YOUR COMPLAINT:
President Trump’s 100 Days President Biden’s 0 Day
Dear Winston Smith in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth,
You covered President Trump’s 100 Days and then produced a Beyond 100 Days to hold power to account.
Why have you not done the same for President Biden to hold power to account?
‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

“Heathrow criticises Border Force for ‘unacceptable’ queues”

Ie., The criminals and terrorists they are letting in.
Britain’s vulnerable borders EXPOSED as Home Office admits losing track of 600k foreigners
THE vulnerability of Britain’s borders was exposed yesterday as Home Office officials revealed details of more 600,000 foreign visitors to the UK have been lost, and there is no way of knowing if they ever returned home.
By LLOYD JOHNSON
PUBLISHED: 00:01, Thu, Mar 29, 2018 | UPDATED: 18:29, Thu, Mar 29, 2018
I don’t expect the BBC will take any notice, as UN Climate Change policies has nothing to do with the weather other than a prediction based on an incorrect statement that ‘97% of Scientists agree’
– which is the first clue that its ‘contrived’ to make it look that way for a – specific purpose. Political convenience of the left to blame everybody else..
And its worked so far.
Leading to Scientists being shadow ‘banned’, for stating the obvious when the facts don’t add up.
That is become a doctrine of the left to damage everything and exploit everything for political advantage. They are at media war with us 7 days a week. Often sponsored by our own governments as an ’emergency’ situation.
The BBC cannot see morals. Pointing out inaccuracy at the BBC is rarely admitted even when its debated in parliament and even the Courts have fined them and found them and found guilty (again). They just carry on as before, paying fine or two as they go.
But what if, suddenly, 97% of Scientists suddenly agreed that global warming was not man made but because of the role of the sun itself?
Would that change things for the left?
I don’t think so, (you see it just gets ignored. After all they control most of the media, have infiltrated governments, education and wealth locked up with the projection of ‘doom’ and a global pandemic that may be with us for the remains of the next century (or more) depending if the BBC still exists.
But not all Scientist agree (nor ever will). But they rank higher than political agitators hiding as environmentalists. Globalist corporations are keen for you to believe the end of the world scenario. They are just the profit seekers.
But: If you believe in the Science, don’t believe anything when your in lock down. Taking drugs (because if you don’t..), get you kids neutered, take an early Euthanasia pill, abort a perfectly healthy child early, close down all industry, ban cars, ban cows, ban fishing, ban money… something may happen- to the planet that is really, really scary. When governments telling you what to eat, read, abort, and father (or mother) and create a state of fear.
Except its not. Not CO2.
Study Finds Sun—Not CO2—May Be Behind Global Warming
A new scientific review article has just been published on the role of the Sun in climate change over the last 150 years. It finds that the United Nations ’Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) may have been premature in their conclusion that recent climate change is mostly caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.
http://www.raa-journal.org/raa/index.php/raa/article/view/4920/6080
So that torpedoes the entire CO2 emission argument of the left.
And the BBC would say its just one ‘light weight’ report. (they will ignore it), but they could respond. In which case they could also ignore another report here. It won’t be the last, as not all Scientist agree to work at the BBC.
500 Scientist also state there is no climate change.
https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/there-is-no-climate-emergency-say-500-experts-in-letter-to-the-united-nations/
https://needtoknow.news/2019/07/bombshell-scientists-find-man-made-climate-change-doesnt-exist/
If anything its cooler this year, than 2019.
Whilst I heard on the BBC that it’s the hottest on record!
And as usual the ice caps and polar bears ’emergency’ etc.
If we all died tomorrow. CO2 would not change. The planet would still be heated by the sun. Its in balance beyond the tweaks of Bill Gates and his team of global warriors of the left.
Question? –
Do 97% of scientists agree how the weather will be in 14 days time……
Phillip
As a ‘denier ‘ i know that if someone proved that solar activity was the dominent factor in changes in the global climate – that would be suppressed .
The whole governing class of politicians and journos have fully signed up to the ‘CO2 is bad school ‘ – so nothing can get in the way of that – not in our lifetimes anyway .
Burn those hydrocarbons..
I see the BBC are still portraying the fighters in the Panjshir Valley as heros standing up against Taliban oppression. Just as they have for decades.
Which is ironic because the BBC are in part directly responsible for the fact that they are going to be completely wiped out.
What a shame we can’t take these Lefties over there and make them watch the consequences of their actions and see what distorting truth in the name of ideology leads to. All because of their hatred of Trump.
No, take them over there, give them a rifle and abandon them.
Ivermectin: Oklahoma doctor warns against using drug for Covid treatment
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58449876
Never heard of that one BBC : thanks for the suggestion, I’ll go see if I can get some.
Just as I never considered what Trump said to mean ‘I should inject disinfectant’ until you twisted it that way. Because he never said it.
The elephant in this article about Oklahoma – where Wikipedia tells me is only 55% are ‘non-Hispanic’ white – is:
“The [emergency rooms] are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated,”
As if gunshot injuries are like catching a cold.
What occurred to me while I was researching this is how nobody on the Left has accused BLM of racism for not including Hispanics or anyone else.
Even more reason ‘taking the knee’ should be banned as the racist symbol it is.
John,
The lying, deceitful BBC also say, “Ivermectin, mainly a veterinary deworming agent, can be used in small doses to treat some human conditions.” I love, “mainly”.
Read that and all became clear: the position of the WHO, FDA, NHS, NICE et al. no doubt all receiving backhanders from big Pharma to follow that line. That’s what you are instructed to advise if you are over on the (far) left-hand-side of the fence.
Quick check of what the BBC is projecting for the UK page today:
‘Call for clarity on COVID vaccines for children’. Pic: White boy, black boy, white girl.
‘Jobs market set for bumpy ride’. Pic: Black woman.
‘Scotland and Yorkshire are TV’s top destinations’. Pic: Horse with 2 women in the background. Though the horse might be Nut-Nut.
‘Heathrow criticises Border Force’. Pic: Queue mainly women with black woman and man in foreground.
Doctors urge MP’s to take action on flu jab delay’. Pic: Woman giving woman vaccine.
‘How are schools being kept COVID-safe’. Pic: Black girl in foreground.
Plus the feature:
‘What’s it like to be in the 1% of female lorry drivers?’

How can the BBC claim they are not racist or sexist ?. The Left are total hypocrites.
Various ways of taking temperatures. I wonder which she used.
BBC News
The BBC’s Lyse Doucet takes the temperature on the streets of the Afghan capital as the Taliban tighten their grip.
Same place she talks from I expect.
Keeps her mouth clean.
A grim day indeed when the future King of Great Britain has been caught taking bribes from wealthy Saudi businessmen in exchange for face to face meetings, a reccomendation for citizenship, and a knighthood !
Again the fact these issues come to light add further creedence to the reality poverty pay for senior politicians is leading to them open to offers of money from foreign powers to follow their agenda, and not what is in the interest of this one.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9957943/Prince-Charles-closest-aide-Michael-Fawcett-forced-resign-damning-cash-favours-note.html
Well, you have to get a few ‘Folding Pictures of The Duke of Wellington to fund the stupid ginge and minge, currently hiding in squalor in their $10m mansion in some yank town.
And he’ll need to bail out his bro at some stage.
Our Queen deserves much better than all this, we just wish that her feckless brood could at least try and keep up to her fabulous standards.
I wonder who the awful BBC will blame? The muzzies, or Bigears?
So far as I’m aware Charles isn’t giving the pair any money, and is so cautious of them that he and William won’t even have a private meeting with Harry in case he lies about what was said and it is used against them.
The point is a wider one, that if the future king is accepting bribes it’s almost inconceivable politicians are not also doing so, and what is being offered in return for those bribes.
You’re right of course, Thoughtful, but somewhere along the line, those two must still be somewhere on the payroll, as if they weren’t they’d be even more boring than they are now!
As for middle eastern bribes, I suppose we should appoint a ‘special envoy’ – oops, we once did…
“bribes” = his charity accepting donations
.. and the Prince’s man saying he could fix such benefits
Once a year a certain government department would re-issue a standing instruction on the subject of fraud.
It included a question: “What is the lower limit for fraud?”.
The answer was that there was no lower limit. Any fraud was seen as breaking the bond of trust with the department and the inevitable consequence would be instant dismissal – so think more than twice for claiming £1.50 for the bus ticket that wasn’t bought.
You seem to be advocating the inverse strategy – “How much do we have to pay our leaders before they will stop fraudulently taking bribes?”
Wrong strategy, wrong leaders.
Part of the Flo clan?
The definition of ‘Diversity’ for me is ‘Over representation of minorities at the expense of the indigenous population’.
As I was checking my spelling, I discovered ‘Indigenous’ is another word whose meaning has been changed by the Left so they can use it in their narrative.
The word actually means ‘produced, living, or existing naturally in a particular region or environment’.
Wikipedia now defines it as: ‘culturally distinct ethnic groups who are native to a place which has been colonised and settled by another ethnic group.’ – ie victims.
John,
My interpretation of ‘Diversity’ is ethnic cleansing by attrition.
“(noun) A type of expulsion, in which an ethnic or religious group is forced to leave an area by another ethnic or religious group, in order to create a “pure” and homogenized area.” London anybody?

At first I thought this was old news
but that must have been another similar article on the NHS website before.
This is new news.. there was a Mail story on Friday.
By coincidence that essay is on her own website with a publication date of 4th June 2020

The list of her ‘skills’ and achievements is an example of the mind-numbingly depressing HR world of ‘Continuous Professional Development.’
First, contact the BBC.
Good old BBC.
She spent nine months in jail for a string of ‘minor crimes’. She wouldn;t have needed bail if she didn’t get convicted for them.
They really dishonest scumbags.
So…
A. Sopes’ new Texan connection?
B. Lurch screaming about polystyrene trays?

BTW the normal Twitter view excludes the bottom left, which seems to be some bread or chips on the lid.
Whats that cropped off bottom left ..
The cropped part is cutting out the big lie he served up himself.
I hope they are Halal carrots
Guess Who
With respect – surely that is false news? It is clearly the vegetarian sunday lunch option offered by Ryanair at £19.99 on selected flights ?
I hope the same caterers feeds such stuff to new ‘ arrivals ‘ fresh off the dinghy/ c17…
With even more respect, that meal was, I imagine, free.
Last time I flew economy budget in the States, it did not arrive without engaging Apple Pay first.
Or, in those days, hard cash.
Hopefully he did not react poorly if the WiFi signal was not adequate.
What they do is call each other to talk about what they are entitled to. Then they start demanding it.
It’s been happening to those floating across the channel : they know they are entitled to a room and so get abusive and threatening to the border control staff to get them it quickly.

Why can’t we see what is in the other half of the plastic tray?
BBC Editorial Guidelines on space.
White trays: that’s no good. Complain.
yes : should be paper for the environment.
Strangely, the BBC website doesn’t seem to be carrying this story, perhaps because it might cause some people to have thoughts like “Ah, now I see why Afghanis want the Taliban…”. Some of the comments are priceless.
https://www.rt.com/usa/533978-pete-buttigieg-chasten-children/
That story is just ridiculous. The two gay men are both sat in a hospital bed holding babies like they each just gave birth to the others child.
The Left live in a world of make believe.
With green rooms.
Kid’s games
‘…no economic policies, no aid, no one to run their airports and no money to pay wages…‘ – no, not Boris Johnson’s Tories, this was Christina Lamb in the Sunday Times wailing about the Taliban being taken by surprise by the sudden event of their being handed power in Kabul. Who really cares? Who would be surprised that this tribal backwater reverts to chaos, medievalism and infighting?
As for the suddeness of the takeover, one might envisage President Joe Biden as the grumpy old grandad, who didn’t really understand the tactics of the kid’s game Kerplunk – he thought if you pull all the sticks out at once and all the marbles come crashing down, then somehow you win the game.
But let’s look more closely at our Christina’s rough checklist for competancy in running a country. In a rather procolonialist sense she laments the Taliban’s unsuitability for the job. A concerned mother frustrated the kids are back in charge: ‘An urgent financial crisis awaited them‘ quoting a local former finance official: “They don’t understand the magnitude of the economic threat”
Closer to home: BBC: ‘More than 8,700 chain stores closed in British High Streets, shopping centres and retail parks in the first six months of this year, research suggests. That is an average of nearly 50 outlets a day as the impact of the pandemic and changing shopping habits continue to hit many towns and city centres‘
Ahem, the impact of… lockdown policy.
UK unemployment: BBC: ‘The Resolution Foundation said it was possible that unemployment would rise from its current level of 4.4% to about 4.9% in the autumn, with another 150,000 workers unemployed‘
Further criticism of the Taliban seems to centre around their disorganistion: “They hadn’t had the internal discussion about who would do what or how”
Meanwhile: ‘Tories at war over “idiotic” tax increase‘ (Sunday Telegraph)
‘Red Wall could crumble over tax and pension plan “madness”‘ (Sunday Express)
Red wall crumble? – must be some northern delicacy, like Eccles Cake. I can remember back when the Liberals couldn’t have jelly for tea – they thought they broke the political mould.
As for running the airports: BBC: ‘Heathrow criticises Border Force for “unacceptable” queues‘
I’m guessing security at Kabul airport now stop and question you only if you’re not on the terror watch list.
“Anything to declare, other than five suitcases full of opium poppy seeds?”
“We may have to confiscate this CD of Cliff Richard’s We’re All Going On A Summer Holiday. Cat Stephens is cool but we need to check if Sir Cliff complies with strict islamic law”
“Did you pack your suicide vest yourself, sir? Have a safe outward journey, won’t you”
One would like to find some light relief in the news but I’m afraid much of our tabloid press have gone covid crazy again.
‘Long covid hell for 2000 kids per day. Experts warn 1 in 7 could suffer. Whitty to rule on jabs in days‘ (Sunday People)
‘Covid chaos for under 18s. Teens face five-hour trip for jab’ (Sunday Mirror)
Just a reminder of these paper’s respective taglines: ‘Proud to be independent‘ and ‘We are with you‘
As the People turn up child project fear to the max: ‘As many as 2000 British kids a day may be going down with agonising cases of long Covid. One in seven may still have symptoms after 15 weeks says a report‘
Someone has been running computer models again, methinks.
We attempt to persuade kids to spend less time in front of their computer screens. About time our supposed expert modellers tried turning it off for a moment?
Pardon my ignorance, but there can’t be too much genuine research on ‘long covid’ so far.
Is it even a ‘thing’?
There are certainly no long term results – but it is a useful tool for the pharma child-jabbers.
There is no established medical evidence of anything called ‘Long Covid’. There are recognised conditions such as Post-Viral Fatigue (PVF), Post-Viral Syndrome (PVS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). This is where a person continues to have symptoms following recovery from a viral infection (e.g. ‘flu or common cold), typically continuing to feel ‘under the weather’ or constantly tired. The term ‘syndrome’ is used as there are no objective tests for these things, and the treatment can involve exercise or Cognitive Behavourial Therapy (CBT) rather than anything medicinal, although painkillers and tranquilisers can be prescribed. These are the ‘official’ views; there is also a significant body of opinion that believes such things, along with ME and ADHD, are an attempt to medicalise certain behavours that aren’t in themselves necessarily (or always) medical in nature.
AslSelt,
“Further criticism of the Taliban seems to centre around their disorganistion: “They hadn’t had the internal discussion about who would do what or how”.
I wonder if they exercised, ‘internal discussion’ before they appointed ‘associates’ to carry out throat cutting or stoning?
Here is the very alarming evidence of colusion involving British and US ‘scientists’ attempting to cover up the Chinese lab origins of Covid 19 in a smoking gun Email.

BBC on social media very excited currently about equal pay… in footballism… in NI…. For not doing the same thing.
Meanwhile, ironically…

I wonder if a question on this will come up here?
Given all the signals of virtue abounding.

Guest,
Just on the equal pay in football thing. Why should anyone given the honour of representing their country need paid?
International footballers are in the main all professionals and are well paid by their clubs, all will be properly insured by their respective governing bodies, will be given comfortable accommodation, will be suited and booted in all the latest kit, will be fed and watered with all their dietary needs met by chefs and dieticians, and will have all their first class travel expenses paid to them. If they’re not professional they still get everything gratis, it still costs them nothing.
Why should any footballer, male or female, expect to be paid an appearance fee to play for their country a few times a year?
The BBC remake of Valley of the Dolls with the holdout lads played by that fickle Russian and his ashtray is set to win all the awards.
https://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.com/2021/09/who-are-militants-in-afghanistan.html
7am R4 – An Anglican bishop who opposes women priests switches sides to Catholic (one guest was a woman who wants female priests in the Catholic church)
– A 911 victim who was a priest .. the BBC just happened to pick this gay priest to highlight
– Jewish New Year traditions
– British Muslims views on the prospect of an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
All the voices they played thought the Taliban are the good guys
except the Shia woman
(The reporter
should have asked them why there is a frenzy to leave Afghanistan(
– The Bishop of Hertford and *Gordon Brown* on vaccine inequity
(His point is we have to give vaccines to poor countries, not horde them ..a fair point
but the presenter treated Gordon Brown as a saint
… And it’s not really a religion item, but rather shoehorned into the prog on the excuse that it’s to do with morality ..surely it’s politics)
Oh there was an item on the Child Abuse in religion report.
The prog chose to focus on the Jehovah’s Witnesses and their rule that there must be two witnesses for abuse to be logged.
They now say that they will abandon that rule and report to police every time a complainant comes forward.
One guest said she doubted this would happen.
Ah… the weekend crew…
GW,
Very (new) ‘Bond’ looking. I wonder………………
Kabul is great for feminist protests this time of year.
Then…
Wait several months.
Get blown off.
Find out an ECU Director’s unique belief system.
A two year banning.
Trust them.
Fairly representative of the majority of BBC staff…..certainly the senior, frontline ones judgng by their work….
‘Wolf Hall author Dame Hilary Mantel has sparked anger after declaring that she is ‘ashamed’ of Britain and plans to take up Irish citizenship to ‘become a European again’.
The Booker Prize winner also used an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica to describe Boris Johnson as unfit for public office, to criticise the institution of monarchy and to ridicule the UK as an ‘artificial and precarious construct’.’
Naturally the BBC jumped at the chance to dramatise her murderous fantasy about killing Mrs Thatcher….
‘Thatcher ‘murder’ is BBC’s Book at Bedtime: Radio 4 ignores protests to give author’s ‘sick and perverted’ fantasy a coveted broadcast slot’
Maybe we can have a GoFundMe page to send her into outer space…apparently it’ll take less time than Tsitsipas takes to take a piss…though I imagine sending a complete shit into outer space might take a tad longer.
Radio 3 just now getting very lyrical about ‘a care-free young man’ on Grenada who was murdered.
He just happened to find a bag of drugs on the beach and thought his fortune was made, but the drug gang caught up with him and finished him off.
Now a film Ashes by Steve McQueen – all our hereoes are now criminals in the woke world.
Black youth manages to walk home without being stabbed or stabbing anyone……blue plaque material surely?
I stereotype of course because as we know Black people were core to every scientific, intellectual, political and cultural progression in Britain…if not because of their innate genius then because of the financial windfall from slavery that underpins the fabric of our nation and which we have to acknowledge and atone for.
Here’s a classic BBC hero-worship ‘coz they’re black’….why is skin colour so important here when in any other case the BBC says we must not mention it…isn’t this just racism?
‘Three black scientists you need to know’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/three-black-scientists-you-need-to-know/p09tv87f
Really? Do we need to know them..because they are black? Is that their main achievement? It seems like the BBC is hectoring and lecturing us from the pulpit….whites need to know blacks are intelligent too, whilst Blacks need to have inspirational role models…very patronising from people who think their BBC status gives them some holier than thou right to preach to us immoral and ignorant bigots as well as to poor, helpless, stupid blacks who just can’t get on in life without a hand up from their white saviours.
Interesting to note that the first hero is actually mixed race and looks more white than black…but is claimed for the ‘Black’ race….Alan Powell Goffe….somehow managed to be really sucessful, and an army officer, ‘despite’ being black and ‘discriminated against’…
‘ Alan Goffe’s loss would have also been felt, in some strange way, by black people eager to prove that it was possible to succeed despite discrimination.
Indeed, he refuted by his achievements, the view that people of African descent were intellectually inferior to whites.’
Is this not the whitest blackman you’ve ever seen?
He is the relative of a BBC employee whose daughter gets to write him up in heroic terms….
‘The world had lost one of the most brilliant scientists of his generation. ‘
‘What started out as research for a school project has ended up in a book deal for a Black British student of Caribbean heritage.
Gaia Goffe, daughter of BBC Caribbean correspondent Leslie Goffe, was given an assignment to write a paper on someone who has inspired her.
She chose a late cousin, a pioneering Black British physician, of Jamaican background.
Gaia looked at the role of Dr Alan Goffe in the development of vaccines against polio and measles.’
Don’t they know there are white Jamaicans?……
Richard Tice talking sense on Talk Radio now.
Much better than listening to Al Beeb Radio or TV .
Today programme venting about the Texas abortion laws….apparently we ‘must of course acknowledge many people are against abortion’.
That indicates where the BBC starts from…abortion is good and those who oppose it are bad….this has always been the BBC position…just another reason to hate Trump, and the DUP (whom Mishal Husain dismissed as backward and unpleasant Christians because of their views on abortion and gay marriage…hmmm…a Muslim lecturing Christians on such subjects? LOL) of course.
The pro-abortion speaker was given a very friendly platform with no challenges to her position…it was just accepted that she was in the right and didn’t have to defend her argument, statement, at all.
In the UK we kill off 200,000 babies that will need schools in five years time, jobs in 15 and houses in 20 and pensions in 70.
We replace them with 200,000 immigrants that need all those now, plus translation services.
What could possibly go wrong?
Having an – almost – BBC free weekend – i did hear a ‘ paper review’ ( now one of the easiest ways the BBC uses to promote lefty propaganda) in which alleged corruption close to Charles Windsor’s house has become apparent .
I have little time for Royalty – honours are now largely dishonoured – as this case seems to highlight .
But then i thought of The Queen . What an awful year she is having. I cannot see anyone deserving what she is going through .
We are ALL enduring an unnecessary pile of poo, at the moment – why should she be exempt?
Goat- i wasnt calling for elizabeth Windsor to be exempt
But
The death of her husband
An amoral second son
A frankly mad’ step ‘grandson
Now number 1 son caught doing corupt practices
Obviously other stuff is successfully covered up but thats some going for 2021
Looks like the bent butler is getting the full cummings treatment …
Old Goat
Well she is 95 after all.
Taffman – yes – I sorry I showed a bit of compassion for an elderly German lady – won’t happen again ….
…..elsewhere – it looks as though the coming week is a retrospective on 9/11 after 20 years .
I’d rather concentrate on a Twitter account which puts up names and details of British soldiers killed in Afgee for nothing – sent to their death by Blair ….. never again please … until the next time …
Cheap.
Once again the less well off are being hit by the green revolution being thrust upon them as the new E10 fuel comes into use…it won’t work on older cars but the owners of which can use fuel that is 12p a litre dearer…so that’s OK.
Similarly when the new green vehicle taxes were introduced those who were well-off and could afford a top end vehicle with very efficient engines could end up paying little to no tax whilst people who couldn’t afford a new car were thumped with even heavier vehicle taxes.
And so on it will be with enforced boiler replacement and house insulation and whatever other green measures the government decides we must have…along with forcing us to be vegetarian and, of course jobless, as they shut down capitalism…so no more NHS and welfare, no free schools and no defences….we’ll all be speaking Chinese soon as they roll straight over us.
BBC naturally doesn’t see any of the problems, or rather doesn’t want you to see them nor be goven the chance to object…in fact the BBC is fully on-board the green bandwagon and some might say, is in the driving seat as Roger Harrabin, one of the most corrupt and dishonest ‘journalists’ out there, distorts and hijacks BBC programming to peddle his green messaging and gives unquestioning support [other than to call for more] to government green extremism.
pugnazious
So what’s China doing about the “green revolution”?
They are selling us all the stuff that we used to make and then laughing all the way to the bank, at the same time buying controlling shares in British companies.
Its high time the Tories dumped our Liberal Prime Minister before the Conservative voters dump him.
He is beginning to get worse than Biden.
Taff….yeah..kinda laughable but not….they complain about $85 billion of kit being gifted to the Taliban but how many trillions worth of jobs, technology know-how, financial muscle and world influence have we gifted to the Chinese in a massive transfer of industrial might? Companies like Apple have undermined America/West and handed over all those things to the Chinese.

If someone can put this image up just do it.
Not really satire is it?…..and will be unnecessary soon at the rate they are sacking whites and replacing them with ‘others’. Viewers will start to jump ship even faster as they get sick to death of watching the black plague destroying their reality…..Just waiting for the black, female Henry VIII….and the white female Nelson Mandela…lol.
How long before the ‘Black Plague’ is renamed?
The internet allows all our New Britons to remain connected to home so they have no need for the BBC. It also means that they retain their home culture, indeed are encouraged to do so if they ever were to watch the BBC.
i expect the BBC, Oxbridge to the woman, see the New Britons like those they met at university, sons and daughters of politicians, diplomats and the wealthy, not the non-Westernised rubber-boaters.
Making programmes for the people that don’t watch the BBC and upsetting those that actually pay for it isn’t the smartest business model.
“Social care: Plans for reform in England likely this week – sources”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58452939
Yea ! How about funding it from the money wasted on foreign aid and cutting immigration . We never voted for this.
How about binning the BBC and all those bloated salaries and use the money for something more useful?
Taffman
There seems to be a lot of resistance to breaking one manifesto pledge to complete another – Adult Social Care has to be dealt with and funded – and it seems billions more poured down thd NHS drain to get them to do the day stuff they should have been doing for the last 18 months .
And if nut nut does raise NICs this time it will be easier for him – or Labour – to do it next time . Meanwhile the prospect of increased interest rates isn’t far away and the taxpayer has to play for all that borrowing done in the last 18 months …
Plenty of grief ahead …. And fodder for the Far Left BBC ..
1400+ raped kids – 0 funding.
Always interesting how the BBC manages a story…especially one they ‘have an interest in’…such as anything they can relate to Brexit however tenuous the link.
HGV driver shortages….due to Brexit right? At first the BBC did at least make the effort to suggest that maybe, just maybe, there were several factors in the HGV driver shortage such as covid or employment terms and conditions…not forgetting Brexit of course. As time went on Brexit became the first and main reason…the rest an afterthought…and then almost forgotten entirely….Brexit is now de facto the reason….never mind that even if Brexit played a part over 80% of the driver shortage on their own figures were the result of other causes….so how is Brexit the main culprit?
Consider over 5 million EU citizens signed up to British citizenship…how is it that up to 20,000 drivers didn’t? Is it because of Brexit or some other reason? Why could 5 million stay but they just had to go home? It couldn’t have been immigration rules as they just needed to have been living here before the cut-off date to qualify.
The real reason was covid…and the fact that pay and conditions were better in the improving economies of Eastern Europe as well as new factories being set up there offering better pay and a home life…nothing to do with Brexit…more an ‘Exit’ as they take back control of their own lives and sovereignty.
Take blood test tubes shortage…you will hear the BBC bundle this into the same narrative…due to driver shortage caused by Brexit.
Just not true….the shortage is global and is due to one American company having its own problems as covid 19 means a massive rise in demand…as well as a shortage of shipping [again something global but the BBC likes to suggest caused by Brexit]…
‘There is currently a global shortage of blood test tubes for the next few months.’
From the BMJ…
‘Becton Dickinson (BD), which manufactures most of the blood tubes used by the NHS, has alerted NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE/I) to a global shortage of some of its products. This includes two types of blood tubes: those with a yellow or purple top.
What caused the shortage?
BD says that the covid-19 pandemic created the most unpredictable demand it has seen in the past 70 years. The company says that it has also been difficult for customers to predict the types and quantities of blood tubes they will be using from month to month, which affects manufacturers’ abilities to meet demand. “Adding to the issue are global transportation delays that have resulted in more products being tied up in transportation than is normal, creating additional delays in deliveries,” BD said in a statement. “Raw material suppliers are also challenged to keep up with demand for materials and components.”’
The BBC just can’t help itself as it spins against Brexit at every chance it gets.
Time to shut it down as unreliable, corrupt and a spreader of disinformation and dangerous propaganda for various extremist groups on an industrial scale.
“Time to shut it down as unreliable”
OfCom can go with it . It does no ‘do what it says on the tin’. It would not surprise me if there are a lot of ex Beeboids running OfCom?
No wonder Obama was against Brexit – see what it has done to the US trucking business!
“Why Scotland and Yorkshire are TV’s top UK destinations”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58421232
It look like by “TV” they mean BBC and C4? IE, they choose the locations.
Strange ? At the same time Al Beeb’s viewing figure are falling all the time along with the Telly Tax. ‘The tax that robs the poor to give to the rich’.
” TV’s top UK destinations” – China and Kabul!
Interesting watch…[hat tip Is the BBC biased?]
https://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.com/2021/09/dont-be-beastly-to-pakistanis.html
Long been known that Pakistan sponsors the Taliban…to control Afghanistan and Pushtun indepence and Indian influence in Afghanistan…the Taliban is Pakistan’s proxy army like Hezbollah is Iran’s.
The BBC knows this and admitted it way back in 2012…so why does an ill-informed BBC presenter panic and deny such truths?
‘Pakistan helping Afghan Taliban – Nato’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16821218
‘”Senior Taliban representatives, such as Nasiruddin Haqqani, maintain residences in the immediate vicinity of ISI headquarters in Islamabad,” it said.
It quotes a senior al-Qaeda detainee as saying: “Pakistan knows everything. They control everything. I can’t [expletive] on a tree in Kunar without them watching.”
“The Taliban are not Islam. The Taliban are Islamabad.”‘
Of note is a realisation that the Taliban are not going away and are inccreasingly popular…not least amongst Afghan police and security forces…
‘In a damning conclusion, the document says that in the last year there has been unprecedented interest, even from members of the Afghan government, in joining the Taliban cause.
It adds: “Afghan civilians frequently prefer Taliban governance over the Afghan government, usually as a result of government corruption.”
The report has evidence that the Taliban are purposely hastening Nato’s withdrawal by deliberately reducing their attacks in some areas and then initiating a comprehensive hearts-and-minds campaign.
It says that in areas where Isaf has withdrawn, Taliban influence has increased, often with little or no resistance from government security forces. And in many cases, with the active help of the Afghan police and army.’
So why any surprise about recent events…..all this was true long before 2012….every trooper knew it was all a waste of time, money and lives.
Maybe Biden should have read this from 2002…yeah…way, way back then…..don’t leave a vacuum….
https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/who-responsible-taliban
‘Many Afghan specialists criticized the United States for merely walking away from Afghanistan after the fall of the Soviet Union. Ed Girardet, a journalist and Afghanistan expert, observed, “The United States really blew it. They dropped Afghanistan like a hot potato.” Indeed, Washington’s lack of engagement created a policy void in which radical elements in the ISI eagerly filled.’
The article from the Washington Institute gives the lie to many myths…such as when the Islamisation began [long before the Soviets and American support for the Mujahadeen] and the creation of the ‘Afghan Arabs'[again not a US creation]….and it sets out the role Pakistan played over decades in Afghanistan and later the creation of the Taliban…..nothing new….the BBC should not in anyway be surprised or offended by the truth…this is exactly what the woman was saying in the interview…how did the BBC not recognise that?….
‘Pakistan viewed Daoud’s Pushtunistan rhetoric (and his simultaneous support for Baluchi separatists), as well as his generally pro-India foreign policy, as a serious threat to Pakistani security.
Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto responded by supporting an Islamist movement in Afghanistan, a strategy that Islamabad would replicate two decades later with the Taliban.
The Taliban became the latest incarnation of Pakistan’s desire to support Islamist rather than nationalist rule in neighboring Afghanistan. The Taliban arose in madaris on Pakistani territory. Upon the capture of Spin Baldak, mujahidin commanders in Kandahar immediately accused Pakistan of supporting the new group. In late October 1994, the local mujahidin warlords intercepted a convoy containing arms, senior ISI commanders, and Taliban.(52) The men and material in this transport proved crucial in the seizure of Kandahar.’
The Dame Janet Smith review identified 72 victims of Savile – including eight who were raped – and 21 victims of Hall, over five decades from 1959.
She said BBC culture “was deeply deferential” and staff were reluctant to speak to managers about complaints.
Director general Lord Hall said the BBC had failed to protect the victims.
The review found that senior managers were not told of complaints about Savile because of an “atmosphere of fear” which still exists in the BBC.

Wow, the autocutie won’t let her talk and shuts her down.
But not before the heroic interviewee manages to say: You are doing their propagandist work…!
Touché, BBC bi*ch. (I use the word in the friendly way rappers use it about women. I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the professionalism and impartiality of the BBC News team.)
The Tweeter added this comment: As a counter-example, when the BBC *did* have a #Pakistan regime spokesman on, and he gave the usual spiel of flat-out lies and half-truths, there was not the reaction given to @CChristineFair, no direct arguing with him or demand for “balance”.

The technique the BBC often uses – of having just one side of an issue on for ‘interview ‘ does occasionally bite back – as in this case .
It might be noticed that whenever there is an ‘American ‘ issue it will be a Democrat – ideally one who worked for Obama –
Then it becomes a 4 minute ‘love fest ‘ of agreement between the Beeboid and interviewee .
The occasional republican -such as Sebastian gorka – turns up knowing full well of BBC techniques and invariably fries the beeboid .
When it goes wrong – as in this case – it is the standard ‘technical issue ‘ or ‘we haven’t got much time ‘ or ‘the other side isn’t here ‘( why ? ) … -and now the weather …..
That interviewee won’t be turning up on the BBC in the near future – or indeed – ever …
Always something of a mystery that the BBC is so violently opposed to Brexit but supports every other ‘independence’ movement…whether or not they are entirely peaceful or use extreme violence to win.
The IRA are still romantic rebels to the BBC, Islamists and BLM extremists who harbour hopes of a Bame independent mini-nation are all cheered on by the BBC….as are any other movement that will breakup and destroy Britain….such as the SNP or regional ‘nationalists’ such as those in Cornwall.
Why is it that the BBC is so keen to see Britain torn apart and its identity and unity destroyed?
Why do they support the SNP?…and yes they do despite the loud protestations of the national socialists’ street thugs.
How is it that Scottish independence is a positive thing whilst Brexit is the apocalypse?….Scotland has been in a close and dependable union for 3 centuries…3 centuries in which ties have been cemented and social, economic, military and family relationships closely intertwined whereas the EU is purely a short-term political imposition designed to destroy nation states to create an EU empire…undemocratic, distant and unforgiving.
Scotland breaking away would be extremely damaging in so many ways and suicidal for Scotland whereas breaking from a politicial entity like the EU is much much easier and sensible given its intent to make Britain merely a region of the EU empire with no native identity or power.
I have looked unsuccessfully for a BBC report on this from the Telegraph which informs us of the opinion of one of Sturgeon’s advisors….oddly nothing from the BBC…if it had been a comment on Brexit it would have been frontpage news….
‘Scottish independence will be ‘Brexit times 10’, warns Sturgeon’s economic advisor ‘
‘One of Nicola Sturgeon’s new hand-picked economic advisors has warned independence would be “Brexit times 10” thanks to the much deeper economic ties between Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Prof Mark Blyth, who was appointed to the First Minister’s new economic advisory council in July, said that “pulling apart” more than three centuries of economic integration would “hurt a lot.”
In an interview given only days before his appointment was announced by the Scottish Government in July, he said adopting a different currency and economic policy from the remainder of the UK would mean “significant short to medium-term costs.”
In particular, he said it would mean erecting trade barriers with the English market, which is the destination for 60 per cent of Scottish exports.
Prof Blyth, a Scots-born academic based in the UK, said optimists would argue “how hard could it be” with a country of only four million people “and we have loads of resources.”
But the independence supporter said the pessimist view of “300 years of deep economic integration – good luck unwinding that” was “simultaneously true” and both views must be taken into account.
His intervention emerged as Ms Sturgeon intensified her attacks on Brexit, arguing it was responsible for a drop in numbers of HGV drivers that have caused shortages of some food supplies.’
Note the irony of Sturgeon attacking Brexit whilst demanding her own exit….her paradoxical positioning the same as the BBC’s.
Pug
I don’t think the SNP has ever spelled out the actual consequences of a separation from the rest of the UK – for instance – my favourite – a solid border as a requirement for EU membership -which she seems to crave .
I am assuming that the SNP thinks England would be a ‘friend ‘ to the new foreign entity and expect subsidies and other relationships to continue . However the English might have something to say about that ….
….and the Scottish economy will be based on selling shetlands’ oil to be turned into alleged ‘greenhouse gases ‘…….cue the re run of ‘brave heart ‘
Question…how many of the legendary 20,000 EU drivers that fled Brexit Britain were actually driving the products the BBC claims? How many were actually driving delivery vans for Amazon or Hermes….oddly there seems to be no shortage of such drivers…order stuff from Amazon and a different driver will appear every time…and the fields seem full of foreign pickers…how is it that some farmers can’t get the labour?
Every time we hear of some shortage the BBC claims its ‘Brexit’ without providing any evidence that drivers did leave due to Brexit and without any proof that it is their absence that is actually the cause of the shortages.
The latest is Ikea [a well known opponent of Brexit who will also make spurious claims about Brexit]…
‘Ikea struggles with supply problems due to driver shortage’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58443653
Note they mention covid but then move rapidly on to making Brexit the main culprit.
Guess they have adopted the Nazi trick of ‘The Big Lie’….tell a whopper often enough and it becomes fact.
A quote that’s as current now as it was decades ago….
‘My generation of radicals and breakers-down never found anything to take the place of the old virtues of work and courage and the old graces of courtesy and politeness.’ F. Scott Fitzgerald
I’m sure that the BBC has reported the name of the Islamic terrorist who attempted to carry out mass murder in NZ a couple of days ago –
In case they have not – it is
Ahamed Aathil Mohamed Samsudeen, age 32 –
( do you think they called him ‘Sam ‘ or ‘mo’?)
a local man from Oslo – by way of Shri Lanka . If only he had fallen under a bus after being released from prison ….
‘The XR activist concluded by saying: “We have reached a point of revolution or ruin as Marx foretold. Only a mass anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist socialist movement outside the confines of parliamentary parties can challenge climate change.”’
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2021/09/05/exclusive-video-extinction-rebellion-activist-says-only-socialism-can-stop-climate-change/
Extremist marxism that the BBC supports…their views are intertwined….anti-capitalist, anti-consumer, anti-democracy…you can hear this on the BBC day in day out…by the presenters themselves….
‘At an Extinction Rebellion protest on Saturday, a speaker claimed that the socialist model, along the lines of Communist Cuba, is the only way to combat supposedly man-made climate change.
On the final day of the two weeks of demonstrations from the radic al climate change alarmist group Extinction Rebellion (XR), an activist from the Marxist-Leninist Revolutionary Communist Group (RCG) declared that socialism is the answer to climate change, to the applause of the crowd in Trafalgar Square.
“The only logical response to the urgency of the climate crisis is through an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist socialist movement built here on our streets,” the XR activist said.
“Environmental destruction is an essential part of the capitalist mode of production. Any movement that is not anti-imperialist will simply be green imperialism. Socialism is the only alternative to the destruction born through capitalism, the needs of the people and the planet are put before profits.”’
Note this friendly chat over at Newsnight…the intro was pure XR propaganda and a carefully crafted advert for the protests….gotta love the delusional ‘We’re all for democracy’….however they don’t care what people think and are not trying to win an election…er….thus it’s an anti-democratic aggressive pressure group that is in fact close to being a terror group in its use of its tactics….
‘Let’s call these pious Extinction Rebellion ‘activists’ by their real name: terrorists. And call in the police’
https://www.mailplus.co.uk/edition/comment/98462/extinction-rebellion-activists-are-terrorists
‘xtinction Rebellion are back on the streets, attempting to cause as much disruption as possible – all to highlight global warming.
As if it needed any more highlighting.
As if this country wasn’t already overrun by climate concern.
Across the political spectrum, across the media, across business. These climate change obsessives are fighting a war they have already won.
It feels like every other sentence out of the mouth of the Prime Minister is now how we must build back greener. As the international environmental COP 26 conference is approaching, we are even beginning to hear a new government slogan to be browbeaten by: ‘Coal, Cars, Cash, Trees’.
These are actions not those befitting a high-status protest group – and certainly not one that sees all too widespread sympathy among the chattering classes, as if its extreme ends justify its dangerous means.
It’s time to call out the extremists at Extinction Rebellion for what they are.
The Terrorism Act [2000] sets out a handy definition for us: ‘Terrorism means the use or threat of action where… the use or threat is designed to influence the government… and… the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political… or ideological cause.’
So far bang to rights.
The Act’s definition goes on to say: ‘Action falls within this subsection if it… involves serious damage to property… endangers a person’s life… creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public, or is designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.’
Extinction Rebellion clearly meets this definition. It attacks property, levels cyber-attacks, and risks lives by blocking ambulances. All to advance a political goal. To cajole the government to do its bidding by disruptive, non-democratic means.
No one should shirk from calling out this action for what it is. Eco-terrorism.’
Alas it’s also supported by Blue Labour too.
Gordon Brown once again trying to give himself a bigger profile….
The BBC is a big supporter of this narrative and yet only this morning told us that it was western countries that were suffering the most….and surely if we only half vaccinate our population that will make us even more vulnerable to the virus as, let’s face, Africa ain’t going to be ever safe…and note Africa is not exactly a covid hotbed…curiously it is mostly western nations or those with close ties to us that are badly effected….you may think this may be a good indicator that this is bio-warfare by China….you could well be right.

Not Beeb but just wanted to mention went to see Jim Davidson on Friday. Full theatre of generally like minded folk who had a bloody good laugh. Such a refreshing change to see real comedy and trust me once the likes of him are not there with a voice to represent the non PC crowd we are stuffed.
Saw him decades ago at the long defunct Caesers Palace in Luton. He had the place in a riot, the audience were laughing so much that it took him ages to get the next gag out, so he overran by nearly an hour. Terrific night.
7.15pm Countryfile
Presenter “There are 650 types of seaweed in Scotland
all helping to combat Climate Change”
Do they ?
.. every living thing eg humans has carbon in it that was once CO2 in the air
but when we die and burn/decay the CO2 returns to the atmosphere
If you forest an area that wasn’t forest before, then you are sequestrating CO2 for the life of the tree, and with luck some of it will become marsh and then decay without oxygen and become peat, trapping the CO2 for many years longer.
I’m not sure seaweed is as effective.
Sciency woman “we are noticing the sea is getting more acidic cos of Climate Change”
Are you really ??
“Acidic sea” is a PR word ..The sea is still alkali and I don’t think changes in alkalinity are immediately noticeable .. Rather you need sensitive methods to detect any decrease in alkalinity.
“but the seaweed actually ameliorates that and buffers the acidity”
Hmm
This week was a seaweed festival special from Scotland where almost no one was Scotch
The festival organiser was Welsh and had a “Yes Cymru” Welsh Independence poster behind her on the zoom call
The seaweed festival is actually tomorrow, so Countryfile didn’t have much material so padded out the prog with 30 mins of old repeats.
“Julia Barton, the Seaweed Festival’s curator and
*environmental artist*”
