced the NHS and how evil Thatcher was for closing the pits but Thatcher was a known Eurosceptic and perhaps in the long term she was no longer seen as the enemy

      As its only an abstract you might hope that the main text explains that this is about explaining how if you accept ‘Queer Theory’ then logically you’d have to accept any other ‘perversion’…bestiality and of course then paedophilia….a few years back the BBC and C4 at the same time, oddly, both had advocates for ‘more understanding’ of paedophiles…a slippery slope…and of course Labour’s Harriet Harman back in the day saw no problem with ‘The Paedophile Information Exchange’….

      From The Guardian…

      ‘How paedophiles infiltrated the left and hijacked the fight for civil rights
      A 1970s campaign to lower the age of consent has returned to haunt Harriet Harman, Patricia Hewitt and Jack Dromey. But in such a liberal climate, it wasn’t hard for a small, determined group to exploit a commitment to free speech.’

    Dan collects a paycheck from Paul Ryan’s Fox News.
    The goal of Establishment conservative networks like Fox is to feed conservatives just enough breadcrumbs to string them along and keep them from talking about the real issues in this country.
    The exception being Tucker Carlson’s show, which regularly addresses many of these issues and is the number one show on television for that reason.

    At the end of Dan’s rant he expressed interest in uniting together against our shared enemies.
    I’d be happy to do that if Rumble simply changes their terms of service to remove their ban against “hate speech,” which does not exist.
    Until then Gab and others will continue to be the tip of the spear for free speech on the internet and we will absolutely call out those who claim to be something they are not.

    TOADY Watch #2 – a sinister development

    Before 8 a.m., Sarah (it’s Ladies Day at TOADY – Yay!), I think, spoke with a French female journalist about the planned protest this weekend in France against the draconian legislation introduced by President Macron. The French Parliament has been foolish enough to sweep away liberté, égailité et fraternité from the French population with some new legislation that restricts the human rights and equalities of those who are not vaccinated. They will not be allowed to vote next year in the Presidential Election. That may well still bring about the downfall of this new petit Napolean. I certainly hope so, for the sake of France.

    You would expect the BBC to be up in arms over this and expressing their contempt for President Macron, à là former President of the USA, Donald Trump. Somewhat ironic that the French nation expressed their appreciation of the liberté, égailité et fraternité of the new nation of the USA that they gave a gift of a hollow statue – Liberty – to the Americans. Now that liberté is looking very hollow indeed in France.

    But no. The BBC appear to approve of this Hitler-like move on the part of President Macron. They wheeled on the French journalist who helpfully labelled these demonstrators (this apparently is the fifth weekend of protest) as being, like the Gilet Jaunes, as ‘Far Right’ and only a few in number. That spoke volumes to me. The ignorance of this contributor, for a start. The Gilet Jaunes were mostly, although not entirely, ‘of the Left’ and ‘Socialists or socialists’ and were concerned at President Macron’s attack on their jobs and their rural communities through the imposition of extra Fuel Duties and other taxes.

    The other notable element was the willingness of the journalist to quickly describe the demonstratiors as ‘Far Right’ despite the same epithet being even more applicable to President Macron. No challenge from Sarah Smith on either point.

    I wonder why? ( … to be continued)

    ‘Older white Americans still hold most of the economic and political power in the US. But the great ethnic diversity of younger generations means that change is coming.

    America’s workforce, politics and place on the world stage will soon be changed forever.

    Almost half of millennials and children are from ethnic minority groups and it is this great diversity that is at the heart of demographic changes.

    As the country comes to rely on them for its future prosperity, everyone will have to consider how society must change to make a success of this new reality.’

    TOADY Watch #3 – another sinister development

    Post 8 a.m. Interview on TOADY conducted by Mishal. It is dealing with the Plymouth tragedy, the mass shooting of people in Plymouth by Jake Davison. Mishal interviewed a lawyer. “Can we tighten our laws to describe this as terrorism?” asked Mishal. She seemed very anxious to do that. So anxious that she asked that question at different point during the interview, three times. Each time the lawyer said, no, existing British law was widely drafted enough with its provisions on terrorism to catch this and other events.

    Just ask yourself, why should Mishal and the BBC be so anxious to do that when it is not necessary?

    After the shooting in Plymouth and the possible links to ‘incels’…

    ‘Davison made references to “incels” in some online social media videos.

    Incels are members of misogynistic online groups of “involuntary celibate” men, who blame women for their sexual failings and who have been linked to a number of violent acts around the world.’

    ….the BBC will no doubt be filling the airwaves with programmes shaped to normalise incels and turn them into marginalised, discriminated against victims of a nasty and bigoted society…’othered’ and hated…we’ll be taught that we must like them and not say a word in criticism about them, their beliefs and values.

    Isn’t that exactly what the BBC did for Muslims after every terror attack?

    Apparently these ‘incels’ are now a’terrorist’ threat…despite it seeming to be a family dispute that spilled out into the street…

    ‘Sir Peter Fahy, a retired chief constable and former policing lead on the prevention of terrorism, said police and government may need to re-examine definitions of terrorism as the threat from jihadist groups appears to diminish and other threats grow.

    “The real concern of the authorities is around right-wing terrorism, it’s some of this real extreme ideology, particularly coming across from America and particularly this developing theme around hatred for women,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

    “The efforts of counter-terrorism may have to be partially redirected.”‘

    ‘Right-wing terror’ is the main threat?….based on a hatred of women? The man’s mad….wonder if he said the same thing about Muslim terrorists as mysoginy is written down in black and white in the Koran….you can see it in action rght now in Afghanistan….

    ‘A mother’s eyes gouged out and young girls kidnapped as sex slaves: Female Afghan politican SHUKRIA BARAKZAI – who survived a suicide bomber attack – despairs at the West’s betrayal of Afghan women’

    Not just Afghanistan of course….

    ‘Yasmin Alibhai-Brown: Who’d be female under Islamic law?
    In Muslim states, violence against women is validated. A dark age is upon us’

    and it’s here right now in the UK …not forgetting the thousands of young white sex slaves in Rotherham and other towns….

    ‘Across the West – for a host of reasons – millions of Muslims are embracing backward practices. In the UK young girls – some so young that they are still in push chairs – are covered up in hijabs. Disgracefully, there are always vocal Muslim women who seek to justify honour killings, forced marriages, inequality, polygamy and childhood betrothals. Why are large numbers of Muslim men so terrorised by the female body and spirit? Why do Muslim women encourage this savage paranoia?’

    Right here, right now, women being terrorised by Muslim beliefs and values but it’s a tiny group of ‘right-wing’ [is ‘incel’ ideology ‘right-wing’?] individuals on the web who are the real threat? Why does the BBC give credence to this crap?

      “women being terrorised by Muslim beliefs and values but it’s a tiny group of ‘right-wing’ [is ‘incel’ ideology ‘right-wing’?] individuals on the web who are the real threat”.

      The two things – although there is no such thing as ‘incel ideology’ per se – are closely related. When there is a population imbalance between the sexes, with significantly more males than females, large numbers of men are destined to never marry and have a family. This causes resentment, which can express itself in violence against women, or can be redirected into militarism and extremism, such as Islamism. This phenomenom is well documented, is cross-cultural and observed in many countries, and has been known to psychologists and sociologists for decades.

      https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0197516

      A disturbing variant on this is developing in Western countries as a result of hyper-immigration. The vast majority of migrants from Africa and the Middle East are young males, frequently from societies where women are held in low esteem. This is increasing the disparity in numbers between men and women, adding to the problem. Despite the propaganda of pop videos and the media, the West is not full of attractive young women just waiting to marry the latest dark-skinned arrivals fresh off the dinghy boats from the Channel. Many of these men are destined to remain as single ‘migrant incels’, using rape and assault to obtain what is not available by conventional means, or cause mayhem by other means.

        Sex – between men and women
        You have to be in a relationship, if not you are a failure
        Homosexual sex
        Gender fluidity
        Leaving home, escaping parental influence and oversight

        Physical perfection
        Feminism
        State control and State dependence
        Academic success
        High earnings potential
        Wealth

    The BBC should be an impartial reporting organization – it should not be propagandizing for war, which is exactly what it is doing in Afghanistan. It is calling the Taliban re-takeover: a war against women, Joe Biden’s biggest calamity, a war against humanity etc.

    The BBC have had a love affair with Joe Biden because he is not Donald Trump, so the fact they are now criticizing him over this reveals that Afghanistan is an issue the BBC deeply care about. However, that is NOT their job. That is NOT why the British have to pay the BBC tax. They should not be demanding the UK bomb the Taliban and their supporters.

    The BBC did the same thing in Syria demanding the UK, NATO and the US bomb Assad and his supporters. They even condemned Diane Abbott, an extremely rare phenomenon, because she refused to support the bombing of Syria.

      Hi as a web developer I can probably throw a bit of light on that one.

      When you open a website in your browser, the site can run background checks to try to discover the origin of the browser internet connection. Subject to your browser security settings this can in cases even isolate the region or even the town you are browsing from.

      Of course these silent software background checks take a few seconds to complete after you have initially opened the site hence the sudden switching in content that the website considers more appropriate for your region etc.

        I just type in
        https://www.bbc.com

        The preload looks like it is designed for a non UK but English language viewership.

        I have long suspected that the BBC propaganda is tailored for the audience, with the BBC pushing for a global audience, with 50 or so different languages. I also suspect the BBC’s anti “traditional English” propaganda is far stronger when directed at non-UK audiences, as well as when using another language.

        My two initial thoughts were that it was either device oriented or region oriented. From what Digg’s mentions it seems like regional orientation.

        But what region the preload appears as – I can’t be certain. I guess it must be a “default” neutral region – before switching to a specific region based on what it determines from the servers used to access the site. I suppose this neutral region must be “global English language viewership” – does that seem like a reasonable guess?

        I have also seen content delivered in Europe vary surprisingly (between Belgium and The Netherlands)

        One small thing that grates is that the UK punters see a “Science and Environment” page when visiting from the UK but as far as I can see the rest of the world sees “Science”.

    TOADY Watch #4 – and now for something completely different or not

    I couldn’t believe my ears this morning and let out an involuntary laugh. Guess what?

    Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear.

    There may be empty shelves in shops this Christmas. Why?

    Because of Brexit. Because of the Pandemic. Because of a blocked Suez Canal earlier this year. Because of a shortage of truck drivers. Because of Covid vaccination. The BBC are desperate to create fear in the population. Yet on another hand they tell us that our rabid consumption of goods at any time of year, let alone Christmas, is heating up the planet, creating Global Warming and Climate Change.

    The Humph used to complain on TOADY at the end of August that Christmas goods and cards were starting to appear in the shops. He did not realise as a high paid Beeboid and also a wealthy man, that poorer folk like OAPs might have family in Australia & NZ or Latin America or the US & Canada and that the cheapest posting for parcels and cards usually ended at the end of September or early in October.

    I think TOADY’s fear projection of today sets a new record for a Christmas related story.

    TOADY Watch #5 – yet another sinister development and an opportunity seized by the BBC

    The BBC do not like the internet but they do. They are sort of schizoid over the Internet and because of the Internet. They make programmes specifically about it. They use it to promote themselves. But they also hate it. It allows competition into their field. Licence free competition. Small resourced competition. They can be beaten to news stories by the likes of Bellingcat. People can talk to each other without moderation by the BBC. They can broadcast without all the BBC’s infrastructure, equipment, personnel and limitation by regulations.

    They were no doubt delighted to hear the rumour that the Plymouth gunman was possible a member of an internet ‘InCel’ group: singles who consider themselves InvoluntaryCelibate. That meant that the BBC were able to point the finger at the Internet and say “Whoooh spooky – Far Right – Misogynists (Do only men join InCel groups? What about InCel women?) – it ought to be banned – shut down the Internet. Regulate the Internet.”

    Very sinister. Very Far Left. Very BBC.

    Now that Brexit is largely over, the Government needs to get a grip on its officials and civil servants of all ranks. Secret documents are secret for a reason and protocols on their handling must be followed. Civil servants should also realise that they are employed as servants of the elected Government to ensure that their policies are enacted. Those who join the civil service to further their own agendas or the agendas of outside organisations should no longer be tolerated. Nor, for that matter, should civil servants who believe that foreign laws and organisations have an equal claim on their loyalties to that of their own state. They are entitled to follow other interests and loyalties outside of Government.

    Can we get al Springster to fact check the following …

    Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.Dihydrogen monoxide:

    is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.contributes to the “greenhouse effect.”may cause severe burns.contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

    Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!

    Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.

    Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

    as an industrial solvent and coolant.in nuclear power plants.in the production of styrofoam.as a fire retardant.in many forms of cruel animal research.in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.as an additive in certain “junk-foods” and other food products.

    Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

    The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its “importance to the economic health of this nation.” In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

    I’ve mentioned before a feminist poster on the wall of a student house I shared several decades ago. It read ‘Women who want to be equal to men lack imagination’..

    This week we’ve had the ‘best ever’ GCSE and A level results in which females outperform males by record amounts.

    It has received passing comments from LeftMob.

    But there are no features.
    No indignation.
    No equality pressure groups.
    No ‘spokespeople’
    No special programmes.
    No articles.

    Isn’t it funny how the BBC can be completely silent on issues when it suits.

      The article is quite short
      Key paragraph

      The BBC seems oddly willing to entertain the idea that incels should be designated as terrorists, possibly because it gives a boost to the notion that misogyny should be categorised as a hate crime
      – an already dodgy category.

      Sarah Smith on the Today programme, for instance, pressed Jonathan Hall, the government’s terrorism adviser, about the necessity of identifying radical misogynists in this way.
      He wavered a bit, and said it was possible, but that since terrorism was defined as using force or violence to advance beliefs or ideology, the definition was already open to expansion and if there was more of this sort of thing, well, it was possible.

      Can we stop all this?
      … Like I say, sometimes a nutter is just a nutter.

      That’s a general point
      I still resent the way media are trying shoehorn the label “incel attack” onto Davison
      just cos a guy said the word once in a video a few weeks ago.

    But Lisa Doyle, director of advocacy and engagement at the Refugee Council, said: “The government must change its approach. Instead of seeking to punish or push away people seeking safety because of the type of journey they have made to the UK, they must create and commit to safe routes.”
    She said: “While there is war, persecution and violence, people will be forced to take dangerous journeys to seek safety.

    My 15 year old son says that Climate Change is real because his school says so. I told him that many scientists don’t support Climate Change. He scoffed and said that there are people who believe the world is flat, but that doesn’t make them right.

        Stew, on Paul Homewood’s excellent site he debunks the NOAA claim today that July 2021 was the hottest ever month for Planet Earth. I note the map that Paul published, from NOAA, didn’t cover Greenland. Could that be because the great predictions of the Greenland ice cap completely melting and sea levels rising three feet never happened?

        It could be ‘a very inconvenient truth’ to measure Greenland’s temperatures, even in summer.

        Fascinating. Vine in effect admitted that if John from Manchester had not lied about his views of the vaccine he would not have been allowed to speak; that view is censored by the BBC. Vine said that deaths reported on the Yellow Card system cannot be counted as fact because the system is “self-reporting”, and there is no scientific proof associating the deaths with the vaccine.
        So: they set up a self-reporting system that can be disregarded, and they fail to investigate the deaths so that they can deny any association with the vaccine.
        We are being treated as idiots.

    Excellent article by Charles Moore in the DT about China’s frightening power to shut down investigation into its part in Covid-19, with a couple of sideswipes at the BBC’s craven submission to China and the WHO.

    A couple of extracts below.

    The WHO… said at a press conference that “it was “extremely unlikely” the virus had spread from a lab leak in Wuhan. The BBC, always reluctant to touch the lab-leak theory, took this as all but conclusive. On its website, its health editor wrote that the WHO experts had “closed the lid on a controversial theory that coronavirus came from a lab leak or was made by scientists”.

    “So long as Donald Trump was US President, many global bodies and scientific publications had a simple rule: if he took one view, they would take the opposite. Early on, Trump blamed a Wuhan lab leak, so they discounted it.”

        Anyway, I remember a local man with a white beard and wizened face, and think he had some goats. The reporter asked what he thought about the US led ‘liberation’.

        “Nothing will change” said the local (via the translator)
        “Surely this is a big thing for Afghanistan?” said the reporter (who was obviously hoping for a bit more enthusiasm)
        “The invaders will realise there is nothing for them here and leave, just like all the others, and the Taliban will come back and it will all be the same again” says the local guy

    with an uneasy mix of solemnity and mostly feeble jokes.
    Above all, Richard Dormer’s central performance is an eye-popping, eyebrow-wiggling, head-swivelling, neck-stretching display of hamminess rarely seen on screen since the days of James Finlayson in Laurel and Hardy.

    A few short weeks ago, the imbecile in the White House (which one, you might ask?) was berating journalists for asking if he trusted the Taliban and whether the Afghan army could stand up to them. He angrily replied how great the army was and how puny the Taliban were.
    His words have come back to bite him. Had it been Trump, the Biden Broadcasting Corporation would be playing that press conference on a loop, juxtaposing it with images of Taliban atrocities. Instead, Biden gets hardly a mention in their reports, and little to no criticism.

      No mention in any of these articles about what President Joe told the world and has shown he doesn’t have the first clue about what is going on. Nor any mention of the truly terrible things the Taliban terrorists are doing to anyone who sided with the West.

      Truly pathetic. I often wonder if the Lefties at the BBC know they are outrageous hypocrites and don’t care or they are so consumed with ideology and hatred of the Right that it never occurs to them : the ends justify the means.
