The beeb is also pleased to publicise a book called ‘Fire and Fury’ about concerns over Trump’s mental health.
Strangely, the BBC has never had any concerns over the much more obvious signs of Biden’s mental health problems.

Call for investigation of menstrual changes after Covid jabs

“There is no evidence to suggest that these temporary changes will have any impact on a person’s future fertility, or their ability to have children,” Dr Mountfield said.

Other vaccines, such as HPV or human papillomavirus, have also been linked to similar menstrual changes – but there has been little research carried out on how and why it happens.

Nigeria rejected British offer to rescue seized Chibok schoolgirls {theguardian.com – mar2017}
In a mission named Operation Turus, the RAF (UK Airforce) conducted air reconnaissance over northern Nigeria for several months, following the kidnapping of 276 girls from the town of Chibok in April 2014 (by Islamist militant group Boko Haram). “The girls were located in the first few weeks of the RAF mission,” a source involved in Operation Turus told the Observer. “We offered to rescue them, but the Nigerian government declined.”

Westminster attack: Police chief defends deputy who stayed in car as officer was killed
Sir Craig Mackey faced criticism for staying in his vehicle while attacker Khalid Masood stabbed PC Keith Palmer to death.
By Lucia Binding, news reporter
Saturday 13 October 2018 06:06, UK
https://news.sky.com/story/westminster-attack-police-chief-defends-deputy-who-stayed-in-car-as-officer-was-killed-11524514
The head of the Metropolitan Police has said it is “simply wrong” to criticise her deputy for remaining in his car during the Westminster terror attack.
Cressida Dick said that accusing Sir Craig Mackey of cowardice was “confused, unpleasant, personalised and ignorant” and was “simply not supported by the evidence”.
Her comments came after an inquest concluded that Westminster attacker Khalid Masood was lawfully killed.
The Muslim convert mowed down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge in a hired SUV, killing four people and seriously injuring 29 others, before stabbing PC Keith Palmer to death.
Jurors at the Old Bailey heard that Sir Craig, one of the country’s most senior police officers, stayed in his official car as Masood murdered PC Palmer during the attack in March last year.
As in so much else, Head Dick is completely wrong (in fact, I can’t think of many instances where she’s been right about anything?), I would certainly call her deputy a coward for cowering in his car, whilst one of HIS officers was brutally stabbed to death nearby. If that’s not the definition of a coward, what is?!

Jimmy Savile (1926–2011) was an English media personality who, during his lifetime, was well known in the United Kingdom for his eccentricities and was generally respected for his charitable work. He was knighted in 1990. In late 2012, almost a year after his death, reports surfaced that Savile had sexually abused hundreds of individuals throughout his life, with alleged male and female victims, ranging from prepubescent to adult.

Stabbing in the back is something our French neighbours are experts in , eh ?

I don’t know if those people have returned.

TOADY Watch #1 – much excitement on TOADY, a chance to visit Turkey
The TOADY Presenters do like their foreign travel and foreign holidays, don’t they? All agog for Istanbul and beyond. Not too worried about what germs they bring back?
We consider international relations for a moment this morning as that extarordinary resource of junk statistics which is the FT’s Datawatch provides a graph of: ‘% who say Merkel’s policies have been positive for their country‘
At first glance one assumes this must be an opinion poll of Germans gauging their Chancellor’s approval rating as she finally approaches the close of her long 16-year incumbency.
But silly me. I’m not thinking globally enough for the FT.
This is in reality that peculiar thing a measure of a national leader’s approval in other foreign nations. Considering Germany sits dominant astride the EU and has a significant hand in Brussel’s policy there may have been some justification for a poll of citizens of other EU continental states.
However, the FT, remember, is super globalist and Merkel’s rating is polled as far afield as China where, apparently, she was a bit hit. More than 60% of the Chinese, we’re told, agree with the statement that the policies of the present female Chancellor of Germany have been good for THEIR country.
Something under 20% disagree. Far be it from me to question the level of international awareness in that bat soup quaffing mass interior population of billions within the PRC – and I’m sure we possess somewhat different educational systems – but I seriously doubt 80% of Britons would have a handle on who leads Germany and were in a position to adequately rate her policies. And we’re near neighbours.
And I’m not so naive as to really imagine some pollster in hi-viz tabard, clutching a clip board, had permission to visit every Chinese village, paddy field and wet market with their damned fool questions.
What we really have here is what I’d like to dub the Mikhail Gorbachev effect – the odd globalist notion that national leaders are best judged on their popularity abroad. Barack Obama was another one hugely popular outside of his native (ahem…) country of the US but rated somewhat “Meh” for his achievements at home. He won the Nobel prize for nothing more than being his own lovable self. You’ll note a leader’s international approval winning out over his internal popularity often tends to pressage a decline in the international standing of his home nation.
I know you’re curious to know which other countries love their Merkel? Seems there’s a bit of an old axis and friends flavour to the list: ‘Spain, Italy, France (Vichy?), Turkey (Gastarbeiter), Russia (Nord Stream gas pipeline).
Evidently the UK don’t join wholeheartedly in the great global Merkel love in. It is a near thing between approvers and disapprovers but in results much in line with the Brexit referendum we marginally disliked our German Chancellor.
In further news likewise on the international stage: ‘Tell us if deal will drag Britain to war, PM urged‘ – so asks the formerly patriotic Times relaying the China-friendly question asked by that much respected international stateswoman and deal maker Theresa May – who always made it her business to stand up for our international interests – sort of. ‘Johnson challenged over defence pact with US and Australia‘
The Guardian is more forthright in its appeasement – despite Biden: ‘UK and US face backlash amid fears pact could provoke China‘ – I suppose if we want to avoid war at all costs we should ally instead with China and Russia? And the Arabs and Iranians. But what do we do when that lot all fall out with one another?
There’s a story today that tends to encapsulate Britain’s decline. Our precurser and answer to Elon Musk has passed on: ‘End of the road at 81 for Sir Clive, Britain’s lovable C5 boffin‘ (Daily Mail)
‘Gene-edited food coming to UK plates‘ – alarms the ‘i’. Are we really scared? Considering we’ve just ok’ed mass injections for 12-year-olds with a drug that circumvented all the normal long term safety testing regimes.
For a virus our scientists still know so little about they can’t honestly tell us whether it came from bats, pangolins or a Chinese laboratory.
If our elite are so scared of China then do they know something we don’t?
The perils of stardom.
I’m a curry muncher, I love curry… too much, I’ve had to reduce my intake to a ‘treat’ a few times a year, for the sake of my wallet, and my waistline.
EVERYONE has slang they use for other people, some of it is ‘racist’, some is harmless, some of it quite cruel, and some well deserved.
‘Curry Muncher’ seems rather less offensive and cruel than most I’ve heard… ‘Gammon’ for example, which is specifically a description of skin colour, baldness, fatness, and a deliberate association with an animal which is usually perceived negatively.
Long COVID or merely Hypochondria ?
So Brillo claims that GBN is too right wing for his taste and so he left. What exactly did he want , something which didn’t challenge the lunacy of net zero, or challenge the obvious madness of mass immigration, something that didn’t highlight the election stealing in the USA. I suspect that the answer is yes , that is exactly what he wanted. Basically something a bit to the right of the BBC , ie centre left as the BBC is far left nowadays, but which preserved the liberal establishment orthodoxy on the critical issues.
So the channel is better off without him. It shows how bad the BBC is when only a year or two ago Brillo was the furthest right of their coterie of extreme leftist presenters and we often praised him on this site. My only fear is that him leaving and making these remarks on Question Time, which for the record I didn’t watch, will make it easier for the liberal establishment via their control of Ofcom to force the channel leftward or face closure.
Will the newly proposed Murdoch channel do any better? Not with Ofcom ruling the roost. Come on Nadine start by replacing the board of Ofcom and let GBN and Murdoch be themselves.
One bit of good news is that the readers comments in the Telegraph have contained numerous posts urging people to refuse to pay the License Fee. I have not seen so many people declaring their refusal to continue to fund the BBC before. Hope springs eternal.
Double – yes – hope does spring eternal – toady – unusually – ‘hosted ‘ a discussion between a guardian droid and the Tim Montgomery ‘righty’ about GBNews and the coming Murdock TV .
Swamp dwellers talking to each other doesn’t air the kind of ‘diversity of thought ‘ so often desired here . In fact it rather re inforces the problem …
Yet ok as the corridors rolled with empty champagne bottles stepped over by Mason and O’Brien?
Toady
Robinson on safe ground – ‘violence against wimmin ‘ – interviewing a couple of wimmin – one a chief plod saying about how plod must do more – perhaps take the same stance as when greenies block the m 25 .
The sort of stranger violence – such as the plod who abducted a woman in the street and killed her recently – with the ‘made your bed now lie in it – domestic violence ‘ .
As a chap – without any experience of domestic violence – I would suggest there is a big difference between these .
It is interesting – too – that these lefties treat these ‘gender issues ‘ as though all men and wimmin are from the same ;culture’ in Britain – when – sadly – this is not the case any more.
TOADY Watch #2 – much excitement on TOADY, police are not taking action
Zoe Billingham, police woman, has done a report. Her report finds that police are not taking seriously the domestic abuse of women and violence against women. The response of the police? “Give us more money and we’ll start doing our jobs properly.”
Fairly brainless, Big Interview, with Nick Robinson who conflates, maybe deliberately, street safety with violence at home and in private. Also fairly brainless of the TOADY Editors and News scriptwriters who are completely sold on the Sarah Everard murder while ignoring the facts of that individual case.
Especially the key fact: that crime was committed by a Police Officer.
More money?
Correction to the above: Zoe Billingham is a lawyer and is HM Inspector of Constabulary. Something else Nick Robinson got wrong!

Is that because the job will be gone when furlough really ends ?
That mixed race young lady with the afro hair is kept really busy, – appearing in every advert going !
TOADY Watch #3 – much excitement on TOADY and maybe elsewhere at the BBC, Andrew Neil infers GB News is right wing and Fox News is Far Right Wing.
Apparently, ex-Beeboid Andrew Neil was on BBC TV’s Question Time last evening. The main points according to the 6 a.m. News on TOADY: Andrew Neil has said Fox News is Far Right, believes conspiracy theories and spreads ‘Fake News’. The new Murdoch TV Channel is Far Right. GB News is, well, viewers can make up their own minds whether it is Far Right or not.
First thought in Snuffy’s head: Neil’s been bought. Second thought in Snuffy’s head: who by? We know he loves money. We know he has a very expensive lifestyle with three homes and alimony to support. Is Neil going to be back on the BBC? Or on CNN? Or will one of the NewYork & Washington papers start a TV Channel?
Was Neil around when Jimmy Saville hid in plain sight?
BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast
BBC Radio 5 Live, Wednesday 3 January 2018
During a phone-in on the programme a contributor, Danielle Tiplady was introduced as a staff nurse. We should have established and made clear on air that she was a political activist.

You can see it ‘the piers and Andrew show ‘ – Murdock Tv at its best – they’ll be interviewing ‘Emma’ – that AQ terrorist girl – Prince Andrew – that Man U footy bloke ( aged 35 ) …-and each other ….
The speed with which Andrew Neil has been re-embraced by the BBC, using QT as a platform to undermine GBN, suggests his enthusiasm was perhaps suspect from the start, or even earlier. There are similarities with the strange decision to gift the responsibility for Brexit to Teresa May and Phillip Hammond – almost as though designed to fail – but that must credit the establishment with a quite staggering degree of duplicity. Surely not?
Luckily the more than faintly ludicrous Nels Abbey – described as a banker, though that may have been a spelling mistake – proved to be an ace party-pooper, stealing Andrew’s limelight enough to make that mini-rug bristle in fury.
Have to agree Snuffy, there’s a nasty whiff around it. I must admit I thought it odd that after only 2 weeks Neil buggers off, and guessed he had a better offer elsewhere. He had plenty of time before the launch to offload himself, so perhaps he was waiting for any offer to be confirmed. And hasn’t Piers Morgan been boasting lately that he is in the middle of a ‘project’ that will be global ???
BBC comedy – now in the news
Reports that a foreign country is being accused of corruption and fraud in a forthcoming democratic election – postal vote Naughties and candidate politicians being banned from social media …
Can you guess the country
A America
B Russia
C bongo bongo land
D none the the above
– for candidates requiring an uplift on exam results the answer is B .
A and C have free and fair elections ….in fact they are the same country …
TOADY Watch #4 – much excitement on TOADY, the French are upset poor dears
No mention of the French welshing on an agreement to send Covid vaccines to Australia. No mention of the French welshing on agreement to stop the flow of illegal migrants across the Channel to the UK. No. None of that.
The Australians are being beastly to the French by cancelling an order for nuclear-powered submarines. The UK is being beastly to the French by agreeing to build nuclear-powered submarines for the Australians. So says the BBC while sob-sob-sobbing into their hankies on behalf of the French.
They sending Jon Don back in his canoe?
Or the Egyptian Strine expert still there posting like fury?
Guest, I thought Jon Don had blotted his BBC copy book and was doing penance on BBC Radio Maidenhead or some such. Isn’t there a Beeboid Indian lass reporting from Oz also?
Secret meetings now in the back passage to Frankie Howerd as to who gets the broadcast rights… Newsbeat or straight to Ceebeebies.
Nish is interested, his agent could say. Reportedly.
She has nothing left to talk about except her sexuality – healthy living – being a good actor? BBC money?
Sexuality? She looks like one of the “Time Bandits”.
Sell that Book
Much of her charm was lost to me when she asked, while being interviewed, to be given a moment to remove her girlfriend’s pubes from between her teeth….
Beltane -yellow card -bad taste …ugh … ( not really a yellow card – maybe just ‘taking one for the team )
The only role she is suitable for is a witch in Macbeth. On second thoughts, this weird sister might be too disgusting a hag even for that. No wonder the Monty Python and Goodies lads hated her at uni.
Ah, remember the days of St. Obama! A minor pop celebrity, unknown to most, might die yet the BBC website would lead with condolences from Obama, even though the celebrity wasn’t even American!
No scrutiny of his actual policies though.
Along comes Trump, every nervous twitch picked up on, video material edited to cut out context and big chunks of time, every made-up allegation treated as true, etc.
Now we have Biden whose one great achievement will be to beat Obama’s record as worst president in living memory, barely able to put two thoughts together. We have the great Dr Fauci who boasted to Australian TV that he was behind Covid. Every day brings more evidence of all the offices of state having worked against Trump, now we have suggestions that Milley was at the very least insubordinate but more likely part of a real insurrection along with Pelosi.
All this should be like ‘Watergate’ on steroids, fertile ground for real journalists, but the BBC has shut up shop ‘for the duration’. (Should however some black guy get given a bannana soda by mistake in a one horse town in mid-America no doubt Sopel will mention it while plugging his latest book).
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.’

That’d be the same Obama that suppressed the investigation of the Saudi involvement in The Twin Towers 9/11 to get the Saudis to stay quiet on the Iran nuclear deal that him and Kerry cooked up.
BBC Question time – where questions go to die .. remember when it had balls?!
“…and it shouldn’t have been our high commissioner (UKs) called in by the Pakistani Government to be lectured, we should have pulled in the envoy of Pakistan here and said ‘Stop that right now (protesting by blowing things up), or do without the aid we give you (Pakistan) …'”

So what is wrong with Fox News?
Ex BBC man, ex GB News man Andrew Neil accuses Fox News of fake news, etc. Something that must offend the high standards he shared with the BBC.
I never shared the view that Neil was in any sense better than other BBC presenters, and his performance on QT, indicated that he is back where he belongs.

Ofcom has imposed a £20,000 fine on Islam Channel Limited in relation to its service the Islam Channel for failing to comply with our broadcasting rules.

hmmm… be interesting to know if the fine is covered by Riyadh or Doha?
I think that Andrew Neil considers himself far too cultured to engage in the media culture war needed. He seems to have taken the easy way out for someone who is, depending on your view, either a deceived defender of free-thought or a slightly sleazy egotist, fond of money and himself.
I’ve thought of him as being confusingly self-contradicting in his views for a while now and reckon I’d find having a pint with Neil Oliver a lot easier and more enjoyable.
He went on QT to decry Fox News and suck up to all the lefty shite.
Now they still hate him and he’s certainly made me disregard him.
Tried to please everyone and ends up pleasing no-one.
Follow the money. As usual.
Jeremy Corbyn … speaks at Al Quds rally (does not denounce Ayatollah) and on Iranian PressTV and does not denounce ‘Death to Isreal’ emoji released by Iranian government.
Diane Abbott … suggests Mao did more good than harm.
David Lammy … called the smoke from the Vatican racist.
If you believe in this team then it tells me you support Iran, China and are racist.
Nominally about California but applies to the USA in general, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and of course the UK.
Britain gifted the world the best form of government but that government only exists as long as the people want to keep it.
Bring in other peoples from other cultures in quantity and they have no respect or understanding of the country that they now ‘belong’ to.
No more USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or UK, no more ‘the West’.
Jim,
I see the US as the many headed ‘Hydra’. All the heads are devoted to independently biting chunks out of one another. Even if Trump became US President again in 2024 and hit the ground running, he would not be able to turn the ship round much less stop it. It’s too big now.
I don’t think it will end well.
China to export a NEW DEMOCRACY! One Party! One Vote!
“To cite the other person you just said that would *trigger you Sam Harris*, Mark Steyn said this the other day, *this is the conversation we will be having when the Mullahs nuke us*.Everyone will be discussing if someone is transgender despite the fact they’ve had no operation (ref Jack Monroe in UK)” – Douglas Murray when he’s angry, but he still makes sense.
You can’t keep hearing the same mantra from all the World’s controlling medical elite condemning Ivermectin to deal with the Chinese Virus without concluding that there is a conspiracy going on. Is it a continuing effort to surreptitiously ‘thin out’ the World’s population? I don’t know but something’s going on and the concern for the health of most of the unvaxed Worlds population is of no concern to them right now. First India, their medical profession ignored their Government’s instructions (via the WHO) to desist prescribing Ivermectin. Now Australia:
You cannot miss John Campbell’s contempt for the Aussie Health Authority.
Very surprised that YT has not taken the vid down, they seem to do that anywhere IVM is the focus.
Happy days – you cannot believe much that comes from the mouths of the elite anymore. Shocking. We pay these people and provide all the money for their frivolous decision making.
They shout “Global Warming, Global Warming ..is bring us MORE natural disasters”
yet here’s some evidence against that from the Economist article this July.

GB News has had many technical problems.
Many of them sound and synchronisation problems which are gradually being sorted out.
Those against GBN criticise it for these “amateur” failings yet they seem to miss the point that many many people would rather watch this fledgling channel, warts and all, than the ‘fault free’ rest of the msm.
In short, people prefer a channel telling the truth to all the high money extreme far left biased msm channels and will watch the ‘cheaper’ productions of GBN.
Can’t they see it’s a sort of compliment to the GBN content as opposed to an easy put down because of start up technical problems.
Dennis Reed of Silver Voices meeting with BBC Boss Tim Davie
In a world where almost every NGO has been highjacked by Marxists
Silver Voices is supposed to represent the interests of pensioners
They have a campaign “to force the BBC and Government to find ways to reinstate the free TV licence for the over 75s. ”
Yet bashing Tories seems a major interest
YouTube tells me that Silver Voices have put out a press release
about this meeting
It’s not on their website/Twitter/Facebook
SV say the meeting was 6 weeks ago
#1 Nothing happened
#2 Tim Davie didn’t turn up
#3 “Customer Care” AKA sales teams … are now visiting over 75s homes, to get them to get their payment on the spot
#4 BBC sent Clare Sumna & Pipa Doubtfire instead
(they are BBC Director of Policy .. and Head of Revenue Management )
#4 BBC rejected out of hand, the SV idea that they should approach the government to reach a solution.
#5 Silver Voices seem more interested in passing on blame to the government
as you can see from this screenshot taken from Jon Carne’s video .. https://youtu.be/AU3saN_txk8
Almost every ‘representative’ community outlet, of those I have heard of and those never, charity or ngo, seems to get money from the hapless taxpayer via idiot government to work against everyone’s interests bar a narrow bunch of activist howler monkeys.
If the bbc is involved it is either complicit or exempted or quietly chatting on new undermining measures to get Corbyn in.
