    Today the BBC slip in another slimy project fear/we-told-you-so brexit item on their home page on how the UK can’t really feed itself and has to rely on Johnny Foreigner…

    “Britain produces enough food to feed itself for only 233 days of the year, meaning we’d have run out of food on 20 August this year if we solely relied on homegrown produce.”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/articles/british_food_quiz

    They don’t mention that much of the food we import cannot be grown here anyway or how much food grown here is exported so it’s a very dodgy and highly selective claim.

    So to fix this I guess we are going to have to learn how to grow coconuts, pineapples, coffee, chocolate cocoa beans, oranges, bananas, rice etc. right here in the UK I guess!

    Only today I bought a pack of Silver Spoon sugar which has proudly displayed on it “PRODUCED ENTIRELY IN THE UK”, presumably from sugar beet, so we are going the right way BBC!… pity about those poor sugar cane workers in the Carib who will be thus unable to export and earn as much hey and thus unable to afford to import our Lamb, Beef, Fish and Chicken etc.!

    It’s the way they do it, so pathetic!

      Do they mention that we can’t supply all of our own food because the population is far too high?

    2:15pm R4 drama : a repeat from 2019
    Who is the bad guy ? Who is the hero ?

    – A black man who is running house where 2 Venezuelan prostitutes seem to be working.
    – An enthusiastic white guy who runs the local neighbourhood watch scheme.
    Tip the white guy just used the word “coloured” to describe the other guy. And then just used the phrase “our people”

    You see, the black guy was merely protecting the Venezuelans from evil traffickers.

    3:30pm “Hamza Malik coaches basketball and martial arts,
    … he’s based in the Mandela Centre in Leeds”
    “They don’t have the facilities available to private schools and with most leisure centres closed or access restricted there’s a big loss on many levels.”

    The prog is a repeat from March.

    The alpaca is dead, now for the debate.
    My prediction.
    On present form, the BBC will take a poke at the Government.
    GBNews will produce that young snot who will argue that it was right to kill it and any other animal Defra want to destroy – otherwise the world will end.

    I caught the second episode of the BBC’s “Privates” this afternoon which follows the antics of one of the last contingents of National Service Army recruits in 1960.

    I watched with one eye half-closed as I had a foreboding of what was to follow.

    I spent a few years in the Army Cadet Force and The Junior Leaders at exactly the same time so had something, however small, to judge it by.

    Well… the atmosphere and props were fairly convincing as was the depiction of the confused and fearful young blokes coming up against the steely ex-WW2 battle-hardened Segeants who’s job it was to turn them into “men”.

    So at first, mildly impressed….

    That was until they started to introduce some unfamiliar (or being the BBC should that be familiar) story lines…. eg; One young reluctant recruit complete with coloured wife. (Would have been very, very unusual at the time), semi-marxist recruit challenging authority (would have got very short shrift at the time). Recruit having a breakdown of some sort in hospital with the only other lady in the show, a nurse. They also managed to infer that there may be a “gay” aspect in some of the young characters which would have been almost impossible to imagine at the time.

    It had the makings of an interesting look back but I suspect will degenerate further into the usual woke bullshit in the next few episodes instead of trying to tell an honest story about a particularly British time for a lot young men.

      Labour are concerned for their ‘constituents’.

      Scores of Labour MPs have been inundated with pleas for help from thousands of constituents whose relatives have been left stranded since the UK’s final emergency airlift left Kabul following the country’s rapid fall to the Taliban. Among them are children, disabled relatives and people who face persecution due to their work, all with potential eligibility to be resettled in Britain.

      7000 of them eh?

      Lisa Nandy, the shadow foreign secretary, accused the government of putting lives at risk. “Even now, weeks after Kabul fell, it is appalling that the government still has no idea how many Afghans who assisted us are eligible to come to the UK, no clear criteria for determining who is eligible and no accurate picture of the numbers of Britons left behind.”

      Britons?

        So, some Afghans, having been granted British National status having fled for their lives from war-torn Afghanistan now require rescuing, fearing for their lives, from war-torn Afghanistan having gone back for a holiday in war-torn Afghanistan from whence they previously fled fearing for their lives. Sorry, can’t join the BBC in worrying too much about this.

    6pm bbc tv news – the Biden fan club continues . No criticism from any one UK or US – the nearest they got was a veteran in the UK with severe injuries saying it wasn’t worth it – and – of course it wasn’t worth 1 UK cut finger – yet alone a life .

    Now just leave afgee to rot and concentrate on threats at home – and eternal silence from Blair …

      Hopefully when we taxpayers are propping up the Tallies with aid there will be less reporting by the BBC’s Lyce Doucet and her dreadful voice.
      I see the BBC are still out there. My advice to the Tallies is to arrest them all and take them as slaves mining lithium, thus contributing to the production of batteries for the fight against fossil fuel and climate change.

      From what I can see there’s some real anger about Biden’s watch checking and offhand walkaway at the Dover AFB ceremony.

      The debacle in Kabul is only a small part of the picture – there’s trouble brewing and the Democrats are thinking they can brass it out…

      Tinkering with the California gubernatorial recall election might just be the last straw….

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #2 – there wouldn’t be some propaganda in there, would there?

    Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not an anti-vaxxer but I am interested in the messages that are portrayed or even promoted by our national newspapers and broadcasters. I now some fervent anti-vaxxers on-line (and conspiracy theorists, too) and have largely given up trying to get them to see sense.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274

    There seem to be two or three messages being pushed here by the BBC. One is the obvious promotion of Covid vaccination to young people. The other is pushing the festival thing, possibly out of a BBC desire to ‘be hip’. If that’s too dated an expression (although it ought not to be, the BBC were all over Charlie Watts when the stone rolled for him no more and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry dead these three day and still on the BBC web-site Home Page) then the BBC really do seem anxious to promote festivals to young people despite the fact that ticket prices are astronomic and a festival crowd seems to include parents and grandparents in the audience or even on the Main Stage.

    The BBC lives in a virtual world. During the Olympics the BBC could only show two sports at a time claiming they are short of money (again). Well you may wonder what they spend all the (Billions £) on. Salaries primarily but also on virtual reality (Dr Who specials). Its not cheap, but the BBC can afford to Not to go to Tokyo and here they explain how they do it…

    With this tech, the BBC can save a fortune by not being there (at all). But it is clever, I never underestimate the BBC to make a virtual reality out of a story. Step into the BBC world of virtual reality.
